Fourth Quarter FY2010 Results

Total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $16.2 million, an increase of 54.5% from $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net sales of Jinong, which is the division that sells humic acid based compound fertilizers, accounted for 94.2% of total net sales. Jinong’s net sales increased 61.4%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Sales volume increased 119.5% to 9,315 tons for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 4,243 tons for the three months ended June 30, 2009. These increases were mainly attributable to the increased production due to greater capacity from the Company’s new production line and to increased sales of powder and granular based fertilizer products. Jintai’s net sales, which include sales of agricultural products such as top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings, decreased 9.2%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.0 million for the same period in 2009.

Cost of sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 72.7% to approximately $7.1 million compared to approximately $4.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was approximately 43.7% for the fourth quarter of 2010 and 39.1% for the same period of 2009.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 totaled $9.1 million, an increase of 42.8% from $6.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2009. Gross profit margin was 56.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, down from 60.9% a year ago. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to significantly higher growth in lower margin fertilizer products such as granular fertilizers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were approximately $2.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of 71.8%.  The increase is a result from higher shipping costs and marketing expenses due to the Company’s recently introduced granular based fertilizer products and implementation of its new “Authorized distributors/retailers” branding strategy. Total operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009 were 12.6% and 11.3%, respectively.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $7.1 million, up 36.2% from $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Operating margin was 43.7%, compared to 49.5% in the same quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $6.0 million, up 35.5% compared with net income of $4.4 million during the same period in fiscal year 2009. For the three month period ended June 30, 2010 basic and diluted net income per share was $0.25 as compared to $0.24 for the same period in 2009, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 24.6 million and 18.6 million, respectively. Net income margin approximated 37.0% and 42.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Total net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were $52.1 million, an increase of 48.0%, from $35.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Jinong’s net sales, driven mainly by the sales of humic acid-based compound fertilizers, accounted for 88.0% of total net sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Jinong’s net sales increased 58.6%, to $45.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, from $28.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Sales volume increased 51.8% to 22,835 metric tons for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 from 15,042 metric tons for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This increase was mainly attributable to the commencement of the Company’s new production line in August 2009 and the sale of more high-end products, including the Company’s recently introduced powdered and granular fertilizer products. Jintai’s net sales totaled $6.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2009, almost flat year-to-year mainly because the greenhouses in Jintai have reached their full capacity.

Gross profit increased 51.0% to $31.0 million in the fiscal year 2010, versus $20.5 million in the same period a year ago. Gross margin was 59.4% and 58.2% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Operating income for the first fiscal year of fiscal year 2010 rose 45.9% to $24.9 million compared to $17.1 million for the fiscal year 2009.

Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was $21.3 million, an increase of 47.2%, from $14.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, basic and diluted net income per share was $0.91 as compared to $0.78 for the same period in 2009, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 23.5 million and 18.5 million, respectively. The increase was mainly a result of increased net sales by Jinong. Net margin approximated 40.9% and 41.1% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $62.3 million, an increase of $44.5 million from June 30, 2009, primarily due to the net proceeds from public offerings in 2009. The Company had no short-term loans or long-term debt as of June 30, 2010. Net accounts receivable stood at $15.6 million as of June 30, 2010 with trailing twelve-month days sales outstanding ("DSO") of 82 compared to DSO of 78 three months ago. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company had $12.2 million in cash flow from operating activities, while capital expenditures amounted to approximately $16.5 million primarily due to the purchase of land use rights for the expansion of the Company’s new greenhouse facility.

Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, management expects revenues of $150.5 million to $152.8 million, net income to $36.2 million to $36.8 million, and EPS to $1.35 to $1.37 based on 26.8 million weighted average shares. For the first quarter ending September 30, 2010, management expects revenues of $38.2 million to $38.6 million, net income to $7.7 million to $8.0 million, and EPS to $0.29 to $0.30 based on 26.8 million weighted average shares. This guidance reflects the anticipated strong sales resulting from the Company’s increased production capacity from 55k metric tons to 355k metric tons.

"Fiscal year 2010 has been a monumental year for our Company which resulted in exceeding our revenue and net income guidance," stated Mr. Tao Li, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of China Green Agriculture. "We successfully implemented several growth initiatives resulting in the increase of our production capacity and geographic footprint, expanding our product line, and instilling brand awareness. At the end of June, we completed Phase I construction of our new research and development center, which consisted of one hundred sun-light greenhouses. We also launched 23 new liquid-based fertilizer products and added 43new distributors during the fiscal year 2010. To date, we have opened 15 directly-owned retail stores and selected 608 stores as "China Green Agriculture Authorized Retailer" of our Jinong branded HA compound fertilizer products. In July, we closed on the acquisition of Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co., Ltd., which expanded our annual fertilizer production capacity from 55,000 metric tons to 355,000 metric tons. The facility extends our distribution network and broadens our product mix to meet the growing demand for both traditional and organic fertilizers in China, and is expected to contribute at least $10.6 million in net income in fiscal year 2011. With our strong working capital position, growing product offering and expanding R&D capabilities, we feel we are well positioned to gain market share and build on being one of the leading fertilizer producers in China.”
