Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced a loss of $9,460,716 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and a loss of $8,131,069 for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to a low selling price of ginseng and has an accumulated deficit of $25,277,000 as at March 31, 2007. The Company is closely monitoring cash resources and has received significant financing from a Canadian chartered bank and a company formerly under common control.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependant on achieving ongoing profitable operations and the continued financial support of its creditors. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and reclassification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Interim financial statements

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) except that certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have not been presented. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. These interim consolidated financial statements are subject to seasonality due to the timing of crop harvesting which typically occurs in the fall and the timing of subsequent sales, and therefore may not be indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements except as noted below.

Adoption of new accounting standards

In April 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued Section 3855, "Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement", Section 1530, "Comprehensive Income", Section 3865, "Hedges", Section 3861, "Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation", and Section 3251, "Equity". These standards introduce new requirements for recognition, measurement and disclosure of financial instruments, when and how hedge accounting may be applied, establishes the concept of comprehensive income and rules for reporting it and establishes rules for the presentation of equity and changes in equity. The Company adopted the new standards on January 1, 2007 and has classified its foreign exchange contracts as held for trading. There were no adjustments required as a result of the adoption of these new standards. Prior period financial statements are not revised for the adoption of the new standards.

Use of estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other disclosures as at the end of or during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, net realizable value of inventory, crop costs, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, future income taxes and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Chai-Na-Ta Corp. First Quarter Report for the period ended March 31, 2007


3. Loss per common share


Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common shares by including other common shares equivalents in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental number of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

At March 31, 2007 there were 388,100 stock options outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share has been restated to include the convertible preferred shares. The number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share has been restated to 34,698,000 from 24,299,000.


4. Assets held for sale


Due to the decision to discontinue planting in British Columbia and to improve short-term cash flows, the Company has made available for sale the land and buildings located near Kamloops, British Columbia. This facility is currently used as the head office for the farms operations in British Columbia.


5. Bank indebtedness


The Company has available a $5,000,000 revolving demand operating loan with a Canadian chartered bank at a rate of prime plus 1.25% per annum. As at March 31, 2007, the Company had drawn $850,000 against the loan. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred $19,000 of interest which has been included in interest on short-term debt on the statement of operations.

9. Commitments, contingencies and guarantees

The Company has become involved in a legal proceeding as a result of an automobile accident. The Company believes that existing insurance will be sufficient to cover any claim from this matter.

10. Financial instruments

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three months ended March 31, 2007

The following discussion and analysis reviews the operating results, financial position and liquidity, risks and industry trends affecting the financial results of Chai-Na-Ta Corp. Additional comments relate to changes made to operations since the year-end and their expected financial impact.

This commentary has been prepared as of May 4, 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and their accompanying notes prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with the 2006 annual audited financial statements and MD&A which can be found on the Company’s website. Amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified.

Some of the statements made in this MD&A are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives, or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements.

OVERVIEW

Chai-Na-Ta Corp. is the world’s largest supplier of North American ginseng. Since its inception, the Company has grown from a farming operation into a vertically integrated organization embracing farming, bulk processing, distribution and marketing of North American ginseng and value-added nutraceutical products. The Company is headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, with farming operations in both Ontario and British Columbia. Due to the continued rusty root problem and the downward price pressure of ginseng grown in British Columbia, the Company decided to stop planting in British Columbia in 2006 and thereafter and expects to close its British Columbia operations after the final harvest in 2008. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong is responsible for the marketing and distribution of its products in China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The Company also sells graded root and ginseng-based value-added products in Canada.

Ginseng prices increased and buyers were more willing to carry inventory in the first three months of 2007 compared to the first three months of 2006. However, ginseng prices still remain at low levels and the sales of inventory made during the first three months of 2007 were close to the written-down value of the Company’s inventory in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company recorded a gross margin of $91,000 on revenue of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to a gross margin of $78,000 on revenue of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

As a result of the thin margins on the sales of ginseng, the Company recorded a net loss of $361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This compares to a loss of $212,000 for the same period in the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue increased to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $1.3 million in the first quarter of the previous year. The average selling price was $10.43 per pound in the first three months of 2007 compared to $4.40 in the first three months of 2006. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the volume of sales, an increase in sales prices and an increase in higher quality roots sold in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006.

Cost of goods sold was 98% of sales revenue in the first quarter of 2007, compared to 94% in the previous year period. Gross margin was 2% of sales in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 6% for the same period in 2006. In both 2007 and 2006, sales of inventory in the first three months were made at amounts close to their written-down values thus resulting in a minimal margin on sales.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 16% to $284,000 compared to $338,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The reduction was due to cost cutting measures implemented by the Company.

Interest on short-term debt decreased to $19,000 in the first quarter of 2007 from $103,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in interest is primarily due to the increase in cash from sales and customer deposits that the Company received in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. This allowed the Company to reduce its bank indebtedness and thus reduce interest on short-term debt.

Interest on long-term debt increased to $168,000 in the first quarter of 2007 from $37,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in interest on long-term debt is a result of the four year loan facility established with More Growth in the third quarter of 2006 of $8.0 million which was used to fund working capital requirements and to repay the $3.5 million in borrowings that had been established over shorter terms during 2005.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss of $361,000, or $0.01 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $212,000, or $0.01 per basic share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The net loss is lower in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the recovery of income taxes of $193,000 recorded during that period.

The Company did not declare any dividends on any class of shares during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or for any period in the previous three fiscal years ended December 31, 2006.

Ginseng crops are harvested in the fall of every year, revenue and earnings tend to be higher in first two quarters of the following year as the harvested roots are sold. Significant fluctuations in revenue and earnings in any period are impacted by the quantity and quality of root sold, the selling price of such root, and the relative strength of the Canadian dollar to the currencies used by customers.

The change in the sales pattern in 2005 was mainly due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the currencies used by the Company’s customers, who deferred purchasing decisions, as well as by the Company’s decision in the last quarter of 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005 to hold off sales of the 2004 harvest until the price of ginseng stabilized.

The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2006 included a $2.7 million write-down on inventory and a $2.7 million write-down on crop costs. The net loss in the third quarter of 2006 included a $1.8 million valuation allowance against future income tax assets. The net loss in the second quarter of 2006 included a $235,000 write-down on inventory.

The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2005 included a $3.2 million write-down on inventory and a $110,000 write-down of assets held for sale. The net loss in the third quarter of 2005 included a write-down on inventory and crop costs of $5.5 million and a $136,000 write-down of assets held for sale. The net loss in the second quarter of 2005 included a write-down of $1.1 million on inventory.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cash provided by operations was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared with $358,000 used by operations for the same period in 2006. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to the increase in sales in the first quarter of the current year compared to the same period in the prior year. The cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2007 was primarily used to reduce the Company’s bank indebtedness.

Current and non-current crop cost expenditures before depreciation and interest totalled $866,000 in the first three months of 2006 compared to $953,000 in the first three months of 2006. The decrease in expenditures on crop costs in the current year was a result of cost saving measures enacted by management and fewer total acres under cultivation compared to the prior year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed the sales of both the corporate head office located in Richmond, British Columbia and land near Walhachin, British Columbia. The proceeds from the disposition of these properties were used to partially repay the term loan from a Canadian chartered bank and to fund current operations.

The Company’s cash as at March 31, 2007 was $257,000 compared to a balance of $484,000 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $227,000. The working capital position of the Company at March 31, 2007 was a surplus of $7.4 million compared to a surplus of $7.5 million at December 31, 2006.

As at March 31, 2007, the Company had received $2.2 million in deposits from customers. These deposits are on orders that management expects will be fulfilled in the second or third quarter of 2007.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had drawn $850,000 of the available $5.0 million revolving demand operating loan from a Canadian chartered bank. The Company incurred interest of $19,000 on the demand loan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 which has been included in interest on short-term debt on the statement of operations.

On August 18, 2006, the Company accepted a four year term loan facility of HK$54.7 million (approximately $8.0 million) from More Growth to finance the general working capital requirements of the Company and to repay the existing HK$23.2 million (approximately $3.5 million) loan.

This loan facility is unsecured and bears interest at 1.7% above the HIBOR (Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate) or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The Company has fully drawn the loan facility. The Company incurred interest of $165,000 on the loan facility for the three months ended March 31, 2007 which has been included in interest on long-term debt on the statement of operations.

The Company believes that its existing cash resources, together with the cash generated from future sales of inventory, available bank borrowings and the current related party borrowings, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and operating requirements for the next twelve months. If the Company cannot generate sufficient cash from its existing resources, it will become necessary to secure additional financing; however there is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms favourable to the Company. If the Company cannot generate sufficient cash and if it cannot secure additional financing, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern will be dependant on the continuing support of its principal shareholder and its creditors.

As at March 31, 2007, the Company had the contractual obligations and commercial commitments outlined in the table below:


Contractual Obligations
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)	Payments Due by Period
		Less Than			More Than
	Total	1 Year	1 - 3 Years	3 - 5 Years	5 Years

Long-term debt (1)	$ 8,527,000	$ 294,000	$ 142,000	$ 8,091,000	$ -

The following commitments are not included in the Contractual Obligations table:

The Company has agreed to indemnify a landlord with respect to any environmental contamination for certain leased premises. Although there is no maximum cost specified, the Company does not expect to incur costs in connection with this indemnification and as such no amounts have been accrued as of March 31, 2007;

The Company is committed to maintaining its ginseng crops from the time of initial planting to the time of harvesting, which usually takes three to four years. The cost of maintaining these crops is financed through the sale of inventory and available bank borrowings; and

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 18, 2006, the Company established a four year term loan facility of HK$54.7 million (approximately $8.0 million) from More Growth. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 1.7% per annum over the HIBOR (Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate) or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The loan was used to refinance existing loan facilities and to finance the general working capital requirements of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and other disclosures as at the end of or during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates and from judgments made under different assumptions or conditions.

The following items require the most significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements:

Inventory

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of inventory to determine if write-downs are required to state the inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value reflects management’s best estimate of the expected selling price of the roots as well as consideration of qualitative factors such as size, shape, colour and taste.

The carrying value of inventory also reflects management’s expectation that the inventory will eventually be sold. Although management does not believe that additional provisions are required to align the carrying value of certain inventory with its net realizable values, future events may indicate that the inventory is not saleable or that such inventory is not saleable at prices above carrying value.

Ginseng Crops

The Company uses the full absorption costing method to value its ginseng crops and periodically reviews their carrying value for evidence of impairment. Included in the cost of crops are seed, labour, applicable overhead, interest and supplies required to bring them to harvest. The determination of impairment requires complex calculations and significant management estimation with respect to future costs to bring crops to harvest; demand for and the market price of harvested ginseng roots; and expectations as to the yield and quality of ginseng roots harvested. The estimation process is further complicated by the relatively long growing cycle of three to four years and the fact that roots remain underground. Although the Company’s assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, future events may result in materially different outcomes with respect to the recoverability of ginseng crop costs and the time required bringing the crops to harvest.

Income Taxes

The Company estimates its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions that it operates. The process involves estimating the current income tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in future tax assets and liabilities that are included in the consolidated balance sheet to the extent that a net future income tax asset or liability exists. The valuation of any future income tax assets or liabilities is reviewed quarterly and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount. The process of determining if a valuation allowance is necessary includes estimates of the recoverability of inventory and ginseng crops as detailed above and an estimate of future interest expense. Future events may result in a materially different outcomes than is estimated with respect to the recoverability of both inventory and ginseng crops.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Capital Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company will be required to adopt the changes to CICA Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. This Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital and how it is managed. The adoption of these standards is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments - Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company will be required to adopt CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures. This Section require entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate both the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position, and performance and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. The adoption of these standards is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company’s revenue and earnings are affected by the world price of ginseng root, which is determined by reference to factors including the supply and demand for North American ginseng root, negotiations between buyers and sellers, the quality and aesthetic characteristics of the root and the relative strength of the Canadian dollar to the currencies used by the Company’s customers. A percentage change in the market price of ginseng root tends to have a corresponding impact on the revenue reported by the Company.

The Company identifies Canada as the primary economic environment in which it operates, and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency except for its active foreign subsidiary that operates in Hong Kong and which uses the Hong Kong dollar as its functional currency. A major portion of the Company’s long-term debt is denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars. A minor portion of the Company’s revenue and receivables is denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The Company monitors its exposure to foreign exchange risk and balances its foreign currency holdings to reduce exposure to any one currency by repatriating any excess funds.

The Ministry of Commence of the People’s Republic of China announced an order that stops the importation of cultivated North American ginseng for the purpose of contract processing in China, and the subsequent exporting of the processed ginseng to other markets. The announcement was effective on November 1, 2004. As a result, the Company believes there could be an impact on the demand for and the prices of North American ginseng; however, based on information available to date the Company does not believe that there has been a significant impact attributable to this announcement.

On July 21, 2005, the People’s Bank of China announced an increase of 2.1% in the value of the Chinese renminbi in relation to the US dollar. The bank also announced that it will no longer fix the renminbi to the US dollar but instead will fix it to a market basket of currencies. However, the Company is not aware of any significant impact on the demand for and the prices of North American ginseng as a result of this.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments of the Company are represented by cash, accounts receivable and other assets, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits and long-term debt from unrelated parties. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such items or their bearing market related rates of interest. The fair value of the loans payable to More Growth is not readily determinable due to the related party nature of the loan when it was agreed upon.

Interest on the Company's line of credit is based on variable rates. This exposes the Company to the risk of changing interest rates that may have an effect on its earnings in future periods. The Company does not use derivative instruments to mitigate this risk.

The Company’s revenue is derived principally from the sale of ginseng roots to a limited number of customers that are concentrated in Asian markets. In order to manage its credit risk, the Company carefully monitors credit terms, investigates credit history and grants credit to customers with established relationships or acceptable credit ratings. Payments or deposits are usually received before shipments of inventory. Inventory may be held as security until payment is received when such relationships have not been established. As the Company’s significant customers do not necessarily use the ginseng themselves but instead distribute the ginseng to smaller wholesalers, distributors and retailers, the Company does not believe that it is economically dependent on any one customer nor that the loss of any one wholesaler would impact the Company’s ability to market roots through other channels. There can be no assurance, however, that adverse changes in the above noted factors will not materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

The Company is exposed to currency exchange risk as a result of its international markets and operations. The majority of the Company’s revenue comes from buyers who are located outside of Canada and as a result the selling price that the Company can achieve in those markets are exposed to changes in exchange rates. The Company has debt denominated in foreign currency and therefore the interest and repayment of debt is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company engages in foreign exchange contracts to help mitigate this risk.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There are no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the current fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to material affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s interim financial statements and management discussion and analysis are approved by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee.

OUTLOOK

The Company will narrow its focus to maximizing the yield and quality of roots to return to profitability and to create positive cash flow. The Company will continue to plant, maintain and harvest ginseng crops in Ontario while maintaining the current plantings in British Columbia through to the final harvest in 2008.

The Company will continue promoting its graded root and exploring new opportunities to vertically integrate its operations and direct bulk root into value-added markets.
