SINO GREEN LAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Organization
 
Sino Green Land Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in March 2008 under the name of Henry County Plywood Corporation, as the successor by merger to a Virginia corporation organized in May 1948 under the same name. On March 23, 2009, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Sino Green Land Corporation.
 
The Company, through its Chinese operating subsidiaries and a variable interest entity, is engaged in the wholesale distribution, marketing and sales of premium fruits through wholesale centers and to supermarkets in China.
 
On January 15, 2009, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Organic Region Group Limited (“Organic Region”), its stockholders and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zhuhai Organic Region Modern Agriculture Ltd. (“Zhuhai Organic”), and Guangzhou Organic Region Agriculture Ltd. (“Guangzhou Organic”), Fuji Sunrise International Enterprises Limited (“Fuji Sunrise”), Southern International Develop Limited (“Southern International”) and HK Organic Region Limited (“HK Organic”). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement and a related agreement with the Company’s two former principal stockholders:
 
  
The Company issued to the former stockholders of Organic Region a total of 81,648,554 shares of common stock, constituting approximately 98% of our outstanding stock, in exchange for all of the capital stock of Organic Region; and
 
●  
Our former majority stockholders sold to the Company 1,666,298 shares of common stock, representing 50% of the outstanding shares, for $500,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes. The Company cancelled these shares. As of April 27, 2009, the Company had paid the principal and accrued interest on the notes in full and had no further obligations to the former majority stockholders.
 
Prior to the closing of these transactions, the Company, then known as Henry County Plywood Corporation, was not engaged in any business activity.
 
The Company is the sole stockholder of Organic Region, a British Virgin Islands corporation which was incorporated on January 30, 2003. Organic Region is the sole stockholders of five limited liability companies organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, each of which is a wholly foreign-owned entity, known as a WFOE: Zhuhai Organic, Guangzhou Organic, Fuji Sunrise, Southern International, HK Organic, and Guangzhou Metro Green Trading Ltd. Guangzhou Metro Green Trading Ltd, wholly owned by Southern International, was formed on March 31, 2010 and is engaged in the wholesale distribution, marketing and sales of grocery products, and real estate and consulting services in China.
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Organic Region is equivalent to the acquisition by Organic Region of the Company, then known as Henry County Plywood Corporation, with the issuance of stock by Organic Region for the net monetary assets of the Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Organic Region. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, only the 81,648,554 shares of common stock issued to the former Organic Region stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition effected by the share exchange agreement, the Company’s business has become the business of the Organic Region. The 1,666,297 shares of common stock that were outstanding on January 15, 2009, net of the 1,666,298 shares that were purchased by the Company and cancelled, are treated as if they were issued on January 15, 2009, as part of a recapitalization.

The Company has an exclusive agreement with Xiong Luo, who is one of the Company’s senior executive officers and the owner and holder of the business license for Guangzhou Greenland Co. Ltd. (“Guangzhou Greenland”). Pursuant to this agreement, Organic Region provides consulting services, including business operations, human resources and research and development services, to Mr. Luo with respect to Guangzhou Greenland to enable Guangzhou Greenland to operate the fruit trading business in China. In exchange for such services, Mr. Luo agreed to pay a consulting services fee to Organic Region equal to all of the revenues obtained by Guangzhou Greenland. The agreement gave the Company the ability to substantially influence Guangzhou Greenland’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring stockholder approval. Mr. Luo also irrevocably granted the Company an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Guangzhou Greenland and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise voting power to the person appointed by the Company. Guangzhou Greenland is considered a variable interest entity, and its financial statements are included in our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the business of Guangzhou Greenland.
 
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements (see note 12 for a description of the restatement) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as restated. See Note 12. The results of the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhuhai Organic and Guangzhou Organic, Fuji Sunrise, HK Organic, Southern International, and Guangzhou Metro Green Trading Ltd, together with its 100% Variable Interest Entity (VIE), Guangzhou Greenland. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
Accounts receivable
 
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable, of $217,883 and $171,143, net of allowance for bad debts in the amount of $9,435 and $9,244, respectively.

Other current assets

The other current assets mainly comprise of advances to employees and deposit to unrelated party in PRC. The unsecured loan amount of $292,517, which was included in other current assets at December 31, 2009, was collected in the first quarter of 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, advances of the Company amounted to $10,297,316 including current and non-current portions, of which $1,207,617 represents advance payment to several unrelated parties for the construction of the building for the Company’s proposed green foods distribution center. The remaining $9,089,702 represents advances to the holder of the land use rights relating to the building, which is an unrelated party, for an 18-year lease term commencing upon completion of the building. The advance lease payments are required to be used to construct the multi-level building that the Company plans to occupy upon completion for the green foods distribution center. The non-current advances amounted to $9,725,243 and $4,355,829 as of September 30 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Deposit
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had deposits in the amounts of $373,240 and $365,647, respectively with an unrelated third party in connection with the lease described above under “Advances.” The deposit is refundable after the expiration of the term of the lease.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market value. Management compares the cost of inventories with market value and an allowance is provided to reduce the value of inventories to their net market value. Inventories consisted of produce in the amount of $2,279 and $9,934 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 10 years for manufacturing machinery, 5 years for office equipment, and 5 years for motor vehicles.
 
Impairment
 
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2009, or the period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Derivative liability
 
The derivative liability represents the value of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with certain debt and preferred stock offerings in 2008 and 2009. The warrants are reported at fair value using the Black-Scholes model with changes in value reflected in earnings for the period.

Stock based compensation
 
Stock-based payment compensation to employees and consultants are based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense when issued unless the right to the shares vests over a period of time, in which case the compensation expense is recognized as the shares vest.  Stock-based compensation to directors is accrued ratably over the term of the applicable agreement.
 
Preferred Stock
 
On May 14, 2010, the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock was amended and restated to increase the number of authorized shares of series A preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 shares. The financial statements give retroactive effect to this amendment.
 
Deemed Preferred Stock Dividend
 
The Company records a deemed preferred stock dividend for the amortization of any discount arising from beneficial conversion features associated with its preferred shares. Upon issuance, this discount is offset by a credit to additional paid-in capital, and is generally amortized over its earliest conversion period. Due to the perpetual nature of the preferred stock and the immediate conversion rights, the full discount is reflected as a deemed preferred stock dividend upon issuance.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Discounts provided to customers by the Company at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the products are sold. Sales taxes are not recorded as a component of sales.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
The “Cost of Goods Sold” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income includes product costs and the amortization of the long-term leases on which the produce is grown and for which the full payment was made at the commencement of the lease. Discounts provided to the Company by vendors at the time of purchase are recognized as a reduction in inventory cost as the products are delivered.
 
All other costs, including warehousing costs, transportation costs, salaries, rent expense and depreciation expense, are shown separately in Selling Expense or General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
 
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.

Earnings per share
 
Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pursuant to purchase agreements, in August 3, 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase 10,145,454 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share and warrants to purchase 3,466,666 at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  The warrants are exercisable through August 3, 2011. The average stock price for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $0.27 per share. The warrants with $0.11 exercise price and $0.15 exercise price had a dilutive effect of 6,004,756 and 1,537,309 shares for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and 4,425,279 shares and  2,061,957 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
 
Pursuant to a purchase agreement dated on August 7, 2009, the Company (i) issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock, (ii) issued five-year warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share and 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and (iii) granted the investors an option to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share of series A preferred stock.
 
The preferred stock had a dilutive effect of 16,015,987 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 11,360,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The warrants with $0.14 exercise price and $0.25 exercise price had a dilutive effect of 4,805,576 shares and 724,243 shares respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The warrants with $0.14 exercise price and $0.25 exercise price had a dilutive effect of 4,448,575 shares and 86,741 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The preferred stock option had no dilutive effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 since the option had been exercised as to 650,000 shares in December 2009 and as to the remaining 350,000 shares on January 5, 2010.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we issued, for $500,000, (a) 6,500,000 shares of common stock and (b) warrants to purchase 5,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. Such issuance had a dilutive effect of 2,305,964 shares for the nine months period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes and the United States dollar is the function currency of the Company. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (RMB), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement and statement of cash flows items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity.
 
Fair values of financial instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable and other payables.
 
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
 
Statement of cash flows
 
Cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162), which has become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”) , which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards were effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and have had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards were effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" which amends ASC 605-25, "Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements." ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how to allocate consideration to each unit of accounting in the arrangement. This ASU replaces all references to fair value as the measurement criteria with the term selling price and establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU No. 2009-13 also eliminates the use of the residual value method for determining the allocation of arrangement consideration. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 requires expanded disclosures. This ASU will become effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the application date and the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
 
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –"Subsequent events (Topic 855)" Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendments were effective upon issuance of the update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation, none of which had an impact on total assets, stockholders' equity, net income, or net earnings per share.

5. LONG-TERM PREPAYMENTS
 
There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land is owned by the government, which grants land use rights for a specified period of time. Guangzhou Greenland has entered into fourteen land lease and developing agreements with a number of farming cooperatives since 2005. The farming cooperatives are authorized to manage and plant the lands by Guangzhou Greenland who, during the term of the lease, has the priority right to purchase the agricultural products at fair market price. The agreements have terms of 25 years with various due dates. The payments for the entire 25-year term are payable, and were paid, in full at the inception of the agreements.
 
The Company acquired one new land lease, for which our long term prepayments totaled $3,300,863 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 by paying the full amount.
 
Guangzhou Greenland uses the straight-line method to amortize the long-term prepayments over the life of the land leases. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has long-term prepayments (net) in the amount of $21,933,367 and $18,961,869, respectively.

7. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
 
Issuance of Shares as Compensation
 
Pursuant to an agreement with an independent director, the Company agreed to pay the director 12,500 shares of common stock every fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had issued 50,000 shares and had accrued the value of 33,333 shares, reflecting the shares that were due to such director, but had not been issued, as of September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $10,875 was recorded as an expense for the 37,500 shares payable to the director for that period. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, $3,000 was accrued for the 12,500 shares payable to the director for the third quarter of 2010.
 
On July 1, 2010, in connection with the election of two directors, pursuant to the director agreements, the Company is to issue 25,000 shares of common stock to each of these directors for each three month period of their directorship. As of September 30, 2010, the Company accrued the value 50,000 shares, reflecting the shares that were due to the directors for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, none of these shares had been issued. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, $13,000 was recorded as an expense for 50,000 shares to be issued to the directors.
 
On June 21, 2010, the Company authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 7,195,000 shares of its common stock to employees and advisors for services. Of the shares that were issued, the rights to 4,695,000 shares had vested as of September 30, 2010.  The 5,000,000 shares issuable to three senior executives were issuable in four quarterly installments provided, that in the event of the death of a senior executive or certain other terminations of employment, the unvested shares are immediately issuable.  As of September 30, 2010, 2,500,000 shares were issuable, of which 1,250,000 shares had been issued.  The stock compensation expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 was $952,146 and $360,325, respectively, to reflect as a liability in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Issuance of Shares pursuant to Financing Agreements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued, pursuant to an option granted in connection with an August 2009 financing, (a) 6,500,000 shares of common stock and (b) warrants to purchase 5,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share were exercised.  
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued 6,204,003 shares of common stock upon conversion of 546,127 shares of series A preferred stock which were issued as part of one of the August 2009 financings.
 
In May 2010, the Company raised $3.4 million from the sale of 17,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share pursuant to agreements with two sets of investors.  One group of investors purchased a total of 3,375,000 shares for $675,000 (the “group A investors”) and the other group purchased 13,625,000 shares of common stock for $2,725,000 (the “group B investors”).  On August 30, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with two investors pursuant to which the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock for $250,000.  In connection with the May and August 2010 financings, the Company agreed with the investors that:
 
  
If, at any time as long as any of the group A investors holds any of the shares of common stock purchased in the financing, the Company sells shares of common stock or issue convertible securities with an exercise price or conversion price which is less than the price paid in the financing, which was $0.20 per share, the Company is to issue additional shares to the investors so that the effective price per share is equal to such lower price.  The group B investors and the August 2010 investors have no comparable provision.

Fair Value of Warrants
 
Fair value is determined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
 
 
o
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
     
 
o
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
     
 
o
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
 
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

The fair value of warrants associated with the April 2008 debt issuance (Organic Region Warrants) and the August 2009 preferred share financing (Series A Warrants) that are reported as a liability was developed using the Black Scholes model using the following significant assumptions:

-15-

 

As of September 30, 2010, none of these warrants has been exercised.
 
The risk-free rate of return reflects the interest rate for United States Treasury Note with similar time-to-maturity to that of the warrants.
 
None of the other warrants are treated as derivatives.
 
As a result of an agreement dated September 24, 2010, the August 7, 2009 purchase agreement relating to the issuance of the series A preferred stock and warrant and the warrants were modified to eliminate the provisions which provided for an adjustment in the exercise or conversion price in the event that the Company issued shares at a price less than the exercise price or conversion price.  As a result, at September 30, 2010, the warrants were no longer deemed derivative securities and were treated as indexed to the Company's own stock and therefore meet the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815, and were eligible to be reclassified as equity. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, the classification of a contract should be reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under this ASC changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or a liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that the contract was classified as an asset or a liability should not be reversed. Therefore, the Company re-measured the fair value of the warrants as of September 24, 2010, the date of the event that caused the re-classification, which was approximately $3,528,120 and reclassified the amount to equity as additional paid-in capital. The income from the changes in fair value during the period that the warrants were classified as a derivative liability was approximately $567,916 was recorded as change in derivative liability on the statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
8. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company’s operations are conducted solely in the PRC. It does not conduct any operations in the United States or The British Virgin Islands and is not subject to income tax in either jurisdiction. For certain entities in PRC, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating losses. The Company has net operating losses amounted of $0.4 million and $41,210, respectively, as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 for these entities. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses generated in these entities will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of September 30, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.
 
Under the current PRC enterprise income tax law, which became effective January 1, 2008, there is a standard enterprise income tax rate of 25%. The tax holidays that were granted under the former tax law, will continue in effect until they expire. Guangzhou Organic has a two year income tax exemption in 2008 and 2009 and will have a 50% tax reduction from 2010 to 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Guangzhou Organic had a net loss. Guangzhou Greenland, which had net income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is exempt from income tax according to tax law of PRC as an agriculture company. The other two subsidiaries generated net losses from business operations. Therefore, the Company does not have a provision for income tax. The following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the tax rates of BVI and PRC to the income taxes reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Sino Green Land, Inc. was incorporated in the United States and has incurred estimated accumulated net operating losses of $296,488 as of September 30, 2010 for the tax purposes. This net operating loss may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, from 2030. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and the lack of any operations in the United States from which net income could be generated.  Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax benefit to reduce the asset to zero. The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended September 30, 2010 was $296,488 and the valuation allowance as of September 30, 2010 amounted to $296,488.

The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $17,624,232 as of September 30, 2010, is included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if the Company concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.
 
9. CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
 
The Company’s operations are conducted exclusively in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.
 
Operations of the Company in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. Results of operations of the company may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
Since a significant amount of the company future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi, the existing and any future restrictions on currency exchange may limit the company’s ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund any business activities outside China or fund expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.
 
Almost all of the Company’s products are sold at the Guangdong Yun Cheng Wholesale Market and the Beijing Xin Fadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, two major markets for the sale of agricultural products in their respective areas where the Company leases space to sell its produce.
 
No customers accounted for more than 10% of the total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
The Company has long-term arrangements to purchase its produce from a limited number of farming cooperatives. If the Company is not able to purchase the produce from these farmers, in the event of a product shortage, and it is necessary for the Company to purchase from other suppliers, the costs may be greater due to this kind of short-term nature of arrangements.
 
Three vendors provided 85.8%, 10.2% and 3.7%of the goods to the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Accounts payable to these vendors amounted $0 as of September 30, 2010. Two vendors provided 55% and 29% of the goods to the Company during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. Accounts payable to these vendors amounted $0 on September 30, 2009.
 
The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its assessment of their credit worthiness and generally does not require collateral. Credit losses have not been significant.

12. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On August 23, 2010, the Company concluded, after a review of the pertinent facts, that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2009, respectively, should not be relied upon due to the following:
 
The Company improperly allocated, for financial statement purposes, the proceeds received in connection with the April 2008 debt financing transaction and the August and December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financing transactions (collectively, “the financings”). The restated financial statements include the effects of properly allocating the financing proceeds between (1) the debt or preferred stock, as applicable, (2) any derivative liabilities associated with warrants for the purchase of common stock, and (3) any beneficial conversion features (“BCF”), as a component of additional paid-in capital, which allow the debt and preferred shareholders to convert their investment into the Company’s common stock on favorable terms.

 
 
-18-

 


●  
Due to the improper allocation of proceeds on the April 2008 debt financing which resulted in an incorrect basis for the debt, the Company improperly reported the loss on debt extinguishment upon its settlement in August 2009. The debt settlement is appropriately reported in the restated annual financial statements for 2009. The settlement occurred in August 2009, and therefore does not affect the income statements presented. However, the accompanying balance sheets appropriately reflect the impact of settlement.

●  
Certain warrants containing variable exercise terms associated with the financings were reported as a component of paid-in capital instead of properly reflecting them as a derivative liability at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the income statement each period. The restated financial statements include the effects of reporting the derivative liabilities and their associated changes in value correctly.

●  
A BCF was inappropriately recorded as a debt discount on the April 2008 financing in addition to being amortized over the subsequent 12 months with a charge to expense. Furthermore, separate BCFs associated with the December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financings were erroneously omitted due to a misallocation of proceeds for financial statement purposes. The restated financial statements include the effects of allocating financing proceeds to the applicable BCFs by recording a preferred stock discount with a credit to additional paid-in capital. The discounts were then charged immediately to retained earnings as deemed preferred stock dividends pursuant to the terms of the agreement which provide immediate conversion rights.

●  
Earnings per share has been restated to include the effects of the restated financial statements

The Company’s management has determined that as a result of such accounting matters, its reported net income was understated by $169,507 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and by $194,977 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Set forth below is a comparative presentation of the balance sheet and income statement as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as restated and as initially reported in the Company’s Reports on Form 10-Q previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements include the restated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements.

Statements in this quarterly report include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this quarterly report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, which includes restated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to the effects of our restatement of our financial statements, weather and natural disasters, our ability to conduct business in the PRC, product demand, including the demand for fruit and vegetable products, our ability to develop and maintain good relations with local cooperative suppliers, our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, including financing for our green produce hub, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this quarterly report.
 
Overview
 
We are engaged in the wholesale distribution, marketing and sales of premium fruits in China. Our main products include Fuji apples, emperor bananas and tangerine oranges. We purchase our products directly from farming cooperative groups to whom we provide varying degrees of farming, harvesting and marketing services. Almost all of our products are sold by us at the Guangdong Yun Cheng wholesale market and the Beijing Xin Fadi agricultural products wholesale market, two major markets for the sale of agricultural products in their respective areas, where we lease space to sell our produce. We sell to trading agents who sell our products to customers in and around the provinces in which the produce is grown.
 
We have recently introduced a line of vegetable products, which we process and distribute to end users. However, our revenue from vegetables has been nominal through September 30, 2010.
 
Fruits, such as apples, bananas and oranges, as well as vegetables are considered staples in the Chinese diet, similar to rice and meat, and historically, demand for these products has not fluctuated with the ups and downs of the general economy. As a result, we have not yet seen a significant decline in our business from the recent economic downturn and the global credit crisis. However, if economic conditions further deteriorate, including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our distributors, customers, suppliers, farmers and creditors, we could see a reduction in the demand for our products which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations. Since we promote our products as premium foods, in troubled economic times, consumers may purchase cheaper fruits and vegetables rather than our products, which could affect both our revenue and our gross margin.
 
All fruits and vegetables are perishable, and are subject to spoilage if they are not delivered to market in a timely manner. Our ability to both purchase and sell produce is dependent upon a number of factors which are not under our control. Severe weather conditions and natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes or pestilence, may affect our ability both to purchase products and to sell our products at the wholesale markets. Under these conditions, we may incur a higher cost of cold storage with no assurance that, even in the best conditions, spoilage cannot be avoided.
 
Since weather conditions are not uniform throughout China, our competitive position may be impaired if our competitors are able to deliver produce to market at a time when we are not able to make deliveries, either because we are unable to purchase the produce or because we are unable to bring the produce to market.

Agricultural products generally are subject to disease, blight and infestation by insects. Our revenue during 2009 was affected by a fruit insect disease which affected sales of our tangerine oranges. Any disease, blight or infestation that affects our produce could materially impair our ability to generate revenue from the affected fruit.
 
We only have long-term arrangements to purchase produce from five farming cooperatives. If we are not able to purchase our produce from these farmers, whether because of a shortage, because of government regulations or otherwise, we may be unable to purchase produce from other co-ops or farmers, and if we are able to purchase produce, our costs may be greater, which could impair our gross margins.
 
Substantially all of our produce is grown by farming cooperatives on land which we lease pursuant to 25-year lease and development agreements which we entered into during the period from 2005 to 2010. All of these leases were entered into with the farmers who held the land use rights from the government. The farming cooperatives consist of many farmers who held the land use rights. Pursuant to these agreements, as of September 30, 2010, we had paid a total of $24.4 million to the holders of the land use rights, who are not affiliated with us, and the farmers agreed to manage the land and plant the crops and we received a priority right to purchase the crops at fair market price. The farming cooperatives do not pay us rent for the land. We amortize our up-front lease payments over the life of the leases. The amortization of our lease payments is included in cost of goods sold.
 
Commencing in the first quarter of 2010, we began to export food products, with our initial export sales being made to Australia. To date, revenue from exports has not constituted more than a nominal portion of our revenue.
 
We are in the process of constructing a new hub for the sale of green foods in the Guangdong wholesale market.  We believe that our hub will be the first hub in the PRC to provide wholesale and retail customers with the ability to purchase a wide variety of green foods in one location.  We intend to purchase green foods from members of the China Green Food Association, who sell more than 17,000 food items, and sell the foods in our green foods hub.  As of September 30, 2010, we had paid approximately $9 million in connection with the construction of this hub from cash generated by our operations and from funds which we raised in 2009 and 2010.  We anticipate that we will be able to complete the construction of the hub and begin the operations of our new green foods product line in 2011.  We anticipate that the total investment to launch this business will be $18 million, which includes construction costs of approximately $12 million, with approximately $4 million auxiliary facilities, such as refrigerated cold-storage trucking capabilities and air conditioning, and $2 million for initial inventory of new green foods products.  On an ongoing basis, we believe that we will need to maintain inventory in the range of $4 million.
 
As part of our green foods distribution hub business, we may market our green foods directly to supermarkets and other retail stores. We anticipate that some of the retail markets will purchase our green food products at our distribution hub while others will require us to deliver the foods to them. In order to develop this business, we will need to expand our marketing effort and establish a delivery system for the retail food.
 
We will require significant additional funding for our green foods distribution hub business. We have no commitments for the funding and our failure to obtain funding will impair our ability to develop this business. If we are not able to operate the green foods hub, we may not be able to recover our costs, in which event we would include a charge equal to the amount of the unrecovered costs.
 
While we currently generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our operations, our capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. A significant portion of our revenue growth has resulted from increased land use rights which we lease under long-term leases that require us to pay the rental for the entire lease term at the inception of the lease. During 2009, we expended approximately $3.4 million to purchase additional leases and in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we expended an additional $3.3 million to purchase an additional lease. If we are to expand our business, we will need to continue to lease additional farm land on which our produce can be grown, which will require significant additional capital. To the extent that we devote resources to our proposed green foods hub, we may have to reduce the amount we spend for additional farmland, which could adversely affect the growth of our produce business.
 
We have commenced construction of our green foods distribution hub in the Guangdong wholesale market at an estimated cost of approximately $18 million, of which we paid approximately $9 million as of September 30, 2010 toward the construction of the hub. These funds were generated from our operations and the sale of our equity securities. We have no commitment from any party to provide funding for the balance of our estimated cost. Our failure to raise the necessary funds for this project could impair our ability to complete the project and we may lose the money we have invested to date.

We presently sell our produce in the wholesale markets, where our customers are wholesale distributors. In connection with, and as part of, our green foods distribution hub, we may seek to market to supermarkets and other retail outlets. To the extent that we develop this business, we would incur additional marketing, shipping and other expenses.
 
The current uncertainty arising out of domestic and global economic conditions, including the disruption in credit markets, may affect our ability to obtain either debt or equity financing which we may require in order to expand our business. Although our products are considered staples in Chinese consumers’ daily life, and, historically, demand for such staples has not fluctuated with the ups and downs of the general economy, if the current economic situation continues to deteriorate, we could see a more drastic reduction in the demand for our products. Since we are marketing our products as premium produce, consumers, in a time of economic difficulties, could purchase non-premium produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Seasonality
 
Our fresh fruit business is highly seasonal. Fuji apples are harvested mainly from late August until early November and are sold throughout the year. Tangerine oranges are harvested in late September through late November with the result that we have nominal sales of tangerine oranges in the third quarter of the year. Emperor bananas are harvested throughout the year. They grow in an eight-month cycle, and are cultivated and harvested all year long. As harvested fruits cannot be stored at room temperature for a long time, they must be processed for sale as soon as they are harvested or stored at a cold temperature. As a result, the sales volume for our produce occurs during the harvesting season and for the months following the harvesting season.
 
We generally experience higher sales in the second half of the year. Sales in second half of 2009 accounted for approximately 63% of our revenue for 2009, and sales in the second half of 2008 accounted for approximately 59% of our revenue for 2008. If sales in the second half of the year are lower than expected, our operating results would be adversely affected, and it would have a disproportionately large impact on our annual operating results. Sales of tangerine oranges were nominal during the third quarter of both 2010 and 2009.
 
Because of the large number of green foods products which we plan to distribute through at our green foods distribution hub, there will be many different seasons for the different products we operate. We cannot predict at this time how the seasonality of the various products we propose to sell will affect our overall profitability.
 
Taxation
 
The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (EIT) and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT rate of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, or FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. The law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007, such as our subsidiaries Zhuhai Organic and Guangzhou Organic, a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatment. During this five-year grandfather period, the old FIEs which enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original EIT law shall gradually increase their EIT rate by 2% per year until the tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the FIEs that are eligible for a full exemption and 50% reduction under the original law are allowed to retain their preferential treatment until these holidays expire.
 
Under the current income tax laws and the related implementing rules, FIEs engaging in agriculture businesses, such as Guangzhou Organic, are entitled to a two-year tax exemption from PRC enterprise income tax, subject to approval from local taxation authorities. Guangzhou Organic is tax exempt for 2008 to 2009 and is entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the three years thereafter. Due to the absence of significant business in 2008, Zhuhai Organic was entitled to tax exemption in 2007, and will be entitled to a one-year tax exemption after the business resumes. However, Zhuhai Organic did not constitute a significant source of revenue or income in 2009 or 2008. Currently, pursuant to income tax law, the income tax rate for foreign-capitalized enterprises is 25% and the value-added tax rate is 13%.
 
Accounting Treatment of Financing Instruments
 
In April 2008, Organic Region, which was then a privately-owned company, issued, for $500,000, its one-year 18% convertible notes in the principal amount of $500,000 and warrants to purchase common stock after Organic Region effects a going public transaction, which includes a reverse acquisition with a publicly traded shell corporation.  These warrants entitle the holders to purchase such number of shares of common stock to be determined by a formula based on a future financing after the reverse acquisition.  The warrants provide that the exercise price is equal to 115% of the lowest cash price paid in a financing, which is defined as the consummation of one or more equity financings by the Company with aggregate proceeds of at least $3,000,000.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had raised $3,000,000 in financings.  The lowest price paid in these financings was $0.085 per share.  As a result, these warrants entitled the holders to purchase 5,115,090 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.09775 per share.  The notes also gave the holders the right to convert the notes into Organic Region’s equity securities if Organic Region did not complete a going public transaction by the maturity date.  Due to variability in the terms of the warrants’ exercise price for which accounting rules preclude them from being considered as indexed to our common stock, the warrants are recorded at fair value, with changes in value reported in the income statement each period. Although the debt was paid in 2009, the warrants remain outstanding.

The 1,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock issued in August 2009 were issued together with warrants and a conversion feature and the 1,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock that was issued in December 2009 and January 2010 were issued with a conversion feature.  As a result, the proceeds received on the transaction were allocated to each applicable component. Any resulting warrant liabilities are recorded at fair value, with changes in value recorded in the income statement each period. Any proceeds allocated to beneficial conversion features on the preferred shares are recorded as a discount on such shares, with a credit to additional paid-in capital. The discounts are then charged immediately to retained earnings as deemed preferred stock dividends pursuant to the terms of the agreement which provide immediate conversion rights.

Restatement of Financial Statements
 
On August 23, 2010, we concluded, after a review of the pertinent facts, that the previously issued financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, September 30, 2009, June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 should not be relied upon for reasons set forth in Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. This quarterly report reflects restated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 because of our failure to account properly for the treatment of securities issued in financings during 2009 and 2008.

Pursuant to the tax laws of the PRC, no income tax was due with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.  If income tax were payable at the statutory rate, the net income available to common shareholders would have been $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The percentages were not included since they do not provide meaningful information.
 
Sales. Sales decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 0.5%, to approximately $31.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from approximately $31.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Sales of our Fuji apples decreased by 1.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Although we increased the volume of Fuji apples that we sold, our sales of Fuji apples was down as a result of a decrease in the sales price of the Fuji apples.  The decline in the sales price reflected an unusual increase in the price of Fuji apples during the third quarter of 2009 which was not maintained during the 2010 quarter.  The increased price of apples during the third quarter of 2009 resulted from much higher apple demands surpassing the available supplies. Sales of our emperor bananas increased by 5.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of additional 833 acres new banana farmland leases, and a higher demand of banana in the 2010 quarter . There were nominal sales of our tangerine oranges in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Our sales volume increased by an aggregate of 2,460 tons in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 because we leased an additional 3,222 acres of land for Fuji apples, and 833 acres of land for emperor bananas.
 
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the cost of purchasing produce from the farming cooperatives plus amortization of land use rights, Our cost of sales decreased approximately $0.3 million, or 1.0%, to approximately $27.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from approximately $27.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, reflecting decrease of purchase price of Fuji apples during the third quarter of 2010.  The decrease is the cost of Fuji apples paralleled the decrease in the selling price of the apples.
 
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit increased 3.1%, from $3.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our gross margin increased from 10.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 10.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to decrease of cost during the third quarter of 2010.
 
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses are comprised of marketing expense, the salaries of our marketing staff, bonus, rent and other selling expenses. These expenses increased approximately $51,000, or 7.5%. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses increased to 2.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 2.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to increased fixed assets depreciation and marketing expenses.
 
General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of travel expense, office expense, product development expense, market research expense, exhibition expense, audit expense, advisory expense and other expenses associated with our status as a public company. These expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 91%, to approximately $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of sales, administrative expenses increased to 2.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 1.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to increased general and administrative expenses to prepare for the opening of our new green food distribution hub.
 
Salary and Wages. Our salary and wages expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 79%, to approximately $0.25 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from approximately $0.14 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of sales, salary and wages expenses increased to 0.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 0.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to increased salary
 
Stock Compensation. Stock compensation represents the shares of common stock issued to employees and consultants. We did not incur any stock compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The $0.4 million stock compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2010 represents the fair value of the shares that were issued or became issuable in the quarter.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest income consists of interest earned on the bank deposits and interest expense for 2009 was driven by the $500,000 convertible debenture we issued in 2008. The interest income was nominal in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the interest expense of $163,202 in the same period of 2009.
 
Loss on Debt Extinguishment.  In April 2008, Organic Region issued, for $500,000, its 18% convertible debentures in the principal amount of $500,000 and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, with the exercise price and the number of shares to be determined after the completion of a reverse acquisition transaction and the completion of one or more financings generating proceeds of $3 million.  The $500,000 proceeds were allocated between the convertible notes ($361,000) and the warrants ($139,000).  The convertible notes were paid in August 2009, and the $139,000 difference between the $500,000 payment and the $361,000 carrying value of the notes was treated as a loss on debt extinguishment. We had  no comparable transaction in the 2010 quarter.

Change in derivative liability.  Change in derivative liability reflects a change in the value of derivative securities that were outstanding during the period.  Our only derivative security during these periods are warrants which include a provision for a change in the exercise price of the warrant if we sell common stock at a price which is less than the exercise price of the warrants.  We generated income from the change in derivative liability of $320,063 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 period compared to expense of $277,620 for the comparable period of 2009.  The change in fair value, as computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, primarily reflected the change in our stock price, which was $0.25 per share at June 30, 2010 and $0.24 per share at September 30, 2010.

Tax. Since our operating subsidiaries benefited from a tax exemption for agriculture products for 2009 and 2010, we did not incur any income tax liability in 2009 or 2010. Almost all of our income is generated by a variable interest entity owed by Mr. Xiong Luo, our chief executive officer and president, whose financial statements are consolidated with ours pursuant to FIN 46R. If the tax exemption were not in effect and we paid taxes at the statutory rate, our income tax expense would have been $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, and the net effect on earnings per share would have been $0.01 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Net Income. As a result of the factors described above, our net income increased approximately $0.1 million, or 8.5% to approximately $1.60 million or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted) in the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.48 million , or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted) for the in the same period of 2009.

Pursuant to the tax laws of the PRC, no income tax was due with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.  If income tax were payable at the statutory rate, the net income available to common shareholders would have been $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Sales. Sales increased $22.9 million, or 32.0%, to $94.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (the “September 2010 period”) from $71.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (the “September 2009 period”). This increase was mainly due to our expanded plantation bases and supply sources during 2009, as we increased the land which we leased by approximately 4,056 acres during 2009.  The increase primarily reflects increased sales of our Fuji apples, which represented 81.4% of our sales in the September 2010 period.  Fuji apple sales increased by 29.7% in the September 2010 period as compared to the September 2009 period, with 93.4% of this increase being attributable to increased sales volume and 6.6% to increases in the average sales price, notwithstanding a decrease in the sales price for Fuji apples during the third quarter of 2010 which was reflected in a decline in Fuji sales from the third quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2010.  We expect the apple price to increase in the fourth quarter 2010 given lower volumes harvested in 2010. Sales of our emperor bananas increased by 58.7% in the September 2010 period as compared to the September 2009 period as a result of additional 833 acres new banana farmland leases, and higher demand for bananas in 2010. Sales of our tangerine oranges increased by 30.6% in the September 2010 period as compared to the September 2009 period. During the September 2009 period, our sales had decreased significantly due to a fruit insect disease which affected sales of our tangerine oranges during the period. This disease did not affect our tangerine oranges during the September 2010 period.
 
In addition, our sales volume increased by 23,158 tons in the September 2010 period as compared to the September 2009 period because we leased an additional 3,222 acres of land from the farming cooperative that supplies us with Fuji apples, and 833 acres of land from the farming cooperative that supplies us with emperor bananas during the second half of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our produce from our farming cooperatives and, to a significantly lesser extent, the amortization of our long-term lease prepayments relating to the land used by the farming cooperatives. Our cost of sales increased approximately $20.1 million, or 31.5%, to approximately $84.2 million in the September 2010 period from approximately $64.0 million in the September 2009 period, because we increased fruit purchase.
 
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit increased approximately $2.7 million to approximately $10.1 million in the September 2010 period from approximately $7.4 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was 10.7% for the September 2010 period and 10.4% for the September 2009 period. Our gross margin was relatively stable since it is largely determinate by the margin of the wholesale prices we buy from our suppliers and the reseller price we sell at distribution centers, both of which have remained relatively stable during the September 2010 and 2009 periods.
 
Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses are comprised of marketing expense, the salaries of our marketing staff, bonus, rent  and other selling expenses.  Our selling expenses increased approximately $0.6 million, or 39.4%, to approximately $2.2 million in the Nine Months ended September 30, 2010 from approximately $1.6 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses increased to 2.3% in the September 2010 period from 2.2% in the September 2009 period. Selling expenses increased due to increased salary expenses, promotion expenses and bonuses related to increased sales.
 
General and Administrative Expenses. Our administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million, or 6.8%, to approximately $1.5 million in the September 2010 period from approximately $1.4 million in the September 2009 period. As a percentage of sales, administrative expenses decreased to 1.6 % in the September 2010 period, as compared to 2.0% in the September 2009 period. During the first quarter of 2009, we incurred general and administrative expense associated with preparation for the opening of our new green foods distribution hub.
 
Salary and Wages. Our expenses for salary and wages increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 68.9%, to approximately $0.7 million in the September 2010 period from approximately $0.4 million in the September 2009 period. As a percentage of sales, salary and wages expenses increased to 0.7% in the September 2010 period as compared to 0.6% in the September 2009 period due to increased salary.
 
Stock Compensation. Stock compensation represents the shares of common stock issued to employees and consultants. We did not incur any stock compensation in the September 2009 period. The $1.0 million stock compensation for the September 2010 period represents the fair value of those shares that were issued or issuable during the September 2010 period.
 
Interest Income (Expense).  Interest income consists of interest earned on the bank deposits and interest expense for 2009 was driven by the $500,000 convertible debenture we issued in 2008. Interest income was $2,265 in the September 2010 period, compared to interest expense of $185,702 in the September 2009 period.  The interest expense in 2009 reflected the interest expense of $104,800 relating to the $500,000 convertible debentures we issued in April 2008.

Change in Derivative Liability.  Change of derivative liability reflects a change in the value of derivative securities that were outstanding during the period.  Our only derivative security during these periods are warrants which include a provision for a change in the exercise price of the warrant if we sell common stock at a price which is less than the exercise price of the warrants.  We generated income from the change in derivative liability of $674,445 in the September 2010 period compared to expense of $252,149 in the September 2009 period.  The change in fair value, as computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, primarily reflected the absence of change in our stock price, which was $0.25 per share at December 31, 2009 and $0.24 at September 30, 2010. Our stock price was $0.09 at December 31, 2008 and $0.08 at September 30, 2009.
 
Loss on Debt Extinguishment.  In April 2008, Organic Region issued, for $500,000, its 18% convertible debentures in the principal amount of $500,000 and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, with the exercise price and the number of shares to be determined after the completion of a reverse acquisition transaction and the completion of one or more financings generating proceeds of $3 million.  The $500,000 proceeds were allocated between the convertible notes ($361,000) and the warrants ($139,000).  The convertible notes were paid in August 2009, and the $139,000 difference between the $500,000 payment and the $361,000 carrying value of the notes was treated as a loss on debt extinguishment. We had  no comparable transaction in the September 2010 period.

Income before Income Taxes. As a result of the factors described above, our income before income taxes increased approximately $2.0 million to approximately $5.5 million in the September 2010 period, from approximately $3.4 million in September 2009 period. Income before income taxes as a percentage of sales increased to 5.8% in the September 2010 period, from 4.8% in the September 2009 period.
 
Income Tax.  Since our operating subsidiaries benefited from a tax exemption for agriculture products for 2009 and 2010, we did not incur any income tax liability in 2009 or 2010. Almost all of our income is generated by a variable interest entity owed by Mr. Xiong Luo, our chief executive officer and president, whose financial statements are consolidated with our pursuant to FIN 46R.  If the tax exemption were not in effect and we paid taxes at the statutory rate, our income tax expense would have been $1.4 million for the September 2010 period and $0.9 million for the September 2009 period, and the net effect on earnings per share would have been $0.01 per share (basic and diluted) for the September 2010 period and the September 2009 period.

Deemed Preferred Stock Dividend. As a result of the terms of the series A preferred stock that we issued in the September 2010 period, we generated a $350,000 deemed preferred stock dividend, reflecting the amount by which the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of exercise and the purchase price of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock on an “as if converted” basis.  We did not have any comparable item in the September 2009 quarter.
 
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders. As a result of the deemed preferred stock dividend, our net income applicable to common stockholders was $5.1 million, or $0.04 per share (basic) and $0.03 per share (diluted) for the September 2010 period, as compared with $3.4 million, or $0.04 per share (basic) and $0.03 per share (diluted) for the same period of 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $678,154, as compared with a working capital deficiency of approximately $3.7 million at December 31, 2009.  Our working capital reflects our investment in long-term lease prepayments of $3.3 million, advances relating to construction of our green foods hub of $9 million and equity financings during the September 2010 period which generated $5.8 million. The following table sets forth information as to the principal changes in the components of our working capital (dollars in thousands).

In the September 2010 period, we used $2.3 million in operations as compared with the September 2009 period in which we used $1.6 million in operations. Our cash flow from operations reflects $6.0 million in construction advances relation to our green foods hub.  For the September 2010 period, we made $3.3 million of long-term prepayments on our lease obligations, as compared with $3.4 in the September 2009 period. These expenditures for long-term lease obligations which are payable at the commencement of the lease are reflected in cash flow from operating activities.  
 
Our primary source of funds, other than operations, was the sale of our equity securities, from which we received $3.4 million in 2009 and an additional $5.8 million during the September 2010 period, including $1.0 million that was received in early October 2010 pursuant to an agreement signed on September 29, 2010.
 
In June and July 2009, we borrowed $1.43 million from a group of investors.  Effective August 3, 2009, we entered into two agreements with the noteholders and with another investor who invested $200,000.  Pursuant to these agreements, the notes were cancelled and we issued common stock and warrants as follows:
 
Pursuant to one agreement, we issued, for $1,116,000, 13,129,410 shares of common stock at a purchase price and two-year warrants to purchase 10,145,454 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share.
 
Pursuant to the second agreement, we issued, for 520,000, (i) 4,333,334 shares of common stock, (ii) two-year warrants to purchase 3,466,666 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share and (iii) an option to purchase, for $0.12 per share, to 6,500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.12 per share and, upon exercise of the option, a warrant to purchase 0.8 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share for each share of common stock issued upon exercise of the option.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we issued,upon exercise of the option, 6,500,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share. 
 
On August 7, 2009, we entered into a series A convertible preferred stock and warrant purchase agreement with three accredited investors, who are the selling shareholders, to whom we sold, for $1,000,000, (i) an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the series A convertible preferred stock, (ii) five-year warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.14 per share and 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share, and (iii) an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock at $1.00 per share.  The option was exercised in December 2009 and January 2010, and we issued 1,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock for $1,000,000. We paid an aggregate of $50,000 of broker fees in connection with this transaction and an additional $50,000 upon the exercise of the option.  We also reimbursed one of the investors for $45,000 of due diligence expenses.
 
In February 2010, we sold to two of the investors in the August 7, 2009 financing and their affiliates, 4,167,000 shares of common stock for $0.12 per share, for a total of $500,000.
 
In May 2010, we raised $3.4 million from the sale of 17,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share pursuant to agreements with two sets of investors.  One group of investors purchased a total of 3,375,000 shares for $675,000 (the “group A investors”) and the other group purchased 13,625,000 shares of common stock for $2,725,000 (the “group B investors”).  On August 30, 2010, the Company entered into a an agreement with two investors pursuant to which the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock for $250,000.  In connection with the May and August 2010 financings, we agreed with the investors that:
 
 
 
-30-

 

  
If, at any time as long as any of the group A investors holds any of the shares of common stock purchased in the financing, we sell shares of common stock or issue convertible securities with an exercise price or conversion price which is less than the price paid in the financing, which was $0.20 per share, we are to issue additional shares to the investors so that the effective price per share is equal to such lower price.  The group B investors and the August 2010 investors have no comparable provision.
 
  
We would hire a finance manager or chief financial officer with United States public company experience, within 45 days after the closing.  If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the group A investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the position is filled.  We have satisfied this covenant.
 
  
Within 45 of closing, we shall have a majority of independent directors of which two are to be English-speaking and have prior experience with United States public companies.  If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the group A investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the covenant is met.  We have satisfied this requirement.
 
  
Within 120 days of closing with respect to the group A investors and 180 days of closing with respect to the group B investors and the August 2010 investors, we must have sent in the necessary paperwork to apply for a listing on the American Stock Exchange.  If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the covenant is met.
 
  
Within 90 days of closing, we agreed with the group A investors to “conduct a minimum of an eight (8) for one (1) and maximum of ten (10) for one (1) reverse stock split” and we agreed with the group B investors and the August 2010 investors to “conduct a minimum of a six (6) for one (1) and maximum of eight (8) for one (1) reverse stock split.” If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the group A investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the covenant is met.
 
On September 29, 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell 5,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.20 per share, for a total of $1,000,000.  The offering costs were $31,000.  Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we agreed with the investors that:
 
●  
If, as any time as long as any investor holds any of the shares of common stock purchased in the financing, we sell shares of common stock or issues convertible notes or convertible preferred stock at a price or with a conversion price which is less than the $0.20 price paid in the financing, we are to issue additional shares to the investors so that the effective price per share is equal to such lower price.
 
●  
Within 120 days of closing, we must have sent in the necessary paperwork to apply for a listing on the American Stock Exchange.  If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the covenant is met.
 
●  
Within 90 days of closing, we agreed with to “conduct a minimum of an eight (8) for one (1) and maximum of ten (10) for one (1) reverse stock split.” If we fail to meet this covenant, we must pay the investors liquidated damages of 1% per month in cash or stock (based on the closing price of the transaction) to the investors until the covenant is met.
 
We believe that our cash flow from operations will provide us with sufficient funds to enable us to continue our basic operations, including the purchase of additional land use rights for growing our produce. In the past, we have leased farmland for periods of 25 years on terms which required us to make all of the lease payments at the inception of the lease, which has required us to make significant cash outlays in the past. These payments were approximately $3.3 million in the September 2010 period, $3.4 million in the 2009 and $7.2 million for 2008 and the funding for these leases was generated from our operations.
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had advanced approximately $9 million in the construction of our proposed green foods distribution hub.  Upon completion of the construction, the construction cost advances will be reflected as leasehold improvements and amortized over the 18 year term of the lease.  We estimate our total initial costs of this operation to be approximately $18 million, which includes construction costs of approximately $12 million, with approximately $4 million for auxiliary facilities, such as a cold storage facility as part of the distribution hub and refrigerated trucking capabilities, and $2 million for initial inventory of new green foods products.  On an ongoing basis, we believe that we will need to maintain inventory in the range of $4 million.

We will need to raise a substantial amount of capital from equity or debt markets, or to borrow funds from local banks, in order to complete the construction of our hub, launch and operate our new green foods business and maintain inventory.  However, there is no assurance that, if required, we will be able to raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required capital.  Currently, the capital markets for small capitalization companies are difficult and banking institutions have become stringent in their lending requirements.  Accordingly, we cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any third party financing, and any financing that may be available may be on terms which are not favorable to us and our shareholders and may result in significant dilution to our shareholders.  In addition, if our outstanding warrants are not exercised, the presence of such a large number of warrants combined by the lack of an active trading market in our stock may impair our ability to raise capital in the equity markets.  Although we are seeking equity and debt financings to provide us with the funds we require to construct and operate our green foods distribution hub, as of the date of this report, we do not have any formal or informal agreement or understanding with respect to any transaction which would provide us with the necessary cash.  The failure to obtain funding when required could significantly impair our ability to develop this business.

To the extent that we can generate funds from the sale of our equity and debt securities, our first priority is the completion and operation of the green foods distribution hubs.  To the extent that we develop operations directed to sales to retail operations, these operations will be included as a phase of the green foods distribution hub.  We do not currently plan to develop independent operations directed to the retail market.  To the extent that we are not able to generate funds from the sale of debt or equity securities, we will limit the expansion of our fruit business to land which we can purchase from our cash flow from operations.  Further, since we require additional leases in order to expand our existing produce business, any available funds which are used for other purposes could impair our ability to expand our present produce business.

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, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Accounts Receivable – Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
 
Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market value. Management compares the cost of inventories with market value and an allowance is provided to reduce the value of inventories to their net market value.
 
Impairment – We apply the provisions of ASC 360-10 (Originally issued as FAS No. 144).. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. We test long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. We consider historical performance and future estimated results in our evaluation of potential impairment, and then we compare the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate we utilize to evaluate potential investments. We estimate fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary.

Revenue Recognition – Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (Originally issued as Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104). Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at the point of sale of our products. Discounts provided to customers by us at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the products are sold. Discounts provided by vendors are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the coupons are redeemable at any retailer that accepts coupons. Sales taxes are not recorded as a component of sales. The “Cost of Goods Sold” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income includes product costs, net of discounts and allowances. Discounts provided to us by vendors at the time of purchase are recognized as a reduction in inventory cost as the products are delivered. All other costs, including warehousing costs, transportation costs; salaries, rent expense and depreciation expense, are shown separately in selling expenses or general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of income.
 
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
 
We determine the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with standards pertaining to fair value measurements. Such standards define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP. Fair value involves significant estimates impacts the financials in many areas such as derivatives, stock comp and deferred compensation. These estimates can have significant impact on our financial statements based on the assumptions we use. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our derivative and stock option positions.
 
Foreign Currency Translation – We use United States dollars for financial reporting purposes, and it is our functional currency. Our subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency -RMB, which is currency of China, where all of our operations are conducted. Such financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 (Originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”). According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate on the balance sheet date, shareholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220 (Originally issued as SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”) as a component of shareholders’ equity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ), which has become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”) , which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards were effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, and have had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards were effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" which amends ASC 605-25, "Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements." ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how to allocate consideration to each unit of accounting in the arrangement. This ASU replaces all references to fair value as the measurement criteria with the term selling price and establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU No. 2009-13 also eliminates the use of the residual value method for determining the allocation of arrangement consideration. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 requires expanded disclosures. This ASU will become effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the application date and the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
 
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –"Subsequent events (Topic 855)" Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendments were effective upon issuance of the update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
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, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
 
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
Not Applicable.
 
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Mr. Xiong Luo, our chief executive officer and Ms. Huasong Sheena Shen, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. For the reasons set forth in the following paragraphs, our management, under the direction of Mr. Luo and Ms. Shen concluded that as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
 
At December 31, 2008, we were a privately-owned company, and, accordingly, we did not make a determination as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.  For the reasons set forth below, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at December 31, 2009 or September 30, 2010.
 
On August 23, 2010, we concluded, after a review of the pertinent facts, that the previously issued financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2009 should not be relied upon due to the following:
 
We improperly allocated, for financial statement purposes, the proceeds received in connection with the April 2008 debt financing transaction and the August and December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financing transactions (collectively, “the financings”). The restated financial statements include the effects of properly allocating the financing proceeds between (1) the debt or preferred stock, as applicable, (2) any derivative liabilities associated with warrants for the purchase of common stock, and (3) any beneficial conversion features (“BCF”), as a component of additional paid-in capital, which allow the debt and preferred shareholders to convert their investment into the Company’s common stock on favorable terms.
 
 
 
-34-

 


●  
Due to the improper allocation of proceeds on the April 2008 debt financing which resulted in an incorrect basis for the debt, we improperly reported the loss on debt extinguishment upon its settlement in August 2009. The debt settlement is appropriately reported in the restated annual financial statements for 2009. The settlement occurred in August 2009, and therefore does not affect the income statements presented. However, the accompanying balance sheets appropriately reflect the impact of settlement.

●  
Certain warrants containing variable exercise terms associated with the financings were reported as a component of paid-in capital instead of properly reflecting them as a derivative liability at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the income statement each period. The restated financial statements include the effects of reporting the derivative liabilities and their associated changes in value correctly.

●  
A BCF was inappropriately recorded as a debt discount on the April 2008 financing in addition to being amortized over the subsequent 12 months with a charge to expense. Furthermore, separate BCFs associated with the December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financings were erroneously omitted due to a misallocation of proceeds for financial statement purposes. The restated financial statements include the effects of allocating financing proceeds to the applicable BCFs by recording a preferred stock discount with a credit to additional paid-in capital. The discounts were then charged immediately to retained earnings as deemed preferred stock dividends pursuant to the terms of the agreement which provide immediate conversion rights.

●  
Earnings per share has been restated to include the effects of the restated financial statements
 
We have restated our income statement and statements of cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 in this Form 10-Q. We also restated our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the quarters ended June 30 and March 31, 2010, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2009, and September 30 and June 30, 2008 in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended June 30 and March 31, 2010 and September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2009..
 
We intends to take such steps as are necessary, including the engagement of accounting personnel with experience in US GAAP, in order that our financial controls and disclosure controls are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, other than as reflected in this Item 4 and our restated financial statements, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
