Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and shareholders of INNER MONGOLIA YONGYE BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY, LTD.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company, Ltd. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations and comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INNER MONGOLIA YONGYE BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company., Ltd. (the “Company” or “Inner Mongolia Yongye”) was formed on September 16, 2003, under the corporate laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Its primary business is to research, manufacture, and sell fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds for plant and animal feed used in the agriculture industry (the “Shengmingsu Operation”). Before December 31, 2008, the Shengmingsu Operation substantially accounted for almost 100% of the Company’s sales, cost of goods sold and expenses. The Company is located in the City of Huhhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region., the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC”). Mr. Zishen Wu, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Company, owns a controlling 91.67% of the equity interest in the Company.

In November 2007, the Company and Asia Standard Oil (“ASO”) a Hong Kong investment holding company 100% owned by Yongye International, Inc., entered into a Sino-Foreign cooperative joint venture contract (the “Contract”) to form a cooperative joint venture, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co. Ltd (“Yongye Nongfeng”), pursuant to which, the Company and ASO were to own 10% and 90% of the equity interests in Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. On January 4, 2008, the incorporation and establishment of Yongye Nongfeng was approved by the Inner Mongolia Department of Commerce and the Inner Mongolia Administration for Industry and Commerce. The commercial scope of business of Yongye Nongfeng is the distribution and sale of selected products.  The period of the cooperative joint venture is ten years and may be extended by a written application submitted to the relevant government authority for approval no less than six months prior to the expiration of the cooperative joint venture.
 
In May 2008, upon the agreement among the Company, ASO and Yongye Nongfeng, the ownership of Yongye Nongfeng was revised, pursuant to which the Company and ASO became 0.5% and 99.5% equity interest owner of Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. At the time, ASO did not fully inject its share of the capital into Yongye Nongfeng and did not do so until May 31, 2009. Based upon actual capital injection into Yongye Nongfeng, the Company and ASO were respectively 0.6% and 99.4% owners of Yongye Nongfeng as of December 31, 2008.
 
In January 2008, Yongye Nongfeng entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which Yongye Nongfeng agreed to purchase finished goods that were to be manufactured by the Company at a fixed price of RMB 350 per case for fulvic acid, plant based products and RMB 120 per case for fulvic acid, animal based products. Before signing the Agreement, the Company sold the finished goods to third parties at an average price of RMB780 per case for plant products and RMB270 per case for animal products during the year ended December 31, 2007. The term of the Agreement was for the period from January 15, 2008 to January 14, 2013. Pursuant to the Agreement, Yongye Nongfeng was able to terminate the agreement by giving one month notice to the Company. Yongye Nongfeng then sold the finished goods to third parties at an average price of RMB730 per case for plant products and RMB240 per case for animal products.
 
Yongye Nongfeng and the Company also entered into certain lease-exchange arrangements related to land-use rights, buildings and equipment (see Note 19).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) taking into consideration of the Agreement (see Note1).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH

The Company’s restricted cash is related to deposits required by bank for the bank loans obtained by the Company.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND BAD DEBT RESERVE

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at the end of the period and policy is based upon industry practice for similar companies in the PRC. Based on its assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, management makes conclusions whether any realization of losses on balances outstanding at the end of the period will be deemed uncollectible based on the age of the receivables. The Company reserves 10% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than 6 months but less than one year, 20% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding between one year and two years, 50% of receivable balances that have been outstanding between two year and three years, and 100% of receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than three years. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $46,469 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market, which takes into account historical prices on a continuing basis.

INVESTMENT UNDER COST METHOD

For investment in an entity over which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company carries the investment at cost adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and recognizes income when receiving dividends from distribution of investee’s earnings. The Company reviews the investments under cost method for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment would then become the new cost basis of the investment. No impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 
11

 

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Estimated Useful Life
Buildings
50 years
Machinery and equipment
10-20 years
Vehicles
10 years
Office equipment
5 years

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue of product sales when title has been transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is probable. The Company reports revenue net of value added taxes if applicable. If the product has expired or the package is broken at the time of receipt, the customer has the right to exchange it for a new product with intact package; and customers do not have the right to return unused, intact product to the Company after it has been delivered.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $3,532 and $15,800, respectively.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $45,486 and $0, respectively.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company follows SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Per SFAS 144, the Company is required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets and to record an impairment loss when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amounts.

In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company concluded that as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 there were no significant impairments of their long-lived assets.

Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect in the People’s Republic of China for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No differences were noted between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, respectively. Therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 25% of net income for the year ended December 31, 2008. Since the Company is located in the economic development area in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and recognized as a qualified Hi-tech Company by the Inner Mongolia Government, the Company is exempt from income tax for 10 years from the first year it obtains profit (year 2005 to 2014) according to the approval issued by Inner Mongolia Tax Bureau.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are determined using local currency (Chinese Yuan) as the functional currency. The reporting currency is the US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each year end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the authority of the federal securities law are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. This statement will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but it will change the referencing of authoritative accounting literature to conform to the Codification.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS No. 157). Effective July 1, 2009, this standard was incorporated into the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 does not require new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on applying fair value and expands required disclosures. FASB ASC 820 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, and is effective beginning in fiscal 2009, for fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No. 51. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends and clarifies FASB 141 (R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 were incorporated into the ASC Section 805, Business Combinations (FASB ASC 805) and SFAS No.160 was incorporated into the ASC Section 810, Consolidation (FASB ASC 810). FASB ASC 805 and 810 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. FASB ASC 805 will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. FASB ASC 810 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including any that arose before the effective date.   The adoption of FASB ASC 805 and FASB ASC 810 has no impact on the Company’s financial statement.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which required enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and was intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.161 and SFAS No.133 were incorporated into the ASC Section 815, Derivatives and Hedging (FASB ASC 815). FASB ASC 815 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and related hedging items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations.  SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of:  (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  The provisions of this standard do not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption FASB ASC 815 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FASB ASC 815 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.

 
14

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (FAS 159). The statement, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain others items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. This pronouncement should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SHENGMINGSU OPERATION OF INNER MONGOLIA YONGYE BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY, LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company., Ltd. (the “Company” or “Inner Mongolia Yongye”) was formed on September 16, 2003, under the corporate laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Its primary business is to research, manufacture, and sell fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds for plant and animal feed used in the agriculture industry (the “Shengmingsu Operation”). During year ending December 31, 2009, it developed a new nutrient product for plant insufflations and started to manufacture and sell it. The Company is located in the City of Huhhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region., the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC”). Mr. Zishen Wu, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Company, owns a controlling 91.67% of the equity interest in the Company.

In November 2007, the Company and Asia Standard Oil (“ASO”) a Hong Kong investment holding company 100% owned by Yongye International, Inc., entered into a Sino-Foreign cooperative joint venture contract (the “Contract”) to form a cooperative joint venture, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co. Ltd (“Yongye Nongfeng”), pursuant to which, the Company and ASO were to own 10% and 90% of the equity interests in Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. On January 4, 2008, the incorporation and establishment of Yongye Nongfeng was approved by the Inner Mongolia Department of Commerce and the Inner Mongolia Administration for Industry and Commerce. The commercial scope of business of Yongye Nongfeng is the distribution and sale of selected products.  The period of the cooperative joint venture is ten years and may be extended by a written application submitted to the relevant government authority for approval no less than six months prior to the expiration of the cooperative joint venture.
 
In May 2008, upon the agreement among the Company, ASO and Yongye Nongfeng, the ownership of Yongye Nongfeng was revised, pursuant to which the Company and ASO became 0.5% and 99.5% equity interest owner of Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. ASO fully injected its share of the capital into Yongye Nongfeng on May 31, 2009. The Company and ASO were 0.5% and 99.5% owners of Yongye Nongfeng as of September 30, 2009.
 
In January 2008, Yongye Nongfeng entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which Yongye Nongfeng agreed to purchase finished goods products that are to be manufactured by the Company at a fixed price of RMB 350 per case for fulvic acid plant based products and RMB 120 per case for fulvic acid animal based products.  Before signing the Agreement, the Company sold the finished goods to third parties at an average price of RMB780 per case for plant products and RMB270 per case for animal products during the year ended December 31, 2007. The term of the Agreement was for the period from January 15, 2008 to January 14, 2013. Pursuant to the Agreement, Yongye Nongfeng was able to terminate the agreement by giving one month notice to the Company. Yongye Nongfeng sold the finished goods to third parties at an average price of RMB730 per case for plant products and RMB240 per case for animal products.

Yongye Nongfeng and the Company also entered into certain lease-exchange arrangements related to land-use rights, buildings and equipment (see Note 18).

24

 
In March 2009, in connection with the Yongye Nonfeng Restructuring, Yongye Nongfeng purchased production equipment, vehicle and office equipment from the Company for $940,531, which represent the estimated fair value of the assets based on an appraisal by independent appraisers. On June 1, 2009, Yongye Nongfeng obtained the approval from the Ministry of Agricultural for the fertilizer license to produce fulvic acid based products, to be held under its name, which was previously held in the name of the Company. In addition, on June 1, 2009, Yongye Nongfeng purchased all of the inventories of the Company relating to fulvic acid based products for $12,258,000 in cash and the Company ceased the manufacturing and sales of the products since then. Yongye Nongfeng terminated the Agreement in July 2009.  In September 2009, Yongye Nongfeng purchased production buildings in the amount of $1,443,489 from the Company.
 
In March 2009, the Company invested $1,488,139 (RMB10,200,000) to set up a subsidiary Hubei Longshangxing Xinnongcun Fuwu Youxiangongsi and owns 51% equity interest of it. In June 2009, the Company developed a new nutrient product for plant insufflations (aeration) and started to manufacture and sell it. The set-up of new subsidiary and development of new product are not included in the Company’s “Shengmingsu Operation”. After the addition of the operation of the new subsidiary and new product, revenue from Shengmingsu Operation accounted for less than 50% of the Company for nine months ended September 30, 2009. Therefore, carve out financial statements were prepared for the Shengmingsu Operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The carve out financial statements were substantially the same with the actual financial statement of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 since the Shengmingsu Operation accounted for 100% of the Company’s business during the period, but were presented as such for comparative period purposes.
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited carve out financial statements have been prepared to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company’s Shengmingsu operation, which was acquired by Yongye Nongfeng in October 2009.
 
The unaudited carve out financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) while also taking into consideration the Agreement (see Note1). For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the unaudited carve out financial statements presented herein have been carved out of the unaudited financial statements of the Company. The assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows of the Shengmingsu Operation were carved out of the unaudited financial statements of the Company using specific identification. In the preparation of these unaudited carve out financial statements, general and administrative expenses were not identifiable as relating solely to the Shengmingsu Operation. General and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of salaries and other employee-related costs, legal and professional fees, other taxes and travel and entertainment, were allocated based on Shengmingsu Operation operating days’ proportionate share of the Company’s total operating (calendar) days for the period presented. Management believes these allocations to reasonably present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Shengmingsu Operation. However, the unaudited carve out statements of financial position, operations and cash flow may not be indicative of those that would have been realized had Shengmingsu Operation operated as an independent stand-alone entity for the period presented. Had Shengmingsu Operation operated as an independent stand-alone entity, its results could have differed significantly from those presented herein.

The accompanying unaudited carve out financial statements as of September 30, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions of Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X applicable to smaller reporting companies. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited carve out interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. Management has evaluated subsequent events through December 21, 2009, which was the date the unaudited carve out interim financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were issued.

25

 
The unaudited carve out interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 that are included in this 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the authority of the federal securities law are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. This statement will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but it will change the referencing of authoritative accounting literature to conform to the Codification.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS No. 157). Effective July 1, 2009, this standard was incorporated into the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 does not require new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on applying fair value and expands required disclosures. FASB ASC 820 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, and is effective beginning in fiscal 2009, for fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No. 51. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends and clarifies FASB 141 (R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 were incorporated into the ASC Section 805, Business Combinations (FASB ASC 805) and SFAS No.160 was incorporated into the ASC Section 810, Consolidation (FASB ASC 810). FASB ASC 805 and 810 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. FASB ASC 805 will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. FASB ASC 810 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including any that arose before the effective date.   The adoption of FASB ASC 805 and FASB ASC 810 has no impact on the Company’s financial statement.

26

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which required enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and was intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.161 and SFAS No.133 were incorporated into the ASC Section 815, Derivatives and Hedging (FASB ASC 815). FASB ASC 815 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and related hedging items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations.  SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of:  (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  The provisions of this standard do not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption FASB ASC 815 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FASB ASC 815 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (FAS 159). The statement, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain others items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. This pronouncement should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

YONGYE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
 
PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
 Basis of Presentation:
 
Yongye International, Inc (the “Company”), through its subsidiary Yongye Nongfeng, acquired certain productive assets, including equipment, the manufacturing buildings and right to use land from Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Inner Mongolia Yongye”). The consideration paid for assets acquired from Inner Mongolia Yongye (the “Yongye Assets Acquisition”) consisted of cash of $4.7 million and the transfer of the Company's 4.5% equity interests in Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Company Ltd (“Yongye Nongfeng”). The Company will account for the Yongye Assets Acquisition as a business combination under ASC 805.  Management has determined that this business combination was closed in October 2009, when all conditions precedent to the closing were met, including obtaining all the required licenses and permits from the PRC government to operate the Yongye Assets, obtaining approvals from the PRC government, and on which the Company legally transferred the equity interest in Yongye Nongfeng to Inner Mongolia Yongye.

The accompanying unaudited special-purpose, selected, Pro Forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to present the balance sheet of Yongye International, Inc. as if it would have completed Yongye Asset Acquisition on September 30, 2009. Also presented are the Income Statements of the Company for the full year of 2008 and the “stub” period of September 30, 2009 as it would have existed for those periods assuming the Yongye Asset Acquisition was completed on January 1, 2008. During the full year of 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Shengmingsu Operation accounted for 100% of Inner Mongolia Yongye’s business. These unaudited special-purpose, selected, Pro Forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the basis of specific information and assumptions available at the present time about the Yongye Assets Acquisition. In presenting this information, certain allocations were applied in cases where data is not maintained on a business-specific basis within the Company’s books and records. Therefore, the financial statements may not fully reflect the financial position or results of operations at this current point in time because of the assumptions, allocations and estimates used in the process of preparing them.
  
In order to present the true value of this business transaction, these unaudited special-purpose selected Pro forma consolidated financial statements include the selected assets, liabilities and expenses related to the business of the acquired business, Yongye Assets. The pro forma treatment of the consolidated financial statements is based on a set of assumptions whose goal is to provide clarity to investors about the impact of this transaction and how it might have impacted historical financial statements. The purpose of this presentation is to provide a snapshot of the business on a “what-if basis” to the investor for decision making purposes.
 
We have presented below unaudited selected, pro forma, consolidated financial information which gives effect to the transfer of Yongye Assets to the Company. The pro forma information is presented under the purchase method of accounting and is done so for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company would actually have been if the transfer of business had in fact occurred on the dates that we refer to below, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position of the Company for any future period or as of any date, respectively. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any restructuring costs or to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result from this transfer of business.
 
31

 
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information consisting of the consolidated balance sheet and income statement give effect to the transfer of business as described above. Such pro forma financial statements were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Such Pro forma financial statements are qualified to the extent that they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Unaudited)

 
1.
Significant Accounting Policies
 
Upon consummation of the acquisition, the Company reviewed Inner Mongolia Yongye’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, the Company is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS No. 157). Effective July 1, 2009, this standard was incorporated into the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 does not require new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on applying fair value and expands required disclosures. FASB ASC 820 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, and is effective beginning in fiscal 2009, for fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company’s fair value measurement required under FASB ASC 820 is included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment to ARB No. 51. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends and clarifies FASB 141 (R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Effective July 1, 2009, SFAS No.141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 were incorporated into the ASC Section 805, Business Combinations (FASB ASC 805) and SFAS No.160 was incorporated into the ASC Section 810, Consolidation (FASB ASC 810). FASB ASC 805 and 810 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. FASB ASC 805 will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. FASB ASC 810 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including any that arose before the effective date.   The adoption of FASB ASC 805 and FASB ASC 810 has been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
