NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

China Green Agriculture, Inc. (the “Company”, “Parent Company” or “Green Nevada”), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the research, development, production, distribution and sale of humic acid-based compound fertilizer, compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizers, highly-concentrated water-soluble fertilizers and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer and the development, production and distribution of agricultural products.

On June 30, 2016 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Jinong, entered into strategic acquisition agreements and a series of contractual agreements with the shareholders of the following six companies that are organized under the laws of the PRC and would be deemed VIEs: Shaanxi Lishijie Agrochemical Co., Ltd. (“Lishijie”), SongyuanJinyangguangSannong Service Co., Ltd. (“Jinyangguang”), Shenqiu County Zhenbai Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“Zhenbai”), Weinan City Linwei District Wangtian Agricultural Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wangtian”), AksuXindeguo Agricultural Materials Co., Ltd. (“Xindeguo”), and Xinjiang Xinyulei Eco-agriculture Science and Technology co., Ltd. (“Xinyulei”). On January 1, 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Jinong, entered into strategic acquisition agreements and a series of contractual agreements with the shareholders of the following two companies that are organized under the laws of the PRC and would be deemed VIEs Sunwu County Xiangrong Agricultural Materials Co., Ltd. (“Xiangrong”), and Anhui Fengnong Seed Co., Ltd. (“Fengnong”). Please refer to Subsequent event in Note 17.

Yuxing, Lishijie, Jinyangguang, Zhenbai, Wangtian, Xindeguo, Xinyulei, Xiangrong and Fengnong may also collectively be referred to as the “the VIE Companies”

The Company’s current corporate structure as of is set forth in the diagram below:

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principle of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Green New Jersey, Jinong, Gufeng, Tianjuyuan, Yuxing and the VIE Companies. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

VIE assessment

A VIE is an entity (1) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. In order to determine if an entity is considered a VIE, the Company first perform a qualitative analysis, which requires certain subjective decisions regarding its assessments, including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties, and the purpose of the arrangement. If the Company cannot conclude after a qualitative analysis whether an entity is a VIE, it performs a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis considered the design of the entity, the risks that cause variability, the purpose for which the entity was created, and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along to its variable interest holders. When the primary beneficiary could not be identified through a qualitative analysis, we used internal cash flow models to compute and allocate expected losses or expected residual returns to each variable interest holder based upon the relative contractual rights and preferences of each interest holder in the VIE’s capital structure.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of cash

For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with state owned banks in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) and banks in the United States, and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of six months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains large sums of cash in three major banks in China. The aggregate cash in such accounts and on hand as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 were $116,574,852 and $102,896,486, respectively. In addition, the Company also had $20,538 and $167,495 in cash in two banks in the United States as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Cash overdraft as of balance sheet date will be reflected as liabilities in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Accounts receivable

The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves at each year-end. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had accounts receivable of $125,035,022 and $117,055,376, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,343,762 and $397,123, respectively. The Company adopts no policy to accept product returns post to the sales delivery.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials. The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary.

Deferred asset

Deferred assets represent amounts that the distributors owed to the Company in their marketing efforts and developing standard stores to expand the Company’s products’ competitiveness and market shares. The amount owed to the Company to assist its distributors will be expensed over three years which is the term as stated in the cooperation agreement, as long as the distributors are actively selling the Company’s products. For the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company amortized $9,584,220 and $21,430,699, respectively, of the deferred assets. If a distributor breaches, defaults, or terminates the agreement with the Company within the three-year period, the outstanding unamortized portion of the amount owed will become payable to the Company immediately. The Company’s Chairman, Mr. Li, guaranteed to the Company of amounts remaining unpaid due from distributors.

The deferred assets consist of items inside the distributors’ stores such as furniture, racks, cabinets, and display units, and items outside or attached to the distributors’ stores such as signage and billboards. These types of assets would be capitalized as fixed assets if the Company actually owned the stores or utilized the assets for its own operations. These assets would also be capitalized as leasehold improvements if the Company leased these stores from the distributors. Therefore, the Company believes that under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these types of assets purchases are properly capitalized. In addition, the Company believes that these assets are properly classified as deferred assets because if a distributor breaches, defaults, or terminates the agreement with the Company within a three-year period, a proportionate amount expended by the Company is to be repaid by the distributor. The Chairman of the Board of directors of the Company guaranteed to the Company of amounts remaining unpaid due from distributors.

The assets inside the distributors’ stores are custom made to fit the layout of each individual store and the signage and billboards are also custom designed to fit the specific location. The assets were purchased by the Company directly from the manufacturers and installed in the distributors’ stores. The Company wants to maintain control over the quality of the items being purchased as well as making them uniform among all the distributor locations.

Intangible Assets

The Company records intangible assets acquired individually or as part of a group at fair value. Intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over the useful life of the intangible asset, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the entity’s future cash flows. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Customer deposits

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits. When all revenue recognition criteria are met, the customer deposits are recognized as revenue. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had customer deposits of $5,413,319 and $8,578,341, respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share consist of the following:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

Net Income for Basic Earnings Per Share	$	5,506,011	$	4,267,535

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting, to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this newly issued guidance to its consolidated financial statements.

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. It is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company maintains restricted cash balances and upon adoption of this standard, the Company will show restricted cash as part of cash and restricted cash equivalents.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption to have any significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will apply this guidance to applicable impairment tests after the adoption date.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In connection with the acquisition of the VIE Companies, the Company subsidiary, Jinong, issued to the VIE Companies shareholders convertible notes payable in the aggregate amount of RMB 51,000,000 ($7,344,000) with a term of three years and an annual interest rate of 3%. The convertible notes take priority over the preferred stock and common stock of Jinong, and any other class or series of capital stocks Jinong issues in the future in terms of interests and payments in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Jinong. On or after the third anniversary of the issuance date of the note, noteholders may request Jinong to process the note conversion to convert the note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes cannot be converted prior to the mature date. The per share conversion price of the notes is the higher of the following: (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) 75% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the noteholder delivers the conversion notice.

The Company determined that the fair value of the convertible notes payable was RMB 45,379,032 ($6,534,263) and RMB 44,330,692 ($6,383,620) as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, which was due to the lower than market interest rate and the conversion feature.

As of December 31, 2016, the amortization of this discount into interest expenses was $1,048,340.

NOTE 10 - TAXES PAYABLE

Enterprise Income Tax

Effective January 1, 2008, the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law of the PRC replaced the tax laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate that was applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The two year tax exemption and three year 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs was eliminated. Since January 1, 2008, Jinong became subject to income tax in China at a rate of 15% as a high-tech company, as a result of the expiration of its tax exemption on December 31, 2007. Accordingly, it made provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $1,879,465 and $1,805,667, respectively, which is mainly due to the operating income from Jinong. Gufeng is subject to 25% EIT rate and thus it made provision for income taxes of $792,503 and $1,256,325 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Value-Added Tax

All of the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC were subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 13% of the gross sales price. On April 29, 2008, the PRC State of Administration of Taxation (SAT) released Notice #56, “Exemption of VAT for Organic Fertilizer Products”, which allows certain fertilizer products to be exempt from VAT beginning June 1, 2008. The Company submitted the application for exemption in May 2009, which was granted effective September 1, 2009, continuing through December 31, 2015. On August 10, 2015 and August 28, 2015, the SAT released Notice #90. “Reinstatement of VAT for Fertilizer Products”, and Notice #97, “Supplementary Reinstatement of VAT for Fertilizer Products”, which restore the VAT of 13% of the gross sales price on certain fertilizer products includes non organic fertilizer products starting from September 1, 2015, but granted tax payers a reduced rate of 3% from September 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

NOTE 16 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which a company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

Green Nevada through one of its subsidiaries, Jinong, entered into a series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Yuxing for it to qualify as a VIE, effective June 16, 2013.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Yuxing is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jinong, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of Yuxing, thereby enabling the Company, through Jinong, to receive a majority of Yuxing expected residual returns.

Jinong, the VIE Companies, and the shareholders of the VIE Companies also entered into a series of contractual agreements for the VIE Companies to qualify as VIEs (the “VIE Agreements”).

As a result of these contractual arrangements, with Yuxing and the VIE Companies the Company is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits of Yuxing and the VIE Companies. The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016:

The selling expenses of Yuxing were $18,975 or 0.5% of Yuxing’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $143,171, or 4.3% of Yuxing’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The selling expenses of Gufeng were $213,408 or 0.6% of Gufeng’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $263,657, or 0.6% of Gufeng’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The selling expenses of Jinong for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $8,142,911 or 14.0% of Jinong’s net sales, as compared to selling expenses of $7,222,030, or 10.9% of Jinong’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in Jinong’s selling expenses was due to Jinong’s expanded marketing efforts and the increase in shipping costs.

Selling Expenses – amortization of deferred assets

Our selling expenses - amortization of our deferred assets were $9,584,220, or 7.9%, of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $18,377,467 or 16.5% of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $8,793,247, or 47.8%. This decrease was due to the fact that some of the deferred assets were fully amortized and therefore no amortization was recorded on the fully amortized assets during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of related salaries, rental expenses, business development, depreciation and travel expenses incurred by our general and administrative departments and legal and professional expenses including expenses incurred and accrued for certain litigations. General and administrative expenses were $7,865,392, or 6.5% of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $5,659,624, or 5.1%, of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2,205,768, or 39.0%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to VIEs, which had $734,137 general and administrative expenses during the last three months.

Total Other Expenses

Total other expenses consisted of income from subsidies received from the PRC government, interest income, interest expenses and bank charges. The total other expense for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $233,847, as compared to $582,581 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $348,734, or 59.9%. The decrease in total other expense was partly resulted from interest expense decreased by $499,888 or 68.3%, to $231,791 during the six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $731,679 during the six months ended December 31, 2015, due to a lesser amount of short-term loans.

Income Taxes

Jinong is subject to a preferred tax rate of 15% as a result of its business being classified as a High-Tech project under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT”) that became effective on January 1, 2008. Jinong incurred income tax expenses of $1,879,465 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $1,805,667 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $73,798, or 4.1%.

Gufeng, subject to a tax rate of 25%, incurred income tax expenses of $792,503 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $1,256,325 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $463,822, or 36.9%.

Yuxing has no income tax for the six months ended December 31, 2016 as a result of being exempted from paying income tax due to its products fall into the tax exemption list set out in the EIT.

Net Income

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $12,857,591, an increase of $1,344,384, or 11.7%, compared to $11,513,207 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. Net income as a percentage of total net sales was approximately 10.7% and 10.4 % for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Discussion of Segment Profitability Measures

As of December 31, 2016, we were engaged in the following businesses: i) the production and sale of fertilizers through Jinong and Gufeng, ii) the production and sale of high-quality agricultural products by Yuxing, and iii) the distribution of agricultural products through the VIE Companies For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into four main business segments based on locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production), Yuxing (agricultural products production) and VIE Companies (agricultural products distribution). Each of the segments has its own annual budget with regard to development, production and sales.

Each of the four operating segments referenced above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes decisions with respect to resources allocation and performance assessment upon receiving financial information, including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income produced from the various general ledger systems; however, net income by segment is the principal benchmark to measure profit or loss adopted by the CODM.

For Jinong, the net income increased by $195,406 or 2.0% to $10,195,772 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 from $10,000,366 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

For Gufeng, the net income decreased by $1,685,340 or 45.9% to $1,984,925 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 from $3,670,265 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

For Yuxing, the net income increased by $431,526 or 46.9% to $487,859 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 from $919,385 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

For the VIE Companies, as we did not have such business segment during the six months ended December 31, 2015, the net income increased by $2,045,574 or 100% during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations, borrowings from local commercial banks and net proceeds of offerings of our securities consummated in July 2009 and November/December 2009 (collectively the “Public Offerings”).

As of December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $116,574,852, an increase of 13,678,366, or 13.3%, from $102,896,486 as of June 30, 2016.

We intend to use our working capital to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete Yuxing’s new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products located on 88 acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an city. Our liquidity needs have generally consisted of working capital necessary to finance receivables, raw material and finished goods inventory. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to support our business growth for the next twelve months to the extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or expansions. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing as necessary for expansion purposes and when we believe market conditions are most advantageous, which may include additional debt and/or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended December 31,
	2016			2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	18,178,990		$	15,686,820
Net cash used in investing activities		(74,353	)		(15,665	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		300,000			(3,276,000	)
Effect of exchange rate change on cash and cash equivalents		(4,726,271	)		(5,810,344	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		13,678,366			6,584,811
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning balance		102,896,486			92,982,564
Cash and cash equivalents, ending balance	$	116,574,852		$	99,567,375

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18,178,990 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $2,492,170, or 15.9%, compared to $15,686,820 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was mainly attributable to the decrease in net income, account receivable and customer deposit, offset by an increase in inventories and advance to suppliers during the six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $74,353, an increase of $58,688, or 374.6% from $15,665 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, we purchased more plants, property and equipments compared to the same period last year.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $300,000, compared to cash used in financing activities of $3,276,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which was largely due to we had nil proceeds and repayment of loans for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, our loans payable were as follows:

	December 31, 2016		June 30, 2016
Short term loans payable:	$	4,463,783	$	4,665,500
Total	$	4,463,783	$	4,665,500

Accounts Receivable

We had accounts receivable of $125,035,022 as of December 31, 2016, as compared to $117,055,376 as of June 30, 2016, an increase of $7,979,646 or 6.8%, which was mainly attributable to Gufeng. As of December 31, 2016, Gufeng had account receivable of $64,297,179, an increase of $16,951,117, comparing to $47,346,062 as of June 30, 2016.

Allowance for doubtful accounts in account receivable for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $4,343,762, from $397,123 as of June 30, 2016. And the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable was 3.0% as of December 31, 2016 and 0.3% as of June 30, 2016.

Deferred assets

We had deferred assets of $3,536,984 as of December 31, 2016, as compared to $13,431,621 as of June 30, 2016. We have been assisting our distributors in certain marketing efforts and developing standard stores to enhance our competitive advantages and market shares since December 31, 2015. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the realization of contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor has to be refunded to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup to guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Inventories

We had an inventory of $64,255,981 as of December 31, 2016, as compared to $87,436,315 as of June 30, 2016, a decrease of $23,180,334, or 26.5%. The decrease was primarily attributable to Gufeng’s inventory. Gufeng’s inventory was $38,703,152 as of December 31, 2016, compared to $60,183,741 as of June 30, 2016.

Advances to Suppliers

We had advances to suppliers of $28,707,243 as of December 31, 2016 as compared to $26,863,959 as of June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $1,843,284 or 6.9% which was due to the large acquisition of raw material during the last six months. To ensure our ability to deliver compound fertilizer to the distributor timely prior to the planting season, we need to have sufficient raw material in stock to stabilize the production. To build up the inventory, we typically make advance payment to the suppliers to secure the supply of raw material of basic fertilizer. Our inventory level may fluctuate from time to time, depending how fast the raw material gets consumed and replenished during the production process, and how fast the finished goods get sold. The replenishment of raw material relies on the management’s estimate of numerous factors, including but not limited to, the raw material’s future price, and spot price along with their volatility, as well as the seasonal demand and future price of finished fertilizer products. Such estimate may not be accurate, and the purchase decision of raw materials based on the estimate can cause excessive inventories in slow sales and insufficient inventories in peak times.

Accounts Payable

We had accounts payable of $5,577,064 as of December 31, 2016 as compared to $5,246,153 as of June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $330,911, or 6.3%. The increase was primarily due to the VIEs, which had $4,308,607 accounts payable as of December 31, 2016.

Unearned Revenue (Customer Deposits)

We had unearned revenue of $5,413,319 as of December 31, 2016 as compared to $8,578,341 as of June 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $3,165,022, or 36.9%. The decrease was mainly attributable to Gufeng’s $2,427,946 unearned revenue as of December 31, 2016, compared to $4,381,169 unearned revenue as of June 30, 2016, caused by the advancement deposits made by client. This decrease was seasonal fluctuation and we expect to deliver products to our customers during the next three months at which time we will recognize the revenue.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the most critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Use of estimates

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, we have no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.

Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows purposes, we consider all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Any accounts receivable of Jinong and Gufeng that is outstanding for more than 180 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts, and any accounts receivable of Yuxing that is outstanding for more than 90 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts.

Deferred assets

Deferred assets represent amounts the Company advanced to the distributors in their marketing and stores development to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the realization the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor has to be refunded to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Segment reporting

FASB 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.

As of December 31, 2016, we were organized into three main business segments: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and Yuxing (agricultural products production).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Disclosures About Market Risk

We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not, in the normal course of business, use financial instruments that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.

Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However, we use U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not again become volatile or that RMB will not devalue significantly against U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC.

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollar. Except for U.S. holding companies, all of our consolidated revenues, consolidated costs and expenses, and our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If RMB depreciates against U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2016, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $22.1 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. The value of RMB against U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. In 2016, China’s currency dropped by a cumulative 6.8% against the U.S. dollar. The effect on trade can be substantial. Moreover, it is possible that, in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Interest Rate Risk

We deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interests. The amount of short-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 was $4.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans, are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The original loan term on average is one year, and the remaining average life of the short term-loans is approximately five months.

Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records. Our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit managers.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

At the conclusion of the period ended December 31, 2016 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
