NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China YCT, Landway Nano and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Spring. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include: the valuation of inventory, the estimated useful lives and impairment of property, equipment, and intangible assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

Inventory is primarily composed of raw materials and packing materials for manufacturing, work in process, and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Buildings	30-35 years

Machinery, equipment and automobiles	7-15 years

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Intangible Assets

(i)

Land Use Rights:

All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government may grant a “land use right” for occupying, developing and using land. The Company records land use rights obtained as intangible assets at cost, which is amortized evenly over the grant period of 50 years.

(ii)

Patents:

In March 2010, the Company purchased one patent from Shandong YCT Corp. The patent is the Company’s exclusive right to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in the gingko product manufacturing process for a period of 20 years from the patent application date. The patent was recorded at cost when purchased, and is being amortized over the shorter of its remaining legal life, 16.5 years, or its useful life, on a straight-line basis.

On February 28, 2011, the Company acquired U.S. patent No. 6,475,531 B1 titled “Safe Botanical Drug for Treatment and Prevention of Influenza and Increasing Immune Function” through a purchase agreement with L.Y. Research Corp., a New Jersey Corporation.

According to the purchase agreement between the Company and L.Y. Hong Kong Biotech Limited (LYHK), CYIG acquires the patent as consideration for issuing 44,254,952shares of CYIG common stock. The total value of the consideration on the acquisition date is $32,748,655 which is calculated by multiplying the issuing shares, by CYIG’s quoted stock price of $0.74 per share on the date of February 28, 2011. Therefore, the Company’s book value was $32,748,655.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, included in the Codification as ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . Sales revenue is recognized on the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

Unearned revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods or services is recognized at the time that goods are delivered or services are rendered. Receipts in advance for goods to be delivered or services to be rendered in a subsequent period are carried forward as unearned revenue.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured based on the fair value of the asset, is recognized if expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Value-added tax

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a Value-Added Tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

The Company recorded net VAT payable in the amount of $489,962 and $194,715 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Research and development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company’s development of its intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The research and development expense for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $280,385 and $322,270, respectively.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs for newspaper and television are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $170 and $973,580 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Mailing and handling costs

The Company accounts for mailing and handling fees in accordance with the FASB ASC 605-45 ( Emerging Issues Task Force ( EITF ) Issue No . 00-10 , Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs ). The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net revenues. Amounts incurred by the Company for freight are included in cost of goods sold. For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $1,342,183 and $1,425,597 mailing and handling costs, respectively.

Net income (loss) per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (convertible preferred stock, forward contracts, warrants to purchase common stock, contingently issuable shares, common stock options and warrants and their equivalents using the treasury stock method) were exercised or converted into common stock. There are 31,610,679 and nil common stock equivalents available for dilution purposes as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Risks and uncertainties

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, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company did not identify any financial instruments that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value other than those whose carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Foreign currency translation

The accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiary are maintained in RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiary were translated into USD in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters,” with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiary. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of income items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process amounted to $2,041,293 and $1,152,764 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The following exchange rates were adopted to translate the amounts from RMB into United States dollars (“USD$”) for the respective periods:

	March 31, 2011		March 31, 2010
Year End RMB Exchange Rate (RMB/USD$)		6.5564		6.8263
Average Period RMB Exchange Rate (RMB/USD$)		6.7111		6.8290

Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2010, FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP also amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted this pronouncement. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, FASB issued authoritative guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance amends previous guidance on fair value measurements to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurement on a gross basis rather than on a net basis as currently required. This guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activities of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Early application is permitted and, in the period of initial adoption, entities are not required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
