CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward looking statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date thereof. 
 
In some cases, you can identify forward looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other forward looking information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, and levels of activity, performance or achievements. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control.
 
All forward looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report.  Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this Quarterly Report.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Rodobo International, Inc. (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, Mega Profit Limited ("Cayman Mega"), a corporation formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Harbin Mega Profit Management Consulting Co., Ltd. ("Harbin Mega"), a wholly foreign- owned entity incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China ("PRC" or "China"), and Harbin Rodobo Dairy Co., Ltd. ("Harbin Rodobo"), a wholly foreign- owned entity incorporated under the PRC laws, is engaged in the production, processing, distribution and development of powdered milk products in the PRC for infants, children, middle- aged and elderly under the brand names of "Rodobo", "Healif" and "Peer".
 
On April 1, 2008, Qinggang Mega Profit Agriculture Co., Ltd. ("Qinggang Mega") was incorporated under the PRC laws, for the purpose of starting a dairy farm to secure reliable fresh milk supply. Qinggang Mega is currently controlled by the Company through the contractual arrangement between Qinggang Mega and Harbin Mega. Harbin Mega accounts for Qinggang Mega as a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") under ASC 810 "Consolidation".
 
On November 9, 2009, Harbin Tengshun Technical Development Co., Ltd. (“Tengshun Technology”) was incorporated under the PRC laws to engage in the development, consulting and transferring of  dairy product technologies. Tengshun Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of Harbin Mega.
 
On February 5, 2010, through Tengshun Technology, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy Factory (“Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue”), Ewenkeqi Beixue Dairy, Ltd. (“Ewenkeqi Beixue”), and Hulunbeier Beixue Dairy Co., Ltd. (“Hulunbeier Beixue”) (“Acquisitions”). Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue are three PRC companies that are engaged in research and development, packaging, manufacturing and marketing of whole milk powder and formula milk powder products and were established under the laws of the PRC on February 4, 2002, April 27, 2005 and March 26, 2007, respectively. Tengshun Technology acquired 100% of the equity interests in Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue directly on February 5, 2010. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue is a sole proprietary enterprise and therefore may only be owned by a natural person under the laws of the PRC. For this reason, although the acquisition of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has closed (and no additional consideration is required to be paid in connection with the acquisition), Mr. Honghai Zhang, the former owner of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, is temporarily holding 100% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue for the benefit of Tengshun Technology pursuant to the terms of a supplemental agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition. In accordance with such supplemental agreement, Mr. Honghai Zhang has agreed to transfer all of his interests and ownership in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue to Tengshun Technology. To complete the Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue acquisition process, in addition to such equity transfer, Mr. Honghai Zhang has also agreed to transfer to Tengshun Technology all of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company owned by Mr. Honghai Zhang (“Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy”), and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has agreed to then transfer its assets to Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy. Once the foregoing transfers have taken place Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue will be deregistered. The Company is currently in the process of effecting this entity conversion process which we expect to be completed by the end of March 2011, at which time Tengshun Technology will own all the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy. Once the conversion process is complete the Company will file registration of the Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy’s acquisition by the local Administration for Industry and Commerce, or AIC. The acquisitions of Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue have already been registered by the AIC.

On April 21, 2010, Hulunbeier Hailaer Mega Profit Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“Hulunbeier Mega”) was incorporated under the PRC laws to engage in dairy farming. Hulunbeier Mega is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tengshun Technology.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full years. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cayman Mega, Harbin Mega, Harbin Rodobo, Tengshun Technology, Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Mega and the VIE, Qinggang Mega. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE are eliminated in consolidation. 
 
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s major estimates include the reserve of accounts receivable and inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and biological assets, useful lives of property and equipment and biological assets, and the valuation of the warrant liability and preferred stock.  
 
RISKS OF LOSSES The Company is potentially exposed to risks of losses that may result from business interruptions, injury to others (including employees) and damage to property.  These losses may be uninsured, especially due to the fact that the Company's operations are in China, where business insurance is not readily available.  If: (i) information is available before the Company's financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that such loss is probable and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, an estimated loss will be accrued by a charge to income.  If such loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the loss shall be charged to the income of the period in which the loss can be reasonably estimated and shall not be charged retroactively to an earlier period.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has not experienced any uninsured losses from injury to others or other losses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand and deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE  The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent which they are considered to be doubtful. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable and the adequacy of the allowance. Accounts receivable on the balance sheet are stated net of such provision.
 
INVENTORIES Inventories comprise raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and packing materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method and includes all costs to acquire and any overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Overhead costs included in finished goods inventory include direct labor cost and other costs directly applicable to the manufacturing process, including utilities, supplies, repairs and maintenances, and depreciation expense. Market value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale.  Management compares the cost of inventory with market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower. Management writes off obsolete inventory when it occurs.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives for significant property, plant and equipment categories are as follows:
 
Building and improvement 30 years  
     
Leasehold improvement  5.5 years  
     
Machinery, equipment and automobiles 5-10 years  
 
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Construction in progress represents the direct costs of new construction. Upon completion and readiness for use of the assets, capitalization of these costs ceases and the cost of construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets. No depreciation is provided until the project is completed and the assets are ready for intended use.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
 
Immature biological assets Biological assets consist of dairy cows held in the Company’s pastures for milking purposes. Immature biological assets are recorded at cost, including acquisition costs and feeding costs, incurred in bringing the asset to its intended productive state. Once the asset reaches productive state, the cost of the immature biological asset is transferred to mature biological assets using the weighted average cost method.
 
Mature biological assets Mature biological assets are recorded at cost. When biological assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the mature biological assets of 7 years using the straight-line method. The estimated residual value of biological assets is 25%. Feeding and management costs incurred on mature biological assets are included as costs of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVE ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying value of long live assets, including finite-lived intangibles, property and equipment and biological assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current health status of the asset and production capacity. There were no impairments recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
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. The Company does not provide customers with rights to return merchandise.
 
The Company’s products are sold primarily through two sources: formulated powdered milk products are sold through distributors throughout China, and bulk powdered milk products are sold directly to other packaging plants. Generally, formulated powdered milk products are delivered upon receipt of payments from distributors and revenue is recognized upon delivery of products. For some distributors with a good credit history, the Company also provides credit sales with a 90-day term. For bulk powdered milk products, all deliveries are made upon receipt of payments from end users and revenue is recognized upon delivery of products.
 
ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs represent advertising expenses and promotion incentives provided to distributors and are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $622,020 and $36,617 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION  The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“RMB”) as the functional currency. The results of operations and the statement of cash flows denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the exchange rate was 6.60 and 6.83 RMB per US Dollar, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
 
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances from customers, and other payables approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The Company uses Level 3 method to measure fair value of its warrant liability.  See Note 13 for disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the warrant liability.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
RECLASSIFICATION Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported total assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity or net income.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  In December 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in this ASU replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU and it has not had a material impact on its financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS
 
Effective February 5, 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tengshun Technology, completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue. The results of operations of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue from February 5, 2010 to June 30, 2010 have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, at the time of the acquisition, were engaged in research and development, packaging, manufacturing and marketing of whole milk powder and formula milk powder products.  Tengshun Technology acquired 100% of the equity interests in Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue directly on February 5, 2010. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue is a sole proprietary enterprise and therefore may only be owned by a natural person under the laws of the PRC. For this reason, although the acquisition of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has closed (and no additional consideration is required to be paid in connection with the acquisition), Mr. Honghai Zhang, the former owner of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, is temporarily holding 100% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue for the benefit of Tengshun Technology pursuant to the terms of a supplemental agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition. Mr. Honghai Zhang intends to transfer to Tengshun Technology all of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy, and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue intends to then transfer its assets to Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy.  Once the foregoing transfers have taken place Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue will be deregistered. The Company is currently in the process of effecting this entity conversion process which we expect to be completed by the end of March 2011, at which time Tengshun Technology will own all the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy. Once the conversion process is complete the Company will file for approval of the Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy’s acquisition by the local Administration for Industry and Commerce, or AIC.  The acquisitions of Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue have already been approved by the AIC.
 
Mr. Yanbin Wang, who owned 51% of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Beixue and Ewenkeqi Beixue prior to the acquisitions, is also the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a major stockholder. An unaffiliated third-party owned 49% of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Beixue and Ewenkeqi Beixue and 100% of the equity interest in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue prior to the acquisitions. In connection with the acquisitions, on February 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements with three British Virgin Islands companies: August Glory Limited, Fame Ever Limited, and Fortune Fame International Limited, which, as designees of the former shareholders of Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, would be issued 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, 3,050,000 shares of Common Stock, and 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, as consideration for the acquisitions. In connection with the acquisitions, Mr. Yanbin Wang and the unaffiliated third-party also entered into Incentive Option Agreements pursuant to which Mr. Yanbin Wang has the right to receive all outstanding equity interest in Fortune Fame International Limited for nominal consideration over a three year period.
 
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The consideration for the net assets acquired was concluded prior to the assessment of the fair value of the net assets at the acquisition date. Therefore, the excess of the value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price was recorded as gain on bargain purchase and is shown as a separate component of other income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended September 30, 2010.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income presents the combined results of the Company’s operations with Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue as if the acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2009:

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)
 
Under the current PRC laws, land is owned by the state, and parcels of land in rural areas which is known as collective land is owned by the rural collective economic organization. “Land use rights” are granted to an individual or entity after payment of a land use right fee is made to the applicable state or rural collective economic organization. Land use rights allow the holder the right to use the land for a specified long-term period. Qinggang Mega entered into a land use right agreement on June 20, 2008 with Qinggang County Zhonghe Township Wupailiu Village Committee, which sets forth the right to use a 2,400 acre grassland until December 31, 2034. Under the agreement, the total fees amounted to RMB 21.8 million (approximately US$3.2 million). Qinggang Mega was also obligated to pay a one-time relocation fee in the amount of RMB 2.0 million (approximately US$0.3 million) to the residents who lived on the grassland. The grassland was put into use starting July 1, 2009. The land use right and related relocation fee costs are amortized on a straight line basis over 25.5 years from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2034. Amortization expense was $35,102 and $34,220 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

WARRANTS
 
On September 30, 2008, the Company’s predecessor, Navstar Media Holdings, Inc. (“Navstar”), entered into a Merger Agreement with Navstar’s wholly owned acquisition subsidiary, Rodobo International, Inc. (“Rodobo Merger Sub”), Cayman Mega and the sole shareholder of Cayman Mega.   Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Rodobo Merger Sub acquired all of the ownership interest in Cayman Mega and then merged with and into Navstar (the “Merger”).  Prior to and in conjunction with the Merger, Cayman Mega entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor for $3,000,000. As a result, upon the completion of the Merger, the institutional investor, together with other owners of Cayman Mega, received preferred stock convertible into common stock upon the increase of the authorized share capital of the Company. In addition, Cayman Mega also issued to the institutional investor warrants to purchase 818,182 shares of the common stock of Cayman Mega at an exercise price of $1.50 per share and warrants to purchase 545,455 shares of the common stock of Cayman Mega at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. No separate consideration was paid for such warrants. The warrants, which were assumed by the Company upon the Merger, expire on September 30, 2012.

WARRANTS (Continued)
 
The Company has determined that the warrants meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Therefore, these warrants were classified as equity and included in Additional Paid-in Capital. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility 100%, risk free interest rate 3.99% (no dividend yield) and expected term of four years. The fair value of those warrants at the grant date was calculated at $971,788.
 
The warrants issued in connection with a private placement on June 17, 2010 do not meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Therefore, these warrants were classified as a long-term liability. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility at 83% at December 31, 2010, risk free interest rate (no dividend yield) of 2.01% on December 31, 2010, and expected term of 4.6 years on December 31, 2010. The fair value of those warrants was calculated at $896,198 on December 31, 2010. The change in fair value of warrants is recorded as other income/expense.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had unvested stock awards of 673,333 and 1,020,000 shares, respectively. All unvested stock awards were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as of December 31, 2009. 673,333 unvested stock awards were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as of December 31, 2010 due to being out of the money. 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to no conversion rights as of December 31, 2010.
 
The Company has outstanding warrants to acquire 1,363,637 shares of common stock. These warrants are included in diluted weighted average shares calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 using the treasury stock method. The warrants issued in connection with the private placement on June 17, 2010 to acquire 622,222 shares of common stock are out of the money as of December 31, 2010 and therefore are not included in diluted weighted average shares calculation.

15.  
TAXATION
 
The Company utilizes the recognition of 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 bases 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 realized.

TAXATION (Continued)
 
Harbin Rodobo is entitled to a tax holiday of five years for full Enterprise Income Tax exemption in China. The preferential tax treatment commenced in 2005 and expired on December 31, 2010. Qinggang Mega is qualified for tax exemptions due to a government tax preferential policy for the agriculture industry. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue is entitled to a tax holiday of three years for full Enterprise Income Tax exemption in China. The preferential tax treatment expired on December 31, 2009 but has been extended for another four years.
 
The estimated tax savings for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $1,019,292 and $565,595, respectively. The net effect on basic earnings per share had the income tax been applied would decrease earnings per share from $0.15 to $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $0.15 to $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

16.

 SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)
 
The Company operates in two reportable segments: dairy products and dairy farm. The dairy products segment produces and sells dairy products, including powered milk products for infants, children, middle-aged and the elderly. The dairy products segment includes the operation of Harbin Rodobo, Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue. The dairy farm segment operates the Company’s own dairy farm through the operation of Qinggang Mega and Hulunbeier Mega and provides milk to its dairy products segment. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.
 
The measurement of segment income is determined as earnings before income taxes. The measurement of segment assets is based on the total assets of the segment, including intercompany advances among the PRC entities. Segment income and segment assets are reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) using the same accounting policies as those used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Since July 2009, there have been sales transactions between the two operating segments in addition to intersegment advances.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Rodobo International, Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes included in this report. Those statements in the following discussion that are not historical in nature should be considered to be forward looking statements that are inherently uncertain. Actual results and the timing of the events may differ materially from those contained in these forward looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the “Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements” set forth above.

Overview
 
We are a producer and distributor of powdered milk formula products in the PRC. Our primary products include formula milk powder for infants and children sold under the brand names of “Rodobo” and “Peer”, and formula milk powder for middle-aged and elderly consumers currently sold under the brand name of “Healif”. We also produce and market raw whole milk powder, which is used to produce ice-cream, candies, baked food, instant beverages, nutritional food and fast food.
 
On September 30, 2008, our predecessor, Navstar, entered into a Merger Agreement with Navstar’s wholly owned acquisition subsidiary,  Rodobo Merger Sub, Cayman Mega and the sole shareholder of Cayman Mega.   Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Rodobo Merger Sub acquired all of the ownership interest in Cayman Mega and then merged with and into Navstar (the “Merger”).  In exchange for Navstar obtaining all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cayman Mega, the then sole shareholder of Cayman Mega received shares of Common Stock and shares of convertible preferred stock in Navstar, which upon conversion of the preferred stock into Common Stock, was equal to approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Navstar.   Following the Merger and Navstar’s acquiring ownership of Cayman Mega, Cayman Mega continued to own and control its existing subsidiaries, including Harbin Rodobo.  Concurrent with the Merger, Navstar changed its name to “Rodobo International, Inc.”, adopting the existing name of our Company.
 
Effective on November 12, 2008, we affected a reverse stock split of our then outstanding Common Stock on a ratio of 37.4 to 1 and, effective on April 2, 2009, we increased our authorized capital stock from 16,604,278 shares, consisting of 1,604,278 shares of Common Stock and 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, to 230,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
 
In connection with the Merger, we issued 10,293,359 shares of Common Stock to our former employees and shareholders. Pursuant to an understanding with certain convertible note holders, who collectively held convertible notes in the original aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (“Notes”), and the holder of a pre-Merger bridge loan note, the foregoing were converted into 452,830 and 152,003 shares of Common Stock, respectively. In addition, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 12,976,316 shares of Common Stock.
 
In July 2009, we began operations of our own cow farm through our VIE, Qinggang Mega, and as of December 31, 2010, we have 2,515 cows providing 30 tons of raw milk per day to our Company for further processing.
 
On November 9, 2009, Tengshun Technology was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbin Mega under the PRC laws.
 
On February 5, 2010, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Tengshun Technology, we entered into agreements and acquired  Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue, and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue. Tengshun Technology acquired 100% of the equity interests in Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue directly on February 5, 2010. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue is a sole proprietary enterprise and therefore may only be owned by a natural person under the laws of the PRC. For this reason, although the acquisition of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has closed (and no additional consideration is required to be paid in connection with the acquisition), Mr. Honghai Zhang, the former owner of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, is temporarily holding 100% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue for the benefit of Tengshun Technology pursuant to the terms of a supplemental agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition.  In accordance with such supplemental agreement, Mr. Honghai Zhang has agreed to transfer all of his equity interests and ownership in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue to Tengshun Technology or its designee. To complete the Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue acquisition transfer process, in addition to such equity interest transfer, Mr. Honghai Zhang has also agreed to transfer to Tengshun Technology all of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy, an unrelated PRC limited liability company owned by Mr. Honghai Zhang, and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has agreed to then transfer its assets to Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy.  Once the foregoing transfers have taken place Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue will be deregistered. We are currently in the process of effecting this entity conversion process and requesting the approval thereof by the AIC.  We expect this conversion and approval process to be completed by the end of March 2011, at which time Tengshun Technology will own all the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy. The acquisitions of Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue have already been approved by the AIC.

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreements entered into with the Beixue Group on February 5, 2010, we paid RMB 500,000 (approximately $73,236) in cash and issued 800,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for 100% of the equity interests in Ewenkeqi Beixue; RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $146,473) in cash and 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for 100% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Beixue; and RMB 600,000 (approximately $87,884) in cash, 8,800,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001, in exchange for all of the ownership and interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue (which is currently being held by Mr. Honghai Zhang for the benefit of Tengshun Technology). Mr. Yanbin Wang, who owned 51% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Beixue and Ewenkeqi Beixue prior to the acquisitions, is also our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a major stockholder. An unaffiliated third-party owned 49% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Beixue and Ewenkeqi Beixue and 100% of the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue prior to the acquisitions. The Equity Transfer Agreements also provided that the equity portion of the consideration consisting of an aggregate of 10,600,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued to the designee(s) of the former shareholders of Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue.

Net Sales:

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $25.6 million, an increase of approximately $15.5 million or 153.9%, compared to net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase primarily resulted from the contribution from Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, acquired on February 5, 2010. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue contributed $10.5 million sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010. We also increased the selling price of whole milk powder products produced by Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue after the acquisition. We continued our efforts to develop distribution networks and expand the market areas in the 9 provinces in which we currently sell products.
 
 
21
 
 

 

 
In the three months ended December 31, 2010, sales generated from baby/infant formula, middle-aged and elderly formula and whole milk powder accounted for 43.7%, 14.1% and 42.2% of total sales, respectively.


Cost of Goods Sold:
 
Cost of goods sold increased approximately $11.0 million, or 230.5% from $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $15.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales, the increase in cost of raw materials and recent acquisitions of lower margin businesses.
 
Gross Profit:

Our gross profit increased approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 84.8% compared to the gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The overall gross profit margin decreased from 52.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 38.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Our overall gross profit margin was diluted due to the recent acquisition of lower-margin business. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue has a gross margin of 8.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the margin dilution impact of the acquisition, gross profit margin actually improved from 52.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 59.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily driven by the gross margin improvement for middle-aged and elderly formula from 46.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 51.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2010. Sales from middle-aged and elderly formula accounted for approximately 24.0% of total sales (excluding sales from Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue) in the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to 4.6% a year ago.
 
Operating expenses:

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $6.1 million, an increase of approximately $2.8 million or 85.2% from to the three months ended December 31, 2009. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 32.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 24.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease of the operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to less operating expenses, especially few distribution expenses expended by Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue as its whole milk powder products are sold directly to end users’ processing plants.

Distribution expenses increased by approximately $2.7 million, an increase of 104.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared with the figure for the three months ended December 31, 2009, mainly due to an increase of $1.4 million in distribution expense reimbursements as a result of sales increases and market expansion and an increase of $0.6 million in advertising expenses. The increase was also attributed to $0.4 million amortization of the customer list that we acquired in connection with the acquisitions we made on February 5, 2010.
 
Overall, due to the increase in net sales offsetting the increase in operating expenses, we recorded an 84.1% increase (approximately $1.7 million) in income from operations in the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Income Tax:
   
Harbin Rodobo is entitled to a tax holiday of five years for full Enterprise Income Tax exemption in China. The preferential tax treatment commenced in 2005 and expired on December 31, 2010. Qinggang Mega is qualified for tax exemptions due to a government tax preferential policy for agriculture industry. Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue is entitled to a tax holiday of three years for full Enterprise Income Tax exemption in China. The preferential tax treatment expired on December 31, 2009 but has been extended for another four years. The estimated tax savings for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $1,019,292 and $565,595, respectively. The net effect on basic earnings per share had the income tax been applied would decrease earnings per share from $0.15 to $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $0.15 to $0.11 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Net Income:

We achieved $4.1 million of net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million (approximately 80.2%) compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase in net income was mainly attributable to the increase in net sales, partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. The increase in net income was also attributable to a $0.5 million of change in fair value of warrants in the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments:

Foreign currency translation adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $0.9 million compared to negative $0.002 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The exchange rate was 6.60 RMB per US Dollar at December 31, 2010 versus 6.83 RMB per US Dollar at December 31, 2009.

Loans from Related Parties:

During the normal course of the business, we, from time to time, temporarily borrow money from our principal shareholders or officers to finance the working capital as needed. The amounts are usually unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. We had shareholder loans in the amount of $1,185,062 and $1,491,616 as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. We expect to pay the balance by September 30, 2011.

Our cash balance increased by $0.4 million to $5.6 million on December 31, 2010, as compared to $5.2 million on September 30, 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.7 million, net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million and net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010.
 
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

We usually finance our operations from funds generated by operating activities. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we generated approximately $5.7 million in cash from operating activities, compared with $2.5 million cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to $4.1 million of net income, an increase in accounts payable and other payable of $0.9 million, an increase in advance from customers of $0.3 million, a decrease in advances to suppliers of $0.1 million, offset by an increase in inventory of $0.2 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.1 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we used $5.2 million in cash from investing activities, compared with $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to $1.4 million of cash used for purchase of fixed assets, $3.3 million of cash used for construction in progress and $0.5 million of cash used for purchase of mature biological assets compared to $0.3 million of cash used for purchase of fixed assets and $0.6 million of cash used for construction in progress.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we used $0.1 million from financing activities, compared with zero in cash used in financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we received $0.8 million from short-term loans, and repaid $0.6 million to short-term loans and $0.3 million to related party loans.

Outlook

Over the next twelve months, we intend to pursue our primary objective of increasing market share in the China dairy industry. We are also evaluating acquisition and consolidation opportunities in China’s fragmented dairy industry. We believe that we have sufficient funds to operate our existing business for the next twelve months. We usually finance our operations from funds generated by operating activities. However, in addition to funds available from operations, we may need external sources of capital for our expansion. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing at acceptable terms to us, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this report, 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 are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Set forth in Note 2 is the summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies included in Item 8, Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

Private Placement

On June 17, 2010, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 1,111,112 shares (the “Shares”) of our Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 555,556 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. After related fees and expenses, we received net proceeds totaling approximately $2,650,000. We intend to use the proceeds of the Transaction for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of new businesses and investments.
 
The Shares were sold at a price of $2.70 per share, and the Warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per share, subject to customary future adjustment for certain events, such as stock dividends and splits. The Warrants are exercisable at any time following issuance and expire on June 17, 2015.
 
For its services as lead placement agent, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”) received cash compensation in the amount of approximately $144,000 and warrants to purchase 53,333 shares our Common Stock (“Placement Warrants”) on the same terms as the Warrants.  FT Global Capital, Inc. served as our co-placement agent for the transaction and received cash compensation in the amount of approximately $36,000 and 13,333 Placement Warrants.
 
Also in connection with the Transaction and pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into with each of the Purchasers  (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), we filed a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the Shares and the shares our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Placement Warrants on July 16, 2010, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2010.  We are obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all securities therein are sold or otherwise can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, without any restrictions. 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 
 
 
24
 
 

 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

A restated description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the descriptions of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ended September 30, 2010. The following factors should be reviewed carefully, in conjunction with the other information contained in this Report and our consolidated financial statements. These factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated and contained in forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. See “Part I—Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
 
We have a limited operating history, having commenced operations in 2002. We grew to our present size in 2008 following our acquisition of Cayman Mega and our acquisition of Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue, and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue in 2010.  Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early-stage companies in evolving markets in the PRC. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

  offer new products to attract and retain a larger customer base;
 
  attract additional customers and increase spending per customer;
 
  increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop customer loyalty;
 
  respond to competitive market conditions;
 
  respond to changes in our regulatory environment;
 
  manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;
 
  maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;
 
  raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business; and
 
  attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.
 
Because we are a relatively new company, we may not be experienced enough to address all the risks in our business or in our expansion. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, it may have a negative impact on our results of operations.
 
 
  25
 
 

 
The milk products business is highly competitive and, therefore, we face substantial competition in connection with the marketing and sale of our products.
 
Our products compete with other premium quality dairy brands as well as less expensive, non-premium brands. Our milk products face competition from non-premium milk producers distributing milk in our marketing area and other milk producers packaging their milk in glass bottles and other special packaging which serve portions of our marketing area. Most of our competitors are well-established, have greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources, have been in business for longer periods of time than we have, and have products that have gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace. The largest of our competitors are state-owned dairies owned by the government of China. Large foreign milk companies have also entered the milk industry in China. Greater financial resources of such competitors will permit them to procure retail store shelf space and to implement extensive marketing and promotional programs, both generally and in direct response to our advertising claims. The milk industry is also characterized by the frequent introduction of new products, accompanied by substantial promotional campaigns. We may be unable to compete successfully or our competitors may develop products which have superior qualities or gain wider market acceptance than ours.
 
Changing consumer preferences make demand for our products unpredictable.
 
We are subject to changing consumer preferences and nutritional and health-related concerns. Our business could be affected by certain consumer concerns about dairy products, such as the fat, cholesterol, calorie, sodium and lactose content of such products. Many potential customers in China are lactose intolerant, and may therefore prefer other beverages. We could become subject to increased competition from companies whose products or marketing strategies address these consumer concerns more effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We are subject to market and channel risks.
 
We primarily sell our products through distributors.  Because of this, we are dependent to a large degree upon the success of our PRC-based distribution channel as well as the success of specific retailers in the distribution channel. We rely on these distribution channels to purchase, market, and sell our products.  Our success is dependent, to a large degree, on the growth and success of retail stores, which may be outside our control.  There can be no assurance that the retail channels will be able to grow or prosper as they face price and service pressure from other channels.  There can be no assurance that retailers in the retail store distribution channel, in the aggregate, will respond or continue to respond to our marketing commitment in these channels.  The result of such potential negative changes to our market channels could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We are highly dependent upon consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products. Any ill effects, product liability claims, recalls, adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular ingredients or products or our industry in general, could harm our reputation and damage our brand, result in costly and damaging recalls, and expose us to government investigations and sanctions, which would materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We sell products for human consumption, which involves risks such as product contamination, spoilage and tampering. We may be subject to liability if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness or death. Adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular ingredients, our products, our actions relating to our products, or our industry in general could result in a substantial drop in demand for our products. Negative public perception may include publicity regarding the safety or quality of particular ingredients or products in general, of other companies or of our products or ingredients specifically. Negative public perception may also arise from regulatory investigations or product liability claims, regardless of whether those investigations involve us or whether any product liability claim is successful against us.
 
In 2008, sales in China of substandard milk formula contaminated with a substance known as melamine caused the death of six infants as well as illness in nearly 300,000 others.  Although this incident did not involve any of our products, China’s Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine found that the products of 22 Chinese milk and formula producers were contaminated by melamine, a substance not approved for use in food, which caused significant negative publicity for the entire dairy industry in China. Although we believe that the inevitable contraction in the Chinese milk powder industry caused by this crisis should lead to increased demand for our products, the illnesses caused by contamination in the milk powder industry, whether or not related to our products, may lead to a sustained decrease in demand for milk powder products produced within China, thereby having a negative impact on our results of operations.
 
In addition, we believe that the 2008 melamine incident and any other adverse news related to formula products in China will also result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our industry, which may result in increased costs and reduce our margins and profitability. The government of the PRC has enhanced its regulations on the industry aimed to ensure the safety and quality of dairy products, including but not limited to, compulsory batch-by-batch inspection. Compliance with these enhancements is likely to increase our operating costs and capital expenditures.
 
 
26
 
 

 
We may experience problems with product quality or product performance, or the perception of such problems, which could adversely affect our reputation or result in a decrease in customers and revenue, unexpected expenses and loss of market share.
 
Our operating results depend, in part, on our ability to deliver high quality products in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our quality control and food safety management systems are complex. If the quality of any of our products deteriorates, it could result in shipment delays, order cancellations, customer returns, customer complaints, loss of goodwill, and harm to our brand and reputation.
 
Any quality problems associated with the milk powder produced by these suppliers would also affect our products’ quality and lead to negative publicity against us, adversely affect our reputation and brand, and cause a decrease in sales of our products and a loss of market share.
  
We depend on suppliers for approximately eighty-five percent of our raw milk and other raw materials, a shortage of which could result in reduced production and sales revenues and/or increased production costs. We also may be exposed to the risks associated with failure in suppliers’ quality control.
 
Raw milk is the primary raw material we use to produce our products. As we pursue our growth strategy, we expect our raw milk demands to continue to grow. Though we have our own cow farm, approximately eighty-five percent of our raw milk comes from milk farmers outside our Company. Our raw milk supply is limited by the ability of the individual dairy farmers to provide raw milk in the amount and quality to meet our requirements. Raw milk production is, in turn, influenced by a number of factors that are beyond our control including, but not limited to, the following:

 
seasonal/ climate factors: dairy cows generally produce more milk in temperate weather than in cold or hot weather/ climate and extended unseasonably cold or hot weather could lead to lower than expected production;
 
 
environmental factors: the volume and quality of milk produced by dairy cows is closely linked to the quality of the nourishment provided by the environment around them, and, therefore, if environmental factors cause the quality of nourishment to decline, milk production could decline and we may have difficulty finding sufficient raw milk; and

 
governmental, agricultural and environmental policy: declines in government grants, subsidies, provision of land, technical assistance and other changes in agricultural and environmental policies may have a negative effect on the viability of individual dairy farms, and the numbers of dairy cows and quantities of milk they are able to produce.
 
We purchase approximately eighty-five percent of our raw milk from individual dairy farmers without long-term contractual arrangements and do not have guaranteed supply contracts with any of our raw material suppliers. Some of our suppliers may, without notice or penalty, terminate their relationship with us at any time. If any supplier is unwilling or unable to provide us with high quality raw materials in required quantities and at acceptable prices, we may be unable to find alternative sources at commercially acceptable prices, on satisfactory terms, in a timely manner, or at all.
 
In addition, the supply of raw milk may be insufficient to meet demand which would limit our growth. In order to meet our projected needs, we expect that we will need to continue to increase the number of milk collection centers from which we source our raw milk and purchase cows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to acquire additional milk collection centers or that there will be sufficient supplies of raw milk from individual dairy farmers and cooperatives to be provided to any milk collection centers. If we are not able to renew our contracts with suppliers or find new suppliers to provide raw milk, we will not be able to meet our production goals and our sales revenues will fall.  Any interruption in our supply of raw milk could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.
 
If we are forced to expand our sources for raw milk as we attempt to implement our growth strategy, it may become increasingly difficult for us to maintain our quality control over the handling of the products in our supply and manufacturing chain.  A decrease in the quality of our raw materials would cause a decrease in the quality of our products and could damage our reputation and cause sales to decrease.
 
Even if we are able to source sufficient quantities of raw milk or our other raw materials to meet our needs, downturns in the supply of such raw materials caused by one or more of these factors could lead to increased raw material costs which we may not be able to pass on to the consumers of our products, causing our profit margins to decrease.
 
 
27
 
 

 
We maintain inventories of raw materials and finished products, and our inventories may spoil.
 
Most of our finished products have an average shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Our raw materials, excluding raw milk, have an average shelf life of 12 months. Our inventory levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future sales. While we do not currently maintain large inventory levels for long periods, we may in future periods experience inventory buildup if our sales decrease for any reason. Any significant shortfall in sales may result in higher inventory levels of raw materials and finished products than we require, thereby increasing our risk of inventory spoilage and corresponding inventory write-downs and write-offs, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
  
Possible volatility of raw milk costs makes our operating results difficult to predict, and a steep cost increase could cause our profits to diminish significantly.
 
The current policy of China in effect since the mid-1990s has focused on moving the dairy industry in a more market-oriented direction. These reforms have resulted in the potential for greater price volatility relative to past periods, as prices are more responsive to the fundamental supply and demand aspects of the market. These changes in China’s dairy policy could increase the risk of price volatility in the dairy industry, making our net income difficult to predict. Also, if raw material prices are allowed to escalate sharply, our costs will rise which will lead to a decrease in profits. The raw materials we use are subject to price fluctuations due to various factors beyond our control, including increasing market demand, inflation, severe climatic and environmental conditions, commodity price fluctuations, currency fluctuations, changes in governmental and agricultural regulations and programs and other factors. We also expect that our raw material prices will continue to fluctuate and be affected by inflation in the future. Changes to our raw material prices may result in increases in production and packaging costs, and we may be unable to raise the prices of our products to offset these increased costs in the short-term or at all. As a result, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
 
We might face an inventory write-down if milk powder inventory continues to increase and milk powder prices continue to decline.
 
Due to the decline in the consumption of dairy based products in the PRC as a result of the melamine contamination incident in 2008 and the significant increase in milk powder imports, there has been a nationwide inventory build up of domestically produced milk powder in the PRC. According to the Dairy Industry Association of China, as of April 6, 2009, surplus milk powder inventory in the PRC was estimated at 300,000 tons. Such inventory build up has caused a significant decline in milk powder prices. If milk powder inventory continues to rise and the milk powder prices continue to fall, we might face significant inventory write-down which will adversely affect our financial results.

More mothers may breastfeed their babies rather than use our products, resulting in reduced demand for our products and adversely affecting our revenues.
 
Our results of operations are affected by the number of mothers who choose to use our products rather than breastfeeding their babies. Publicly available data suggests that breastfeeding has many health benefits for the baby that cannot be replicated by dairy-based infant formula products. Additionally, popular literature, cultural pressure, government policies and medical advice in China generally promote the benefits of breastfeeding. For example, on August 1, 2007, China’s Ministry of Health issued an Infant Feeding Strategy which promoted breastfeeding and requested all local relevant departments to publicize the benefits of breastfeeding through radio broadcasting, television and newspapers during World Breastfeeding Week, which took place in early August 2007. Thus, to the extent that private, public and government sources increasingly promote the benefits of breastfeeding, there could be a reduced demand for our products and our revenues could be adversely affected.
  
Any instances of counterfeiting or imitation of our milk formula product or other similar products in China could harm our reputation and damage our brand, which would materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
In the past, there have been occurrences of counterfeiting and imitation of products in China that have been widely publicized. We cannot guarantee that counterfeiting or imitation of our or similar products will not occur in the future or that we will be able to detect such counterfeiting and imitation of our products and deal with it effectively. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation could negatively impact our corporate and brand image or consumers’ perception of our products or similar nutritional products generally, particularly if the counterfeit or imitation products cause injury or death to consumers. For example, in April 2004, sales of counterfeit and substandard infant formula in Anhui, China caused the deaths of 13 infants and harmed many others. Although this incident did not involve the counterfeiting of our products, it caused significant negative publicity for the entire infant formula industry in China. The mere publication of information asserting that infant formula ingredients or products may be counterfeit could have a material adverse effect on us, regardless of whether these reports are scientifically supported or concern our products or the raw materials used in our products.
 
 

 28
 
 

 
Inadequate property and general liability insurance expose us to the risk of loss of our property as well as liability risks in the event of litigation against us.
 
Operation of our facilities involves many risks, including equipment failures, natural disasters, industrial accidents, power outages, labor disturbances and other business interruptions. Except for some automobile insurance and personal injury insurance, we and our subsidiaries do not carry enough property insurance, general liability insurance or product liability insurance to cover the full risks of our business operations. We have directors and officers insurance, but we do not have other insurance, such as product liability, business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in the PRC. As a result, any material loss or damage to our properties or other assets could lead to an increase in costs to replace or repair lost or damaged property and, possibly, a decline in revenues from lost use of the lost or damaged property.
 
Extensive regulation of the food processing and distribution industry in China could increase our expenses resulting in reduced profits.
 
We are subject to extensive regulation by China’s Agricultural Ministry, and by other county and local authorities in jurisdictions in which our products are processed or sold, regarding the processing, packaging, storage, distribution and labeling of our products. Applicable laws and regulations governing our products may include nutritional labeling and serving size requirements. Our processing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by national, county and local authorities. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with all material governmental laws and regulations and maintain all material permits and licenses relating to our operations. Nevertheless, we may fall out of substantial compliance with current laws and regulations or may be unable to comply with certain future laws and regulations. Due to the 2008 melamine contamination in China, our industry has become more highly scrutinized. It is possible that additional regulatory requirements will be implemented, and governmental enforcement efforts are likely to be more stringent.  To the extent that new regulations are adopted, we will be required to conform our activities in order to comply to such regulations, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Any future outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian influenza in China, or similar adverse public health developments, may disrupt our business and operations.
 
Our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of swine flu, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or other similar adverse public health developments. Any prolonged recurrence of an adverse public health development may result in the temporary closure of businesses in China by the PRC government in order to avoid congregation in closed spaces to help prevent disease transmission. Such occurrences would disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to specifically combat any future outbreak of swine flu, avian influenza, SARS or any other epidemic.
 
Any major outbreak of illness or disease relating to cows in China and in the regions in which we import milk powder could lead to significant shortfalls in the supply of our raw milk and milk powder, and could result in consumers’ avoiding dairy products, which could result in substantial declines in our sales and possibly substantial losses.
 
A major outbreak of any illness or disease in cows in China or globally could lead to a serious loss of consumer confidence in, and demand for, dairy products. A major outbreak of “mad cow” disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), bovine tuberculosis, or bovine TB, or other serious disease in the principal regions supplying our raw milk and milk powder could lead to significant shortfalls in the supply of our raw milk and milk powder. Limited cases of bovine TB have occurred in several parts of China in the past. Furthermore, adverse publicity about these types of concerns, whether or not valid, may discourage consumers from buying dairy products or cause production and delivery disruptions. If consumers generally were to avoid dairy products, our sales would decline substantially and we could suffer substantial losses.

We expect to incur costs related to our planned acquisitions and expansion into new plants and ventures, which may not prove to be profitable. Moreover, failure to execute our expansion plan could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We have plans to increase our annual production capacity to meet an expected increase in demand for our products. Our decision to increase our production capacity is based in part on our projections of increases in our sales volume and growth in the size of the infant formula product market in China. If actual customer demand does not meet our projections, we will likely suffer overcapacity problems and have idle capacity, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We anticipate that the proposed expansion of our milk production facilities may include the acquisition and construction of new or additional facilities. Our cost estimates and projected completion dates for construction of new production facilities may change significantly as the projects progress. In addition, our projects may entail significant construction risks, including shortages of materials or skilled labor, unforeseen environmental or engineering problems, weather interferences and unanticipated cost increases, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our projects and could delay their scheduled openings. A delay in scheduled openings of production facilities will delay our receipt of sales revenues from such facilities, which, when coupled with the increased costs and expenses of our expansion, could cause a decline in our profits.
 
 
29
 
 

 
Our plans to finance, develop, and expand our production facilities will be subject to the many risks inherent in the rapid expansion of a high growth business enterprise, including unanticipated design, construction, regulatory and operating problems, and the significant risks commonly associated with implementing a marketing strategy in changing and expanding markets. These projects may not become operational within their estimated time frames and budgets as projected at the time we enter into a particular agreement, or at all. In addition, we may develop projects as joint ventures in an effort to reduce our financial commitment to individual projects. The significant expenditures required to expand our production plants may not ultimately result in increased profits.
 
Our future success depends on our ability to expand our business to address expected growth in demand for our current and future products. Our ability to add production capacity and increase output is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including:

   
the availability of additional funding to expand our production capacity, build new processing and packaging facilities, make additional investments in our subsidiaries, acquire additional businesses or production facilities, purchase additional fixed assets and purchase raw materials on favorable terms or at all;

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

   
failure to maintain high quality control standards;

   
global or local shortage of raw materials, such as raw milk or whey protein powder;

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

   
diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and

   
failure to execute our expansion plan effectively.
 
As our business grows, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting functions, and improvements to our record keeping and contract tracking system. We will need to respond to competitive market conditions, continue to enhance existing products and develop new products, retain existing customers and attract new customers. We will also need to recruit more personnel and train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, we will need to maintain and expand our relationships with our current and future customers, suppliers, distributors and other third parties, and there is no guarantee that we will succeed.
 
When our future expansion projects become operational, we will be required to add and train personnel, expand our management information systems and control expenses. If we do not successfully address our increased management needs or are otherwise unable to manage our growth effectively, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
 
If we encounter any of the risks described above, or are otherwise unable to establish or successfully operate additional production capacity or to increase production output, we may be unable to grow our business and revenues, reduce our operating costs, maintain our competitiveness or improve our profitability, and which may have a negative impact on our results of operations.

We may not succeed in identifying suitable acquisition targets, which could adversely affect our ability to expand our operations and service offerings and enhance our competitiveness.
 
We have pursued, and may in the future pursue, strategic acquisition opportunities to increase our scale and geographic presence and expand production and the number of our product offerings. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates or, even if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to complete those transactions on terms commercially favorable to us or at all, which could adversely affect our competitiveness and our growth prospects.
 
If we acquire other companies in the future, we could face the following risks:
 
   
difficulty in assimilating the target company’s personnel, operations, products, services and technology into our operations;
 
 

 30
 
 

 
   
the presence of unforeseen or unrecorded liabilities;

   
entry into unfamiliar markets;

   
inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset acquisition costs; and

   
tax and accounting issues.
 
Employees who recently joined us as a result of acquisitions may decide not to work with us or to leave shortly after joining our Company. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and current employees and increase our expenses, including write-offs or impairment charges. Acquired companies also may not perform to our expectations for various reasons, including the loss of key personnel, key distributors, key suppliers or key customers, and our strategic focus may change. As a result, we may not realize the benefits we anticipated. If we fail to integrate acquired businesses or realize the expected benefits, we may lose the return on the investment in these acquisitions or incur additional transaction costs and our operations may be negatively impacted as a result. Further, any acquisition or investment that we attempt, whether or not completed, or any media reports or rumors with respect to any such transactions, may adversely affect our competitiveness, our growth prospects, and the value of our Common Stock.

Our business is capital intensive and our growth strategy may require additional capital that may not be available on favorable terms or at all.
   
In the past we have obtained loans and sold Common Stock or other securities to raise additional capital. Our business requires significant capital and although we believe that our current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our present and reasonably anticipated cash needs, we may, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.  If cash from available sources is insufficient or unavailable due to restrictive equity or credit markets, or if cash is used for unanticipated needs, we may require additional capital sooner than anticipated. Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:
 
 
investors’ perceptions of, and demand for, companies in our industry;

 
investors’ perceptions of, and demand for, companies operating in China;
 
 
conditions in the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;

 
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;

 
governmental regulation of foreign investment in companies in particular countries;

 
economic, political and other conditions in the United States, China, and other countries; and

 
governmental policies relating to foreign currency borrowings.
 
In the event that we are required or choose to raise additional funds, we may be unable to do so on favorable terms or at all.
 
We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financings.  There is no assurance that we will be able to secure suitable financing in a timely fashion or at all.  In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the capital we require by any other means.  Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders.  Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors.  Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities.  The issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans may have additional dilutive effects.  Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our strategy to maintain our growth and competitiveness or to fund our operations.  If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.

Our products may not achieve market acceptance.
 
We are currently selling our products in nine provinces in China. Achieving market acceptance for our products, particularly in new markets, will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds. There is substantial risk that any new markets may not accept or be receptive to our products. In addition, we intend to market our products as premium and super-premium products and to adopt a corresponding pricing model, which may not be accepted in new or existing markets. Market acceptance of our current and proposed products will depend, in large part, upon our ability to inform potential customers that the distinctive characteristics of our products make them superior to competitive products and justify their pricing. Our current and proposed products may not be accepted by consumers or able to compete effectively against other premium or non-premium dairy products. Lack of market acceptance would limit our revenues and profitability.
 
We may not possess all of the licenses required to operate our business, or we may fail to maintain the licenses we currently hold. This could subject us to fines and other penalties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are required to hold a variety of permits and licenses to operate our business in China. We may not possess all of the permits and licenses required for all of our business activities. In addition, there may be circumstances under which an approval, permit or license granted by a governmental agency is subject to change without substantial advance notice, and it is possible that we could fail to obtain an approval, permit or license that is required to expand our business as we intend. On November 1, 2010, the PRC promulgated new regulations requiring that (i) producers of dairy products and infant formula powder (even if they have obtained the production license previously) must re-apply for the production license prior to December 31, 2010 and (ii) if a producer is not able to obtain the new production license by March 1, 2011, such producer must stop its production of dairy products and infant formula powder. We are in the process of re-applying for such production license.
 
If we fail to obtain or to maintain such permits or licenses, or renewals are granted with onerous conditions, we could be subject to fines and other penalties and be limited in the number or the quality of the products that we would be able to offer. Additionally, the process of obtaining and maintaining such permits may become more difficult as a result of the 2008 melamine contamination in China, even though none of our products were implicated in the contamination incident. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
 
We depend on key personnel and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives and employees.
 
Our future prospects are heavily dependent upon the continued service of our key executives, particularly Mr. Yanbin Wang, who is the founder, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and a major shareholder of our Company. We rely on his expertise in our business operations, and on his personal relationships with the relevant regulatory authorities, our customers and suppliers. We also rely on other senior executives, such as Xiuzhen Qiao, our Chief Financial Officer. If one or more of our key executives and employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of our key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel. We do not maintain key-man life insurance for any of our key executives.
 
Furthermore, as we expect to continue to expand our operations and develop new products, we will need to continue attracting and retaining experienced management and key research and development personnel.
 
Competition for experienced management and research and development personnel in China is intense, and the availability of experienced, suitable and qualified candidates is limited. Competition for these individuals may require us to pay higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain them, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may also be unable to attract or retain the personnel necessary to achieve our business objectives, and any failure in this regard could severely disrupt our business and growth.

We incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company; our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
 
Prior to our merger in September 2008, as described in more detail in the “Overview” section below, our management had never operated a public company. As a public company with substantial operations, our legal, accounting and other expenses have increased. Preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, and other reports and information with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and furnishing audited reports to stockholders is time-consuming and costly.
 
 
32
 
 

 
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to confirm that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. As a public company, we need to document, review, test and, if appropriate, improve our internal controls and procedures in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls might entail substantial costs in order to add personnel and modify our existing accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete, and distract our officers and employees from the operation of our business.  These changes might not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and could adversely affect our operating results and our ability to operate our business.
 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud.  
 
We are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls, and to comply with other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls will prevent all possible errors or all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.

We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors.
 
Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against costs and expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf.  We have directors and officers insurance; however, we may still be required to expend substantial funds to satisfy these indemnity obligations.
 
Risks Relating to Our Corporate Structure
 
Our corporate structure, in particular our variable interest entity arrangements (the “VIE Arrangements”), are subject to significant risks, as set forth in the following risk factors. After the consummation of our Merger in September 2008, we became a holding company with no material assets other than our direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in our subsidiaries.  Currently, all our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary Harbin Rodobo and through Qinggang Mega, with which we have a VIE Arrangement.  We currently expect that the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries will primarily be retained and used by us in their operations.
 
On January 1, 2009, Harbin Mega, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a series of VIE Arrangements with Qinggang Mega and its two shareholders, pursuant to which Harbin Mega effectively assumed management of the business activities of Qinggang Mega and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the Board of Directors of Qinggang Mega.  Qinggang Mega is currently considered for accounting purposes a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and we are considered its primary beneficiary, enabling us to consolidate its financial results in our consolidated financial statements.

We depend upon the VIE Arrangements in conducting our business in the PRC, which may not be as effective as direct ownership.
 
Our affiliation with Qinggang Mega is managed through several exclusive agreements between us and Qinggang Mega, which are considered to be variable interest entity contractual arrangements.  The VIE Arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Qinggang Mega as direct ownership. The VIE Arrangements are governed by the PRC laws and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in China under the auspices of China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission. Accordingly, the VIE Arrangements would be interpreted in accordance with the PRC laws. If Qinggang Mega or its shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the VIE Arrangements, we may have to rely on legal remedies under the PRC laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, and there is a risk that we may be unable to obtain these remedies. The legal environment in China is not as developed as in other jurisdictions. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce the VIE Arrangements.
 
33
 
 
 

 
Because we rely on the Consulting Services Agreement with Qinggang Mega for part of our revenue, the termination of this agreement will materially and adversely affect our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure.
 
We are a holding company and a substantial part of our business operations are conducted through the contractual arrangements between Qinggang Mega and us. As a result, we currently rely on consulting fees from Qinggang Mega pursuant to the Consulting Services Agreement entered into by and between Harbin Mega and Qinggang Mega on January 1, 2009, for approximately 10% of our revenues. The Consulting Services Agreement may be terminated by written notice of Qinggang Mega or us in the event that: (a) one party causes a material breach of the agreements, provided that if the breach does not relate to a financial obligation of the breaching party, that party may attempt to remedy the breach within 14 days following the receipt of the written notice; (b) one party becomes bankrupt, insolvent, is the subject of proceedings or arrangements for liquidation or dissolution, ceases to carry on business, or becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due; (c) we terminate our operations; (d) Qinggang Mega’s business license or any other license or approval for its business operations is terminated, cancelled or revoked; or (e) circumstances arise which would materially and adversely affect the performance or the objectives of the agreement.
 
Additionally, we may terminate the Consulting Services Agreement without cause. Because neither we nor our subsidiaries own equity interests in Qinggang Mega, if we terminated the Consulting Services Agreement we would no longer receive payments from Qinggang Mega under our current holding company structure. While we are currently not aware of any event or reason that may cause the Consulting Services Agreement to terminate, we cannot assure you that such an event or reason will not occur in the future. In the event that the Consulting Services Agreement is terminated, this may have a severe and detrimental effect on our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure, which, in turn, may affect the value of your investment.
 
 We may not be able to consolidate the financial results of some of our affiliated companies or such consolidation could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
 
A portion of our business is conducted through Qinggang Mega, which currently is considered for accounting purposes a VIE, and we are considered the primary beneficiary, enabling us to consolidate its financial results in our consolidated financial statements. If in the future a company we have VIE arrangements with no longer meets the definition of a VIE, or we are deemed not to be the primary beneficiary, we would not be able to consolidate line by line that entity’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements for PRC financial reporting purposes. Also, if in the future an affiliate company becomes a VIE and we become the primary beneficiary, we would be required to consolidate that entity’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements for PRC financial reporting purposes. If such entity’s financial results were negative, this could have a corresponding negative impact on our operating results for PRC financial reporting purposes. In addition, any material variations in the accounting principles, practices and methods used in preparing financial statements for PRC financial reporting purposes from the principles, practices and methods generally accepted in the United States and in SEC accounting regulations must be discussed, quantified and reconciled in financial statements for United States and SEC purposes.
 
The contractual arrangements between the Company and Qinggang Mega may result in adverse tax consequences.
 
PRC laws and regulations emphasize the requirement of an arm’s length basis for transfer pricing arrangements between related parties. The laws and regulations also require enterprises with related party transactions to prepare transfer pricing documentation to demonstrate the basis for determining pricing, the computation methodology and detailed explanations. Related party arrangements and transactions may be subject to challenge or tax inspection by the PRC tax authorities.
 
Under a tax inspection, if the transfer pricing arrangements between Qinggang Mega and us are judged as tax avoidance, or related documentation does not meet the requirements of PRC laws and regulations, Qinggang Mega and the Company may be subject to material adverse tax consequences, such as transfer pricing adjustments. A transfer pricing adjustment could result in a reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of amounts recorded by us, which could adversely affect us by (i) increasing Qinggang Mega’s tax liabilities without reducing our subsidiaries’ tax liabilities, which could further result in interest being levied to us for unpaid taxes; or (ii) limiting the ability of our PRC companies to maintain preferential tax treatment and other financial incentives.

Our controlling shareholder has potential conflicts of interest with our Company which may adversely affect our business.
 
Mr. Yanbin Wang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, directly owns 85% of the equity interest in Qinggang Mega, our VIE.  Mr. Wang has a duty of loyalty and care to us under U.S. laws when there are any potential conflicts of interests between our Company and Qinggang Mega. We cannot assure you, however, that when conflicts of interest arise, he will act completely in our interests or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in our favor. For example, he may determine that it is in Qinggang Mega’s interests to sever the contractual arrangements with us, irrespective of the effect such action may have on us. In addition, he could violate his legal duties by diverting business opportunities from us to others, thereby affecting the amount of payment Qinggang Mega is obligated to remit to us under the Consulting Services Agreement.
 
34
 
 

 
We have outstanding short-term related party borrowings and we may not be able to obtain extensions when they mature.
 
We have a short term related party loan which, as of December 31, 2010, had a principal amount of $1,185,062 outstanding and is payable on demand.  However, in China it is customary practice for borrowers to negotiate roll-overs or renewals of short-term borrowings on an on-going basis shortly before they mature. Although we have renewed our short-term borrowings in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these loans in the future as they mature. If we are unable to obtain renewals of these loans or sufficient alternative funding on reasonable terms from banks or other parties, we will have to repay these borrowings with the cash on our balance sheet or cash generated by our future operations, if any. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay these borrowings.

We rely on the approval certificates and business license held by Qinggang Mega and any deterioration of the relationship between Qinggang Mega and us could materially and adversely affect our overall business operation.
 
Pursuant to the VIE Arrangements, a substantial part of our business in China is undertaken on the basis of the approvals, certificates and business license as well as other requisite licenses held by Qinggang Mega. There is no assurance that Qinggang Mega will be able to renew its approvals, licenses or certificates when their terms expire with substantially similar terms to those currently held.
 
Further, our relationship with Qinggang Mega is governed by the VIE Arrangements, which are intended to provide us, through our indirect ownership of wholly foreign owned enterprises, or WFOE, with effective control over the business operations of Qinggang Mega.  However, the VIE Arrangements may not be effective in providing control over the applications for and maintenance of the approvals, certificates and licenses required for our business operations. Qinggang Mega could violate the VIE Arrangements, go bankrupt, suffer from difficulties in its business or otherwise become unable to perform its obligations under the VIE Arrangements and, as a result, our operations, reputation, business and stock price could be severely harmed.

The exercise of our option to purchase part or all of the equity interests in Qinggang Mega under the option agreement, relating to one of the VIE Arrangements, might be subject to approval by the PRC government.  Our failure to obtain this approval may impair our ability to substantially control the VIE entities and could result in actions by VIE entities that conflict with our interests.
 
Our option agreement with Qinggang Mega gives us the right to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Qinggang Mega.  However, the option may not be exercised if the exercise would violate any applicable laws and regulations in China or cause any license or permit held by, and necessary for the operation of Qinggang Mega, to be cancelled or invalidated.   PRC laws regarding mergers and acquisitions would apply to the transaction if a foreign entity, while acting through a foreign investment company in which it invests, acquires a domestic related company.  Application of these regulations requires an examination and approval of the transaction by China’s Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or its local counterparts.  Also, an appraisal of the equity or assets to be acquired is mandatory. We cannot guarantee that we can pass such examination and get the approval to acquire any equity of Qinggang Mega. If we are not able to purchase the equity of Qinggang Mega, then we will lose a substantial portion of our ability to control Qinggang Mega and our ability to ensure that Qinggang Mega will act in our interests.
 
Risks Associated With Doing Business in China

Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate. Our failure to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, for the listing and trading of our Common Stock could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our Common Stock, and may also create uncertainties in the future.
 
SAFE issued a public notice in October 2005 that took effect on November 1, 2005, known as Circular 75, concerning the use of offshore holding companies in mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice provides that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to registration with the relevant foreign exchange authorities. Circular 75 also suggests that registration with the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by PRC residents of shares in an offshore holding company that owns an onshore company. PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch with respect to their ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transactions or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. Failure by us or any of our affiliates to file any such registration form or amendments, including Yanbin Wang, our CEO who has not yet filed such required amendments, could limit the ability of Harbin Rodobo and Harbin Mega Profit to remit their profit, dividends and other proceeds to offshore entities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  
35
 
 

 
 
On August 8, 2006, MOFCOM, joined by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration of Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the CSRC and SAFE released a substantially amended version of the Provisions for Foreign Investors to Merge with or Acquire Domestic Enterprises (the “Revised M&A Regulations”), which took effect September 8, 2006, as amended on June 22, 2009. The Revised M&A Regulations significantly revised China’s regulatory framework governing onshore-to-offshore restructurings and foreign acquisitions of domestic enterprises. The Revised M&A Regulations signify greater PRC government attention to cross-border merger, acquisition and other investment activities, by confirming MOFCOM as a key regulator for issues related to mergers and acquisitions in China and requiring MOFCOM approval of a broad range of merger, acquisition and investment transactions. Further, the Revised M&A Regulations establish reporting requirements for acquisition of control by foreigners of companies in key industries, and reinforce the ability of the Chinese government to monitor and prohibit foreign control transactions in key industries.
 
Among other things, the Revised M&A Regulations include new provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle, or SPV, formed for listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals must obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.  On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by SPVs seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings.  However, the application of this PRC regulation remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope and applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.
 
If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that CSRC approval was required for our restructuring, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Common Stock.
 
Also, if the CSRC later requires that we obtain its approval, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of the CSRC approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding this CSRC approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, published news reports in China indicated that the CSRC may curtail or suspend overseas listings for Chinese private companies. However, thus far, there has been no official announcement or regulation that CSRC has curtailed or suspended such listings.
 
It is uncertain how our business operations or future strategy will be affected by the interpretations and implementation of Circular 75 and the Revised M&A Regulations. It is anticipated that application of the new rules will be subject to significant administrative interpretation, and we will need to closely monitor how MOFCOM and other ministries apply the rules to ensure that our domestic and offshore activities continue to comply with PRC law. Given the uncertainties regarding interpretation and application of the new rules, we may need to expend significant time and resources to maintain compliance. In addition to that, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our future acquisition strategy and business operations. For example, if we decide to acquire additional PRC companies, we or the owners of such companies may not be able to complete the filings and registrations, if any, required by the SAFE notices. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects. Compliance with the Revised M&A Regulations and any related approval processes, including obtaining approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.
 
We are committed to compliance with Circular 75 and have taken steps to ensure that our shareholders and beneficial owners who are subject to Circular 75 also comply with the relevant rules. However, we cannot provide any assurance that all of our shareholders and beneficial owners who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make, obtain or update any applicable registrations or comply with other requirements required by the SAFE notice or other related rules. In case of any non-compliance by any of our PRC resident shareholders or beneficial owners, our PRC subsidiaries and such shareholders and beneficial owners may be subject to fines and other legal sanctions, including restriction on our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries and our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our offshore holding companies, which will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
 
 
36
 
 

 
Our recent acquisition of the Beixue Group may have required approval from the MOFCOM or other PRC authorities, and our failure to obtain such approval could result in fines, penalties or other actions by PRC authorities that could restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares.
 
We believe that the MOFCOM approval in connection with the acquisition of the Beixue Group is not required under the Revised M&A Regulations. We cannot be certain, however, that the relevant PRC government authorities, including the MOFCOM, would reach the same conclusion, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the MOFCOM may deem that the transactions effected by the share transfers circumvented the new Revised M&A Regulations, the PRC Securities Law or other rules and notices.
 
Although the Revised M&A Regulations do not explicitly declare the penalty, if the MOFCOM or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the MOFCOM’s approval is required for the transaction, we may face sanctions by the MOFCOM or another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The MOFCOM or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel the transaction.
 
The acquisitions of the Beixue Group companies also required the approval of the AIC, in the PRC which reviewed and approved the acquisition of Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue, and completed equity governmental registration by issuance of a new business license to each of Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue on March 2, 2010. During the review of such acquisitions, we did not inform the AIC of the equity consideration component of the purchase price paid to the selling shareholders’ designees. Under PRC law, the use of equity consideration of certain foreign entities in acquiring a domestic PRC entity is permitted; however, equity securities of a public company trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, or OTCBB is not a recognized form of consideration permitted by the AIC in the context of an acquisition of a domestic Chinese company by a foreign investor. In addition, such equity consideration was issued outside of the PRC to the three British Virgin Island companies.  As such, Tengshun Technology disclosed only the cash consideration payments paid to acquire Ewenkeqi Beixue and Hulunbeier Beixue at the time of filing the application with the AIC relating to such acquisitions. If the PRC authorities take the view that  we should have reported the equity consideration paid outside of PRC territory to the shareholders of the Beixue Group, instead of only the cash consideration we did report because the PRC regulations do not recognize such equity consideration paid by an OTCBB company as valid consideration, then we may be fined or penalized, in an amount up to up to RMB500,000 (approximately $75,000).
 
We also have not yet obtained AIC approval of our acquisition of Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue and will not seek to obtain such approval until we are prepared to complete the entity conversion process to effect the acquisition.   We do not believe that AIC will approve the transfer of the equity interest in  Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue from Mr. Honghai Zhang to Tengshun Technology at this time because Tengshun Technology cannot be the owner of a sole proprietary enterprise under PRC law. As such, to complete the entity conversion process, we are currently making efforts to (i) cause Mr. Honghai Zhang to transfer to Tengshun Technology all of his interests and ownership in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy, (ii) cause Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue to transfer its assets to Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy, (iii) thereafter deregister Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, and (iv) obtain any requisite AIC approval of such actions.  We expect this entity conversion process to be completed by the end of March 2011, at which time Tengshun Technology will own all the equity interests in Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue Dairy. Although we believe AIC will approve of the Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue acquisition, no assurance can be given that it will be so approved.
 
The Revised M&A Regulations, rules of the AIC, and foreign exchange regulations discussed in the above subsection, will be interpreted or implemented by the relevant government authorities in connection with our future offshore financings or acquisitions, and we cannot predict how they will affect our acquisition strategy. For example, our operating companies’ ability to remit dividends to us, or to engage in foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, may be conditioned upon compliance with the SAFE registration requirements by such Chinese domestic residents, over whom we may have no control. In addition, such Chinese domestic residents may be unable to complete the necessary approval and registration procedures required by the SAFE regulations. Such uncertainties may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and prospects.
 
The PRC government’s recent measures to curb inflation rates could adversely affect future results of operations.
 
In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation.  Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation.  In May 2010, the change in China’s Consumer Price Index increased by 3.1% according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, or the NBS. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability.  These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation.  High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.
 
37
 
 

 
 
In recent years, the government of China undertook various measures to alleviate the effects of inflation, especially with respect to key commodities. On January 15, 2008, the PRC National Development and Reform Commission announced national price controls on various products, including milk. Similarly, the government of China may conclude that the prices of infant formula or our other products are too high and may institute price controls that would limit our ability to set prices for our products as we might wish. The government of China has also encouraged local governments to institute price controls on similar products. Such price controls could adversely affect our future results of operations and, accordingly, the price of our Common Stock.
 
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties over which we have little or no control and we may be unable to alter our business practices in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.
 
Doing business in China, subjects us to various risks including changing economic and political conditions, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts and unexpected changes in United States and foreign laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, transportation regulations, foreign investments and taxation. Changes in the PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice. We have no control over most of these risks and may be unable to anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions. Therefore, we may be unable to alter our business practices in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.

We derive all of our sales from customers in China and a slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Substantially all of our assets, and the assets of our operating subsidiary, are located in China and our revenue is derived from our operations in China. We anticipate that our revenues generated in China will continue to represent all of our revenues in the near future. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, we cannot assure you that such growth will continue. In addition, the Chinese government also exercises significant control over Chinese economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Efforts by the Chinese government to slow the pace of growth of the Chinese economy could result in reduced demand for our products. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our business.
 
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
 
We are dependent on our relationship with the local government in the provinces in which we operate our business.  The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership.  Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments in the PRC provinces may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations or enforcement of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
 
In addition, another obstacle to our operations in China is governmental, judicial and other corruption. There are significant risks that we will be unable to obtain necessary permits or licenses, or recourse in any legal disputes with suppliers, customers or other parties with whom we conduct business, if desired, as a result of China’s underdeveloped governmental and judicial systems.

If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our Common Stock and our Common Stock price may decrease.
 
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our Common Stock.
 
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchanges may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese RMB  into foreign currencies and, if Chinese RMB were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese Renminbi, or RMB. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to local currencies. For example, the value of the RMB depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the RMB had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese RMB to the U.S. dollar.  Under the new policy, Chinese RMB may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The four main currencies in the basket are the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen and the Korean won. In the three years that followed, a slight appreciation against the U.S. currency occurred and by the end of October 2008, the Chinese RMB exchange rate with the U.S. dollar had risen to nearly 6.8 to the U.S. dollar. Since mid-2008, the Chinese RMB has been held stable as the Chinese government considers how best to respond to the global economic crisis. In June 2010, the temporary dollar peg was again abandoned, after the Chinese RMB rose approximately 16% against the Euro as a result of the Greek fiscal crisis. However, the Chinese government has signaled that going forward its currency will only be allowed to appreciate gradually against the dollar. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese RMB against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese RMB will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.
 
Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation.  If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.  In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss.  We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future.  The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to hedge our exchange rate risks.

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively and to pay dividends.
 
All of our sales revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. Under PRC law, the RMB is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Currently, our PRC operating subsidiaries may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payments of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements.  However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future. Since substantially all of our future revenue will be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies.
 
Foreign exchange transactions by PRC operating subsidiaries under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of or need to register with PRC government authorities, including SAFE. In particular, if our PRC operating subsidiaries borrow foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with SAFE, and if we finance our PRC operating subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities, including the MOFCOM, or their respective local counterparts. These limitations could affect our PRC operating subsidiaries’ ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.
 
The PRC government also may at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining foreign currency, we may be unable to meet obligations that may be incurred in the future that require payment in foreign currency.

Under the New EIT Law, as defined below, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China, which would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.
 
Under China’s Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the “New EIT Law”, and its implementing rules, which became effective in 2008, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes.  Under the implementing rules of the New EIT Law, de facto management means substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties of the enterprise.  Because the New EIT Law and its implementing rules are new, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

In April 2009, the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) issued a new circular to clarify the criteria for recognizing the resident enterprise status for Chinese controlled foreign companies.  According to the Circular Regarding the Determination Criteria on Chinese Controlled Offshore Companies as Resident Enterprises (Circular Guoshuifa 2009 No. 82), if a foreign company simultaneously satisfies the following four criteria:

   
It constitutes a Chinese controlled foreign company and shall be deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise.

   
The premises where the senior management and the senior management bodies responsible for the routine    production and business management of the enterprise perform their functions are mainly located within China.

   
The financial decisions (including, borrowing, lending, financing, financial risk management, etc.) and the personnel decisions (for example, appointment, dismissal, remuneration, etc.) of the enterprise are made by the bodies or persons within China or are subject to the approval of the bodies or persons within China.

   
The enterprise’s primary properties, accounting books, company seals, minutes and archives of the meetings of the board of directors and shareholders are located or preserved within China. The enterprise’s directors or senior management with fifty percent or more of the voting rights usually live in China.
 
Despite the issuance of the new clarifying circular referenced above, the application of these standards remains uncertain. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we will be subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification would result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC shareholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment for the 2008 and 2009 tax years and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.
 
If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to tax in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.  In addition, we have not accrued any tax liability associated with the possible payment of dividends to our U.S. parent company. Such a tax would be an added expense appearing on our income statement, which would reduce our net income.
 
Limited and uncertain trademark protection in China makes the ownership and use of our trademarks uncertain.
 
We have obtained trademark registrations for the use of our trade name “Rodobo”, which has been registered with the PRC Trademark Bureau of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce with respect to our milk products.  We have also recently registered our brand names “Peer” and “Healif” with the Trademark Bureau of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC. We believe our trademarks are important to the establishment of consumer recognition of our products.  However, due to uncertainties in PRC trademark law, the protection afforded by our trademarks may be less than we currently expect and may, in fact, be insufficient. Moreover, even if it is sufficient, in the event they are challenged or infringed, we may not have the financial resources to defend them against any challenge or infringement and such defense could in any event be unsuccessful. Moreover, any events or conditions that negatively impact our trademarks could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and finances.

Our lack of patent protection could permit our competitors to copy our trade secrets and formula and thus gain a competitive advantage.
 
We have no patents covering our products or production processes, and we expect to rely principally on know-how and the confidentiality of our formulae and production processes for our products and our flavoring formulae in producing competitive product lines. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on nondisclosure agreements with our key employees, licensing partners and other organizations to which we disclose our proprietary information. Any breach of confidentiality by our executives, employees or others having access to our formulae and processes could result in our competitors gaining access to such formulae and processes. The ensuing competitive disadvantage could reduce our revenues and our profits. The actions we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to provide us with meaningful protection or commercial advantage. As a result, third parties may use the intellectual property or proprietary technologies that we have developed and compete with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
PRC intellectual property-related laws and their implementation are still under development. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or many other countries. In addition, policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and the outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Given the relative unpredictability of China’s legal system and potential difficulties enforcing a court judgment in China, there is no guarantee that we would be able to halt the unauthorized use of our intellectual property through litigation in a timely manner or at all. Furthermore, any such litigation may be costly and may divert our management’s attention away from our business and cause us to expend significant resources. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to recover them from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and all of our directors and our officers reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the PRC.
 
All of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States. In addition, our operating subsidiary is located in the PRC and all of its assets are located outside of the United States. China does not have a treaty with United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the United States federal securities laws or otherwise.
 
The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us and you, or could lead to penalties on us.
 
The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. Our PRC operating subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. In addition, our VIE and all of our subsidiaries that are incorporated in China are subject to all applicable Chinese laws and regulations. Because of the relatively short period for enacting such a comprehensive legal system, the laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and other foreign investors, including you, and may lead to penalties imposed on us because of the different understanding between the relevant authority and us. For example, according to current tax laws and regulations, we are responsible to pay business tax on a “Self-examination and Self-application” basis. However, since there is no clear guidance as to the applicability of certain preferential tax treatments, we may be found in violation of the interpretation of local tax authorities with regard to the scope of taxable services and the percentage of tax rate and therefore might be subject to penalties, including but not limited to, monetary penalties. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws.
 
We may have limited legal recourse under the PRC laws if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.
 
The Chinese government has enacted significant laws and regulations dealing with matters, such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade.  However, the PRC’s experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our new business ventures are unsuccessful, or other adverse circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the transactions, or may hinder or prevent us from accessing important information regarding the financial and business operations of these acquired companies. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance or to seek an injunction under the PRC laws, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although legislation in China over the past 30 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment and contractual arrangements in China, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to us and foreign investors, including you.  The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our labor costs are likely to increase as a result of changes in Chinese labor laws.
 
We expect to experience an increase in our cost of labor due to recent changes in Chinese labor laws, which are likely to increase costs further and also to impose restrictions on our relationship with our employees.  In June 2007, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the PRC enacted labor law legislation called the Labor Contract Law and more strictly enforced existing labor laws.  This law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, amended and formalized workers’ rights concerning overtime hours, pensions, layoffs, employment contracts and the role of trade unions.  As a result of this law, we had to reduce the number of hours of overtime our employees can work, substantially increase the salaries of our employees, provide additional benefits to our employees, and revise certain of our other labor practices. The increase in labor costs has increased our operating costs, and we have not always been able to pass through this increase to our customers. As a result, we have incurred certain operating losses as our costs of manufacturing increased.  No assurance can be given that we will not in the future be subject to labor strikes or that we will not have to make other payments to resolve future labor issues.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the labor laws will not change further or that their interpretation and implementation and enforcement will not vary, which may have a negative effect upon our business and results of operations.
 
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC. We can make no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we make equity compensation grants to persons who are PRC citizens, they may be required to register with SAFE. We may also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt equity compensation plans for our directors and employees and other parties under PRC laws.
 
On March 28, 2007, SAFE issued the “Operating Procedures for Administration of Domestic Individuals Participating in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan or Stock Option Plan of An Overseas Listed Company,” also known as “Circular 78.” It is not clear whether Circular 78 covers all forms of equity compensation plans or only those which provide for the granting of stock options. For any plans which are so covered and are adopted by a non-PRC listed company, such as our Company, after March 28, 2007, Circular 78 requires all participants who are PRC citizens to register with and obtain approvals from SAFE prior to their participation in the plan. In addition, Circular 78 also requires PRC citizens to register with SAFE and make the necessary applications and filings if they participated in an overseas listed company’s covered equity compensation plan prior to March 28, 2007. We believe that the registration and approval requirements contemplated in Circular 78 will be burdensome and time consuming.
 
In the future, we may adopt an equity incentive plan and make numerous stock option grants under the plan to our officers, directors and employees, some of whom are PRC citizens and may be required to register with SAFE. If it is determined that any of our equity compensation plans are subject to Circular 78, failure to comply with such provisions may subject us and participants of any such equity incentive plan who are PRC citizens to fines and legal sanctions and prevent us from being able to grant equity compensation to our PRC employees. In that case, our ability to compensate our employees and directors through equity compensation would be hindered and our business operations may be adversely affected.

Due to various restrictions under PRC laws on the distribution of dividends by our PRC operating companies, we may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders.
 
The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended and the Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended and the Company Law of the PRC (2006) contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises. Under these regulations WFOE’s may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, a WFOE is required to set aside a certain amount of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds.  These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends, except in the event of liquidation, and cannot be used for working capital purposes.   
 
Furthermore, if any of our consolidated subsidiaries in China incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict our ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our consolidated subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations due to these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our Common Stock. In addition, under WFOE regulations mentioned above, we must retain a reserve equal to 10 percent of net income after taxes, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital. Accordingly, this reserve will not be available to be distributed as dividends to our shareholders. We presently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Our management intends to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
The PRC historically has been deficient in western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking and other control systems.  We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC.  As a result of these factors, and especially given that we expect to be an exchange listed company in the U.S. and subject to regulation as such, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet western standards.  We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.  Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.  This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the public announcement of such deficiencies could adversely impact our stock price.
 
Our bank accounts are not insured or protected against loss.
 
We maintain our cash with various banks located in China. Our cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank holding our cash deposits become insolvent, or if we are otherwise unable to withdraw funds, we would lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank.

Risks Related to an Investment in our Common Stock

Our Common Stock have historically been thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near asking prices or at all if you desire to sell your shares.
 
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB, where they have historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Common Stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.  This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.  As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.  We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained.
 
The market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.  The price at which you purchase our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.  You may be unable to sell your Common Stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.  The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors.  First, as noted above, our Common Stock have historically been sporadically and/or thinly traded.  As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction.  The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our Common Stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.  Second, we are considered a speculative or “risky” investment due to our fluctuating level of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our current and potential products.  As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.  The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our Common Stock:  actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes; and additions or departures of our key personnel, as well as other items discussed under this “Risk Factors” section, as well as elsewhere in this registration statement. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance.  We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time, including as to whether our Common Stock will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of Common Stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
  
Volatility in the market price of our Common Stock may subject us to securities litigation.
 
The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.  In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.  We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation.  Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
 
Our corporate actions are substantially influenced by our principal stockholders and affiliated entities.
 
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, our directors, officers and their affiliated entities own or have the beneficial ownership right to approximately 44.2% of our outstanding Common Stock, and have approximately 61.0% of our voting power.  These stockholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters, such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions.  In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our Board of Directors will generally be within the control of these stockholders and their affiliated entities.  While all of our stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities.  As such, it would be difficult for stockholders to propose and have proposals approved that are not supported by management.  There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors, and their affiliated entities, in their capacity as stockholders will be viewed favorably by all stockholders of our Company.
 
Past company activities prior to the reverse merger may lead to future liability for our Company.
 
Prior to our acquisition of Cayman Mega in September 2008, we were engaged in businesses unrelated to our current operations.  Although the prior business owners provided certain indemnifications against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based on any breach of or inaccuracy in any of their representations and warranties made regarding such acquisition, any liabilities relating to such prior business against which we are not completely indemnified may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
Future sales of our shares, or the perception by the market that future sales of our shares may occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
 
Future sales, or the perception of the availability for sale in the public market, of substantial amounts of our Common Stock could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Our Common Stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.
 
Our Common Stock, which is currently quoted for trading on the OTCBB, may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and our shares of Common Stock have a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our Common Stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our Common Stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in clause (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our Common Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

We issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock which has six votes per share and our Board of Directors has the right to issue up to an additional 28,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, which may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our existing securities and may deter hostile takeovers or delay changes in management control.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may issue a total of up to 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, and with such rights, preferences and designations as our Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Our Board of Directors, without further approval of holders of our Common Stock, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and other rights and restrictions relating to any series of our preferred stock. Issuances of shares of preferred stock could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other securities and may, under certain circumstances, have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in management control.  Such an issuance would dilute existing stockholders, and the securities issued could have rights, preferences and designations superior to our Common Stock.  
 
In connection with our acquisition in February 2010, of Ewenkeqi Beixue, Hulunbeier Beixue, and Hulunbeier Hailaer Beixue, through our wholly owned subsidiary Tengshun Technology, we issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Fortune Fame International Limited, a company which Yanbin Wang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer serves as the sole executive director.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into Common Stock, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock has six votes per share and votes as one class with our Common Stock on all matters submitted to our shareholders.
 
We do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and we do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their shares of our Company at or above the price they paid for them.
