FUER INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Fuer International Inc. (referred to herein as “Fuer International”), its subsidiaries, and its variable interest entities (“VIE”) where Fuer International is deemed the primary beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided herein, Fuer International and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” The Company produces and distributes corn seeds, rice seeds, soybean seeds, humic fertilizer and plant additives.

Fuer International was incorporated in Nevada on February 8, 1984. On July 28, 2010, the Company changed its name from “Forex365, Inc.” to “Fuer International Inc.” On June 16, 2010, Fuer International entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with China Golden Holdings, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“China Golden”), and the shareholders of China Golden, who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of China Golden. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China Golden shareholders transferred to the Company all of the China Golden shares in exchange for the issuance of 11,550,392 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, China Golden became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the China Golden shareholders acquired approximately 96.47% of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock.

The Share Exchange constituted a reorganization of the entities for accounting purposes and was deemed to be a reverse acquisition. Subsequent to the Share Exchange the financial statements presented are those of a consolidated China Golden and its subsidiaries, including their VIE, as if the Share Exchange had been in effect retroactively for all periods presented.

China Golden was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on November 30, 2009 as a limited liability company. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Qiqihar Deli Enterprise Management Consultancy Co., Ltd. (“Deli”) was incorporated in Heilongjiang, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on February 10, 2010 as a limited liability company. Other than the equity interest in Deli, China Golden does not own any assets or conduct any operations.

Qiqihar Fuer Agronomy Inc. (“Qiqihar Fuer”) was incorporated in the Heilongjiang Province, in the PRC on March 18, 2003. Qiqihar Fuer is a provider of corn seeds, rice seeds, soybean seeds, humic fertilizer and plant additives that distributes products through its distributors to farmers located primarily in the PRC provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and other provinces of PRC. Qiqihar Fuer breeds its proprietary seeds through farmers under contractual agreements. Qiqihar Fuer also distributes humic fertilizer, plant additives as well as pesticides, germicides and herbicides. Deli, through a series of contractual arrangements, has the ability to substantially influence the daily operations and financial affairs of Qiqihar Fuer, in addition to being able to appoint Qiqihar Fuer’s senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder approval. The structure of the contractual arrangements are such that Qiqihar Fuer is effectively a VIE of Deli. Accordingly, Fuer International, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, consolidates Qiqihar Fuer’s results of operation, assets and liabilities in its financial statements. Hereafter, Fuer International, China Golden, Deli and Qiqihar Fuer are collectively referred to as “the Company” unless specific reference is made to an individual entity. Deli and Qiqihar Fuer are both controlled by the same majority shareholders.

Production and distribution of seeds, fertilizers and distribution of pesticides, germicides and herbicides

Chinese laws and regulations currently restrict foreign ownership in a seed producing company. The Company entered into contractual arrangements described below on March 25, 2010 in an effort to address these foreign ownership restrictions.

Based on these arrangements, the Company consolidates the VIE Qiqihar Fuer, as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”), because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The profits and losses of the Company are allocated based upon the exclusive business cooperation agreement.

The followings are brief descriptions of the contractual agreements entered into between Deli and Qiqihar Fuer:

 
1.
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement between Deli and Qiqihar Fuer, Deli has the exclusive right to provide to Qiqihar Fuer general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of Qiqihar Fuer’s products (the “Services”). Under this agreement, Deli owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. Qiqihar Fuer has agreed to pay consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Deli equal to all of Qiqihar Fuer’s profits as defined in the exclusive option agreement. The term of the agreement is 10 years. Termination or renewal of the agreement is determined by Deli and shall have binding force upon Qiqihar Fuer.

 
2.
Equity Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to the equity pledge agreement between Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders and Deli, Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in Qiqihar Fuer to Deli to guarantee Qiqihar Fuer’s performance of its obligations under the exclusive option agreement. If Qiqihar Fuer or Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations, Deli, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders also agreed that upon the occurrence of any event of default, Deli shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders to carry out the security provisions of the equity pledge agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Deli may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the equity pledge agreement. Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would undermine Deli’s interest.

 
3.
Exclusive Option Agreement.  Pursuant to the exclusive option agreement between Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders and Deli, Qiqihar Fuer’s shareholders irrevocably granted Deli or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Qiqihar Fuer for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital of Qiqihar Fuer or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Deli or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement is 10 years, and shall be renewed at Deli’s election, unless terminated in accordance with this agreement.

 
8

 

 
4.
Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the shareholders of Qiqihar Fuer borrowed RMB 10,000,000 from Deli, for the purpose of increasing the paid-in capital of Qiqihar Fuer. In addition, shareholders of Qiqihar Fuer agreed to (1) enter into the aforementioned contractual agreements with Deli; (2) appoint directors as nominated by Deli; and (3) maintain the value of its assets. Unless consented to by Deli, Qiqihar Fuer agreed not to: (1) purchase and dispose of any and assets; (2) enter into any material agreements with any third party within its operating activities; or (3) declare any dividends to its shareholders.

The accounts of Qiqihar Fuer are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation,” as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As a VIE, Qiqihar Fuer’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of Qiqihar Fuer’s net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company.
 
NOTE 2 – ADJUSTMENTS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s management, with concurrence from the Company’s Board of Directors, concluded that the financial statements contained in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 should be restated to properly record accrued shipping expenses and certain tax items.
 
The Company accounts for the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. When financial statements are restated to correct an error, an entity is required to disclose that its previously issued financial statements have been restated along with a description of the nature of the error, the effect of the correction on each financial statement line item and any per share amount affected for each prior period presented, and the cumulative effect on retained earnings or other appropriate component of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position, as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)
Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts in the PRC, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or "$"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the financial statements not misleading.

 
(b)
Unaudited financial statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2011, or that which was achieved in the year ended December 31, 2010.

 
(c)
Principles of consolidation

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Pursuant to US GAAP, Qiqihar Fuer is a VIE of Deli and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, Qiqihar Fuer has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Based on its contracted arrangements, the Company is able to exercise control over Qiqihar Fuer, and it has the exclusive right to obtain the full financial interests of Qiqihar Fuer, such as by obtaining periodic income through the exclusive business cooperation agreements and obtaining the net assets of Qiqihar Fuer through the purchase of its equity at essentially a no cost basis. There is no non-controlling interest held by other parties in Qiqihar Fuer, Deli and China Golden.

 
(d)
Business segment

The Company operates in one business segment, as a provider and distributor of field seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides. The Company’s revenue is generated from its sales directly to farmers, through company-owned retail establishments and through its branded retail stores. The Company’s revenue is derived exclusively from the sales of corn seeds, rice seeds, soybean seeds, fertilizers and herbicides. Substantially all of the Company’s sales and operations are conducted in the PRC with an emphasis in the northeast of China.

 
(e)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the reported financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the useful life of property and equipment.

 
(f) 
Foreign currency translation

The Company primarily operates in the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the subsidiaries are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “RMB”) as the functional currency.

Translation from RMB into USD for reporting purposes is performed by translating the results of operations denominated in the foreign currency at the weighted average rates of exchange during the reporting periods. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates are translated at the market rate of exchange in effect at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into USD are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD amount was published by People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, foreign currency translation adjustments of $201,012 and $308,445, respectively, have been reported as comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, foreign currency translation adjustments of $821,786 and a gain of $384,892, respectively, have been reported as comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

 
(g)
Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 regarding fair value measurement and disclosure, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

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

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

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

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivable, accounts payable, other payables, and income tax payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of September 30, 2011, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that were required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the new accounting guidance.

The Financial Instruments Topic of the ASC allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 
(h)
Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions in the PRC and balances are uninsured.
 
 
(i)
Concentrations of credit risk

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 environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. No customer accounted for over 10% of the Company’s total sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to material risk with respect to its cash in bank accounts.

(j)
Trade receivables, net

Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews its trade receivables on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after efforts at collection. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31 2010, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $383,534 and $371,139, respectively.

 
(k)
Other receivables, net

Other receivables consist of travel and business advances to employees. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $180,110 and $33,093 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in these advances were funds that permitted employees to launch promotional activities. The Company has not experienced any losses with other receivables during its operating history, and made no allowances for other receivables.

 
(l)
Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods acquired from third party vendors, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Raw materials are recognized at the purchase price, and consist primarily of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and packaging materials. Costs of finished goods are composed of raw materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Inclusive in manufacturing overhead is amortization expense of intangible assets acquired to secure certain varieties of seeds that are exclusive for the Company’s use and sale. Minimal process is applied to raw material seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides to convert them into finished goods, as raw materials are primarily in a customer usable state. Raw materials are packaged for the specification and needs of the Company’s customers, inclusive of its distributors and branded retail establishments. Inventories are accounted for under the weighted average basis during the reporting period. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if valuation allowance is required. The Company has not recorded an inventory reserve as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 
(m)
Advance to suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for purchasing of inventory items from suppliers. The advance payments are designed to provide the Company preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $6,951,051 and $1,408,477 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 
(n)
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Buildings
20 years
Operating equipment
5 -10 years
Office equipment
3 years
Vehicles
4 years

 
(o)
Prepaid leases

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.

The Company records lease payments at cost less accumulated amortization and amount that to be amortized within one year. The amount to be amortized within one year is recorded as current portion of prepaid leases. As China’s regulations prohibit companies from acquiring land use right of farmlands, the Company entered into long term agreements with certain unrelated parties to rent land. The rental payments for the entire contract period are prepaid at the inception of leases. The rental payments are recorded as operating lease expenses using the straight line method during the contract period, varying from 5 to 12 years.

(p)
Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 
(q)
Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law and associated legislations of the People’s Republic of China.  Income taxes are accounted for under the income tax Topic of the ASC, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.  Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the current year, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. A valuation allowance is required to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.

According to ASC 740, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.

 
(r)
Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, germicides and herbicides upon shipment to the distributors and transfer of title. All sales are FOB shipping point.

Historically, the Company has not offered sales returns to their customers or distributors subsequent to acceptance of goods by their customers or distributors. Based on previous prior year performance, the Company has not experienced significant dissatisfaction with any of its products. In certain instances, when customers or distributors reported negative results from the usage of the Company’s products, the Company has allowed credits to be issued to these customers or distributors on a limited basis. The Company's issuance of credits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was minimal. The Company has not accrued such potential customer credits as of September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 based on the Company’s previous positive experience with products sold.
  
 
(s)
Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold primarily consists of direct and indirect manufacturing costs, including production overhead costs.
 
 
(u)
Shipping expense

Shipping expenses are classified into sales and marketing expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (as restated), shipping expense totaled $795,523 and $612,968, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (as restated), shipping expense totaled $29,119 and $90,801, respectively.

 
(v)
Employee benefits

Substantially all of the Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC.  The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws, which is approximately 25% of salaries. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the costs of these payments were charged to general and administrative expenses in the same period as the related salary costs and amounted to $118,218 and $113,555, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the costs of these payments were charged to general and administrative expenses in the same period as the related salary costs and amounted to $367,961 and $319,246, respectively.

(w)
Advertising

Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling and marketing expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expense amounted to $3,632 and $138,117, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expense amounted to $382,439 and $250,378, respectively.

 
(x)
Accumulated other comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of shareholders’ equity, except those due to investments by shareholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included net income and unrealized gains from foreign currency translation adjustments. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 accumulated comprehensive income was $2,561,912 and $1,740,126, respectively.
 
 
(y)
Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the share-based payment topic of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, which requires recognition in the financing statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

For share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expenses are determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, stock-based compensation expenses were nil.
 
 
(z)
Biological assets
 
Biological assets are purchased seeds that management believes will produce plants that in turn will produce seed products, which when sold to the Company's customers will allow such customers to grow faster and better quality crops. The costs to purchase these seeds, to cultivate the seedlings and resulting plants, of fertilizer and other products used to grow the seedlings and resulting plants, of labor to cultivate the seedlings and resulting plants, and the amortized portion of prepaid rent allocated to the land used to cultivate these biological assets are capitalized as biological assets until they become commercially viable.

When these biological assets become plants that are bearing fruits and seeds, amortization of the costs of these biological assets commences. This amortization is capitalized into inventory as work in process - biological assets. If these biological assets ultimately result in the cultivation of plants that produce seeds, which are deemed appropriate for internal breeding purposes, the planting costs until fruiting for these biological assets are then re-allocated into biological assets.

If management determines that biological assets are not growing in accordance to desired results, at such time, management impairs the biological assets to the extent that desired results are not achieved. Amortized expenses pertaining to biological assets are included in inventory costs for those plants to be sold and ultimately become a component of cost of goods sold. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the biological assets were $431,336 and $0, respectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance regarding testing goodwill for impairment.  The guidance simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment.  The guidance provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test.  Entities have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test as well as resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.  The guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2011 and plans to early adopt the provisions of this guidance.  The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and does not expect that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance that provides an entity the option of presenting total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and does not expect that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued guidance on efforts to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance specifies how to measure fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, not requiring additional fair value measurements and not intending to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The guidance is effective to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity in the financial statements during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has not early adopted the guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In April 2011, FASB issued guidance on effective control and repurchase agreements. The guidance specifies the criterion pertaining to an exchange of collateral should not be a determining factor in assessing effective control, which should focus on a transferor’s contractual rights and obligations with respect to transferred financial assets if an entity enters into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The guidance removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The guidance is effective prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company has not early adopted the guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In December 2010, FASB issued guidance regarding when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. As a result, goodwill impairments may be reported sooner than under current practice. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 13 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On June 9, 2010, Fuer International approved a 1-for-64 reverse stock split prior to the Share Exchange. The reverse split did not result in any modification of the rights of shareholders, and had no effect on the shareholders' equity in the Company except for a transfer from stated capital to additional paid-in capital. The Company effected the reverse stock split in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Company conducted the Share Exchange with China Golden.
 
On June 17, 2010, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Allied Merit International Investment Inc. (the “Investor”) for the sale of an aggregate of 1,018,868 shares of common stock (the “Investor Shares”), and warrants to purchase 873,315 shares of common stock of the Company, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000 (the “Offering”). The warrants are exercisable at $2.58 per share, have a three year term and have a cashless exercise feature. In connection with the Offering, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor, in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 60 calendar days of the closing date of the Offering to register for resale the Investor Shares and the shares underlying the warrants,  and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 150 days of the closing date of the Offering. The Investor issued a written waiver of the registration right on November 15, 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the warrants did not have intrinsic value.

As the parties in the abovementioned transaction were not related, the total amount of the proceeds was deemed as the fair value of the shares of common stock and warrants issued. The shares of common stock issued were valued at total proceeds minus the fair value of the warrants. Management is responsible for determining the fair value of the warrant, as of the grant date. The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model to be $849,852. The valuation was based on the assumptions noted in the following table.

The warrants issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement have a price adjustment feature if the Company should issue additional shares of common stock at a lower price than the exercise price of such warrants at any time prior to the eighteen-month anniversary of the Purchase Agreement. If additional shares should be issued at a lower price, the Company might have account for these warrants in accordance with the Derivative and Hedging Topic of ASC 815. If the warrants are determined not to have a scope exception and not to be indexed to the Company’s common stock, these warrants may be reclassified from equity to a derivative liability at their future fair value at the time the Company should issue shares of common stock below the original per share exercise price of $2.58 for such warrants. If deemed to be derivative liabilities, the warrants would be carried at fair value and adjusted as of the end of each reporting period subsequent to reclassification to a derivative liability from that of an equity instrument.

NOTE 14 – STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to the statutory public welfare fund. The Company has elected not to make discretionary surplus reserves since its establishment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, appropriations to statutory reserves were both nil. The table below summarizes the statutory reserves:

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements included in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, strategies, intentions or other characterizations of future events or circumstances and are generally identified by the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “seeks,” “targets,” “would,” and similar expressions.  Because these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Other Information below and in the reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, from time to time. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof. Our business and the associated risks may have changed since the date this report was originally filed with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

As discussed in the explanatory note to this Form 10-Q, we have restated our previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to properly record accrued shipping expenses and certain tax items.

We have concluded that United States generally accepted accounting principles, or US GAAP, required us to reclassify our accrued shipping expenses.  This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, includes the corrections to our previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Generally, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, this financial statement restatement has resulted in:

 
An increase in our selling and marketing expenses and a corresponding decrease in our income from operations;
 
 
A decrease in our non-operating income; and
 
 
A decrease in our net income of $19,167 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and $482,644 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all amounts presented from prior periods and prior period comparisons that have been revised reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis.

Overview

We are a leading Chinese agricultural material company providing quality hybrid corn seeds, soybean seeds, rice seeds and fertilizer product to farmers in northeastern China, which is the most important agriculture region in the country. Through our vast network of over 1,000 distributors, we distribute our products to farmers located in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and northeastern Inner Mongolia and to the rest of China. Our seed products are bred with our exclusively contracted breeders in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and northeastern Inner Mongolia.  Following our purchase in 2005 of a humic fertilizer patent from China Institute of Agriculture, and we have developed a series of products that adapt to different environment and soil conditions.  In 2007, we invented cold proof additives for seeds, which we launched as a product in 2010.  With our focus on product quality, we believe we have successfully elevated our brand reputation and attained a solid customer base.  We have been certified under International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, 9001 for quality management systems and ISO 14001 for environmental management.

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

Our results of operations are primarily affected by the following factors:
 
 
·
Pressures on China’s food supply.  China’s food supply is impacted by decreased amounts of arable land in China as a result of urbanization, desertification, soil pollution, and other factors.  China’s population is expected to keep rising, reaching approximately 1.5 billion people by 2033.  With urban residents in China consuming more meat products than rural residents per capita, increased urbanization has driven meat production and, accordingly, feedstock such as corn.  We expect these factors to drive the use of fertilizer and high-yield hybrid grain seeds in order to maintain China’s food supply.

 
·
Acceptance of genetically modified seeds.  Although genetic modification techniques have been used in seed production for several years, some believe genetically modified plants may impact gene stability of surrounding natural plants and the health of creatures that eat them.  Currently, both the EU and the United States have not approved genetically modified crops for humans consumption.  Although two varieties of genetically modified corn seed have received limited approvals from PRC government authorities, commercial sales are not permitted.  Even if such sales are permitted, it may take several years for genetically modified grain to be accepted by customers.  For instance, many farmers in China use seeds from the output of their previous year rather than acquire modern seeds.

 
·
Chain store program distribution network.  We have launched a chain store program in order to control our distribution channel and enhance brand awareness.  As of December 31, 2010 we had over 43 branded retail stores, but as of September 30, 2011 we expanded to over 234 branded retail stores.  We believe branded stores enable us to provide better sales services and launch more accurate marketing campaigns.  We expect these efforts to result in increased expenses associated with expansion, particularly sales and marketing expenses necessary to build market share and awareness of our high quality products.

 
·
Ability to generate high-quality seeds.  We believe that our success depends on our ability to develop state of the art seeds that produce high yields of quality crops.  For example, during 2010 and the first month of 2011, our new corn varieties, Fudan Nos. V, VI, and VII, were approved and registered in Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia.  In field tests, our new corn varieties had higher yields than comparable products, which we believe presents an attractive value proposition for farmers.  We also believe that producing such seeds requires investment in research and development.  For example, in March 2010 we entered into two five-year agreements to lease 9.33 acres of farm land, where we have established a research field for hybrid field crops, vegetables and fruits.  In addition, in April 2010 we entered into agreements to lease 100 hectares of farm land for 20 years, and in December 2010 we entered into two agreements to lease 1,000 hectares of farm land for 12 years.  We plan to use this farm land to increase our cultivation experience with high-end seeds developed by advanced research approaches, such as genetic modification and the molecular marker aided selection method.

 
·
Seasonality. Our business is affected by seasonal factors.  Field crops are planted in early May in Heilongjiang, Jilin and the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia, and are harvested during October.  Our sales cycles tend to correlate to the agriculture cycle, as we tend to sell more seed products from December to April, and more fertilizers, herbicides, germicides and pesticides from April to June.  In recent years, we significantly increased seasonal advertisement and marketing events in the fourth quarters to attract customers.  In addition, we plan our seed breeding and fertilizer production during the second quarter, which requires capital expenditures that may drive short-term borrowing activities in order to acquire raw seeds.
 
 
29

 
 
 
·
Acquisition costs.  We believe that the significant fragmentation in China among seed companies and providers of fertilizers, pesticides, germicides and herbicides creates opportunities for us to expand our sales and product lines by acquiring quality companies in target regions.  Our acquisition plans would result in corresponding increases in expenses in order to attract and retain qualified talent, implement strategic advertising campaigns, and finance our expansion.

Three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010

Sales

Our sales consist primarily of revenues generated from sales of corn seeds, rice seeds, soybean seeds, fertilizers and agricultural chemical products. Sales increased by approximately $0.01 million, or 0.8%, from approximately $0.74 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of fertilizers and was partly offset by decrease in sales of herbicides pesticides and germicides

While the quantity amount of fertilizer and plant regulators we sold during the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased compared to the prior year period, the price at which we were able to sell our fertilizers substantially increased.  We believe this reflects the strength of our fertilizer products and marketing efforts, as well as general market conditions. The following table shows sales price per kilogram by product for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the percentage change in the sales price per kilogram.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of raw seeds and direct and indirect manufacturing costs, including production overhead cost for the products sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased approximately $0.05 million, or 12.0%, from approximately $0.43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales of our fertilizers, which was due to decrease of herbicides, pesticides and germicides, which have lower profit margins.

Operating and Administrative Expenses

Our total operating expenses consist primarily of selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by approximately $0.04 million, or 7.0%, from approximately $0.62 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.66 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Sales and Marketing.  Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of shipping expenses (freight out), advertising expenses, year-end bonuses for the selling team, and other overhead expenses incurred by our selling and marketing personnel. Selling and marketing expenses decreased approximately $0.07 million, or 26.5%, from approximately $0.25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in shipping and advertising expenses, and partly offset by an increase in travelling and other expenses. Selling and marketing expenses are likely to increase as we continue expanding our selling volume throughout China, and as we continue our advertising campaigns seeking to increase our market share and awareness of our products.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and professional service fees.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.11 million, or 29.8%, from approximately $0.36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.47 million for the three months ended June, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary of approximately $0.12 million. General and administrative expenses are likely to increase as we continue to expand our operations in China and hire additional employees.

Loss from Operations
 
Our loss from operations decreased by approximately $0.02 million, or 5.0%, from approximately $0.31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Other Income (Expenses)

Our other income (expenses) consists primarily of interest income, interest expenses and finance costs, and other income and expense accounts. Other income (expenses) decreased by approximately $0.01 million from approximately $0.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.02 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in interest expenses reflecting increases in short term loans.

Income Tax Benefit (Expenses)

We are subject to PRC enterprise income taxes. Our income tax benefit decreased by approximately $0.01 million, from a net tax benefit of approximately $0.02 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 (as restated) to a tax benefit of approximately $0.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Cumulative Currency Translation Adjustments

Our principal country of operations is the PRC and our functional currency is the Renminbi, and our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements into U.S. dollars are reported as cumulative currency translation adjustments. The period-to-period variations in foreign currency translation adjustments were primarily due to changes in exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010

Sales

Sales increased by approximately $9.77 million, or 49.7%, from approximately $19.68 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $29.46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to increase in sales of our field crop seeds, including corn seeds, soybean seeds, rice seeds, and vegetable seeds, reflecting our intensified marketing activities, the ongoing expansion of our market areas and distribution network throughout northeastern China, and increased demand for and market acceptance of our products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $7.00 million, or 60.9%, from approximately $11.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $18.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume, and increased prices of raw materials.

Operating and Administrative Expenses

Our total operating expenses increased by approximately $0.88 million, or 41.3%, from approximately $2.14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $3.02 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $0.52 million, or 50.0%, from approximately $1.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $1.57 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of approximately $0.22 million, or 40.9%, in shipping expenses, which was mainly due to growth of selling volume and increase in transportation cost as the price of gasoline increased; and (ii) an increase of approximately $0.26 million, or 224.0%, in advertisement expenses as we launched TV advertising campaigns in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces and increased spending for advertisements in Jilin Province. Selling and marketing expenses are likely to increase as we continue expanding our selling volume throughout China, and continue our advertising campaign seeking to increase our market share and awareness of our products.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.35 million, or 33.0% from approximately $1.09 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $1.44 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization for prepaid leases of approximately $0.21 million, an increase of $0.05 in traveling expenses, and an increase of $0.05 million in property taxes. General and administrative expenses are likely to increase as we continue to expand our operations in China and hire new employees.

Income from Operations

Our income from operations increased by approximately $1.89 million, or 31.2%, from approximately $6.04 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $7.93 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income (expenses) increased by approximately $0.04 million to approximately $0.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was primarily attributable to the increase in interest expenses, reflecting increases in short term loans.

Income Tax Expenses

We are subject to PRC enterprise income taxes. Our income tax expenses increased by approximately $0.73 million, or 142.6%, from approximately $0.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $1.24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our income before income tax and an enterprise income tax reduction of approximately $0.43 million during 2010.

Cumulative Currency Translation Adjustments

Our principal country of operations is the PRC and our functional currency is the Renminbi, and our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of our financial statements into U.S. dollars are reported as cumulative currency translation adjustments. The period-to-period variations in foreign currency translation adjustments were primarily due to changes in exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had retained earnings of approximately $17.17 million and $10.56 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.93 million, total current assets of approximately $21.22 million, and a working capital surplus of approximately $18.27 million. As of September 30, 2011, we had no short term debt and total liabilities of approximately $2.95 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the largest aggregate amount of short term bank loans we had outstanding was approximately $2.99 million. We have financed our activities to date principally from cash generated from our operations. We maintain a large balance of non-cash current assets because of our collection process with respect to trade receivables. We expect to collect a substantial portion of the trade receivables in the coming quarter, and believe the cash flow provided by operating activities in the same period will be sufficient to sustain our operations.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $4.16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was primarily attributable to:

 
i)
an increase of approximately $1.11 million in net income;
 
ii)
a decrease of approximately $1.41 million in changes in trade receivables, as we improved collection of accounts receivable during our slower season;
 
iii)
a decrease of approximately $0.50 million in inventory, as we decreased inventory level during the weak season;
 
iv)
an increase of approximately $7.73 million in changes in advances to suppliers due to our increased prepayments for seeds, which are harvested during October and November; and
 
v)
an increase of approximately $0.61 million in other payables.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to expenditures associated with our construction and acquisition of new facilities, and our purchase of a new product patents. Net cash used in investing activities increased approximately $0.58 million, from approximately $0.18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to approximately $0.76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily attributable to investment in equipment and purchases of seed patents.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased approximately $4.04 million, from an inflow of approximately $0.30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to an outflow of approximately $3.74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was primarily attributable to a $2.50 million equity financing in 2010, and an increase of approximately $1.53 million of repayment of bank loans.

Enterprise Tax Rate

In December 10, 2009, we were recognized as a High-and-New Technology Enterprise, or HNTE, by the PRC government. This entitled us to a favorable enterprise income tax rate of 15% for three years ending in 2011. We received a tax deduction on enterprise income tax payable for our income tax payables for 2009, which amounted to approximately $430,000, during the year ended December 31, 2010 related to the tax rate. We are applying to renew our HNTE status.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date our financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, our management 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.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Fuer International and our subsidiaries and variable interest entities.  All transactions and balances among the consolidated group have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts included in or affecting our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring us to make certain assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts we report for assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We routinely evaluate these estimates, utilizing historical experience, consulting with experts and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. Any effects on our business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

 
35

 

Estimates of allowances for receivables – We must periodically review our trade and other receivables to determine if all are collectible or whether an allowance is required for possible uncollectible balances.  A number of factors are considered when determining the allowances, including the length of time the receivable is past due, past loss history, the counter party’s current ability to pay and the general condition of the economy and industry.  We perform this review semi-annually, and events could occur that would require us to increase our allowance in the future. No bad debt expense was identified and recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Below is our aging schedule as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Estimate of the useful lives of property and equipment and biological assets – We must estimate the useful lives and residual values of our property and equipment. We must also review property and equipment and biological assets for possible impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recovered from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition.  We recognized no impairments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Estimate of the useful lives of intangible assets – Intangible assets, which are purchased seed variety rights, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, normally 10 years. We must review the marketability of the seed varieties for possible impairment whenever events and circumstances imply that the carrying value of such assets may not be recovered from the estimated future cash flow result from sales of such seeds products or possible disposition. We recognized no impairments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Inventory – We value inventories at the lower of cost or market value.  We determine the cost of inventories using the weighted average cost method and include any related production overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.  We must determine whether we have any excessive, slow moving, obsolete or impaired inventory.  We perform this review quarterly, which requires management to estimate the future demand of our products and market conditions. We make provisions on the value of inventories at period end equal to the difference between the cost and the estimated market value. If actual market conditions change, additional provisions may be required.  In addition, we may write off some provisions if we later sell some of the subject inventory. Our inventory balances vary greatly from quarter to quarter due to the seasonality of our business, since seeds are purchased during November to February and are generally sold from December to April. Seeds can generally be kept for two years before they expire or become less effective in germination.

Revenue recognition – Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are shipped to customers and the title has passed.  We render neither sales returns nor rebates to our customers, thus revenue reflects the actual sales to which we are entitled. Although we have not experienced significant dissatisfaction with any of our products, in certain instances when customers or distributors reported negative results from using our products, we have issued credits to these customers or distributors on a limited basis.  Our issuance of credits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was minimal. We have not accrued such potential customer credit as of September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 based on our previous positive experience with products sold.
 

 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued guidance regarding testing goodwill for impairment.  The guidance simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment.  The guidance provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test.  Entities have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step impairment test as well as resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.  The guidance is effective for us for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  We will perform our annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2011 and plan to early adopt the provisions of the guidance.  We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect that its adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance that provides an entity the option of presenting total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet adopted this guidance and do not expect that its adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued guidance on efforts to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance specifies how to measure fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, not requiring additional fair value measurements and not intending to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The guidance is effective to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity in the financial statements during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have not early adopted the new guidance and we are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In April 2011, FASB issued guidance on the effective control and repurchase agreements.” The guidance specifies the criterion pertaining to an exchange of collateral should not be a determining factor in assessing effective control, which should focus on a transferor’s contractual rights and obligations with respect to transferred financial assets if an entity enters into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The guidance removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The guidance is effective prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We have not early adopted the guidance and we are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In December 2010, FASB issued guidance regarding when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. As a result, goodwill impairments may be reported sooner than under current practice. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Statutory Reserves

In accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, after payments of PRC income taxes, a portion of the income of a Foreign Invested Enterprises must be allocated to statutory reserves. The public welfare fund reserve is limited to 50 percent of the registered capital. Statutory reserve funds are restricted for offset against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in registered capital of the company, which is made by the end of each calendar year. This reserve is not transferable to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $1,682,673, respectively, in these non-distributable reserve funds.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party and under which we have (i) any obligation under a guarantee, (ii) any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity, (iii) any obligation under derivative instruments that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets, or (iv) any obligation arising out of a variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the year ended December 31, 2010, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. Consequently, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2010, because we lacked sufficient qualified accounting and finance personnel with an appropriate level of US GAAP knowledge and experience and lacked an independent director with extensive knowledge of accounting and financial reporting.  We are still in the process of remediating this material weakness, and we also concluded that our financial statements contained in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 should be restated. These factors substantially influenced the conclusion of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011.

Remediation Plan
 
 After the identification of the material weakness as of December 31, 2010, we formulated and have begun instituting a remediation plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting.  Management has taken additional steps to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, including additional internal review and the performance of additional procedures by management with respect to our financial statements.  In addition, we have instituted training programs regarding US GAAP and financial reporting, initiated recruitment efforts to retain additional qualified accounting personnel, and engaged financial consultants to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements. The costs associated with our remediation plan cannot currently be quantified, but we do not expect such costs to be material.  We do not expect that our remediation plans will fully remediate the material weaknesses identified above until at least December 31, 2011, and it may not ensure the adequacy of our internal control over our financial reporting and processes in the future.  If we experience additional material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could lead to a decline in our stock price, limit our ability to access the capital markets in the future, and require us to incur additional costs to further improve our internal control systems and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls

As discussed above in connection with our remediation plans, we have begun instituting various measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting.  Except for these measures, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
