All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements”, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.

● our dependence on a small number of customers for our yew raw materials, including a related party ;

● our dependence on a small number of customers for our yew trees for reforestation;

● our ability to market successfully yew raw materials used in the manufacture of traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”);

● industry-wide market factors and regulatory and other developments affecting our operations;

● our ability to sustain revenues should the Chinese economy slow from its current rate of growth;

● continued preferential tax treatment for the sale of yew trees and potted yew trees;

● uncertainties about involvement of the Chinese government in business in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) generally; and

● any change in the rate of exchange of the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) to the U.S. dollar, which could affect currency translations of our results of operations, which are earned in RMB but reported in dollars;

● industry-wide market factors and regulatory and other developments affecting our operations;

● any impairment of any of our assets;

● a slowdown in the Chinese economy; and

● risks related to changes in accounting interpretations.

For a detailed description of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors”, beginning on page 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 14, 2020.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The accompanying unaudited interim 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Yew Bio-Pharm Group, Inc. (individually “YBP” and collectively with its subsidiaries and operating variable interest entity, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been presented.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Certain amounts from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company’s financial position or results of operations presented.

NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of YBP, its subsidiaries and operating VIE and its subsidiaries in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Pursuant to a restructuring plan intended to ensure compliance with applicable PRC laws and regulations (the “Second Restructure”), on November 5, 2010, JSJ entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangements”) with HDS and/or Zhiguo Wang, his wife Guifang Qi and Xingming Han (collectively with Mr. Wang and Madame Qi, the “HDS Shareholders”), as described below:

● Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement between JSJ and HDS (the “Business Cooperation Agreement”), JSJ has the exclusive right to provide to HDS general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to technology, research and development, human resources, marketing and other services deemed necessary (collectively, the “Services”). Under the Business Cooperation Agreement, JSJ has exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of the Business Cooperation Agreement, including but not limited to copyrights, patents, patent applications, software and trade secrets. HDS shall pay to JSJ a monthly consulting service fee (the “Service Fee”) in RMB that is equal to 100% of the monthly net income of HDS. Upon the prior written consent by JSJ, the rate of Service Fee may be adjusted pursuant to the operational needs of HDS. Within 30 days after the end of each month, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ the management accounts and operating statistics of HDS for such month, including the net income of HDS during such month (the “Monthly Net Income”), and (b) pay 80% of such Monthly Net Income to JSJ (each such payment, a “Monthly Payment”). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ financial statements of HDS for such fiscal year, which shall be audited and certified by an independent certified public accountant approved by JSJ, and (b) pay an amount to JSJ equal to the shortfall, if any, of the aggregate net income of HDS for such fiscal year, as shown in such audited financial statements, as compared to the aggregate amount of the Monthly Payments paid by HDS to JSJ in such fiscal year. HDS also granted an irrevocable and exclusive option to JSJ to purchase any and all of the assets of HDS, to the extent permitted under PRC law, at the lowest price permitted by PRC law. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Cooperation Agreement or other agreements separately executed between JSJ and HDS, the Business Cooperation Agreement is for a term of ten years and expires on November 5, 2020; however, the term of the Business Cooperation Agreement may be extended if confirmed in writing by JSJ prior to the expiration of the term thereof. The period of the extended term shall be determined exclusively by JSJ and HDS shall accept such extended term unconditionally. Unless JSJ commits gross negligence, or a fraudulent act, against HDS, HDS shall not terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of the term, including any extended term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JSJ shall have the right to terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice to HDS.

● Exclusive Option Agreement. Under an Exclusive Option Agreement among JSJ, HDS and each HDS Shareholder (individually, an “Option Agreement”), the terms of which are substantively identical to each other, each HDS Shareholder has granted JSJ or its designee the irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or any part of the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option”) for RMB10. If an appraisal is required by PRC laws at the time when and if JSJ exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and, based upon the appraisal, make a necessary adjustment to the purchase price so that it complies with any and all then applicable PRC laws. Without the consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of their respective shares of HDS stock. Additionally, without the prior consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not in any manner supplement, change or amend the articles of association and bylaws of HDS, increase or decrease its registered capital, change the structure of its registered capital in any other manner, or engage in any transactions that could materially affect HDS’ assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, the incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness except incurred in the ordinary course of business, execute any major contract over RMB500,000, sell or purchase any assets or rights, incur of any encumbrance on any of its assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to its business operation to any third party. The term of each Option Agreement is ten years commencing on November 5, 2020 and may be extended at the sole election of JSJ.

7

● Equity Interest Pledge Agreement. In order to guarantee HDS’s performance of its obligations under the Business Cooperation Agreement, each HDS Shareholder, JSJ and HDS entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement (individually, a “Pledge Agreement”), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, each HDS Shareholder pledged all of his or her equity interest in HDS to JSJ. If HDS or the HDS Shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations and such breach is not remedied to the satisfaction of JSJ within 20 days after the giving of notice of breach, JSJ, as pledgee, will be entitled to exercise certain rights, including the right to foreclose upon and sell the pledged equity interests. During the term of the Pledge Agreement, the HDS Shareholder shall not transfer his or her equity interest in HDS or place or otherwise permit any other security interest of other encumbrance to be placed on such equity interest. Upon the full payment of the Service Fee under the Business Cooperation Agreement and upon the termination of HDS’s obligations thereunder, the Pledge Agreement shall be terminated.

● Power of Attorney. Under the Power of Attorney executed by each HDS Shareholder (each, a “Power of Attorney”), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other, JSJ has been granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the HDS Shareholders, to act on behalf of the HDS Shareholder as his or her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all matters concerning the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS, including without limitation, the right to: 1) attend shareholders’ meetings of HDS; 2) exercise all the HDS Shareholders’ rights, including voting rights under PRC laws and HDS’s Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the HDS Shareholder’s equity interests in HDS in whole or in part; and 3) designate and appoint on behalf of the HDS Shareholders the legal representative, executive director, supervisor, manager and other senior management of HDS.

To the extent that the Contractual Arrangements are enforceable under PRC law, as from time to time interpreted by relevant state agencies, they constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of the parties to each such agreement.

The Company believes that HDS is considered a VIE under ASC 810 “Consolidation”, because the equity investors in HDS no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through JSJ, is the primary beneficiary of HDS and controls HDS’s operations. Accordingly, HDS has been consolidated as a deemed subsidiary into YBP as a reporting company under ASC 810.

YBP has no direct or indirect legal or equity ownership interest in HDS. However, through the Contractual Arrangements, the stockholders of HDS have assigned all their rights as stockholders, including voting rights and disposition rights of their equity interests in HDS to JSJ, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. YBP is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the financial statements of HDS are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheets that relate to the Company’s variable interest in the VIE and VIE’s subsidiary are as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new leasing guidance (“Topic 842”) that replaced the existing lease guidance (“Topic 840”). Topic 842 established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. This guidance also expanded the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases.

The Company adopted Topic 842 on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach; as such, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s previously reported results. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed the Company to carry forward its identification of contracts that are or contain leases, its historical lease classification and its accounting for initial direct costs for existing leases. The impact of adopting Topic 842 was not material to the Company’s result of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $350,000 upon adoption, with corresponding ROU assets on its balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION 

The Company accounts for revenue arising from contracts and customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) , which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the Company’s previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price, which is allocated to the respective performance obligation, when the performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the contracts. 

In general, the Company’s products within its segments are aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its products and provide meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations. Disaggregation of revenue by business segment are included in Note 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION.

NOTE 5 - TAXES 

(a) Federal Income Tax and Enterprise Income Taxes 

The table below summarizes the difference between the U.S. statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
U.S. federal income tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
Tax rate difference		9.6	%		5.6	%
Loss not subject income tax		-	%		8.7	%
PRC tax exemption and reduction		(60.2	)%		(40.8	)%
GILTI		-	%		-	%
Valuation allowance		29.6	%		-	%
Others		-	%		-	%
Effective tax rate		-	%		(5.4	)%

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company recognized provisional tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and corresponding valuation allowances in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Company recognized a one-time transition tax of $1,431,835 during 2018 that represented management’s estimate of the amount of U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company mandated by the U.S. Tax Reform. The Company elected to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years commencing in 2018. The actual impact of the U.S. Tax Reform on the Company may differ from management’s estimates, and management may update its judgments based on future regulations or guidance issued or changes in the interpretations taken that would adjust the provisional amounts recorded. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had current income tax payable of $115,256 and $116,440 and noncurrent income tax payable of $1,088,194 and $1,088,194, respectively.

In addition, the 2017 Tax Act also creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”)) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder income. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of (1) 10 percent of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder’s pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income. The Company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the GILTI tax expense was nil. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no GILTI tax payable outstanding.

The Company’s subsidiary, JSJ, and VIE and its subsidiary, HDS and HYF, incorporated in the PRC, are subject to PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, Enterprise Income Taxes (“EIT”) is generally imposed at 25%. However, HDS has been named as a leading enterprise in the agricultural industry and awarded with a tax exemption through December 31, 2058 with an exception of sales of handicrafts, yew candle, pine needle extracts and yew essential oil soap which are not within the scope of agricultural area.

(b) Value Added Taxes (“VAT”)

The applicable VAT tax rate is 13% for agricultural products, 17% and 16% for handicrafts, yew candles complex taxus cuspidate extract, composite northeast yew extract and pine needle extracts sold in the PRC prior to and after May 1, 2018, respectively. In accordance with VAT regulations in the PRC, the Company is exempt from paying VAT on its yew raw materials and yew trees sales as an agricultural corps cultivating company up to December 31, 2019. The company’s sales of yew candles, handmade essence oil soaps, and pine needle extracts and export products are under VAT tax-exempt treaty and thus are eligible for return of VAT-IN. VAT payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at the applicable rate on the full price collected for the goods sold or taxable services provided and less any deductible VAT already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods in the same fiscal year.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the company, subject to anti-dilution limitations.

NOTE 12 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company managed and reviewed its business as two operating segments starting from year 2018. The business of HDS, JSJ and HYF in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of YBP, Yew Bio-Pharm (HK), and MC was managed and reviewed as USA segment. PRC and USA segments retain all of the reported consolidated amounts.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 1, 2020, the Company got a Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $70,920 approved from the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) through Bank of America (the “Lender”). The PPP loan is a loan program of U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) designated to provide a direct incentive for small business to keep their workers on the payroll due to the COVID-19 crisis. The interest rate on this Note is a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. The Company will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on that date that is two years after the date of this Note (“Maturity Date”). In addition, the Company will pay regular monthly payments in an amount equal to one month’s accrued interest commencing on that date that is seven months after the date of this Note, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred to and payable on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal.

According to SBA’s PPP description, the PPP loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). Loan payments will also be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees. Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease. The Company received the amount of $70,920 from Bank of America on May 4, 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and consolidated financial conditions as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document.

Overview

We are a major grower and seller of yew trees and manufacturer of products made from yew trees, we also sell branches and leaves of yew trees for the manufacture of TCM containing taxol, which TCM has been approved in the PRC for use as a secondary treatment of certain cancers, meaning it must be administered in combination with other pharmaceutical drugs. The yew industry is highly regulated in the PRC because the Northeast yew tree is considered an endangered species. In the third quarter of 2016, we started to sell handmade yew essence oil soaps and candles.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we operated in two reportable business segments. The business of HDS, JSJ and HYF in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of YBP, Yew Bio-Pharm (HK), and MC was managed and reviewed as USA segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, revenues from the PRC segment accounted for approximately 98.93% and 99.71%, respectively, of consolidated revenue; revenues from USA segment accounted for approximately 1.07% and 0.29% of consolidated revenue.

YBP’s revenues were mostly generated by HDS and in the PRC. The expenses incurred in the U.S. were primarily related to fulfilling the reporting requirements of public listed company, stock-based compensation, office daily operations and other costs. As of March 31, 2020, YBP had $100 in cash and held the 100% equity interests in its subsidiaries Yew HK and JSJ. Yew HK itself has no business operations or assets other than holding of equity interests in JSJ. JSJ has no business operations and assets with a book value of approximately $8,720, including approximately $6,500 in cash at March 31, 2020. JSJ also holds the VIE interests in HDS through the contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangements”) described in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. On November 4, 2014, HDS established a new subsidiary, Harbin Yew Food Co. LTD. (“HYF”), to develop and cultivate wood ear mushroom drink. As of March 31, 2020, HYF had started pilot production with limited amount of sales. In the event that we are unable to enforce the Contractual Agreements, we may not be able to exert effective control over HDS and HYF, and our ability to conduct our business may be materially and adversely affected. If the applicable PRC authorities invalidate our Contractual Agreements for any violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations, we would lose control of the VIE and its subsidiary resulting in its deconsolidation in financial reporting and severe loss in our market valuation. On June 8, 2016, YBP established a new subsidiary, MC Commerce Holding Inc. (MC), to sales the Company’s yew products in American market. MC had limited operation activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread globally, to include the United States and several European countries. Many countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus and have closed non-essential businesses. The pandemics could result in increased travel restrictions, market downturns and changes in the behaviour of the terminal customers of our products related to pandemic fears. In addition, our certain customers could decrease the demand on our products due to the outbreak of the COVID-19. To date, our business is impact by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in China, which resulted the decrease of our revenue during the first quarter of 2020. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments and reactions in China, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments to attempt to contain the coronavirus. Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, or reduction of purchase orders could further negatively impact our results of operations.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, allowance for obsolete inventory, and the classification of short and long-term inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and land use rights and yew forest assets, recovery of long-lived assets, write-down in value of inventory, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

24

Variable interest entities

Pursuant to ASC 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of VIEs. The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. HDS is considered a VIE, and we are the primary beneficiary. We entered into agreements with HDS pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of HDS’s net income. In accordance with these agreements, HDS shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, JSJ. JSJ shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the HDS.

The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As a VIE, HDS’ sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of HDS’ net income, and their assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, we did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS’ financial statements with our financial statements.

As required by ASC 810-10, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of HDS which is identified as a VIE of us. A quality assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The significant terms of the agreements between us and HDS are discussed above in the “Corporate Structure and Recapitalization - Second Restructure” section. Our assessment on the involvement with HDS reveals that we have the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of HDS. JSJ, our wholly own subsidiary, is obligated to absorb the risk of loss from HDS activities and is entitled to receive HDS’s expected residual returns. In addition, HDS’ shareholders have pledged their equity interest in HDS to JSJ, irrevocably granted JSJ an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC Law, all or part of the equity interests in HDS and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by JSJ. Under the accounting guidance, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the results of HDS’ operation are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes.

Accordingly, as a VIE, HDS’ sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our income from operations and our net income includes all of HDS’ net income. All the equity (net assets) and profits (losses) of HDS are attributed to us. Therefore, no non-controlling interest in HDS is presented in our consolidated financial statements. As we do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the Contractual Arrangements, YBP has a pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS’ financial statements with those of ours.

Additionally, pursuant to ASC 805, as YBP and HDS are under the common control of the HDS Shareholders, the Second Restructure was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. As a result, our historical amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give retrospective effect to the Second Restructure, whereby our assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical carrying values and their operations are presented as if they were consolidated for all periods presented, with our results of operations being consolidated from the date of the Second Transfer Agreement. The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. We review the accounts receivable balance on a periodic basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. We recognize the probability of the collection for each customer.

Inventories

Inventories consisted of raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods-handicrafts, yew seedlings, yew candles and other trees (consisting of larix, spruce and poplar trees). We classify our inventories based on our historical and anticipated levels of sales; any inventory in excess of its normal operating cycle of one year is classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value utilizing the weighted average method. Raw materials primarily include yew timber used in the production of products such as handicrafts, furniture and other products containing yew timber. Finished goods-handicraft and yew seedlings include direct materials and direct labor.

We estimate the amount of the excess inventories by comparing inventory on hand with the estimated sales that can be sold within our normal operating cycle of one year. Any inventory in excess of our current requirements based on historical and anticipated levels of sales is classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Our classification of long-term inventory requires us to estimate the portion of inventory that can be realized over the next 12 months.

25

To estimate the amount of slow-moving or obsolete inventories, we analyze movement of our products, monitor competing products and technologies and evaluate acceptance of our products. Periodically, we identify inventories that cannot be sold at all or can only be sold at deeply discounted prices. An allowance will be established if management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record reserves for the difference between the carrying cost and the estimated market value.

Our handicraft and yew furniture products are hand-made by traditional Chinese artisans.

In accordance with ASC 905, “Agriculture”, our costs of growing yew seedlings are accumulated until the time of harvest and are reported at the lower of cost or market.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Building	10 - 20 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 10 years
Office equipment	2 - 5 years
Motor vehicles	4 - 10 years

Land use rights and yew forest assets

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. We have recorded the amounts paid to the PRC government to acquire long-term interests to utilize land and yew forests as land use rights and yew forest assets. This type of arrangement is common for the use of land in the PRC. Yew trees on land containing yew tree forests are used to supply raw materials such as branches, leaves and fruit to us that will be used to manufacture our products. We amortize these land and yew forest use rights over the term of the respective land and yew forest use right, which ranges from 15 to 50 years. The lease agreements do not have any renewal option and we have no further obligations to the lessor. We record the amortization of these land and forest use rights as part of our cost of revenues.

Revenue recognition

We generate our revenue from sales of yew seedling products, sales of yew raw materials for medical application, sales of yew handicraft products, sales of “Others” including yew candles, yew essential oil soap, pine needle extract, complex taxus cuspidate extract, and composite northeast yew extract. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of the products sold. Transfer of control to the customer is based on the standardized shipping terms in the contract as this determines when we has the right to payment, the customer has legal title to the asset and the customer has the risks of ownership.

Income taxes

We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States. We account for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence; it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 We apply the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to our liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to our results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. Currently, we have no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Stock-based compensation

Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to nonemployees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505-50. Under FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as an expense as the goods or services are received.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new leasing guidance (“Topic 842”) that replaced the existing lease guidance (“Topic 840”). Topic 842 established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. This guidance also expanded the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases.

The Company adopted Topic 842 on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach; as such, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s previously reported results. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed the Company to carry forward its identification of contracts that are or contain leases, its historical lease classification and its accounting for initial direct costs for existing leases. The impact of adopting Topic 842 was not material to the Company’s result of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $350,000 upon adoption, with corresponding ROU assets on its balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

Currency exchange rates

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and VIE is the RMB. All of our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had total revenues of $2,029,182, as compared to $11,514,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $9,484,822 or 82.38%. The decrease in total revenue was attributable to the decrease in revenues in the TCM raw materials, handicrafts, and Extracts.

	Three Months Ended March 31,							Percentage
Total revenue is summarized as follows:	2020		2019		Increase			Change
TCM raw materials	$	2,007,393	$	4,163,435	$	(2,156,042	)		(51.79	)%

Others		21,789		73,768		(51,979	)		(70.46	)%
Total	$	2,029,182	$	11,514,004	$	(9,484,822	)		(82.38	)%

28

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to March 31, 2019, the decrease in revenue of TCM raw material was mainly attributable to the decrease in demand from our related parties, Yew Pharmaceutical, affected by the COVID-19. The decrease in revenue of handicrafts was mainly due to the decrease of market demand. The decrease in Extracts was mainly attributable to the decrease in demand of pine needle extract, complex taxus cuspidate extract, and composite northeast yew extract.

Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, cost of revenues amounted to $1,586,927 as compared to $10,355,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $8,768,548 or 84.68%. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, cost of revenues accounted for 78.21% of total revenues compared to 89.94% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019. 

Cost of revenues by product categories is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,									Percentage
	2020			2019			Increase			Change
TCM raw materials	$	1,695,884		$	3,017,435		$	(1,321,551	)		(43.80	)%
Handicrafts		-			(2,803	)		2,803			(100.00	)%
Extracts		-			7,273,814			(7,273,814	)		(100.00	)
Others		(108,957	)		67,029			(175,986	)		(262.55	)%
Total	$	1,586,927		$	10,355,475		$	(8,768,548	)		(84.68	)%

The decrease in our cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 was in line with the decrease in revenue.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, gross profit was $444,255 as compared to $1,158,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing gross profit margins of 21.79% and 10.86%, respectively. Gross profit margins by categories are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019			Increase
TCM raw materials		15.52	%		27.53	%		(12.01	)%
Handicrafts		-	%		222.14	%		(222.14	)%
Extracts		-	%		0.01	%		(0.01	)
Others		600.06	%		9.14	%		590.92	%
Total		21.79	%		10.06	%		11.73	%

The increase in our overall gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily due to no Extracts sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with 0.01% gross margin yielded for Extracts sales significantly pulled down the average gross profit margin during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

29

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, operating expenses amounted to $284,867, as compared to $613,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $328,388 or 53.55%. The decrease was mainly contributed by the decrease of bad debt expense incurred.

Income from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, income from operations was $157,388, as compared to income from operations of $545,274 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $387,866, or 71.14%. The decrease was primarily resulted from the decrease of gross profit after offset with the decrease of operating expenses.

Other Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, total other expenses were $5,976 as compared to total other expenses of $146,626 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily contributed by the decrease in currency exchange loss.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, our net income was $151,412 or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to net income of $377,042 or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported an unrealized loss on foreign currency translation of $816,044, as compared to a gain of $1,024,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change reflects the effect of the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the RMB. As described elsewhere herein, the functional currency of our subsidiary, JSJ, and our VIE, HDS, is the RMB. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for net revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains resulting from foreign exchange transactions, if any, are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Income 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, comprehensive loss of $664,632 was derived from the sum of our net income of $151,412 with foreign currency translation loss of $816,044. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, comprehensive income of $1,401,926 was derived from the sum of our net income of $377,042 with foreign currency translation gain of $1,024,884.

Segment Information

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, we operated in two reportable business segments. The business of HDS, JSJ and HYF in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of YBP, Yew Bio-Pharm (HK), and MC was managed and reviewed as USA segment.

30

Information with respect to these reportable business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

	For the three months March 31, 2020						For the three months March 31, 2019
	Revenues- third parties		Revenues - related party		Total		Revenues- third parties		Revenues - related party		Total

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the revenue from PRC segment was $2,007,393 and $11,480,671, respectively, decrease of $9,473,278 or 82.52% due to the decrease demand on Asia market. The decrease in PRC segment was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from related parties in the amount of $9,473,130.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the revenue from USA segment was $21,780 and $33,333, respectively, decrease of $11,544 or 34.63%. The decrease in USA segment was due to the decrease in revenue from third parties in the amount of $11,544 attributable to our China customers increased oversea demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash balances of $377,649 and $742,294, respectively. These funds are primarily located in various financial institutions located in China. Our primary uses of cash have been for the purchase of yew trees, land use rights and yew forest assets. Additionally, we use cash for employee compensation and working capital.

Working capital	$	1,802,431	$	1,190,053	$	612,378			51.46	%

Our working capital increased by $612,378 to $1,802,431 at March 31, 2020, from working capital of $1,190,053 at December 31, 2019. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to:

● an increase in accounts receivable - related parties of $520,042

● a decrease in payable for acquisition of yew forests of $359,541

● a decrease in short-term borrowings of $400,166

partially offset by:

● a decrease in cash of $364,645

● a decrease in accounts receivable of $257,014

● an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $111,355

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,422,047, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,768,644 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $346,597. Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the balance sheet and the statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the balance sheets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,422,047 was primarily attributable to:

● net income of approximately $151,000 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items, such as inventory reserves of approximately $70,000, amortization of land use rights and yew forest assets of approximately $613,000, and sale of yew forest assets as inventory of approximately 950,000; and

● changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as an increase in accounts receivable-related parties of approximately $535,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately 128,000, and an increase prepaid expenses and other current assets of $106,000.

32

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,768,644 was primarily attributable to:

● net income of approximately $377,000 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items, such as depreciation of approximately $15,000 bad debt expense of $318,000 and amortization of land use rights and yew forest assets of $2,660,000; and

● changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as an increase in accounts receivable-related parties of approximately $3,904,000, an increase in accrued expenses and other payables of approximately $117,000, and an increase in advance from customers-related party of approximately $2,338,000.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $1,420,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have made prepayment in purchase of yew forest assets of approximately $592,000 to third parties and approximately $400,000 to related parties. We also have made payment in approximately $351,000 for purchase of land use right and yew forest assets. Net cash flow used in investing activities was $1,699,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we have made prepayment in purchase of yew forest assets of approximately $1,670,000.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was approximately $284,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to repayment of short-term borrowings of approximately $1,486,000, and partially offset by proceeds of approximately $1,201,000 from short-term borrowings. Net cash flow used in financing activities was approximately $310,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to repayment of short-term borrowings of approximately $1,600,000, and partially offset by proceeds of approximately $1,290,000 from short-term borrowings.

We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, bank loans and advances from related parties. From March 2008 to September 2009, we received approximately $2.9 million of proceeds in the aggregate from offerings and sales of our common stock. Except for the portion used to pay for professional and other expenses in the U.S., substantial portions of the proceeds we received through sales of our common stock were retained in the PRC and used to fund our working capital requirements. As the PRC government imposes controls on PRC companies’ ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currency out of China, from time to time, in order to fund our corporate activities in the U.S., Zhiguo Wang, our President and CEO, advanced funds to us in the U.S. and we repaid the amounts owed to him in RMB in the PRC.

It is management’s intention to expand our operations as quickly as reasonably practicable to capitalize on the demand opportunity for our products. We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and any potential available bank borrowings. We believe that we can continue meeting our cash funding requirements for our business in this manner over at least the next twelve months. The majority of our funds are maintained in RMB in bank accounts in China. We receive most of our revenue in the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) or its local counterparts is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also, at its discretion, restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $44.2 million and $44.6 million, respectively, of our net assets are located in the PRC. If the foreign exchange control system in the PRC prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to transfer funds deposited within the PRC to fund working capital requirements in the U.S. or pay any dividends in currencies other than the RMB, to our shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

Substantially all of our operating revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. We operate using RMB and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses in the PRC are also denominated in the same currency. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments. Because we generally receive cash flows denominated in RMB, our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited.

Our assets and liabilities, of which the functional currency is the RMB, are translated into USD using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected as cumulative translation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity section on our consolidated balance sheets. A portion of our net assets are impacted by changes in foreign currencies translation rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $816,044 and of a gain of $1,024,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, to reflect the impact of the fluctuation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China.

To the extent that we decide to convert RMB denominated cash amounts into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making any dividend payments, which we have not declared but may declare in the future, or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. Conversely, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount it received from the conversion. We have not used, and do not currently expect to use in the future, any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We have not been, nor do we currently anticipate being, exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The accompanying unaudited interim 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 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Yew Bio-Pharm Group, Inc. (individually "YBP" and collectively with its subsidiaries and operating variable interest entity, the "Company"). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been presented.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Certain amounts from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's financial position or results of operations presented.

Details of the Company's subsidiaries, variable interest entity ("VIE") and VIE's subsidiary are as follows:

Name	Domicile and Date of Incorporation	Registered Capital		Effective Ownership			Principal Activities

Principles of Consolidation [Abstract]

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of YBP, its subsidiaries and operating VIE and its subsidiaries in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Pursuant to a restructuring plan intended to ensure compliance with applicable PRC laws and regulations (the "Second Restructure"), on November 5, 2010, JSJ entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the "Contractual Arrangements") with HDS and/or Zhiguo Wang, his wife Guifang Qi and Xingming Han (collectively with Mr. Wang and Madame Qi, the "HDS Shareholders"), as described below:

● Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement between JSJ and HDS (the "Business Cooperation Agreement"), JSJ has the exclusive right to provide to HDS general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to technology, research and development, human resources, marketing and other services deemed necessary (collectively, the "Services"). Under the Business Cooperation Agreement, JSJ has exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of the Business Cooperation Agreement, including but not limited to copyrights, patents, patent applications, software and trade secrets. HDS shall pay to JSJ a monthly consulting service fee (the "Service Fee") in RMB that is equal to 100% of the monthly net income of HDS. Upon the prior written consent by JSJ, the rate of Service Fee may be adjusted pursuant to the operational needs of HDS. Within 30 days after the end of each month, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ the management accounts and operating statistics of HDS for such month, including the net income of HDS during such month (the "Monthly Net Income"), and (b) pay 80% of such Monthly Net Income to JSJ (each such payment, a "Monthly Payment"). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, HDS shall (a) deliver to JSJ financial statements of HDS for such fiscal year, which shall be audited and certified by an independent certified public accountant approved by JSJ, and (b) pay an amount to JSJ equal to the shortfall, if any, of the aggregate net income of HDS for such fiscal year, as shown in such audited financial statements, as compared to the aggregate amount of the Monthly Payments paid by HDS to JSJ in such fiscal year. HDS also granted an irrevocable and exclusive option to JSJ to purchase any and all of the assets of HDS, to the extent permitted under PRC law, at the lowest price permitted by PRC law. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Cooperation Agreement or other agreements separately executed between JSJ and HDS, the Business Cooperation Agreement is for a term of ten years and expires on November 5, 2020; however, the term of the Business Cooperation Agreement may be extended if confirmed in writing by JSJ prior to the expiration of the term thereof. The period of the extended term shall be determined exclusively by JSJ and HDS shall accept such extended term unconditionally. Unless JSJ commits gross negligence, or a fraudulent act, against HDS, HDS shall not terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of the term, including any extended term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JSJ shall have the right to terminate the Business Cooperation Agreement at any time upon giving 30 days' prior written notice to HDS.

● Exclusive Option Agreement. Under an Exclusive Option Agreement among JSJ, HDS and each HDS Shareholder (individually, an "Option Agreement"), the terms of which are substantively identical to each other, each HDS Shareholder has granted JSJ or its designee the irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or any part of the HDS Shareholder's equity interests in HDS (the "Equity Interest Purchase Option") for RMB10. If an appraisal is required by PRC laws at the time when and if JSJ exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and, based upon the appraisal, make a necessary adjustment to the purchase price so that it complies with any and all then applicable PRC laws. Without the consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of their respective shares of HDS stock. Additionally, without the prior consent of JSJ, the HDS Shareholders shall not in any manner supplement, change or amend the articles of association and bylaws of HDS, increase or decrease its registered capital, change the structure of its registered capital in any other manner, or engage in any transactions that could materially affect HDS' assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, the incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness except incurred in the ordinary course of business, execute any major contract over RMB500,000, sell or purchase any assets or rights, incur of any encumbrance on any of its assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to its business operation to any third party. The term of each Option Agreement is ten years commencing on November 5, 2020 and may be extended at the sole election of JSJ.

● Equity Interest Pledge Agreement. In order to guarantee HDS's performance of its obligations under the Business Cooperation Agreement, each HDS Shareholder, JSJ and HDS entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement (individually, a "Pledge Agreement"), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, each HDS Shareholder pledged all of his or her equity interest in HDS to JSJ. If HDS or the HDS Shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations and such breach is not remedied to the satisfaction of JSJ within 20 days after the giving of notice of breach, JSJ, as pledgee, will be entitled to exercise certain rights, including the right to foreclose upon and sell the pledged equity interests. During the term of the Pledge Agreement, the HDS Shareholder shall not transfer his or her equity interest in HDS or place or otherwise permit any other security interest of other encumbrance to be placed on such equity interest. Upon the full payment of the Service Fee under the Business Cooperation Agreement and upon the termination of HDS's obligations thereunder, the Pledge Agreement shall be terminated.

● Power of Attorney. Under the Power of Attorney executed by each HDS Shareholder (each, a "Power of Attorney"), the terms of which are substantially similar to each other, JSJ has been granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the HDS Shareholders, to act on behalf of the HDS Shareholder as his or her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all matters concerning the HDS Shareholder's equity interests in HDS, including without limitation, the right to: 1) attend shareholders' meetings of HDS; 2) exercise all the HDS Shareholders' rights, including voting rights under PRC laws and HDS's Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the HDS Shareholder's equity interests in HDS in whole or in part; and 3) designate and appoint on behalf of the HDS Shareholders the legal representative, executive director, supervisor, manager and other senior management of HDS.

To the extent that the Contractual Arrangements are enforceable under PRC law, as from time to time interpreted by relevant state agencies, they constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of the parties to each such agreement.

The Company believes that HDS is considered a VIE under ASC 810 "Consolidation", because the equity investors in HDS no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through JSJ, is the primary beneficiary of HDS and controls HDS's operations. Accordingly, HDS has been consolidated as a deemed subsidiary into YBP as a reporting company under ASC 810. 

YBP has no direct or indirect legal or equity ownership interest in HDS. However, through the Contractual Arrangements, the stockholders of HDS have assigned all their rights as stockholders, including voting rights and disposition rights of their equity interests in HDS to JSJ, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. YBP is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the financial statements of HDS are consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities in the Company's balance sheets that relate to the Company's variable interest in the VIE and VIE's subsidiary are as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new leasing guidance ("Topic 842") that replaced the existing lease guidance ("Topic 840"). Topic 842 established a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. This guidance also expanded the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases.

The Company adopted Topic 842 on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach; as such, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the adoption had no impact on the Company's previously reported results. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed the Company to carry forward its identification of contracts that are or contain leases, its historical lease classification and its accounting for initial direct costs for existing leases. The impact of adopting Topic 842 was not material to the Company's result of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $350,000 upon adoption, with corresponding ROU assets on its balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses". The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue [Abstract]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION 

The Company accounts for revenue arising from contracts and customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") , which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the Company's previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price, which is allocated to the respective performance obligation, when the performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the contracts. 

In general, the Company's products within its segments are aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its products and provide meaningful disaggregation of each business segment's results of operations. Disaggregation of revenue by business segment are included in Note 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION.

NOTE 5 - TAXES 

(a) Federal Income Tax and Enterprise Income Taxes 

The table below summarizes the difference between the U.S. statutory federal tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company recognized provisional tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and corresponding valuation allowances in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, the Company recognized a one-time transition tax of $1,431,835 during 2018 that represented management's estimate of the amount of U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company's share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company mandated by the U.S. Tax Reform. The Company elected to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years commencing in 2018. The actual impact of the U.S. Tax Reform on the Company may differ from management's estimates, and management may update its judgments based on future regulations or guidance issued or changes in the interpretations taken that would adjust the provisional amounts recorded. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had current income tax payable of $115,256 and $116,440 and noncurrent income tax payable of $1,088,194 and $1,088,194, respectively.

In addition, the 2017 Tax Act also creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI")) earned by controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs") must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs' U.S. shareholder income. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder's net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of (1) 10 percent of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder's pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income. The Company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the GILTI tax expense was nil. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no GILTI tax payable outstanding.

The Company's subsidiary, JSJ, and VIE and its subsidiary, HDS and HYF, incorporated in the PRC, are subject to PRC's Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, Enterprise Income Taxes ("EIT") is generally imposed at 25%. However, HDS has been named as a leading enterprise in the agricultural industry and awarded with a tax exemption through December 31, 2058 with an exception of sales of handicrafts, yew candle, pine needle extracts and yew essential oil soap which are not within the scope of agricultural area.

(b) Value Added Taxes ("VAT")

The applicable VAT tax rate is 13% for agricultural products, 17% and 16% for handicrafts, yew candles complex taxus cuspidate extract, composite northeast yew extract and pine needle extracts sold in the PRC prior to and after May 1, 2018, respectively. In accordance with VAT regulations in the PRC, the Company is exempt from paying VAT on its yew raw materials and yew trees sales as an agricultural corps cultivating company up to December 31, 2019. The company's sales of yew candles, handmade essence oil soaps, and pine needle extracts and export products are under VAT tax-exempt treaty and thus are eligible for return of VAT-IN. VAT payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at the applicable rate on the full price collected for the goods sold or taxable services provided and less any deductible VAT already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods in the same fiscal year.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the provisions of ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share", basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the company, subject to anti-dilution limitations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Leases

Note 9 - Leases

The Company leases office spaces from third parties and related parties.

Leases is classified as operating at inception of the lease. Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 1, 2020, the Company got a Promissory Note (the "Note") in the amount of $70,920 approved from the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP Loan") through Bank of America (the "Lender"). The PPP loan is a loan program of U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") designated to provide a direct incentive for small business to keep their workers on the payroll due to the COVID-19 crisis. The interest rate on this Note is a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. The Company will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on that date that is two years after the date of this Note ("Maturity Date"). In addition, the Company will pay regular monthly payments in an amount equal to one month's accrued interest commencing on that date that is seven months after the date of this Note, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred to and payable on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal.

According to SBA's PPP description, the PPP loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). Loan payments will also be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees. Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease. The Company received the amount of $70,920 from Bank of America on May 4, 2020.
