MAN SHING AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

(STATED IN US DOLLARS)

 

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with both generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

2.	ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

 

Man Shing Agricultural Holdings, Inc. (Man Shing”), formerly known as Montgomery Real Estate Services, Inc. (“Montgomery”), was incorporated on February 8, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada. From the beginning of 2003 until December 31, 2007, Montgomery had no operations and no assets and was considered a dormant company. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Montgomery began operating in the real estate industry and was engaged in the business of buying, selling, renting, and improving real estate.

 

As of August 20, 2009, Man Shing entered into a Plan of Exchange (the “Agreement”) between and among Man Shing, Hero Capital Profits Limited (“Hero”), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Weifang Xinsheng Food Co., Ltd. (“Xinsheng”), a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, and the shareholders of Xinsheng. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Man Shing acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding share capital of Hero from the shareholders of Hero in exchange for a new issuance of 32,800,000 shares of common stock of Man Shing and the simultaneous transfer of 3,535,000 shares of Man Shing’s preferred stock to the shareholders of Hero, held in the name of the Northeast Nominee Trust, of which Duane Bennett, the former president of Man Shing, is trustee, which gave the shareholders of Hero an interest in Man Shing representing 99.38% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and 98.19% of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Transaction”). Upon completion of the exchange, Hero and Xinsheng became Man Shing’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The Transaction was consummated on August 20, 2009.

 

The Transaction has been accounted for as reverse acquisition and recapitalization of Man Shing and Hero / Xinsheng whereby Hero / Xinsheng is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Man Shing to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer) under the Transaction. The consolidated financial statements are in substance those of Xinsheng, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of Man Shing and Hero being included effective from the consummation date of the Transaction.

 

On September 2, 2009, Montgomery changed its name to Man Shing Agricultural Holdings, Inc. to more accurately reflect the business after the stock exchange Transaction with Hero and Xinsheng.

 

Man Shing, Hero and Xinsheng are hereinafter referred to in these notes as the “Company”.

5.	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

 

The majority of the Company’s sales are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies a percentage to aged receivables categories. During the reporting periods, management establishes a general provision allowance equivalent to 0.5% of the gross amount of trade receivables due in less than 1 year, 5% of the gross amount of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, and 10% of the gross amount of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years. Management completely writes off the gross amount of trade receivables due over 3 years.

 

Based upon the aforementioned criteria, management has determined that the allowances for doubtful accounts of $46,419 and $43,285 are appropriate as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

		September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
Accounts receivable, gross		$	9,170,390			$	8,530,913
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts			(46,419	)			(43,285	)
Accounts receivable, net		$	9,123,971			$	8,487,628

 

The movements in general allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

 

		September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
Opening balance		$	43,285			$	31,608
Allowance recognized			3,134				11,677

9.	CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On January 4, 2010, the Company issued a secured convertible redeemable debenture (“Debenture I”) in the amount of $1,000,000, along with 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to a non-affiliate investor, which was secured by 6,286,250 shares of the Company’s common stock and 839,562 shares of the Company’s preferred stock (equivalent to 14,681,870 shares of common stock), representing a pro rata portion of a majority position in the Company’s common stock owned by Mr. Shili Liu. The 839,562 shares of the Company’s pledged preferred stock were released on November 30, 2010 and cancelled on December 16, 2010, respectively.

 

Debenture I bears an annual interest rate of 8% payable quarterly in cash, and a default interest rate of 16% per annum. All or any part of the principal amount of Debenture I, plus accrued interest, may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to two dollars ($2.00) at the option of the holder. Debenture I matures three years after the date of issuance. The non-affiliate investor has the right to acquire an additional debenture of $100,000 and 80,000 shares within three years from the date of issuance, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,000,000.

 

On January 14, 2010, the Company issued a secured convertible redeemable debenture (“Debenture II”) in the amount of $500,000, along with 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to a non-affiliate investor, which was secured by 3,143,125 shares of the Company’s common stock and 419,781 shares of the Company’s preferred stock (equivalent to 7,340,935 shares of common stock), representing a pro rata portion of a majority position in the Company’s common stock owned by Mr. Shili Liu. The 419,781 shares of the Company’s pledged preferred stock were released on November 30, 2010 and cancelled on December 16, 2010, respectively.

 

Debenture II bears an annual interest rate of 8% payable quarterly in cash and a default interest rate of 16% per annum. All or any part of the principal amount of Debenture II, plus accrued interest, may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to two dollars ($2.00) at the option of the holder. Debenture II matures three years after the date of issuance. The non-affiliate investor has the right to acquire an additional debenture of $100,000 and 80,000 shares within three years from the date of issuance, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,000,000.

 

 

The Company recognized the above debentures and accrued interest at carrying amounts and the shares of common stock were recognized as a prepaid expense using the bid price of the Company’s common stock at the issuance date, amortized to stock-based compensation expenses over the maturity period. Accordingly, the Company recognized $25,000 and $25,000 for the three months period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Pursuant to Registration Rights Agreements, (the “RRAs”) the Company was required to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within thirty days of the issuance of Debentures I and II, respectively, and have those registration statements declared effective within 120 days of issuance. If these registrations and effective declarations did not occur, the Company was to pay damages to the holder of the debenture. The RRAs were rescinded pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the investors on September 13, 2010.

 

At any time prior to the maturity date after twelve months from the date of issue of the debentures, the Company will have the right to redeem all the debentures then outstanding, by payment in full, and not in part, of the outstanding principal amount due plus a premium equal to 50% of the principal amount being paid, plus all accrued and unpaid interest due through the date of payment without premium.

On May 27, 2010, the Company issued 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant for services rendered. The fair value of the 125,000 shares was determined using the bid price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date, at a price of $0.25 per share. Accordingly, the Company calculated the stock-based compensation of $31,250 at its fair value.

 

 

On May 5, 2010, 65,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into 650,000 shares of common stock, based on a rate of 10 common shares for each preferred stock, at the request of the preferred stockholder pursuant to the terms of the preferred stock.

11.	INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at the statutory rate of 25% on the profits as reported in the Company’s PRC statutory financial statements as adjusted by profit and loss items that are not taxable or deductible. The Company was exempt from the EIT for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended June 30, 2012, as it engages in agricultural business as approved by PRC tax bureau. The Company must renew the exemption annually. The Company expects its exemption to continue since it operates in the rural agricultural business.

 

PRC’s legislative body, the National People’s Congress, adopted the unified EIT Law on March 16, 2007. This new tax law replaced the income tax laws for domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises and became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new tax law, a unified income tax rate is set at 25% for both domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises. However, there will be a transition period for enterprises, whether foreign-invested or domestic, that are currently receiving preferential tax treatments granted by relevant tax authorities. Enterprises that are subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% may continue to enjoy the lower rate and will transit into the new tax rate over a five year period beginning on the effective date of the EIT Law. Enterprises that are currently entitled to exemptions for a fixed term may continue to enjoy such treatment until the exemption term expires. Preferential tax treatments may continue to be granted to industries and projects that qualify for such preferential treatments under the new law.

 

 

No income taxes have been included in the statements of operations and comprehensive income for the reporting periods for EIT for the Company’s continuing operations in the PRC.

 

The Company conducts all its operating business through its subsidiary in China. The subsidiary is governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and does not have any material deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities under the income tax laws of the PRC because there are no material temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

 

The Company by itself does not have any business operating activities in the United States.

 

The following table reconciles the statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended June 30, 2012:

 

		Quarter ended				Year ended
		September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
PRC statutory rates			25	%			25	%
Effect of tax rates in different jurisdiction			0.12	%			(0.24	)%
Effect of non-deductible expenses			61.85	%			47.57	%
Change in valuation allowance			2.35	%			2.21	%
Effect of tax exemption of PRC subsidiary			(89.32	)%			(74.54	)%
Effective income rate			0	%			0	%

 

The Company has not provided deferred tax liabilities of $2,479,144, and $2,262,417 as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively, on undistributed earnings attributable to its PRC subsidiary since January 1, 2008 as it intends to reinvest such earnings and the payment of dividends is indefinitely postponed.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, Man Shing had accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for United States federal income tax purposes of approximately $3,393,957 and $3,257,754, respectively, that are available to offset future taxable income. Realization of the net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon future profitable operations. In addition, the carryforwards may be limited upon a change of control in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as amended. Accordingly, management has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss carryforwards to zero at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2032.

 

 

Net deferred tax assets relate solely to Man Shing, and consist of the following components as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

 

		September 30, 2012				June 30, 2012
Deferred tax assets			1,188,000				1,140,000
Less: valuation allowance			(1,188,000	)			(1,140 000	)
Net deferred tax asset			—				—

 

Value added tax (VAT”)

 

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with the PRC laws. The VAT standard rate is 13% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the products.

 

On December 31, 2011, Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation issued a notice (Cai Shui [2011] No. 137) on the exemption of VAT for vegetable products with effect from January 1, 2012.

 

12.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of the common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

 

The following tables illustrate the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

		Three months ended September 30,
		2012				2011
Net income for the period		$	1,972,319			$	2,058,210
Determination of shares:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Basic)			48,226,958				48,026,958
Assumed conversion of preferred stock			—				1,767,500
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Diluted)			48,226,958				49,794,458
Basic earnings per share		$	0.04			$	0.04
Diluted earnings per share		$	0.04			$	0.04

  

Conversion of the convertible notes (see note 9) is not assumed and the related 750,000 shares (Convertible notes of $1,500,000 at conversion price of $2) were not included in weighted average share calculation as the conversion would be anti-dilutive because the conversion price was higher than the market value per share of the common stock as of September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

13.	COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company has entered into the following material lease agreements.

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

 

Business Overview

 

Our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Xinsheng, a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC. Xinsheng is principally engaged in the production and processing of high quality fresh and frozen ginger, as well as other fruits and vegetables, such as onion and garlic. Our customers are primarily based in Japan and several European countries. We produce high quality fresh and frozen ginger according to the strict food safety standards of those countries. We have been certified by the British Retail Consortium Global Food Standard for Food Safety. Regarding our food safety management system, we have met the requirements under Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Principles (“HACCP”) promulgated by Moody International Certification Limited. We maintain a monitoring and supervision program that we believe results in our products being in compliance with food safety standards from the countries into which we sell them.

 

Production Process and Quality Control Procedures

 

Currently, we lease 7.7 million square meters of land in Anqui, Shandong Province where we plant and harvest high quality ginger in addition to other fruits and vegetables, including onion and garlic. The planting of ginger takes place in April, the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and harvesting takes place in October, the second quarter of our fiscal year.

 

Our quality control procedures include the following:

 

	1.	Soil is tested for chemical residue that may have harmful effects on our products.
	2.	Our fertilizing and debugging methods are environmentally friendly, and we do not use chemical pesticides.
	3.	Raw ginger is randomly selected to test for any chemical residue.
	4.	Raw ginger is randomly selected to check for inappropriately sized or rotten ginger.
	5.	Half-finished ginger products are randomly selected to ensure that their size and weight will meet customer requirements.
	6.	Finished product is randomly selected to test for quality and quantity.
	7.	Electronic weights are utilized to weigh the finished products. In order to ensure the weights are working properly and accurately, the weights are tested frequently.
	8.	Finished product is randomly tested to ensure that its weight will meet customer requirements.

Growth Strategy

 

We aim to be one of the largest exporters of fresh and frozen vegetables in China and our goal is to capture more of China’s export market share in high quality fresh and frozen vegetables over the next few years. Our short-term strategy is to increase production capacity to satisfy our customers’ demand. Our long-term strategy is to make efficient use of China’s resources of low-cost labor and operating costs to increase our market share.

 

We intend to grow by:

 

	·	Maintaining our reputation and increasing customer satisfaction by meeting applicable food safety standards.

	·	Increasing production capacity to satisfy increasing customer demand.

	·	Working with our customers to meet end user demand for new products and forms of our ginger and frozen fruits and vegetables. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Man Shing produced 11 products.

·

Continuing to maximize operating efficiencies through the utilization of our existing infrastructure and low labor and operating costs.

 

Competition

 

We are located in Anqiu City, Shandong Province. Anqiu is a large ginger producing region in China, and is an ideal location to grow sandy soil plants such as ginger. Within the Shandong Province region, competitors consist of smaller local processing enterprises as compared to Man Shing.

 

We operate in a highly fragmented industry and our primary competitive advantage is that we lease over 7.7 million square meters of farmland in Anqiu Weifang. The long term leases provide stable farmland for planting.

 

We believe our ability to maintain a competitive advantage depends on many factors including the following:

 

·

There is growing demand for ginger in the agricultural industry. Ginger is used in cooking as both an ingredient and main course;

 

·

We are able to meet strict export requirements that smaller local producers are unable to meet;

 

·

We have leased 7.7 million square meters of farmland. We believe that we have significantly more farmland than most of our competitors in the region. Our size supports our ability to maintain our high quality safety standards;

 

·

We have spent a significant amount of capital on safety and operational infrastructure. We can leverage this investment as we continue to produce high quality products which meets the applicable food safety standards;

 

·

We have relationships not only with the local government but also with our customers. Through these relationships, we have been able to increase the amount of farmland leased year over year and maintain our customer base. Our customers are willing to pay a premium for our high quality products since we comply with the most stringent international safety and quality standards that many of our smaller competitors are currently unable to meet; and

 

·

Local governments have tightened the export license renewal procedures and have toughened inspection, as a result of which certain exporters have terminated operations.

 

We believe that we are uniquely positioned as a leading exporter and one of the largest producers of ginger in the Shandong Province. We depend on our ability to continue to increase our land capacity which we have successfully done over the past several years. We must also maintain long term relationships with customers and attract new customers in order to continue increasing revenue and profitability.

Revenues

 

Net revenues were $7,046,479 and $7,181,048 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The slight decrease in revenue by 2% is attributable to a slight decrease in the production volume and orders for ginger in this quarter as compared to the same period in the last year. We did not record any product returns for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. In addition, a decline in the selling price of ginger products dragged down sales.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales primarily includes costs to plant, harvest and store ginger and other agricultural products such as ginger seeds and fertilizers. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we had cost of revenues of $4,290,210, or approximately 61% of revenues, versus cost of revenues of $4,274,273, or approximately 60%, of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased slightly due primarily to an increase in costs of planting and production.

 

Gross profit

 

We had gross profit of $2,756,269 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which decreased by $150,506 or 5% when compared to the gross profit of $2,906,775 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

 

Gross profit margin decreased by 1% from 40% for quarter ended September 30, 2011 to 39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

 

The decrease in gross profit margin for our ginger and agricultural products during the period under review was due primarily to an increase in material costs and a decrease in sales.

 

Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $758,552 compared to operating expenses of $790,091 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a decrease in the selling and marketing expenses of $180,060, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $148,521.

 

Selling and marketing expenses were 7% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 9% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in the selling and marketing expenses was due primarily to a decrease in distribution costs.

 

General and administrative expenses were 4% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. General and administrative expenses were maintained at a relatively low level as a percentage of revenue. General and administrative expenses consisted of mainly professional fees and office rental expenses.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

We had no income tax expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, since the Company is exempted from the Enterprise Income Tax as approved by the PRC tax bureau.

 

Income

 

We had a net income of $ 1,972,319 and $2,058,210 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net income margin was stable at 28% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as compared to 29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The net income in these periods was due primarily to sales of our fresh and frozen ginger and other agricultural products. Our net income is a function of revenues, cost of sales and other expenses as described above. Our expenses remained at a stable level as a percentage of revenue.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in our cost of operations by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16,114,315 and $14,114,741, respectively.

 

Working capital as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 amounted to $35,714,906 and $33,785,437, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $2,046,424 and $4,179,529, respectively. Cash flows from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were contributed primarily by net income generated from operating activities of $1,972,319, a decrease in inventory by $2,817,020 and increase in other payables and accrued liabilities by $118,037, partially offset by increase in prepayment and deferred inventory costs of $2,319,374 which was in connection with mainly prepaid rent, supplies and other items used in the growing and packaging of ginger and increase in accounts receivable by $661,819.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $8,777 and $66,386 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was due primarily to the increase in fixed assets and purchase of equipment.

 

On January 4, 2010, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and China Angel Assets Management Limited (“China Angel”), the Company issued a secured convertible redeemable debenture in the amount of $1,000,000, along with 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to China Angel.

 

On January 14, 2010, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and Guang Dong ZhiBo Investment Co., Ltd. (“ZhiBo”), the Company issued a secured convertible redeemable debenture in the amount of $500,000, along with 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to ZhiBo.

 

On September 13, 2010, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which the investors were obligated to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for consideration of $0.40 per share of Common Stock (an aggregate of $4,000,000).

 

Overall, we have funded all of our cash needs and no significant amount of our trade payables has been unpaid within the stated trade term. As of September 30, 2012, we are not subject to any unsatisfied judgments, liens, or settlement obligations. We believe that the current operating activities would be able to generate adequate cash flows supporting the daily operations for the next twelve months.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables, other receivables, inventories, warranty reserve, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value.  Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts.  In determining the collectability of the account, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivables categories. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future.  If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

 

Based on the above assessment, during the reporting periods, management establishes the general provision allowance equivalent to 0.5% of the gross amount of trade receivables due less than 1 year, 5% of the gross amount of trade receivables due from 1 to 2 years, and 10% of the gross amount of trade receivables due from 2 to 3 years. Management writes off the gross amount of trade receivables due over 3 years.  An additional specific provision is made against trade receivables to the extent to which they are considered to be doubtful. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables.

 

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by the management and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss. This general provisioning policy has not changed since establishment and the management considers that the aforementioned general provisioning policy is adequate and not too excessive and does not expect to change this established policy in the near future.

 

Deferred inventory cost

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’’) 905 “Agriculture”, costs of growing crops shall be accumulated until the time of harvest. Growing crops shall be reported at the lower of cost or market.

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost is determined on a first in first out basis, and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition.  In case of manufacturing inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.  In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.

 

In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analyses. The Company writes down the inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue from sales of the Company’s products, including fresh frozen produce and processed produce, is recognized upon customer acceptance, which occurs at the time of delivery to customer, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as signed sales contract, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to its customers with no significant post-delivery obligation on our part, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. We do not provide our customers with contractual rights of return and post-delivery discount for any of our products, including fresh produce and processed produce. When any significant post-delivery performance obligation exists, revenue is recognized only after such obligation is fulfilled. We evaluate the terms of sales agreement with our customer for fresh frozen produce and processed produce in order to determine whether any significant post-delivery performance obligations exist. Currently, the sales under fresh produce and processed produce segments do not include any terms which may impose any significant post-delivery performance obligations.

 

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 13% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

 

However, on December 31, 2011, Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation issued a notice of (Cai Shui [2011] No. 137) on the exemption of VAT for vegetable products with effect from January 1, 2012.

 

Convertible notes

 

According to ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, the Company records the convertible debt and accrued interest as conventional convertible debt at the carrying amounts without bifurcation.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures compensation expenses for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The fair value of the stock issued was used to measure the compensation, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured using the bid price as the value of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (who is also our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (who is also our Chief Financial Officer), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of September 30, 2012, 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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weakness and significant deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting described below.

 

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The material weakness and significant deficiency identified by our management as of September 30, 2012 relates to the ability of the Company to record transactions and provide disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. For example, our staff members do not hold licenses such as Certified Public Accountant in the U.S., have not attended U.S. institutions for training as accountants, and have not attended extended educational programs that would provide sufficient relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP. Our staff needs substantial training to meet the demands of a U.S. public company and our staff’s understanding of the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting is inadequate.

 

Remediation Initiative

 

We previously began to provide U.S. GAAP training sessions to our accounting team and intend to increase the amount of training that each member of our accounting team receives. The training sessions will be organized to help our corporate accounting team gain experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and to enhance their awareness of new and emerging pronouncements with potential impact over our financial reporting. Since March 2011, we have engaged a certified public accounting firm in the United States to act as a consultant to provide advice regarding U.S. GAAP and internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(i)        pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

(ii)       provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

(iii)      provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
