You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 9 and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making an investment decision.  Unless the context otherwise requires, The "Company", "we," "us," and "our," refer to (i) Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. (“Rongfu”), (iii) Flourishing Blessing (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Flourishing HK”) and  (iv) Guangzhou Flourishing Blessing Heng Seng Agriculture Technology Limited (the “WOFE” or “Guangzhou Flourishing”). Certain references to ownership and other rights of the Company in this prospectus  include the rights of Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquatic Co., Ltd. and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng Acquit Germchit Co., Ltd. which we are attributing to the Company by virtue of the Contractual Agreements described below. All information contained herein for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2010 is unaudited.
 
Our Business
 
Through our subsidiaries and the Contractual Agreements described below, we are engaged in commercial freshwater aquaculture in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Aquaculture is the cultivation or farming of fish under controlled conditions (as contrasted with the harvesting of fish in the wild). We cultivate fish in fresh water (not marine (salt water) or brackish environments), sell fish and fish fry (juvenile fish) and also act as a dealer of freshwater fish (generating trading profits from the purchase of fish from third party farmers and the immediate re-sale of such fish to wholesalers and processors).

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”) we sold more than 38,000 tons of adult fish to frozen fish processors and wholesalers in Guangdong Province and Hainan Province, PRC and we sold approximately 370 million fry to distributors, which in turn sold such fry to other farmers to cultivate.

Our Industry
 
Aquaculture is the science, art, or practice of cultivating and harvesting aquatic organisms, including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, aquatic plants, and algae such as seaweed. Operating in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments, aquaculture provides food for people and in smaller amounts supplies fish for stocking lakes, bait for fishing, and live specimens for home aquariums. According to a recent study by the World Food and Agriculture Organization (“FAO”) published on March 2, 2009, world fisheries production reached a new high of 143.6 million metric tons in 2006, including farmed and ocean caught product. The contribution of aquaculture to the world fisheries production in 2006 was 51.7 million tons of fish, which was 36 percent of world fisheries production in 2006, up from 3.6 percent in 1970. Global aquaculture accounted for 6 percent of the fish available for human consumption in 1970. In 2006 global aquaculture accounted for 47 percent of the fish available for human consumption according to the FAO. The FAO report also describes that over half of the global aquaculture in 2006 was freshwater finfish. Based on the FAO’s projections, it is estimated that in order to maintain the current level of per capita consumption, global aquaculture production will need to reach in excess of 80 million tons of fish by 2050.

Also according to the FAO, in 2006 China contributed approximately 67% of the total quantity and 49% of the total value of worldwide aquaculture production. In China, approximately 90% of fish production comes from aquaculture. China’s aquatic production for 2009 is forecast to have reached 49.5 metric tons (“MMT”), an increase of approximately two percent from the estimated 48.6 MMT of production in 2008.
 
Inland aquaculture is very important part of China fishery industry. Freshwater aquaculture is carried out in fish ponds, lakes, reservoirs, canals, pens, cages, and paddy fields. Freshwater aquaculture production is dominated by finfish, particularly silver, grass and other carps. Pond culture is the most important source of inland aquaculture, with an estimated share of 73.9% in 1996. More than 4.5 million Chinese farmers are engaged in aquaculture, more than the rest of the world combined.

In 2005, according to the American Tilapia Association (“ATA”), tilapia production worldwide was second in volume to carp, and it is projected by the ATA that tilapia will become the most important aquaculture crop in the 21st century. Commercial production of tilapia has become popular in many countries around the world. Touted as the “new white fish” to replace the depleted ocean stocks of cod, pollock, and hake, world tilapia production continues to rise and at least 100 countries currently raise tilapia, with the PRC being the largest producer. The American Tilapia Association further reports that world production of tilapia products reached approximately 2.5 million metric tons in 2007, of which China produced the dominant share of 45.0 percent.

Our Principal Competitive Strengths

We believe we have the following principal competitive strengths:
 
 
Quality Products. We produce fish products and have developed a farming system that avoids the use of potentially toxic chemicals, drugs, pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, pollutants and other substances. We believe that we fully comply with the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution. Our fish are raised in ponds of pure rain water collected for aquaculture. We use high quality fish food to comply with the safety rules and regulations in the PRC.
 
 
Vertically Integrated Operations. Vertical integration of our operations allows us to control and monitor quality, as well as reduce costs. Through our cooperative arrangements with local farmers, we train them to our production methods, while monitoring constantly the quality of production until harvest.
 
 
Environmental and Quality Assurances. We have adopted and implemented stringent quality control measures and procedures throughout the production process, in order to comply with the various environmental and quality standards. In order to supply to food processing companies, we have complied with the Food Safety Law of the PRC, which became effective on June 1, 2009. We use advanced technologies in our farming, feed formulation and processing operations. We have adopted modern and environmentally friendly and responsible technology in our growing process of fishes.
 
 
Strategic Location in Guangdong Province, PRC. Our processing facilities are geographically well-positioned in Guangdong Province to leverage favorable climatic conditions, abundant water supply, a pristine environment and a readily available source of labor for our processing plant. Furthermore, our logistics center is conveniently located near the farmers from whom we obtain our supply of fish and it is also in close proximity to our new cooperative fish farms.
 
 
Competitive Cost Structure. We benefit from competitive cost structures due to the lower labor costs in China and the streamline of the supply chain transactions to increase the logistics efficiencies. We also believe that we are able to trim our operating costs by procurement of fry and fish food at relatively low cost and deployment of advanced methods for cultivation.
 
 
·
Experienced Management – The senior management has extensive experience in fish farming in Guangdong Province in China. Mr. Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman, has over 30 years experience in the field of aquaculture. He also serves as the Chairman of Foshan Nanhai Aquaculture Association and we believe that he has great influence in the development of the industry in Guangdong Province.

Our Growth Strategies
 
 
Domestic Sales and Marketing Efforts. The recent establishment of our sales office in Hangzhou on May 2010 will help us further roll out our products outside of Guangdong Province. Following the opening of our logistics center in May 2010, we can explore new sales networks for other regions to meet customer needs and thus advance our new branding and marketing initiative around our “Ke Da Heng Sheng” brand of our adult fish and fish fry products.
 
 
Strong Research and Development Team. We have an established and strong research and development team to enhance our growing technology and have close cooperation with leading research institutes with the aim to develop new strains of fish. We plan to add more breeding types of fish to meet the demand of farmers and to deliver “all-season” fry (fry that are raised and grown all year long) to smooth out our production cycle and enable us to minimize price fluctuations and generate more consistent revenue throughout the year.
 
 
Expansion of Cooperative Farming. We plan to expand our cooperative farming arrangements to increase the availability of our products to meet anticipated growth in demand.
 
 
Expansion of Production Facilities. We plan to expand our production facilities to satisfy the anticipated growing demand for our products.
 
Our Corporate Structure

Our current structure is set forth in the diagram below:

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, and a failure to do so could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
 
We plan to expand our current production capacity. Planned expenditures for land, equipment, acquisition of companies and market expansion are approximately $20 million over the next two years. Even if we are able to secure the funds necessary to implement these expenditures (of which there is no assurance), we will face management, resource and other challenges in expanding our current facilities, integrating acquired assets or businesses with our own, and managing expanding product offerings. Failure to effectively deal with increased demands on our resources could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause production backlogs, longer product development time frames and administrative inefficiencies. Other challenges involved with expansion, acquisitions and operation include:
 
unanticipated costs;
 
the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
 
potential adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
 
obtaining sufficient working capital to support expansion;
 
expanding our product offerings and maintaining the high quality of our products;
 
maintaining adequate control of our expenses and accounting systems;
 
successfully integrating any future acquisitions; and
 
 
9

 

anticipating and adapting to changing conditions in the aquaculture industry, whether from changes in government regulations, mergers and acquisitions involving our competitors, technological developments or other economic, competitive or market dynamics.
 
Even if we do obtain benefits of expansion in the form of increased sales, there may be a lag between the time when the expenses associated with an expansion or acquisition are incurred and the time when we recognize such benefits, which would affect our earnings.

The new cooperative model we are developing will require substantial investment and reliance upon independent farmers and there can be no assurance that the model will be successful.

We are developing a new cooperative business model which will rely more heavily on independent fish farmers to grow fish for us to purchase and re-sell. The new model will require substantial working capital from us because we intend to provide farmers fish fry to grow and not receive payment for the fry at the time we provide the fry. The cost of the fry provided to each farmer will be recorded as a receivable from such farmer on our books and recouped by us when we purchase adult fish from the farmer. A return on our investment will be dependent upon our success in training farmers in our techniques and insuring uniform quality. Currently, most of the independent farmers lack the necessary expertise and management experience needed to economically produce healthy adult fish.

Any actual contamination of our products resulting from processing, packaging or transit of our products, or negative press from contamination experienced by other companies in our industry may adversely affect our operations or reduce our margins or profits.

We actively seek to control the quality of our products and avoid risk of contamination in the distribution of such products. However, no quality control program is guaranteed to be completely effective. We are dependent on others for the reliable processing, packaging and safe transportation of our products to the market place and the quality of our final product as experienced by the consumer may be impacted by disruptions in the processing, packaging and transit process beyond our control. In addition, if our competitors experience problems with contamination of their products, even if we do not concurrently suffer similar adverse events, publicity of such problems could negatively impact our reputation. Actual contamination or reports of industry problems with contamination or poor quality may have a material adverse effect on our operations, including an increase in product liability claims, higher quality control and transport costs, reduced margins and decreased consumer interest in our products.

We may be adversely affected by the fluctuation in raw material prices and selling prices of our products.

Neither our products nor the raw materials we use have experienced any significant price fluctuations since we began operation, but there is no assurance that they will not be subject to future price fluctuations or pricing control. The products and raw materials we use may experience price volatility caused by events such as market fluctuations or changes in governmental programs. The market price of these raw materials may also experience significant upward adjustment, if, for instance, there is a material under-supply or over-demand in the market. These price changes may ultimately result in increases in the selling prices of our products, and may, in turn, adversely affect our sales volume, revenue and operating profit.

We could be adversely affected by the occurrence of natural disasters in Guangdong and Hainan Provinces.

From time to time, both Guangdong and Hainan Provinces experience typhoons, particularly from June through September of any given year. Natural disasters could impede operations, damage infrastructure necessary to our operations or adversely affect the logistical services to and from such provinces. Even though we currently have insurance against damage caused by natural disasters, including typhoons, accidents or similar events, the occurrence of natural disasters in Hainan and Guangdong Provinces could adversely affect our business, the results of our operations, prospects and financial condition, through business disruptions and/or any losses in excess of our policy limits.

We do not presently maintain product liability insurance or business interruption insurance, and our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.
 
We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance or business interruption insurance. Unlike in the United States and many other countries, product liability claims and lawsuits in the PRC are rare. Product liability exposures and litigation, however, could become more commonplace in the PRC. Moreover, we could have more product liability exposure and liability as we expand our sales into international markets, like the United States, where product liability claims are more prevalent.
 
            We may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific co-packers, markets or batches.  We do not maintain recall insurance. In the event we do experience product liability claims or a product recall, or suffer from natural or other unexpected disaster, business or government litigation, or any uncovered risks of operation our financial condition and business operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may not have adequate or effective internal accounting controls.
 
The PRC has not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices. 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, we may experience difficulty in establishing accounting and financial controls, collecting financial data, budgeting, managing our funds and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.
 
Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. The requirement that management perform an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting first applied to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as effective are relatively new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards.
 
Our lack of familiarity with Western practices generally and Section 404 specifically may unduly divert management’s time and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Further, if material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting are identified or our external auditors are unable to attest that our management’s report is fairly stated or to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, this could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, have an adverse effect on our stock price and/or subject us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities.

During the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we determined that there existed deficiencies in controls relating to the following and that it was necessary for the Company to restate its previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010 for the following reasons.

1. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were overstated in such financial statements and earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were understated in such financial statements.

2. The value attributed to shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued for prior services on March 29, 2010 should have been expensed in the Company’s income statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

3. $7,700,000 of Preferred Stock included under Stockholders’ Equity on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 should be reclassified as Temporary Equity.

We have further concluded that such deficiencies represented material weaknesses. As a result, we concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at September 30, 2010.

The Company is in the process of enhancing its financial reporting by implementation of stronger internal controls through the recruitment of high caliber personnel with strong financial reporting backgrounds and the establishment of effective checking and reviewing procedures. In 2011 we plan to enrich the accounting knowledge of all of our financial and accounting personnel by holding training to increase the awareness and use of controls and transparency by all staff and by redesigning document flows and establishing strong control points.

Our senior management lacks experience managing a public company and complying with laws applicable to operating as a U.S. public company.

Prior to the completion of this offering, subsidiaries of Rongfu have operated as private companies located in China. None of Rongfu’s senior management has experience managing a public company.

As a result of the reverse merger on March 29, 2010, our company became subject to laws, regulations and obligations that did not currently apply to it, and our senior management currently has limited experience in complying with such laws, regulations and obligations. Our senior management is currently experienced in operating the business of Rongfu in compliance with Chinese law. Similarly, by virtue of the reverse merger, Rongfu is required to file quarterly and annual reports and to comply with U.S. securities and other laws, which did not apply to subsidiaries of Rongfu prior to the merger. These obligations can be burdensome and complicated, and failure to comply with such obligations could have a material adverse effect on Rongfu. In addition, we expect that the process of learning about such new obligations as a public company in the United States will require senior management to devote time and resources to such efforts that might otherwise be spent on the operation of the aquaculture business.

Further, because historically our operations have been in China, we have operated in accordance with China GAAP and have not previously been required to comply with U.S. GAAP.  Our current CFO has experience with U.S. GAAP and our Financial manager has limited experience with U.S. GAAP.  We are taking steps to increase our level of experience with U.S. accounting and SEC requirements, as well as to improve our internal accounting controls.  Our annual financial statements are audited by our independent registered public accounting firm for compliance with GAAP standards.  Yet, we cannot assure that our management has identified or fully remedied all material weaknesses in our internal controls of financial reporting pursuant to US GAAP.  If deficiencies go undetected or unremedied, our financial statements may not accurately reflect our financial condition as required by U.S. GAAP.

We may have violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act and may be subject to sanctions for such violations.
 
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act provides that it is unlawful for a company such as ours, which has a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, to directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of the company. Issuers violating Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act may be subject to civil sanctions, including injunctive remedies and monetary penalties, as well as criminal sanctions. The imposition of any of such sanctions on the Company may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On March 29, 2010 pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with the former stockholders of Rongfu Delaware we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Rongfu Delaware. At the time, Chen Zhisheng, who became our Chairman on such date, was indebted on account of a previous loan of an aggregate of RMB 21,900,000 (approximately $3,220,588) made by Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquatic Co., Ltd (“Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng”)., a PRC limited liability company with which one of Rongfu’s subsidiaries has certain Contractual Agreements described below.

The loan was repaid in full in on May 17, 2010. However, the existence of indebtedness of Mr. Chen to Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Ltd. at the time the Company acquired Rongfu and the continuation of such indebtedness for a period of time thereafter may have constituted a violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act (Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

Partially in response to the matters set forth above, in October 2010, our board of directors adopted a policy regarding approval of related party transactions.  Under the policy, any related party transaction involving an aggregate amount that is expected to exceed $50,000 must be approved by our board of directors or the audit committee of the Board once it is established, and no director may participate in any discussion or approval of a transaction that would be considered to be a related party transaction in which such person is interested.  See the section of this prospectus entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.”

Our revenue will decrease if the aquaculture industry experiences a downturn.

We are subject to the general changes in economic conditions affecting many segments of the economy.  Demand for fish is typically affected by a number of economic factors, including, but not limited to, fish supply, seasonal climates, government regulation and government guidance.
 
Competition in the aquaculture industry could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We operate in local and regional markets in China, and many factors affect the competitive environments we face in any particular market. These factors include the number of competitors in the market, the pricing policies and financial strength of those competitors, the total production capacity serving the market, the barriers to enter the market and the proximity of natural resources, as well as general economic conditions and demand for construction materials within the market. There is no assurance that existing or new competitors may not receive contracts for which we compete by reason of events and factors beyond our control.
 
Our growth strategy is capital intensive; without additional capital on favorable terms we may not accomplish our strategic plan.

Our expansion plans are premised upon our raising sufficient capital. There can be no assurance that we will do so. Our inability to raise sufficient capital or inability to raise capital on acceptable terms to fund these new production plants would negatively impact our projected revenues and our projected growth.
 
Long-term collection of accounts receivable and potential bad debts may impose a threat to our operations and expansion.

At certain times we may have a large amount of accounts receivable, which account for over 2% of our total assets. A substantial majority of our outstanding trade receivables are not secured by any collateral or credit insurance. While we have procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on our trade and non-trade receivables, there is no assurance that such procedures will effectively limit our risks of bad debts and avoid losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and business expansion.

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

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman and Kelvin Chan, our Chief Executive Officer and President.  They also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and support personnel for our operations.  If we lose a key employee, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer.  We also depend on Professor Sifa Li and his team from Shanghai Fisheries University to help us breed certain of our products. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team.  We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the production, technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future. We also depend on Professor Sifa Li and his team from Shanghai Fisheries University to help us breed certain of our products.

Approximately 62% of our sales revenues was derived from our ten largest customers in 2010 and any reduction in revenues from any of these customers would reduce our revenues and net income.

Based on unaudited information, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 we derived approximately 62% of our revenue from our ten largest customers. In fiscal year 2009, we derived approximately 76% of our revenue from our ten largest customers.  In fiscal year 2008, we derived approximately 75% from our ten largest customers.  We believe we are favorably diversifying our customer base to put less reliance on any one customer; however, the loss of one of major customers could materially decrease our revenues and net income.

We may be unable to continue to take advantage of the seasonal pricing fluctuation in sales of our products, and we may be adversely affected by the seasonal fluctuation in the prices we earn for our products.

We have experienced seasonal fluctuation in the prices we earn for our products, generally in the range of 15 to 20%. Pricing fluctuation occurs during the winter season when fish farms in the northern part of the PRC suspend production due to cold weather conditions. These weather related disruptions in supply permit us to increase the sales prices of our tilapia products. However, there can be no assurance that such premium pricing, benefiting our profitability, can be maintained in the future. Other factors, such as an increase in the cost of feed, might also adversely impact on the cost of fish and lessen our margins and profitability.
 
Our continuing rapid expansion could significantly strain our resources, management and operational infrastructure which could impair our ability to meet increased demand for our products and hurt our business results.

To accommodate our anticipated growth and to build additional facilities, we will need to expend capital resources and dedicate personnel to implement and upgrade our accounting, operational and internal management systems and enhance our record keeping and contract tracking system.  If we cannot successfully implement these measures efficiently and cost-effectively, we will be unable to satisfy the demand for our products, which will impair our revenue growth and hurt our overall financial performance.

Certain of our existing stockholders have substantial influence over our company, and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders.

Mr. Kelvin Chan is the owner of approximately 81.7% of our common stock. As more particularly described in footnote 3 to the table contained in “Security Ownership,” Mr. Chan has granted options to purchase an aggregate of 14,400,000 of his shares to certain persons, including 9,000,000 shares to Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman. As a result, Mr. Chan and Mr. Chen may have significant influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares.
  
Environmental claims or failure to comply with any present or future environmental regulations may require us to spend additional funds and may harm our results of operations.

Our business is subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that affect our operations, facilities and products in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe that we are in compliance with all material environmental, health and safety laws and regulations related to our products, operations and business activities. Although we have not suffered material environmental claims in the past, the failure to comply with any present or future regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us, suspension of production, cessation of our operations or even criminal sanctions.   The enacting of new regulations could also require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries.  While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments.  In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below.  If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.

Chinese regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.  Our subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their after tax profits according to Chinese accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds.  Currently, our subsidiaries in China are the only sources of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends.  If they do not accumulate sufficient profits under Chinese accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by Chinese accounting standards, we will be unable to pay any dividends.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

The Company faces the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business that the Company may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

The PRC economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, the Company believes that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While the Company believes that this trend will continue, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect the Company’s interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, there is no assurance that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social life.

The PRC laws and regulations governing the Company’s current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing the Company’s business, or the enforcement and performance of the Company’s arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. The Company and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, the Company is required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty.  

The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. The Company cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on the Company’s businesses.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect the Company’s customers, demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s business.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC and all of its revenue is generated from sales in the PRC. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, the Company cannot assure investors that such growth will continue. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC could materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation.  During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%.  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, reduce demand, materially increase our costs, and thereby harm the market for our products and our Company.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of an investment in the Company and may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

The Company receives all of its revenues in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.  Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi.

 
16

 
 
The fluctuation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect investments in the Company and the value of our securities.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. As the Company relies principally on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. For example, to the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars it receives from an offering of its securities into Renminbi for the Company’s operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert its Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Renminbi that the Company converts would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to the Company’s income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to penalties and limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.

On October 21, 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, referred to as  SAFE, issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Reverse Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005. According to Notice 75, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing such offshore company with assets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC, or an offshore special purpose company.  An amendment to registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident is also required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore special purpose company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, or any other material change involving a change in the capital of the offshore special purpose company. Moreover, Notice 75 applies retroactively. As a result, PRC residents who have established or acquired control of offshore special purpose companies that have made onshore investments in the PRC in the past are required to have completed the relevant registration procedures with the local SAFE branch by March 31, 2006. To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, the SAFE issued Circular 106 on May 29, 2007. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents in a timely manner.

Our current shareholders and/or beneficial owners may fall within the ambit of the SAFE notice and be required to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notice. If so required, and if such shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to timely register their SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice, or if future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents fail to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE notice, this may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company, or otherwise adversely affect our business.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could hurt our business.

Although we are currently not subject to these regulations, we anticipate to become subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Because the Company’s principal assets are located outside of the United States and the Company’s officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce their rights in the U.S. based on U.S. federal securities laws against the Company and the Company’s officers and directors or to enforce U.S. court judgments against the Company or them in the PRC.

Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc.  is located in the PRC and substantially all of its assets are located outside of the United States; it may therefore be difficult or impossible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against the Company or its officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise.

PRC regulations also involve complex procedures for acquisitions conducted by foreign investors that could make it more difficult for us to grow through acquisitions.

Pursuant to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, effective as of September 8, 2006 and revised as of June 22, 2009, additional procedures and requirements were established that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (“MOFCOM”) be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise, or that the approval from MOFCOM be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies and special anti-monopoly submissions for parties meeting certain reporting thresholds. We may grow our business in part by acquiring other companies engaged in aquaculture in the PRC. Complying with the requirements of the new regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including 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.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations governing the validity and legality of  call options to purchase of our Common Stock which are held by our Chairman and others and there can be no assurance that the call options held by such persons are not in breach of such laws and regulations.

Certain persons, including our Chairman, Chen Zhisheng, under certain call option agreements between Kelvin Chan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, have options to purchase an aggregate of 14,400,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Chan over the course of approximately three years in installments upon achievement of certain performance milestones by the Company. While we believe that this arrangement shall not be governed by PRC laws and regulations and therefore is not in breach of any PRC laws and regulations, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and legality of such call options. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to our view. If such certain call option agreements are deemed to be governed by PRC laws and regulations, our Chairman and other PRC residents under such call option agreements may be required to register with the local SAFE branch for their overseas direct investment in the Company. Failure to make such SAFE registration may subject our Chairman and such PRC residents to fines and legal sanctions, and may also limit their ability to receive dividends from our PRC subsidiaries and remit their proceeds from their overseas investment into the PRC as a result of foreign exchange control under PRC laws and regulations.


We are subject to governmental regulations that may affect the use and development of our properties.

On March 19, 2009, Ministry of Land and Resource of PRC issued “Certain Opinions on the Promotion of the Steady Development of Agriculture and Constant Increase of Income of the Peasants and the Propelling of Coordinated Development of Rural and Urban Areas” to strictly regulate the procedures for the use of agricultural land in rural areas. These opinions  provide that (a) for the use of agricultural land  for permanent auxiliary facilities (buildings constructed for the purpose of management and residence, such as office buildings, dormitories and canteens), the user thereof shall apply to planning administration, land and resource authorities and other relevant governmental authorities for the approval of conversion of agricultural use to construction use;  and (b) for the use of agricultural land  for simple auxiliary facilities constructed for the purpose of agricultural production (such as breeding pools and cultivation sheds),  the user thereof shall apply to the government at the city level for approval and such approval shall be reported and registered with the provincial land and resource authorities.

We have constructed relevant auxiliary buildings and houses on the collectively-owned land in Wanqinyang. Such buildings are used as the headquarters of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng However, we have not obtained the approval for conversion from agricultural use to construction use from competent authorities for the permanent buildings, such as the office building, dormitories and canteen we built. Neither have we applied for the approval and registration of the usage of agricultural land for simple auxiliary facilities for the purpose of production of our fish pond. Without the said approval and registrations, we cannot obtain our property ownership licenses from the housing administration. Failing to obtain such approvals and registrations, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services, which may have an adverse effect on our operations.

In addition, the change of existing land use rules and regulations that govern our development and use of our properties may restrict our ability to develop or use our properties in a desired manner and we may be subject to more severe penalties.

We rely on contractual arrangements with the two operating companies which  conduct our operations in the PRC, which may not be as effective in providing control over such companies as direct ownership.

We have no equity ownership interest in Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng or Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquit Germchit Co., Ltd. (“Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng”), and rely on contractual arrangements (“Contractual Agreements”) between our indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Guangzhou Flourishing Blessing Heng Seng Agriculture Technology Limited (the “WOFE”), with Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng (which owns 70% of the equity interests in Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng) and its sole shareholder, Chen Zhisheng (who is also our Chairman of the Board) to control and operate these companies.  We describe these Contractual Agreements in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Organizational History of the Companies and its Subsidiaries.”  Although we have received an opinion of Global Law Office, a lawfirm located in Beijing, PRC, that the Contractual Agreements are valid, lawful and enforceable under PRC laws and regulations and do not in any way contravene and violate any PRC laws and regulations, these Contractual Agreements may not be as effective in providing control over the operating companies as direct ownership would be. For example, the operating companies could fail to take actions required for our business despite the fact that the operations and management of the business of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng has been contractually entrusted to the WOFE. If Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng, or its sole shareholder, Chen Zhisheng, fails to perform their respective obligations under agreements with us, we may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such agreements and may have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which may not be effective. Our Contractual Agreements with Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Chen Zhisheng are governed by PRC law. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in the United States and uncertainties in the Chinese legal system could limit our ability to enforce these Contractual Agreements. In the event that we are unable to enforce the Contractual Agreements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our Chairman of the Board may have a conflict of interest with regard to the enforcement of our contractual arrangements with the two operating companies which conduct our operations in the PRC.

Chen Zhisheng is the Chairman of the Company and has been granted an option to purchase 9,000,000 shares of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately 42.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) for a nominal price subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”). Chen Zhisheng also owns 100% of the equity of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng which entered into the Contractual Agreements with the Company’s indirect subsidiary, the WOFE, referred to in the immediately preceding Risk Factor. As a result of his position as Chairman of the Board of the Company and his potential stock ownership of the Company, even though Chen Zhisheng is not the legal representative or an officer of the WOFE, by virtue of his power to cause the Company to remove existing management of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, he may be able to exert significant influence over actions taken by the WOFE with respect to the Contractual Agreements. These actions include deciding whether and when the WOFE shall exercise its option to acquire from Chen Zhisheng all of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s equity as discussed in the next Risk Factor as well as negotiating the terms of the purchase, if the option is exercised. In addition, Chen Zhisheng may exert significant influence in determining whether the WOFE will vigorously enforce the terms of the other Contractual Agreements, including the extent to which the WOFE shall manage the operations of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng and control the cash flow of such companies. In this regard, it is possible that despite being a director, officer and potentially significant stockholder of the Company, Chen Zsisheng’s interests may not be aligned with those of other stockholders of the Company since Chen Zsisheng also currently owns all of the equity of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng.

The option we have to acquire Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s equity from Chen Zhisheng provides that the purchase price will be determined by the parties in the future; such arrangement leaves open the possibility that the parties will not be able to agree upon a price and that we may not be able to acquire such equity.

As part of the Contractual Agreements, Chen Zhisheng, the WOFE and Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng have entered into an exclusive option agreement under which Chen Zhisheng has granted the WOFE an irrevocable and exclusive purchase option (the “Option”) to acquire Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s equity and Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng  has granted the WOFE an Option to purchase Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s assets and business, but only to the extent that the acquisition does not violate limitations imposed by PRC law on such transactions. The consideration for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties and memorialized in future, definitive agreements setting forth the kind and value of such consideration. To the extent that Chen Zhisheng receives any of such consideration, the Option requires him to transfer (and not retain) the same to the WOFE. However, if the parties cannot agree upon the consideration to be paid for purchasing Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s equity, we may not be able to complete the purchase of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and we would have to rely on the other Contractual Agreements to provide us the same rights and benefits as we would have if we purchased such company. For a discussion of certain risks we are subject to in relying on the Contractual Agreements to provide us benefits equivalent to ownership of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng see the two preceding risk factors and the next risk factor.

If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements that establish the structure for operating our business do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected.

The government of the PRC restricts share exchanges between PRC companies and offshore entities. Consequently, we acquired our business in the PRC through contractual arrangements with Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng. Although we believe we comply with current regulations of the PRC, we cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found to be in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations or other regulatory requirements and policies. If the PRC government determines that our structure or operating arrangements do not comply with applicable law, it could:

 
revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations;

 
restrict our right to collect revenues;

 
require us to restructure our operations;

 
impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply;

 
impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers; or

 
take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).  The OTCBB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ.  The quotation of our shares on the OTCBB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock, could cause high volatility and price fluctuations, and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

There is currently limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

There is currently limited trading market on the OTCBB for our common stock, and there is no assurance that one will develop or be sustained. 

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors and officers under the Nevada  law and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors and officers.

Under Nevada law, a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, a corporation may purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents for any liability incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person.

 
21

 

The effect of these provisions may be to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director, officer, employee or agent for breach of fiduciary duty. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable. 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.

As of January 14, 2011, there were issued and outstanding (i) 21,286,789 shares of our common stock, (ii) immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,437,879 shares of our common stock, (iii) 2,768,721 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which are immediately convertible into an aggregate of 2,768,721 shares of our common stock.  We currently have obligation to register the resale of an aggregate of 7,940,370 shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of warrants. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the trading market could adversely affect market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation could prevent or delay stockholders’ attempts to replace or remove current management or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock, with designations, rights and preferences as they may determine. Any shares of preferred stock that are issued are likely to have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights.  In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized under certain circumstances as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control, which could have the effect of discouraging bids to acquire us and thereby prevent shareholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.  We have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock in order to discourage or delay a change of control or for any other reason.  However, there can be no assurance that preferred stock will not be issued at some time in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which  are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words.
 
These forward-looking statements are only predictions.  These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to materially differ from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  We have described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus the principal risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.  Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as guarantees of future events.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus represent our views as of the date of this prospectus.  We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change.  However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or developments after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable law.  You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this prospectus.
 
This prospectus also contains estimates and other statistical data prepared by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. These estimates and data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates and data. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this prospectus, and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock. To the extent the warrants are exercised for cash, if at all, the Company will receive the exercise price for those warrants. Under the terms of the warrants, cashless exercise is permitted in certain circumstances. The Company intends to use any proceeds received from the exercise of warrants for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company cannot assure that any of the warrants will ever be exercised for cash or at all. If all of the warrants for which the resale of our common stock is covered by this prospectus are exercised for cash, the Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of $15,010,645.

Dividend Policy

There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

1.  
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.  
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Because we are a holding company, we rely entirely on dividend payments from our various direct and indirect subsidiaries, who may, from time to time, be subject to certain restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us. For example, although none of our direct or indirect subsidiaries is currently contractually restricted from paying dividends, one or more of such subsidiaries may in the future enter into contracts, including loan agreements or securities purchase agreements, which restrict their ability to pay dividends.  In addition, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC’s accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. (As of December 31, 2010 the reserve balance equalled 50% of the Company’s registered capital). The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund, the common welfare fund and the enterprise fund. Our inability to receive all of the revenues from our subsidiaries’ operations may in turn provide an additional obstacle to our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the future. Additionally, because the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC, shortages in the availability of foreign currency may occur, which could restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. If in the future we are able to pay dividends and determine it is in our best interest to do so, such dividends will be paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any future financing instruments and other factors the Board deems relevant.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company is engaged in commercial freshwater aquaculture in the PRC. It sells fish and fish fry and also acts as a freshwater fish dealer (generating trading profits from the purchase of fish from third party farmers and the immediate sale of such fish to wholesalers).

The Company operates 14 adult fish breeding farms, covering a total area of 24,085 mu. Three of the Company’s farms are located in Hainan Province, two in the town of Wenchang and one in Nanling. The other 9 farms are located in Guangdong Province in the towns or villages of Nanhai, Qinyuan, Taishan, Yangdong, Gaoyao and Zengcheng.  The other 2 farms are located in Shanxi Province and Hubei Province. 7 of the farms consist of a series of man-made ponds. Each pond is outfitted with one or more oxygen aeration machines which float on the surface and one or more feeding machines which provide food to the fish twice per day. The aeration machines provide oxygen to the fish and enable the natural removal of fish wastes so that the water does not become toxic for the fish.

 
24

 

7 of the Company’s farms are comprised of a single lake created by damming a river. Oxygen aeration equipment is not needed since the lakes have a much larger area than the ponds dug by the Company. The land on which the farms are located is leased by the Company from the village under leases for terms of 4 to 30 years.

In addition to its adult fish breeding farms, the Company operates a breeding farm in Wenchang, Hainan Province in which tilapia fry are produced from brood stock.

To facilitate the distribution of the adult fish, since May 2010, the Company has operated a logistics center in Shunde, Guangdong Province from where adult fish are transported to Hangzhou city and Tianjin city  besides the long term established sales network in Guangdong Province.

At its facilities in Nanhai (at which the Company’s fish clinic is also located) and Wenchang, the Company also has constructed and maintains concrete tanks where the Company incubates tilapia. The Company also incubates snakehead and crucian carp fry in its tank in Nanhai. After the incubation period the Company sells approximately 95% of the fry to distributors.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $12,816,275, an increase of $8,052,625 or 169%, when compared to the same period in 2009. Such increase was attributed to the increase in sales of the trading business of adult fish by $2.9 million, particularly snakehead which contributed an increasing proportion of revenues of the trading business (60%) for the current quarter, and the increase in farm growing of adult fish by $4.9 million attributable to the increase in farm growing of snakehead compared to the same period of 2009. The opening in May 2010 of our logistics center greatly facilitated the distribution of snakehead to Guangzhou Province and other regions in the PRC.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, sales of fish fry increased $270,063 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to sales of fry of our two new fish – yellow catfish and California perch.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $9,129,968, an increase of $5,994,211 or 191%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year, which consisted of an increase of $3,380,015 for breeding adult fish , an increase of $2,563,000 for the trading business, and a slight increase of $51,196 for breeding fish fry. The percentage increase in cost of goods sold is higher than that of the percentage increase in revenue mainly because the revenues of the farm growing segment, with relatively higher costs of sales increased proportionately more than revenues of the breeding segment.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,686,307, an increase of $2,058,414 or 126%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit is comprised of an increase of $1,501,897 for breeding adult fish, an increase of $337,650 for the Company’s trading business and an increase of $218,867 for breeding fish fry. The percentage increase in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 over the three months ended September 30, 2009 is lower than the percentage increase in revenues for the same periods due to higher costs of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of changes in the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,473,963, an increase of $1,010,787 or 218%, when compared to the same period in 2009, mainly attributable to the increase in selling expenses of $256,284 relating to the increase in sales and the increase in general and administrative expenses of $754,503 mainly due to an increase in professional fees associated with being a public company, expenses associated with the expansion of our business and the accrual for liquidated damages to certain investors who hold registration rights as a result of the failure to have a registration statement related to the resale of our common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants held by such investors declared effective by October 25, 2010.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $65,612, an increase of $44,317 or 208%, when compared with $21,295 in the same period in 2009.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,147,002, an increase of $1,003,310 or 88%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The main reason for the increase in income from operations was the increase in revenues, offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,970, a decrease of $10,700 or 73%, when compared to the same period in 2009, primarily because the Company used a part of its interest earning funds to pay dividends and income tax in the fourth quarter in 2009, which decreased the Company’s interest income as a consequence.  Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $837, a decrease of $86,149 due to the repayment of the Company’s short term bank loans, when compared to the same period in 2009.

 Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $301,832, an increase of $234,165, or 346%, when compared to the same period in 2009.  In 2010 less proportion of fry was sold and fry was tax exempt while farmed fish was subject to a 12.5% income tax. Trading revenue from grown fish was taxed at a rate of 25%. In 2010 more revenue was contributed by farming and trading and therefore the income taxes were higher than that of 2009.

The Company recorded a loss on fair value of derivative liability of $943,266 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $905,037 as compared to net income of $1,003,709 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the increase in revenue offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the non-cash item of loss on fair value of derivative liability of $943,266 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.  On March 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of its preferred stock and five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,127,268 shares of common stock. The warrants are required to be recorded as a derivative instrument liability, carried at fair value and marked-to-market at the end of each period, with changes in the fair value each period charged or credited to net income on the income statement.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $35,369,699, an increase of $13,637,772 or 63%, when compared to the same period in 2009. Such increase was mainly attributed to the increase in sales of adult fish purchased by farmers, which increased $5,191,782, and the sales of adult fish from farm growing, which increased $7,721,705 compared to the same period of 2009 following the opening in May, 2010 of our logistics center which facilitated the distribution of snakehead to Guangzhou Province and other regions in the PRC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, sales of fish fry increased $724,885 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to sales of fry of our two new fish – yellow catfish and California perch.

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $23,576,353, an increase of $10,252,589 or 77%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year, which consisted of an increase of $5,551,304 for breeding adult fish, an increase of $4,595,380 for trading business, and an increase of $105,905 for breeding fish fry The percentage increase in cost of goods sold is higher than that of the percentage increase in revenue mainly because the revenues of the farm growing segment, with relatively higher costs of sales, increased proportionately more than revenues of the breeding segment.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $11,793,346, an increase of $3,385,183 or 40%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit is comprised of an increase of $2,169,801 for breeding adult fish, an increase of $596,402 for the Company’s trading business, and an increase of $618,980 for breeding fish fry. The percentage increase in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 over the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is lower than the percentage increase in revenues for the same periods due to higher costs of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of changes in the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $3,255,188, an increase of $1,427,131 or 78%, when compared to the same period in 2009.  The increase was mainly attributed to the increase of selling expenses of $807,934 for the expansion of our business and the increase in general and administrative expenses by $619,196, mainly due to increases in professional fees associated with our being a public company, the expenses associated with the expansion of our business and the accrual for liquidated damages to certain investors who hold registration rights as a result of the failure to have a registration statement related to the resale of our common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants held by such investors declared effective by October 25, 2010.

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $8,433,903, an increase of $1,910,234 or 29%, when compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was attributable to the increase in gross profit of $3,385,183 due to the expansion in sales of adult fish, fish fry and trading business, offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses by $1,427,131. 

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $10,584, a decrease of $24,926 or 70%, when compared to the same period in 2009, primarily because the Company used a part of its interest earning funds to pay dividends and income tax of the fourth quarter in 2009, which decreased the Company’s interest income as a consequence.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $35,678, a decrease of $51,758 or 59% due to the repayment of the Company’s short term bank loans, when compared to the same period in 2009.

Trading revenue from grown fish was taxed at a rate of 25%. In 2010 more revenue was contributed by farming and trading and therefore the income taxes were higher than that of 2009.

The Company recorded a loss on fair value of derivative liability of $6,251,254 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,498,039 as compared to net income of $6,025,171 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the increase in revenue offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the non-cash item of loss on fair value of derivative liability of $6,251,254 in the first three quarters in fiscal year 2010 and the professional fee in connection with the services rendered in reverse merger for the issuance of shares in the first quarter in 2010.  On March 29, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of its preferred stock and five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,127,268 shares of common stock. The warrants are required to be recorded as a derivative instrument liability, carried at fair value and marked-to-market at the end of each period, with changes in the fair value each period charged or credited to net income on the income statement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total assets increased by $10,668,136, or 92%, from $11,629,668 at December 31, 2009 to $22,297,804 at September 30, 2010.  The majority of the increase was in cash, accounts receivable, advance payment and prepayment, and inventories, which was partially offset by a decrease in amount due from shareholders.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash increased by $3,501,039, or 110%, to $6,695,287 as compared to $3,194,248 at December 31, 2009. This is mainly attributed to the funding from investors of net proceeds amounting to $6,561,077 in second quarter this year, offset by the increase in inventories, payment of dividends to shareholders in 2009.

At September 30, 2010, the accounts receivable balance increased by $1,368,179, or 579%, from the balance at December 31, 2009. The increase is due to the increase in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, we have granted our customers a longer credit period as a strategy to increase our market share.

At September 30, 2010, the other receivables increased by $1,300,148, or 6,130%, from the balance at December 31, 2009. The increase is mainly due to the advance payment of $1,194,000 for fish nets.

At September 30, 2010, there were no amounts due from shareholders, as compared to due from shareholders of $4,008,659 at December 31, 2009. This is attributed to the repayment from shareholders during the first quarter of 2010.

At September 30, 2010 biological assets were $248,811, a decrease of $183,997, or 43%, compared to biological assets at December 31, 2009. The decrease in biological assets was due to the amortization for the nine months in 2010, offset by the procurement of certain breeding fish during the 2010.  Biological assets consist of tilapia, snakehead, crucian carp, yellow catfish and black bass. 

At September 30, 2010 accounts payable were $5,036,460, as compared to $0 at December 31, 2009. The increase in accounts payable was due to the procurement of fish food used in fish farm and fish fry breeding mainly from related parties.

At September 30, 2010 other payables were $552,475, a decrease of $2,743,960, or 80%, compared to other payables at December 31, 2009. The main item included in other payables is personal income tax payable, and the high personal income tax payable was due to the dividend payable in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was paid in the first quarter of 2010. On the other hand, at September 30, 2010, there is an accrual of $207,900 for the liquidated damages to warrant holders for the Registration Statement not declared effective by October 25, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, there was no advance from clients, as compared to the advance from clients of $498,785 at December 31, 2009. Because goods were distributed to clients in the first quarter of 2010, there was no advance from clients as of September 30, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, there was no bank loan, as compared to current portion of bank loan of $380,273 at December 31, 2009.  The loan was fully repaid prior to September 30, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, there was no dividend payable, as compared to a dividend payable of $3,466,331 at December 31, 2009 since the dividend was fully paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

At September 30, 2010 income tax payable was $301,419, a decrease of $693,894, or 70%, compared to income tax payable at December 31, 2009. This is mainly because the fourth quarter is the peak season of sales normally, and therefore the income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is lower than the income tax for the whole 2009 fiscal year.
 
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 as Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008

The following table presents the Company’s consolidated revenue for its lines of business for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:
   
Fiscal Year Ended December 31,

2008
   
Change
 
Farm growing
    32,449,057       23,577,694       37.6 %

Consolidated
  $ 43,842,407     $ 35,592,569       32.2 %

Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $43,842,407, an increase of $8,249,838 or 23.2%, when compared to the same period in 2008. Such increase was mainly attributed to the increase in sales of adult fish, which increased $8,871,362, due to our enhancement of breeding capacity, particularly for snakehead fish. The Company generated approximately $3,102,000 in revenue from the sale of snakehead fish in fiscal 2009 as compared to none in fiscal 2008.  In addition, in fiscal 2009 we were able to increase our sales through our existing distributor and add new distributors to our sales network. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the sales of fish fry decreased $1,550,095 compared to the same period of the prior year.  Sale of fry was high in 2008 because the cold winter in Southern China killed some grown fish and farmers needed to re-grow their fish and as a result more fry was purchased in the later months of 2008. In 2009, the sale of fry was back to normal levels. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the sales of trading business increased $928,571 compared to the prior year, because the Company expanded its markets and attracted several new clients.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, cost of goods sold for breeding fish fry was $736,205, a decrease of $8,521 or 1.1%, compared to the prior year. The rate of the decrease was lower than the rate of decrease in sales. Cost of goods sold for breeding fish fry consists of the amortization of biological assets, the food for fish fry and the food for parent fish. The amortization of biological assets and food for parent fish were at the same level as in 2008 and although fish fry sales were higher in 2008, the fish that were sold required relatively less food.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, selling expenses of breeding fish fry were $376,780, a decrease of $330,164 or 46.7%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year. The decrease is mainly attributable to a $161,024 decrease in commissions paid to distribution agents and a reduction in transportation costs and other selling expenses as a result of decreased sales.  General and administrative expenses of breeding fish fry in fiscal 2009 were $376,230, a decrease of $101,123 or 23%, when compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of breeding fish fry were the result of a $151,282 decrease in security costs which was partially offset by a $58,688 increase in salaries of employees. The decrease in security costs was due to the incurrence of expenses in fiscal 2008 for installation of security equipment which expenses did not recur in fiscal 2009.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, selling expenses of breeding adult fish were $331,068, an increase of $226,107 or 215%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year.  Transportation costs, workers’ salaries and advertising costs as a result of increased sales contributed to the  increase in selling expenses.

Due to the insignificant amount involved, no accrual was made in 2009.

General and administrative expenses of the trading business were $99,048, an increase of $29,089 or 41.6%, when compared to the same sales period of the prior year. The major reasons for this increase were the increase in welfare cost by $40,744, and the other costs incurred in travelling, gifts and other activities for staff of the Company.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, research and development expenses were $783,169, an increase of $18,889 or 2.5% when compared to fiscal 2008. The increase was principally the result of a $92,115 increase in amortization of biological assets which was partially offset by a $75,231 decrease in food costs for breeding fish.

Income from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $14,529,965, an increase of $1,699,089 or 13.2%, when compared to the same period in 2008.

In 2009, more revenue was contributed by farming and trading and therefore the provision for income taxes was higher than that of 2008. Income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $13,076,188, an increase of $1,216,693 or 10.2%, when compared to the same period in 2008 because of the increase in income from the adult fish business.

Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng has entered into two credit line agreements with Foshan Nanhai Allied Rural Credit Union Danzhao Credit Association with credit lines of RMB 7,000,000 (approximately $ 1,044,605 based on the conversion rate as of September 30, 2010) and RMB 5,000,000 (approximately $746,146 based on the conversion rate as of September 30, 2010), respectively. The two credit lines are secured by real estate owned by the sister-in-law of Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman of the Board.  The agreements were entered into on January 14, 2009 and January 13, 2009, respectively, for two-year terms expiring in January 2011. Outstanding loans under the two credit lines bear interest at a rate of 5.4% per year. Interest is payable monthly. As of September 30, 2010, there were no outstanding loans payable

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,914,734, a decrease of $4,596,282, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $1,823,822 increase in operating income after adjusting for non-cash items (mainly the change in derivative liability value of $6,251,254) and increased cash generated by the increase in accounts payable by $3,916,362 as a result of a reduction in cash payments of accounts payable and advances from shareholders of $10,088,755, offset by the reduction of cash by increasing accounts receivable by $5,669,977 and the increase in inventory by $5,192,919.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used by investing activities was $727,072, while net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $69,205, since the Company purchased more fixed assets and biological assets in the first three quarters of 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $705,217, compared with the net cash used by financing activities of $20,732,263 for the same period in the preceding year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were net proceeds from issuance of preferred stock of $6,561,077 offset by the payment of dividends of $4,305,517 and the repayment of bank loans of $2,284,611. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the repayment to directors was $8,520,267 and the dividend payment was $14,024,570, which amounts were partially offset by the Company’s drawdown on its bank credit lines of $1,812,574.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $21,127,418, an increase of $8,326,651, when compared to fiscal 2008. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $1,216,693 increase in operating income and increased cash generated by collections of accounts receivable (reducing the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2009 by $5,685,933 compared to December 31, 2008) and a $5,760,435 reduction in inventories as of December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008, since the Company sold most of its inventory in the fourth quarter 2009.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used by investing activities was $55,832, while net cash used by investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was $1,518,209, since the Company purchased less fixed assets and biological assets in 2009.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used by financing activities was $32,705,227, compared with $2,064,936 for the preceding year. The substantial increase in net cash used by financing activities is mainly attributable to the payment of dividends of $25,763,903 to shareholders, the repayment to directors of $8,520,541 and the net loan repayment of $1,549,508 in 2009. In fiscal 2008 the repayment to directors was $2,489,354, which amount was partially offset by the capital contribution of $424,418. There were no dividends and loan repayments in 2008.

The amounts repaid to directors in fiscal 2009 were for advances made by directors during the period from 2007 to 2009 in order to finance construction of our facilities in Hainan, our purchases of biological assets (breeding fish) and the payment of operational expenses, including maintenance expenses, purchases of fish food and purchases of fish fry. The Company has the obligation to repay the directors when the cash from operating activities was available.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc (formerly, Granto, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Flourishing HK, the WOFE,  Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng, and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng (collectively referred to herein as the” Company”). All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has adopted the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market, if lower.

Derivative Liability

The Company issued warrants in connection with the Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 2010 with certain reset exercise price provisions.  

Adoption of the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 815”), the Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by ASC 815.  The warrants, under ASC 815, were classified as derivative liability for the then relative fair market value of $3,267,797 and marked to market.  Under ASC 815, the warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Instrument Topic of the Codification requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
 
36

 
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Codification. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires 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 be realized.

 It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest earnings from activity with china. And thereby indefinitely postpone repatriation of these funds to the U.S. Accordingly, no domestic deferred income tax provision has been made for U.S. income tax which could result from paying dividends to the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, all are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

BUSINESS
Overview

Through our subsidiaries and the Contractual Agreements described above, we are engaged in commercial freshwater aquaculture in the PRC. Aquaculture is the cultivation or farming of fish under controlled conditions (as contrasted with the harvesting of fish in the wild). The Company cultivates its fish in fresh water (not marine (salt water) or brackish environments), sells fish and fish fry (juvenile fish) and also acts as a dealer of freshwater fish (generating trading profits from the purchase of fish from third party farmers and the immediate re-sale of such fish to wholesalers and processors).

During fiscal 2010 (all information for fiscal 2010 presented herein is unaudited), the Company sold more than 38,000 tons of adult fish to frozen fish processors and wholesalers in Guangdong Province and Hainan Province, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and the Company sold approximately 370 million fry to distributors, which in turn sold such fry to other farmers to cultivate.

Approximately 67% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal 2010 were from the sale of adult fish farmed by the Company, approximately 24% of the Company’s 2010 revenues were from the re-sale of fish purchased by the Company from farmers and approximately 9% of the Company’s 2010 revenues were generated from the sale of fish fry. Approximately 69% of the Company’s net income for fiscal 2010 was from the cultivation and sale of adult fish, approximately 26% of the Company’s 2010 net income were from the breeding, incubation and sale of fish fry and approximately 5% of the Company’s 2010 net income was profit from the Company’s trading of freshwater adult fish. The Company believes that currently it is one of the three largest sellers of tilapia fry  in the PRC.

The Company operates 14 adult fish breeding farms, covering a total area of 24,085 mu (a mu is a measure of land area used in China equivalent to approximately 1/6 of an acre). Three of the Company’s farms are located in Hainan Province, two in the town of Wenchang and one in Nanling. The other 9 farms are located in Guangdong Province in the towns or villages of Nanhai, Qinyuan, Taishan, Yangdong, Gaoyao and Zengcheng.. The other 2 farms are located in Shanxi Province and Hubei Province. 7 of the farms consist of a series of man-made ponds dug to a depth of approximately 2 meters with a surface area of 10-20 mu. A pond can be dug in two days and is filled with fresh filtered water from local sources. Each pond is outfitted with one or more oxygen aeration machines which float on the surface and one or more feeding machines which provide food to the fish twice per day. The aeration machines provide oxygen to the fish and enable the natural removal of fish wastes so that the water does not become toxic for the fish.

 
41

 

7 of the Company’s farms are comprised of a single lake created by damming a river. Oxygen aeration equipment is not needed since the lakes have a much larger area than the ponds dug by the Company. The land on which the farms are located is leased by the Company from the village under leases for terms of 4 to 30 years.

To facilitate the distribution of adult fish, since May 2010, the Company operates a logistic center in Shunde, Guangdong Province from where the adult fish are transported to the regions of Hangzhou city and Tianjin city besides the long term established sales network in Guangdong Province.

For additional information concerning the location and area of each of the Company’s fish farms and the terms under which the real estate for each farm is leased, see “Description of Property.”

In addition to its adult fish breeding farms, the Company operates a breeding farm in Wenchang, Hainan Province in which tilapia fry are produced from brood stock. (The warm climate in Hainan is more conducive to the breeding of tilapia fry than the climate in Guangdong Province.) The tilapia fry breeding farm in Wenchang covers an area of approximately 1,800 mu. The Company breeds snakehead and crucian carp fry at its facility in Nanhai.

At its facility in Nanhai (at which the Company also maintains a fish clinic), the Company also has constructed and maintains concrete tanks with a surface area of approximately 8,000 square meters containing approximately 40 compartments where the Company incubates tilapia, snakehead and crucian carp fry for approximately 10-25 days after such fry is initially produced or purchased by the Company. Most of the tilapia fry breeded by the Company in Wenchang is promptly flown by commercial air carrier to Guangzhou (which is approximately 300 miles from Nanhai) and thereafter transported by automobile to Nanhai. The Company also maintains an approximately 4,500 square meter incubation tank in Wenchang for tilapia fry that it will incubate and sell in Hainan Province.

           The incubation tanks in Nanhai and Wenchang are lined with concrete as compared to the Company’s adult fish breeding ponds and lakes, which are not. The concrete lining of the incubation tank enables the Company to maintain better water quality for the fry in the tank and also makes it easier for the small fry to be seen and caught when it is time to harvest them. After the incubation period the Company sells approximately 95% of the fry to distributors.

Approximately 41% of the Company’s revenues from the sale of Company grown adult fish in fiscal 2010 were from the sale of snakehead, approximately 20% was from the sale of bighead, approximately 18% was from the sale of tilapia, approximately 12% was from the sale of grass carp,  and the balance of the Company’s revenues from the sale of Company grown adult fish during fiscal 2010 were from sales of other varieties of freshwater fish, including catfish, bream, black carp and crucian carp.

Approximately 52%, 27%, 8%, 5% and 5% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal 2010 from sales of fish fry were from the sale of tilapia, snakehead yellow bone ,bass and crucian carp fry, respectively. The Company does not breed or incubate fry of the other adult fish that it cultivates. Rather, it purchases the fry for such fish from distributors.

In conjunction with Professor Sifa Li and his team from Shanghai Fisheries University, during the period from 2006 to 2009 the Company developed a strain of Nile tilapia called “New Jifu” which has received the approval and recommendation the PRC Ministry of Agriculture. New Jifu tilapia is fatty and fleshy, and compared to other strains of Nile tilapia is faster growing (taking 4 to 5 months rather than 6 months to grow to a saleable size), more disease resistant and more suitable to be raised in a warm climate such as that of Hainan Province. The Company currently sells approximately 17,000 tons of tilapia per year, approximately 60% of which is of the New Jifu variety and 40% of which is oreochromis tilapia. Oreochromis tilapia are more tolerant of lower temperatures, which enables the fish to be cultivated in northern climates. However, such tilapia are slower to grow to a saleable size, limiting production to at most three crops in two years.

The Company sells approximately 90% of its tilapia to the owners of 28 processing plants in Guangdong and Hainan Provinces. The processors generally require that the tilapia be of a standard weight of .75 kilograms. (Because of such weight requirement, the Company generally sells most of its tilapia in the fourth quarter since the growing season of approximately 6 months commences in March of each year.) The processors freeze the tilapia and sell the frozen product for distribution domestically in China and internationally. The balance of the Company’s tilapia, as well as all of the other fish the Company sells, is sold under the Company’s Hengshen brand name to fish brokers located in wholesale markets in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and Xinjiang Provinces  which brokers in turn market the fresh fish nationwide in China though other wholesalers or at retail. In 2010 the top ten customers (including processors and wholesalers) for the Company’s adult fish accounted for approximately 62% of the Company’s total sales of adult fish. Hanhai Global Aquaculture Market, Hainan Ahe Food, Zhu Zheng Jun from Hangzhou distributor market accounted for16%, 9% and 8%, respectively, of total purchases from the Company of adult fish in 2010.

The Company is developing technology to breed new strains of yellow catfish and California perch and anticipates making sales of the fry of such fish strains in 2010. In January 2010 the Company purchased for approximately $87,000 50,000 yellow catfish and 6,000 California perch to use as brood stock to breed new strains based on a method of population genetics using selective criteria to continually enhance the quality and quantity of fry produced from the breeding process in cooperation with experts from Shanghai Fisheries University led by Professor Sifa Li. The Company anticipates spending approximately $75,000 per year on the cultivation of brood stock, including breeding and disease prevention costs. Regarding yellow catfish, the Company is seeking to determine the best period for mating of mature parent fish and how to facilitate such mating. Regarding California perch, the Company will seek to determine the most suitable kind of nest for hatching the perch to facilitate egg laying and then the Company can relocate the nest for fertilization.

The Company has constructed a facility in Nanhai, to breed yellow catfish and California perch fry. The facility was completed in May 2010 at a total cost of approximately $500,000 and is now in use. This facility consists of a one-floor building with a floor area of approximately 6,000 square meters.

The Company also intends to use some of the proceeds from the March 29, 2010 sale of its Series A Stock and Warrants to increase both the production capacity of and productivity at its breeding farms, to develop new breeds of fry and to change its business model in certain respects.

The new business model is a type of co-op model in which the Company and the farmers closely cooperate in a manner to enhance production quantities and qualities. This model is popular in Chinese agriculture. Under the new model the Company will provide farmers with a full range of products and services, including fish fry, fish food, fish drugs, and expertise in the growing of healthy fish and the farmers manage their own ponds.  In harvesting season the Company will purchase the adult fish from the farmers at either a fixed market price set at the time that an agreement between the Company and the farmer is signed or at the prevailing floating market price when the adult fish is repurchased.  The farmers will bear the costs of the fish fry, fish food and fish drugs, but the Company will assist and educate the farmers on the best techniques at no cost to the farmers.

For example, instead of selling most of its snakehead fry to distributors which in turn sell the fry to local third party farmers, the Company intends to retain such third party farmers as subcontractors to grow adult snakehead from fry supplied directly to them by the Company. In such new business model the farmers will receive a fixed payment from the Company for their service and, the Company will supply at its own cost or reimburse the farmer for fish food and medicines. The Company anticipates that this business model will generate greater profits to the Company than would be the case if the Company merely sold snakehead fry to distributors because the model will substantially increase the ability of farmers to cultivate high quality fish and therefore substantially increase the Company’s capacity to produce adult fish. The Company may also use this cooperative farmer business model grow and sell other fish in addition to snakehead.

Farming Operations

The various steps in the process of producing adult fish for sale are described below:

Brood stock production

The Company currently owns approximately 400 to 600 male-female pairs of  tilapia brood stock (“grandparent fish”), of which 200-300 pair are of the  “New Jifu” strain and 200-300 pair are oreochromis tilapia. Grandparent fish are either purchased by the Company or developed from ancestors by the Company in conjunction with breeding experts such as personnel in academic institutions. The grandparent fish are held at the Company’s headquarters in Nanhai.  Grandparent fish generally produce offspring (“parent fish”) for a period of 5 to 8 years and each pair of grandparent fish generally will produce approximately 600 pair of parent fish per year.

Parent fish production

The parent tilapia are maintained at the Company’s facility in Wenchang, Hainan Province. The warm climate in Hainan Province is conducive to the production of tilapia fry. (The parent generation of the other fish that the Company cultivates are maintained at the Company’s facility in Nanhai.) The Company owns approximately 80,000 parent fish (one male fish for each three female fish) of the New Jifu strain. The New Jifu parent fish generally produce approximately 6,000-8,000 offspring (fry) per year for a period of three years. The Company has a capacity to produce approximately 500 million “New Jifu” fry per year. The Company has a capacity to produce approximately 300 million oreochromis tilapia fry per year.

Within 3 days after the tilapia fry is first produced, using commercial air carrier transportation, the Company transports the fry produced in Hainan to the Company’s facility in Nanhai, Guangdong Province where the tilapia fry are incubated for up to 20 days before being sold to distributors of moved by the Company to one of its adult breeding farms. The Company also purchases fry for the growing of the other fish (except tilapia) it grows. The Company also incubates snakehead and crucian carp fry at its Nanhai facility.

Adult fish production

Approximately 95% of the fry produced by the Company are sold to distributors and 5% of the fry are raised to adults by the Company. The Company cultivates the fry it does not sell at one of the 13 adult fish breeding farms the Company maintains. The fry are transported to such farms from the Nanhai incubation facility by Company trucks. The Company generally sells its tilapia when the tilapia has grown to a weight of 0.75 kg as that is the size desired by the Company’s frozen fish processor customers. For New Jifu , it takes 5 to 6 months to reach 0.75 kilograms (‘kg”) and for oreochromis tilapia it takes about 7 to 8 months to reach 0.75kg.  The Company generally raises its grass carp and snakehead to weights of .50kg or more (up to as much as 5 kg) before sale of such fish to wholesalers. The larger the weight the longer the fish takes to grow. The Company may therefore cultivate fish for a year or more before sale.

Approximately 80-85% of the variable costs of producing adult fish is the cost of fish food. The other variable costs include medicine and the cost of fry for those fish for which the Company does not breed its own fry. The other significant costs borne by the Company in its operations are of the rental of farmland, salaries of production personnel and utilities and transportation costs.

Fish clinic and educational services

At its Nanhai facility, the Company maintains a clinic supported by the Agriculture Bureau of Guangdong Province. Farmers may bring diseased fish to the clinic where Company personnel as well as experts from the Agriculture Bureau (who are periodically present at the clinic or available for consultation by telephone or internet) can diagnose problems and determine courses of treatment.

At such facility the Company also offers free classes to train farmers in the cultivation of fish. Classes are generally given for three days twice a month. The Company’s cost for providing such training is approximately $7,500 per year.

By offering such clinical services and free training, the Company has been able to build a database of approximately 100,000 farmers who are or may become interested in purchasing fry, who may become subcontractors for the Company in growing fry to adult fish or who may sell fish to the Company for immediate resale by the Company to tilapia processors or wholesalers.

Trading Operations

The Company acts as an intermediary in the sale of fish to tilapia processors and fish wholesalers. Such entities place orders with the Company which the Company fills by dealing with farmers in the Company’s data base. The processors and wholesalers rely on the Company, rather than dealing directly with farmers, due to the Company’s reputation for quality and the Company’s contacts with numerous sources of supply, which serve to reduce the administrative costs of the processor or wholesaler. The Company generally arranges for transactions, pays the farmer, assists the processor, wholesaler and farmer in delivery operations (the cost of transportation is generally borne by the processor of wholesaler) and receives payment from the processor or wholesaler at a mark up over the Company’s purchase cost (approximately 10% of the sales price).

Industry Background

Aquaculture is the science, art, or practice of cultivating and harvesting aquatic organisms, including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, aquatic plants, and algae such as seaweed. Operating in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments, aquaculture provides food for people and in smaller amounts supplies fish for stocking lakes, bait for fishing, and live specimens for home aquariums. According to a recent study by the World Food and Agriculture Organization (“FAO”) published on March 2, 2009, world fisheries production reached a new high of 143.6 million metric tons in 2006, including farmed and ocean caught product. The contribution of aquaculture to the world fisheries production in 2006 was 51.7 million tons of fish, which was 36 percent of world fisheries production in 2006, up from 3.6 percent in 1970. Global aquaculture accounted for 6 percent of the fish available for human consumption in 1970. In 2006 global aquaculture accounted for 47 percent of the fish available for human consumption according to the FAO. The FAO report also describes that over half of the global aquaculture in 2006 was freshwater finfish. Based on the FAO’s projections, it is estimated that in order to maintain the current level of per capita consumption, global aquaculture production will need to reach in excess of 80 million tons of fish by 2050.

Also according to the FAO, in 2006 China contributed approximately 67% of the total quantity and 49% of the total value of worldwide aquaculture production. In China, approximately 90% of fish production comes from aquaculture.

China has a long history of aquaculture. However, large-scale production only began after the founding of the PRC in 1949. More recently, after China opened up to the outside world in the 1980's, the sector has been growing dramatically, becoming one of the fastest growing sectors among the agriculture industries in China. In 2003 China registered a total amount of 30.28 million tons of farmed fish, accounting for 64.34% of national fishery production . China’s total aquaculture production is dominated by carp raised in inland ponds for local consumption. The four major carp species — silver carp, grass carp, common carp, and bighead carp — account for more than one third of world aquaculture production — nearly all of it in China.

China’s aquatic production for 2009 is forecast to have reached 49.5 metric tons (“MMT”), an increase of approximately  two percent from the estimated 48.6 MMT of production in 2008. China remains the world’s largest aquaculture producer. The rise in aquatic production is attributed to the country’s rapid economic growth, rising disposable incomes and greater consumption of aquatic products, together with strong growth of aquatic exports. While official statistics are not yet available, the 2008 aquatic production is estimated to have increased by approximately two percent over the 47.5 MMT of production in 2007. According to China’s Ministry of Agriculture (“MOA”), aquatic production for the first five months of 2008 reached 15.6 MMT, up more than four percent over the previous year to date figure. MOA expected a normal production growth for the remainder of 2008. Industry sources also showed that total aquatic production in the first eight months of 2008 reached 26.5 MMT, up three percent over the previous year. The production growth is mainly attributable to freshwater production at 12.5 MMT, up seven percent over the same period in 2007, while sea catch production stood at 6.9 MMT, down more than two percent. Another official media source reported that total aquatic production for 2008 is expected to have reached 48.9 MMT and the total freshwater aquatic production reached 17.4 MMT as of the end of October 2008. The devastating winter storms that hit south China from January through February of 2008 had some impact on aquaculture production. However, official data on damage is not available. Some industry sources reported losses of more than 4,000 MT of tilapia and 48 million tilapia fingerlings in Guangdong and Hainan provinces. MOA reported that the industry quickly recovered.

Inland aquaculture is very important part of China fishery industry. Freshwater aquaculture is carried out in fish ponds, lakes, reservoirs, canals, pens, cages, and paddy fields. Freshwater aquaculture production is dominated by finfish, particularly silver, grass and other carps. Pond culture is the most important source of inland aquaculture, with an estimated share of 73.9% in 1996. More than 4.5 million Chinese farmers are engaged in aquaculture, more than the rest of the world combined.

In 2005, according to the American Tilapia Association (“ATA”), tilapia production worldwide was second in volume to carp, and it is projected by the ATA that tilapia will become the most important aquaculture crop in the 21st century. Commercial production of tilapia has become popular in many countries around the world. Touted as the “new white fish” to replace the depleted ocean stocks of cod, pollock, and hake, world tilapia production continues to rise and at least 100 countries currently raise tilapia, with the PRC being the largest producer. The American Tilapia Association further reports that world production of tilapia products reached approximately 2.5 million metric tons in 2007, of which China produced the dominant share of 45.0 percent.

The species of tilapia most commonly grown as food fish in aquacultures are Nile tilapia, blue tilapia and Mozambique tilapia). Today, hybrids of these species – sometimes with genetic material from other species as well – are popular as well. Over 95 percent of the global tilapia supply is imported to the United States where tilapia is an appreciated food fish. The United States has its own domestic production as well, but it is much too small to satisfy consumer demands. The rising standard of living and fast-changing lifestyle in China have resulted in dramatically increasing domestic demand for processed frozen Tilapia products.

Tilapias are also among the easiest and most profitable fish to farm. This is due to their omnivorous diet, mode of reproduction (the fry do not pass through a planktonic phase), tolerance of high stocking density, and rapid growth.
 
The simplest system for raising fish is in ponds or irrigation ditches. Fry are put into a pond and fed until they reach market size. The fish are caught, either by draining the pond or by using large nets. Food can be from natural sources—commonly zooplankton feeding on pelagic algae, or benthic animals, such crustaceans and mollusks. Tilapia species feed directly on phytoplankton, making higher production possible.
 
There are a number of factors that determine the amount of fish that any given pond can produce. The first is the size of the pond, which determines the amount of water available for the fish, which in turn determines the amount of oxygen available for the fish. If there are too many fish in the pond, there will not be enough oxygen, and the fish will become stressed and begin to die. Another factor is the capacity of the pond to digest waste from the fish and the uneaten feed. The waste that is toxic to fish is mostly in the form of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.
 
 
46

 
 
The pond environment provides natural ways to eliminate waste. For example, in one waste processing cascade, the initiating bacteria convert available ammonia to available nitrites, which a second bacteria converts to the available nitrates that plants and algae consume as a growth nutrient. The viable density of fish in a pond is determined by the balance between the amount of waste generated and natural processes for waste elimination. If the fish release too much waste into the pond, the natural processes cannot keep up and the fish will become stressed.
 
Fish density can be increased if fresh water can be introduced to the pond to flush out wastes or if the pond can be aerated, either with compressed air or mechanically by using paddle wheels. Adding oxygen to the water not only increases the amount of oxygen in the water available for the fish, it also improves the processes involved in removing the wastes.

Advantages of pond culture include its simplicity, and relatively low labor requirements (apart from the harvesting of the fish). It also has low energy requirements. A major disadvantage is that the farm operation is more dependent on weather and other natural factors that are beyond the farmer’s control. Another disadvantage concerns the marketing of the fish. Generally, ponds are only harvested when most of the fish are at market size. This means the farmer has many fish to market at the same time, requiring a market that can absorb large quantities of fish at a time and still give a good price to the farmer. Usually this means there is a need for some kind of processing and large-scale marketing, with several fish farms in the same area to provide the processing plant with a constant supply of fish. If this kind of marketing infrastructure is not available, then it is difficult for the fish farmer.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Approximately 80-85% of the cost of sales of fish is for fish food. The balance is for fish medicine and the cost of fry for fish for which the Company does not breed its own fry. The Company purchases over 90% of its food for the feeding of adult fish from Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory, a company which is wholly owned by the sister of the Company’s Chairman, Zhisheng Chen. The Company also purchases over 60% of its food for the feeding of fry from Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory. In 2010 the Company spent approximately $25.1 million and $412,000 for the purchase of adult and fry food, respectively. The Company believes that there are adequate other sources of supply of fish food, other than Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

The Company has a staff of 13 employees who take orders and provide customer service to processors and wholesalers in assigned geographical areas. The Company sells fry to approximately 110 distributors, sells tilapia to 28 frozen tilapia processors and sells fish to approximately 50-60 fish brokers in wholesale markets. Sales of fish fry are mainly made in Guangdong, Hainan and Guangxi provinces, while  sales of adult fish are mainly made in Guangdong and Hainan provinces. Since May 2010 we have also sold fish to distributors in Zhejiang, Chongqin and  Shandong provinces and we intend to explore the possibility of expanding our sales to additional regions.

The Company promotes its Hengshen brand to farmers by advertisements in newspapers and magazines. The purpose of such promotion is to attract potential purchasers of fry, as well as potential subcontractors for the Company in growing snakehead and also potential sources for the Company’s fish trading operations. The Company also conducts free training sessions for farmers to build a database for the same purposes.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010 Rongfu had 188 full-time employees, including 40 management and supervisory personnel, 98 production workers, 21 sales and marketing personnel and 29 technological support, training and operations personnel.  Over 100 of the Company’s employees hold at least a junior college degree. The Company also had 65 part-time employees, of which 53 were interns from various colleges. Interns are not paid but Rongfu gives interns a subsidy in a nominal amount and provides food and housing for such interns without charge.

Seasonality

Approximately 50% of the Company’s sales of fry are made in the second quarter as fish produce most of the fry in March of each year. The Company’s sale of fry are lowest in the fourth quarter. The Company’ s sales of adult fish are greatest in the fourth quarter. The first quarter is the next busiest. Sales of grown fish follow the pattern of fry production in the spring and then a six month growing season to maturity and sale.

Competition

The aquaculture industry is intensely competitive and highly fragmented. Our direct competitors are small size farmers in the sale of adult fish and smaller scale breeding farms in the sale of fry. In the Guangdong area (South China), we have not identified any competitors with sizable operations or who produce or market similar categories of fish to the fish we breed, produce and market.

There are more than 2 million fish farmers in the PRC. Most farmers grow fish on a small scale. We believe that we have competitive advantages over most of our competition by virtue of our capital, technology and research and development. The Company competes against smaller scale breeding farms in the sale of fry.

The principal methods of competition in the aquaculture industry are in the quality of the fish which are sold and in the ability of sellers to control and reduce their costs.

We believe we have the following principal competitive strengths:
 
 
Quality Products. We produce fish products and have developed a farming system that avoids the use of potentially toxic chemicals, drugs, pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, pollutants and other substances. We believe that we fully comply with the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution. Our fish are raised in ponds of pure rain water collected for aquaculture. We use high quality fish food to comply with the safety rules and regulations in the PRC.
 
 
Vertically Integrated Operations. Vertical integration of our operations allows us to control and monitor quality, as well as reduce costs. Through our cooperative arrangements with local farmers, we train them to our production methods, while monitoring constantly the quality of production until harvest.
 
 
Environmental and Quality Assurances. We have adopted and implemented stringent quality control measures and procedures throughout the production process, in order to comply with the various environmental and quality standards. In order to supply to food processing companies, we have complied with the Food Safety Law of the PRC, which became effective on June 1, 2009. We use advanced technologies in our farming, feed formulation and processing operations. We have adopted modern and environmentally friendly and responsible technology in our growing process of fishes.
 
 
Strategic Location in Guangdong Province, PRC. Our processing facilities are geographically well-positioned in Guangdong Province to leverage favorable climatic conditions, abundant water supply, a pristine environment and a readily available source of labor for our processing plant. Furthermore, our logistics center is conveniently located near the farmers from whom we obtain our supply of fish and it is also in close proximity to our new cooperative fish farms.
 
 
48

 
 
 
Competitive Cost Structure. We benefit from competitive cost structures due to the lower labor costs in China and the streamline of the supply chain transactions to increase logistics efficiencies. We also believe that we are able to trim our operating costs by procurement of fry and fish food at relatively low cost and deployment of advanced methods for cultivation.
  
 
·
Experienced Management – The senior management has extensive experience in fish farming in Guangdong Province in China. Mr. Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman, has over 30 years experience in the field of aquaculture. He also serves as the Chairman of Foshan Nanhai Aquaculture Association and we believe that he has great influence in the development of the industry in Guangdong Province.

We do not believe that there currently exist any factors which adversely affect our competitive position.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include pond rental expense and medicine for fish the Company is attempting to genetically develop; and wages for employees and payments made to independent contractors such as Professor Sifa Li on development projects. Research and development expenses in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 aggregated $90,045 and $184,380, respectively.

The Company has its own technicians to research fish growing technologies, including methods to grow fish faster, and to maintain water quality and use appropriate fish foods. The Company maintains a big database for fish diseases and cures for the most commonly raised fishes.

In 2006, the Company focused on research of tilapia brood stock, with the cooperation of Sifa Li, During the period from 2006 to 2009, the Company’s R&D team developed a strain of Nile tilapia called “New Jifu”, which has received the approval and recommendation the PRC Ministry of Agriculture. In 2008 the Company began research into breeding snakehead fish.  In 2009 the Company began research into breeding yellow catfish and California perch.

We paid Professor Sifa Li approximately $15,000 in each of fiscal 2009 and 2010 in connection with projects led by him. A project team was jointly formed by our designated technical personnel and the specialists from the Shanghai Fisheries University led by Professor Li. In the process of conducting  project management for the tilapia breeding project, we have  not only bred a new strain of tilapia, but have also enhanced the skills and experience of our technical team regarding breeding new strains of fish.

Our research activities have been in applied fish nutrition, physiology and nutrients required or utilized by aquatic animals. Our major research efforts have been in the areas of stability, efficacy, and effects upon fish health with respect to resistance to bacterial and viral diseases. We also been active in research methods, technology transfer and cooperation with leading research institutes to develop improvements in methods of fish culture.

None of our research and development expenses are borne directly by any of our customers.

Intellectual Property

The Company does not own any patents.

In conjunction with Professor Sifa Li and his team from Shanghai Fisheries University, from 2006 the Company developed a new strain of  tilapia called “New Jifu” which has received the approval and recommendation the PRC Ministry of Agriculture. Based on the agreement between Professor Li and Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Heng Sheng, Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng may exclusively use the technology of “New Jifu” in Hainan Province and use the technology on a non-exclusive basis elsewhere.

 
49

 

Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng has a trademark “Ke Da Heng Sheng” registered with the PRC Trademark bureau. The term of the trademark is from October 28, 2004 to October 27, 2014.

Regulation

According to the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, effective on June 1, 2008, to engage in the aquaculture industry, a business owner shall be responsible for protecting the waters and the ecological environment. In complying with such law the Company takes into account the impact on the environment in regard to any new construction or renovation of buildings and sewage disposal facilities. In connection with aquaculture operations performed directly by the Company, we forward necessary documents to the relevant department for approval. In deciding the location of a site for our aquaculture operations, we consider geographical conditions for water pollution prevention. In building and reconstructing sites for its aquaculture operations, the Company builds waste water disposal facilities and water circulation and filtering facilities that are in compliance with applicable law and regulations.

As a food processing business, the Company must be in compliance with the Food Safety Law of the PRC, effective on June 1, 2009, which lists several enforceable mandatory standards as food safety standards. Based on the law, an aquaculture business should have suitable production and management facility to protect aquatic food from being harmfully affected. To comply with the Food Safety Law, the Company trains all of its employees for at least one week to familiarize them with the applicable laws and   regulations. Secondly, the Company’s personnel  regularly assesses the quality of the Company’s adult fish. In addition, the Company ha established internal rules and regulations to restrict the use of drugs which are harmful to human health, such as pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, pollutants and other substances. All on-site employees are subject to pre-employment and annual health checks and must obtain a valid health certificate before they can work on site. The Company has also established a system for daily production records to highlight healthy conditions and fatality rates of the Company’s fish. The reports are examined regularly by management. The Inspection and Quarantine Bureau will regularly inspect the Company’s products in accordance with applicable export rules and regulations.

According to Regulations of Quality and Safety of Aquaculture of the Ministry of Agriculture, effective on September 1, 2003, water used in aquaculture should be consistent with requested standards of Ministry of Agriculture. Aquaculture can not violate relevant national or local specifications of cultivation, which include equipment placement, sales of farmed aquatic products, as well as the use of feed materials and aquaculture drugs.

Additionally, the aquaculture industry is also subject to the control and management of the Fishery Law of the PRC, the Management Methods of Pollution-Free Agriculture Products, and the Aquatic Germchit Managing Regulations.

To comply with the above laws, the Company has hired more employees to examine the site environment, to test the health of adult fish, to record the cultivation process to check for abnormal conditions, and to operate waste water prevention and handling facilities. The Company believes that the hiring of such personnel and the construction and operation of waste water prevention and handling facilities will increase the Company’s total operating costs in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 by approximately $520,000 or 20% over the Company’s total operating costs for fiscal 2009.

The Company believes that it is compliance  with all  of the PRC laws and regulations regarding  control of water pollution and food safety, although it has not received an opinion of PRC counsel as to such matters.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS;
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Transactions with Related Persons

On October 31, 2009, Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng loaned an aggregate of RMB 21,900,000 (approximately $3,220,588) to Mr. Chen Zhisheng, the Company’s Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Chen invested the entire proceeds of the loan in the construction of Foshan Nanhai Guanyao Processing Industrial Park, which has a total area of 108,000 square meters with the construction area of 85,000 square meters. The loan proceeds constitute only a portion of the construction costs, which will total RMB 120,000,000 (approximately $17,647,058). Out of the total construction cost, about RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3,676,470) has not yet been funded. The loan made to Mr. Chen did not bear any interest and was paid off in full on May 17, 2010 by deducting the entire principal of the loan from Chen Zhisheng’s allocation of shareholders’ dividends that had been declared. After the construction has been completed, Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng has a first option to rent Foshan Nanhai Guanyao Processing Industrial Park on terms to be determined.
 
The loan described in the preceding paragraph may have violated Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, which provides that it is unlawful for a company such as ours, which has a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, to directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of the company. Issuers violating Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act may be subject to civil sanctions, including injunctive remedies and monetary penalties, as well as criminal sanctions. The imposition of any of such sanctions on the Company may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng has entered into two credit line agreements with Foshan Nanhai Allied Rural Credit Union Danzhao Credit Association  with credit lines of RMB 7,000,000 (approximately $1.044,605 based on the conversion rate as of September 30, 2010) and RMB 5,000,000 (approximately $746,146 based on the conversion rate as of September 30, 2010), respectively. The credit lines are secured by real estate owned by Zheng Yanchang, the sister-in-law of Chen Zhisheng, our Chairman of the Board, and are for two year terms expiring in January 2011. Outstanding loans under the credit lines bear interest at a rate of 5.4% per annum. Interest is payable monthly. As of September 30, 2010, no loans were outstanding under the credit lines.

Since January 1, 2007 Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng have been purchasing fish food under a verbal agreement from Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory, a company owned by Chen Meiru, the sister of the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chen Zhisheng. Under the arrangement Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng place orders approximately 1 week before delivery and pay for such purchases within 60 days. During the year ended December 31, 2010 purchases by Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng from Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory of adult fish food and fish fry food aggregated approximately $8,315,000 and $186,000, respectively. The Company’s purchases from Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory accounted for approximately 33% and 45%, respectively, of the Company’s total adult and fish fry food purchases during the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company believes that the amounts paid to Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory for the purchases of fish food are equal to or better than the amounts that would have been charged for the same sales by persons not affiliated with the Company. There are no written agreements between the Company and Ke Da Heng Sheng Fish Food Factory concerning the Company’s purchases of fish food.
 
Director Independence

We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Board Composition and Committees

The Company’s board of directors is currently composed of two members, Chen Zhisheng, and Kelvin Chan.

Neither of such persons has the attributes or has had the educational or professional experiences (including experience in preparing and/or auditing financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting) which would qualify him as an audit committee financial expert.

We currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees.  Currently, our entire board of directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.  We intend, however, to establish an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable.  

We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls.  The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors.  The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures.  The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefit policies (including stock options), including compensation of executive officers.  
 

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
 
On October 26, 2010, our board of directors approved a statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions which requires the Board of Director, or audit committee when an audit committee of the Board of Directors is established, to review the material facts of all interested transactions, as further described below, unless an exception applies, and either approve or disapprove of our entry into an interested transaction.  If the advance approval by the Board or audit committee of an interested transaction is not feasible, then such interested transaction shall be considered at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board or audit committee and, if the Board or audit committee determines it to be appropriate, then such interested transaction shall be ratified.
 
 
56

 

In determining whether to approve or ratify an interested transaction, the Board or audit committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, as described below.  Pursuant to the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, no director shall participate in any discussion or approval of an interested transaction for which he or she is a related party, except that such director shall provide all material information concerning the interested transaction to the Board or audit committee.  If an interested transaction is ongoing, the Board or audit committee may establish guidelines for our management to follow in our ongoing dealings with the related party.  Thereafter, the Board or audit committee, on at least an annual basis, shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that such related party is in compliance with the audit committee’s guidelines and that the interested transaction remains appropriate.
 
For purposes of the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions:
 
 
·
an “interested transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $50,000 in any calendar year, (2) we are a participant and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity; and
 
 
·
a “related party” is any (a) person who is or was, since the beginning of the last year for which we filed a Form 10-K and proxy statement, even if he or she does not presently serve in that role, an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our Common Stock or (c) immediate family member of any of the foregoing.  Immediate family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, and brothers and sisters-in-law and anyone residing in such person’s home other than a tenant or employee.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the following interested transactions shall be deemed to be pre-approved by the audit committee, even if the aggregate amount involved exceeds $50,000:
 
 
·
Employment of executive officers.  Any employment of an executive officer if either (i) the related compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements generally applicable to “named executive officers” or (ii) the executive officer is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director, the related compensation would be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements if the executive officer was a “named executive officer” and our compensation committee approved or recommended that the board of directors approve such compensation.
 
 
·
Director compensation.  Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements.
 
 
·
Certain transactions with other companies.  Any transaction with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer, director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed 2% of that company’s total annual revenue.
 
 
·
Certain charitable contributions.  Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $50,000, or 2% of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.
 
 
·
Transactions where all shareholders receive proportional benefits.  Any transaction where the related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our Common Stock and all holders of our Common Stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, such as dividends.

 
57

 

 
·
Transactions involving competitive bids.  Any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

 
·
Regulated transactions.  Any transaction with a related party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

 
·
Certain banking-related services.  Any transaction with a related party involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture or similar services.
 
On February 18, 2011 the Board of Directors approved an additional policy which states: “The Company shall not directly or indirectly through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit to, or arrange for the extension of credit, or renew an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.”
 
Code of Ethics

Our board of directors will adopt a new code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The new code will address, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code.

(1) As of February 18, 2011, we had outstanding 21,286,789 shares of Common Stock. Under applicable Commission rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities which he has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option or warrant or through the conversion of another security, and also is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security with regard to which he directly or indirectly has or shares (a) voting power (which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security), or (b) investment power (which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition, of the security), in each case irrespective of the person’s economic interest in the security. Each Selling Stockholder has the sole investment and voting power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such Selling Stockholder, except as otherwise indicated in the table.

(2) In determining the percent of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder on February 18, 2011, (a) the numerator is the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Selling Stockholder, including shares the beneficial ownership of which may be acquired within 60 days through the conversion of convertible securities and the exercise of warrants, if any, held by that Selling Stockholder, and (b) the denominator is the sum of (i) the 21,286,789 shares of Common Stock outstanding on February 18, 2011, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by such Selling Stockholder within 60 days upon the conversion of convertible securities and the exercise of warrants held by the Selling Stockholder.

Common Stock

Our Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our Common Stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders.  A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by  our board of directors from time to time, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.

In the event of any merger or consolidation with or into another company in connection with which shares of our Common Stock are converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash). Holders of our Common Stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to divide the authorized shares of our preferred stock into one or more series, each of which must be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and our Articles of Incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including, but not limited to, the following:

 
1.
The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

 
2.
The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative, and if so, from which date(s), and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;

 
3.
Whether that series will have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

 
4.
Whether that series will have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors determines;

 
5.
Whether or not the shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or date upon or after which they are redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;

 
6.
Whether that series will have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;

 
7.
The rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series;

 
65

 

 
8.
Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series.

Series A Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has designated 3 million shares of our preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The following is a summary of the rights and preferences:

Dividends:  The Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds that are legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum of the Original Series A Issue Price of $2.78 on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) payable semi-annually on each February 28 and August 31 on which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding.  Payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made at the Company’s election in cash or in shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights:  Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each whole share of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, on the date such vote is taken or any written consent of the stockholders is solicited.
 
Liquidation Preference. On liquidation the holders are entitled to receive an amount per share (out of available assets) equal to the Series A Issue Price plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment can be made to the holders of any junior securities.

Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into  Common Stock at the option of the holder. The initial conversion rate (which is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events) is one share of Common Stock for one share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Automatic Conversion.  Each outstanding share of Series A Preferred automatically shall be converted into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion ratio then in effect if:
 
 
·
a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall have been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, and such registration statement continues to be effective up through and including the date of the conversion;
 
·
the shares of Common Stock are eligible for trading on one of the following exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin Board;
 
·
the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion is greater than or equal to $5.56 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) on the primary trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted;
 
·
the average daily dollar volume of the Common Stock on the primary trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted is greater than or equal to $100,000 for ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion; and
 
·
after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own less than 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, unless such holder has waived such limitation.
 
 
66

 

Mandatory Redemption. On March 29, 2015 the Company shall redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the sum of $2.78 plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.

Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a "blank check" preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one (1) or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following: dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions; redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.

In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

Dividend Policy

We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Before the Contractual Agreements were entered into in December 2009, Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng paid dividends to its shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2008 Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng declared and paid to its shareholders an aggregate of $4,227,069 in dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2009 Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng declared and paid to its shareholders an aggregate of $25,704,486 in dividends. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends to its stockholders in 2010.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

On March 29, 2010 we issued five-year warrants to purchase our Common Stock at various exercise prices as set forth below:

Title of Warrant
 
Exercise Price
   
Total Number of Shares of
Common Stock Subject to
Issuance Upon Exercise
 
Series A
  $ 3.47       1,730,451  
Series B
  $ 4.17       1,730,451  
Series C
  $ 2.44       333,333  
Series D
  $ 2.93       333,333  
Placement Agent
  $ 1.95       33,333  
Placement Agent
  $ 2.78       276,978  

 
67

 

Cashless Exercise.  Subject to certain exceptions, the holders may make a cashless exercise if a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not in effect on March 29, 2011 or effective any time for a period of two years after the effective date of such registration statement (or until all of then shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of the Warrant may be sold under Rule 144).

Maximum Exercise; 9.9% Limitation. The holder is not permitted to exercise the warrant to the extent that on the date of exercise the exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. This provision may not be waived or amended.

Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants will be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution, combination of shares, reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares.

Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. If we merge or consolidate with or into any other person, or are a party to any other corporate reorganization, and we are not the continuing or surviving entity, then, in each case, the holder of the warrant (on exercise at any time after the consummation of such transaction) will be entitled to receive, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) which the holder would have been entitled to receive if the holder had exercised the warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction.

Sales of Common Stock at less than the Exercise Price; Weighted Average Adjustment. Subject to certain exceptions (including certain exempt issuances), if we sell or issue any Common Stock at a per share price, or warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with an exercise or conversion price per share, which is less than the current exercise price of the Warrant, the exercise price will be adjusted concurrently with such issue or sale, to according to a weighted average formula.

Options

Convertible Securities

Except for our Series A Preferred Stock, we have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply.  Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws do not state that these provisions do not apply.  The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to an investor of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Common Stock purchased by the investor pursuant to this offering. As used in this discussion, “we”, “our” and “us” refers to Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. This discussion assumes that an investor will hold each share of our Common Stock issued and purchased pursuant to this offering as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to an investor in light of that investor’s particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address (a) U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as estate or gift tax laws, (b) state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, or (c) the special tax rules that may apply to certain investors, including, without limitation, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, tax-exempt entities, governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, or investors that acquire, hold, or dispose of our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, wash sale, constructive sale or conversion transaction or other integrated transaction. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of entities treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or of persons who hold our common stock through such entities. The tax treatment of a partnership and each partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. Thus, partnerships, other pass-through entities and persons holding our common stock through such entities should consult their own tax advisors.

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, its legislative history, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial opinions, and published rulings and procedures of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), all as in effect on the date of this prospectus. These authorities are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained.

As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. person” means a person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a U.S. person, and the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock (other than an entity that is treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. person.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS, AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. holder will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any dividend paid on the shares of our Common Stock. A distribution on such shares will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain from the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under “Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.

Any dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends-received deduction if the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied. With certain exceptions, if the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010, after which the tax rate applicable to dividends is scheduled to return to the tax rate generally applicable to ordinary income.

If PRC taxes apply to any dividends paid to a U.S. holder on our common stock, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and such U.S. holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

In general, a U.S. holder must treat any gain or loss recognized upon a sale, taxable exchange, or other taxable disposition of our common stock as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. In general, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock so disposed of. Long-term capital gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15 percent for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010, after which the maximum long-term capital gains tax rate is scheduled to increase to 20 percent. The deduction of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our common stock by a U.S. holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and such U.S. holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC.

Non-U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

In general, any distribution we make to a non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless we are treated as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described below, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to shares of our common stock that is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividend, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under “Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.

 
71

 

There is a possibility that we may qualify as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. corporation is an 80/20 company if at least 80 percent of its gross income earned directly or from subsidiaries during an applicable testing period is “active foreign business income.” The 80 percent test is applied on a periodic basis. If we qualify as an 80/20 company, a percentage of any dividend paid by us generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the amount of any such dividend subject to withholding tax in this circumstance.

Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if certain income tax treaties apply, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30 percent (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock, unless:
 
 
·
the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder);

 
·
the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

 
·
we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock disposed of, and, generally, in the case where our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the common stock disposed of, at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock disposed of. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first and third bullet points above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30 percent rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate). Any U.S. source capital gain of a non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses during the taxable year of the disposition) generally will be subject to a flat 30 percent U.S. federal income tax (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

 
72

 

In connection with the third bullet point above, we generally will be classified as a USRPHC if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50 percent of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we currently are not a USRPHC, and we do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC (although no assurance can be given that we will not become a USRPHC in the future).

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We generally must report annually to the IRS and to each holder the amount of dividends and certain other distributions we pay to such holder on our common stock and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those distributions. In the case of a non-U.S. holder, copies of the information returns reporting those distributions and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Information reporting is also generally required with respect to proceeds from the sales and other dispositions of our common stock to or through the U.S. office (and in certain cases, the foreign office) of a broker.

In addition, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, currently at a rate of 28 percent, generally will apply to distributions made on our common stock to, and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by, a non-corporate U.S. holder who:
 
 
·
fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

 
·
is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or

 
·
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

A non-U.S. holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting (other than with respect to distributions, as described above) and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s or a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

MATERIAL PRC INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion summarizes the material PRC income tax considerations relating to the ownership of our Common Stock following the consummation of this offering.

Resident Enterprise Treatment

On March 16, 2007, the Fifth Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (“EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as “resident enterprises” and “non-resident enterprises.” Pursuant to the EIT Law and its implementing rules, enterprises established outside China whose “de facto management bodies” are located in China are considered “resident enterprises” and subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on global income. According to the implementing rules of the EIT Law, “de facto management body” refers to a managing body that in practice exercises overall management control over the production and business, personnel, accounting and assets of an enterprise.

 
73

 

The EIT Law and the interpretation of many of its provisions, including the definition of “resident enterprise,” are unclear. It is also uncertain how the PRC tax authorities would interpret and implement the EIT Law and its implementing rules. Our management is substantially based in the PRC and expected to be based in the PRC in the future, although two of our executive officers and one of our directors are not PRC nationals. It remains uncertain whether the PRC tax authorities would determine that we are a “resident enterprise” or a “non-resident enterprise.”

Given the short history of the EIT Law and lack of applicable legal precedent, it remains unclear how the PRC tax authorities will determine the PRC tax resident treatment of a non-PRC company such as us. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of tax consequences could follow. First, we could be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our global taxable income. Second, the EIT Law provides that dividend income between “qualified resident enterprises” is exempt from income tax. It is unclear whether the dividends we receive would constitute dividend income between “qualified resident enterprises” and would therefore qualify for tax exemption.

As of the date of this prospectus, there has not been a definitive determination as to the “resident enterprise” or “non-resident enterprise” status of us. However, since it is not anticipated that we would receive dividends or generate other income in the near future, we are not expected to have any income that would be subject to the 25% enterprise income tax on global income in the near future. We will consult with the PRC tax authorities and make any necessary tax payment if we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we are a resident enterprise under the EIT Law, and if we were to have income in the future.

Dividends From PRC Operating Companies

If we are not treated as resident enterprises under the EIT Law, then dividends that we receive may be subject to PRC withholding tax. The EIT Law and the implementing rules of the EIT Law provide that (A) an income tax rate of 25% will normally be applicable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) have establishments or premises of business inside the PRC, and (ii) the income in connection with their establishment or premises of business is sourced from the PRC or the income is earned outside the PRC but has actual connection with their establishments or places of business inside the PRC, and (B) an income tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends payable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or (ii) have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC.

As described above, the PRC tax authorities may determine the resident enterprise status of entities organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions, on a case-by-case basis. We are a holding company and substantially all of our income may be derived from dividends. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law and the dividends paid to us are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends received may be subject to the income tax described in the foregoing paragraph.

As of the date of this prospectus, there has not been a definitive determination as to the “resident enterprise” or “non-resident enterprise” status of us. As indicated above, however, we are not expected to be paid any dividends in the near future. We will consult with the PRC tax authorities and make any necessary tax withholding if, in the future, we were to be paid any dividends and we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we are a non-resident enterprise under the EIT Law.

 
74

 

Dividends that Non-PRC Resident Investors Receive From Us; Gain on the Sale or Transfer of Our Common Stock

If dividends payable to (or gains recognized by) our non-resident investors are treated as income derived from sources within the PRC, then the dividends that non-resident investors receive from us and any such gain on the sale or transfer of our common stock, may be subject to taxes under PRC tax laws.

Under the EIT Law and the implementing rules of the EIT Law, PRC income tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” or non-resident investors, which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or (ii) have an establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent that such dividends have their sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of common stock by such investors is also subject to 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC.

The dividends paid by us to non-resident investors with respect to our Common Stock, or gain non-resident investors may realize from sale or the transfer of our common stock, may be treated as PRC-sourced income and, as a result, may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 10%. In such event, we also may be required to withhold a 10% PRC tax on any dividends paid to non-resident investors. In addition, non-resident investors in our common stock may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10% on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common stock after the consummation of the offering if such non-resident investors and the gain satisfy the requirements under the EIT Law and its implementing rules. However, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, we would not have an obligation to withhold income tax in respect of the gains that non-resident investors (including U.S. investors) may realize from the sale or transfer of our common stock from and after the consummation of this offering.

If we were to pay any dividends in the future, we would again consult with the PRC tax authorities and if we (based on future clarifying guidance issued by the PRC), or the PRC tax authorities, determine that we must withhold PRC tax on any dividends payable by us under the EIT Law, we will make any necessary tax withholding on dividends payable to our non-resident investors. If non-resident investors as described under the EIT Law (including U.S. investors) realized any gain from the sale or transfer of our common stock and if such gain were considered as PRC-sourced income, such non-resident investors would be responsible for paying 10% PRC income tax on the gain from the sale or transfer of our common stock. As indicated above, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, we would not have an obligation to withhold PRC income tax in respect of the gains that non-resident investors (including U.S. investors) may realize from the sale or transfer of our common stock from and after the consummation of this offering.
 
Penalties for Failure to Pay Applicable PRC Income Tax

Non-resident investors in us may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10% on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common stock after the consummation of this offering if such non-resident investors and the gain satisfy the requirements under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, as described above.

 
75

 

According to the EIT Law and its implementing rules, the PRC Tax Administration Law (the “Tax Administration Law”) and its implementing rules, the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises (the “Administration Measures”) and other applicable PRC laws or regulations (collectively the “Tax Related Laws”), where any gain derived by non-resident investors from the sale or transfer of our common stock is subject to any income tax in the PRC, and such non-resident investors fail to file any tax return or pay tax in this regard pursuant to the Tax Related Laws, they may be subject to certain fines, penalties or punishments, including without limitation: (1) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return and present the relevant information in connection with tax payments, the competent tax authorities shall order it to do so within the prescribed time limit and may impose a fine up to RMB 2,000, and in egregious cases, may impose a fine ranging from RMB 2,000 to RMB 10,000; (2) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return or fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable, the non-resident investor shall be required to pay the unpaid tax amount payable, a surcharge on overdue tax payments (the daily surcharge is 0.05% of the overdue amount, beginning from the day the deferral begins), and a fine ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid amount of the tax payable; (3) if a non-resident investor fails to file a tax return or pay the tax within the prescribed time limit according to the order by the PRC tax authorities, the PRC tax authorities may collect and check information about the income items of the non-resident investor in the PRC and other payers (the “Other Payers”) who will pay amounts to such non-resident investor, and send a “Notice of Tax Issues” to the Other Payers to collect and recover the tax payable and impose overdue fines on such non-resident investor from the amounts otherwise payable to such non-resident investor by the Other Payers; (4) if a non-resident investor fails to pay the tax payable within the prescribed time limit as ordered by the PRC tax authorities, a fine may be imposed on the non-resident investor ranging from 50% to 500% of the unpaid tax payable; and the PRC tax authorities may, upon approval by the director of the tax bureau (or sub-bureau) of, or higher than, the county level, take the following compulsory measures: (i) notify in writing the non-resident investor’s bank or other financial institution to withhold from the account thereof for payment of the amount of tax payable, and (ii) detain, seal off, or sell by auction or on the market the non-resident investor’s commodities, goods or other property in a value equivalent to the amount of tax payable; or (5) if the non-resident investor fails to pay all or part of the amount of tax payable or surcharge for overdue tax payment, and can not provide a guarantee to the tax authorities, the tax authorities may notify the frontier authorities to prevent the non-resident investor or their legal representative from leaving the PRC.

If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

We have agreed to pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock including, without limitation, Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with our agreement to register the shares, or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION

Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc., formerly named Granto, Inc (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 29, 2008. On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. (“Rongfu”), certain stockholders and warrant holders of Rongfu (the “Rongfu Stockholders”) and a stockholder of Granto (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on March 29, 2010, 9 Rongfu Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of Rongfu held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,623,889 newly issued shares of our Common Stock held by them (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). In addition the shareholders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 666,666 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the former principal stockholder agreed to and did cancel 1,150,000 of the 1,200,000 shares of Granto, Inc. Common Stock held by her.

On March 29, 2010, the Company completed its merger with Rongfu in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement.  The Share Exchange Transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Rongfu (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. Subsequent to the Share Exchange Transaction, the financial statements of the combined entity will in substance be those of Rongfu. The assets, liabilities and historical operations prior to the share exchange transaction will be those of Rongfu. Subsequent to the date of the Share Exchange Transaction, Rongfu is deemed to be a continuation of the business of the Company. Therefore post-exchange financial statements will include the combined balance sheet of the Company and Rongfu, the historical operations of Rongfu and the operations of the Company and Rongfu from the closing date of the Share Exchange Transaction forward.

Rongfu was incorporated in Delaware on January 13, 2009. Flourishing Blessing (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Hong Kong Rongfu”) was incorporated on November 11, 2008. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2009, (the “December 2009 Agreement") all of the shareholders of Hong Kong Rongfu exchanged all of the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Rongfu for shares of common stock of Rongfu and Rongfu became the owner of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Hong Kong Rongfu. Hong Kong Rongfu owns 100% of the capital stock of Guangzhou Flourishing Blessing Hansen Agriculture Technology Limited (“Guangzhou Flourishing”). Guangzhou Flourishing is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or “WFOE,” under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) by virtue of its status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a non-PRC company, Hong Kong Rongfu.  In connection with the closing of the December 2009 Agreement, Guangzhou Flourishing  entered into and consummated a series of agreements (the "Contractual Agreements”),with Chen Zhisheng and Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquatic Co., Ltd. (“Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng”).  Under the Contractual Agreements, Guangzhou Flourishing agreed to assume control of the operations and management of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng in exchange for a management fee equal to Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s earnings before taxes. As a result, the business of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng  and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquit Germchit Co., Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng”) , 70% of the outstanding stock of which is owned by Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng,  will be conducted by Guangzhou Flourishing. We anticipate that Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng will continue to be the contracting parties under their customer contracts, bank loans and certain other assets until such time as those may be transferred to Guangzhou Flourishing. Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng was formed in the PRC on April 30, 2003 as a limited liability company (a company solely owned by a natural person). Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng was formed in the PRC on August 6, 2007 as a limited liability company. Guangzhou Flourishing was incorporated in the PRC on January 9, 2009 as a WFOE.

The Contractual Agreements completed in December 2009 provide that Guangzhou Flourishing has controlling interest in Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng under FASB Accounting Standards Codification “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of an Accounting Research Bulletin, which requires Guangzhou Flourishing to consolidate the financial statements of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Shen and ultimately consolidate with its parent company, Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc.

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION –(CONTINUED)

The Company, through its subsidiaries, and Contractual Agreements, is engaged in integrated business of aquaculture including Tilapia brood stock, Tilapia fry, Tilapia farming, and marketing for Tilapia. It is specializing in the production of the Hengsheng Brand Nile Tilapia and the new licensed New Jifu Tilapia.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine month periods September 30, 2010 and 2009. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and represent the pro forma historical results of the consolidated group. The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) on July 1, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, all reference for periods subsequent to January 1, 2010 is based on the Codification. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi, however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hong Kong Rongfu, Guangzhou Flourishing, Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng, and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng (collectively referred to herein as the” Company”). All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has adopted the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

Translation Adjustment

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (“USD”) in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification, with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification, as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with the Statement of Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, 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.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. There were no contingencies of this type as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. There were no contingencies of this type as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. There were no allowances for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, inventories consist of the following:

Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes previous accounting guidance, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2010, there were no impairments of its long-lived assets.

Derivative Liability

The Company issued warrants in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement and Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 2010 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

The Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by ASC 815.  The warrants, under ASC 815, were classified as derivative liability for the then relative fair market value of $3,267,797 and marked to market. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $6,251,254 to mark to market for the increase in fair value of the warrants through September 30, 2010.   Under ASC 815, the warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting period.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches.  In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 
·
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
·
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 
·
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the derivative liabilities amounted to $9,519,051 and $0. In accordance with the accounting standards, the Company determined that the carrying value of these derivatives approximated the fair value using the level 1 inputs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenues for goods shipped at the time of shipment.  For goods delivered by the Company to a customer’s site, revenues are recognized at time of delivery.

The Company believes that recognizing revenue at these times is appropriate because the Company’s sales policies meet the four criteria of the SEC’s staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, which are: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) service has occurred, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.

Research and development cost

Research and development costs are expensed in the period when they are incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, research and development costs were $104,255 and $56,437, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, research and development costs were $65,612 and $21,295, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising expense consists primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $34,537 and $41,106, respectively. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $18,849 and $32,470, respectively.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Shipping and handling fees

The Company follows ASC 605-45, “Handling Costs, Shipping Costs”.  The Company does not charge its customers for shipping and handling. The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $442,591 and $118,035, respectively. Shipping and handling fees for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $198,997 and $70,449, respectively.

Advances from Clients

The Company records deposits received by customers prior to the completion of the sale as deferred revenues and included as a component of advances from clients.  At such time as the revenue cycle is complete, these monies will be recognized into revenues.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires 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 be realized. It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest earnings from activity with PRC. And thereby indefinitely postpone repatriation of these funds to the US. Accordingly, no domestic deferred income tax provision has been made for US income tax which could result from paying dividend to the Company.

There were no deferred taxes at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, all are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Note 3 –OTHER RECEIVABLES

Other receivables mainly consist of prepayment of fish equipment amounting to $1,194,030. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the other receivables excluding the prepayment of fish equipment were $127,326 and $21,208, respectively.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the holders of Series A Stock also received 3,460,902 5 year warrants to purchase common shares. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.47 for 1,730,451 warrants and $4.17 for the remaining 1,730,451 warrants.

The Company measured and recognized an aggregate of $3,267,797 of the fair value of warrants to additional paid in capital upon issuance of these warrants. The terms of the warrants provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of these warrants if the company closes on the sale or issuance of common stock at a price which is less than the exercise price then in effect for these warrants.  The Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under SFAS No. 133 as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock. On March 29, 2010, the warrants were classified as a derivative liability for the then fair market value and marked to market.

Note 15 – STATUTORY RESERVE

In accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, a WFOE’s income, after the payment of the PRC income taxes, shall be allocated to the statutory surplus reserves and statutory public welfare fund. Prior to January 1, 2006 the proportion of allocation for reserve was 10 percent of the profit after tax to the surplus reserve fund and additional 5-10 percent to the public affair fund. The public welfare fund reserve was limited to 50 percent of the registered capital. Effective January 1, 2006, there is now only one fund requirement. The reserve should be 10 percent of income after tax, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital. Statutory Reserve funds are restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in register capital of the respective company. Statutory public welfare fund is restricted to the capital expenditures for the collective welfare of employees. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had allocated $1,076,310 and $1,051,089, to these non-distributable reserve funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rongfu Aquaculture Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION

Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc.(the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on February 29, 2008. The Company changed its name from Granto, Inc. to Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc on May 19, 2010. On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Rongfu Aquaculture, Inc. (Rongfu), certain stockholders and warrant holders of Rongfu (the “Rongfu Stockholders”) and a stockholder of Granto (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on March 29, 2010, 9 Rongfu Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of Rongfu held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,623,889 newly issued shares of our Common Stock. In addition the shareholders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 666,666 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the former principal stockholder agreed to and did cancel 1,150,000 of the 1,200,000 shares of Granto, Inc. Common Stock held by her.

On March 29, 2010, the Company completed its’ merger with Rongfu in accordance with the share Exchange Agreement.  The Share Exchange Transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Rongfu (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. Subsequent to the Share Exchange Transaction, the financial statements of the combined entity will in substance be those of Rongfu. The assets, liabilities and historical operations prior to the share exchange transaction will be those of Rongfu. Subsequent to the date of the Share Exchange Transaction, Rongfu is deemed to be a continuation of the business of the Company. Therefore post exchange financial statements will include the combined balance sheet of the Company and Rongfu, the historical operations of Rongfu and the operations of the Company and Rongfu from the closing date of the Share Exchange Transaction forward.

Rongfu was incorporated in Delaware on January 13, 2009. Flourishing Blessing (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Hong Kong Rongfu”) was incorporated on November 11, 2008. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2009, (the” December 2009 Agreement") all of the shareholders of Hong Kong Rongfu exchanged all of the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Rongfu for shares of common stock of Rongfu and Rongfu became the owner of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Hong Kong Rongfu. Hong Kong Rongfu owns 100% of the capital stock of Guangzhou Flourishing Blessing Hansen Agriculture Technology Limited (“Guangzhou Flourishing”). Guangzhou Flourishing is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or “WFOE,” under the laws of the PRC by virtue of its status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a non-PRC company, Hong Kong Rongfu.  In connection with the closing of the December 2009 Agreement, Guangzhou Flourishing  entered into and consummated a series of agreements, (the "Contractual Agreements ”),with Chen Zhisheng and Foshan Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquatic Co., Ltd. (“Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng”).  Under the Contractual Agreements, Guangzhou Flourishing agreed to assume control of the operations and management of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng in exchange for a management fee equal to Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng’s earnings before taxes. As a result, the business of Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng  and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng Aquit Germchit Co., Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng”) , 70% of the outstanding stock of which is owned by Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng,  will be conducted by Guangzhou Flourishing. We anticipate that Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng and Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng will continue to be the contracting parties under their customer contracts, bank loans and certain other assets until such time as those may be transferred to Guangzhou Flourishing. Nanhai Ke Da Heng Sheng was formed in the PRC on April 30, 2003 as a limited liability company (a company solely owned by a natural person). Hainan Ke Da Heng Sheng was formed in the PRC on August 6, 2007 as a limited liability company. Guangzhou Flourishing was incorporated in the PRC on January 9, 2009 as a wholly owned foreign enterprise.

These consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical pro-forma basis.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and represent the pro forma historical results of the consolidated group. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance (“Codification”) on July 1, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, all reference for periods subsequent to January 1, 2009 are based on the codification. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi, however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary and variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company has adopted the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.
.
Translation Adjustment

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”).  Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (“USD”) in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification, with the CNY as the functional currency.  According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification, as a component of shareholders’ equity.  Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
In accordance with the Statement of Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, 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.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC.  Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, by the general state of the PRC’s economy.  The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. There were no contingencies of this type on December 31, 2009.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
There were no contingencies of this type on December 31, 2009.

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Long-Lived Assets
 
Since April 30, 2003, the Company adopted the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes previous accounting guidance, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2009, there were no impairments of its long-lived assets.

The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes the accounting guidance, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires 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 be realized.
 
It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest earnings from activity with china. And thereby indefinitely postpone repatriation of these funds to the US. Accordingly, no domestic deferred income tax provision has been made fro US income tax which could result from paying dividend to the Company.
 
There were no deferred tax difference in 2009 and 2008

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, all are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for “Subsequent Events”, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management.  ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively.  Because ASC Topic 855 impacted the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact our results of operations or financial condition. 

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3 –OTHER RECEIVABLES
 
Other receivables mainly consist of cash advances to rent deposit. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the other receivables were $21,208 and $21,193, respectively.

 Note 4  BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from three to five years. Management evaluate the recoverability of biological assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that any changes exists. All of the Company’s biological assets are subject to amortization with estimated lives of:

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Nevada law allows us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf, and under certain circumstances to advance the expenses of such litigation upon securing their promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that indemnification will not be allowed to an individual in that litigation.

Our By-laws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:

 
1.
such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

 
2.
the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;

 
3.
such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers  vested us under Nevada law; or;

 
4.
such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

Our By-laws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.

 
82

 

Our By-laws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On March 29, 2010, we consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with Rongfu and 9 stockholders and warrantholders of Rongfu (the “Rongfu Stockholders”) (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Rongfu Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and 100% of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Rongfu held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,623,889 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 666,666 shares of our Common Stock. The shares of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase our Common Stock were issued in accordance with a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation S thereunder because they were issued to investors who were not U.S. Persons and the sale occurred outside of the U.S. or were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) by virtue of compliance with the provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act because all of the persons acquiring the securities were accredited investors and the securities were not offered or sold by means of general advertising or other general solicitation and a Form D pertaining to such transaction was filed with the Commission.

On March 29, 2010 we consummated the sale to 18 investors of an aggregate of (a) 2,768,721 shares of our Series A Stock, (b) five year Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,730,451 shares of our Common Stock for $3.47 per share and (c) five year Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,730,451 shares of our Common Stock for $4.17 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $7.7 million.

The shares of Series A Stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were either issued in accordance with a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation S thereunder because they were purchased by  investors who were not U.S. Persons and the sale occurred outside of the U.S. or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) by virtue of compliance with the provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act because all of the investors were accredited investors, the securities were not offered sold by means of general advertising or other general solicitation and a Form D pertaining to such offering was filed with the Commission.

In March 2008 we issued an aggregate of 2,150,000 shares of common stock to approximately 40 persons, none of whom was a U.S. Person in a transaction occurring outside of the U.S.. These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act at a price of $0.02 per share, for total proceeds of $31,000.

(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(5)           For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
