On March 12, 2008, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Bright Stand International Limited, “Bright Stand”, and Kunio Yamamoto, a Japanese person and the sole former shareholder of Bright Stand.
This share exchange transaction resulted in Bright Stand’s former shareholder obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles of the United States require that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition with Bright Stand as the accounting acquirer and Yuhe International Inc. as the acquired party. Accordingly, the share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company.

Bright Stand
On August 3, 2007, Bright Stand was incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands. On January 31, 2008, Bright Stand completed the acquisition of 100% common stock of Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd., “PRC Yuhe,” and 43.75% of Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd., “Taihong”. As a result, Bright Stand owned 100% of PRC Yuhe and owned 43.75% direct interest of Taihong and 56.25% indirect interest of Taihong through PRC Yuhe. PRC Yuhe and Taihong became the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bright Stand.
PRC Yuhe

Summary of significant accounting policies
|
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books and records of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC, “PRC GAAP”, the accounting standards used in the place of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Yuhe International, Inc, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Bright Stand, PRC Yuhe and Taihong. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows have been eliminated.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts 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 estimates.
(c) Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period comparative consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
(d) Intangible assets
According to the laws of the PRC, the Chinese government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individual are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights approved by the PRC government. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the rights of up to 50 years, commencing from the date of acquisition.
(e) Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
3.

Summary of significant accounting policies – continued
|
(f) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings
|
20 years
|
Machinery
|
10 years
|
Vehicles
|
5 years
|
Furniture and equipment
|
3 years
|
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(g) Guarantee Expense
The Company guarantees its customers a 98% survival rate and, to ensure this is achieved, delivers an additional 2% of its day-old broilers. For example, the Company delivers two additional day-old broilers to its customers for every order of 100 day-old broilers. The cost for these two additional broilers is included in the Company’s cost of sales at the time of sale. The Company provides additional compensation to its customers if the survival rate falls below 96% in the first seven days following delivery after taking into consideration the additional 2% broilers that have already been provided. Any loss of broiler chicken solely caused by customers is excluded from the guarantee. Based on its historical experience, the Company believes that there is only a remote chance that the survival rate will fall below 96% and therefore no liability is accrued. Guarantee expense was $0 for the 3 months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
(h) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is done by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements, there was no impairment loss.
(i) Inventories
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. At each balance sheet date, inventories that are worth less than cost are written down to their net realizable value, and the difference is charged to the cost of revenues of that period.
(j) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Management has adopted an allowance policy which provides an allowance equivalent to 30% of the gross amount of accounts receivables due over 6 months and 60% of the gross amount of accounts receivables due over 1 year. Full provision is made for accounts receivables due over 2 years. Bad debts are written off as incurred. It is a common industry practice in the PRC for customers to pay in advance prior to delivery of the products. As a result, the Company maintains a low level of trade receivables.

|
(k) Notes receivable
Notes receivable are stated at the original principal amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Management provides for an allowance when collection of the full amount is no longer probable by establishing an allowance equivalent to 30% of gross amount of notes receivables due over 6 months and 60% of gross amount of notes receivable due over 1 year. Full provision will be made for notes receivable due over 2 years.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts only in the PRC. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America. Cash deposits in PRC banks are not insured by any government agency or entity.
(m) Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the third-party distributor and larger producers at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by them, the sales price is fixed or determinable as stated in the sales contract, and collection is reasonably assured.
Customers do not have a general right of return on products delivered.
(n) Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of revenues.
(o) Advertising
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $6,829 and $3,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(p) Retirement benefit plans
The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $36,842 and $18,065 respectively.

Summary of significant accounting policies – continued
|
(q) Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
The Company operates in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the corporation income tax rate is 25%. PRC Yuhe is a poultry company, and in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding the favorable tax treatment for a poultry company, PRC Yuhe is not required to pay corporate income tax. However, any decision by the relevant tax authorities in the future that PRC Yuhe is no longer eligible for tax exemption treatment may require PRC Yuhe to pay such taxes in the future.
The corporate income tax for the subsidiary, Taihong, is 25%.
(r) Shipping and handling fees
Shipping and handling fees are expensed when incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, shipping and handling charges included in expenses were $18,798 and $66,276 respectively.
(s) Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollar at the rates used in translation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from Chinese RMB using the following exchange rates.

(t) Comprehensive income
The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This statement requires the disclosure of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (excluding net income or loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Comprehensive income reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements has typically included foreign currency translation gains and losses on intercompany balances which are deemed to be of a long-term investment nature.
(u) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of all financial assets and liabilities do not differ materially from their carrying amounts, primarily due to their short-term nature. None of the financial instruments held are derivative financial instruments and none were acquired or held for trading purposes during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
(v) Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised as of the beginning of the period, or their date of issuance if later and the funds obtained thereby are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
(w) Statutory reserve
In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and the articles of association of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, PRC Yuhe and Taihong are required to allocate 10% of their net income reported in the PRC statutory accounts, after offsetting any prior years’ losses, to the statutory surplus reserve, on an annual basis. When the balance of such reserve reaches 50% of the respective registered capital of the subsidiaries, any further allocation is optional. The statutory surplus reserves can be used to offset prior years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into registered capital, provided that the remaining balance of the reserve after such conversion is not less than 25% of registered capital. The statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable.

The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 740-10, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
Through March 31, 2011, management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions which affected its consolidated financial position and results of operations or cash flow, and will continue to evaluate any such uncertain positions in the future. There are no estimated interest costs and penalties provided in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $60 million at March 31, 2011. As the company intends to indefinitely reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for income taxes that may become payable upon distribution of such earnings as allowed under ASC 740-30, “Accounting for Income Taxes-Other considerations or special areas.”

Fair value of financial instruments
|
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.
(a) Common stock
Total common stock issued and outstanding of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 20,249,563 and 20,249,563 shares, respectively.
(b) Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, with such rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.
On June 13, 2008, the Company issued 383,151 stock options to one employee and its three independent directors. The options vest over a three-year period and expire after five years. At March 31, 2011, all 383,151 options remain outstanding. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the period during which the grantee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only a service condition that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 109.40%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.00%. In estimating the volatility of the Company’s common stock, the Company used the historical average volatility of the Company’s stock. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the options was $2,186,499. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 of $179,712 and $179,695, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $5.71 per share. The weighted average exercise price of these options is $3.708 per share. The total number of stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 383,151 shares.

Significant concentrations and risk – continued
|
(b) Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.
(c) Company’s operations are in China
All of the Company’s products are produced in China. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in China. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of transfer of funds; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.

|
Business and geographical segments
|
The Company’s operations are classified into two principal reportable segments that provide different products or services. PRC Yuhe is engaged in the business of breeding chicken while Taihong is engaged in the business of feed production, in which most of the products were used internally. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different production and technology strategies.

On December 24, 2009, PRC Yuhe entered into an agreement to purchase thirteen breeder farms for a total consideration of $15,809,501 (RMB 103,870,000). As of December 31, 2010, PRC Yuhe has paid 80% of the total consideration, or $12,632,989 (RMB 83,000,000). The remaining balance of $3,176,512 (RMB 20,870,000), is expected to be paid by the end of December 2011. The farms cover a total area of 37 hectares (560 mu), for which PRC Yuhe acquired all the ground buildings as well as the land use rights for 36 years. The purchase price also includes in-house breeding facilities which supply feed, water and air to the parent breeders. In addition to the purchase price, the Company expects to spend approximately $2.49 million to renovate the facilities.
Acquisition of five Breeder Farms
On July 14, 2010, PRC Yuhe entered into an asset purchase agreement with Liaoning Haicheng Songsen Stock Farming and Feed Co., Ltd. (“Haicheng Songsen”), and Mr. Jiang Zhaolin, the controlling shareholder of Haicheng Songsen. Neither Haicheng Songsen nor Mr. Jiang Zhaolin is affiliated with the Company.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PRC Yuhe agreed to buy certain assets of Haicheng Songsen, including five breeder farms with a total area of approximately 52 acres and buildings totalling approximately 63,174 square meters in Haicheng, Liaoning Province, China, for a purchase price of $3,234,736 (RMB 21,252,540). As of December 31, 2010, PRC Yuhe had paid $2,473,713 (RMB 16,252,540). The remaining balance of $761,023 (RMB 5,000,000), is expected to be paid by the end of August 2011. Concurrent with the purchase, the Company issued 300,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Jiang Zhaolin pursuant to a service agreement (the “Service Agreement”) between PRC Yuhe and Mr. Jiang Zhaolin. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Mr. Jiang Zhaolin agreed to provide PRC Yuhe with certain services related to completion and closing of the Transaction in consideration for the restricted shares of common stock of the Company calculated at a price of $10.00 per share with total consideration equivalent to approximately RMB 20 million. On the issuance date, the 300,000 restricted shares were valued at $2,736,000, based on the closing market price of $9.12 on that day. By the end of March 31, 2011, the Company had officially taken possession of two breeder farms from Haicheng Songsen.
Acquisition of 10 Breeder Farms
On December 31, 2010, PRC Yuhe entered into an asset purchase agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) with each of Mr. Liu Tiezhu, Mr. Liu Kaichun, Mr. Luo Xingshi, Mr. Xu Zhenming, Mr. Shan Jichun and Mr. Xin Yubin (collectively, the “Sellers”). All Sellers are unaffiliated with the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, PRC Yuhe agreed to purchase from the Sellers, and each of the Sellers has agreed to sell, certain assets, including, in the aggregate, ten breeder farms with an area of 558.4 mu (approximately 91 acres) and buildings covering approximately 136,740 square meters in Henan and Liaoning provinces of China, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately RMB 108.7 million ($16.5 million). Mr. Xu Yubin will receive approximately 431,848 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock calculated at a price of $10 per share with total consideration equal to approximately RMB28.6 million, or approximately $4.3 million. These restricted shares, which have not yet been issued, will be subject to a six-month lock-up period. The other five Sellers will receive an aggregate cash consideration of approximately RMB 80.1 million ($12.1 million). The Purchase Agreements are subject to customary closing conditions and are expected to be closed at the end of 2011.
Purchase of Land Use Right and Construction for Hatchery No.4
On December 26, 2009, PRC Yuhe entered into an agreement to purchase land use rights and buildings on this land targeted for hatchery farm No. 4 for a total consideration of $3,044,094 (RMB 20,000,000). The land use right is for 50 years. As of December 31, 2010, full payment had already been made. PRC Yuhe plans to build hatchery farm No. 4 on this piece of land.
On November 5, 2010, PRC Yuhe entered into a construction agreement with a contractor to build hatchery farm No. 4 for a total consideration of $8,797,431 (RMB57.8 million).

Equipment Leasing and Rental Arrangement
|
On November 11, 2008, Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd. (“PRC Yuhe” or the “Lessor”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a lease contract with Shandong Nongbiao Purina Feed Co., Ltd. (the “Lessee”) for the lease of land, buildings and equipment with a term of 10 years and annual rental payments of RMB 1.5 million, equivalent to approximately $227,638. According to the lease contract, the Lessor would purchase new equipment for RMB 10 million, equivalent to approximately $1.5 million to be installed in the leased building, and such RMB 10 million, equivalent to approximately $1.5 million would be paid to the Lessor by the Lessee as rental prepayment under the lease contract.
By December 31, 2009, the Lessee had paid the Lessor RMB 7,863,000, equivalent to approximately $1.2 million, to be used for purchasing equipment and rental payment for land and building, which amount was treated as rental prepayment by the Lessee. This prepayment included two parts: (i) equipment rental, in the amount of RMB 4,164,390, equivalent to approximately $608,750, under “Minimum lease payments receivable” and (ii) rental for land and building, in the amount of RMB 3,698,610, equivalent to approximately $543,913. The Company will have received RMB 10 million, equivalent to approximately $1.5 million, from the Lessee as rent payment by the end of the 10-year lease term, which amount the Company will use to upgrade the feed facility.
By March 31, 2011, the Lessee had paid the Lessor RMB 10,000,000, equivalent to approximately $1.5 million, to PRC Yuhe as rental payment. Of this receipt, RMB 4,740,000, equivalent to approximately $721,450, was recorded as advances from customers and RMB 5,260,000, equivalent to approximately $800,597, was credited to minimum lease payments receivable.
In connection with the execution of the Agreements, Shandong Yuhe Food Group Co., Ltd., “Yuhe Group”, a PRC company based in Shandong Province, would be the guarantor of PRC Yuhe for $685,000, approximately equivalent to
RMB 4,500,000, for the first five years and for $457,000, approximately equivalent to RMB 3,000,000, for the next five years. No guarantee fee is required according to the above Agreements.
The leasing arrangement with Purina is accounted for as operating lease with the exception of the lease of equipment. The equipment leased to Purina are accounted for as direct financing lease because the equipment has an economic useful life of 10 years and the term of the equipment lease is for 10 years.
The following lists the components of the investment in direct financing as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively:

The Company produces high-quality day-old broilers supported by its know-how in the areas of feed ingredient composition, immunizations system and breeding techniques, gained through over a decade of experience.
Unless otherwise noted, all dollar figures provided herein are translated into United States Dollars from Renminbi at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
The Company’s Business Operations
The Company’s business is part of the commercial broiler supply chain.
Day-old broilers are one-day-old broilers that are sold to broiler raisers. Day-old broilers sold by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PRC Yuhe, are its primary source of revenue.
The Company purchases parent breeding chicken from grandparent breeder farms and raises them to maturity. Once these parent breeding chicken have matured, they produce hatching eggs that the Company incubates and then sells the resulting day-old broiler chicks to its customers.
Under normal circumstances, female parent breeder chicken become productive from the 26th week, and are no longer commercially productive after the 66th week. Typically a breeder is capable of producing approximately 167 eggs which will be hatched to 137 broilers over its production lifetime and the breeders are maintained by the Company for a period of 420 days. The Company sources its parent breeder chicken from licensed suppliers located in Beijing, and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces and these suppliers are required to have a vaccination certificate and a breeder production certificate for the sale of the breeders. The Company’s hatching eggs typically must be incubated for a period of 21 days. At least 28 weeks usually pass from the Company’s receipt of a day-old parent breeder to its sale of the first day-old broilers.
The Company operates in two elements of the broiler supply chain: day-old broiler production and feed production. These activities are operated under two separate subsidiaries, PRC Yuhe and Taihong, respectively.
The following is a discussion of the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The Company has consolidated the results of PRC Yuhe and Taihong into its Consolidated Financial Statements from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011 and January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010.
Net revenue.
Sales revenue amounted to $26.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $15.10 million, or 128.47%, from $11.76 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The revenue increase was driven by the increase in sales volume of the Company’s day-old broilers by 26.30 million birds, or 102.91%, from 25.56 million birds in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 51.86 million birds in the same period in 2010. The increase in sales volume of the broilers was a result of capacity expansion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and the full year 2010, as well as an increase in average unit selling price of broilers by RMB 0.29, or 9.81%, from RMB 2.91 per bird for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to RMB 3.20 per bird for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to general inflation in the first quarter of 2011 with increases in raw materials, feed cost and external eggs cost, as well as an increase in chicken prices, all of which contributed to the increase in the average unit selling price of broilers. The revenue increase of $0.76 million in retired parent breeders and by-products also contributed to the growth of sales revenue.
The
number of the Company’s customers increased by 73, or 118%, to 135 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 62 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of the Company’s marketing penetration which resulted in the fast growing sales volume.
For the breakdown of the total revenue, $25.16 million, or 93.68% of total sales, came from day-old broilers sales; $1.39 million, or 5.18% of the total sales, came from the sales of retired parent broilers, which contributed gross income of $1.36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011; $0.17 million, or 0.63% of total sales, came from sales of non-fecundated eggs; $0.11 million, or 0.42% of total sales, came from chicken dung and other business; and $0.02 million, or 0.09% of total sales, came from external feed sales of Taihong.
Cost of revenues.
The Company’s cost of revenues increased by $11.58 million, or 147.36%, to $19.43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $7.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in the cost of revenues was mainly driven by the increase in the sales volume of day-old broilers, and by an increase in unit cost of the broilers. The average unit cost of day-old broilers increased by 23.09% from RMB 2.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to RMB 2.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The average unit cost increase in day-old broilers is attributed to the increased external eggs cost and the increased feed cost. The average unit cost of external eggs increased by RMB0.51 from RMB 1.28 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to RMB 1.79 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of revenues increased by 5.52%, from 66.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 72.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Gross profit.
The Company’s gross profit increased by $3.53 million, or 90.41%, to $7.43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $3.90 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 27.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 33. 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company generally experiences an off season during the 30 to 60-day period prior to each year’s Chinese Lunar New Year. The 2011 Chinese Lunar New Year started on February 14, and most of the off season prior to the Chinese Lunar New Year occurred in January 2011. The 2010 Chinese Lunar New Year started on January 26, and most of the off season prior to the Chinese Lunar New Year occurred in December 2009. Therefore, the Company experienced a longer off season in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010, which resulted in the lower gross margin in the first quarter of 2011.
General and administrative expenses.
The general and administrative expenses increased by $0.21 million, or 25.10%, to $1.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase in the salaries of operation staffs, expenses incurred relating to the newly purchased breeder farms (including office building and facility depreciation, transportation and office expenditure) in the first quarter of 2011.
The general and administrative expenses comprised mainly of human resources and related expenses of $0.50 million, representing 48.35% of the total general and administrative expenses; auditing and advisory expenses of $0.10 million, representing 9.74% of the total general and administrative expenses; transportation costs of $0.07 million, representing 7.19% of the total general and administrative expenses; facilities and utility expenses of $0.12 million, representing 11.76% of the total general and administrative expenses; travel and administrative expenses of $0.20 million, representing 19.76% of the total general and administrative expenses; tax expenses of $0.03 million, representing 2.90% of the total general and administrative expenses. In the total general and administrative expense, the public company related expense was $0.48 million, representing 46.38% of the total general and administrative expenses.
Selling Expenses.
The Company’s selling expenses increased by $0.17 million, or 156.07%, to $0.28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.11 million for the same period in 2010. Selling expenses comprised mainly of packaging and transportation expenses of $0.23, representing 81.87% of the total selling expenses; human resources and related expenses of $0.03 million, representing 10.47% of the total selling expenses; and travel, office expenses and advertising expenses of $0.02 million, representing 7.66% of the total selling expense. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to the increase in packaging and transportation expenses as a result of the increased sales volume. The increase in packaging cost was due to higher unit cost of the packaging boxes, which rose RMB 0.19 per box, or 6%, to RMB 3.30 per box, compared to RMB 3.11 per box in the same quarter of 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, selling expenses increased by 0.12%, from 0.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, to 1.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company increased the salary for its workforce. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, the total human resources and related expenses in the first quarter of 2011 increased by $0.66 million, or 60.76%, to $1.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.09 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in human resources and related expenses was primarily related to the increased salary level and number of workers. The workers’ human resources and related expenses increased by $0.57 million, or 85.60%, to $1.23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.66 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing 6.32% and 8.43% of the total cost for revenues in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The managements’ human resources and related expenses increased by $0.08 million, or 19.45%, to $0.50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing 48.35% and 50.64% of the total general and administrative expenses in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The total amounts of human resources and related expenses increased but their relative proportion in the costs and expenses decreased.
Interest expenses.
Interest expenses increased by $77,765 to $143,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $65,950 for the same period in 2010. The increase in interest expenses was attributed to the fact that less financing interest was capitalized in construction in progress in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 than in the same period of 2010. Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $100,071 and $206,063, respectively. If the interest was not capitalized, interest expenses on bank loans would have been $243,786 and $272,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This decrease in interest expenses of $28,227 was due to the lower average interest rate of 7.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with the average interest rate of 7.80% for the same period of 2010.
Net profit.
Net profit increased by $3.14 million, or 107.36%, to $6.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $2.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company expects that its strong working capital of $32.24 million and positive cash flow of $7.61 million generated from operating activities as of March 31, 2011 will meet its working capital requirements sufficiently for the next 12 months from the date of this report. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company renewed eleven bank loans for a total amount of $11.77 million, which will expire on November 16 and November 20, 2011.
The Company has entered into a fixed annual interest rate agreement on these bank loans at a reduced rate of 7.78% and 7.23%, compared with the previous variable interest rates ranging from 7.56% to 9.83%.
