Report of Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated Balance Sheets of Energroup Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

1. The Company and Principal Business Activities

Energroup Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCBB: ENHD) is a holding company incorporated in the state of Nevada in the United States of America whose primary business operations are conducted through its three operating subsidiaries: (1) Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., (“Food Company”) (2) Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd. (“Meat Company”), and (3) Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd. (“Sales Company”), which are incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company is headquartered in the City of Dalian, Liaoning Province of China.

The three operating subsidiaries were spun-off constituents of the former parent company, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. (“Group”). The Company indirectly holds the three operating subsidiary companies through its wholly owned intermediary subsidiaries: (A) Precious Sheen Investments Limited (“PSI”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, and (B) Dalian Chuming Precious Sheen Investments Consulting Co., Ltd., (“Chuming”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC.

The Company’s primary business activities are the production and packing of fresh pork and also production of processed meat products for distribution and sale to clients throughout the PRC and Russia.

Corporate Reorganization

PRC law currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies. To enable Chuming to raise equity capital from investors outside of China, it established an offshore holding company by incorporating Precious Sheen Investments Limited in the British Virgin Islands in May 2007. On September 26, 2007, Chuming entered into share transfer agreements with Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., under which Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. agreed to transfer ownership of three operating subsidiaries (collectively known as “Chuming Operating Subsidiaries”) to Chuming. On October 23, 2007, Chuming completed all required registrations to complete the share transfer, and became the 100% owner of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries. On November 14, 2007 the Dalian Commerce Bureau approved the transfer of Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd’s 68% interest in Chuming to PSI, and upon this transfer, Chuming became a wholly foreign owned enterprise, with PSI as the 100% owner of Chuming (including its subsidiaries). On December 13, 2007, the PRC government authorities issued Chuming a business license formally recognizing it as a wholly foreign owned enterprise, of which PSI is the sole shareholder.

The following is a description of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries: -

A. Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is acquiring, slaughtering, and packaging of pork and cattle;

B. Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is the processing of raw and cooked meat products; and

C. Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd., which is responsible for Chuming’s sales, marketing, and distribution operations.

Energroup Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Share Exchange Transaction

On December 31, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of PSI in exchange for the issuance of 16,850,000 restricted shares of our common stock to the shareholders of PSI, which represented approximately 97.55% of the then-issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (excluding the shares issued in the Financing). As a result of that transaction, PSI became our wholly owned subsidiary and we acquired the business and operations of the three operation subsidiaries.

The share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of PSI where the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and PSI (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. As a result of this transaction, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of PSI.

Accordingly, the financial data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to December 31, 2007 is that of the accounting acquirer (PSI). The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(A)

Method of Accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

(B)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements, which include the Company and its subsidiaries, are compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company owned the three operating subsidiaries since its inception. The Company also owns two intermediary holdings companies. As of September 30, 2009, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows: -

The consolidation of these operating subsidiaries into a newly formed holding company i.e. “the Company” is permitted by United States GAAP: ARB51 paragraph 22 and 23.

(C)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

(D)

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid equity or debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(E)

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends unsecured, non-interest bearing credit to its customers; accordingly, the Company carries an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate, made by management. Management makes its estimate based on prior experience rates and assessment of specific outstanding customer balances. Management may extend credit to new customers who have met the criteria of the Company’s credit policy.

(F)

Inventory Carrying Value

Inventory, consisting of raw materials in the form of livestock, work in progress, and finished products, is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished products are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. Periodic evaluation is made by management to identify if inventory needs to be written down because of damage, or spoilage. Cost is computed using the weighted average method.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

(G)

Purchase Deposit

Purchase deposit represents the cash paid in advance for purchasing raw materials. The purchase deposit is interest free and unsecured.

(H)

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing the function and/or useful life are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from such transactions are recognized.

Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life with a 5% salvage value. Their useful lives are as follows: -

Fixed Asset Classification		Useful Life
Land Improvements		10 years
Buildings		20 years
Building Improvements		10 years
Manufacturing Machinery & Equipment		10 years
Office Equipment		5 years
Furniture & Fixtures		5 years
Vehicles		5 years

(I)

Land Use Rights

Land Use Rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over its useful life, using the straight-line method. The useful life of the land use right is 50 years.

(J)

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents the direct costs of design, acquisition, and construction of buildings, building improvements, and land improvements. These costs are capitalized in the Construction-in-Progress account until substantially all activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. At such point, the Construction-in-Progress account is closed and the capitalized costs are transferred to their appropriate asset classification. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

(K)

Accounting for Impairment of Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets.

(L)

Customer Deposits

Customer Deposits represents money the Company has received in advance for purchases of pork and pork products. The Company considers customer deposits as a liability until products have been shipped and revenue is earned.

The Company collects a damage deposit (as a deterrent) recorded in Other Payable from showcase store operators as a means of enforcing proper use of the Company’s trademarks. These are not fees, but deposits that are carried as current liabilities until and unless an operator violates the Company’s policies (e.g. misuse of Company brand names, or sale of substandard or counterfeit products, or unacceptably poor customer service), or if the proprietor ceases to operate the showcase store. If no violations have been committed by the showcase store operator, the deposit is returned to the operator. The Company carries the amount of these deposits as a current liability because the Company will return the deposit immediately to the operator when the Company ceases to conduct business with the operator.

(M)

Statutory Reserve

Statutory reserve refer to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and, are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, from its earnings, an amount to the statutory reserve to be used for future company development. Such an appropriation is made until the reserve reaches a maximum equalling 50% of the enterprise’s capital.

(N)

Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

(O)

Recognition of Revenue

Revenue from the sale of pork products, etc., is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title has passed.

The Company supplies pork products, equipment, uniforms, and technical support to the proprietors of showcase stores, who are granted the right to use the Company’s trademarks to sell pork products. Start-up fees relating to uniforms are immaterial and are charged to the showcase store operators merely to recoup setup costs. Any funds collected from store operators in conjunction with initial startup and operation is minimal and immaterial. The Company does not charge any fees for providing equipment to the showcase stores. The Company provides equipment at its own cost, and the Company owns all such equipment. Considering the foregoing, the Company takes the position that any amount it receives from the store operators is not material in accordance with Rule 5-03.1 of Regulation S-X. In addition, since the Company does not receive any material franchise fee revenue, SFAS 45 is not applicable.

Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC) tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

As a result of the new tax law of a standard 25% tax rate, tax holidays terminated as of December 31, 2007. However, PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises already started tax holidays before January 1, 2008, to continue enjoying the tax holidays until being fully utilized.

(X)

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Energroup Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Exchange Rates	9/30/2009		12/31/2008		9/30/2008
Period end RMB : US$ exchange rate		6.8376		6.8542		6.8551
Average period RMB : US$ exchange rate		6.8425		6.9623		6.9989

RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

(Y)

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., contingent shares, convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.)

(Z)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Energroup Holdings Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

In June 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers for Financial Assets and FASB Statement No. 167, a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures.

Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance.

On July 1, 2009, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The ASC has become the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and provides that all such guidance carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s accounting system in the past was manual and accordingly is not able to, from a cost benefit perspective, summarize and provide further detail on the related party transactions. Also, the Company’s current accounting department does not have sufficient staff in order to perform and exercise to further detail the related party payables and receivables beyond what has been provided above; however the Company is taking steps to update its accounting systems and methods to provide fuller detail regarding these transactions for future periods. The Company does represent that the balances disclosed above are both accurate and reliable within acceptable thresholds of materiality.

The Company’s related party receivables and payables in the period presented were in the form of either short-term loans bearing no interest, or trade payables and receivables relating to the purchase of raw materials, supplies or products for which payment was due within a short period of time. Management believes that the net receivables from related parties are fully recoverable.

Of the $17,714,847 net receivable owed by the Group to the Company, $4,387,504 has been securitized by bank drafts issued by the bank on behalf of Chuming Stockbreeding Combo. Development Co., Ltd. of the Group to the Company. These notes are collateralized by deposits at the bank by Chuming Stockbreeding Combo. The drafts can be endorsed and discounted to the bank for cash; however the Company currently intends to hold these drafts until maturity.

12.	Advertising Costs

Advertising expenses were $163,029 and $1,546,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

13.	Income Taxes

The Company’s different operating subsidiaries are subject to different income tax regulations under PRC law.

The operating subsidiary, Meat, has been given special tax-free status by the PRC government because of the Company standing as leader in its industry in Dalian; therefore, no provision for income tax in the PRC was made for period ended September 30, 2009.

The Company’s operating subsidiary, Food, has made provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $1,441,418.

The Company’s operating subsidiary, Sales, has not made provision for income tax in 2009 as it has incurred operating losses during the nine months period.

After adjusting for special tax-free status and net operating loss, the consolidated taxable earnings were determined, and the results were as follows: -

i.	2008	Tax expense	(520,089)
ii.	2007	Tax expense	(967,539)
iii.	2006	Tax benefit	1,609

Beginning December 31, 2007, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries became subject to U.S. income tax liability; however, the tax is deferred until foreign source income is repatriated to the Company and the Company has not currently determined when foreign source income will be repatriated. Accordingly, the company has not made any provisions for U.S. income tax liability.

On March 16, 2007, the PRC government passed new tax legislation that repealed preferential tax treatment for foreign investment enterprises in the PRC and enacted new tax regulations. Under such regulations, with certain exceptions, both domestic and foreign enterprises will be taxed at a standard enterprise income tax rate of 25%. The Company’s two operating subsidiaries, Food, and Sales are subject to the 25% income tax rate beginning January 1, 2008. Based on current PRC legislation, Meat should be expected to continue benefiting from a tax holiday.

14.	Commitments

It is company policy to develop plant facilities based on availability of cash resources without incurring capital commitments. Therefore, the Company did not have any capital commitments existing at September 30, 2009.

On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a hog purchase agreement whereby the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd will provide at fair market price a minimum number of hogs to the Company. At September 30, 2009, the Company expects minimum quantities of hogs detailed in the following table:-

Year	Hogs		Price Per Hog		Amount
2009 (October to December)		124,824	$	187.13	$	23,358,315
2010		800,000	$	205.84		164,674,737
					$	188,033,052

The Company believes that the fair market price of the hogs will increase by 10% each year. The assumption of 10% reflects that Company expectations in regards to inflation, and the rising costs of inputs in breeding livestock.

15.	Operating Segments

The Company individually tracks the performance of its three operating subsidiaries Meat Company, Food Company, and Sales Company. Meat Company is primarily engaged in the slaughter and processing of pork livestock for wholesale and retail distribution. Food Company is primarily engaged in the production of pork-based food products, such as sausages and cured meats, for retail distribution. Sales Company is primarily engaged in the sale and distribution of products produced by Food Company and Meat Company.

The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. He evaluates each operating segment on the following measures of profit or loss: gross profit, operating income, and earnings before taxes, and net income. When he makes decisions on the strategic plans of each operating segment, he considers the foregoing measures of profit or loss and their impact on the overall performance of the Company as a whole.

Below is a presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial position for its operating subsidiaries at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods then ended. The Company has also provided reconciling adjustments with the Company and its intermediate holding companies Dalian Chuming Precious Sheen Investments Consulting Ltd. (“Chuming WFOE”) and Precious Sheen Investments Ltd (PSI).

(A)

Demand risk

The Company had concentrations of risk in demand for its products because its sales were made to a small number of customers.

(B)

Supply Risk

The Company is subject to concentration of supply shortage risk because it purchases its materials for resale from a few select vendors. The Company’s availability of supply is correlated with the few select vendors’ ability to meet the market demand. In 2007, the entire industry in the PRC faced a shortage in the supply of hogs.

18. Financing Transaction

On December 31, 2007, the Company, a Nevada corporation (“Energroup” or the “Company”), acquired Precious Sheen Investments Ltd. (“PSI”) in a reverse take-over transaction, by executing a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among Energroup, PSI, and all of the shareholders of PSI’s issued and outstanding share capital (the “PSI Shareholders”). PSI owned 100% of the equity in Chuming WFOE. Chuming WFOE is a holding company for the following three operating subsidiaries: (i) Meat Company, (ii) Food Company, and (iii) Sales Company, each of which is a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, China (also referred to elsewhere as the “Chuming Operating Subsidiaries”).

As a result of the reverse take-over transaction, PSI’s Shareholders became Energroup’s controlling shareholders and PSI became Energroup’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of PSI becoming Energroup’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Energroup acquired the business and operations of Chuming and the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries.

Under the Exchange Agreement, Energroup completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PSI through the issuance of 16,850,000 restricted shares of common stock of Energroup to PSI’s Shareholders. Immediately prior to the Exchange Agreement transaction, the Company had 422,756 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after the issuance of the shares to PSI’s Shareholders, the Company had 17,272,756 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The 422,756 shares of PSI were cancelled and 17,272,756 shares of Energroup were issued to reflect this reverse take-over transaction.

Concurrently with the Exchange Agreement, Energroup also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Energroup agreed to issue and sell 3,863,635 shares of its common stock to ten accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $17,000,000 or $4.40 per share (the “Financing”). The closing of the Financing coincided with the Closing of the reverse take-over transaction.

In connection with the sales of securities to accredited investors under the securities purchase agreement, Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), was compensated with a commission of $1,190,000 which is equal to 7.00% of the aggregate purchase price and a warrant to purchase the 386,364 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.40 per share. At December 31, 2007, the Company had adequate authorized capital to issue common shares upon the exercise of the warrant.

At September 30, 2009, the total number of shares outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, is shown in the following table:

i.	Common shares outstanding prior to offering of securities	17,272,756
ii.	Common shares issued under securities purchase agreement	3,863,636
iii.	Common shares issuable upon exercise of placement agent warrants	386,364

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Concurrent with the Company’s financing transaction, the Company agreed to register for resale the common shares that were sold under the securities purchase agreement. Pursuant to filing a Form S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors. The agreement calls for liquidated damages to be paid by the Company, if in the event the registration statement is not declared effective within 135 days of the closing of the financing transaction. The liquidated damages will be 1% of the total financing amount in cash per month for each month after the 135 days period. The agreement states a maximum penalty of $1.70 million or 10% of the financing amount. At December 31, 2007, the Company accounted for the liability under the registration rights agreement in accordance with FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements. Under such accounting treatment, the liquidated damages are accounted for as a reduction of the proceeds. In asserting the most conservative position, the Company has accrued the maximum liability of $1.7 million and is carrying that balance in the accrued liabilities account. In the event that the registration becomes effective in a timeframe that is earlier than February 15, 2009, the portion that is not legally owed, or in the event that investors waive any liquidating damages, the accrual will be reversed and the funds will be added back to the Company’s additional paid in capital.

In connection with a make good agreement related to the financing transaction on December 31, 2007, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Shi Huashan placed in escrow 3,863,636 shares, which were beneficially owned by him. These shares are to be released back to him if the Company meets the following earnings targets of $15.9 million, and $20.9 million in after-tax net income for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2009 respectively. In the event that the Company does not meet the aforementioned financial targets, the escrowed shares will be released, on a pro-rata basis, to the investors in the financing transaction. In accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share, for the sake of calculating the Company’s earnings per share, the Company has accounted for the 3,863,636 escrowed shares as contingently issuable shares as such they are not included in the weighted average basic shares outstanding but are included in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Please refer to Note 16.

In accordance with Topic 5.T of the Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB 79), the Company expects to record a compensatory expense for the shares upon their release from escrow. Whether the shares are released to the accredited investors or released to Mr. Shi the Company will record an expense with a corresponding credit to the Company’s contributed paid in capital. The Company anticipates that compensatory expense to be recognized in future operating periods could be in a range between $17.0 million to $29.2 million. The Company approximates this range based on the per share offering price of $4.40 at December 31, 2007 and a potential future stock price of $7.57 based on a $20.0 million net income (short of the target of $20.9 million net income) with a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.0, which is comparable to the valuation used in the offering at December 31, 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an expense for the expected release of shares deposited in the escrow account. The Company expects that 1,931,818 shares will be released. The amount of expense recorded was $10,622,294. The impact on earnings per share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $0.61 and $0.50, respectively. Simultaneously, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company expects that 1,448,864 shares will be released and have recorded the expense of $12,838,043. The impact on earnings per share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $0.75 and $0.61, respectively.

OVERVIEW

Headquartered in the City of Dalian, Liaoning Province of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), we are a meat processing company primarily involved in the slaughtering, processing, packaging and distribution of pork and pork products. We also process and sell seafood, such as minced fillet products, which accounted for a small portion of our revenue (approximately 7.86%) in the third quarter of 2009.

We are the first pork producer in China to receive “Green Food” certification from China’s Ministry of Agriculture. Green Food is an innovative certification program unique to China that is awarded to food processors who produce using environmentally sustainable methods and meet certain high technical standards of quality control, safety, and product quality, and generate low levels of pollution. The Green Food certification is based on standards defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (“CAC”), a joint body of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. We also received ISO 9001:2000 certification that covers our production, research and development and sales activities.

Currently we have a wholesale and retail distribution network and sell either directly or indirectly across northeast China, including supermarkets and hypermarkets.

As of September 30, 2009, we had 732 employees, of whom 387 were operating personnel, 256 were sales personnel, 39 were research and development personnel and 50 were administrative personnel.

Dalian Precious Sheen Investments Consulting Co., Ltd., or Chuming WFOE, is our holding company established in China for our three PRC operating subsidiaries, collectively referred to elsewhere in this report as the “Chuming Operating Subsidiaries”:

	1.	Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd. ( “Meat Company”), whose primary business activity is acquiring, slaughtering and packaging of pork and cattle;
	2.	Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd. ( “Food Company”), whose primary business activity is the processing of raw and cooked meat products; and
	3.	Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd. (“Sales Company”), which is responsible for our sales, marketing and distribution operations.

The Chuming Operating Subsidiaries are spin-off constituents of a former parent company, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., or the “Group.” Our primary business activities are the production and packing of fresh pork and production of processed meat products for distribution and sale to clients throughout the PRC. Chuming WFOE was incorporated in China as a wholly foreign owned enterprise in December 2007. Chuming WFOE is 100% owned by Precious Sheen Investments Limited (“PSI”), a holding company established in the British Virgin Islands in May 2007.

Pork is widely regarded as China’s most important source of meat and is consumed at a much higher rate than other categories of meat. We believe that increasing levels of consumption of pork products in China is linked to the rapid development of the Chinese economy, urbanization and strong income growth.

Aside from increasing aggregate consumption, based on management’s research, pork consumption patterns in recent years have shown two main characteristics. The first is that per capita pork is consumed at higher rates in the urban areas of China as opposed to rural areas, although the rate of growth in these urban consumption rates is relatively slight. The second is that consumers’ consumption preferences appear to have shifted from frozen meat to fresh meat, and from fat meat to lean meat, with a tendency toward high quality cuts. Management believes these trends continue to be very favorable to our business which is based on mechanized meat processing and sales to urban consumers.

Our total sales volume was 82,585 metric tons in the third quarter of 2009, 27,697 metric tons in the second quarter of 2009, 18,512 metric tons in the first quarter of 2009, 18,007 metric tons in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Due to a shortage in supply, live hog prices rose significantly in 2008. Retail pork prices are an important component of China’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation indicator. In order to moderate increases in the CPI and maintain the living standard of its lower-income population, the Chinese government (as it pertains to the pork industry) has implemented a number of policies to encourage pork production. The average pork price has declined somewhat from the first quarter of 2009, mainly because of perceptions arising from the appearance of swine flu in late April and early May. In June 2009, the Chinese government purchased and placed in storage large quantities of pork products in order to adjust the pork price in an effort to cause it to rebound to a reasonable level. As a result of this action, the prices of pork have been rising since July 2009, and have risen to a level higher than the prices seen during the first quarter of 2009. The prices are continuing to trend higher.

In China, the pork processing industry remains fragmented, and we believe, inefficient. As smaller players experience pressure from margin compression and stricter government regulations, we believe scaled pork processors, like ourselves, will be positioned to make acquisitions on favorable terms in order to capture market share, gain scale, secure raw material, and access more customers. We expect that the combined factors of stricter hygiene regulations, increasing competition from well-financed players, and struggling meat suppliers, will induce industry consolidation in the coming years. We believe we are in a strong position to continue to take advantage of the Chinese government’s support for leading pork producers, these market consolidation trends, and the emerging hog supply situation. Management believes that this is a long-term trend.

Given the current competitive market conditions, we constantly strive to impose strict quality control in our products and utilize state-of-art slaughtering and cutting lines (which are imported from Stork Co. of the Netherlands), to ensure our product quality, increase awareness of our brand and develop customer loyalty. Our research suggests that consumers in China are increasingly conscious of food safety and nutrition, and they are using their purchasing power to demand safer and higher quality food products for their families.

We place a very high priority on food safety and integrity. For the feeds which are used for our hogs, we control and monitor our feed sources by acquiring feeds only from qualified suppliers who are licensed in the nation or the province, and then carry out comprehensive tests to ensure quality. All of our production lines have also passed the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) test, which is certified by Moody International Certification Ltd. Management anticipates that companies such as ours, with quality meat processing and modern logistics systems, will benefit as they capture market share and build consumer brand loyalty.

Management believes that we need to broaden our geographic sales network and diversify our customer base. Our distribution network has been expanded to all three northeastern provinces where we have established our branches in the cities of Harbin and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province, and the City of Changchun, Jilin Province. A broader customer base can not only mitigate our reliance on certain big customers, but also bring us more opportunities. We believe a broader market for our products can increase demand for our products, reduce our vulnerability to market changes, and provide additional areas of growth in the future.

Our top five customers accounted for 35.6% for our total sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. We plan to position our business to diversify our customer base, which is expected to lower this percentage gradually in the future.

Management presently anticipates continued growth in volume of sales. Nevertheless, our ability to meet increased customer demand and maintain profitability will however continue to depend on factors such as our production capacity, availability of working capital, input costs, as well as the other factors described throughout this report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our combined financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our combined financial statements included in this report, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:

Method of Accounting

We maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by us conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

Principles of Consolidation

Our founders have directly or indirectly owned the three operating subsidiaries since their inception. We also own two intermediary holding companies. As of September 30, 2009, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:

Name of Company	Place of Incorporation	Attributable Equity Interest	Registered Capital

Precious Sheen Investments Limited	BVI	100%	USD 10,000

Dalian Chuming Precious Sheen Investment Consulting Co., Ltd.	PRC	100%	RMB 91,009,955

Dalian Chuming Slaughtering & Pork Packaging Co. Ltd.	PRC	100%	RMB 10,000,000

Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Co. Ltd.	PRC	100%	RMB 5,000,000

Dalian Chuming Sales Co. Ltd.	PRC	100%	RMB 5,000,000

The consolidation of these operating subsidiaries into a newly formed holding company i.e. “the Company” is permitted by United States GAAP: ARB51 paragraph 22 and 23.

Use of Estimates

Accounts Receivable

We extend unsecured, non-interest bearing credit to our customers; accordingly, we carry an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate, made by management. Management makes its estimate based on prior experience rates and assessment of specific outstanding customer balances. Management may extend credit to new customers who have met the criteria of our revised credit policy.

Inventory Carrying Value

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life with a 5% salvage value. Their useful lives are as follows:

Fixed Asset Classification		Useful Life
Land Improvements		10 years
Buildings		20 years
Building Improvements		10 years
Manufacturing Machinery & Equipment		10 years
Office Equipment		5 years
Furniture & Fixtures		5 years
Vehicles		5 years

Land Use Rights

Land Use Rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over its useful life, using the straight-line method. The useful life of the land use right is 50 years.

Customer Deposits

Customer Deposits represents money we have received in advance for purchases of pork and pork products. We consider customer deposits as a liability until products have been shipped and revenue is earned. We collect a damage deposit (as a deterrent) recorded on other payable from showcase store operators as a means of enforcing the proper use of our trademark. We carry the amount of these deposits as a current liability because we will return the deposit to the operator when we cease to conduct business with the operator.

Statutory Reserve

Statutory reserve refers to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and, are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, from its earnings, an amount to the statutory reserve to be used for future company development. Such an appropriation is made until the reserve reaches a maximum equaling 50% of the enterprise’s registered capital.

Earnings Per Share

We compute earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., contingent shares, convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2(Z) to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for discussions on recently issued accounting announcements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Sales. Our sales include revenues from sales of our fresh pork, frozen pork, and processed food products. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we had sales of $67,821,080 as compared to sales of $53,725,596 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 26.24%. Our sales for our various product categories in the third quarter of 2009 are summarized as follows:

Sales by product category, in dollars:	Third Quarter 2009 (amount)		% of Total Sales			Third Quarter 2008 (amount)		% of Total Sales			% of increase from 2008 to 2009
Fresh Pork	$	48,102,469		70.90	%	$	42,858,853		79.80	%		12.23	%
Frozen Pork		8,244,934		12.20	%		4,618,716		8.60	%		78.51	%
Processed Food Products		11,473,677		16.90	%		6,248,027		11.60	%		83.64	%

Total Sales	$	67,821,080		100	%		53,725,596		100	%		26.24	%

Sales by product category, by weight of product (metric tons):	Third Quarter 2009 (Weight in tons)		% of Total Sales			Third Quarter 2008 (Weight in tons)		% of Total Sales			% of change from 2008 to 2009
Fresh Pork		28,322		77.86	%		18,681		79.53	%		51.61	%
Frozen Pork		4,196		11.54	%		2,190		9.32	%		91.60	%
Processed Food Products		3,858		10.61	%		2,619		11.15	%		47.31	%

Total Sales		36,376		100	%		23,490		100	%		54.86	%

In the third quarter of 2009, we raised our average per-kilogram sale price for processed food products and decreased our average per-kilogram sale prices for fresh pork and frozen pork to our customers. These changes were inline with changes in the market price for these products. In the third quarter of 2009, our sales volume of fresh pork, frozen pork and processed food products (by weight) increased as compared to the third quarter of 2008, with the frozen pork category continuing experiencing the highest growth in sales volume by weight. We also increased our sales of fresh pork by weight in the third quarter of 2009 as compared with the same period in the prior year. For processed food products, our sales by weight increased by 47.31%, but because of higher per-kilogram prices, our sales revenue for this product category increased by 83.64%. Management attributes the increases in sales revenue in our product categories to the continuing strength in consumer demand for our products in the periods presented.

The following table shows the change in the average price per kilogram for our product to consumers in the quarter ending September 30, 2009, as compared to the same quarter last year:

	Average Per-Kilogram Price to Customers (in $US)
	Third quarter of 2009		Third quarter of 2008		% change			Change in Price
Fresh Pork	$	1.70	$	2.29		-25.97	%	$	-0.60
Frozen Pork	$	1.96	$	2.11		-6.83	%	$	-0.14
Processed Food Products	$	2.97	$	2.39		24.66	%	$	0.59

Although we also sell our products through sales agents, our principal sales channels consist of Chuming-branded showcase stores, supermarkets and restaurants and canteens. The following table summarizes the changes in the number of participants within these sales channels:

	Sales Channels
As of September 30,	Showcase Stores		Supermarkets		Restaurants and Canteens
2008		702		186		3,226
2009		924		572		5,013

As shown in the table above, as of September 30, 2009, as compared to September 30, 2008, we significantly increased the number of participants in all three of these sales channels. We believe the sales from supermarkets and hypermarkets are likely to continue to yield higher profit margins. Their orders tend to be large and stable in quantity, and they usually have better credit. The increase in the number of these participants has resulted in increased sales volume.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2009 increased by $9,991,575 or approximately 21.14%, from $47,254,631 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $57,246,206 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally attributable to the concession on the sales price of the products to sales agents on a condition that sales agent assumes marketing expenses in selling our products, starting in the third quarter of 2008. Our cost of sales for our various product categories in the third quarter of each of 2009 and 2008 is summarized and shown as a percentage of overall cost of sales in the following chart:

	Cost of Sales Third quarter		% of Overall Cost of			Cost of Sales Third quarter		% of Overall Cost of			% of Change from
Product Category	2009		Sales			2008		Sales			2008 to 2009
Fresh Pork	$	41,643,459		72.74	%	$	38,455,262		81.38	%		8.29	%
Frozen Pork		7,093,774		12.39	%		3,925,908		8.31	%		80.69	%
Processed Food Products		8,508,973		14.86	%		4,873,461		10.31	%		74.60	%

Total Cost of Sales	$	57,246,206		100	%	$	47,254,631		100	%		21.14	%

The following table shows our cost of sales in the third quarter of each of 2009 and 2008 as a percentage of sales within each product group.

Product Category:	Cost of Sales Third quarter 2009		% of Product Group Sales			Cost of Sales Third quarter 2008		% of Product Group Sales			% Change Product Group Sales
Fresh Pork	$	41,643,459		86.57	%	$	38,455,262		89.73	%		-3.15	%
Frozen Pork		7,093,774		86.04	%		3,925,908		85.00	%		1.04	%
Processed Food Products		8,508,973		74.16	%		4,873,461		78.00	%		-3.84	%
Total Cost of Sales	$	57,246,206		84.41	%	$	47,254,631		87.96	%		-3.55	%

Our cost of sales of fresh pork products increased by 8.29% and decreased by 3.15% as a percentage of sales of fresh pork products, in each case as compared to the third quarter of 2008. This change resulted principally from the concession on the sales price of the products to sales agents on a condition that each such sales agent assumed marketing expenses in selling our products, starting in the third quarter of 2008. Our cost of sales of frozen pork products increased by 80.69% and by 1.04% as a percentage of sales of frozen pork products, in each case as compared to the third quarter of 2008, because production and sales of this product increased over the respective periods. During the third quarter of 2009, the cost of sales of processed food products increased by 74.60% and decreased by 3.84% as a percentage of sales of processed food products, in each case as compared to the same period last year. Contributing factors to this increase of cost of sales were an increase in sales volume of processed food products and the higher transportation and delivery cost associated with an expanded sales range of this product period over period.

The following table shows the estimated average per-kilogram price we paid for live pigs in 2009 and 2008:

	Average Unit Price Per Kilogram in 2009 (in $US)		Average Unit Price Per Kilogram in 2008 (in $US)		Price Increase/(Decrease) (in $US)		% Increase/(Descrease) from 2008 to 2009
First Quarter		1.7652		2.2936		(0.5284)		(23.03)	%
Second Quarter		1.5032		2.2578		(0.7546)		(33.42)	%
Third Quarter		1.7477		2.2513		(0.5036)		(22.37)	%
Fourth Quarter		N/A		2.105		N/A		N/A	%

The most rapid increase in live pig prices occurred in the third and fourth quarters of 2007, for the highest grades of live pigs. However, live pig prices dropped from their highs in the second quarter of 2008 and have been stable since the third quarter of 2008. We believe that live pig prices will continue to remain stable, or perhaps trend lower, potentially through the first quarter of 2010. We believe this trend of lower, stable prices to be temporary.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $10,574,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $6,470,965 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $4,103,909, or approximately 63.42%. Management attributes the increase in gross profit to increased sales volume of all three product groups and increased pricing on processed pork products. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.59% in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 12.04% for the same period in 2008.

The following table presents our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The table below also shows the percentage of gross profit for each of our product groups, as a percentage of sales for that product group.

Product Group	Gross Profit Third quarter of 2009		% of Product Group Sales			Gross Profit Second quarter of 2008		% of Product Group Sales			% of increase from Third quarter of 2008 to Third Quarter of 2009
Fresh Pork	$	6,459,010		13.43	%	$	4,403,591		10.27	%		46.68	%
Frozen Pork		1,151,160		13.96	%		692,808		15.00	%		66.16	%
Processed Food Products		2,964,704		25.84	%		1,374,566		22.00	%		115.68	%
Total Gross Profit	$	10,574,874		15.59	%	$	6,470,965		12.04	%		63.42	%

In the third quarter of 2009, the gross profit of the fresh pork segment and frozen pork segement increased by 46.68% and 66.16%, respectively, as compared to the same period last year principally due to the increase in sales volume in those two segments despite a lower per-kilogram unit price to customers. The processed food products segment continued to yield period over period a gross profit amount that was the highest among all the product groups as a percentage of product group sales. Because of the high margins and increased prices to consumers of this product, we were able to maintain a stable amount of gross profit in dollar terms for this product period over period.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses totaled $706,664 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $878,893 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $172,229 or 19.60%. This decease is due to a reduction in our advertising expenses. We continued to increase sales made through sales agents, who assumed certain marketing expenses in selling our fresh pork products.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $614,806 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $734,976 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $120,170 or 16.35%. This change is partially attributable to decreased depreciation expense.

Other income (Expense). Our other income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest expense. In the third quarter of 2009, we had other income totaled $7,204. Our total other income in the third quarter of 2009 decreased by $673,140, or 98.94% as compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease in other income is primarily attributable to the decrease of rental income from our frozen storage facility and the exclusion of the government subsidy that was part of other income in prior periods.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,753,010 as compared to $4,320,288 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $567,278 or 13.13%. This decrease in net income is attributable to a compensatory expense arising from the expected release of 1,448,864 of our shares from an escrow arrangement entered into as part of a private equity financing consummated by us in December 2007. See note 18 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

Sales. Our sales include revenues from sales of our fresh pork, frozen pork, and processed food products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had sales of $156,852,674 as compared to sales of $140,309,218 for the same period of 2008, an increase of approximately 11.79%. Our sales for our various product categories for the nine months period ended September 30, 2009 are summarized as follows:

Sales by product category, in dollars:	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 (amount)		% of Total Sales			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 (amount)		% of Total Sales			% of increase from 2008 to 2009

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we raised our average per-kilogram sale price for processed food products and decreased our average per-kilogram sale prices for fresh pork and frozen pork to our customers. These changes were inline with changes in the market price for these products. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our sales volume of fresh pork, frozen pork and processed food products (by weight) increased, with the frozen pork category experiencing the highest growth in sales volume both by weight and in terms of sales revenue. Our sales revenue for fresh pork slightly increased due to the increase of sales volume for this product despite a reduction in the average per-kilogram price. For processed food products, our sales by weight increased by 11.72%, and because of higher per-kilogram prices, our sales revenue for this product category increased by 47.71% as compared with the same period in the prior year. Management attributes the increases in sales revenue in our product categories to the continuing strength in consumer demand for our products in the periods presented.

The following table shows the change in the average price per kilogram for our product to consumers in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period last year:

	Average Per-Kilogram Price to Customers (in $US)
	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009		Nine Months Ended September 30, of 2008		% change			Change in Price
Fresh Pork	$	1.80	$	2.38		-0.24	%	$	-0.58
Frozen Pork	$	1.71	$	2.09		-0.18	%	$	-0.38
Processed Food Products	$	2.90	$	2.19		0.32	%	$	0.71

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by $ $13,286,259 or approximately 11.04%, from $120,329,483 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $133,615,742 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally attributable to the concession on the sales price of the products to sales agents on a condition that sales agent assumes marketing expenses in selling our products, starting in the third quarter of 2008. Our cost of sales for our various product categories in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is summarized and shown as a percentage of overall cost of sales in the following chart:

	Cost of Sales Nine Months Ended September 30		% of Overall Cost of			Cost of Sales Nine Months Ended September 30		% of Overall Cost of			% of increase from
Product Category	2009		Sales			2008		Sales			2008 to 2009
Fresh Pork	$	101,328,631		75.84	%	$	100,269,410		83.33	%		1.06	%
Frozen Pork		14,405,427		10.78	%		7,681,210		6.38	%		87.54	%
Processed Food Products		17,881,684		13.38	%		12,378,863		10.29	%		44.45	%
Total Cost of Sales	$	133,615,742		100	%	$	120,329,483		100	%		11.04	%

The following table shows our cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 as a percentage of sales within each product group.

Product Category:	Cost of Sales Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009		% of Product Group Sales			Cost of Sales Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008		% of Product Group Sales			% Change Product Group Sales
Fresh Pork	$	101,328,631		87.73	%	$	100,269,410		87.49	%		0.24	%
Frozen Pork		14,405,427		83.93	%		7,681,210		82.50	%		1.44	%
Processed Food Products		17,881,684		73.85	%		12,378,863		75.51	%		-1.67	%
Total Cost of Sales	$	133,615,742		85.19	%	$	120,329,483		85.76	%		-0.57	%

Our cost of sales of fresh pork products increased by 1.06% and increased by 0.24% as a percentage of sales of fresh pork products, in each case as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This change resulted principally from the increase of the sales volume. Our cost of sales of frozen pork products increased by 87.54% and by 1.44% as a percentage of sales of frozen pork products, in each case as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, because production and sales of this product increased over the respective periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the cost of sales of processed food products increased by 44.45% but decreased by 1.67% as a percentage of sales of processed food products, in each case as compared to the same period last year. Contributing factors to this increase were an increase in sales volume of processed food products and the higher transportation and delivery cost associated with an expanded sales range of this product period over period.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $23,236,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $19,979,735 for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $3,257,197, or approximately 16.30%. Management attributes the increase in gross profit to strong increases in sales revenue, driven by strong demand for our products, especially our frozen pork products, despite higher input costs and related price increases to our customers. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 14.81% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 14.24% for the same period in 2008.

The following table presents our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The table below also shows the percentage of gross profit for each of our product groups, as a percentage of sales for that product group.

Product Group	Gross Profit Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009		% of Product Group Sales			Gross Profit Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008		% of Product Group Sales			% of Change from 2008 to 2009
Fresh Pork	$	14,222,841		12.27	%	$	14,335,725		12.51	%		-0.79	%
Frozen Pork		2,680,908		16.07	%		1,629,829		17.50	%		64.49	%
Processed Food Products		6,333,183		26.15	%		4,014,181		24.49	%		57.77	%
Total Gross Profit	$	23,236,932		14.81	%	$	19,979,735		14.24	%		16.30	%

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the gross profit of the fresh pork segment fell by 0.79% as compared to the same period last year principally due to lower average-per-kilogram price to customers which offset sales volume increases in this segment. The gross profit of the frozen pork products increased by 64.49% as compared to the same period last year primarily due to the dramatically increase of sales volume despite the lower average per-kilogram price to customers. The processed food products segment continued to yield period over period a gross profit amount that was the highest among all the product groups as a percentage of product group sales. Because of the high margins and increased prices to consumers of this product, we were able to maintain a stable amount of gross profit in dollar terms for this product period over period.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses totaled $2,079,027 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $3,463,947 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $1,384,920 or 39.98%. This decease is due to a reduction in our advertising expenses. We continued to increase sales made through sales agents, who assumed certain marketing expenses in selling our fresh pork products.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $1,885,651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1,881,138 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $4,513 or 0.24%. This change is primarily attributable to increased outside legal fees and audit fees, and increased staff, which was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.

Other income (Expense). Our other income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest expense. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had totaled other income of $35,552 and we did have income of $141,834 from a government subsidy. Our total other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $1,384,508, or 97.50% as compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease in total other income is primarily attributable to the decrease of rental income from our frozen storage facility and the exclusion of the government subsidy that was part of other income in prior periods.

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,719,876 as compared to $14,176,473 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $9,456,597 or 66.71%. This decrease in net income is attributable to a compensatory expense arising from the expected release of 1,448,864 of our shares from an escrow arrangement entered into as part of a private equity financing consummated by us in December 2007. See note 18 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14,670,937, other current assets of $79,711,836 and current liabilities of $37,673,841. At September 30, 2008, we had $5,695,798 in cash and cash equivalents. We presently finance our operations primarily with cash flows from our operations, and we anticipate that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance our short-term cash needs. If we require additional capital to expand or enhance our existing facilities, we will consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowings as potential means of financing.

Net cash sourced in operating activities was $881,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, while net cash flow used in operating activities was $307,586 in the same period of 2008. This is primarily attributable to the increase in gross profits of our products.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3,932,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to cash used in investing activities of $1,638,371 in the same period of 2008. This change is primarily due to amounts used for improvements for one of our fresh food plants in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Net cash sourced from financing activities was $10,253,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $964,516 in the same period of 2008. This increase resulted principally from an increase in our borrowings from banks during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008.

Capital Commitments

In the first quarter of 2008, we relaxed our credit policy for certain of our major customers, permitting them up to a two-month grace period for payment for goods, where previously no such grace period was provided. Management expects that in the short term, this revised credit policy will result in an increase in accounts receivable, and a corresponding reduction in our cash position. Management does not anticipate that this change in our credit policy will result in any deficiency of working capital.

Uses of Liquidity

Our cash requirements through the end of fiscal 2009 will be primarily to fund daily operations for the growth of our business. Management will consider acquiring additional manufacturing capacity for processed foods in the future to strengthen and stabilize our manufacturing base.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be from cash flows generated from operations and cash and cash equivalents currently on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if needed.

We believe our cash flow from operations together with our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through the end of 2009. For our long-term cash needs, we may consider a number of alternative financing opportunities, which may include debt and equity financing. No assurance can be made that such financing will be available to us, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing shareholders may result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from operations.

As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $6,435,007 in aggregate borrowings from the Bank of China under two loans, in the principal amounts of $4,387,504 and $2,047,503, on which we pay interest at rates of 6.1586% and 7.3260% per annum respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $4,387,504 in borrowings from the Bank of Huaxia under one loan, on which we pay interest at a rate of 6.732% per annum. As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $5,850,006 in borrowings from Shanghai Pufa Development Bank under one loan, on which we pay interest at a rate of 5.841% per annum. As of September 30, 2009, we did not have any standby letters of credit or standby repurchase obligations.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

Our operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, and we earn our revenue in Chinese RMB. However, we report our financial results in U.S. Dollars using the closing rate method. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rates between Chinese RMB and the U.S. Dollar will affect our reported financial results. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,773,476, which was a gain; and for the nine months ended September 30 of 2008, $550,999 as a gain.

During 2003 and 2004 the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB to the dollar. In 2009, the RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2009, the market foreign exchanges rate was increased to 6.8376 RMB to one U.S. dollar. As a result, the ongoing appreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar negatively impacted our gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

	Payments Due by Period
			Less than 1		1-3		3-5			5
	Total		Year		Years		Years			Years +

Total Contractual Obligations:	$	204,705,569	$	173,372,517	$	31,333,052	$	_	$	_

As indicated in the table, as of September 30, 2009 we had $188,033,052 in purchase obligations, which relates to our agreement for the purchase and sale of hogs. On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a hog purchase agreement whereby the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd will provide at fair market price a minimum number of hogs to the Company. At September 30, 2009, the Company expects minimum quantities of hogs detailed in the following table:

Year	Hogs		Price Per Hog		Amount
2009 (October to December)		124,824	$	187.13	$	23,358,315
2010		800,000	$	205.84		164,674,737
					$	188,033,052

The Company believes that the fair market price of the hogs will increase by 10% each year. The assumption of 10% reflects the Company’s expectations in regards to inflation, and the rising costs of inputs in breeding livestock.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any 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 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term obligations. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. However, in order to manage the foreign exchange risks, we may engage in hedging activities to manage our financial exposure related to currency exchange fluctuation. In these hedging activities, we might use fixed-price, forward, futures, financial swaps and option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges, as well as long-term structured transactions when feasible.

Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At September 30, 2009, we had approximately $14,670,937 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.

Foreign Exchange Rates. All of our sales and inputs are transacted in Renminbi (“RMB”). As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. However, since we conduct our sales and purchase inputs in RMB, fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to significantly affect our financial stability or gross and net profit margins. We do not currently expect to incur significant foreign exchange gains or losses, or gains or losses associated with any foreign operations.

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between the signing of sales contracts and the settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating business. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of stockholders’ equity. We recorded net foreign currency gains of $1,773,476 and $550,999 in the nine months ended September of 2009 and 2008, respectively. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future. As our sales denominated in foreign currencies, such as RMB, continue to grow, we may consider using arrangements to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, but the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries is RMB. The value of an investment in our stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. A decline in the value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results, the value of an investment in our company and the dividends we may pay in the future, if any, all of which may have a material adverse effect on the price of our stock.

ITEM 4T.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 30, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
