Energroup
Holdings Corporation
Report of Registered
Independent Public Accounting Firm
We have
reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated Balance Sheets of Energroup
Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management.
We
conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on
our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Investments Consulting Co., Ltd., (“Chuming”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise
incorporated in the PRC.
The
Company’s primary business activities are the production and packing of fresh
pork and also production of processed meat products for distribution and sale to
clients throughout the PRC and Russia.
Corporate
Reorganization
PRC law
currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies. To
enable Chuming to raise equity capital from investors outside of China, it
established an offshore holding company by incorporating Precious Sheen
Investments Limited in the British Virgin Islands in May 2007. On September 26,
2007, Chuming entered into share transfer agreements with Dalian Chuming Group
Co., Ltd., under which Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. agreed to transfer
ownership of three operating subsidiaries (collectively known as “Chuming
Operating Subsidiaries”) to Chuming. On October 23, 2007, Chuming
completed all required registrations to complete the share transfer, and became
the 100% owner of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries. On November 14,
2007 the Dalian Commerce Bureau approved the transfer of Dalian Chuming Group
Co., Ltd’s 68% interest in Chuming to PSI, and upon this transfer, Chuming
became a wholly foreign owned enterprise, with PSI as the 100% owner of Chuming
(including its subsidiaries). On December 13, 2007, the PRC government
authorities issued Chuming a business license formally recognizing it as a
wholly foreign owned enterprise, of which PSI is the sole
shareholder.
The
following is a description of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries: -
A. Dalian
Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd., whose primary business
activity is acquiring, slaughtering, and packaging of pork and
cattle;
B. Dalian
Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is the
processing of raw and cooked meat products; and
C. Dalian
Chuming Sales Company Ltd., which is responsible for Chuming’s sales, marketing,
and distribution operations.

Share
Exchange Transaction
On
December 31, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of PSI in
exchange for the issuance of 16,850,000 restricted shares of our common stock to
the shareholders of PSI, which represented approximately 97.55% of the
then-issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (excluding the shares
issued in the Financing). As a result of that transaction, PSI became our wholly
owned subsidiary and we acquired the business and operations of the three
operation subsidiaries.
The share
exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of PSI where
the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and PSI
(the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. As a
result of this transaction, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of
the business of PSI.
Accordingly,
the financial data included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for all periods prior to December 31, 2007 is that of the accounting
acquirer (PSI). The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting
acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the
share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period
presented.

As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
The
consolidation of these operating subsidiaries into a newly formed holding
company i.e. “the Company” is permitted by United States GAAP: ARB51 paragraph
22 and 23.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information
available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could
differ materially from these estimates.
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
equity or debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
The
Company extends unsecured, non-interest bearing credit to its customers;
accordingly, the Company carries an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an
estimate, made by management. Management makes its estimate based on
prior experience rates and assessment of specific outstanding customer
balances. Management may extend credit to new customers who have met
the criteria of the Company’s credit policy.

Inventory
Carrying Value
|
Inventory,
consisting of raw materials in the form of livestock, work in progress, and
finished products, is stated at the lower of cost or market
value. Finished products are comprised of direct materials, direct
labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. Periodic evaluation
is made by management to identify if inventory needs to be written down because
of damage, or spoilage. Cost is computed using the weighted average
method.

Property,
Plant, and Equipment
|
Property,
Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance to
these assets are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing
the function and/or useful life are capitalized. When items are sold
or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any gains or losses arising from such transactions are
recognized.
Property
and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful life with a 5% salvage value. Their useful lives are
as follows: -

(J)
|
Construction
in Progress
|
Construction
in progress represents the direct costs of design, acquisition, and construction
of buildings, building improvements, and land improvements. These costs are
capitalized in the Construction-in-Progress account until substantially all
activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed.
At such point, the Construction-in-Progress account is closed and the
capitalized costs are transferred to their appropriate asset
classification. No depreciation is provided until the assets are
completed and ready for their intended use.
|
(K)
|
Accounting
for Impairment of Assets
|
|
The
Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as
property and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that
indicate the carrying value of the asset group may not be
recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on
the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the
expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of
the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the
carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the
difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The
measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash
flows and the fair value of long-lived
assets.

Customer
Deposits represents money the Company has received in advance for purchases of
pork and pork products. The Company considers customer deposits as a
liability until products have been shipped and revenue is earned.
The
Company collects a damage deposit (as a deterrent) recorded in Other Payable
from showcase store operators as a means of enforcing proper use of the
Company’s trademarks. These are not fees, but deposits that are
carried as current liabilities until and unless an operator violates the
Company’s policies (e.g. misuse of Company brand names, or sale of substandard
or counterfeit products, or unacceptably poor customer service), or if the
proprietor ceases to operate the showcase store. If no violations
have been committed by the showcase store operator, the deposit is returned to
the operator. The Company carries the amount of these deposits as a
current liability because the Company will return the deposit immediately to the
operator when the Company ceases to conduct business with the
operator.
Statutory
reserve refer to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with
laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital,
as approved, and, are to be used to expand production or
operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a
profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, from its earnings, an amount to
the statutory reserve to be used for future company development. Such
an appropriation is made until the reserve reaches a maximum equalling 50% of
the enterprise’s capital.

Other
Comprehensive Income
|
|
Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting
from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among
other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are
required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with
the same prominence as other financial statements. The
Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign
currency translation adjustment.
|
|
(O)
|
Recognition
of Revenue
|
Revenue
from the sale of pork products, etc., is recognized on the transfer of risks and
rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are
delivered to customers and the title has passed.
The
Company supplies pork products, equipment, uniforms, and technical support to
the proprietors of showcase stores, who are granted the right to use the
Company’s trademarks to sell pork products. Start-up fees relating to
uniforms are immaterial and are charged to the showcase store operators merely
to recoup setup costs. Any funds collected from store operators in
conjunction with initial startup and operation is minimal and
immaterial. The Company does not charge any fees for providing
equipment to the showcase stores. The Company provides equipment at
its own cost, and the Company owns all such equipment. Considering
the foregoing, the Company takes the position that any amount it receives from
the store operators is not material in accordance with Rule 5-03.1 of Regulation
S-X. In addition, since the Company does not receive any material
franchise fee revenue, SFAS 45 is not applicable.

109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to
the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC) tax laws are provided for
the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and
consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to
differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for
financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to
offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either
expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future
realization is uncertain.

The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” (“SFAS No. 128”),
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires
companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS.
Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders
divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per
share basis of potential common shares (e.g., contingent shares, convertible
securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the
beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common
shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per
share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted
EPS.)

events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date
through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that

were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In June
2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers for Financial
Assets and FASB Statement No. 167, a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46
(Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities.
Statement
166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and
will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including
securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the
risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a
“qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing
financial assets, and requires additional disclosures.
Statement
167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity
that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or
similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting
entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other
things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability
to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the
other entity’s economic performance.
On July
1, 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards
Codification” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The ASC has become the source of authoritative US
GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and
provides that all such guidance carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is
not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The ASC is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of
the above recent accounting pronouncements on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
The
restricted cash reflects funds received from the financing transaction described
in Note 18 that is held in an escrow with US Bank in the United
States. These funds are restricted until the Company has fulfilled
the following criteria: (1) the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer that meets
the approval of the investors, at such point the Company will release $1.5
million from restriction, the Company must satisfy this requirement within 90
days of the closing of the financing transaction, (2) the Company appoints a
Board of Directors that has majority of independent members, at such point $2.0
million will be released from restriction, and (3) appoint a successor auditor,
at which point $500,000 will be released from restriction. There is
$250,000 in the escrow account that has already been earmarked for investor
relations purposes.
At
September 30, 2009, the Company has yet to fulfill requirement (3). The Company
has requested bids for consideration from auditing firms that were on an
approved list submitted by, Pinnacle Fund, whom was the lead investor in the
Company’s financing transaction in December 2007, detailed in Note 18 – Financing

The
related party receivable balance detailed above, and the related transactions
that comprise that balance were integral and material to the Company’s
operations. The Company was reliant on transactions with the above
related parties in order to conduct its business normally. The
Company acknowledges that it has the responsibility to comply with paragraph c
of SFAS 57 which calls for the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the
periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change
in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding
period. The Company’s accounting system in the past was manual and
accordingly is not able to, from a cost benefit perspective, summarize and
provide further detail on the related party transactions. Also, the Company’s
current accounting department does not have sufficient staff in order to perform
and exercise to further detail the related party payables and receivables beyond
what has been provided above; however the Company is taking steps to update its
accounting systems and methods to provide fuller detail regarding these
transactions for future periods. The Company does represent that the
balances disclosed above are both accurate and reliable within acceptable
thresholds of materiality.
The
Company’s related party receivables and payables in the period presented were in
the form of either short-term loans bearing no interest, or trade payables and
receivables relating to the purchase of raw materials, supplies or products for
which payment was due within a short period of time. Management
believes that the net receivables from related parties are fully
recoverable.
Of the
$17,714,847 net receivable owed by the
Group to the Company, $4,387,504 has been securitized by bank drafts issued by
the bank on behalf of Chuming Stockbreeding Combo. Development Co., Ltd. of the
Group to the Company. These notes are collateralized by deposits at
the bank by Chuming Stockbreeding Combo. The drafts can be endorsed
and discounted to the bank for cash; however the Company currently intends to
hold these drafts until maturity.

to Consolidated Financial Statements
As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
Advertising
expenses were $163,029 and $1,546,948 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
The
Company’s different operating subsidiaries are subject to different income tax
regulations under PRC law.
The
operating subsidiary, Meat, has been given special tax-free status by the PRC
government because of the Company standing as leader in its industry in Dalian;
therefore, no provision for income tax in the PRC was made for period ended
September 30, 2009.
The
Company’s operating subsidiary, Food, has made provision for income taxes for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $1,441,418.
The
Company’s operating subsidiary, Sales, has not made provision for income tax in
2009 as it has incurred operating losses during the nine months
period.
After
adjusting for special tax-free status and net operating loss, the consolidated
taxable earnings were determined, and the results were as follows:
-
i.

|

Beginning
December 31, 2007, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries became subject to U.S.
income tax liability; however, the tax is deferred until foreign source income
is repatriated to the Company and the Company has not currently determined when
foreign source income will be repatriated. Accordingly, the company
has not made any provisions for U.S. income tax liability.
On March
16, 2007, the PRC government passed new tax legislation that repealed
preferential tax treatment for foreign investment enterprises in the PRC and
enacted new tax regulations. Under such regulations, with certain exceptions,
both domestic and foreign enterprises will be taxed at a standard enterprise
income tax rate of 25%. The Company’s two operating subsidiaries,
Food, and Sales are subject to the 25% income tax rate beginning January 1,
2008. Based on current PRC legislation, Meat should be expected to
continue benefiting from a tax holiday.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
It is
company policy to develop plant facilities based on availability of cash
resources without incurring capital commitments. Therefore, the
Company did not have any capital commitments existing at September 30,
2009.
On
December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a hog purchase agreement whereby the
Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd will provide at fair market price a minimum number
of hogs to the Company. At September 30, 2009, the Company expects

The
Company believes that the fair market price of the hogs will increase by 10%
each year. The assumption of 10% reflects that Company expectations
in regards to inflation, and the rising costs of inputs in breeding
livestock.
The
Company individually tracks the performance of its three operating subsidiaries
Meat Company, Food Company, and Sales Company. Meat Company is primarily engaged
in the slaughter and processing of pork livestock for wholesale and retail
distribution. Food Company is primarily engaged in the production of pork-based
food products, such as sausages and cured meats, for retail distribution. Sales
Company is primarily engaged in the sale and distribution of products produced
by Food Company and Meat Company.
The chief
operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. He evaluates each operating segment on the following
measures of profit or loss: gross profit, operating income, and earnings before
taxes, and net income. When he makes decisions on the strategic plans of each
operating segment, he considers the foregoing measures of profit or loss and
their impact on the overall performance of the Company as a whole.
Below is
a presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial position for
its operating subsidiaries at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods
then ended. The Company has also provided reconciling adjustments with the
Company and its intermediate holding companies Dalian Chuming Precious Sheen
Investments Consulting Ltd. (“Chuming WFOE”) and Precious Sheen Investments Ltd
(PSI).

Concentration of
Risk
|
The
Company had concentrations of risk in demand for its products because its sales
were made to a small number of customers.
The
Company is subject to concentration of supply shortage risk because it purchases
its materials for resale from a few select vendors. The Company’s availability
of supply is correlated with the few select vendors’ ability to meet the market
demand. In 2007, the entire industry in the PRC faced a shortage in
the supply of hogs.

18. Financing
Transaction
On
December 31, 2007, the Company, a Nevada corporation (“Energroup” or the
“Company”), acquired Precious Sheen Investments Ltd. (“PSI”) in a reverse
take-over transaction, by executing a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange
Agreement”) by and among Energroup, PSI, and all of the shareholders of PSI’s
issued and outstanding share capital (the “PSI Shareholders”). PSI owned 100% of
the equity in Chuming WFOE. Chuming WFOE is a holding company for the following
three operating subsidiaries: (i) Meat Company, (ii) Food Company, and (iii)
Sales Company, each of which is a limited liability company headquartered in,
and organized under the laws of, China (also referred to elsewhere as the
“Chuming Operating Subsidiaries”).
As a
result of the reverse take-over transaction, PSI’s Shareholders became
Energroup’s controlling shareholders and PSI became Energroup’s wholly-owned
subsidiary. As a result of PSI becoming Energroup’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Energroup acquired the business and operations of Chuming and the Chuming
Operating Subsidiaries.
Under the
Exchange Agreement, Energroup completed the acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of PSI through the issuance of 16,850,000 restricted shares
of common stock of Energroup to PSI’s Shareholders. Immediately prior to the
Exchange Agreement transaction, the Company had 422,756 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. Immediately after the issuance of the shares to PSI’s
Shareholders, the Company had 17,272,756 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. The 422,756 shares of PSI were cancelled and 17,272,756 shares of
Energroup were issued to reflect this reverse take-over
transaction.
Concurrently
with the Exchange Agreement, Energroup also entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Energroup agreed to issue
and sell 3,863,635 shares of its common stock to ten accredited investors for an
aggregate purchase price of $17,000,000 or $4.40 per share (the “Financing”).
The closing of the Financing coincided with the Closing of the reverse take-over
transaction.
In
connection with the sales of securities to accredited investors under the
securities purchase agreement, Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC (the “Placement
Agent”), was compensated with a commission of $1,190,000 which is equal to 7.00%
of the aggregate purchase price and a warrant to purchase the 386,364 shares of
the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.40 per
share. At December 31, 2007, the Company had adequate authorized
capital to issue common shares upon the exercise of the warrant.
At
September 30, 2009, the total number of shares outstanding, on a fully diluted
basis, is shown in the following table:

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
Concurrent
with the Company’s financing transaction, the Company agreed to register for
resale the common shares that were sold under the securities purchase
agreement. Pursuant to filing a Form S-1 registration statement with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors. The agreement calls
for liquidated damages to be paid by the Company, if in the event the
registration statement is not declared effective within 135 days of the closing
of the financing transaction. The liquidated damages will be 1% of
the total financing amount in cash per month for each month after the 135 days
period. The agreement states a maximum penalty of $1.70 million or
10% of the financing amount. At December 31, 2007, the Company accounted for the
liability under the registration rights agreement in accordance with FASB Staff
Position No. EITF 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment
Arrangements. Under such accounting treatment, the liquidated
damages are accounted for as a reduction of the proceeds. In
asserting the most conservative position, the Company has accrued the maximum
liability of $1.7 million and is carrying that balance in the accrued
liabilities account. In the event that the registration becomes effective in a
timeframe that is earlier than February 15, 2009, the portion that is not
legally owed, or in the event that investors waive any liquidating damages, the
accrual will be reversed and the funds will be added back to the Company’s
additional paid in capital.
In
connection with a make good agreement related to the financing transaction on
December 31, 2007, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Shi Huashan placed in
escrow 3,863,636 shares, which were beneficially owned by him. These
shares are to be released back to him if the Company meets the following
earnings targets of $15.9 million, and $20.9 million in after-tax net income for
the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2009 respectively. In the event that the
Company does not meet the aforementioned financial targets, the escrowed shares
will be released, on a pro-rata basis, to the investors in the financing
transaction. In accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share, for the
sake of calculating the Company’s earnings per share, the Company has accounted
for the 3,863,636 escrowed shares as contingently issuable shares as such they
are not included in the weighted average basic shares outstanding but are
included in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Please
refer to Note 16.
In
accordance with Topic 5.T of the Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB 79), the
Company expects to record a compensatory expense for the shares upon their
release from escrow. Whether the shares are released to the
accredited investors or released to Mr. Shi the Company will record an expense
with a corresponding credit to the Company’s contributed paid in
capital. The Company anticipates that compensatory expense to be
recognized in future operating periods could be in a range between $17.0 million
to $29.2 million. The Company approximates this range based on the
per share offering price of $4.40 at December 31, 2007 and a potential future
stock price of $7.57 based on a $20.0 million net income (short of the target of
$20.9 million net income) with a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.0, which is
comparable to the valuation used in the offering at December 31,
2007.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an expense for the expected
release of shares deposited in the escrow account. The Company expects that
1,931,818 shares will be released. The amount of expense recorded was
$10,622,294. The impact on earnings per share, on a basic and diluted
basis, was $0.61 and $0.50, respectively. Simultaneously, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, the Company expects that 1,448,864 shares will be
released and have recorded the expense of $12,838,043. The impact on earnings
per share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $0.75 and $0.61,
respectively.

OVERVIEW
Headquartered
in the City of Dalian, Liaoning Province of the People’s Republic of China (the
“PRC” or “China”), we are a meat processing company primarily involved in the
slaughtering, processing, packaging and distribution of pork and pork products.
We also process and sell seafood, such as minced fillet products, which
accounted for a small portion of our revenue (approximately 7.86%) in the third
quarter of 2009.
We are
the first pork producer in China to receive “Green Food” certification from
China’s Ministry of Agriculture. Green Food is an innovative certification
program unique to China that is awarded to food processors who produce using
environmentally sustainable methods and meet certain high technical standards of
quality control, safety, and product quality, and generate low levels of
pollution. The Green Food certification is based on standards defined by the
Codex Alimentarius Commission (“CAC”), a joint body of the United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. We also received
ISO 9001:2000 certification that covers our production, research and development
and sales activities.
Currently
we have a wholesale and retail distribution network and sell either directly or
indirectly across northeast China, including supermarkets and
hypermarkets.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had 732 employees, of whom 387 were operating personnel,
256 were sales personnel, 39 were research and development personnel and 50 were
administrative personnel.
Dalian
Precious Sheen Investments Consulting Co., Ltd., or Chuming WFOE, is our holding
company established in China for our three PRC operating subsidiaries,
collectively referred to elsewhere in this report as the “Chuming Operating
Subsidiaries”:
|
1.
|
Dalian
Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd. ( “Meat Company”), whose
primary business activity is acquiring, slaughtering and packaging of pork
and cattle;
|
|
2.
|
Dalian
Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd. ( “Food Company”), whose primary
business activity is the processing of raw and cooked meat products;
and
|
|
3.
|
Dalian
Chuming Sales Company Ltd. (“Sales Company”), which is responsible for our
sales, marketing and distribution
operations.
|
The
Chuming Operating Subsidiaries are spin-off constituents of a former parent
company, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., or the “Group.” Our primary business
activities are the production and packing of fresh pork and production of
processed meat products for distribution and sale to clients throughout the
PRC. Chuming WFOE was incorporated in China as a wholly foreign owned
enterprise in December 2007. Chuming WFOE is 100% owned by Precious Sheen
Investments Limited (“PSI”), a holding company established in the British Virgin
Islands in May 2007.
Pork is
widely regarded as China’s most important source of meat and is consumed at a
much higher rate than other categories of meat. We believe that increasing
levels of consumption of pork products in China is linked to the rapid
development of the Chinese economy, urbanization and strong income
growth.
Aside
from increasing aggregate consumption, based on management’s research, pork
consumption patterns in recent years have shown two main characteristics. The
first is that per capita pork is consumed at higher rates in the urban areas of
China as opposed to rural areas, although the rate of growth in these urban
consumption rates is relatively slight. The second is that consumers’
consumption preferences appear to have shifted from frozen meat to fresh meat,
and from fat meat to lean meat, with a tendency toward high quality cuts.
Management believes these trends continue to be very favorable to our business
which is based on mechanized meat processing and sales to urban
consumers.
Our
total sales volume was 82,585 metric tons in the third quarter of
2009, 27,697 metric tons in the second quarter of 2009, 18,512 metric tons in
the first quarter of 2009, 18,007 metric tons in the fourth quarter of
2008.
Due to a
shortage in supply, live hog prices rose significantly in 2008. Retail pork
prices are an important component of China’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key
inflation indicator. In order to moderate increases in the CPI and maintain the
living standard of its lower-income population, the Chinese government (as it
pertains to the pork industry) has implemented a number of policies to encourage
pork production. The average pork price has declined somewhat from
the first quarter of 2009, mainly because of perceptions arising from the
appearance of swine flu in late April and early May. In June 2009,
the Chinese government purchased and placed in storage large quantities of pork
products in order to adjust the pork price in an effort to cause it to rebound
to a reasonable level. As a result of this action, the prices of pork
have been rising since July 2009, and have risen to a level higher than the
prices seen during the first quarter of 2009. The prices are
continuing to trend higher.
In China,
the pork processing industry remains fragmented, and we believe, inefficient. As
smaller players experience pressure from margin compression and stricter
government regulations, we believe scaled pork processors, like ourselves, will
be positioned to make acquisitions on favorable terms in order to capture market
share, gain scale, secure raw material, and access more customers. We expect
that the combined factors of stricter hygiene regulations, increasing
competition from well-financed players, and struggling meat suppliers, will
induce industry consolidation in the coming years. We believe we are in a strong
position to continue to take advantage of the Chinese government’s support for
leading pork producers, these market consolidation trends, and the emerging hog
supply situation. Management believes that this is a long-term
trend.
Given the
current competitive market conditions, we constantly strive to impose strict
quality control in our products and utilize state-of-art slaughtering and
cutting lines (which are imported from Stork Co. of the Netherlands), to ensure
our product quality, increase awareness of our brand and develop customer
loyalty. Our research suggests that consumers in China are increasingly
conscious of food safety and nutrition, and they are using their purchasing
power to demand safer and higher quality food products for their
families.
We place
a very high priority on food safety and integrity. For the feeds which are used
for our hogs, we control and monitor our feed sources by acquiring feeds only
from qualified suppliers who are licensed in the nation or the province, and
then carry out comprehensive tests to ensure quality. All of our production
lines have also passed the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)
test, which is certified by Moody International Certification Ltd. Management
anticipates that companies such as ours, with quality meat processing and modern
logistics systems, will benefit as they capture market share and build consumer
brand loyalty.
Management
believes that we need to broaden our geographic sales network and diversify our
customer base. Our distribution network has been expanded to all three
northeastern provinces where we have established our branches in the cities of
Harbin and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province, and the City of Changchun, Jilin
Province. A broader customer base can not only mitigate our reliance
on certain big customers, but also bring us more opportunities. We believe a
broader market for our products can increase demand for our products, reduce our
vulnerability to market changes, and provide additional areas of growth in the
future.
Our top
five customers accounted for 35.6% for our total sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009. We plan to position our business to diversify our customer
base, which is expected to lower this percentage gradually in the
future.
Management
presently anticipates continued growth in volume of
sales. Nevertheless, our ability to meet increased customer demand
and maintain profitability will however continue to depend on factors such as
our production capacity, availability of working capital, input costs, as well
as the other factors described throughout this report.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our combined financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses
during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and
assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
While our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our
combined financial statements included in this report, we believe that the
following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully
understanding and evaluating this management discussion and
analysis:
Method
of Accounting
We
maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for
financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are
representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by us conform to
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements,
which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements, which include the Company and its
subsidiaries, are compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America. All significant inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial
statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Our
founders have directly or indirectly owned the three operating subsidiaries
since their inception. We also own two intermediary holding companies. As of
September 30, 2009, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries
are as follows:

The
consolidation of these operating subsidiaries into a newly formed holding
company i.e. “the Company” is permitted by United States GAAP: ARB51 paragraph
22 and 23.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information
available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could
differ materially from these estimates.
Accounts
Receivable
We extend
unsecured, non-interest bearing credit to our customers; accordingly, we carry
an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate, made by management.
Management makes its estimate based on prior experience rates and assessment of
specific outstanding customer balances. Management may extend credit
to new customers who have met the criteria of our revised credit
policy.
Inventory
Carrying Value
Inventory,
consisting of raw materials in the form of livestock, work in progress, and
finished products, is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished
products are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate
proportion of overhead. Periodic evaluation is made by management to identify if
inventory needs to be written down because of damage, or spoilage. Cost is
computed using the weighted average method.
Property,
Plant, and Equipment
Property,
Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance to these assets
are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing the function
and/or useful life are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or
losses arising from such transactions are recognized.
Property
and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful life with a 5% salvage value. Their useful lives are as
follows:

Use Rights
Land Use
Rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
provided over its useful life, using the straight-line method. The useful life
of the land use right is 50 years.
Customer
Deposits
Customer
Deposits represents money we have received in advance for purchases of pork and
pork products. We consider customer deposits as a liability until products have
been shipped and revenue is earned. We collect a damage deposit (as a deterrent)
recorded on other payable from showcase store operators as a means of enforcing
the proper use of our trademark. We carry the amount of these deposits as a
current liability because we will return the deposit to the operator when we
cease to conduct business with the operator.
Statutory
Reserve
Statutory
reserve refers to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with
laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital,
as approved, and, are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws
prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an
annual basis, from its earnings, an amount to the statutory reserve to be used
for future company development. Such an appropriation is made until the reserve
reaches a maximum equaling 50% of the enterprise’s registered
capital.
Earnings
Per Share
We
compute earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies
with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is
measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is
similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of
potential common shares (e.g., contingent shares, convertible securities,
options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the
periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have
an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease
loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
See Note
2(Z) to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for discussions on recently issued accounting
announcements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.

In the
third quarter of 2009, we raised our average per-kilogram sale price for
processed food products and decreased our average per-kilogram sale prices for
fresh pork and frozen pork to our customers. These changes were inline with
changes in the market price for these products. In the third quarter of 2009,
our sales volume of fresh pork, frozen pork and processed food products (by
weight) increased as compared to the third quarter of 2008, with the frozen pork
category continuing experiencing the highest growth in sales volume by weight.
We also increased our sales of fresh pork by weight in the third quarter of 2009
as compared with the same period in the prior year. For processed
food products, our sales by weight increased by 47.31%, but because of higher
per-kilogram prices, our sales revenue for this product category increased by
83.64%. Management attributes the increases in sales revenue in our product
categories to the continuing strength in consumer demand for our products in the
periods presented.
The
following table shows the change in the average price per kilogram for our
product to consumers in the quarter ending September 30, 2009, as compared to
the same quarter last year:

Although
we also sell our products through sales agents, our principal sales channels
consist of Chuming-branded showcase stores, supermarkets and restaurants and
canteens. The following table summarizes the changes in the number of
participants within these sales channels:

As shown
in the table above, as of September 30, 2009, as compared to September 30, 2008,
we significantly increased the number of participants in all three of these
sales channels. We believe the sales from supermarkets and hypermarkets are
likely to continue to yield higher profit margins. Their orders tend to be large
and stable in quantity, and they usually have better credit. The increase in the
number of these participants has resulted in increased sales
volume.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales
for the third quarter of 2009 increased by $9,991,575 or approximately 21.14%,
from $47,254,631 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $57,246,206
for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally
attributable to the concession on the sales price of the products to sales
agents on a condition that sales agent assumes marketing expenses in selling our
products, starting in the third quarter of 2008. Our cost of sales for our
various product categories in the third quarter of each of 2009 and 2008 is
summarized and shown as a percentage of overall cost of sales in the following

Our cost
of sales of fresh pork products increased by 8.29% and decreased by 3.15% as a
percentage of sales of fresh pork products, in each case as compared to the
third quarter of 2008. This change resulted principally from the concession on
the sales price of the products to sales agents on a condition that each such
sales agent assumed marketing expenses in selling our products, starting in the
third quarter of 2008. Our cost of sales of frozen pork products
increased by 80.69% and by 1.04% as a percentage of sales of frozen pork
products, in each case as compared to the third quarter of 2008, because
production and sales of this product increased over the respective periods.
During the third quarter of 2009, the cost of sales of processed food products
increased by 74.60% and decreased by 3.84% as a percentage of sales of processed
food products, in each case as compared to the same period last year.
Contributing factors to this increase of cost of sales were an increase in sales
volume of processed food products and the higher transportation and delivery
cost associated with an expanded sales range of this product period over
period.

The most
rapid increase in live pig prices occurred in the third and fourth quarters of
2007, for the highest grades of live pigs. However, live pig prices dropped from
their highs in the second quarter of 2008 and have been stable since the third
quarter of 2008. We believe that live pig prices will continue to remain stable,
or perhaps trend lower, potentially through the first quarter of 2010. We
believe this trend of lower, stable prices to be temporary.
Gross Profit. Gross profit
was $10,574,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to
$6,470,965 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $4,103,909,
or approximately 63.42%. Management attributes the increase in gross profit to
increased sales volume of all three product groups and increased pricing on
processed pork products. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.59% in
the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 12.04% for the same period in
2008.
The
following table presents our gross profit for the three months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008. The table below also shows the percentage of gross profit for

In the
third quarter of 2009, the gross profit of the fresh pork segment and frozen
pork segement increased by 46.68% and 66.16%, respectively, as compared to the
same period last year principally due to the increase in sales volume in those
two segments despite a lower per-kilogram unit price to
customers. The processed food products segment continued to yield
period over period a gross profit amount that was the highest among all the
product groups as a percentage of product group sales. Because of the
high margins and increased prices to consumers of this product, we were able
to maintain a stable amount of gross profit in dollar terms for this
product period over period.
Selling Expenses. Selling
expenses totaled $706,664 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as
compared to $878,893 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $172,229 or
19.60%. This decease is due to a reduction in our advertising expenses. We
continued to increase sales made through sales agents, who assumed certain
marketing expenses in selling our fresh pork products.
General and Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $614,806 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $734,976 for the same
period in 2008, a decrease of $120,170 or 16.35%.
This change is partially
attributable to decreased
depreciation expense.
Other income (Expense). Our
other income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest
expense. In the third quarter of 2009, we had other income totaled
$7,204. Our total other income in the third quarter of 2009 decreased
by $673,140, or 98.94% as compared to the same period in 2008. This
decrease in other income is primarily attributable to the decrease of rental
income from our frozen storage facility and the exclusion of the government
subsidy that was part of other income in prior periods.
Net Income. Net income for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,753,010 as compared to
$4,320,288 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $567,278 or 13.13%. This
decrease in net income is attributable to a compensatory expense arising from
the expected release of 1,448,864 of our shares from an escrow arrangement
entered into as part of a private equity financing consummated by us in December
2007. See note 18 of the consolidated financial statements included
in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, we raised our average per-kilogram sale
price for processed food products and decreased our average per-kilogram sale
prices for fresh pork and frozen pork to our customers. These changes were
inline with changes in the market price for these products. In the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, our sales volume of fresh pork, frozen pork and
processed food products (by weight) increased, with the frozen pork category
experiencing the highest growth in sales volume both by weight and in terms of
sales revenue. Our sales revenue for fresh pork slightly increased due to the
increase of sales volume for this product despite a reduction in the average
per-kilogram price. For processed food products, our sales by weight
increased by 11.72%, and because of higher per-kilogram prices, our sales
revenue for this product category increased by 47.71% as compared with the same
period in the prior year. Management attributes the increases in sales revenue
in our product categories to the continuing strength in consumer demand for our
products in the periods presented.
The
following table shows the change in the average price per kilogram for our
product to consumers in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to
the same period last year:

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by $ $13,286,259 or
approximately 11.04%, from $120,329,483 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 to $133,615,742 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase
was principally attributable to the concession on the sales price of the
products to sales agents on a condition that sales agent assumes marketing
expenses in selling our products, starting in the third quarter of 2008. Our
cost of sales for our various product categories in the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 is summarized and shown as a percentage of overall

Our cost
of sales of fresh pork products increased by 1.06% and increased by 0.24% as a
percentage of sales of fresh pork products, in each case as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. This change resulted principally from the
increase of the sales volume. Our cost of sales of frozen pork products
increased by 87.54% and by 1.44% as a percentage of sales of frozen pork
products, in each case as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
because production and sales of this product increased over the respective
periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the cost of sales of
processed food products increased by 44.45% but decreased by 1.67% as a
percentage of sales of processed food products, in each case as compared to the
same period last year. Contributing factors to this increase were an increase in
sales volume of processed food products and the higher transportation and
delivery cost associated with an expanded sales range of this product period
over period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit
was $23,236,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to
$19,979,735 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $3,257,197,
or approximately 16.30%. Management attributes the increase in gross profit to
strong increases in sales revenue, driven by strong demand for our products,
especially our frozen pork products, despite higher input costs and related
price increases to our customers. Our gross profit as a percentage of
sales was 14.81% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to
14.24% for the same period in 2008.
The
following table presents our gross profit for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008. The table below also shows the percentage of gross profit for

In the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the gross profit of the fresh pork segment
fell by 0.79% as compared to the same period last year principally due to lower
average-per-kilogram price to customers which offset sales volume increases in
this segment. The gross profit of the frozen pork products increased by
64.49% as compared to the same period last year primarily due to the
dramatically increase of sales volume despite the lower average per-kilogram
price to customers. The processed food products segment continued to
yield period over period a gross profit amount that was the highest among
all the product groups as a percentage of product group sales. Because of
the high margins and increased prices to consumers of this product, we were able
to maintain a stable amount of gross profit in dollar terms for this
product period over period.
Selling Expenses. Selling
expenses totaled $2,079,027 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as
compared to $3,463,947 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $1,384,920 or
39.98%. This decease is due to a reduction in our advertising expenses. We
continued to increase sales made through sales agents, who assumed certain
marketing expenses in selling our fresh pork products.
General and Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $1,885,651 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1,881,138 for the same
period in 2008, an increase of $4,513 or 0.24%. This change is primarily
attributable to increased outside legal fees and audit fees, and increased
staff, which
was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
Other income (Expense). Our
other income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest
expense. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had totaled
other income of $35,552 and we did have income of $141,834 from a government
subsidy. Our total other income in the nine months ended September
30, 2009 decreased by $1,384,508, or 97.50% as compared to the same period in
2008. This decrease in total other income is primarily attributable
to the decrease of rental income from our frozen storage facility and the
exclusion of the government subsidy that was part of other income in prior
periods.
Net Income. Net income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,719,876 as compared to
$14,176,473 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $9,456,597 or 66.71%.
This decrease in net income is attributable to a compensatory expense arising
from the expected release of 1,448,864 of our shares from an escrow arrangement
entered into as part of a private equity financing consummated by us in December
2007. See note 18 of the consolidated financial statements included
in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash
Flows
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2009
As of
September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14,670,937, other
current assets of $79,711,836 and current liabilities of $37,673,841. At
September 30, 2008, we had $5,695,798 in cash and cash
equivalents. We presently finance our operations primarily with cash
flows from our operations, and we anticipate that this will continue to be our
primary source of funds to finance our short-term cash needs. If we
require additional capital to expand or enhance our existing facilities, we will
consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowings as potential means
of financing.
Net cash
sourced in operating activities was $881,330 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, while net cash flow used in operating activities was $307,586 in the
same period of 2008. This is primarily attributable to the increase in
gross profits of our products.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $3,932,762 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, compared to cash used in investing activities of $1,638,371 in the
same period of 2008. This change is primarily due to amounts used for
improvements for one of our fresh food plants in the nine months ended September
30, 2009.
Net cash
sourced from financing activities was $10,253,095 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of
$964,516 in the same period of 2008. This increase resulted
principally from an increase in our borrowings from banks during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of
2008.
Capital
Commitments
In the
first quarter of 2008, we relaxed our credit policy for certain of our major
customers, permitting them up to a two-month grace period for payment for goods,
where previously no such grace period was provided. Management expects that in
the short term, this revised credit policy will result in an increase in
accounts receivable, and a corresponding reduction in our cash position.
Management does not anticipate that this change in our credit policy will result
in any deficiency of working capital.
Uses
of Liquidity
Our cash
requirements through the end of fiscal 2009 will be primarily to fund daily
operations for the growth of our business. Management will consider acquiring
additional manufacturing capacity for processed foods in the future to
strengthen and stabilize our manufacturing base.
Sources
of Liquidity
Our
primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be
from cash flows generated from operations and cash and cash equivalents
currently on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if
needed.
We
believe our cash flow from operations together with our cash and cash
equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working
capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through the end of 2009. For
our long-term cash needs, we may consider a number of alternative financing
opportunities, which may include debt and equity financing. No assurance can be
made that such financing will be available to us, and adequate funds may not be
available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing shareholders may result. If
funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance
our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from
operations.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $6,435,007 in aggregate borrowings from
the Bank of China under two loans, in the principal amounts of $4,387,504 and
$2,047,503, on which we pay interest at rates of 6.1586% and 7.3260% per annum
respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $4,387,504
in borrowings from the Bank of Huaxia under one loan, on which we pay interest
at a rate of 6.732% per annum. As of September 30, 2009, we had
outstanding $5,850,006 in borrowings from Shanghai Pufa Development Bank under
one loan, on which we pay interest at a rate of 5.841% per annum. As
of September 30, 2009, we did not have any standby letters of credit or standby
repurchase obligations.
Foreign
Currency Translation Risk
Our
operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, and we earn our revenue
in Chinese RMB. However, we report our financial results in U.S. Dollars using
the closing rate method. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rates between
Chinese RMB and the U.S. Dollar will affect our reported financial results. The
balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at
the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are
translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the
transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. All exchange differences are recorded within
equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 was $1,773,476, which was a gain; and for the nine months
ended September 30 of 2008, $550,999 as a gain.
During
2003 and 2004 the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26
RMB to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the
exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB to the dollar. In 2009, the RMB continued to
appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2009, the market foreign
exchanges rate was increased to 6.8376 RMB to one U.S. dollar. As a result, the
ongoing appreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar negatively impacted our gross margins
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual
Obligations
We have
certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future
estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions,
changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments
differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing
and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most
significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the
tables in order to assist in the review of this information within the context
of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.
The
following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009,
and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash
flows in future periods.

As
indicated in the table, as of September 30, 2009 we had $188,033,052 in purchase
obligations, which relates to our agreement for the purchase and sale of
hogs. On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a hog purchase
agreement whereby the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd will provide at fair market
price a minimum number of hogs to the Company. At September
30, 2009, the Company expects minimum quantities of hogs detailed in the
following table:

The
Company believes that the fair market price of the hogs will increase by 10%
each year. The assumption of 10% reflects the Company’s expectations
in regards to inflation, and the rising costs of inputs in breeding
livestock.
Off-balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into
any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development
services with us.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
We do not
use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no
foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term
obligations. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with
a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. However, in order to manage the foreign exchange risks, we may
engage in hedging activities to manage our financial exposure related to
currency exchange fluctuation. In these hedging activities, we might use
fixed-price, forward, futures, financial swaps and option contracts traded in
the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges, as well as long-term structured
transactions when feasible.
Interest
Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus,
fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair
value of these securities. At September 30, 2009, we had approximately
$14,670,937 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 10% increase or
decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or
loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.
Foreign
Exchange Rates. All of our sales and inputs are transacted in Renminbi (“RMB”).
As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our
reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results are translated into
U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. However, since we conduct our sales and
purchase inputs in RMB, fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to
significantly affect our financial stability or gross and net profit margins. We
do not currently expect to incur significant foreign exchange gains or losses,
or gains or losses associated with any foreign operations.
Our
exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses
resulting from timing differences between the signing of sales contracts and the
settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of
our operating business. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated
at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are
translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China
at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of
stockholders’ equity. We recorded net foreign currency gains of $1,773,476 and
$550,999 in the nine months ended September of 2009 and 2008, respectively. We
have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our
exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of
future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net
foreign currency losses in the future. As our sales denominated in foreign
currencies, such as RMB, continue to grow, we may consider using arrangements to
hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
Our
financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, but the functional currency
of our operating subsidiaries is RMB. The value of an investment in our stock
will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. A
decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar
equivalent amounts of our financial results, the value of an investment in our
company and the dividends we may pay in the future, if any, all of which may
have a material adverse effect on the price of our stock.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed 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 its chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
As of
September 30, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and
our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
