These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates - The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosure in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to warrants valuation, discount on convertible notes, debts issuance cost, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, work in process inventory valuation, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, taxes, contingencies and employee benefit plans. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available and any adjustment could be significant. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Research and development - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses amounted to $39,508 and $19,791 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Advertising and promotion costs - Costs incurred in direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the advertising campaign. As of December 31, 2011, there was no capitalized direct-response advertising. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs amounted to $3,267,577 and $2,137,896 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Advertising and promotion costs amounted to $8,400,216 and $7,435,867 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets – Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codifications  requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If impairment has occurred, an impairment loss must be recognized.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset.  Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

A long-lived asset is classified as held for sale in the period it meets all of these criteria:

Management with the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell.
The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary when selling such assets.
The company has initiated an active program to locate a buyer.
The sale is probable and the asset transfer is expected to qualify as a completed sale within one year (there are some circumstances beyond the entity’s control that may extend the time for completion beyond one year).
The company is actively marketing the asset at a reasonable price in relation to its current fair value.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

A long-lived asset held for sale is not depreciated or amortized but is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, which is the incremental direct costs that would not have incurred if not for the decision to sell.
 
Shipping and handling cost - Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in sales and marketing expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, shipping and handling costs were $85,700 and $107,898, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, shipping and handling costs were $268,125 and $367,447, respectively.

Slotting fees - The Company accounts for slotting fees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)605-50. ASC 605-50 requires that cash considerations, including sales incentives, given by a vendor to a customer is presumed to be a reduction of the selling price, and therefore, should be characterized as a reduction to gross sales. This presumption is overcome and the consideration would be characterized as an expense incurred if the vendor receives an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration and the fair value of that identifiable benefit can be reasonably estimated. Furthermore, if the consideration recorded is in excess of gross sale of any retailer, the amount in excess will be recorded as selling expense.

The Company treats one-time slotting fees paid to retails shops who are direct customers of the Company’s distributors and the fees pays to distributors upon signing of contract as a reduction in gross sales.

Slotting fees of $119,790 and $1,238,574 were recorded as a reduction of sales revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Slotting fees of $478,015 and $4,553,219 were recorded as a reduction of sales revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Capitalized Interest - Interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost during the construction period for qualified assets. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined based upon the Company’s weighted-average borrowing cost on debt for the average amount of qualifying costs incurred.  Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depreciation or impairment, along with other capitalized costs related to that asset.

Guarantee fee - The Company pays guarantee fee at the inception of certain loans to guarantee companies in order to obtain loans from banks.  Guarantee fee is initially recorded in prepaid expenses and amortized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the loan as guarantee fee expense which is reflected in interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that provide disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective April 1, 2011.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements for any business combinations in 2011.  The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In April 2010 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This Update provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency  of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted.  This standard was adopted effective April 1, 2011 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this Update modify Step 1 so that 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 a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires 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. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption of the amendments, any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of an adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings.  This standard is not currently applicable to the Company because the Company currently does not have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about the fair value measurements. The amendments include the following:

  
Those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.

  
Those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. Nonpublic entities may apply the amendments in this Update early, but no earlier than for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact, and do not expect the adoption of this amendment have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments, an entity has the option to present the 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. The presentation option under current GAAP to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity has been eliminated.
 
The amendments in this Update 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. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with amendments is already permitted. The Company already complies with this presentation.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment . The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis of determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this Update effective April 1, 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this Update will enhance disclosures that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect of potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments in the scope of this Update. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.

3. Going Concern

At any time after June 30, 2012, the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) have the right to request the Company to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in cash, amounted to $26,383,562, if certain qualified events have not occurred (Note 20).  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as the cash redemption requirement could pose a significant impact on the Company’s cash flow.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty as of December 31, 2011.

13. Income Tax

The enterprise income tax is reported on a separate entity basis.

United States -The Company was incorporated in Delaware and is subject to United States of America tax law. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company has a taxable loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. No tax benefit has been realized since a valuation allowance has offset the deferred tax asset resulted from the net operating loss.

BVI -Milkgoat Industrial was organized in the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands.

PRC -Milkgoat China, WeinanMilkgoat, FupingMilkgoat and Shaanxi Milkgoat are subject to PRC income tax. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $111,581 and $98,530, respectively. Income tax expense (benefits) for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $807,536 and ($20,831), respectively.

Effective January 1, 2008, the statutory PRC tax rate is 25%. Therefore, the statutory PRC rate for the period ended December 31, 2011 and year ended March 31, 2011 was 25%.

14. Issuance of Convertible Notes and Series of Warrants

On September 27, 2010, the Company issued and sold to certain investors 892 units at a purchase price of $10,000 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $8.92 million to the Company. Each unit consists of a three-year, 9% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000 (the “9% Convertible Note”) and a three-year Series F common stock purchase warrant (the “Series F Warrant”), to purchase 1,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

The 9% Convertible Notes are payable at an interest rate of 9% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on the last day of the first and third calendar quarters (i.e., March 31 and September 30) commencing March 31, 2011 and mature on September 26, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). Except for the secured Indebtedness (as defined in the 9% Convertible Note) of the Company and its subsidiaries in existence on September 27, 2010, the obligations of the Company under the 9% Convertible Notes will rank senior with respect to all existing indebtedness of the Company as of September 27, 2010 and to any and all Indebtedness incurred thereafter. The 9% Convertible Notes are also convertible into shares of common stock at any time prior to the Maturity Date at $2.00 per share, which conversion price is subject to weighted average and other customary anti-dilution protections. At any time after September 26, 2011, the Company may redeem all but not less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any 9% Convertible Notes by payment of 108% of the outstanding principal amount of the 9% Convertible Notes, together with accrued but unpaid interest.

The 9% Convertible Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The 9% Convertible Notes also contain customary events of default, upon which the holders of the 9% Convertible Notes may declare all outstanding 9% Convertible Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Series F Warrants issued in connection with the private placement in September 2010 entitle the investors to purchase an aggregate of 1,115,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise of $2.50 per share, which exercise price is subject to the customary weighted average and stock based anti-dilution protection. The Series F Warrants may be exercised in a cash or cashless way at any time upon the election of the holders until September 26, 2013.

On December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Amendment and Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Euro Pacific Capital, Inc., as investor representative (the “Investor Representative”), pursuant to which the Company and the Investor Representative agreed to reduce the initial exercise price per share of outstanding Series F warrants from $2.50 to $0.24.

Placement Agent Fee

The Company paid a cash commission of $713,600, which is equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the financing to the placement agent. In addition, the Company issued Series F Warrants to the designees of the placement agent to purchase an aggregate of 312,200 shares of common stock of the Company at an initial exercise price of $2.50 per share, as partial compensation for services provided by them in connection with the private placement. The exercise price of these warrants was subsequently reduced to $0.24 on December 31, 2011.

Make Good Escrow Agreement

On September 27, 2010, the Company, a major stockholder of the Company, Global Rock, Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. and Escrow, LLC entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”). Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, Global Rock agreed to place a total of 669,000 shares of common stock held by it, which is equal to 15% of the amount of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 9% Convertible Notes (the “Make Good Shares”), into escrow to secure certain make good obligations of the Company. In the event that the combined net sales of the Company of both of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2011 and 2012 is less than $125 million, Global Rock will transfer the Make Good Shares to the investors, on a pro rata basis to the extent of shortfall of the actual net sales achieved compare to the guaranteed net sales of $125 million for no additional consideration. As of December 31, 2011, it is probable that the guaranteed net sales of $125 million for fiscal years ending March 31, 2011 & 2012 may not be achieved. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2011 of the 339,750 shares expected to be delivered is $169,875 and make good provision payable on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of Make Good Escrow Agreement will be analyzed every period end using a probability weighted assessment method and adjusted if necessary.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the private placement of September 2010, the Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Company granted registration rights to holders of registrable securities, which include (i) the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 9% Convertible Notes, (ii) the Make Good Shares, as applicable, (iii) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Series F Warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent, and (iv) any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event, or any price adjustment as a result of such stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar events with respect to any of the securities referenced in (i) – (iii) above.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), within 30 days after the closing of the private placement, or the Closing, and cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission with 180 days after the Closing. The Company may be subject to liquidated damages in an amount up to 8% ($713,600) of the aggregate investment amount paid by the investors in the private placement if it is unable to file, obtain and maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement as required by the Registration Rights Agreement by March 27, 2011. The Company filed the Registration Statement on October 27, 2010 and it is effective on August 8, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has accrued a registration penalty of $267,600 and is reflected as registration penalties and make good provision payable on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2011.  Upon the execution of the Amendment entered into on December 31, 2011, pursuant to which the Company and the Investor Representative agreed to reduce the initial exercise price per share of outstanding Series F warrants from $2.50 to $0.24, the Company has no obligation or liability to pay the liquidated damages pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement due to the Company’s failure to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the Effective Date. As a result, there was no registration penalties payable as of December 31, 2011.

Closing Escrow Agreement

On September 27, 2010, the Company also entered into a closing escrow agreement with the placement agent and the escrow agent (the “Closing Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has placed a certain amount of cash received from the private placement ($408,090) (the “Holdback Amount”), with the escrow agent, which is sufficient to satisfy the payment to the investors of one semiannual interest payment due on the aggregate principal amount of all 9% Convertible Notes issued in the private placement, which includes accrued interest due on the principal amount of the 9% Convertible Notes from September 27, 2010 through March 31, 2011. If, an event of default (as defined in the 9% Convertible Notes) is declared by the placement agent with respect to a failure by the Company to make a semiannual interest payment to the investors in accordance with the 9% Convertible Notes, the escrow agent will disburse a certain portion of the Holdback Amount to the investors, and within 30 days following the disbursement, the Company will deposit an additional amount equal to the Holdback Amount with the escrow agent to be retained and disbursed. On the Maturity Date or at any time prior to the Maturity Date when 75% of all 9% Convertible Notes have been converted, all remaining funds of the Holdback Amount will be disbursed to the Company.

Accounting for Convertible Notes and Series F Common Stock Warrants

The 9% Convertible Notes and Series F Warrants (issued to both investors and the placement agent) contain ratchet provision, which will reduce the conversion and exercise price, based on a formula, if the Company sells or issues securities at a price lower than the conversion or exercise price. The embedded conversion option of the 9% Convertible Notes and the warrants do not meet the test of being indexed only to the Company’s common stock as defined in ASC 815-40-15 because the formula is not based on the market price. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option and warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities and are required to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in fair value in the statement of operations.
 
The 8% placement agent fee and other offering costs totaling $888,180 and the fair value of the Series F warrants issued to the placement agent of $231,929 are accounted for as deferred financing fees. The gross proceeds of $8,920,000 are allocated to the fair value of the Series F warrants issued to the investors of $828,319, fair value of the embedded conversion option of $3,487,233, and the carrying value of the convertible notes of $4,604,447. The fair value of the embedded conversion option is calculated using a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (“CRR”) binomial model with the following assumptions: conversion price of $2.00, risk free interest rate of 0.66%, expected term of 3 years, and a volatility of 130%. The initial fair value of the warrants is calculated using the CRR binomial model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $2.50 per share, risk free interest rate of 0.66%, expected term of 3 years, and a volatility of 130%. The expected volatility is based on average volatility of five comparable companies in the same industry and the Company’s historical volatility.

The value of the embedded conversion option and the warrants are re-measured at December 31, 2011 using the CRR binomial model with the same assumptions as stated above except for the reduced exercise price of $0.24 per share, risk free interest rate of 0.22% and volatility of 89%. The change in fair value of these derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 was a decrease of $201,948 and $1,483,689 respectively before the December 31, 2011 modification. Included  in the fair value of the derivatives as at December 31, 2011 is an increase of $392,480  attributable to the reduction in exercise price of the Series F warrants to settle the registration penalties as of the December 31, 2011 (Note 16). The decrease in fair value of these derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 totaled $979,923 and $843,037.

The initial carrying value of the convertible notes will be accreted to their redemption value of $8,920,000 over the three years term of the convertible notes at an effective interest rate of 34.77%. Effective interest expense recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 is $500,531 and $1,435,075, respectively. Effective interest expense recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 is $413,161 and $426,503, respectively.

16. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 820, or ASC 820, for fair value measurements 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 following table sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011:

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, valuation techniques are sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock and its estimated volatility. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income may include significant charges or credits as these estimates and assumptions change.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer advances, and amounts due to/from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term loans approximates fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rate.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plan. Total compensation expense related to the stock options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 was $48,714 and $127,643. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, $54,735 and ($6,021) were recorded as general and administrative expense and selling expense respectively.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, $131,380 and ($3,737) were recorded as general and administrative expense and selling expense respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was $423,886 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan that is expected to be recognized through May 31, 2014.

Total compensation expense related to the stock options for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010 was $437,376 and $1,133,854 respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, $412,200 and $25,176 were recorded as general and administrative expense and cost of goods sold respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, $1,071,800 and $62,054 were recorded as general and administrative expense and cost of goods sold, respectively.

Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on average volatility of three comparable companies in the same industry. The risk free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Since the Company has limited option exercise history, it has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC-approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99

The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holder at any time, at an initial conversion price at $0.98 per share, which conversion price is subject to stock split, recapitalization and other anti-dilution protection, as well as adjustments based on the Company’s financial performance.

On June 16, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or the Certificate, which became effective upon filing. Pursuant to the Certificate, there are 1,530,612 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock authorized.

Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, is subject to stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar events as provided for in the Certificate.

Redemption

At any time and from time to time after June 30, 2012, the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to request the Company to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in cash, if the following qualified events has not occurred: (i) the Company’s shares of common stock or American Depository Shares representing shares of the common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, and (ii) the closing market price of such listing securities represents a price of no less than $4.25 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment, in any consecutive 30-trading-day period.

20. Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock- Continued

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the initial amount of such redeemable preferred stock should be its fair value at date of issue. If such convertible preferred stock is not currently redeemable and it is not probable that such convertible preferred stock will become redeemable, subsequent adjustment to its redemption amount is not necessary until it is probable that such convertible preferred stock will become redeemable. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable currently. Management assesses the probability of the above two qualified events not occurring on a quarterly basis. The Company is currently working on complying with the NASDAQ listing requirements however based on management’s future projection of earnings per share and considering P/E ratio of similar companies in the dairy industry, management believes it is not probable that the Company will be able to maintain a closing market price of no less than $4.25 per share of common stock for 30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, the Company accreted the change in the redemption value using the effective interest method starting from January 2011. The fair value of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of $15,000,000 is accreted to equal the redemption value of $26,383,562 over the 18 months period from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 at an effective interest rate of 45.7%. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the accretion to redemption value of redeemable preferred stock is charged against retained earnings. Accretion to redemption value totaled $1,963,220 and $5,376,479 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity because the occurrence of the qualified events are not solely within the control of the Company. The issuance costs of $735,129 are netted against the Private Placement of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

21. Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted method for the convertible notes and preferred stock and the treasury stock method for warrants and options. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

Most of our goat milk products are formulated through the inclusion of supplements such as vitamins, calcium, iron, selenium, chromium and omega-3 fatty acids, as needed to address the nutritional or health needs of the consumers. We sell and distribute our products through a network of approximately 3,800 retail points including infant-maternity chain stores, domestic and multinational supermarkets and drug stores, as well as catalogue sales across China. We sell most of our products to more than 200 distributors, who in turn sell our products to the retail points. The distributors are located in 23 provinces in China. In order to streamline the distribution process, we directly contract with infant-maternity store chains with more than 20 stores. This allows us to sell directly to the chains without an agent. We also hope to shift our revenue mix towards greater infant-maternity stores sales as they have lower slotting fees and higher margins.

Taxation

United States

Yayi International Inc. is subject to United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 41%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as Yayi International Inc. had no income taxable in the United States.

British Virgin Islands

Milkgoat Industrial was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, or BVI, and under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.

PRC

In 2007, the PRC government promulgated the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, and the relevant implementation rules, which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules, all domestic and foreign investment companies will be subject to a uniform enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and dividends from PRC subsidiaries to their non-PRC shareholders will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 20%, which is further reduced to 10% by the implementation rules, if the non-PRC shareholder is considered to be a non-PRC tax resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the dividends payable has no connection with the non-PRC shareholder’s establishment or place within China, unless any such non-PRC shareholder’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. In addition, pursuant to the EIT Law, enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions, but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, should be treated as resident enterprises for PRC tax purposes. However, it is currently uncertain whether we may be deemed a resident enterprise, or how to interpret whether any income or gain is derived from sources within China.  Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to our non-PRC shareholders and us.  If we, as a Delaware company with substantially all of our management located in China, were treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, we will be subject to PRC tax on our worldwide income at the 25% uniform tax rate, which would have an impact on our effective tax rate.

The EIT Law and the Implementing Rules also imposes a unified EIT of 25% on both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises, effective January 1, 2008.  As a result, each of our PRC subsidiaries, Milkgoat China, Weinan Milkgoat, Fuping Milkgoat, and Shaanxi Milkgoat have been subject to a 25% income tax rate in each of calendar years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Net Sales.  Our net sales are generated from sales of premium goat milk formula products.  Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $8.0 million, an increase of 25% from the same period last year.  This increase was primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in slotting fees as compared to the prior year period, which are offset to revenue as they are incurred. In the past, we paid a substantial amount of slotting fees when we developed new supermarket distribution channels. Since the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we have changed our marketing strategy, focused on increasing sales volume on the existing supermarkets, and slowed down the pace of opening new stores. The decrease in slotting fees resulted in an increase in the unit sales price of our formula product to $31,872 per ton from $23,448 per ton for the prior year period. Excluding the impact of slotting fees, the sales in formula products increased by 3.4% from $7.9 million to $8.1 million. In order to develop infant-maturity stores as a sales channel alongside our commitment to establish our presence in supermarkets, we launched three new infant formula products specifically targeting infant-maternity stores in this quarter. We refined our brand image and positioned ourselves as a provider of premium milk powder products.

The following table sets forth the information relating to the quantity and sales price of goat milk powder we sold during the periods indicated:

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and overhead.  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $2.7 million, an increase of 9% from the three months ended December 31, 2010 which is primarily due to the increase of the unit cost of powdered formula products by 14.8% from $9,338 per ton to $10,917 per ton as a result of the increase in the cost of raw milk and added nutrients.
 
Gross Profit.  Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our net sales and our cost of goods sold.  Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $5.3million, an increase of 34% from the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Our gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased to 66.3% from 61.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which is mainly attributable to the increased unit price of our powder products. In addition, we reduced the sale of raw milk powder, which has a lower margin.

Operating expenses. Our total operating and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by approximately $1 million to $5.1 million or 21% from the three months ended December 31, 2011.  Following is a discussion of the reasons for this increase broken down by category of operating expense:

Sales and marketing expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, sales and marketing expenses increased approximately 36% to $4.2 million from $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of in-store promotion activities. The promotion fee for the in-store promotion were approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 53% compared with $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the salaries and benefits paid to our sales and marketing staff decreased approximately by 1.5% to 0.67 million from $0.68 million due to the decrease of the number of staff  by 30.6% compared to the same period of last fiscal year. As a result, the productivity for the sales and marketing department increased significantly. Per Capita sales contribution increased by 79.5% from $6,273 per sales and marketing staff for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $11,260 per sales and marketing staff for the three months ended December 31, 2011.Other miscellaneous expenses increased approximately 3.4% to $0.3 million from $0.29 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we improved the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts at existing sales points, rather than focusing on the expansion of our distribution network. We believe that our investment in sales and marketing for building our brand “Milkgoat” as well as further strengthening our distribution capability will bring substantial, tangible benefits in terms of increase in our net sales going forward.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 22% to $0.9 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 due to a decrease of $0.36 million of stock compensation to our officers.  

Other income (expenses). Our other expenses consist primarily of interest, finance cost, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on write down of assets held for sale and expenses on make good provision related to $8.92 million convertible notes.  Other expenses increase by approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to a decrease of income of $0.78 million in change in fair value of derivative liabilities from $0.98 million to $0.2 million, an increase of interest expense of $0.2 million to $0.3 million from $0.1 million. Amortization of deferred cost increased from $0.43 million to $0.56 million. The increase of other expenses was partially offset by a decrease of expense on make good provision by approximately $0.3 million from an expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to an income of $0.02 million. We plan to lease and sell eight goat farms that we own in Shanxi Province in March 2012 to various third parties for a rent of $0.25 million per year. The value of the building and equipment located at the goat farms are reclassified from Property, plant and equipment to Assets held for sale according to the lower of its fair value and historical cost.  We use a discount rate of 8% to calculate the present value. As a result, a shortfall of $623,305 are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2011 (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income Tax. Our income tax expense in the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by 13%, from approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010 to approximately $0.11 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in income before tax in the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss attributable to Yayi International Inc. increased by 393% in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Net loss attributable to stockholders. Our net loss attributable to stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased to $3.1 million, compared with approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to the factors described above and an increase of $2.0 million in accretion of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net Sales.  Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $25 million, an increase of 20% from the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  This increase was primarily due to a decrease of $4.1 million in the slotting fees as compared to the prior year period, which are offset to revenue as they are incurred, as we have changed our marketing strategy and focused on increasing sales volume on the existing supermarkets and slowed down the pace of opening new stores since the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in slotting fees resulted in an increase in the unit sales price of our formula product to $30,390 per ton from $23,364 per ton for the prior year period. As the number of Chinese raw milk powder producers decreased due to the government-mandated manufacturing license renewals, the market demand for our raw milk powder increased.  As a result, we sold approximately $0.7 million raw milk powder to external customers through our subsidiary Fuping Milkgoat during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $0 sold in the same period in prior year.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $9.0 million, an increase of 12% from the nine months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in the cost related to raw milk powder sales. In line with the decrease in the sales volume of formula products, the unit cost of powdered formula products increased by 12% from $9,153 per ton to $10,245 per ton, which is mainly due to general increases in the costs of raw milk and added nutrients.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $16.0 million, an increase of 26% from the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  Our gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased to 64.1% from 61.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, which is mainly attributable to the decrease in slotting fees paid and the giveaway cost, partially offset by the increase in the costs of raw materials.

Operating expenses.  Our total operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million to $13.4 million or 5.6% from the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  Following is a discussion of the reasons for this increase broken down by category of operating expense:

Sales and marketing expenses. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, sales and marketing expenses increased approximately 1% to $10.9 million from $10.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in promotion expenses, partially offset by the decrease in advertising expenses, salaries of marketing staff and other miscellaneous expenses.

Advertising and promotional expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $8.4 million, an increase of 13.4% from the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  Advertising expenses were approximately $0.25 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of 86.2% from $1.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  The primary reason for the decrease was due to our decision to realign our marketing efforts. Promotional expenses were approximately $8.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 45.6% compared with $5.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, which is mainly due to the fact that we shifted from large investment in TV commercials to promotion activities in stores.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the salaries and benefits paid to our sales and marketing staff decreased approximately 19.1% to $1.8 million from $2.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 due to the decrease of the number of staff by 22% compared to the same period of last fiscal year. As a result, the productivity for the department increased significantly. Per Capita sales contribution increased by 75.2% from $19,563 per sales and marketing staff for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to $34,277 per sales and marketing staff for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Other miscellaneous expenses such as travel expenses decreased approximately 39.7% to $0.7 million from $1.2 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we improved the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts at existing sales points, rather than focusing on the expansion of our distribution network during this period. We believe that our investments in sales and marketing for building our brand “Milkgoat” as well as further strengthening our distribution capability will bring substantial, tangible benefits in terms of increase in our net sales going forward.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 26% to $2.5 million from $3.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  It was primarily attributable to $0.8 million decrease in stock compensation.

Other expenses. Other expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 247%, primarily attributable to an increase in change in amortization of deferred financing cost and debt discount which offset the gain on fair value of derivative liabilities.  We plan to lease and sell eight goat farms that we own in Shanxi Province in March 2012 to various third parties for a rent of $0.25 million per year. The value of the building and equipment located at the goat farms are reclassified from Property, plant and equipment to Assets held for sale according to the lower of its fair value and historical cost.  We use a discount rate of 8% to calculate the present value. As a result, a shortfall of $623,305 are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2011 (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income Tax. Our income tax expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $0.8 million, from a benefit of approximately $0.02 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to an expense of approximately $0.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in income before tax for PRC subsidiaries for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Net Income. As a result of the factors described above, net income attributable to Yayi International Inc. increased by 106% in the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Net loss attributable to stockholders. Our net loss attributable to stockholders for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased to $5.3 million, compared with approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to the factors described above and an increase of $5.4 million in accretion of Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.9 million and working capital of approximately $9.8 million.

We intend to, and are in the process of, expanding our administrative and production facilities to meet our current needs and anticipated increased demand for our products.  In connection therewith, we plan to spend approximately $12.6 million during the 15 months ending March 31, 2013 ($1.6 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 and $11 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013).  The $12.6 million in capital expenditure is expected to be mainly used for the following items:

$3.8 million for the purchase of machineries and equipment for the new powder processing plant in Weinan, Shaanxi and Fuping, Shaanxi ;
$0.8million for the purchase of livestock, construction of goat farms and goat milk collection stations;
$7.4million for the purchase of packing equipment, factory and warehouse, renovation of the office facility and staff apartment building in Jinghai, Tianjin and $0.6 million for the purchase of information technology equipment and systems.

The Convertible Notes are also convertible into shares of our common stock at any time prior to the Maturity Date at $2.00 per share, which conversion price is subject to weighted average and other customary anti-dilution protections. See our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2010 for more information of this private placement transaction.

On November 4, 2010, Milkgoat China entered into a working capital loan agreement with Tianjin Bank, Shaoxing Dao Branch, or Tianjin Bank, pursuant to which, Tianjin Bank loaned to Milkgoat China RMB20,000,000 (approximately $3,127,346) to purchase raw materials.

Pursuant to the short-term loan agreement, Bank of Beijing agreed to loan to Milkgoat China an aggregate RMB10,000,000 (approximately $1,563,673) for working capital, guaranteed by Tianjin Haitai Investment Guarantee Co., Ltd. The loan has an annual interest rate of 7.872% and the interests must be paid on a quarterly basis on the 20th of the last month of each quarter. The loan expires on August 16, 2012 but can be renewed upon the written consent by Bank of Beijing. Under the terms of the loan agreement, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants. The loan may be accelerated and Bank of Beijing may demand immediate payment of the principal and accrued interests upon the occurrence of an event of default which includes, among other things, a failure to make principal or interest payments, a failure to comply with other covenants and certain events of liquidation or bankruptcy.

In addition, at any time after June 30, 2012, the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock have the right to request the Company to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash, amounted to $26,383,562, if certain qualified events have not occurred by June 30, 2012 (Note 20).  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as the cash redemption requirement could post a significant impact on the Company’s cash flow.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Except for the above going concern, we believe that our currently available working capital should be adequate to sustain our daily operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months. However, depending on our future needs, changes and trends in the capital markets affecting our shares and the company, we may determine to seek additional debt financing from commercial bank or equity financing in the private or public markets.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $0.95 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  The changes in net operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 were primarily related to a $1.03 million increase in accounts receivables due to our extended term for new products promotion,  partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable due to the peak season for collecting raw goat milk and preparing for the upcoming sales demand, a $0.4 million decrease in accrued interest on convertible notes as we paid $0.4 million interests at the end of December 2011, a $0.4 million decrease in other payable and accrued expenses mainly due to $0.6 million of bills payable had been paid  for the nine months ended December 31,2011. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was mainly attributable to the net loss from operations of $2.0 million, non-cash items not affecting cash flows of $1.3 million and a $1.0 million increase in working capital.  We are enhancing our production planning and accounts receivables collection to improve our operating cash flow performance.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $1.0 million, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million from approximately $1.3 million of the corresponding period in the prior year. The change was mainly caused by the fact that we paid fewer amounts for investing activities compared to last period. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we prepaid $0.4 million for the Jinghai equipment purchase and $0.5 million Fuping Milkgoat and Milkgoat China equipment upgrade.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $3.1 million compared to approximately $9.1 million of net cash provided by these activities during the corresponding period in the prior year.  The change is primarily attributable to the $8.92 million gross proceeds from the private placement transaction closed on September 27, 2010, while we did not make similar financing during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in the net cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by $2.5 million bank loans increase during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. We had $1.0 million bank’s acceptance bills matured during this period of time, which resulted in a $1.0 million decrease in restricted cash.

Effects of Inflation

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

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Seasonality

Goat milk production is seasonal because goats generally do not produce milk from November through February. During such period, we generate sales of goat milk powder from our inventory that builds during the period preceding such hiatus.  In addition, the consumption of goat milk is also seasonal with greater demand in winter and public holiday seasons..

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management.  Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions.  There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that provide disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective April 1, 2011.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements for any business combinations in 2011.  The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In April 2010 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This Update provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency  of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted.  This standard was adopted effective April 1, 2011 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this Update modify Step 1 so that 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 a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires 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. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption of the amendments, any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of an adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings.  This standard is not currently applicable to the Company because the Company currently does not have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Ms. Li Liu and Ms. Jing Chen, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Ms. Li Liu and Ms. Jing Chen concluded that as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting for the period as disclosed below.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

As we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2011, during our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, management identified the following significant deficiencies:

·  
Our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources and appropriate system to perform such function. Therefore, our ability to prevent and control lapses and errors in our accounting function could not be rendered effectively.

·  
Our current accounting staff is relatively inexperienced with respect to U.S. GAAP and needs substantial training to meet the higher demands of being a U.S. public company.

In order to correct the foregoing significant deficiencies, during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, we have taken and are taking the following remediation measures that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:

·  
We have engaged a third party professional consultant, as announced on November 17, 2009, to assist us in assessing, improving and monitoring our internal control over financial reporting. We have been actively working with the external consultant to assess our data collection, financial reporting, and control procedures and to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.  

·  
We are committed to develop a comprehensive and risk-based internal audit function within the Company. Due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we have engaged an external professional consultancy firm to assist the management in developing the internal audit system. At the same time, we have employed experienced staff with respect to U.S. GAAP-based reporting. We have enhanced our efforts to hire sufficient internal audit resources with assistance from recruiters and through referrals.

In connection with the above remediation measures, we agreed to pay the third party professional consultant a service fee of approximately RMB 0.7 million (approximately $0.11 million) for their assistance in the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we hired five more staff to work in our Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance department with an aggregate monthly salary of RMB17, 980 (approximately $2,700).

Our management is committed to improving our internal controls. We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate to put effective controls in place.

Our management does not believe that these significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to contain a material misstatement.
