ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Business Overview

We are a holding company and conduct all our operations through our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Longheda, which is a leading producer of premium specialty fruit-based products in China. We develop, process, market and distribute a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, including golden berries, crab apple, blueberries and raspberries. Our products include fruit concentrate, nectar, and glazed fruits as well as fresh fruits.

We sell our products through an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network covering 20 provinces and 47 cities in China. As of March 31, 2010, this network was comprised of 75 distributors. Our processed fruit products are mainly sold to food producers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related foods, and our fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets.

1


Our manufacturing facility is located in Daqing City and Mu Dan Jiang City, Heilongjiang Province, China where abundant supply of various premium specialty fruits is readily available. We have five fruit processing lines with an aggregate capacity of 17,160 tons.

Our sales revenue grew by 29.2% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to $72.9 million from $56.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Net income increase by 326.1% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to $19.3 million from $4.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our gross margin for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was 45.6% .

Corporate History and Structure

We are a Nevada holding company and conduct substantially all of our business in China through our operating subsidiary, Longheda. We indirectly own all of the equity in Longheda as a result of our 100% ownership of Fezdale and Fezdale’s intermediate ownership of Solar Sun. Both Fezdale and Solar Sun are intermediate holding companies and have no other significant assets and operations. Longheda was incorporated in China in 2004. Subsequently, in a series of transactions between 2007 and 2008, Solar Sun acquired 100% ownership of Longheda. Jumbo Gloss is a private limited liability company that was established on October 13, 2009 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As of the date of this Report, Jumbo Gloss has no business operations.

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this report.


We were originally incorporated in the State of Utah on April 22, 1983 under the name Portofino Investment, Inc. In January 1984, we changed our name to Fashion Tech International, Inc. In April 1999, our stockholders approved a merger with Fashion Tech International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to change the domicile of the Company from Utah to Nevada.

We were a developmental-stage company from inception to January 1, 1984, when we became the holding company of certain operating or development-stage subsidiaries. From April 1, 1985 to August 14, 2008, we re-entered development-stage status.

On August 14, 2008, we acquired Fezdale in a reverse acquisition transaction, which involved a financing transaction and a related share exchange transaction whereby all of our current business operations were acquired by Fezdale. In the share exchange transaction, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fezdale were exchanged for 30,166,878 shares of our common stock, thereby making the existing stockholders of Fezdale owners of 83.5% of our stock and also making Fezdale our wholly owned subsidiary. In the related financing transaction, we completed a private placement in which we sold 3,085,840 newly issued shares of our common stock for $8.58 million.

Our Industry

According to a report on China’s fruit processing industry issued by Beijing Business & Intelligence Consulting Co. Ltd. (“BBIC,” and such report is hereinafter referred to as the “BBIC Report”), an independent market research firm, China’s fruit processing industry has grown significantly in the past several years. The total output of processed fruit products in China grew from $16.8 billion in 2005 to $49.7 billion in 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 31.15% . The sales value of processed fruit products in China grew from $17.0 billion in 2005 to $47.0 billion in 2009, representing a CAGR of 28.95% . The following table sets forth the output and CAGR of four categories of processed fruit products.

We anticipate that growth in China’s fruit processing industry, especially, the premium specialty fruit-based products, will mainly be driven by the following factors:

The low per capita rate of fruit consumption in China. With approximately a quarter of the world’s population, China represents a key growth driver for the global fruit food market. Even though China is the largest producer of apples, third largest producer of oranges, and one of the top producers of pears and peaches in the world, per capita fruit juice consumption in China is currently well below that of major developed countries according to Euromonitor.

Growing affluence fosters increased consummation of processed fruit products. China’s economy has grown significantly in recent years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (the “NBS”), China’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) has increased from RMB12.0 trillion ($1.6 trillion) in 2002 to RMB33.5 trillion ($4.9 trillion) in 2007. According to a report issued by the World Bank in March 2010, it is estimated that China’s GDP will grow at an annual growth rate of 9.5% in 2010. China’s economic growth has resulted in a significant increase in household disposable income in China. According to the NBS, between 2002 and 2009, urban household disposable income per capita increased from RMB7,703 ($1,055) to RMB17,175 ($2,512), or a CAGR of 12.1%, and rural per capita cash income increased from RMB2,476 ($339) to RMB5,153 ($754), or a CAGR of 11.0% . We believe that as GDP and disposable income increase, processed fruit products will become more affordable and consumers will generally spend an increasing portion of their disposable income on healthy nutritional products, such as our premium specialty fruit-based products.

3


Greater health awareness is expected to affect consumption of fruit and processed fruit products. We believe that improved living standards and growing household disposable income have led to greater health awareness among the population. As people become more affluent, we believe that their spending on quality health food and nutritional products, like our products, will increase. The juice beverage market in China continued growing steadily in 2009 as the growth in urban population and disposable income continued to drive demand for natural and healthy beverage products. According to the BBIC Report, the world fruit juice consumption is expected to increase from 33 billion liters in 1997 to 74 billion liter in 2020.

Government aims to promote the growth of China’s fruit processing industry. According to the BBIC Report, approximately 20-30% of fruit grown in China is lost, less than 50% of the total harvested fruit can be commercialized, and less than 10% of the total commercialized fruit is processed. We believe that the Chinese government will promote the development of the fruit and fruit processing industry, as evidenced by the “Development Program of Food Processing Industry 2006-2010” report issued by the PRC Ministry of Agriculture (“MOA”). The MOA aims to increase the fruit processing ratio to 10%-15% and the fruit commercialization ratio to above 60%, and to reduce the lost fruit ratio to 10%-15% by 2010. We believe the government’s five year plan will further facilitate the growth of the fruit processing industry in China.

Our Products

Our primary product offering includes fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits and beverages as well as fresh fruits. We are also in the process of developing several new products.

The following charts set forth our products categorized by both products and source fruits type in terms of revenue for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009:

Product Mix – By Product

Product Mix – By Fruit Type

5


Fruit Concentrate

Fruit concentrate is our primary product line, accounting for approximately 47.5% and 51.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. We currently produce four types of fruit concentrate: golden berry, crab apple, blueberry and raspberry. We currently have two concentrate production lines which are allocated for the production of all of four types of concentrates with an annual total production capacity of 9,960 tons. We plan to continue to focus on fruit concentrate which is our fastest growing product line with greatest market demand. To achieve this end, we plan to add one more fruit concentrate juice production line with a production capacity of 6,000 tons in fiscal year 2011.

Among the four types of concentrate, raspberry concentrate has the highest gross margin and crab apple concentrate occupies most of our production capacity even though it has a lower gross margin. We produce more crab apple concentrate despite its relatively lower gross margin mainly because of the high demand for crab apple products and abundant supply of fresh crab apples which has the largest supply in Northeast China as compared to the other three source fruits.

Crab apple is a special species of apple which has much higher acidity than normal species of apple. The apple concentrate produced in China commonly has an acidity of 1.2 to 1.8 while crab apple concentrate typically has acidity over 3.2. The only way to raise the acidity of apple concentrate is to mix it with another apple concentrate with higher acidity. Since the apple concentrates that are exported from China to overseas market are usually required to have an acidity of no less 2.0, the local producers of apple concentrate need large quantity of high acidity apple concentrate to add to its low acidity apple concentrate. Therefore, crab apple concentrate is in high demand in the market.

Nectar

Our nectar product line accounted for approximately 9.5% and 13.2% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Nectar is an unfermented and unconcentrated pulp product. To produce nectar, fresh fruits are crushed and then instantaneously sterilized under high temperature without adding any additives other than citric acid. It preserves the nutrition and flavor of the fresh fruit to the greatest extent and has a long shelf life. Nectar is easy to store and transport, and thus providing the producers of fresh fruit based products a much better alternative material than fresh fruit.

We currently produce and sell nectar products using only golden berries. Our nectar products are commonly re-processed into a wide variety of products, including fruit concentrate, fruit ice cream, nectar beverage, biscuits, fruit jam and fruit yogurt. Our nectar products were certified as green food by China Green Food Development Center in May 2006.

Glazed Fruits

Our glazed fruits product line accounted for approximately 22.8% and 10.9% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Glazed fruit is preserved fruit with high sugar content and is a popular, traditional Chinese food. Glazed fruits have a long shelf life and are commonly consumed as snacks.

We currently produce and sell our glazed fruits products using golden berries and blueberries. We launched our glazed blueberry products in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 which were well received by our customers. In December 2009, we added a new glazed fruits production line with an annual production capacity of 1,200 tons in our Daqing factory which increased our total annual production capacity of glazed fruit products to 2,400 tons. Our glazed fruits are mainly sold as a premium snack. Due to the special taste of our golden berries and blueberries, our products are also commonly used in a wide variety of foods such as baked foods. Our glazed golden berry fruit products were certified as green food by China Green Food Development Center in May 2006.

Fresh Fruit

Sales from fresh golden berries accounted for approximately 3.0% and 4.3% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. We sell fresh golden berries to our distributors during the picking season which is typically mid July to mid November every year. We purchase fresh golden berries from local farmers in Heilongjiang province and sort them into different grades. Only the top-grade golden berries that are freshest and have the best color, shape and aroma are sold as fresh fruit. The rest of the fresh golden berries are further processed into glazed fruits, nectar or concentrate.

6


Golden berries are especially difficult to preserve and usually perish within one week after harvest. To achieve longer shelf life, we keep the fresh fruit in ice houses before we pack them with preservative packing. With these measures, our products can generally remain fresh after long distance transportation and have at least one week longer of shelf life than other similar products in the market.

Beverage and others

Beverage

Beverages accounted for approximately 4.2% and 8.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Beverage products usually require large capital for advertising and special sales and marketing efforts. We decided to cease beverage production in March 2010 and believe that we will be more profitable by focusing on our primary high-end premium products.

Others

Since fiscal year 2008, due to demand from our distributors, we started to distribute apple concentrate pulp products and pear concentrate pulp products. These concentrate products are processed by third party vendors according to our technical requirements and standards. Sales from other products contributed approximately 12.9% and 12.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

New products under development

We plan to further diversify our product mix to cater to different customer tastes and preferences. We are currently developing glazed blackcurrant and seabuckthorn which are expected to be completed in fiscal year 2011.

Production

Production Facility

Our primary production facility is located in Daqing, Heilongjiang province, which started production in 2004. The facility is located on a 24,217-square-meter tract where we have land use rights until May 2055 and encompasses approximately 5,998 square meters of plant and warehouse space. We built another processing facility in Mu Dan Jiang, Helongjiang province in August 2008 where a 6,000 tons concentrate juice production line is located.

We currently own and operate five fruit processing lines with an aggregate processing capacity of 17,160 tons. The average utilization rate of our fruit processing lines was approximately 94.7% in fiscal year 2010. Since fresh fruits are difficult to preserve in the hot season, we generally keep no inventory of fresh fruits during production. We believe the current utilization rate of the fruit processing lines is the highest rate we can achieve while maintaining no inventory. Our production is mainly conducted from mid July to mid November each year because our primary source fruits are typically harvested during that time and must be processed right away.

To meet the expected growth of our business and to broaden our product portfolio, we are currently building a new fruit and vegetable powder manufacturing facility with an expected annual production capacity of 10,000 tons in Daqing. The new facility is funded by proceeds from our preferred stock offering in 2009 and is expected to begin production in approximately September 2010. The new facility will produce tomato, pumpkin and other popular fruit and vegetable powders that can be used as ingredients in a variety of products, including baby food, ready-to-drink mixes, instant soup mixes, snacks and other confectionery items. We plan to leverage our established supplier relationship and distributor network to cross sell our new fruit and vegetable powder products.

We are also currently upgrading all fruit concentrate production lines at our facilities in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang, which have a total fruit concentrate annual production capacity of 9,960 tons. The upgrades include purchase of additional equipments and implementation of more advanced production techniques. We expect the upgrading will result in more efficient use of raw materials and have a favorable impact on gross margin. We expect the upgrading to be completed before July 2010.

Production Process

The processing of our fruit concentrate, nectar and glazed fruits begins with the collection of fresh fruits from fruit farmers. Fresh fruits are first sorted and washed after arriving in our facility. Clean fresh fruits then go through the following processes to be made into different products.

  • Nectar: crush fresh fruits into tiny granules – beat crushed fruits into raw nectar – homogenize raw nectar in a blending tank – pasteurize and sterilize the raw nectar – fill aseptic bags with sterilized nectar.

  • Fruit concentrate: crush and beat fresh fruits into mashes – press fruit mashes until fruit juice comes out – mix raw fruit juice with proper amount of compound enzyme to remove pectin and starch – filter concentrate fruit juice in three-way concentrators to achieve the target content of soluble solids, acidity and other quality standards as well as no additives – fill the aseptic bags with concentrates.

  • Concentrate pulp: crush and beat fresh fruits into mashes – mix raw fruit pulp – filter concentrate pulp in three-way concentrators to achieve the target content of soluble solids, acidity and other quality standards as well as no additives – fill the aseptic bags with concentrate pulp.

  • Glazed fruits: separate fresh fruits into different grades – go through needling machine to get the fruits needled at the surface – blanch needled fruits in a blanching boiler – evacuate the air from fruits – soak evacuated fruits in sugar solution in a sugaring tank – bake sugared fruits in a group of tunnel dryers.

Quality Control

We place primary importance on quality. Our production facility has ISO 9001 and HACCP series qualifications. We have established quality control and food safety management system for the purchase of raw materials, fruit processing, packaging, storage and distribution. We have also adopted internal quality standards that we believe are stricter than the standards mandated by the PRC government. We have a 16-person quality control team to closely monitor and test the quality of our products to ensure compliance with these standards.

High quality raw materials are crucial to the production of quality fruit products. Therefore, we rigorously examine and test fresh fruits arriving at our plant. Any fruits that fail to meet our quality standard will be rejected. We perform routine product inspection and sample testing at our production facility and adhere to strict hygiene standards. For example, every employee involved in production is required to change into specially made clothes, wear working caps and shoes. No one is allowed to enter our production room unless he or she is directly involved in the production process.

All of our products undergo inspection at each stage of the production process, as well as post production inspection and final checking before distribution for sales. Products in storage or in the course of distribution are also subject to regular quality testing.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Raw Materials

Our business depends on maintaining a regular, timely and adequate supply of high-quality fresh fruits, which accounted for approximately 74% of our cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. Our facility is strategically located in Heilongjiang province, where abundant supply of source fruits is available. The close proximity of our facility to the orchards enables us to purchase fresh fruits at a lower cost. Our other raw materials mainly include packing materials (e.g. aseptic bags) and auxiliary processing materials (e.g. sugar and additives) that are widely available.

Suppliers and Supply Arrangements

We employ different procurement strategies to support our rapid growth based on the source fruit type. We coordinate primarily with the local government for the supply of golden berries and rely on a large group of vendors for the supply of other source fruits.

8


Golden berries in Heilongjiang are mainly grown in four fruit farms. We estimate that the annual output of golden berries at these four fruit farms is approximately 100,000 tons, which accounts for approximately 50% of the total output of golden berries in Heilongjiang province. Our processing volume of golden berries (including those sold as fresh fruits) in fiscal year 2010 was approximately 33,000 tons. We currently purchase a majority of our golden berries from two of these fruit farms -- Hailun and Nehe. It is costly and inefficient to purchase fresh fruits from each individual farmer so we coordinate with the local governments which plan and coordinate the overall fruit planting activities of individual farmers.

We normally sign written agreements with the local governments of Hailun and Nehe at the beginning of each year, which generally have a one-year term. The agreement typically sets forth the total quantity of golden berries to be purchased by us and a predetermined minimum price. The local governments deliver the demand information to individual farmers and coordinate corresponding growth and harvesting activities. In the picking season, we submit our daily request of golden berries to the local governments, who then instruct the farmers to deliver fresh fruits to our plant on a timely basis. The final purchase price is based on the prevailing market price, subject to a predetermined minimum price. This arrangement cuts down our procurement costs significantly and allows the local governments to protect and maximize the interests of constituent farmers.

We purchase other source fruits, including blueberries, crab apples and raspberries, directly from vendors as there is no centralized farm base for these fruits. As an alternative, we have developed a large group of agents who purchase fruits from the local farmers and then re-sell them to us. Our sourcing staff maintains close communication with our agents to ensure their efficiency and loyalty. Our sourcing staff also spends a lot of time to keep developing new agents in the planting area of these fruits. We believe we have established an effective and loyal group of agents who are able to provide us with sufficient fresh fruits to support our growth.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

Sales and Distribution

We currently sell our products directly to 75 regional distributors across 20 provinces and 47 cities in China who then sell the products to various customers, including food processors, supermarkets and wholesale stores. As of March 31, 2010, our sales team consisted of 18 employees. We divide the national market into six regions and assign each region a sales team. Northern China is currently our biggest market, accounting for approximately 52% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2010.

We generally require our distributors to pay the full purchase price in cash before we deliver the products. We also offer credit for our products to selected existing distributors with long-term business relationships and excellent credit records. The credit term is generally up to 45 days. We utilize different pricing policies based on the type of source fruit. For instance, the price of our golden berry products is set based on raw material costs to ensure stable profit margin. We believe that we are the largest golden berry processor in China and the only processor in Northeast China which allows us to have strong pricing power. For products based on other source fruits, we price our products at the prevailing market price.

Distributors normally have distribution rights to sell our products within a defined territory. We typically enter into a one-year contract with each of our distributors at the beginning of the year. The contract generally requires a 15-day notice of the purchase amount prior to the required delivery date. We have the right to supervise and monitor distributors’ sale of our products. We generally have a no return policy. According to our standard distribution agreement, we are liable for any loss resulted from a quality problem only if the distributor provides certification from relevant authorities. However, distributors will bear any losses caused by their negligence in the storage of the products. We offer no sales rebates or rewards to our distributors.

We believe we maintain stable relationships with our distributors, and many of them have been our distributors for more than three years. Our top ten distributors accounted for approximately 64.6% and 53.9% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2010 and 2009, respectively. The biggest distributor accounted for approximately 13.5% and 9.2% for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. In fiscal year 2010, our two biggest distributors Laiyang Yitian Fruit Juice Company Limited and Beijing Huanpenyuan Food Company Limited accounted for approximately 13.5% and 11.3% of our total revenue, respectively.

Marketing

As of March 31, 2010, we have seven marketing personnel in our department who are responsible for market research, promotion and advertisement. We strengthen our market presence through various types of market campaigns. We participate in several domestic and international trade fairs, such as China National Sugar and Alcoholic Commodities Fair and International China Harbin Fair for Trade and Economic Cooperation. These trade fairs help to promote our reputation and name recognition in the industry.

Our Competition

Since we process premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, we face little direct competition from the processors of common fruits or broad-based food processors. Our main competitors are local fruit processors that offer products similar to ours. Most of our competitors are small-sized local processors that process only one or two types of specialty fruits. Compared to these competitors, we believe we have more diversified products, higher production capacity and greater resources. Our major competitors in China include Dalian Xinlian Food Company, Shandong Longkou Fudi Food Co. Ltd., Zhalantun Changzheng Beverage Factory and Muxing Quick Frozen Food Factory.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities focus on new product development for new premium specialty fruits and quality improvement. We currently have five employees dedicated to research and development. We also cooperate with Heilongjiang Ba Yi Land Reclamation University (“HLAU”), an agriculture university in China. Since 2004, our company and HLAU have jointly developed six new products, four of which are now our principal products. On March 7, 2008, we entered into a technology cooperation agreement with HLAU to develop several new products, including glazed blueberry, blackcurrant concentrate, seabuckthorn concentrate and golden berry extracts. Under the agreement, we will provide a total amount of approximately $25,670 (RMB 180,000) to HLAU for the development of the new products and all intellectual property rights of the new products belong to our company. During the year, we have successfully developed the glazed blueberry, blackcurrant concentrate and seabuckthorn concentrate. We are currently developing glazed blackcurrant and seabuckthorn which is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2011.

Newly developed products will be put into production and commercialized when certain criteria are met, including: market demand is material, adequate supplies of raw material are secured to allow for efficient mass production, and production capacity is in place.

Intellectual Property

All of our product formulations are proprietary. We have not registered or applied for protections in China for most of our intellectual property or proprietary technologies relating to the formulations of our products. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.” Although we believe that, as of today, patents and copyrights have not been essential to maintaining our competitive market position, we intend to assess appropriate occasions in the future for seeking patent and copyright protections for those aspects of our business that provide significant competitive advantages.

We sell our fruit concentrate, glazed fruit and nectar products under the brand of “农珍之冠 ”. Our chairman Changjun Yu transferred the trademark for “农珍之冠 ” in both class 29 and class 32 to our company which was approved by the Trademark Office of the State of Administration for Industry and Commerce of China in March 2009. The trademark expires in 2018.

We rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary information and know-how. Our management and each of our research and development personnel have entered into a standard annual employment contract, which includes a confidentiality clause and a clause acknowledging that all inventions, designs, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated by them on our behalf are our property, and assigning to us any ownership rights that they may claim in those works. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use, without our consent, intellectual property that we own or are licensed to use. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business. See Item 1A, “Risk factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.”

Regulation

Because our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC, we are regulated by the national and local laws of the PRC. The food industry, of which fruit based products form a part, is subject to extensive regulation in China. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant PRC regulations governing our business in China.

We are also subject to the PRC’s foreign currency regulations. The PRC government has controlled Renminbi reserves primarily through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into other foreign currencies. Although foreign currencies, which are required for “current account” transactions, can be bought freely at authorized PRC banks, the proper procedural requirements prescribed by PRC law must be met. At the same time, PRC companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange earnings to authorized PRC banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the PRC government.

Food Hygiene and Safety Laws and Regulations

As a producer of food products in China, we are subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations governing food safety and hygiene, including:

  • the PRC Product Quality Law;

  • the PRC Food Hygiene Law;

  • the Implementation Rules on the Administration and Supervision of Quality and Safety in Food Producing and Processing Enterprises (trail implementation);

  • the Regulation on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products;

  • the General Measure on Food Quality Safety Market Access Examination;

  • the General Standards for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods;

  • the Standardization Law;

  • the Regulation on Hygiene Administration of Food Additive;

  • the Regulation on Administration of Bar Code of Merchandise; and

  • the PRC Metrology Law.

These laws and regulations set out safety and hygiene standards and requirements for various aspects of food production, such as the use of additives, production, packaging, handling, labeling and storage, as well as facilities and equipment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in confiscation of our products and proceeds from the sales of non-compliant products, destruction of our products and inventory, fines, suspension of production and operations, product recalls, revocation of licenses, and, in extreme cases, criminal liability.

Environmental Regulations

We are subject to various governmental regulations related to environmental protection. The major environmental regulations applicable to us include:

  • the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution;

  • Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution;

  • Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution; and

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution.

We have obtained all permits and licenses required for production of our products and believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

11


Environmental Matters

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to various pollution control regulations with respect to noise, water and air pollution and the disposal of waste and hazardous materials. We are also subject to periodic inspections by local environmental protection authorities. We believe we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC environmental laws and regulations and are not currently subject to any pending actions alleging any violations of applicable PRC environmental laws.

Our Employees

As of March 31, 2010, we employed a total of 575 full-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our employees by function.

Department   Number of Employees
Senior Management   12
Human Resources & Administration   63
Production   407
Procurement   3
Marketing   7
Sales   18
Logistic   36
Research & Development   5
Quality Control   16
Accounting   8
TOTAL   575

Our employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages.

We are required under PRC law to make contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the after-tax profit. In addition, we are required by the PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. We believe that we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

Seasonality

As is typical in the fruit processing industry, we experience seasonality in our business. Our fruit processing lines are mainly carried out from mid July to mid November each year because our primary source fruits are typically harvested during that period and must be processed right away. As a result of seasonality in production, our personnel, working capital requirements, cash flow and inventories vary substantially throughout the year. In fiscal year 2010, sales during the second, third and forth fiscal quarters accounted for approximately 26.5%, 24.4% and 36.2% of our total sales revenue respectively. Generally we experience lesser sales in the first fiscal quarter because of lower demand and decreased inventory levels.

Insurance

We have property insurance for our facility located in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang City. We believe our insurance coverage is customary and standard for companies of comparable size in comparable industries in China.

We do not have any business liability, interruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, we are subject to business and product liability exposure. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We have limited insurance coverage and do not carry any business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or insurance that covers the risk of loss of our products in shipment.”

12


Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we conduct all of our operations in China and are governed by a legal and regulatory environment that in some respects differs significantly from the environment that may prevail in the U.S. and other countries. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results will suffer, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

The recent financial crisis could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

While the financial crisis has stabilized in China, the global economy remains precarious and faces many challenges, which affect our business in a variety of ways. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, these economic conditions also impact levels of consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Consumer purchases of discretionary items generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. If demand for our products fluctuates as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our revenue and gross margin could be harmed.

Any ill effects, product liability claims, recalls, adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular fruits we use as raw materials, our products or our industry in general could harm our sales and cause consumers to avoid our products.

The food industry is subject to risks posed by food spoilage and contamination, product tampering, product recall, and consumer product liability claims. Our operations could be impacted by both genuine and fictitious claims regarding our and our competitors’ products. In the event of product contamination or tampering, we may need to recall some of our products. A widespread product recall could result in significant loss due to the cost of conducting a product recall including destruction of inventory and the loss of sales resulting from the unavailability of the product for a period of time.

In addition, any adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular fruits we use as raw materials, our products, our actions relating to our products, or our industry in general could result in a substantial drop in demand for our products. This negative public perception may include publicity regarding the safety or quality of particular fruits we use as raw materials or products in general, of other companies or of our products specifically. Negative public perception may also arise from regulatory investigations or product liability claims, regardless of whether those investigations involve us or whether any product liability claim is successful against us. We could also suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against us. Either a significant product recall or a product liability judgment, involving either our company or our competitors, could also result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products or the food category, and an actual or perceived loss of value of our brands, materially impacting consumer demand.

Any fluctuations in raw material supply and prices may negatively impact our revenue.

A secure supply of principal raw materials is crucial to our operation. Fresh fruits accounted for approximately 74% of our cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. The per unit costs of producing our products are subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, especially fresh fruits which are affected by factors such as weather, growing condition and pest that are beyond our control. According to the BBIC Report, approximately 20-30% of fruit grown in China is lost. Historically, we have been able to meet our fresh fruit supply needs by building our processing facilities in close proximity to orchards and by collaborating with local government and establishing an effective group of vendors. Increases in the price of fresh fruits would negatively impact our gross margins if we are not able to offset such price increases through increases in our selling price or changes in our product mix.

13


If we cannot maintain a consistent and cost-effective supply of source fruits, our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects will deteriorate.

The availability, size, quality and cost of source fruits for the production of our products are subject to operational risks inherent to farming, such as crop size, quality, and yield fluctuation caused by poor weather and growing conditions, pest and disease problems, and other factors beyond our control. These and other operational risks could cause significant fluctuations in the availability and cost of the source fruits we use as raw materials. The prices of our fresh source fruits and other raw materials are generally determined by the market, and may change at any time. Increases in prices for any of these raw materials could have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve profitability.

Currently, we source our fresh golden berries primarily from two fruit farms pursuant to cooperation agreements with local governments and other fruits from agents who procure fruit for us from individual farmers. While we believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials and that we in general maintain good supplier relationships, if we are unable to continue to find adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us, it will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, and unless we are able to establish and maintain brand name recognition our sales may be negatively impacted.

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brand by our targeted consumers. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and consumers of our brand. Although we believe that we have made progress towards establishing market recognition for our brand “农珍之冠 ” in the Chinese fruit products industry, it is too early in the product life cycle of the brand to determine whether our products and brand will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers.

We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences, so our inability to continue developing new products to satisfy our consumers’ changing preferences would have a material adverse effect on our sales volumes.

Our products are processed from premium specialty fruits and sell at a high price. A decline in the consumption of our products could occur as a result of a change in consumer preferences, perceptions and spending habits at any time. Future success will depend partly on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes and to offer, on a timely basis, new products that meet consumer preferences. Our failure to adapt our product offering to respond to such changes may result in reduced demand and lower prices for our products, resulting in a material adverse effect on our sales volumes, sales and profits.

Our current market distribution and penetration is limited as compared with the potential market and so our initial views as to customer acceptance of a particular product can be erroneous, and there can be no assurance that true market acceptance will ultimately be achieved. In addition, customer preferences are also affected by factors other than taste. If we do not adjust to respond to these and other changes in customer preferences, our sales may be adversely affected.

We rely primarily on third-party distributors, which could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.

We do not sell our products directly to end customers. Instead, we rely on third-party distributors for the sale and distribution of our products. We sell our products through an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network covering 20 provinces and 47 cities in China. As of March 31, 2010, this network comprised 75 distributors. We typically do not enter into long-term agreements with distributors and have no control over their everyday business activities. To the extent that our distributors are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Some of these factors include: (i) the level of demand for our brand and products in a particular distribution area; (ii) our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those offered by competing products and (iii) our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors.

14


There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Furthermore, shortage of adequate working capital may make it impossible for us to do so. Our inability to achieve any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our distributors in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain and expand our market, which will likely adversely effect our revenues and financial results.

We generally do not have long-term agreements with our distributors, and we may need to spend significant time and incur significant expense in attracting and maintaining key distributors.

Our marketing and sales strategy presently, and in the future, will rely on the performance of our independent distributors and our ability to attract additional distributors. We generally have one-year written agreements with our distributors which are renewable at the beginning of every year. In addition, despite the terms of the written agreements with certain of our significant distributors, we have no assurance as to the level of performance under those agreements, or that those agreements will not be terminated. There is also no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current distribution relationships or establish and maintain successful relationships with distributors in new geographic distribution areas. Moreover, there is the additional possibility that we will have to incur significant expenses to attract and maintain key distributors in one or more of our geographic distribution areas in order to profitably exploit our geographic markets. We may not have sufficient working capital to allow us to do so.

Failure to execute our business expansion plan could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are currently building a new fruit and vegetable powder facility which is expected to start production in fiscal year 2011. Our decision to increase our production capacity was based in part on our projections of increases in our sales volume and growth in the size of the premium specialty fruit and vegetable based product market in China. If actual customer demand does not meet our projections, we will likely suffer overcapacity problems and may have to leave capacity idle, which may reduce our overall profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our future success depends on our ability to expand our business to address growth in demand for our current and future products. Our ability to add production capacity and increase output is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including:

  • the unavailability of additional funding to expand our production capacity, purchase additional fixed assets and purchase raw materials on favorable terms or at all;

  • delays and cost overruns as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, such as problems with equipment vendors and suppliers of raw materials;

  • failure to maintain high quality control standards;

  • shortage of source fruits;

  • our inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required approvals by relevant government authorities;

  • diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and

  • failure to execute our expansion plan effectively.

As our business grows, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting functions, and improvements to our record keeping and contract tracking system. We will need to respond to competitive market conditions and continue to enhance existing products and develop new products, and retain existing customers and attract new customers. We will also need to recruit more personnel and train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, we will need to maintain and expand our relationships with our current and future customers, suppliers, distributors and other third parties, and there is no guarantee that we will succeed.

If we encounter any of the risks described above, or are otherwise unable to establish or successfully operate additional production capacity or to increase production output, we may be unable to grow our business and revenues, reduce our operating costs, maintain our competitiveness or improve our profitability, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

15


Because we experience seasonal fluctuations in our sales, our quarterly results will fluctuate and our annual performance will depend largely on results from three quarters.

Our business is highly seasonal in production, reflecting the harvest season of our primary source fruits during the months from mid-July to mid-November. Typically, a substantial portion of our revenues are earned during our second, third and forth fiscal quarters. We generally experience lowest revenues during our first fiscal quarter. Sales in the second, third and forth fiscal quarters accounted for approximately 26.5%, 24.4% and 36.3% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, respectively. If sales in these quarters are lower than expected, our operating results would be adversely affected, and it would have a disproportionately large impact on our annual operating results.

Due to our rapid growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance and evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.

Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years as demonstrated by our growth in net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to $72.9 million from $56.4 million during the prior fiscal year. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Moreover, our ability to achieve satisfactory production results at higher volumes is unproven. Therefore, you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

We depend heavily on key personnel, and turnover of key employees and senior management could harm our business.

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Changjun Yu, our Chairman, Jinglin Shi, our Chief Executive Officer, Colman Cheng, our Chief Financial Officer, and Manjiang Yu, our Vice President of Sales. None of these key management members currently owns any shares of common stock or any other equity interest in the Company. Although they have signed employment agreements with our subsidiary Fezdale which include a non-competition provision which prohibits them from engaging in the food processing industry during the term of the agreement and for two years after the termination of employment, such employment agreements can be terminated at will. If we lose any of these key employees and are unable to find a qualified replacement in a timely manner, our business will be negative impacted. In addition, if a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete the institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the reclamation, technical, and marketing aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

The concentration of ownership of our securities by our controlling stockholders who do not participate in the management of our business can result in stockholder votes that are not in our best interests or the best interests of our minority stockholders.

Mr. Yiu Fai Kung and Mr. Kwan Mo Ng, collectively own approximately 79% of our outstanding voting securities, giving them controlling interest in the Company. However, neither Mr. Kung nor Mr. Ng is an executive officer or director of the Company and is not a participant in any way in the day to day affairs of the Company. Mr. Kung and Mr. Ng may have little or no knowledge of the details of the Company’s operations and do not participate in the corporate governance of the Company. In addition, this concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares.

Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brands and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We produce, market and sell our products under “农珍之冠 .” We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets (including our flavor concentrate trade secrets) or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required to defend against such claims. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse affect on our ability to market or sell our brands, and profitably exploit our products.

16


We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or “SOX 404”, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. Under current law, we were subject to these requirements beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, although the auditor attestation was not required until our annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. There can be no positive assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

We have limited insurance coverage and do not carry any business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or insurance that covers the risk of loss of our products in shipment.

Operation of our facilities involves many risks, including equipment failures, natural disasters, industrial accidents, power outages, labor disturbances and other business interruptions. Furthermore, if any of our products are faulty, then we may become subject to product liability claims or we may have to engage in a product recall. We do not carry any business interruption insurance, product recall or third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or with respect to our products to cover claims pertaining to personal injury or property or environmental damage arising from defects in our products, product recalls, accidents on our property or damage relating to our operations. Therefore, our existing insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks associated with our business. As a result, we may be required to pay for financial and other losses, damages and liabilities, including those caused by natural disasters and other events beyond our control, out of our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or the “FCPA”, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.

We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

  • a higher level of government involvement;

  • a early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;

  • a rapid growth rate;

  • a higher level of control over foreign exchange; and

  • the allocation of resources.

As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.

Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources, controlling the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways.

Any adverse change in economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

PRC food hygiene and safety laws may become more onerous, which may adversely affect our operations and financial performance and lead to an increase in our costs which we may be unable to pass on to our customers.

Operators within the PRC fruit processing industry are subject to compliance with PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations require all enterprises engaged in the production of fruit based products to obtain a hygiene license. They also set out hygiene standards with respect to food and food additives, packaging and containers, labeling on packaging as well as hygiene requirements for food production and sites, facilities and equipment used for the transportation and the sale of food. Failure to comply with PRC food hygiene and safety laws may result in fines, suspension of operations, loss of hygiene license and, in certain cases, criminal proceedings against an enterprise and its management. Although we are in compliance with current PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations, in the event that such laws and regulations become more stringent or widen in scope, we may fail to comply with such laws, or if we comply, our production and distribution costs may increase, and we may be unable to pass these additional costs on to our customers.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiary in the PRC. Our operating subsidiary is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, all of our executive officers and all of our directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations and subsidiary.

18


You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

We are a Nevada holding company and most of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Grandall Legal Group, our counsel as to PRC law, has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or the public interest. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

If we are found to have failed to comply with applicable laws, we may incur additional expenditures or be subject to significant fines and penalties.

Our operations are subject to PRC laws and regulations applicable to us. However, many PRC laws and regulations are uncertain in their scope, and the implementation of such laws and regulations in different localities could have significant differences. In certain instances, local implementation rules and/or the actual implementation are not necessarily consistent with the regulations at the national level. Although we strive to comply with all the applicable PRC laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities will not later determine that we have not been in compliance with certain laws or regulations.

In addition, our facilities and products are subject to many laws and regulations administered by the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the PRC State Administration of Taxation, the PRC Ministry of Health and Hygiene Permitting Office, the PRC General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and the PRC State Food and Drug Administration Bureau relating to the processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, labeling, quality, and safety of food products. Our failure to comply with these and other applicable laws and regulations in China could subject us to administrative penalties and injunctive relief, as well as civil remedies, including fines, injunctions and recalls of our products. It is possible that changes to such laws or more rigorous enforcement of such laws or with respect to our current or past practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, additional environmental, health or safety issues relating to matters that are not currently known to management may result in unanticipated liabilities and expenditures.

The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

19


Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 5.9% and as low as -0.8% . These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively.

All our sales revenue and expenses are denominated in RMB. Under PRC law, the RMB is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Currently, our PRC operating subsidiary may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payments of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future. Since a significant amount of our future revenue will be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign exchange transactions by our PRC operating subsidiary under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of or need to register with PRC government authorities, including SAFE. In particular, if our PRC operating subsidiary borrows foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with SAFE, and if we finance the subsidiary by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities, including the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or their respective local counterparts. These limitations could affect their ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars, as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

20


Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiary’s ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.

Substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiary. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by our PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire “control” over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006. This date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.

We have asked our stockholders, who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75, to register with the relevant branch of SAFE as currently required in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiary. However, we cannot provide any assurances that they can obtain the above SAFE registrations required by Circular 75 and Notice 106. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiary’s ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 and Notice 106 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.

In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75 and Notice 106. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75 and Notice 106, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiary’s ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

21


If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency determines that CSRC approval is required in connection with the reverse acquisition of Fezdale or challenges the delayed payment of acquisition consideration by Solar Sun, the reverse acquisition may be unwound, or we may become subject to penalties.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the “M&A Rule”, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The M&A Rule, among other things, requires that an offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals that have acquired a PRC domestic company for the purpose of listing the PRC domestic company’s equity interest on an overseas stock exchange must obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such offshore company’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. In addition, when an offshore company acquires a PRC domestic company, the offshore company is generally required to pay the acquisition consideration within three months after the issuance of the foreign-invested company license unless certain ratification from the relevant PRC regulatory agency is obtained. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC, pursuant to the M&A Rule, published on its official web site procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by offshore companies seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings.

In the opinion of our PRC counsel, Grandall Legal Group, the M&A Rule concerning the CSRC approval for acquisition of a PRC domestic company by an offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals does not apply to our reverse acquisition of Fezdale because none of China Nutrifruit, Fezdale and Solar Sun is a “Special Purpose Vehicle” or an “offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals” as defined in the M&A Rule. Our PRC counsel, Grandall Legal Group, is also in the opinion that, even though Solar Sun did not pay the consideration for acquiring 75% interest in Longheda within three months after the issuance of the foreign-invested company license, since the relevant provincial agency has issued document indicating the authority’s awareness of such delayed payment and Solar Sun has obtained the approval from local foreign exchange administrative department for the remittance of such payment into the PRC and made such payment, based on its experience, in practice, the chance that such delayed payment being challenged by PRC regulatory agencies is minimal. If the CSRC or another PRC governmental agency subsequently determines that we must obtain CSRC approval prior to the completion of the reverse acquisition or challenges the delayed payment by Solar Sun, the reverse acquisition may be unwound and we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China and limit our operating privileges in China, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares.

The M&A Rule establishes more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction and in some situations, require approval of MOFCOM when a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we do not have any plans to do so at this time. The M&A Rule also requires MOFCOM anti-trust review of any change-of-control transactions involving certain types of foreign acquirers. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

We face uncertainty from the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Share Transfer (“Circular 698”) released in December 2009 by China's State Administration of Taxation (SAT), effective as of January 1, 2008.

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country (jurisdiction) where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of her residents is not taxable, the foreign investor shall provide the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfers.

22


Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through the abuse of form of organization and there are no reasonable commercial purposes such that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the tax authority shall have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with the “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes.

“Income derived from equity transfers” as mentioned in this circular refers to income derived by non-resident enterprises from direct or indirect transfers of equity interest in China resident enterprises, excluding share in Chinese resident enterprises that are bought and sold openly on the stock exchange.

While the term "indirectly transfer" is not defined, we understand that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign entities having no direct contact with China. The relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the very country (jurisdiction) and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. Meanwhile, there are not any formal declarations with regard to how to decide “abuse of form of organization” and “reasonable commercial purpose,” which can be utilized by us to balance if our company complies with the Circular 698.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC stockholders. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person. Nor are detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

We may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment for the 2010 tax year and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

23


If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK GENERALLY

The market price of our common stock is volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock is volatile, and this volatility may continue. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for specific business reasons. Factors such as variations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow, announcements of new investments, cooperation arrangements or acquisitions, and fluctuations in market prices for our products could cause the market price for our shares to change substantially.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, the trading market for our common stock will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, the market price for our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price for our common stock or trading volume to decline.

Furthermore, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock”, we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

24


Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

PROPERTIES.

There is no private land ownership in China. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire land use rights for specific purposes. We were granted land use rights from the PRC government for 24,217 and 37,309 square meters of land located at No. 3, Xin Fa Street, Daqing Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, Daqing City and Bei Dian Village, Wu Lin Town, Lin Kou County, Mudangjiang City, respectively. The land use rights of both land will expire on May 19, 2055 and February 28, 2058, respectively.

We are currently in the process of acquiring the land use right for 40,000 square meters of land located in Daqing to build our new fruit and vegetable powder manufacturing facility with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons. The new facility is expected to begin production in September 2010 and will produce tomato, pumpkin and other popular fruit and vegetable powders that can be used as ingredients in a variety of products, including baby food, ready-to-drink mixes, instant soup mixes, snacks and other confectionery items.

We believe that all our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

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

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements.

Overview

We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Longheda, which is a leading producer of premium specialty fruit-based products in China. We develop, process, market and distribute a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, including golden berries, crab apple, blueberries and raspberries. Our current products include fruit concentrate, nectar and glazed fruits as well as fresh fruits.

We sell our products through an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network covering 20 provinces and 47 cities in China. As of March 31, 2010, this network was comprised of 75 distributors. Our processed fruit products are mainly sold to food producers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related foods, and our fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets.

Our manufacturing facility is located in Daqing City and Mu Dan Jiang City, Heilongjiang Province, China where abundant supply of various premium specialty fruits is readily available. We have five fruit processing lines with an aggregate capacity of 17,160 tons.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

  • Growth of China's fruit processing industry. BBIC projects that the total sales and net income of processed fruit products in China will reach $37.2 billion and $2.5 billion in 2010, representing growth of 42.52% and 66.67%, respectively, since 2007. We believe that the recent growth in processed fruit product consumption in China is largely attributable the increased affordability of processed fruit products and increased health and wellness consciousness in China. We expect these factors to continue to drive industry growth, especially in our primary markets – premium specialty processed fruit products. Such growth will not only increase the overall market size for processed fruit products, but will also benefit companies that are well positioned to sell in these markets.

  • Product Offering and Pricing. Processed fruit products including fruit concentrate, glazed fruit and nectar have been, and are expected to remain, our primary product offering. Our processed fruit products accounted for approximately 75.3% and 79.9% of our total net sales for fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The gross margin for our processed fruit products was approximately 49.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 32.2% for our beverage and other products. We plan to continue to focus on our higher margin processed fruit products in the future. Because we have a strong bargaining power on golden berry products, we generally closely tie the pricing of gold berry products to the raw material prices to ensure stable profit margin. We price our other products with reference to the prevailing market price.

  • Fluctuations in Raw Material Supply and Prices. The per unit cost of producing our products is subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, especially fresh fruits which are affected by factors such as weather, growing condition and pests that are beyond our control. Fresh fruits accounted for approximately 74% of our total cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. Historically, we have been able to meet our fresh fruit supply needs by building our processing facilities in close proximity to orchards and by collaborating with local government and establishing an effective group of vendors. Increases in the price of fresh fruits would negatively impact our gross margins if we are not able to offset such price increases through increases in our selling price or change in product mix.

27


  • PRC Government Policy Promoting the Development of the Fruit Processing Industry. In the PRC central government’s eleventh five-year guideline, the central government emphasized its determination to solve the problems of farmers, boost modern agriculture and increase rural affluence. After the onset of the economic crisis in late 2008, the Ministry of Agriculture also stated its objective to promote the fruit processing and fruit commercialization. We believe that our business model is structured within the framework of these Ministry of Agriculture initiatives and that government policies will continue to have a positive impact on the sale of our products.

  • Expansion of our production capacity. Expansion of our capacity is needed to satisfy increased demand for our products. The average utilization rate for our five fruit processing production lines was approximately 94.7% in fiscal year 2010. In order to increase our production capacity, we must make capital investment to build additional production lines to satisfy the projected demand of our products.

The results of operations reported in the table above is based on the exchange rate of RMB6.84 to $1 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and the rate of RMB6.88 to $1 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $16.5 million, or 29.2%, to $72.9 million in fiscal year 2010 from $56.4 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased sales volume of our products, especially our glazed fruit, concentrated juice and concentrated pulp products. Sales of glazed fruit grew significantly from $6.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to $16.6 million in fiscal year 2010, sales of concentrate juice and concentrate pulp grew from $28.9 million to $34.7 million and from $6.9 million to $9.4 million during those periods, respectively. Market demand for our products was strong in the fiscal year 2010, due, in part, to the Chinese government’s economic stimulus program, growth in a health conscious urban population and a rise in per capita disposable income in China. We launched new glazed blueberry products in September 2009, which were well received by our customers and our new glazed fruit production line started production in December 2009, both of which increased our glazed fruit production and sales in fiscal year 2010.

The following table sets forth percentage of net sales generated by each product for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

(All amounts, other than percentages, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total $  72,917     100.0%   $  56,419     100.0%  

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $7.9 million, or 24.8%, to $39.7 million in fiscal year 2010 from $31.8 million in fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to, and consistent with, the increase in our sales volume. In fiscal year 2010, we sold a higher percentage of glazed fruit products, which generally have a lower per unit cost as compared to fruit concentrate juice and concentrated pulp products. Therefore, the overall percentage increase in cost of sales is lower than the overall percentage increase in sales.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased $8.6 million to $33.3 million in fiscal year 2010 from $24.6 million in fiscal year 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 45.6% and 43.7% for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The modest increase in gross margin was mainly due to the change in product mix. In fiscal year 2010, a bigger percentage of our net sales were generated from sales of higher margin, glazed fruit products.

The gross margins for fruit concentrate, glazed fruit, nectar and concentrate pulp products for fiscal year 2010 were 43.4%, 52.6%, 68.3% and 31.8%, as compared to 36.0%, 64.9%, 69.0% and 37.9% for the same period last year, respectively. We were able to increase the gross margin for fruit concentrate products during the 2010 fiscal year because the average sales price of raspberry concentrate products increased approximately 100% as compared to last fiscal year. The gross margin for glazed fruit dropped in fiscal year 2010 because we used frozen fresh fruit to process glazed golden berries and glazed blueberries during the non-harvest season. The cost of frozen fresh fruit is usually higher than fresh fruit. We used frozen fresh fruit during the non-harvest season in order to maximize the utilization rate of our glazed fruit production line and increase sales volume. The gross margin for concentrate pulp products decreased in fiscal year 2010, mainly because sales price for apple concentrate pulp in the international market decreased significantly during the 2010 fiscal year as compared to last fiscal year due to the general economic climate. However, the price of apple, the main raw material for apple concentrate pulp, in the international market was stable, increased moderately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased $7.8 million, or 50.9%, to $7.5 million in fiscal year 2010 from $15.3 million in fiscal year 2009 mainly due to the decrease of general and administration expenses as discussed below.

Selling expenses increased $617,355, or 21.1%, to $3.5 million in fiscal year 2010 from $2.9 million in fiscal year 2009. As a percentage of net sales, our selling expenses slightly decreased to 4.9% in fiscal year 2010 from 5.2% in fiscal year 2009. The increase in our selling expenses was generally in line with the increase in sales volume.

29


General and administrative expenses decreased $8.4 million, or 68.0%, to $4.0 million in fiscal year 2010 from $12.4 million in fiscal year 2009. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.5% in fiscal year 2010, as compared to 22.0% in fiscal year 2009. The dollar and percentage decrease was mainly attributable to a $9.5 million non-cash compensation expense resulting from the release of certain escrow shares to our shareholder Yiu Fai Kung as discussed below. In connection with the Company’s private placement on August 14, 2008, the Company entered into two make good escrow agreements, under which a total of 5,599,598 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Yiu Fai Kung, the Company’s major shareholder, were placed in escrow. For each of 2009 and 2010, 2,799,799 shares will be transferred to investors and other parties or returned to Mr. Kung, depending on whether the specified earnings targets were achieved. The specified earnings targets for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 were net income of $13,919,707 and $18,495,315, respectively. We met the fiscal year 2009 earnings target and recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 related to the release from escrow to Mr. Kung of 2,799,799 shares as Mr. Kung was a director of Fezdale. Although we met the fiscal year 2010 earnings target, because Mr. Kung resigned from his position as Fezdale’s director in July 2009 and the release of the escrowed shares are not contingent on his continuing employment with the Company, in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10-S99-2 2010, the Company did not recognize any compensation expense relating to the release of make good shares for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Other than the non-cash compensation expenses incurred in fiscal year 2009 in connection with the make good arrangement, our general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 37.6% in fiscal year 2010. As a percentage of net sales, our general and administrative expenses increased slightly from 5.1% for fiscal year 2009 to 5.5% for fiscal year 2010. The modest increase was mainly attributable to costs associated with the transfer from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board to the NYSE AMEX in August 2009.

Interest Expenses

We did not have any interest expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 because we repaid all outstanding bank loans on March 26, 2009.

Income before Noncontrolling Interests and Income Taxes

Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes increased $17.2 million, or 194.8%, to $26.1 million in fiscal year 2010 from $8.9 million in fiscal year 2009. Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes as a percentage of net sales increased from 15.7% in fiscal year 2009 to 35.8% in fiscal year 2010. The percentage increase was primarily attributed to the increase in sales volume and gross margin and decrease in general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes was $6.9 million and $4.1 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was mainly due to increase in net income before income tax. As a percentage of net sales, provision for income taxes increased from 7.3% for the 2009 fiscal year to 9.4% for the 2010 fiscal year. We had a lower percentage of provision for income tax to net sales for fiscal year 2009 mainly because of the deferred tax of $0.5 million arising from the temporary difference recognized from the 25% of equity interest of Longheda acquired by Solar Sun in May 2008.

We file separate tax returns in the United States and China. Income taxes of our PRC subsidiary are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. For China Nutrifruit Group Limited, applicable U.S. tax laws are followed. The applicable tax rate for Longheda is 25%.

Substantially all of our income was derived from dividends we receive from our PRC operating subsidiary. The EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. We expect that such 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiary, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see Item 1A, “Risk factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China— Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a ‘resident enterprise’ of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.”

Net Income

Net income increased $14.8 million, or 326.1%, to $19.3 million in 2010 from $4.5 million in 2009. Other than the non-cash compensation charge of $9.5 million in fiscal year 2009 due to the make good arrangement, our net income increased $5.3 million, or 37.1%, to $19.3 million in fiscal year 2010 from $14.0 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was mainly a result of the increase in sales revenue as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $36.0 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

 Cash Flow   
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)   
             
    Fiscal Year Ended March 31,  
    2009     2008  
Net cash provided by operating activities $  21,667   $ 6,301  
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,701 )   (19,956 )
Net cash provided by financing activities   11,283     11,748  
Effect of exchange rate on cash and cash equivalents   (24 )   (429 )
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the period   4,769     7,105  
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period   35,994     4,769  

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.7 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of $15.4 million, or 243.9% from $6.3 million net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2010 fiscal year was mainly attributable to the net earning of $19.3 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million in fiscal year 2010, as compared to $20.0 million in fiscal year 2009. Our cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2010 was primarily for the purchase of a new glazed fruit production line in December 2009 for approximately $2.7 million which was partially offset by the proceeds from disposal of the beverage production line of approximately $1.0 million. Our cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2009 primarily related to our acquisition of the 25% of minority interest in Longheda for $6.8 million and the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the new concentrated fruit juice production line in Mu Dan Jiang for $13 million.

Financing Activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.3 million in fiscal year 2010, as compared to $11.8 million in fiscal year 2009. During the 2010 fiscal year, the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the receipt of $12.2 million in net proceeds from a private placement financing transaction closed in October 2009. The net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2009 was primarily attributable to $7.3 million proceeds from a private placement financing, loans from shareholders of $7.4 million, and proceeds from bank borrowing of $7.3 million which was partially offset by the repayment of bank loans of $10.2 million.

On October 8, 2009, we completed a private placement and issued 403,418 units at a purchase price of $33.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $13,309,000. Each unit consists of one share of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of our common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at a per share price of $3.30 (subject to customary adjustments) and have a term of four years. The total net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $12.2 million.

31


Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $2.7 million and $13.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our capital expenditures were mainly used to expand our production capacity. Our most material capital expenditure for fiscal year 2010 was the purchase of a glazed fruit production line.

On February 23, 2010, we entered into a $1.17 million revolving credit facility with the Heilongjiang Rural Credit Union with a term of three years. This facility is secured by our land and buildings located in Daqing City. On February 25, 2010, we entered into another $1.59 million revolving credit facility with the Longjiang Bank with a term of two years. This facility was secured by our land and buildings in Mu Dan Jiang City. Both facilities are for the working capital need during our production season. As of the date of this report, we did not draw down on either of the facilities and did not have any outstanding bank loan.

We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of our capital raising activities and credit facilities referred to above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Trade accounts receivable

In the normal course of business the Group extends credit to customers. Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables, and their approximate fair value. On a regular basis, the Group evaluates its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. No allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2010 (2009: nil) was recorded.

Inventories

The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect production costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Group uses first-in, first-out methods to value its inventories. During the idle production period, overhead costs include depreciation are treated as current-period charges, which are expensed to general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales.

32


Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal estimated useful lives generally are: buildings – 20 years; leasehold improvements – 10 years; machinery – 10 years; furniture, fixtures and office equipment – 5 years; motor vehicles – 5 years. During the idle period of the plant, depreciation is treated as current-period charges, which charge directly to general and administrative expense.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue from sales of products, where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when the customer receives the product or at the time title passes to the customer. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless damaged or defective. Net sales are comprised of gross sales reduced by customer returns, trade promotions and discounts.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, except indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by the Group to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period of time. Thus, all of the Group’s land located in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2055.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(a) Recent accounting pronouncement Adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard that established the FASB ASC and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was 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. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). For the Company, the ASC was effective July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements were changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.

In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, which provides guidance about how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. ASC 820 apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued amendments which state that ASC 820 does not address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement and delay the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities and those items for which it has measured on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted ASC 820 for certain of its non-financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

33


In December 2007, the FASB issued a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted ASC 805 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which established the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries codified within ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. Upon adoption of ASC 810 on April 1, 2009, the Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest from minority interest to equity in the accompanying March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, codified in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. The Company adopted ASC 815 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in ASC 820. The standard provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures. The Company adopted the standard during the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events codified in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective for the Company’s first quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-05 (ASU 2010-05), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard codifies EITF Topic D-110 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.

(b) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. For the Company, this ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

34


In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under certain circumstances, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. The disclosure provisions of this ASU are not applicable to an employer’s disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. For the Company, this ASU was effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. For the Company, ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning April 1, 2011. The Company may elect to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Management believes other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC do not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

35


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

The harvest season for our source fruits is generally from mid July to mid November every year. As fruits collected cannot be stored at room temperature for a long time, they must be processed as soon as they are harvested. Our fruit processing production is generally busiest from mid-July to mid-November every year.

We will generally experience higher sales in the second, third and forth fiscal quarters mainly due to distributors’ (i) efforts to obtain adequate supply of our fruit processing products before the fruit supply diminishes after production ceases in November; and (ii) anticipation of higher demand for processed fruit products as a result of festive seasons, such as Middle Autumn festival, Christmas and the Chinese New Year which were in the second, third and forth quarter of our fiscal year.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2010, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

  • Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

36


  • Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

  • Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on our assessment we determined that, as of March 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at the reasonable assurance level based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain executive officers and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of the common stock, and any changes in that ownership, to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports filed with the SEC by and written representations of our directors and executive offers, we believe that our directors and executive offers filed the required reports on time in the 2010 fiscal year.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that applies to Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics addresses, among other things, ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. A copy of the code of ethics has been filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Current Report on Form 10-K filed on June 15, 2009. The code of ethics is available on our website at http://www.chinanutrifruit.com/CorporateGovernance.html.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Transactions with Related Persons

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the 2009 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under Item 11, “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

  • On May 16, 2008, our Chairman Changjun Yu entered into a Trademark Transfer Agreement with our company pursuant to which Mr. Yu transferred his rights to the trademark “农珍之冠 ” to our company for a nominal consideration of RMB 1. In connection with the trademark transfer, Mr. Yu also entered into a Trademark License Agreement with our company pursuant to which Mr. Yu granted us the exclusive rights to use such trademark before the Trademark Office approves the transfer of such trademark. See Item 1, “Our Business – Intellectual Property.”

  • On April 28, 2008, our subsidiary Longheda entered into a financial advisory agreement, or the Financial Advisory Agreement, with HFG International, Limited. The Financial Advisory Agreement was amended on August 12, 2008. Under the Financial Advisory Agreement, as amended, HFG International, Limited agreed to provide Longheda with financial advisory and consulting services in facilitating Longheda’s going public transaction. In consideration for these services, HFG International, Limited was entitled to $450,000 which was paid within 45 days after the closing of our reverse acquisition of Fezdale. HFG International, Limited is an affiliate of Halter Financial Investments, L.P., which was an 87.5% shareholder of our company before the closing of the reverse acquisition of Fezdale and a 6.96% shareholder as of the date of this report.

43


  • On August 14, 2008, Mr. Kung, the former shareholder of Fezdale, entered into a make good escrow agreement with HFG International, Limited. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Kung established an escrow account and delivered to the escrow agent certificates evidencing 2,513,758 shares of our common stock beneficially owned by him, to be held for the benefit of HFG International, Limited. Mr. Kung agreed that if the after tax net income (after the exclusion of certain items from the calculation), or ATNI, for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year is less than $13,919,707 or the ATNI for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year is less than $18,495,315, then, in each case, Mr. Kung will transfer to HFG International, Limited 1,256,879 shares. If the ATNI for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year is no less than $13,919,707 or the ATNI for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year is no less than $18,495,315, then, in each case, 1,256,879 shares will be returned to Mr. Kung.

Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
China Nutrifruit Group Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Nutrifruit Group Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

On August 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Fezdale, a British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) corporation, through a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange Transaction”), with the result that the shareholders of Fezdale became the beneficial owners of approximately 83.5% of the Company’s common stock. As a result of such Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Fezdale became the Company’s controlling shareholders. Accordingly, all references to shares of Fezdale’s ordinary shares were restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of the common stock of China Nutrifruit Group Limited.

The share exchange resulted in Fezdale’s former shareholder obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) require that a company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, in the Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale is treated as the accounting acquirer and China Nutrifruit Group Limited is treated as the acquired party. Accordingly, the Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for a recapitalization of the Company. The equity section of the accompanying financial statements was restated to reflect the recapitalization of the Company due to the Share Exchange Transaction as of the first day of the first period presented. The assets and liabilities acquired that, for accounting purposes, were deemed to have been acquired by Fezdale were not significant.

Also, on August 14, 2008, the Company’s majority shareholder, Yiu Fai Kung (“Mr. Kung”), entered into escrow agreements with the private placement investors and HFG International, Limited (“HFG”). Mr. Kung will deliver a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him to the investors and HFG pro-rata in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional consideration if:

(i)

The after tax net income for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2009 is less than $13,919,707 and fiscal year ending on March 31, 2010 is less than $18,495,315; and

The return to Mr. Kung of any of the make good shares placed in escrow by him was considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 because Mr. Kung was a director of the Company’s subsidiary Fezdale. For the year ended March 31, 2009, the earnings target for 2009 of net income of $13,955,178 (before any charges related to the release of any shares from escrow) was met. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $9,519,316.6 in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the release from escrow to Mr. Kung of 2,799,799 shares.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the earnings target for 2010 of net income of $18,495,315 was met. Accordingly, 2,799,799 shares will be released to Mr. Kung from escrow. As Mr. Kung resigned from his position as Fezdale’s director and the release of the escrowed shares was not contingent upon Mr. Kung’s continuing employment with the Company, the Company did not recognize any compensation expenses relating to the release of the escrow shares to Mr. Kung in fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

On September 4, 2009, the Company’s common stock was approved by the NYSE Amex for listing and registration.

On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Private Placement Transaction”) with certain accredited investors (“Investors”) and effected the initial closing of the purchase and sale of 359,502 units (the “Unit”) at $33.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2.5 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to customary adjustments) and the Company is obligated to register the underlying shares of common stock within thirty days of the closing date. In connection with the initial closing of the offering, the Company raised approximately $11.86 million.

On October 8, 2009, the Company effected the second and final closing of the Financing and issued 43,916 units (the “Unit”) at a purchase price of $33.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,449,000.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Nutrifruit Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the US GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the accounts of China Nutrifruit Group Limited, Fezdale Investments Limited, Solar Sun Holdings Limited, Jumbo Gloss Limited and Daqing Longheda Food Company Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 F- 7


Segment information

The Group identifies and classifies its operating segment based on the nature of the products with similar economic characteristics. No segment information is provided as the Group only has one business and geographical segment. The Group’s reportable segment is the manufacture and sell of food products, which operations are located in the PRC and sales were predominately made to customers located in the PRC.

Economic and political risks

The Group’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly the Group’s business, financial position may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.

The Group’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risk not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environmental and foreign currency exchange. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

Trade accounts receivable

In the normal course of business the Group extends credit to customers. Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables, and their approximate fair value. On a regular basis, the Group evaluates its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. No allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2010 (2009: nil) was recorded.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect production costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Group uses first-in, first-out methods to value its inventories. During the idle production period, overhead costs include depreciation are treated as current-period charges, which are expensed to general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of certain of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current assets, other payables and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal estimated useful lives generally are: buildings – 20 years; leasehold improvements – 10 years; machinery – 10 years; furniture, fixtures and office equipment – 5 years; motor vehicles – 5 years. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment was $1,590,023 and $1,041,111 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. During the idle period of the plant, depreciation is treated as current-period charges, which charge directly to general and administrative expense.

F - 8


Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill represents the excess fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination over the purchase price. The negative goodwill is allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts assigned to the assets acquired excluding financial assets, deferred taxes and other current assets. If negative goodwill exceeds the amount of those assets, the remaining excess shall be recognized as an extraordinary gain in the period which the business combination is completed.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of products, where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when the customer receives the product or at the time title passes to the customer. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless damaged or defective. Net sales are comprised of gross sales reduced by customer returns, trade promotions and discounts.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in selling expenses. The shipping and handling costs for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2,872,277 and $2,103,838 respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, except indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by the Group to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. During the period, no impairment on long-lived assets was recorded by the Group.

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period of time. Thus, all of the Group’s land located in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2055.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The total advertising costs were $38,053 and $22,596 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Other income recognition

Other income is comprised of interest income and others.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the loan to the loan’s net carrying amount.

Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Group is Renminbi, “RMB”. The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

March 31, 2010  
Balance sheet RMB6.8361 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income RMB6.8383 to US$1.00

F- 9



March 31, 2009  
Balance sheet RMB6.8456 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income RMB6.8805 to US$1.00

As at March 31, 2010, RMB236,619,999 equivalents to US$34,613,303 (March 31, 2009: RMB32,611,383 equivalents to US$4,736,846) is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

Statutory reserves

The laws and regulations of the PRC require before an enterprise distributes profits to its owners, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations. The statutory reserves include a surplus reserve fund and a common welfare fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. The details of surplus reserve fund and common welfare fund are as follows:

Surplus reserve fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50 percent of that subsidiary’s paid-in capital.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into equity by raising equity from existing owners in proportion to their equity holdings.

Common welfare fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 5 percent to 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the statutory common welfare fund. This fund can only be utilized for capital items for the collective benefit of that subsidiary’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. The transfer to this fund must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners.

Share-based payment

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification 718 (“ASC 718”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 123®, Share-Based Payment), as amended and interpreted, for its share-based compensation which required the Company to record compensation expense for all awards based on their grant date fair value. The Company utilized the modified prospective method approach, pursuant to which the Company has recorded compensation for all awards granted based on their fair value.

Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Group’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Group’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the management or operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under the provision of Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”) and related interpretations and guidance including FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), resulting in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or refunded for the relevant periods. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured at the enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the years which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a benefit will be realized. The Group’s operations are primarily located in PRC and subject to PRC profits tax.

Reclassifications

Certain financial statements line items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and have no impact on the previously reported consolidated net sales, operating earnings or financial position.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(a) Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard that established the FASB ASC and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was 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. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). For the Company, the ASC was effective July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements were changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.

In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, which provides guidance about how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. ASC 820 apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued amendments which state that ASC 820 does not address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement and delay the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities and those items for which it has measured on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted ASC 820 for certain of its non-financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted ASC 805 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which established the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries codified within ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. Upon adoption of ASC 810 on April 1, 2009, the Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest from minority interest to equity in the accompanying March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, codified in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. The Company adopted ASC 815 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

F-11


In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in ASC 820. The standard provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures. The Company adopted the standard during the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events codified in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective for the Company’s first quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-05 (ASU 2010-05), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard codifies EITF Topic D-110 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.

(b) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. For the Company, this ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under certain circumstances, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. The disclosure provisions of this ASU are not applicable to an employer’s disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. For the Company, this ASU was effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. For the Company, ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning April 1, 2011. The Company may elect to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

F- 12


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 4. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2010, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.

Group’s operations are in China

All of the Group’s products are produced in China. The Group’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in China. Among other risks, the Group’s operations are subject to the risks of transfer of funds; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.

NOTE 10. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax is as follows:

    For the year ended March 31,  
    2010     2009  
             
Current:            
PRC $  6,511,502   $  4,658,836  
Deferred:            
PRC   337,936     (531,259 )
  $  6,849,438   $  4,127,577  

Deferred tax assets

The source of significant temporary difference that gives rise to the deferred tax asset is as follows:

    For the year ended March 31,  
    2010     2009  
Deferred tax assets:            
   Difference between book and tax basis of land use right and $  1,068,878   $  1,406,814  
   property and equipment            
   Tax losses carryforwards   913,721     544,868  
   Less: valuation allowance   (913,721 )   (544,868 )
   Net deferred tax assets $  1,068,878   $  1,406,814  

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all of the assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in each tax jurisdiction during the periods in which temporary differences in those jurisdictions become deductible. Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company has provided valuation allowances of $913,721 and $544,868 in respect of federal net operating loss and foreign unused tax loss carryforwards, respectively, which it does not expect to utilize.

Gross deferred tax assets at March 31, 2010 and 2009 were reduced by valuation allowance of $913,721 and $544,868, respectively. The total valuation allowance between periods presented increased by $368,853 (2009: $317,761) and such increase was attributable to the tax effect on foreign tax losses incurred for the year ended March 31, 2010 of $56,757 (2009: $34,274) at enacted foreign profit tax rates and the tax effect on federal net operating loss incurred for the year ended March 31, 2010 of $312,096 (2009: $283,487) at the federal tax rate of 35%.

Income taxes

A reconciliation of the provision for income tax calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate and state and local income tax rate to the Company’s provision for income taxes for the years ended March 31 is as follows:

    2010     2009  
Provision for income taxes at statutory rate of 35% $  9,134,370   $  3,098,902  
Chinese tax rate difference   (2,536,390 )   (1,815,417 )
Non-deductible expenses and non-assessable profits   (455,331 )   3,057,590  
Changes in valuation allowance   368,853     317,761  
Tax effect of non-deductible temporary difference recognized   337,936     (531,259 )
Income taxes $  6,849,438   $  4,127,577  

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred a non-cash charge for stock compensation expense of $9,519,317, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

F - 15


Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of undistributed earnings or income tax payable in the event the Company repatriated all undistributed foreign earnings. However, if these earnings were distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, offset by an adjustment for foreign tax credits.

NOTE 11. OTHER PAYABLES AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Other payables and accrued expenses by major categories are summarized as follows at March 31:

    2010     2009

Ranking

F - 16


With respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and any other classes or series of stock of the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Voting

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, together with the common stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to the Company’s shareholders, except as required by Nevada law.

Conversion

Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are optionally convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate calculated by dividing (A) $33.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference Amount") by (B) the conversion price, which is initially $3.30 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. Initially, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock.

Mandatory Conversion

The Company may convert outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon (i) the closing of a sale by the Company of shares of common stock in a registered public offering in which the Company sells shares of its stock for at least $10 million in gross proceeds and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are able to offer and sell at least 50% of the common stock that would be received upon such mandatory conversion ("Qualified Sale") or (ii) when the average of the daily closing price of the common stock for at least 30 consecutive trading days is not less than $4.25 and the daily trading volume during each of those 30 trading days exceeds 75,000 shares (a "Market Forced Conversion," and collectively with a Qualified Sale, a "Forced Conversion"). The conversion rate to be applied in effecting a Forced Conversion is calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference Amount per share by $2.75 (in the event of a Qualified Sale) or $3.30 (in the event of a Market Forced Conversion), as the case may be, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. In addition, in connection with a Qualified Sale Forced Conversion, the Company will pay to the holder for each share of Series A Preferred Stock so converted a per share amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the original issue price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends

Dividends

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 7% on the Liquidation Preference Amount thereof. Such dividends are payable annually on September 1 beginning with the first date after December 31, 2009 and any optional conversion date in cash.

Liquidation

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, $33.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the right to participate in distributions or payments upon a liquidation event.

Redemption

At any time on or after less than 10% of the originally issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding at one hundred and one percent (101%) of the Liquidation Preference Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. A holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may also, upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and at the option of such holder, request the Company to redeem all or any of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the same price.

For fiscal year 2010, because Mr. Kung resigned from his position as Fezdale’s director in July 2009 and the release of the escrow shares was not contingent upon his continuing employment with the Company, even though the earnings target of net income of $18,495,315 was met and 2,799,799 shares will be released to Mr. Kung from escrow, the Company did not recognize any compensation cost relating to the release of such shares.
