SUMMARY

The items in the following summary are described in more detail later in this prospectus. This summary provides an overview of selected information and does not contain all of the information you should consider. Therefore, you should also read the more detailed information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the notes thereto and matters set forth under “Risk Factors.”

Our Business

We are a holding company that operates through our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Daqing Longheda Food Company Limited, or Longheda, a leading producer of premium specialty fruit-based products in China. We specialize in developing, processing, marketing and distributing a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, including golden berry, crab apple, blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn. Our primary product offering includes fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits, concentrate pulp as well as fresh fruits. We have been producing our premium specialty fruit based products since 2004.

We sell our products through a nationwide sales and distribution network covering 17 provinces in China. As of September 30, 2010, this network was comprised of approximately 38 distributors. Our processed fruit products are mainly sold to food producers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related foods, and our fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets.

Quality and safety are of primary importance to us. We have established quality control and food safety management systems for all stages of our business, including raw material sourcing, producing, packaging, storage and transportation of our products. We currently operate from our manufacturing facilities located in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang, Heilongjiang province, China where abundant supply of a variety of premium specialty fruits is available. We have five fruit processing lines with an aggregate capacity of 17,160 tons.

Our Industry

According to a report on China’s fruit processing industry issued by Beijing Business & Intelligence Consulting Co. Ltd., an independent market research firm, which is hereinafter referred to as the “BBIC Report”, China’s fruit processing industry has grown significantly in the past several years. The total output of processed fruit products in China grew from $16.8 billion in 2005 to $49.7 billion in 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 31.15%. The sales value of processed fruit products in China grew from $17.0 billion in 2005 to $47.0 billion in 2009, representing a CAGR of 28.95%.

With approximately a quarter of the world’s population, China represents a key growth driver for the global fruit food market. According to Euromonitor, the per capita fruit juice consumption in China is currently well below that of major developed countries, indicating that there is significant growth potential for products like ours. We believe the growth of China’s fruit based products has been, and will continue to be, driven by growing acceptance and increasing affordability of fruit based products in China and enhanced health consciousness.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strength will contribute our future growth:

  • High-end niche products. In our market, we position our products as high-end premium products due to a high nutrient content.

1


  • Solid market position and rapid growth. We believe that we are one of the largest processors of golden berries in China. In the past several fiscal years, our revenue has grown from $23.0 million in fiscal year 2007 to $72.9 million in fiscal year 2010. Our net income has grown from $7.6 million in fiscal year 2007 to $19.3 million in fiscal year 2010.

  • Established raw material procurement network. Our facilities are located close to major premium specialty fruit orchards in Northeastern China which allows us to have easy access to the supply of the source fruits, enjoy sourcing stability and maintain a competitive cost structure.

  • Emphasis on quality control and food safety. We have quality control and food safety management systems for all stages of our business from raw materials sourcing to production, packaging and storage to product transportation. We adhere to internal quality standards that we believe are stricter than the PRC national standards. Our processing facility possesses ISO9001 and HACCP series qualifications.

  • Extensive nationwide sales and distribution network. As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately 38 regional distributors in 17 provinces in China which allows us to sell our products to customers throughout China.

  • Experienced management team with a strong track record. Our management team has extensive operating experience and industry knowledge. Changjun Yu, our founder and chairman, has over 15 years of experience in the fruit based product industry. This extensive local industry experience is combined with international experience. Our chief financial officer Colman Cheng has over 14 years of auditing, accounting and financial management experience in international companies.

Our Strategy

As an established premium specialty fruit based product company in China, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on future industry growth in China. We are dedicated to providing healthy and high nutritional premium specialty fruit based products. We will implement the following strategic plans to take advantage of industry opportunities and our competitive strengths:

  • Increase production capacity. Our existing production lines have been running at close to full capacity in fiscal year 2010 even as market demand for our existing products grows. We are building our new fruit and vegetable powder production line with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons and plan to build another fruit and vegetable powder production line with an expected annual production capacity of 10,000 tons in Daqing and a new factory facility in Mu Dan Jiang with a new multi-purpose concentrate juice/pulp production line with an expected annual production capacity of 8,000 tons in 2011.

  • Further strengthen our raw materials procurement network. We believe that a reliable supply of principal raw materials is crucial to our future success. Hence, we intend to further strengthen our existing cooperative relationship with the two golden berry farm bases from which we procure golden berries and develop new relationship with other golden berry farm bases.

  • Further expand our distribution network to increase the prevalence of our products nationwide. Our current sales depend heavily on our regional distributors and their network. To support our rapid growth in sales, we plan to further expand our distribution network.

  • Continue to diversify our product portfolio to satisfy different customer preferences. We currently offer four series of products processed primarily from six types of source fruits, concentrate pulp and fresh golden berries. We constantly evaluate our products and seek to adapt to changing market conditions by updating our products to reflect new trends in consumer preferences.

Risk Factors

Our ability to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals and strategies is subject to numerous risks as discussed more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors,” including for example:

  • Our ability to acquire raw materials in sufficient quantity and on commercially competitive terms, and at quality levels meeting our stringent standards;

  • Our dependence on consumer perception of safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by other companies in our industry;

  • Our ability to expand our operations and production capacities sufficiently to meet our customers’ demands;

  • Our ability to effectively manage rapid growth and accurately project market demand for our products; and

  • Unexpected change in China’s political or economic situation or legal environment.

Any of the above risks could materially and negatively affect our business, financial position and results of operations. An investment in our TDR and common stock involves risks. You should read and consider the information set forth in “Risk Factors” and all other information set forth in this prospectus before investing in our TDR and common stock.

RISK FACTORS

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

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

The recent financial crisis could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

While the financial crisis has stabilized in China, the global economy remains precarious and faces many challenges, which affect our business in a variety of ways. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, these economic conditions also impact levels of consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Consumer purchases of discretionary items generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. If demand for our products fluctuates as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our revenue and gross margin could be harmed.

Any ill effects, product liability claims, recalls, adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular fruits we use as raw materials, our products or our industry in general could harm our sales and cause consumers to avoid our products.

The food industry is subject to risks posed by food spoilage and contamination, product tampering, product recall, and consumer product liability claims. Our operations could be impacted by both genuine and fictitious claims regarding our and our competitors’ products. In the event of product contamination or tampering, we may need to recall some of our products. A widespread product recall could result in significant loss due to the cost of conducting a product recall including destruction of inventory and the loss of sales resulting from the unavailability of the product for a period of time.

In addition, any adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular fruits we use as raw materials, our products, our actions relating to our products, or our industry in general could result in a substantial drop in demand for our products. This negative public perception may include publicity regarding the safety or quality of particular fruits we use as raw materials or products in general, of other companies or of our products specifically. Negative public perception may also arise from regulatory investigations or product liability claims, regardless of whether those investigations involve us or whether any product liability claim is successful against us. We could also suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against us. Either a significant product recall or a product liability judgment, involving either our company or our competitors, could also result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products or the food category, and an actual or perceived loss of value of our brands, materially impacting consumer demand.

Any fluctuations in raw material supply and prices may negatively impact our revenue.

A secure supply of principal raw materials is crucial to our operation. Fresh fruits accounted for approximately 74% of our cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. The per unit costs of producing our products are subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, especially fresh fruits which are affected by factors such as weather, growing condition and pest that are beyond our control. According to the BBIC Report, approximately 20-30% of fruit grown in China is lost. Historically, we have been able to meet our fresh fruit supply needs by building our processing facilities in close proximity to orchards and by collaborating with local government and establishing an effective group of vendors. Increases in the price of fresh fruits would negatively impact our gross margins if we are not able to offset such price increases through increases in our selling price or changes in our product mix.

9


If we cannot maintain a consistent and cost-effective supply of source fruits, our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects will deteriorate.

The availability, size, quality and cost of source fruits for the production of our products are subject to operational risks inherent to farming, such as crop size, quality, and yield fluctuation caused by poor weather and growing conditions, pest and disease problems, and other factors beyond our control. These and other operational risks could cause significant fluctuations in the availability and cost of the source fruits we use as raw materials. The prices of our fresh source fruits and other raw materials are generally determined by the market, and may change at any time. Increases in prices for any of these raw materials could have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve profitability.

Currently, we source our fresh golden berries primarily from two fruit farms pursuant to cooperation agreements with local governments and other fruits from agents who procure fruit for us from individual farmers. While we believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials and that we in general maintain good supplier relationships, if we are unable to continue to find adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us, it will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, and unless we are able to establish and maintain brand name recognition our sales may be negatively impacted.

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brand by our targeted consumers. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and consumers of our brand. Although we believe that we have made progress towards establishing market recognition for our brand “农珍之冠” in the Chinese fruit products industry, it is too early in the product life cycle of the brand to determine whether our products and brand will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers.

We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences, so our inability to continue developing new products to satisfy our consumers’ changing preferences would have a material adverse effect on our sales volumes.

Our products are processed from premium specialty fruits and sell at a high price. A decline in the consumption of our products could occur as a result of a change in consumer preferences, perceptions and spending habits at any time. Future success will depend partly on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes and to offer, on a timely basis, new products that meet consumer preferences. Our failure to adapt our product offering to respond to such changes may result in reduced demand and lower prices for our products, resulting in a material adverse effect on our sales volumes, sales and profits.

Our current market distribution and penetration is limited as compared with the potential market and so our initial views as to customer acceptance of a particular product can be erroneous, and there can be no assurance that true market acceptance will ultimately be achieved. In addition, customer preferences are also affected by factors other than taste. If we do not adjust to respond to these and other changes in customer preferences, our sales may be adversely affected.

10


We rely primarily on third-party distributors, which could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.

We do not sell our products directly to end customers. Instead, we rely on third-party distributors for the sale and distribution of our products. As of September 30, 2010, this network comprised approximately 38 distributors. We typically do not enter into long-term agreements with distributors and have no control over their everyday business activities. To the extent that our distributors are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Some of these factors include: (i) the level of demand for our brand and products in a particular distribution area; (ii) our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those offered by competing products and (iii) our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Furthermore, shortage of adequate working capital may make it impossible for us to do so. Our inability to achieve any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our distributors in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain and expand our market, which will likely adversely effect our revenues and financial results.

We generally do not have long-term agreements with our distributors, and we may need to spend significant time and incur significant expense in attracting and maintaining key distributors.

Our marketing and sales strategy presently, and in the future, will rely on the performance of our independent distributors and our ability to attract additional distributors. We generally have one-year written agreements with our distributors which are renewable at the beginning of every year. In addition, despite the terms of the written agreements with certain of our significant distributors, we have no assurance as to the level of performance under those agreements, or that those agreements will not be terminated. There is also no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current distribution relationships or establish and maintain successful relationships with distributors in new geographic distribution areas. Moreover, there is the additional possibility that we will have to incur significant expenses to attract and maintain key distributors in one or more of our geographic distribution areas in order to profitably exploit our geographic markets. We may not have sufficient working capital to allow us to do so.

Failure to execute our business expansion plan could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are currently building a new fruit and vegetable powder facility which is expected to start production in early 2011. We also plan to build another fruit and vegetable powder production line with an expected annual production capacity of 10,000 tons in Daqing and a new factory facility in Mu Dan Jiang with a new multi-purpose concentrate juice/pulp production line with an expected annual production capacity of 8,000 tons. Our decision to increase our production capacity was based in part on our projections of increases in our sales volume and growth in the size of the premium specialty fruit and vegetable based product market in China. If actual customer demand does not meet our projections, we will likely suffer overcapacity problems and may have to leave capacity idle, which may reduce our overall profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our future success depends on our ability to expand our business to address growth in demand for our current and future products. Our ability to add production capacity and increase output is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including:

  • the unavailability of additional funding to expand our production capacity, purchase additional fixed assets and purchase raw materials on favorable terms or at all;

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

11


  • failure to maintain high quality control standards;

  • shortage of source fruits;

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

  • diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and

  • failure to execute our expansion plan effectively.

As our business grows, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting functions, and improvements to our record keeping and contract tracking system. We will need to respond to competitive market conditions and continue to enhance existing products and develop new products, and retain existing customers and attract new customers. We will also need to recruit more personnel and train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, we will need to maintain and expand our relationships with our current and future customers, suppliers, distributors and other third parties, and there is no guarantee that we will succeed.

If we encounter any of the risks described above, or are otherwise unable to establish or successfully operate additional production capacity or to increase production output, we may be unable to grow our business and revenues, reduce our operating costs, maintain our competitiveness or improve our profitability, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Because we experience seasonal fluctuations in our sales, our quarterly results will fluctuate and our annual performance will depend largely on results from three quarters.

Our business is highly seasonal in production, reflecting the harvest season of our primary source fruits during the months from mid-July to mid-November. Typically, a substantial portion of our revenues are earned during our second, third and forth fiscal quarters. We generally experience lowest revenues during our first fiscal quarter. Sales in the second, third and forth fiscal quarters accounted for approximately 26.5%, 24.4% and 36.2% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, respectively. If sales in these quarters are lower than expected, our operating results would be adversely affected, and it would have a disproportionately large impact on our annual operating results.

Due to our rapid growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance and evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.

Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years as demonstrated by our growth in net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 to $72.9 million from $56.4 million during the prior fiscal year and $32.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $28.7 million for the same period in 2009. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Moreover, our ability to achieve satisfactory production results at higher volumes is unproven. Therefore, you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

12


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

 Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Changjun Yu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Colman Cheng, our Chief Financial Officer. None of these key management members currently owns any shares of common stock or any other equity interest in the Company. Although they have signed employment agreements with our subsidiary Fezdale which include a non-competition provision which prohibits them from engaging in the food processing industry during the term of the agreement and for two years after the termination of employment, such employment agreements can be terminated at will. If we lose any of these key employees and are unable to find a qualified replacement in a timely manner, our business will be negative impacted. In addition, if a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete the institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the reclamation, technical, and marketing aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

The concentration of ownership of our securities by our controlling stockholders who do not participate in the management of our business can result in stockholder votes that are not in our best interests or the best interests of our minority stockholders.

Mr. Yiu Fai Kung and Mr. Kwan Mo Ng, collectively own approximately 79% of our outstanding voting securities, giving them controlling interest in the Company. However, neither Mr. Kung nor Mr. Ng is an executive officer or director of the Company and is not a participant in any way in the day to day affairs of the Company. Mr. Kung and Mr. Ng may have little or no knowledge of the details of the Company’s operations and do not participate in the corporate governance of the Company. In addition, this concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares.

Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brands and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We produce, market and sell our products under “农珍之冠.” We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets (including our flavor concentrate trade secrets) or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required to defend against such claims. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse affect on our ability to market or sell our brands, and profitably exploit our products.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or “SOX 404”, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. As a smaller reporting company, we are currently exempt from the auditor attestation requirements. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. There can be no positive assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors, when required. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

13


We have limited insurance coverage and do not carry any business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or insurance that covers the risk of loss of our products in shipment.

Operation of our facilities involves many risks, including equipment failures, natural disasters, industrial accidents, power outages, labor disturbances and other business interruptions. Furthermore, if any of our products are faulty, then we may become subject to product liability claims or we may have to engage in a product recall. We do not carry any business interruption insurance, product recall or third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or with respect to our products to cover claims pertaining to personal injury or property or environmental damage arising from defects in our products, product recalls, accidents on our property or damage relating to our operations. Therefore, our existing insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks associated with our business. As a result, we may be required to pay for financial and other losses, damages and liabilities, including those caused by natural disasters and other events beyond our control, out of our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and we make most of our sales in China. PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.

We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

14


  • a higher level of government involvement;

  • a early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;

  • a rapid growth rate;

  • a higher level of control over foreign exchange; and

  • the allocation of resources.

As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.

Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources, controlling the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways.

Any adverse change in economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

PRC food hygiene and safety laws may become more onerous, which may adversely affect our operations and financial performance and lead to an increase in our costs which we may be unable to pass on to our customers.

Operators within the PRC fruit processing industry are subject to compliance with PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations require all enterprises engaged in the production of fruit based products to obtain a hygiene license. They also set out hygiene standards with respect to food and food additives, packaging and containers, labeling on packaging as well as hygiene requirements for food production and sites, facilities and equipment used for the transportation and the sale of food. Failure to comply with PRC food hygiene and safety laws may result in fines, suspension of operations, loss of hygiene license and, in certain cases, criminal proceedings against an enterprise and its management. Although we are in compliance with current PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations, in the event that such laws and regulations become more stringent or widen in scope, we may fail to comply with such laws, or if we comply, our production and distribution costs may increase, and we may be unable to pass these additional costs on to our customers.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiary in the PRC. Our operating subsidiary is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, all of our executive officers and most of our directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations and subsidiary.

15


You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

We are a Nevada holding company and most of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Grandall Legal Group, our counsel as to PRC law, has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or the public interest. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

If we are found to have failed to comply with applicable laws, we may incur additional expenditures or be subject to significant fines and penalties.

Our operations are subject to PRC laws and regulations applicable to us. However, many PRC laws and regulations are uncertain in their scope, and the implementation of such laws and regulations in different localities could have significant differences. In certain instances, local implementation rules and/or the actual implementation are not necessarily consistent with the regulations at the national level. Although we strive to comply with all the applicable PRC laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities will not later determine that we have not been in compliance with certain laws or regulations.

In addition, our facilities and products are subject to many laws and regulations administered by the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the PRC State Administration of Taxation, the PRC Ministry of Health and Hygiene Permitting Office, the PRC General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and the PRC State Food and Drug Administration Bureau relating to the processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, labeling, quality, and safety of food products. Our failure to comply with these and other applicable laws and regulations in China could subject us to administrative penalties and injunctive relief, as well as civil remedies, including fines, injunctions and recalls of our products. It is possible that changes to such laws or more rigorous enforcement of such laws or with respect to our current or past practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, additional environmental, health or safety issues relating to matters that are not currently known to management may result in unanticipated liabilities and expenditures.

16


The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 5.9% and as low as -0.8%. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively.

All our sales revenue and expenses are denominated in RMB. Under PRC law, the RMB is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Currently, our PRC operating subsidiary may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payments of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future. Since a significant amount of our future revenue will be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign exchange transactions by our PRC operating subsidiary under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of or need to register with PRC government authorities, including SAFE. In particular, if our PRC operating subsidiary borrows foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with SAFE, and if we finance the subsidiary by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities, including the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or their respective local counterparts. These limitations could affect their ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.

17


Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars, as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiary’s ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.

Substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiary. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by our PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

Our ability to conduct foreign-exchange activities in the PRC is subject to uncertainties surrounding the interpretation of SAFE regulations, one of which is Circular 75. Under the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China (as amended and supplemented, “Circular 75”), PRC residents must register with a local branch of SAFE (1) before they establish or gain control of an overseas special purpose vehicle, or SPV, for the purpose of overseas equity financing (including convertible debt financing); (2) when they contribute their assets or equity interests in a domestic enterprise to an SPV or engage in overseas financing after contributing assets or equity interests to an SPV; and (3) when their SPV undergoes a material change outside of China, such as a change in share capital or merger or acquisition. If any PRC resident who holds stock in an SPV fails to make the required SAFE registration and make any amended registration, the onshore PRC subsidiaries of that offshore company may be prohibited from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the offshore SPV. Failure to comply with the SAFE registration and amendment registration requirements described above could result in liability for evading PRC laws applicable to foreign exchange restrictions.

18


We have advised our shareholders who are PRC residents, as defined in Circular 75, to register with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with, all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident shareholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

The M&A Rule establishes more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the “M&A Rule”, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and was amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction and in some situations, require approval of MOFCOM when a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we do not have any plans to do so at this time. The M&A Rule also requires MOFCOM antitrust review of any change-of-control transactions involving certain types of foreign acquirers. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

We face uncertainty from the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Share Transfer (“Circular 698”) released in December 2009 by China's State Administration of Taxation (SAT), effective as of January 1, 2008.

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country (jurisdiction) where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor must provide the PRC tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfer.

19


Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through the “abuse of form of organization” and there are no reasonable commercial purposes for such form with the result that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the PRC tax authorities shall have the power to reassess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with the “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of an offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes.

“Income derived from equity transfers” as mentioned in this circular refers to income derived by nonresident enterprises from direct or indirect transfers of equity interest in China resident enterprises, excluding shares in Chinese resident enterprises that are bought and sold openly on the stock exchange.

While the term "indirectly transfer" is not defined, we understand that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign entities having no direct contact with China. The relevant PRC tax authorities have not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the offshore country (jurisdiction) and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the PRC tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. Meanwhile, there are not any formal declarations with regard to how to decide “abuse of form of organization” and “reasonable commercial purpose,” which can be utilized by us to determine if our company complies with the Circular 698.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC stockholders. However, detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are still unavailable. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

We may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent reasonably possible.

20


If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR TDRS AND THIS OFFERING

An active trading market for our TDRs may fail to develop or be sustained, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of our TDRs.

Prior to this public offering, there has been no public market for our TDRs. We intend to apply to list our TDRs on the TSE. If so listed, our TDRs will not be traded in any public market other than the TSE. Under the “Operating Rules of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation”, the TSE may terminate the listing of TDRs upon approval from relevant government authorities if the total number of outstanding TDRs is less than 10,000,000 units for three consecutive months, and no issuance of necessary additional TDRs is completed within three months after receipt of notice from the TSE. Liquidity of our TDRs may significantly decrease if a large amount of TDRs are converted into common stock. In such case, if no additional TDRs are issued, listing of our TDRs may be terminated. We cannot provide any guaranty for the liquidity and sustainability of our TDR market, TDR holders’ ability to sell our TDRs and the prices at which our TDRs may be sold.

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE Amex. The public offering price for our TDRs will be set with reference to the prevailing market price of our common stock on the NYSE Amex at the time of pricing, taking into account of many other factors, such as market demand, our operating results and exchange rate. We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market for our TDRs will develop or how liquid that market may become. If an active trading market for our TDRs does not develop or is not sustained after this offering, the market price and liquidity of our TDRs may be materially and adversely affected.

The market price of our common stock is volatile and the market price of our TDRs is likely to be volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock is volatile, and this volatility may continue and affect the price of the TDRs. The market prices for our TDRs is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock and/or TDRs to fluctuate significantly. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock and/or TDRs may be highly volatile for specific business reasons. Factors such as variations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow, announcements of new investments, cooperation arrangements or acquisitions, and fluctuations in market prices for our products could cause the market price for our shares to change substantially.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, the trading market for our common stock and TDRs will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our securities, the market price for our securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price for our securities or trading volume to decline.

21


Furthermore, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our securities and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

New Taiwan dollar-U.S. dollar fluctuations could cause the market price of the TDRs to decline and reduce dividend amounts payable to TDR holders as expressed in U.S. dollars.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the new Taiwan dollar and the U.S. dollar will affect the new Taiwan dollar equivalent of the U.S. dollar price of the shares of common stock on the NYSE Amex and, as a result, are likely to affect the market price of the TDRs. Because cash dividends on the shares of common stock represented by the TDRs will be converted by the depositary from U.S. dollars into new Taiwan dollar, exchange rate fluctuations will also affect the dividend amounts payable to TDR holders.

You may not be able to exercise your right to vote.

As a holder of TDRs, you may only exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying common stock in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under the deposit agreement, you must vote by giving voting instructions to the depositary. Upon receipt of your voting instructions, the depositary will vote the underlying common stock in accordance with your instructions. Otherwise, you will not be able to exercise your right to vote unless you withdraw the shares. Under our Articles of Incorporation, the minimum notice period required for convening shareholders’ meetings is ten days. When a shareholders’ meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient advance notice to withdraw the shares to allow you to vote with respect to any specific matter. If we ask for your instructions, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your common stock. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and the shares of Common Stock underlying your TDRs may not be voted as you requested.

You may be subject to limitations on transfer of your TDRs.

Your TDRs represented by the TDRs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of TDRs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary thinks it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency determines that CSRC approval is required in connection with this offering or our reverse acquisition of Fezdale or challenges the delayed payment of acquisition consideration by Solar Sun Holdings Limited, this offering may be delayed or cancelled, the reverse acquisition may be unwound, or we may become subject to penalties.

The M&A Rule, among other things, requires that an offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals that have acquired a PRC domestic company for the purpose of listing the PRC domestic company’s equity interest on an overseas stock exchange must obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such offshore company’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. In addition, when an offshore company acquires a PRC domestic company, the offshore company is generally required to pay the acquisition consideration within three months after the issuance of the foreign-invested company license unless certain ratification from the relevant PRC regulatory agency is obtained. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC, pursuant to the M&A Rule, published on its official web site procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by offshore companies seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings.

22


It is not clear how the provisions in the regulation regarding the offshore listing and trading of the securities of a special purpose vehicle apply to us. We believe, based on the interpretation of the regulation and the practice experience of our Chinese legal counsel, Grandall Legal Group, that CSRC approval is not required for this offering or our reverse acquisition of Fezdale. Our PRC counsel, Grandall Legal Group, is also in the opinion that, even though Solar Sun Holding Limited, or Solar Sun, did not pay the consideration for acquiring 75% interest in Longheda within three months after the issuance of the foreign-invested company license, since the relevant provincial agency has issued document indicating the authority’s awareness of such delayed payment and Solar Sun has obtained the approval from local foreign exchange administrative department for the remittance of such payment into the PRC and made such payment, based on its experience, in practice, the chance that such delayed payment being challenged by PRC regulatory agencies is minimal. If the CSRC or another PRC governmental agency subsequently determines that we must obtain CSRC approval prior to this offering, the completion of the reverse acquisition or challenges the delayed payment by Solar Sun, the reverse acquisition may be unwound and we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of our net proceeds from this offering into China, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities, including the TDRs. The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel this offering before settlement and delivery of the TDRs being offered by us.

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our securities.

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Except as described under the heading “Underwriting” below, we are not restricted from issuing additional securities, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or TDR. We have outstanding warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock issued in connection with our previous private placement transactions. Our warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock also include anti-dilution provisions which may be triggered if the offering price of this offering is lower than the applicable exercise price or conversion price. The exercise of such warrants, conversion of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, issuance of any additional TDRs, shares of common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive common stock or the exercise of such securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our securities. Holders of shares of our common stock have no and holders of our TDRs will not have any preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series. The market price of our securities could decline as a result of sales of TDRs made after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our shareholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our securities and diluting their interests in us.

23


The market price of our stock may be affected by low volume.

Our common stock has a relatively low average daily volume. The average daily trading volume for the three months before December 15, 2010 was approximately 8,800 shares. Without a significantly larger average trading volume, our common stock will be less liquid than the common stock of companies with higher trading volume, as a result, the trading prices for our common stock may be more volatile. It is not certain whether an active trading market will develop for our TDRs.

We may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.

We have considerable discretion in the application of these proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used in a manner agreeable to you. You must rely on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase the price of our securities. The net proceeds may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Longheda which is a leading producer of premium specialty fruit-based products in China. We develop, process, market and distribute a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, including olden berry, crab apple, blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn. Our current products include fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits, concentrate pulp as well as fresh fruits.

We sell our products through an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network covering 17 provinces in China. As of September 30, 2010, this network was comprised of approximately 38 distributors. Our processed fruit products are mainly sold to food producers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related foods, and our fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets.

Our manufacturing facility is located in Daqing City and Mu Dan Jiang City, Heilongjiang Province, China where abundant supply of various premium specialty fruits is readily available. We have five fruit processing lines with an aggregate capacity of 17,160 tons.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

  • Growth of China’s fruit processing industry. BBIC projects that the total sales and net income of processed fruit products in China will reach $37.2 billion and $2.5 billion in 2010, representing growth of 42.52% and 66.67%, respectively, since 2007. We believe that the recent growth in processed fruit product consumption in China is largely attributable the increased affordability of processed fruit products and increased health and wellness consciousness in China. We expect these factors to continue to drive industry growth, especially in our primary markets – premium specialty processed fruit products. Such growth will not only increase the overall market size for processed fruit products, but will also benefit companies that are well positioned to sell in these markets.

  • Product Offering and Pricing. Processed fruit products including fruit concentrate, glazed fruit and nectar have been, and are expected to remain, our primary product offering. Our processed fruit products accounted for approximately 75.3% and 79.9% of our total net sales for fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The gross margin for our processed fruit products was approximately 49.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 32.2% for our beverage and other products. We plan to continue to focus on our higher margin processed fruit products in the future. Because we have a strong bargaining power on golden berry products, we generally closely tie the pricing of gold berry products to the raw material prices to ensure stable profit margin. We price our other products with reference to the prevailing market price.

  • Fluctuations in Raw Material Supply and Prices. The per unit cost of producing our products is subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, especially fresh fruits which are affected by factors such as weather, growing condition and pests that are beyond our control. Fresh fruits accounted for approximately 74% of our total cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. Historically, we have been able to meet our fresh fruit supply needs by building our processing facilities in close proximity to orchards and by collaborating with local government and establishing an effective group of vendors. Increases in the price of fresh fruits would negatively impact our gross margins if we are not able to offset such price increases through increases in our selling price or change in product mix.

30


  • PRC Government Policy Promoting the Development of the Fruit Processing Industry. In the PRC central government’s eleventh five-year guideline, the central government emphasized its determination to solve the problems of farmers, boost modern agriculture and increase rural affluence. After the onset of the economic crisis in late 2008, the Ministry of Agriculture also stated its objective to promote the fruit processing and fruit commercialization. We believe that our business model is structured within the framework of these Ministry of Agriculture initiatives and that government policies will continue to have a positive impact on the sale of our products.

  • Expansion of our production capacity. We believe expansion of our capacity is needed to satisfy increased demand for our products. The average utilization rate for our five fruit processing production lines was approximately 94.7% in fiscal year 2010. In order to increase our production capacity, we plan to make capital investment to build additional production lines to satisfy the projected demand of our products.

Our functional currency is RMB, however, our financial information is expressed in USD. The results of operations reported in the table above is based on the exchange rate of RMB6.84 to $1 and RMB6.88 to $1 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the rate of RMB6.843 to $1 and RMB6.84051 to $1 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009

Net Sales

Net sales consist of revenue from the sale of our fruit and fruit based products. Net sales increased $4.1 million, or 14.4%, to $32.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $28.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to increased sales volume of glazed fruit and concentrate juice products due to market demand. With the new glazed fruit production line and the upgrade of the concentrate juice production line, the sales of glazed fruit and concentration juice grew from $4.8 million and $11.7 million in the six months ended September 30, 2009 to $5.6 million and $17.5 million in the six months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in sales of glazed fruit was due to increased sales of our new seabuckthorn and blackcurrant glazed fruit products which were launched in July this year. The increase in sales of concentrate juice products was mainly due to the increase of sales price of crab apple and raspberry concentrate juice. In addition, our new launched seabuckthorn and blackcurrant concentrate juice products contributed approximately $0.7 million. Sales of nectar and concentrate pulp slightly decreased. The following table sets forth percentage of net sales generated by each product for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor, overhead and sales tax. Cost of sales increased $2.7 million, or 17.9%, to $17.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $15.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 54.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 52.5% for the same period last year. The dollar increase was mainly due to increased sales volume and higher labor cost.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to net sales less cost of sales. Gross profit increased by $1.4 million to $15.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $13.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 45.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 47.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was mainly because we sold more lower margin concentrate juice products in the six months ended September 30, 2010 and we launched our new seabuckthorn and blackcurrant glazed fruit products in July 2010. As part of our marketing strategy, we offered our new seabuckthorn and blackcurrant glazed fruit products at attractive prices to our customers to test the market which resulted in relatively lower margins than our existing glazed fruit products. We will continue to monitor the market demand for these new products and may increase our sales price to improve gross margin in the future when market condition permits. In addition, we ceased beverage production in March 2010, as a result, the portion of the factory overhead costs previously applied to the beverage production line was allocated to other production lines in this production season. Furthermore, we increased workers’ salary in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The gross margins for glazed fruit, nectar, concentrate juice and concentrate pulp products for the six months period ended September 30, 2010 were 52.1%, 68.3%, 43.0% and 30.8%, as compared to 63.7%, 67.8%, 42.7% and 36.1% for the same period last year, respectively.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased $58,662, or 1.9%, to $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel and other sales related costs. Selling expenses decreased $240,162, or 16.0%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased 1.4% from 5.2% for six months ended September 30, 2009 to 3.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2010. Due to well established relationships with our existing customers, we received repeat orders with higher volume from our existing clients, which led to lower sales related expenses in the first half of fiscal year 2011. In addition, we incurred less selling expenses due to the cessation of production and sale of beverage products in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

General and administrative expenses include the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, depreciation charge for fixed assets, including idle production line, and professional fees paid to third parties. Our general and administrative expenses increased $181,500, or 12.0%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by 0.1% to 5.2%, as compared to 5.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in staff salary and benefit, and depreciation expenses incurred in connection with our new glazed fruit production line launched in December 2009.

Income before Noncontrolling Interests and Income Taxes

Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes increased $1.5 million, or 14.2%, to $12.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $10.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes as a percentage of net sales remained stable at 37.1%.

33


Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $416,582, or 15.0%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $2.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the provision for income taxes is mainly attributed to the increase in net income before income taxes.

We file separate tax returns in the United States and China. Income taxes of our PRC subsidiary are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. For China Nutrifruit Group Limited, applicable U.S. tax laws are followed. The applicable tax rate for our PRC operating subsidiary Longheda is 25% in calendar year 2010.

Net Income

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 13.9%, to $9.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 from $7.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009, mainly as a result of the increase in sales revenue as discuss above.

Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009

Net Sales

Net sales increased $16.5 million, or 29.2%, to $72.9 million in fiscal year 2010 from $56.4 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased sales volume of our products, especially our glazed fruit, concentrated juice and concentrated pulp products. Sales of glazed fruit grew significantly from $6.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to $16.6 million in fiscal year 2010, sales of concentrate juice and concentrate pulp grew from $28.9 million to $34.7 million and from $6.9 million to $9.4 million during those periods, respectively. Market demand for our products was strong in the fiscal year 2010, due, in part, to the Chinese government’s economic stimulus program, growth in a health conscious urban population and a rise in per capita disposable income in China. We launched new glazed blueberry products in September 2009, which were well received by our customers and our new glazed fruit production line started production in December 2009, both of which increased our glazed fruit production and sales in fiscal year 2010.

The following table sets forth percentage of net sales generated by each product for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

(All amounts, other than percentages, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $7.9 million, or 24.8%, to $39.7 million in fiscal year 2010 from $31.8 million in fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to, and consistent with, the increase in our sales volume. In fiscal year 2010, we sold a higher percentage of glazed fruit products, which generally have a lower per unit cost as compared to fruit concentrate juice and concentrated pulp products. Therefore, the overall percentage increase in cost of sales is lower than the overall percentage increase in sales.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased $8.6 million to $33.3 million in fiscal year 2010 from $24.6 million in fiscal year 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 45.6% and 43.7% for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The modest increase in gross margin was mainly due to the change in product mix. In fiscal year 2010, a bigger percentage of our net sales were generated from sales of higher margin, glazed fruit products.

The gross margins for fruit concentrate, glazed fruit, nectar and concentrate pulp products for fiscal year 2010 were 43.4%, 52.6%, 68.3% and 31.8%, as compared to 36.0%, 64.9%, 69.0% and 37.9% for the same period last year, respectively. We were able to increase the gross margin for fruit concentrate products during the 2010 fiscal year because the average sales price of raspberry concentrate products increased approximately 100% as compared to last fiscal year. The gross margin for glazed fruit dropped in fiscal year 2010 because we used frozen fresh fruit to process glazed golden berries and glazed blueberries during the non-harvest season. The cost of frozen fresh fruit is usually higher than fresh fruit. We used frozen fresh fruit during the non-harvest season in order to maximize the utilization rate of our glazed fruit production line and increase sales volume. The gross margin for concentrate pulp products decreased in fiscal year 2010, mainly because sales price for apple concentrate pulp in the international market decreased significantly during the 2010 fiscal year as compared to last fiscal year due to the general economic climate. However, the price of apple, the main raw material for apple concentrate pulp, in the international market was stable, increased moderately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling and general and administrative expenses decreased $7.8 million, or 50.9%, to $7.5 million in fiscal year 2010 from $15.3 million in fiscal year 2009 mainly due to the decrease of general and administration expenses as discussed below.

Selling expenses increased $617,355, or 21.1%, to $3.5 million in fiscal year 2010 from $2.9 million in fiscal year 2009. As a percentage of net sales, our selling expenses slightly decreased to 4.9% in fiscal year 2010 from 5.2% in fiscal year 2009. The increase in our selling expenses was generally in line with the increase in sales volume.

General and administrative expenses decreased $8.4 million, or 68.0%, to $4.0 million in fiscal year 2010 from $12.4 million in fiscal year 2009. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.5% in fiscal year 2010, as compared to 22.0% in fiscal year 2009. The dollar and percentage decrease was mainly attributable to a $9.5 million non-cash compensation expense resulting from the release of certain escrow shares to our shareholder Yiu Fai Kung as discussed below.

In connection with our private placement closed on August 14, 2008, we entered into two make good escrow agreements, under which a total of 5,599,598 shares of our common stock held by Yiu Fai Kung, our major shareholder, were placed in escrow. For each of 2009 and 2010, 2,799,799 shares will be transferred to investors and other parties or returned to Mr. Kung, depending on whether the specified earnings targets were achieved. The specified earnings targets for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 were net income of $13,919,707 and $18,495,315, respectively. We met the fiscal year 2009 earnings target and recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 related to the release from escrow to Mr. Kung of 2,799,799 shares because Mr. Kung was a director of Fezdale. Although we met the fiscal year 2010 earnings target, because Mr. Kung resigned from his position as Fezdale’s director in July 2009 and the release of the escrowed shares was not contingent on his continuing employment with the Company, in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10-S99-2 2010, we did not recognize any compensation expense relating to the release of make good shares for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

35


Other than the non-cash compensation expenses incurred in fiscal year 2009 in connection with the make good arrangement, our general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 37.6% in fiscal year 2010. As a percentage of net sales, our general and administrative expenses increased slightly from 5.1% for fiscal year 2009 to 5.5% for fiscal year 2010. The modest increase was mainly attributable to costs associated with the transfer from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board to the NYSE AMEX in August 2009.

Interest Expenses

We did not have any interest expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 because we repaid all outstanding bank loans on March 26, 2009.

Income before Noncontrolling Interests and Income Taxes

Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes increased $17.2 million, or 194.8%, to $26.1 million in fiscal year 2010 from $8.9 million in fiscal year 2009. Income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes as a percentage of net sales increased from 15.7% in fiscal year 2009 to 35.8% in fiscal year 2010. The percentage increase was primarily attributed to the increase in sales volume and gross margin and decrease in general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes was $6.9 million and $4.1 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was mainly due to increase in net income before income tax. As a percentage of net sales, provision for income taxes increased from 7.3% for the 2009 fiscal year to 9.4% for the 2010 fiscal year. We had a lower percentage of provision for income tax to net sales for fiscal year 2009 mainly because of the deferred tax of $0.5 million arising from the temporary difference recognized from the 25% of equity interest of Longheda acquired by Solar Sun in May 2008.

We file separate tax returns in the United States and China. Income taxes of our PRC subsidiary are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. For China Nutrifruit Group Limited, applicable U.S. tax laws are followed. The applicable tax rate for Longheda is 25%.

Substantially all of our income was derived from dividends we receive from our PRC operating subsidiary. The EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. We expect that such 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiary, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “RISK FACTORS—Risks Related to Doing Business in China— Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a ‘resident enterprise’ of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.”

Net Income

Net income increased $14.8 million, or 326.1%, to $19.3 million in 2010 from $4.5 million in 2009. Other than the non-cash compensation charge of $9.5 million in fiscal year 2009 due to the make good arrangement, our net income increased $5.3 million, or 37.1%, to $19.3 million in fiscal year 2010 from $14.0 million in fiscal year 2009. The increase was mainly a result of the increase in sales revenue as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.2 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this prospectus.

    Six Months Ended     Fiscal Year Ended

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period   7,154     15,465     35,994     4,769  

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $20.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $162,199 used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly attributable to approximately $9.8 million in advance payment for the construction of the fruit and vegetable powder factory and production line and a $13.3 million increase in inventories. The significant increase in inventories was mainly because our new production season started in July and we manufactured more products in this fiscal quarter as compared to the same period last year in anticipation of the increased market demand.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.7 million in fiscal year 2010, an increase of $15.4 million, or 243.9% from $6.3 million net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2010 fiscal year was mainly attributable to the net earning of $19.3 million.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, we used approximately $4.3 million in the upgrade of concentrate juice production lines in our Daqing and Mudanjiang facilities and approximately $5.1 million in the construction of the new fruit and vegetable powder factory. We had no investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million in fiscal year 2010, as compared to $20.0 million in fiscal year 2009. Our cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2010 was primarily for the purchase of a new glazed fruit production line in December 2009 for approximately $2.7 million which was partially offset by the proceeds from disposal of the beverage production line of approximately $1.0 million. Our cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2009 primarily related to our acquisition of the 25% of minority interest in Longheda for $6.8 million and the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the new concentrated fruit juice production line in Mu Dan Jiang for $13 million.

37


Financing Activities.

In connection with our 2009 private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we set up an escrow account for the payment of dividends to holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock due on September 1, 2010, $809,550 of the escrow amount was paid as dividends to holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on September 1, 2010 and the remaining $122,080 was returned to us due to conversion of some shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock before the dividend payment date. The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was the net proceeds from our private placement of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock closed in September, 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.3 million in fiscal year 2010, as compared to $11.8 million in fiscal year 2009. During the 2010 fiscal year, the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the receipt of $12.2 million in net proceeds from a private placement financing transaction closed in October 2009. The net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2009 was primarily attributable to $7.3 million proceeds from a private placement financing, loans from shareholders of $7.4 million, and proceeds from bank borrowing of $7.3 million which was partially offset by the repayment of bank loans of $10.2 million.

On October 8, 2009, we completed a private placement and issued 403,418 units at a purchase price of $33.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $13,309,000. Each unit consists of one share of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of our common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at a per share price of $3.30 (subject to customary adjustments) and have a term of four years. The total net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $12.2 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $2.7 million and $13.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our capital expenditures were mainly used to expand our production capacity. Our most material capital expenditure for fiscal year 2010 was the purchase of a glazed fruit production line.

On February 23, 2010, we entered into a $1.17 million revolving credit facility with the Heilongjiang Rural Credit Union with a term of three years. This facility is secured by our land and buildings located in Daqing City. On February 25, 2010, we entered into another $1.59 million revolving credit facility with the Longjiang Bank with a term of two years. This facility was secured by our land and buildings in Mu Dan Jiang City. Both facilities are for the working capital need during our production season. As of the date of this prospectus, we did not draw down on either of the facilities and did not have any outstanding bank loan.

We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of our capital raising activities and credit facilities referred to above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months. We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Trade accounts receivable

In the normal course of business, we extend credit to customers. Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables, and their approximate fair value. On a regular basis, we evaluate our trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. No allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2010 (2009: nil) was recorded.

Inventories

The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect production costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use first-in, first-out methods to value its inventories. During the idle production period, overhead costs include depreciation are treated as current-period charges, which are expensed to general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal estimated useful lives generally are: buildings – 20 years; leasehold improvements – 10 years; machinery – 10 years; furniture, fixtures and office equipment – 5 years; motor vehicles – 5 years. During the idle period of the plant, depreciation is treated as current-period charges, which charge directly to general and administrative expense.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue from sales of products, where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when the customer receives the product or at the time title passes to the customer. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless damaged or defective. Net sales are comprised of gross sales reduced by customer returns, trade promotions and discounts.

39


Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, except indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period of time. Thus, all of our land located in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2055.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(a) Recent accounting pronouncement Adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard that established the FASB ASC and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). For the Company, the ASC was effective July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements were changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.

In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, which provides guidance about how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. ASC 820 apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued amendments which state that ASC 820 does not address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement and delay the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities and those items for which it has measured on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted ASC 820 for certain of its non-financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted ASC 805 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which established the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries codified within ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. Upon adoption of ASC 810 on April 1, 2009, the Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest from minority interest to equity in the accompanying March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, codified in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. The Company adopted ASC 815 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in ASC 820. The standard provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures. The Company adopted the standard during the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events codified in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 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 disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective for the Company’s first quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-05 (ASU 2010-05), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard codifies EITF Topic D-110 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.

(b) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. For the Company, this ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

41


In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under certain circumstances, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. The disclosure provisions of this ASU are not applicable to an employer’s disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. For the Company, this ASU was effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. For the Company, ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning April 1, 2011. The Company may elect to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Management believes other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC do not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

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

The harvest season for our source fruits is generally from mid July to mid November every year. As fruits collected cannot be stored at room temperature for a long time, they must be processed as soon as they are harvested. Our fruit processing production is generally busiest from mid-July to mid-November every year.

We will generally experience higher sales in the second, third and forth fiscal quarters mainly due to distributors’ (i) efforts to obtain adequate supply of our fruit processing products before the fruit supply diminishes after production ceases in November; and (ii) anticipation of higher demand for processed fruit products as a result of festive seasons, such as Middle Autumn festival, Christmas and the Chinese New Year which were in the second, third and forth quarter of our fiscal year.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY

We are a Nevada holding company and conduct substantially all of our business in China through our operating subsidiary, Longheda. We indirectly own all of the equity in Longheda as a result of our 100% ownership of Fezdale and Fezdale’s intermediate ownership of Solar Sun. Both Fezdale and Solar Sun are intermediate holding companies and have no other significant assets and operations. Longheda was incorporated in China in 2004. Subsequently, in a series of transactions between 2007 and 2008, Solar Sun acquired 100% ownership of Longheda. Jumbo Gloss is a private limited liability company that was established on October 13, 2009 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As of the date of this Report, Jumbo Gloss has no business operations.

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this prospectus.

We were originally incorporated in the State of Utah on April 22, 1983 under the name Portofino Investment, Inc. In January 1984, we changed our name to Fashion Tech International, Inc. In April 1999, our stockholders approved a merger with Fashion Tech International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to change the domicile of the Company from Utah to Nevada.

We were a developmental-stage company from inception to January 1, 1984, when we became the holding company of certain operating or development-stage subsidiaries. From April 1, 1985 to August 14, 2008, we re-entered development-stage status.

On August 14, 2008, we acquired Fezdale in a reverse acquisition transaction, which involved a financing transaction and a related share exchange transaction whereby all of our current business operations were acquired by Fezdale. In the share exchange transaction, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fezdale were exchanged for 30,166,878 shares of our common stock, thereby making the existing stockholders of Fezdale owners of 83.5% of our stock and also making Fezdale our wholly owned subsidiary. In the related financing transaction, we completed a private placement in which we sold 3,085,840 newly issued shares of our common stock for $8.58 million.

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

We are a holding company that operates through our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary Longheda, a leading producer of premium specialty fruit based products in China. We specialize in developing, processing, marketing and distributing a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, including golden berry, crab apple, blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn. Our primary product offering includes fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits, concentrate pulp as well as fresh fruits. We have been producing our premium specialty fruit based products since 2004.

44


We sell our products through a nationwide sales and distribution network covering 17 provinces in China. As of September 30, 2010, this network was comprised of approximately 38 distributors. Our processed fruit products are mainly sold to food producers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related foods, and our fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets.

Quality and safety are of primary importance to us. We have established quality control and food safety management systems for all stages of our business, including raw material sourcing, producing, packaging, storage and transportation of our products. We currently operate from our manufacturing facilities located in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang, Heilongjiang province, China where abundant supply of a variety of premium specialty fruits is available. We have five fruit processing lines with an aggregate capacity of 17,160 tons.

Our Industry

According to the BBIC Report, China’s fruit processing industry has grown significantly in the past several years. The total output of processed fruit products in China grew from $16.8 billion in 2005 to $49.7 billion in 2009, representing a CAGR of 31.15%. The sales value of processed fruit products in China grew from $17.0 billion in 2005 to $47.0 billion in 2009, representing a CAGR of 28.95%. The following table sets forth the output and CAGR of four categories of processed fruit products.

We anticipate that growth in China’s fruit processing industry, especially, the premium specialty fruit-based products, will mainly be driven by the following factors:

The low per capita rate of fruit consumption in China. With approximately a quarter of the world’s population, China represents a key growth driver for the global fruit food market. Even though China is the largest producer of apples, the third largest producer of oranges, and one of the top producers of pears and peaches in the world, per capita fruit juice consumption in China is currently well below that of major developed countries according to Euromonitor.

45


Growing affluence fosters increased consummation of processed fruit products. China’s economy has grown significantly in recent years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (the “NBS”), China’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) has increased from RMB12.0 trillion ($1.6 trillion) in 2002 to RMB33.5 trillion ($4.9 trillion) in 2007. According to a report issued by the World Bank in March 2010, it is estimated that China’s GDP will grow at an annual growth rate of 9.5% in 2010. China’s economic growth has resulted in a significant increase in household disposable income in China. According to the NBS, between 2002 and 2009, urban household disposable income per capita increased from RMB7,703 ($1,055) to RMB17,175 ($2,512), or a CAGR of 12.1%, and rural per capita cash income increased from RMB2,476 ($339) to RMB5,153 ($754), or a CAGR of 11.0%. We believe that as GDP and disposable income increase, processed fruit products will become more affordable and consumers will generally spend an increasing portion of their disposable income on healthy nutritional products, such as our premium specialty fruit-based products.

Greater health awareness is expected to affect consumption of fruit and processed fruit products. We believe that concern for improved living standards and growing household disposable income have led to greater health awareness among the population. As people become more affluent, we believe that their spending on quality health food and nutritional products, like our products, will increase. The juice beverage market in China continued growing steadily in 2009 as the growth in urban population and disposable income continued to drive demand for natural and healthy beverage products. According to the BBIC Report, the world fruit juice consumption is expected to increase from 33 billion liter in 1997 to 74 billion liter in 2020.

Government aims to promote the growth of China’s fruit processing industry. According to the BBIC Report, approximately 20-30% of fruit grown in China is lost, less than 50% of the total harvested fruit can be commercialized, and less than 10% of the total commercialized fruit is processed. We believe that the Chinese government will promote the development of the fruit and fruit processing industry, as evidenced by the “Development Program of Food Processing Industry 2006-2010” report issued by the PRC Ministry of Agriculture (“MOA”). The MOA aims to increase the fruit processing ratio to 10%-15% and the fruit commercialization ratio to above 60%, and to reduce the lost fruit ratio to 10%-15% by 2010. We believe the government’s five year plan will further facilitate the growth of the fruit processing industry in China.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively and to capitalize on the growth of the Chinese fruit product market:

  • High-end niche products. We process primarily specialty premium fruits. In our market, we position our products as high-end value added premium products due to their high nutrient concentration and health benefits.

  • Leading market position and rapid growth. We believe that we are one of the largest processors of golden berry in China. In the past several fiscal years, our revenue has grown from $23.0 million in fiscal year 2007 to $72.9 million in fiscal year 2010. Our net income has grown from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2007 to $19.3 million in fiscal year 2010.

  • Established raw material procurement network. Our facilities are located close to major premium specialty fruit orchards in Northeastern China which allows us to have easy access to the supply of the source fruits, enjoy sourcing stability and maintain a competitive cost structure. For example, we have entered into cooperative agreements with local government where major premium specialty fruit orchards are based to coordinate with individual farmers to supply us with golden berries. We have also secured the supply of other source fruits by developing a group of effective and loyal agents who collect source fruits from individual farmers. We believe these supply arrangements provide us with an important competitive advantage in terms of quality, stability and reliability of supply.

46


  • Emphasis on quality control and food safety. We have quality controls and food safety management systems for all stages of our business from raw materials sourcing to production, packaging and storage to product transportation. We adhere to internal quality standards that we believe are stricter than the PRC national standards. Our processing facility possesses ISO9001 and HACCP series qualifications.

  • Extensive nationwide sales and distribution network. As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately 38 regional distributors in 17 provinces in China which allows us to sell our products to customers throughout China. We plan to add five to ten new distributors and clients in the coming two to three years.

  • Experienced management team with a strong track record. Our management team has extensive operating experience and industry knowledge. Changjun Yu, our founder and chairman, has over 15 years of experience in the fruit based product industry. This extensive local industry experience is combined with international experience. For example, Colman Cheng, our chief financial officer, has over 14 years of auditing, accounting and financial management experience in international companies. We believe that our management team’s experience and capabilities have contributed greatly to our significant growth in the past several years.

Our Strategy

As a leading premium specialty fruit based product company in China, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on future industry growth in China. We are dedicated to providing healthy and high nutritional premium specialty fruit based products. We will implement the following strategic plans to take advantage of industry opportunities and our competitive strengths:

  • Increase production capacity. Our existing production lines have been running at close to full capacity even as market demand for our existing products grows. We are building our new fruit and vegetable powder manufacturing facility with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons which is expect to start operation in early 2011. We plan to build another fruit and vegetable power production line and a new factory facility in Mu Dan Jiang with a new multi-purpose concentration juice/pulp production line in 2011.

  • Further strengthen our raw materials procurement network. We believe that a secure supply of principal raw materials is crucial to our future success. Hence, we intend to further strengthen our existing cooperative relationship with the two golden berry farm bases from which we procure golden berries and develop new relationship with other golden berry farm bases. We will keep developing favorable relationships with suppliers who can deliver fruit in sufficient supply to support our rapid growth.

  • Further expand our distribution network to increase the prevalence of our products nationwide. Our current sales depend heavily on our regional distributors and their network. To support our rapid growth in sales, we plan to further expand our distribution network.

  • Continue to diversify our product portfolio to satisfy different customer preferences. We currently offer fresh golden berries and four series of products processed primarily from six types of source fruits. We constantly evaluate our products and seek to adapt to changing market conditions by updating our products to reflect new trends in consumer preferences.

47


Our Products

Our primary product offering includes fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits, concentrate pulp as well as fresh fruits. We are also in the process of developing several new products.

The following charts set forth our products categorized by both products and source fruits type in terms of revenue for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009:

Product Mix – By Product

 

48


Product Mix – By Fruit Type

 

Fruit Concentrate

Fruit concentrate is our primary product line, accounting for approximately 47.5% and 51.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. We currently produce six types of fruit concentrate: golden berry, crab apple, blueberry, raspberry, seabuckthorn and blackcurrant. We currently have two concentrate production lines which are allocated for the production of all of four types of concentrates with an annual total production capacity of 9,960 tons. We plan to continue to focus on fruit concentrate which is our fastest growing product line with greatest market demand. To achieve this end, we plan to add a new multi-purpose concentrate juice/pulp production line with a production capacity of 8,000 tons in 2011.

Among the six types of concentrate, the new seabuckthorn and blackcurrant concentrate generally has the highest gross margin and crab apple concentrate consumes most of our production capacity even though it has a lower gross margin. We produce more crab apple concentrate despite its relatively lower gross margin mainly because of the high demand for crab apple products and abundant supply of fresh crab apples which has the largest supply in Northeast China as compared to the other three source fruits.

49


Crab apple is a special species of apple which has much higher acidity than normal species of apple. The apple concentrate produced in China commonly has an acidity of 1.2 to 1.8 while crab apple concentrate typically has acidity over 3.2. The only way to raise the acidity of apple concentrate is to mix it with another apple concentrate with higher acidity. Since apple concentrates that are exported from China to overseas market are usually required to have an acidity of no less 2.0, the local producers of apple concentrate need large quantity of high acidity apple concentrate to add to its low acidity apple concentrate. Therefore, crab apple concentrate is in high demand in the market.

Nectar

Our nectar product line accounted for approximately 9.5% and 13.2% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Nectar is an unfermented and unconcentrated pulp product. To produce nectar, fresh fruits are crushed and then instantaneously sterilized under high temperature without adding any additives other than citric acid. It preserves the nutritional value and flavor of the fresh fruit and elongates shelf life. Nectar is easy to store and transport, and thus providing the producers of fresh fruit based products a much better alternative material than fresh fruit.

We currently produce and sell nectar products using only golden berries. Our nectar products are commonly re-processed into a wide variety of products, including fruit concentrate, fruit ice cream, nectar beverage, biscuits, fruit jam and fruit yogurt. Our nectar products were certified as green food by China Green Food Development Center in May 2006.

Glazed Fruits

Our glazed fruits product line accounted for approximately 22.8% and 10.9% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Glazed fruit is preserved fruit with high sugar content and is a popular, traditional Chinese food. Glazed fruits have a long shelf life and are commonly consumed as snacks.

We currently produce and sell our glazed fruits products using golden berries, blueberries, seabuckthorn and blackcurrant. We launched our glazed blueberry products in December 2009 and seabuckthorn and blackcurrant glazed fruit products in the second fiscal quarter of 2011 which were well received by our customers. In December 2009, we added a new glazed fruits production line with an annual production capacity of 1,200 tons in our Daqing factory which increased our total annual production capacity of glazed fruit products to 2,400 tons. Our glazed fruits are mainly sold as a premium snack. Due to the special taste of our golden berries and blueberries, our products are also commonly used in a wide variety of foods such as baked foods. Our glazed golden berry fruit products were certified as green food by China Green Food Development Center in May 2006.

Fresh Fruit

Sales from fresh golden berries accounted for approximately 3.0% and 4.3% to our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. We sell fresh golden berries to our distributors during the picking season which is typically mid July to mid November every year. We purchase fresh golden berries from local farmers in Heilongjiang province and sort them into different grades. Only the top-grade golden berries that are freshest and have the best color, shape and aroma are sold as fresh fruit. The rest of the fresh golden berries are further processed into glazed fruits, nectar or concentrate.

Golden berries are especially difficult to preserve and usually perish within one week after harvest. To achieve longer shelf life, we keep the fresh fruit in ice houses before we pack them with preservative packing. With these measures, our products can generally remain fresh after long distance transportation and have at least one week longer of shelf life than other similar products in the market.

50


Concentrate Pulp

Since fiscal year 2008, due to demand from our distributors, we started to distribute apple concentrate pulp products and pear concentrate pulp products. These concentrate products are processed by third party vendors according to our technical requirements and standards. Sales from other products contributed approximately 12.9% and 12.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Others

Beverages accounted for approximately 4.2% and 8.2% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Beverage products usually require large capital for advertising and special sales and marketing efforts. We decided to cease beverage production in March 2010 and believe that we will be more profitable by focusing on our primary high-end premium products.

New products under development

We plan to further diversify our product mix to cater to different customer tastes and preferences. We are building a new fruit and vegetable power production line, which is expected to become operational in early 2011.

Production

Our Facilities

Our primary production facility is located in Daqing, Heilongjiang province, which started production in 2004. The facility is located on a 24,217-square-meter tract and encompasses approximately 5,998 square meters of plant and warehouse space. We built another processing facility in Mu Dan Jiang, Helongjiang province in August 2008 where a 6,000 tons concentrate juice production line is located.

We currently own and operate five fruit processing lines with an aggregate processing capacity of 17,160 tons. The average utilization rate of our fruit processing lines was approximately 94.7% in fiscal year 2010. Since fresh fruits are difficult to preserve, particularly in the hot season, we generally keep no inventory of fresh fruits during production. We believe the current utilization rate of the fruit processing lines is the highest rate we can achieve while maintaining no inventory. Our production is mainly conducted from mid July to mid November each year because our primary source fruits are typically harvested during that time and must be processed right away.

To meet the expected growth of our business and to broaden our product portfolio, we are currently building a new fruit and vegetable powder manufacturing facility with an expected annual production capacity of 10,000 tons in Daqing. The new facility is funded by proceeds from our preferred stock offering in 2009 and is expected to begin production in early 2011. The new facility will produce tomato, pumpkin and other popular fruit and vegetable powders that can be used as ingredients in a variety of products, including baby food, ready-to-drink mixes, instant soup mixes, snacks and other confectionery items. We plan to build another fruit and vegetable powder production line with an expected annual production capacity of 10,000 tons in Daqing and a new factory facility in Mudanjiang with a new multi-purpose concentrate juice/pulp production line with an expected annual production capacity of 8,000 tons in 2011 and leverage our established supplier relationship and distributor network to cross sell our new fruit and vegetable powder products.

We also upgraded our fruit concentrate production lines at our facilities in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang in 2010. The upgrades include purchase of additional equipments and implementation of more advanced production techniques. We expect the upgrading will result in more efficient use of raw materials and have a favorable impact on gross margin.

51


Production Processes

The processing of our fruit concentrate, nectar and glazed fruits begins with the collection of fresh fruits from fruit farmers. Fresh fruits are first sorted and washed after arriving in our facility. Cleaned fresh fruits then go through the following processes to be made into different products.

  • Nectar: crush fresh fruits into tiny granules – beat crushed fruits into raw nectar – homogenize raw nectar in a blending tank – pasteurize and sterilize the raw nectar – fill aseptic bags with sterilized nectar.

  • Fruit concentrate: crush and beat fresh fruits into mashes – press fruit mashes until fruit juice comes out – mix raw fruit juice with proper amount of compound enzyme to remove pectin and starch – filter concentrate fruit juice in three-way concentrators to achieve the target content of soluble solids, acidity and other quality standards as well as no additives – fill the aseptic bags with concentrates.

  • Concentrate pulp: crush and beat fresh fruits into mashes – mix raw fruit pulp – filter concentrate pulp in three-way concentrators to achieve the target content of soluble solids, acidity and other quality standards as well as no additives – fill the aseptic bags with concentrate pulp.

  • Glazed fruits: separate fresh fruits into different grades – go through needling machine to get the fruits needled at the surface – blanch needled fruits in a blanching boiler – evacuate the air from fruits – soak evacuated fruits in sugar solution in a sugaring tank – bake sugared fruits in a group of tunnel dryers.

Quality Control

We emphasize on quality. Our production facility has ISO 9001 and HACCP series qualifications. We have established quality control and food safety management system for the purchase of raw materials, fruit processing, packaging, storage and distribution. We have also adopted internal quality standards that we believe are stricter than the standards mandated by the PRC government. We have a 16-person quality control team that closely monitors and tests the quality of our products to ensure compliance with these standards.

High quality raw materials are crucial to the production of quality fruit products. Therefore, we rigorously examine and test fresh fruits arriving at our plant. Any fruits that fail to meet our quality standard will be rejected. We perform routine product inspection and sample testing at our production facility and adhere to strict hygiene standards. For example, every employee involved in production is required to change into specially made clothes, wear working caps and shoes. No one is allowed to enter our production room unless he or she is directly involved in the production process.

All of our products undergo inspection at each stage of the production process, as well as post production inspection and final checking before distribution for sales. Products in storage or in the course of distribution are also subject to regular quality testing.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Raw Materials

Our business depends on maintaining a regular, timely and adequate supply of high-quality fresh fruits, which accounted for approximately 74% of our cost of sales in fiscal year 2010. Our facility is strategically located in Heilongjiang province, where abundant supply of source fruits is available. The close proximity of our facility to the orchards enables us to purchase fresh fruits at a lower cost. Our other raw materials mainly include packing materials (e.g. aseptic bags) and auxiliary processing materials (e.g. sugar and additives) that are widely available.

52


Suppliers and Supplier Arrangements

We employ different procurement strategies to support our rapid growth based on the source fruit type. We coordinate primarily with the local government for the supply of golden berries and rely on a large group of vendors for the supply of other source fruits.

Golden berries in Heilongjiang are mainly grown in four fruit farms. We estimate that the annual output of golden berries at these four fruit farms is approximately 100,000 tons, which accounts for approximately 50% of the total output of golden berries in Heilongjiang province. Our processing volume of golden berries (including those sold as fresh fruits) in fiscal year 2010 was approximately 33,000 tons. We currently purchase a majority of our golden berries from two of these fruit farms -- Hailun and Nehe. It is costly and inefficient to purchase fresh fruits from each individual farmer so we coordinate with the local governments which plan and coordinate the overall fruit planting activities of individual farmers.

We normally sign written agreements with the local governments of Hailun and Nehe at the beginning of each year, which generally have a one-year term. The agreement typically sets forth the total quantity of golden berries to be purchased by us and a predetermined minimum price. The local governments deliver the demand information to individual farmers and coordinate corresponding growth and harvesting activities. In the picking season, we submit our daily request of golden berries to the local governments, who then instruct the farmers to deliver fresh fruits to our plant on a timely basis. The final purchase price is based on the prevailing market price, subject to a predetermined minimum price. This arrangement cuts down our procurement costs significantly and allows the local governments to protect and maximize the interests of constituent farmers.

We generally purchase other source fruits directly from vendors as there is no centralized farm base for these fruits. As an alternative, we have developed a large group of agents who purchase fruits from the local farmers and then re-sell them to us. Our sourcing staff maintains close communication with our agents to ensure their efficiency and loyalty. Our sourcing staff also spends a lot of time to keep developing new agents in the planting area of these fruits. We believe we have established an effective and loyal group of agents who are able to provide us with sufficient fresh fruits to support our growth.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

Sales and Distribution

We currently sell our products directly to approximately 38 regional distributors in China who then sell the products to various customers, including food processors, supermarkets and wholesale stores. As of March 31, 2010, our sales team consisted of 18 employees. We divide the national market into six regions and assign each region a sales team. Northern China is currently our biggest market, accounting for approximately 52% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2010.

We generally require our distributors to pay the full purchase price in cash before we deliver the products. We also offer credit for our products to selected existing distributors with long-term business relationships and excellent credit records. The credit term is generally up to 45 days. We utilize different pricing policies based on the type of source fruit. For instance, the price of our golden berry products is set based on raw material costs to ensure stable profit margin. We believe that we are a leading golden berry processor in China and the only processor in Northeast China which allows us to have strong pricing power. For products based on other source fruits, we price our products at the prevailing market price.

53


Distributors normally have distribution rights to sell our products within a defined territory. We typically enter into a one-year contract with each of our distributors at the beginning of the year. The contract generally requires a 15-day notice of the purchase amount prior to the required delivery date. We have the right to supervise and monitor distributors’ sale of our products. We generally have a no return policy. According to our standard distribution agreement, we are liable for any loss resulted from a quality problem only if the distributor provides certification from relevant authorities. However, distributors will bear any losses caused by their negligence in the storage of the products. We offer no sales rebates or rewards to our distributors.

We believe we maintain stable relationships with our distributors, and many of them have been our distributors for more than three years. Our top ten distributors accounted for approximately 64.6% and 53.9% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2010 and 2009, respectively. The biggest distributor accounted for approximately 13.5% and 9.2% for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. In fiscal year 2010, our two biggest distributors Laiyang Yitian Fruit Juice Company Limited and Beijing Huanpenyuan Food Company Limited accounted for approximately 13.5% and 11.3% of our total revenue, respectively.

Marketing

As of September 30, 2010, we have four marketing personnel in our department who are responsible for market research, promotion and advertisement. We strengthen our market presence through various types of market campaigns. We participate in several domestic and international trade fairs, such as China National Sugar and Alcoholic Commodities Fair and International China Harbin Fair for Trade and Economic Cooperation. These trade fairs help to promote our reputation and name recognition in the industry.

Our Competition

Since we process premium specialty fruits grown in Northeast China, we face little direct competition from the processors of common fruits or broad-based food processors. Our main competitors are local fruit processors that offer products similar to ours. Most of our competitors are small-sized local processors that process only one or two types of specialty fruits. Compared to these competitors, we believe we have more diversified products, higher production capacity and greater resources. Our major competitors in China include Dalian Xinlian Food Company, Shandong Longkou Fudi Food Co. Ltd., Zhalantun Changzheng Beverage Factory and Muxing Quick Frozen Food Factory.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities focus on new product development for new premium specialty fruits and quality improvement. We currently have five employees dedicated to research and development. We also cooperate with Heilongjiang Ba Yi Land Reclamation University (“HLAU”), an agriculture university in China. Since 2004, our company and HLAU have jointly developed six new products, four of which are now our principal products. On March 7, 2008, we entered into a technology cooperation agreement with HLAU to develop several new products, including glazed blueberry, blackcurrant concentrate, seabuckthorn concentrate and golden berry extracts. Under the agreement, we will provide a total amount of approximately $25,670 (RMB 180,000) to HLAU for the development of the new products and all intellectual property rights of the new products belong to our company. During the year, we have successfully developed the glazed blueberry, and blackcurrant and seabuckthorn glazed fruit and concentrate juice products.

Newly developed products will be put into production and commercialized when certain criteria are met, including: market demand is material, adequate supplies of raw material are secured to allow for efficient mass production, and production capacity is in place.

54


Intellectual Property

All of our product formulations are proprietary. We have not registered or applied for protections in China for most of our intellectual property or proprietary technologies relating to the formulations of our products. See “RISK FACTORS—Risks Related to Our Business—Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.” Although we believe that, as of today, patents and copyrights have not been essential to maintaining our competitive market position, we intend to assess appropriate occasions in the future for seeking patent and copyright protections for those aspects of our business that provide significant competitive advantages.

We sell our fruit concentrate, glazed fruit and nectar products under the brand of “农珍之冠”. Our chairman Changjun Yu transferred the trademark for “农珍之冠” in both class 29 and class 32 to our company which was approved by the Trademark Office of the State of Administration for Industry and Commerce of China in March 2009. The trademark expires in 2018.

We rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary information and know-how. Our management and each of our research and development personnel have entered into a standard annual employment contract, which includes a confidentiality clause and a clause acknowledging that all inventions, designs, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated by them on our behalf are our property, and assigning to us any ownership rights that they may claim in those works. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use, without our consent, intellectual property that we own or are licensed to use. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business. See “RISK FACTORS —Risks Related to Our Business—Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.”

Regulation

Because our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC, we are regulated by the national and local laws of the PRC. The food industry, of which fruit based products form a part, is subject to extensive regulation in China. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant PRC regulations governing our business in China.

We are also subject to the PRC’s foreign currency regulations. The PRC government has controlled Renminbi reserves primarily through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into other foreign currencies. Although foreign currencies, which are required for “current account” transactions, can be bought freely at authorized PRC banks, the proper procedural requirements prescribed by PRC law must be met. At the same time, PRC companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange earnings to authorized PRC banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the PRC government.

Food Hygiene and Safety Laws and Regulations

As a producer of food products in China, we are subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations governing food safety and hygiene, including:

  • the PRC Product Quality Law;

  • the PRC Food Hygiene Law;

  • the Implementation Rules on the Administration and Supervision of Quality and Safety in Food Producing and Processing Enterprises (trail implementation);

  • the Regulation on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products;

55


  • the General Measure on Food Quality Safety Market Access Examination;

  • the General Standards for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods;

  • the Standardization Law;

  • the Regulation on Hygiene Administration of Food Additive;

  • the Regulation on Administration of Bar Code of Merchandise; and

  • the PRC Metrology Law.

These laws and regulations set out safety and hygiene standards and requirements for various aspects of food production, such as the use of additives, production, packaging, handling, labeling and storage, as well as facilities and equipment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in confiscation of our products and proceeds from the sales of non-compliant products, destruction of our products and inventory, fines, suspension of production and operations, product recalls, revocation of licenses, and, in extreme cases, criminal liability.

Environmental Regulations

We are subject to various governmental regulations related to environmental protection. The major environmental regulations applicable to us include:

  • the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution;

  • Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution;

  • Implementation Rules of the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution;

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution; and

  • the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution.

We have obtained all permits and licenses required for production of our products and believe we are in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Properties

There is no private land ownership in China. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire land use rights for specific purposes. We were granted land use rights from the PRC government for approximately 24,217 and 37,309 square meters of land located at No. 3, Xin Fa Street, Daqing Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, Daqing City and Bei Dian Village, Wu Lin Town, Lin Kou County, Mudangjiang City, respectively. The land use rights of both land will expire on May 19, 2055 and February 28, 2058, respectively.

We recently acquired the land use right for approximately 41,000 square meters of land located in Daqing to build our new fruit and vegetable powder manufacturing facility. The new facility is expected to begin production in early 2011 and will produce tomato, pumpkin and other popular fruit and vegetable powders that can be used as ingredients in a variety of products, including baby food, ready-to-drink mixes, instant soup mixes, snacks and other confectionery items. The land use right will expire in 2060.

We believe that all our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

56


Environmental Matters

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to various pollution control regulations with respect to noise, water and air pollution and the disposal of waste and hazardous materials. We are also subject to periodic inspections by local environmental protection authorities. We believe we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC environmental laws and regulations and are not currently subject to any pending actions alleging any violations of applicable PRC environmental laws.

Our Employees

As of September 30, 2010, we employed a total of 552 full-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our employees by function.

Department   Number of
    Employees
Senior Management   11
Human Resources & Administration   60
Production   384
Procurement   3
Marketing   4
Sales   17
Logistic   36
Research & Development   5
Quality Control   20
Accounting   12
TOTAL   552

Our employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages.

We are required under PRC law to make contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the after-tax profit. In addition, we are required by the PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. We believe that we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

Seasonality

As is typical in the fruit processing industry, we experience seasonality in our business. Our fruit processing lines are mainly carried out from mid-July to mid-November each year because our primary source fruits are typically harvested during that period and must be processed right away. As a result of seasonality in production, our personnel, working capital requirements, cash flow and inventories vary substantially throughout the year. In fiscal year 2010, sales during the second, third and forth fiscal quarters accounted for approximately 26.5%, 24.4% and 36.2% of our total sales revenue respectively. Generally we experience lesser sales in the first fiscal quarter because of lower demand and decreased inventory levels.

Insurance

We have property insurance for our facility located in Daqing and Mu Dan Jiang City. We believe our insurance coverage is customary and standard for companies of comparable size in comparable industries in China.

57


We do not have any business liability, interruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, we are subject to business and product liability exposure. See “RISK FACTORS—Risks Related to Our Business—We have limited insurance coverage and do not carry any business interruption insurance, third-party liability insurance for our production facilities or insurance that covers the risk of loss of our products in shipment.”

Litigation

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

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 120,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters. Our bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the board of directors. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our common stock.

The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors has never declared a dividend with respect to common stock and does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future. Should we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to do so and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors.

To the extent that additional shares of our common stock are issued, the relative interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series within a class as may be determined by our board of directors, who may establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each class or series, may fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Any preferred stock so issued by the board of directors may rank senior to the common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. Moreover, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or the existence of the un-issued preferred stock might tend to discourage or render more difficult a merger or other change in control.

The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

On September 30, 2010, we conducted a private place transaction and issued 359,502 units at a purchase price of $33.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and one warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 342,983 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. A summary of the rights and obligations attached to holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is set forth below:

Ranking. With respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock and our other classes or series of stock not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

67


Voting. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an “as converted” basis, together with the common stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to our stockholders, except as required by Nevada law.

Conversion. Shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are optionally convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate calculated by dividing (A) $33.00 per share (the “Liquidation Preference Amount”) by (B) the conversion price, which is initially $3.30 per share, subject to certain adjustment. Initially, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of our common stock.

Mandatory Conversion. We have the right to convert outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon (i) the closing of a sale by us shares of the common stock in a registered public offering in which we sell shares of our stock in exchange for at least $10 million in gross proceeds and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are able to offer and sell at least 50% of the common stock that would be received upon such mandatory conversion (“Qualified Sale”) or (ii) when the average of the daily closing price of the common stock for at least 30 consecutive trading days is not less than $4.25 and the daily trading volume during each of those 30 trading days exceeds 75,000 shares (a “Market Forced Conversion,” and collectively with a Qualified Sale, a “Forced Conversion”). The conversion rate to be applied in effecting a Forced Conversion is calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference Amount per share by $2.75 (in the event of a Qualified Sale) or $3.30 (in the event of a Market Forced Conversion), as the case may be, subject to certain adjustment. In addition, in connection with a Qualified Sale Forced Conversion, we will pay to the holder for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted a per share amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the original issue price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividends. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 7% on the Liquidation Preference Amount thereof. Such dividends will be payable annually on September 1 beginning with the first such date after September 30, 2009 and any optional conversion date in cash.

Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of our company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to $33.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the common stock or any other class or series of stock issued by the company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of the right to participate in distributions or payments upon a liquidation event.

Redemption. At any time on or after less than 10% of the originally issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to redeem all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price equal to one hundred and one percent (101%) of the Liquidation Preference Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. A holder of then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may also, upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and at the option of such holder, request the Company to redeem all or any of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the same price.

DESCRIPTION OF TAIWAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPT

Taiwan Depositary Receipts

China Development Industrial Bank, or the “CDIB”, is the depositary bank for our TDRs. CDIB’s depositary offices are located at No.125, Sec.5, Nanjing East Rd, Taipei 10504. The TDRs represent fractional ownership interests in shares of our common stock that are on deposit with the depositary bank. The depositary bank typically appoints a custodian to safe keep these securities on deposit. In this case, the custodian is Citibank Hong Kong, located at 44F, Citibank Plaza, 3 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong.

Each TDR represents the right to receive one-tenth of a share of our common stock on deposit with the custodian. A TDR will also represent the right to receive any other property received by the depositary bank or the custodian, such as dividends or distributions, on behalf of the owner of the TDR but that has not been distributed to the owners of TDRs because of legal restrictions or practical considerations.

In accordance with the laws of the Republic of China, unless the Taiwan Depositary & Clearing Corporation in unable to issue TDRs in book-entry form, all TDRs will be issued in book-entry form through the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation. As a TDR holder, we will not treat you as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. Nevada law governs shareholder rights. If you become an owner of TDRs, you will become a party to the deposit agreement and therefore will be bound to its terms. The deposit agreement specifies our rights and obligations as well as the rights and obligations of TDR holders and those of the depositary bank. The deposit agreement and the TDRs are governed the Republic of China laws, regulations, and customary commercial practices.

We are providing you with a summary description of the material terms of the depositary agreement and of your material rights as an owner of TDRs. Please remember that summaries by their nature lack the precision of the information summarized and that the rights and obligations of an owner of TDRs will be determined by reference to the terms of the deposit agreement and not by this summary. We urge you to review the deposit agreement in its entirety.

Dividends and Distributions

TDR holders generally have the right to receive distributions that we make with respect to the shares of common stock deposited with the custodian bank. A TDR holder’s receipt of these distributions, however, may be limited by or prohibited as a result of practical considerations and legal limitations. Holders will receive such distributions under the terms of the deposit agreement in proportion to the number of TDRs held as of a specified record date.

69


Distributions of Cash

Whenever we make any cash distribution on the common stock on deposit with the custodian, we will deposit the funds with the custodian. Upon receipt of confirmation of the deposit of the requisite funds, the depositary bank will arrange for the funds to be converted into TWD and for the distribution of the TWD to the holders, subject to the laws of the State of Nevada and regulations.

The distribution of cash will be made net of the fees, expenses, taxes and governmental charges payable by holders under the terms of the deposit agreement.

Distributions of Shares

If we make a distribution of shares of securities for the common stock on deposit with the custodian, we will deposit the applicable number of shares with the custodian. Upon receipt of confirmation of such deposit, the depositary bank will either distribute to holders new TDRs representing the shares of common stock deposited or modify the TDR-to-common stock ratio, in which case each TDR holder hold will represent rights and interests in the additional shares so deposited. Only whole new TDRs will be distributed. Fractional entitlements will be sold and the proceeds of such sale will be distributed as in the case of a cash distribution.

The distribution of new TDRs or the modification of the TDR-to-shares ratio upon a distribution of shares will be made net of the fees, expenses, taxes and governmental charges payable by holders under the terms of the deposit agreement. In order to pay such taxes or governmental charges, the depositary bank may sell all or a portion of the new shares so distributed.

No such distribution of new TDRs will be made if it would violate a law (i.e., the U.S. securities laws) or if it is not operationally practicable. If the depositary bank does not distribute new TDRs as described above, it may sell the shares of Common Stock received upon the terms described in the deposit agreement and will distribute the proceeds of the sale as in the case of a distribution of cash.

Distributions of Rights

If we offer our shareholders the right to purchase additional securities, we will give prior notice to the depositary bank and will assist the depositary bank in determining whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to distribute rights to purchase additional TDRs to holders.

The depositary bank will establish procedures to distribute rights to purchase additional TDRs to holders and to enable such holders to exercise such rights if it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make the rights available to holders of TDRs, and if we provide all of the documentation contemplated in the deposit agreement (such as opinions to address the lawfulness of the transaction). A TDR holder may have to pay fees, expenses, taxes and other governmental charges to subscribe for the new TDRs upon the exercise of TDR holders’ rights. The depositary bank is not obligated to establish procedures to facilitate the distribution and exercise by holders of rights to purchase new securities other than in the form of TDRs.

The depositary bank will sell the rights that are not exercised or not distributed if such sale is lawful and reasonably practicable. The proceeds of such sale will be distributed to holders as in the case of a cash distribution. If the depositary bank is unable to sell the rights, it will allow the rights to lapse.

Other Distributions

If we distribute property other than cash, securities or rights to purchase additional securities, we will notify the depositary bank in advance and indicate whether we wish such distribution to be made to TDR holders. If so, we will assist the depositary bank in determining whether such distribution to holders is lawful and reasonably practicable.

70


If it is reasonably practicable to distribute such property to TDR holder and if we provide all of the documentation contemplated in the deposit agreement, the depositary bank will distribute the property to the holders in a manner it deems practicable.

The distribution will be made net of fees, expenses, taxes and governmental charges payable by holders under the terms of the deposit agreement. In order to pay such taxes and governmental charges, the depositary bank may sell all or a portion of the property received.

Redemption

If we redeem any of the shares of common stock on deposit with the custodian, we will notify the depositary bank. If it is reasonably practicable and if we provide all of the documentation contemplated in the deposit agreement, the depositary bank will mail or fax notice of the redemption to the holders.

The custodian will be instructed to surrender the shares being redeemed against payment of the applicable redemption price. The depositary bank will convert the redemption funds received into TWD upon the terms of the deposit agreement and will establish procedures to enable holders to receive the net proceeds from the redemption upon surrender of their TDRs to the depositary bank. A TDR holder may have to pay fees, expenses, taxes and other governmental charges upon the redemption of his, her or its TDRs. If less than all TDRs are being redeemed, the TDRs to be retired will be selected by lot or on a pro rata basis, as the depositary bank may determine.

Voting Rights

TDR holders generally have the right under the deposit agreement to instruct the depositary bank to exercise the voting rights for the shares of common stock represented by their TDRs.

The depositary bank will distribute to TDR holders any notice of shareholders’ meeting received from us together with information explaining how to instruct the depositary bank to exercise the voting rights of the securities represented by TDRs.

If the depositary bank timely receives the same voting instructions with respect to the same proposal from TDR holders representing more than half of the total outstanding TDRs, it will endeavor to vote the shares on deposit in respect of TDRs in accordance with such voting instructions. In the event of voting by a show of hands, the depositary bank will vote or cause the designated custodian to vote all shares on deposit in respect of TDRs according to such instructions. In the event of poll voting, the depositary bank will vote or cause the custodian to vote the shares on deposit in respect of TDRs in accordance with instruction from each holder of TDRs for who has timely given voting instructions to the depositary bank. If the depositary bank not received the voting instruction from the TDRs holders, the depositary bank or the designated custodian can not vote for the relevant motion singly.

If the depositary bank does not receive the same voting instructions with respect to the same proposal from holders of TDRs representing more than half of the total outstanding TDRs, the depositary bank or the custodian will give discretionary proxy to the Chairman of the Company or his designated person, to vote all shares of common stock represented by TDRs.

The ability of the depositary bank to carry out voting instructions may be limited by practical and legal limitations and the terms of the securities on deposit.

71

Rule 144

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to and compliant with the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale. In addition, under Rule 144, any person who is not an affiliate of ours, has not been an affiliate of ours during the preceding three months and has held their shares for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares immediately upon the closing of this offering without regard to whether current public information about us is available. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

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

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial opinions, and published rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus. These authorities are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained. Finally, this discussion is based in part, upon representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

73


As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. person” means a person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our TDRs or common stock that is a U.S. person, and the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our TDRs or common stock (other than an entity that is treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. person.

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

U.S. Holders

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

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

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

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors on the foreign currency tax consequences to them of the conversion of any cash distributions by us in U.S. dollars into new Taiwan dollars by the depositary.

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition. In general, a U.S. holder must treat any gain or loss recognized upon a sale, taxable exchange, or other taxable disposition of our TDRs or common stock as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the TDRs or common stock so disposed of exceeds one year at the time of disposition, and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss. In general, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the TDRs or common stock so disposed of. Long-term capital gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder will generally be subject to a preferential rate of tax. The deduction of capital losses of both corporate and non-corporate U.S. holders is subject to various limitations.

74


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

New Legislation Regarding Medicare Tax. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts will be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their dividends and net gains from the sale or other disposition of our TDRs or common stock. If you are a U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in our TDRs or common stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax. Payments to a U.S. holder (other than an “exempt recipient,” including a corporation and certain other persons who, when required, demonstrate their exempt status) of dividends with respect to, or the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of, our TDRs or common stock may be subject to information reporting requirements. In general, if a non-corporate U.S. holder subject to information reporting fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable U.S. information reporting or certification requirements, backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate may apply. Backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from a payment to a U.S. holder under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a refund or a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

75


Non-U.S. Holders

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

There is a possibility that we may qualify as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. corporation is an 80/20 company if at least 80% of its gross income earned directly or from subsidiaries during an applicable testing period is “active foreign business income.” The 80% test is applied on a periodic basis. If we qualify as an 80/20 company, a percentage of any dividend paid by us generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the amount of any such dividend subject to withholding tax in this circumstance. Subject to transition rules and a grandfathering exception, the provisions of the Code that treat all or a portion of any dividends paid by an 80/20 company as exempt from U.S. withholding tax have been repealed effective generally for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010.

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

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition. A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of TDRs or common stock, unless:

  • the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder);

  • the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met, and is not eligible for relief under an applicable income tax treaty; or

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

76


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

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

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of distributions on our TDRs or common stock paid to such non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to those distributions, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting those distributions and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate, and additional information reporting, however, generally will not apply to distributions to a non-U.S. holder with respect to our TDRs or common stock provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption

Payments of the proceeds from a sale by a non-U.S. holder made to or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. Information reporting may apply to such payments, however, if the broker is a U.S. person or has certain specified connections with the United States. Payment of the proceeds from the sale of our TDRs or common stock through the U.S. office of a broker is subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the non-U.S. holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

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

77


Recently Enacted Legislation Relating to Foreign Accounts

On March 18, 2010, the President signed the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act into law. Effective for payments made after December 31, 2012, this law imposes a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on distributions to, and the gross proceeds of sale in respect of our TDRs or shares of common stock by, a foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity, unless (1) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) and to withhold on certain payments and (2) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisor regarding the possible implications of this recently enacted legislation on the ownership and disposition of our TDRs or common stock.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010 and 2009 (Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

NOTE 1.     NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

China Nutrifruit Group Limited (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Utah on April 22, 1983 and changed its domicile from Utah to Nevada in April 1999. The Company had no business activities or meaningful operations, income producing assets or significant operating capital since at least 1989 until it acquired Fezdale Investments Limited (“Fezdale”) on August 14, 2008.

On August 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Fezdale, a British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) corporation, through a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange Transaction”), with the result that the shareholders of Fezdale became the beneficial owners of 83.5% of the Company’s common stock. As a result of such Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Fezdale became the Company’s controlling shareholders. Accordingly, all references to shares of Fezdale’s ordinary shares were restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of the common stock of China Nutrifruit Group Limited.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) require that a company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, in the Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale is treated as the accounting acquirer and China Nutrifruit Group Limited is treated as the acquired party. Accordingly, the Share Exchange Transaction was accounted for a recapitalization of the Company. The equity section of the accompanying financial statements was restated to reflect the recapitalization of the Company due to the Share Exchange Transaction as of the first day of the first period presented. The assets and liabilities acquired that, for accounting purposes, were deemed to have been acquired by Fezdale were not significant.

Also, on August 14, 2008, the Company’s majority shareholder, Yiu Fai Kung (“Mr. Kung”), entered into escrow agreements with the private placement investors and HFG International, Limited (“HFG”). Mr. Kung will deliver a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him to the investors and HFG pro-rata in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional consideration if:

The after tax net income for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2009 was less than $13,919,707 and fiscal year ending on March 31, 2010 was less than $18,495,315; and

The return to Mr. Kung of any of the make good shares placed in escrow by him is considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement because Mr. Kung is a director of the Company’s subsidiary Fezdale. Accordingly, if any of the required earnings targets are met and shares are returned to Mr. Kung, the Company will recognize a non-cash compensation cost at that time equal to the then fair value of the shares returned (up to a total of 5,599,598 shares). For the year ended March 31, 2009, the earnings target for 2009 of net income of $13,955,178 (before any charges related to the release of any shares from escrow) was met. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $9,519,316.6 in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the release from escrow to Mr. Kung of 2,799,799 shares.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the earnings target for 2009 of net income of $18,495,315 was met. Accordingly, 2,799,799 shares will be released to Mr. Kung from escrow.

NOTE 1.     NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2.5 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to customary adjustments) and the Company is obligated to register the underlying shares of common stock within thirty days of the closing date. In connection with the initial closing of the offering, the Company raised $11.86 million.

On October 8, 2009, the Company effected the second and final closing of the Financing and issued 43,916 units (the “Unit”) for $33.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,449,000.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Economic and political risks

The Group’s operations are conducted in the PRC. According the Group’s business, financial position maybe influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.

The Group’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risk not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environmental and foreign currency exchange. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade accounts receivable

In the normal course of business, the Group extends credit to customers. Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflect the net realizable value of receivables, and approximate fair value. On a regular basis, the Group evaluates its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. No allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2010 was recorded.

Inventories

The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect production costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Group uses first-in, first-out methods to value its inventories. During the idle production period, overhead costs include depreciation are treated as current-period charges, which are expensed to general and administrative expense instead of costs of inventories.

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of certain of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other current assets, other payables and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal estimated useful lives generally are: buildings – 20 years; leasehold improvements – 10 years; machinery - 10 years, furniture, fixture and office equipment – 5 years; motor vehicles – 5 years. Depreciation of property and equipment was $506,884, $934,571, $378,187 and $746,246 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of products, where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when the customer receives the product or at the time title passes to the customer. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless damaged or defective. Net sales are comprised of gross sales reduced by customer returns, trade promotions and discounts.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in selling expenses. The shipping and handling costs for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $477,021, $942,206, $505,889 and $1,217,408 respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, except indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by the Group to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. During the periods, no impairment on long-lived assets was recorded by the Group.

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period of time. Thus, all of the Group’s land located in the PRC is considered leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2055.

Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill represents the excess fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination over the purchase price. The negative goodwill is allocated as a pro rate reduction of the amounts assigned to the assets acquired excluding financial assets, deferred taxes and other current assets. If negative goodwill exceeds the amount of those assets, the remaining excess shall be recognized as an extraordinary gain in the period which the business combination is completed.

Other income recognition

Other income is comprised of interest income and others.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the loan to the loan’s net carrying amount.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The total advertising costs were $9,864, $15,403, $6,235 and $10,877 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Group is Renminbi, “RMB”. The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Statutory reserves

The laws and regulations of the PRC require before an enterprise distributes profits to its owners, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations. The statutory reserves include a surplus reserve fund and a common welfare fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. The details of surplus reserve fund and common welfare fund are as follows:

Surplus reserve fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50 percent of that subsidiary’s paid-in capital.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years' losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into equity by raising equity from existing owners in proportion to their equity holdings.

Common welfare fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 5 percent to 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the statutory common welfare fund. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of that subsidiary’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. The transfer to this fund must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners.

Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Group’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Group’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the management or operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under the provision of Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), resulting in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or refunded for the relevant periods. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured at the enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the years which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a benefit will be realized. The Group’s operations are primarily located in PRC and subject to PRC profits tax.

NOTE 2.     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU enhances the disclosure requirements about the credit quality and related allowance for credit losses of financing receivables. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition, as its requirements only pertain to financial statement note disclosure.

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to the SEC Rule, Technical Amendments to Rules Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112, which amended or rescinded a portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805, Business Combination, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Deferred tax assets

The source of significant temporary difference that gives rise to the deferred tax asset is as follows:

    September 30,     March 31,  
    2010     2010  
          (audited)  
             

Deferred tax assets:

           

Difference between book and tax basis of land use right and property and equipment

$  989,990   $  1,068,878  

Tax losses carryforward

  1,069,785     913,721  

Less: valuation allowance

  (1,069,785 )   (913,721 )

Net deferred tax assets

$  989,990   $  1,068,878  

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all of the assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in each tax jurisdiction during the periods in which temporary differences in those jurisdictions become deductible. Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company has provided valuation allowances of $1,069,785 and $913,721 in respect of federal net operating loss and foreign unused tax loss carryforwards, respectively, which it does not expect to utilize.

Gross deferred tax assets at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 were reduced by valuation allowances of $1,069,785 and $913,721, respectively. The total valuation allowance between periods presented increased by $156,064 (March 31, 2010: $368,853) and such increase was attributable to the tax effect on foreign tax losses incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $27,323 (March 31, 2010: $56,757) at enacted foreign profit tax rates and the tax effect on federal net operating loss incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $128,741 (March 31, 2010: $312,096) at the federal tax rate of 35%.

Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of undistributed earnings or income tax payable in the event the Company repatriated all undistributed foreign earnings. However, if these earnings were distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, offset by an adjustment for foreign tax credits.

Series A Preferred Stock

In connection with the first closing of Private Placement Transaction on September 30, 2009, certain investors received 359,502 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

In connection with the second and final closing of Private Placement Transaction on October 8, 2009, certain investors received 43,916 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. A summary of terms of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

Ranking

With respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and any other classes or series of stock of the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Voting

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, together with the common stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to the Company’s shareholders, except as required by Nevada law.

Conversion

Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are optionally convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate calculated by dividing (A) $33.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference Amount") by (B) the conversion price, which is initially $3.30 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. Initially, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock.

Mandatory Conversion

The Company may convert outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon (i) the closing of a sale by the Company of shares of common stock in a registered public offering in which the Company sells shares of its stock for at least $10 million in gross proceeds and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are able to offer and sell at least 50% of the common stock that would be received upon such mandatory conversion ("Qualified Sale") or (ii) when the average of the daily closing price of the common stock for at least 30 consecutive trading days is not less than $4.25 and the daily trading volume during each of those 30 trading days exceeds 75,000 shares (a "Market Forced Conversion," and collectively with a Qualified Sale, a "Forced Conversion"). The conversion rate to be applied in effecting a Forced Conversion is calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference Amount per share by $2.75 (in the event of a Qualified Sale) or $3.30 (in the event of a Market Forced Conversion), as the case may be, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. In addition, in connection with a Qualified Sale Forced Conversion, the Company will pay to the holder for each share of Series A Preferred Stock so converted a per share amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the original issue price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

NOTE 9.     SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONT’D)

Dividends

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 7% on the Liquidation Preference Amount thereof. Such dividends are payable annually on September 1 beginning with the first date after December 31, 2009 and any optional conversion date in cash.

Liquidation

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, $33.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class or series of stock issued by the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the right to participate in distributions or payments upon a liquidation event.

Redemption

At any time on or after less than 10% of the originally issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding at one hundred and one percent (101%) of the Liquidation Preference Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. A holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may also, upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and at the option of such holder, request the Company to redeem all or any of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the same price.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
China Nutrifruit Group Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Nutrifruit Group Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHINA NUTRIFRUIT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Nature of Business

China Nutrifruit Group Limited (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Utah on April 22, 1983 and changed its domicile from Utah to Nevada in April 1999. The Company was not engaged in any business activities and had no meaningful operations, income producing assets or significant operating capital since at least 1989 until it acquired Fezdale Investments Limited (“Fezdale”) on August 14, 2008.

On August 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Fezdale, a British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) corporation, through a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange Transaction”), with the result that the shareholders of Fezdale became the beneficial owners of approximately 83.5% of the Company’s common stock. As a result of such Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Fezdale became the Company’s controlling shareholders. Accordingly, all references to shares of Fezdale’s ordinary shares were restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of the common stock of China Nutrifruit Group Limited.

The share exchange resulted in Fezdale’s former shareholder obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) require that a company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, in the Share Exchange Transaction, Fezdale is treated as the accounting acquirer and China Nutrifruit Group Limited is treated as the acquired party. Accordingly, the Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for a recapitalization of the Company. The equity section of the accompanying financial statements was restated to reflect the recapitalization of the Company due to the Share Exchange Transaction as of the first day of the first period presented. The assets and liabilities acquired that, for accounting purposes, were deemed to have been acquired by Fezdale were not significant.

Also, on August 14, 2008, the Company’s majority shareholder, Yiu Fai Kung (“Mr. Kung”), entered into escrow agreements with the private placement investors and HFG International, Limited (“HFG”). Mr. Kung will deliver a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him to the investors and HFG pro-rata in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional consideration if:

(i)

The after tax net income for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2009 is less than $13,919,707 and fiscal year ending on March 31, 2010 is less than $18,495,315; and

The return to Mr. Kung of any of the make good shares placed in escrow by him was considered to be a separate compensatory arrangement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 because Mr. Kung was a director of the Company’s subsidiary Fezdale. For the year ended March 31, 2009, the earnings target for 2009 of net income of $13,955,178 (before any charges related to the release of any shares from escrow) was met. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a non-cash charge to compensation cost of $9,519,316.6 in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the release from escrow to Mr. Kung of 2,799,799 shares.

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the earnings target for 2010 of net income of $18,495,315 was met. Accordingly, 2,799,799 shares will be released to Mr. Kung from escrow. As Mr. Kung resigned from his position as Fezdale’s director and the release of the escrowed shares was not contingent upon Mr. Kung’s continuing employment with the Company, the Company did not recognize any compensation expenses relating to the release of the escrow shares to Mr. Kung in fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

On September 4, 2009, the Company’s common stock was approved by the NYSE Amex for listing and registration.

 F- 30


On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Private Placement Transaction”) with certain accredited investors (“Investors”) and effected the initial closing of the purchase and sale of 359,502 units (the “Unit”) at $33.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2.5 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to customary adjustments) and the Company is obligated to register the underlying shares of common stock within thirty days of the closing date. In connection with the initial closing of the offering, the Company raised approximately $11.86 million.

On October 8, 2009, the Company effected the second and final closing of the Financing and issued 43,916 units (the “Unit”) at a purchase price of $33.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,449,000.

Fezdale Investments Limited

Fezdale is a private limited liability company incorporated in BVI on August 22, 2007.

In November 2007, Solar Sun Holdings Limited (“Solar Sun”), a subsidiary of Fezdale, entered in a share purchase agreement with six owners of Daqing Longheda Food Company Limited (“Longheda”) under which the six owners of Longheda transferred 75% equity interests in Longheda to Solar Sun for RMB40,000,000 or $5.87 million. In May 2008, the six founders of Longheda transferred the remaining 25% equity interests in Longheda to Solar Sun. After the transfer, Longheda became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Sun.

Solar Sun Holdings Limited

Solar Sun is a private limited liability company (the “PLLC”) incorporated in Hong Kong on September 12, 2007. Solar Sun is a holding company and has no assets or operations other than its ownership of Longheda.

Daqing Longheda Food Company Limited

Longheda was incorporated in Heilongjiang province of Peoples’ Republic of China (the “PRC”) in June 2004. Longheda manufactures and sells a variety of food products processed from specialty premium fruits that grow in Northeast China. Currently, Longheda processes four types of premium specialty fruits, including golden berry, crab apple, blueberry and raspberry, and sells fresh fruits. Longheda currently has five types of fruit based products, including fruit concentrate, nectar, glazed fruits, concentrate pulp and fruit beverage. Longheda sells its products through an extensive sales and distribution network covering 20 provinces in China. The fresh fruits are mainly sold to fruit supermarkets and stores while the processed fruit products are mainly sold to manufacturers for further processing into fruit juice and other fruit related products.

Jumbo Gloss Limited

Jumbo Gloss Limited (“Jumbo Gloss”) is a PLLC incorporated in BVI on October 13, 2009. Jumbo Gloss is a dormant company and has no assets or operations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China Nutrifruit Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the US GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the accounts of China Nutrifruit Group Limited, Fezdale Investments Limited, Solar Sun Holdings Limited, Jumbo Gloss Limited and Daqing Longheda Food Company Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 F- 31


Segment information

The Group identifies and classifies its operating segment based on the nature of the products with similar economic characteristics. No segment information is provided as the Group only has one business and geographical segment. The Group’s reportable segment is the manufacture and sell of food products, which operations are located in the PRC and sales were predominately made to customers located in the PRC.

Economic and political risks

The Group’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly the Group’s business, financial position may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.

The Group’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risk not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environmental and foreign currency exchange. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net operating results for the reporting period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

Trade accounts receivable

In the normal course of business the Group extends credit to customers. Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables, and their approximate fair value. On a regular basis, the Group evaluates its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. No allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2010 (2009: nil) was recorded.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

The cost of finished products inventories includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect production costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Group uses first-in, first-out methods to value its inventories. During the idle production period, overhead costs include depreciation are treated as current-period charges, which are expensed to general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of certain of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current assets, other payables and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal estimated useful lives generally are: buildings – 20 years; leasehold improvements – 10 years; machinery – 10 years; furniture, fixtures and office equipment – 5 years; motor vehicles – 5 years. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment was $1,590,023 and $1,041,111 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. During the idle period of the plant, depreciation is treated as current-period charges, which charge directly to general and administrative expense.

F - 32


Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill represents the excess fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination over the purchase price. The negative goodwill is allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts assigned to the assets acquired excluding financial assets, deferred taxes and other current assets. If negative goodwill exceeds the amount of those assets, the remaining excess shall be recognized as an extraordinary gain in the period which the business combination is completed.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of products, where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when the customer receives the product or at the time title passes to the customer. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless damaged or defective. Net sales are comprised of gross sales reduced by customer returns, trade promotions and discounts.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in selling expenses. The shipping and handling costs for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2,872,277 and $2,103,838 respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, except indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by the Group to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. During the period, no impairment on long-lived assets was recorded by the Group.

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period of time. Thus, all of the Group’s land located in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2055.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The total advertising costs were $38,053 and $22,596 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Other income recognition

Other income is comprised of interest income and others.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the loan to the loan’s net carrying amount.

Foreign currency translation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Group is Renminbi, “RMB”. The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

March 31, 2010  
Balance sheet RMB6.8361 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income RMB6.8383 to US$1.00

F- 33



March 31, 2009  
Balance sheet RMB6.8456 to US$1.00
Statement of income and comprehensive income RMB6.8805 to US$1.00

As at March 31, 2010, RMB236,619,999 equivalents to US$34,613,303 (March 31, 2009: RMB32,611,383 equivalents to US$4,736,846) is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

Statutory reserves

The laws and regulations of the PRC require before an enterprise distributes profits to its owners, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations. The statutory reserves include a surplus reserve fund and a common welfare fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. The details of surplus reserve fund and common welfare fund are as follows:

Surplus reserve fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50 percent of that subsidiary’s paid-in capital.

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into equity by raising equity from existing owners in proportion to their equity holdings.

Common welfare fund

The Company’s subsidiary in PRC is required to transfer 5 percent to 10 percent of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the statutory common welfare fund. This fund can only be utilized for capital items for the collective benefit of that subsidiary’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. The transfer to this fund must be made before distribution of any dividends to owners.

Share-based payment

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification 718 (“ASC 718”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 123®, Share-Based Payment), as amended and interpreted, for its share-based compensation which required the Company to record compensation expense for all awards based on their grant date fair value. The Company utilized the modified prospective method approach, pursuant to which the Company has recorded compensation for all awards granted based on their fair value.

Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Group’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Group’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the management or operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under the provision of Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”) and related interpretations and guidance including FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), resulting in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or refunded for the relevant periods. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured at the enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the years which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a benefit will be realized. The Group’s operations are primarily located in PRC and subject to PRC profits tax.

Reclassifications

Certain financial statements line items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and have no impact on the previously reported consolidated net sales, operating earnings or financial position.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(a) Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard that established the FASB ASC and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). For the Company, the ASC was effective July 1, 2009. This standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements were changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.

In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard codified in ASC 820, which provides guidance about how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. ASC 820 apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also requires additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued amendments which state that ASC 820 does not address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement and delay the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities and those items for which it has measured on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted ASC 820 for certain of its non-financial assets and liabilities on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new business combinations standard codified within ASC 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted ASC 805 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new standard which established the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries codified within ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. Upon adoption of ASC 810 on April 1, 2009, the Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest from minority interest to equity in the accompanying March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, codified in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. The Company adopted ASC 815 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

F-35


In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in ASC 820. The standard provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures. The Company adopted the standard during the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding subsequent events codified in ASC 855 Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 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 disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective for the Company’s first quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-05 (ASU 2010-05), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard codifies EITF Topic D-110 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation.

(b) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. For the Company, this ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under certain circumstances, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. The disclosure provisions of this ASU are not applicable to an employer’s disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. For the Company, this ASU was effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. For the Company, ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning April 1, 2011. The Company may elect to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

F- 36


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 4. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2010, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.

Group’s operations are in China

All of the Group’s products are produced in China. The Group’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in China. Among other risks, the Group’s operations are subject to the risks of transfer of funds; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.

NOTE 10. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax is as follows:

    For the year ended March 31,  
    2010     2009  
             
Current:            
PRC $  6,511,502   $  4,658,836  
Deferred:            
PRC   337,936     (531,259 )
  $  6,849,438   $  4,127,577  

Deferred tax assets

The source of significant temporary difference that gives rise to the deferred tax asset is as follows:

    For the year ended March 31,  
    2010     2009  
Deferred tax assets:            
   Difference between book and tax basis of land use right and $  1,068,878   $  1,406,814  
   property and equipment            
   Tax losses carryforwards   913,721     544,868  
   Less: valuation allowance   (913,721 )   (544,868 )
   Net deferred tax assets $  1,068,878   $  1,406,814  

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all of the assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in each tax jurisdiction during the periods in which temporary differences in those jurisdictions become deductible. Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company has provided valuation allowances of $913,721 and $544,868 in respect of federal net operating loss and foreign unused tax loss carryforwards, respectively, which it does not expect to utilize.

Gross deferred tax assets at March 31, 2010 and 2009 were reduced by valuation allowance of $913,721 and $544,868, respectively. The total valuation allowance between periods presented increased by $368,853 (2009: $317,761) and such increase was attributable to the tax effect on foreign tax losses incurred for the year ended March 31, 2010 of $56,757 (2009: $34,274) at enacted foreign profit tax rates and the tax effect on federal net operating loss incurred for the year ended March 31, 2010 of $312,096 (2009: $283,487) at the federal tax rate of 35%.

Income taxes

A reconciliation of the provision for income tax calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate and state and local income tax rate to the Company’s provision for income taxes for the years ended March 31 is as follows:

    2010     2009  
Provision for income taxes at statutory rate of 35% $  9,134,370   $  3,098,902  
Chinese tax rate difference   (2,536,390 )   (1,815,417 )
Non-deductible expenses and non-assessable profits   (455,331 )   3,057,590  
Changes in valuation allowance   368,853     317,761  
Tax effect of non-deductible temporary difference recognized   337,936     (531,259 )
Income taxes $  6,849,438   $  4,127,577  

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred a non-cash charge for stock compensation expense of $9,519,317, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

F - 39


Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of undistributed earnings or income tax payable in the event the Company repatriated all undistributed foreign earnings. However, if these earnings were distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, offset by an adjustment for foreign tax credits.

NOTE 11. OTHER PAYABLES AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Other payables and accrued expenses by major categories are summarized as follows at March 31:

    2010     2009  
             
Accruals $  723,588   $  586,782  
Value added tax payables   1,104,630     1,034,195  
Other payables   551,028     1,055,006  
  $  2,379,246   $  2,675,983  

The other payables mainly comprised the amount payable to the suppliers of property and equipment, amounting to $398,056 (2009: $960,544) as of March 31, 2010.

NOTE 12. DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

                                                                                                                                                                                              2010     2009  
             
Mr. Yiu Fai Kung $  -   $  5,185,423  
Mr. Kwan Mo Ng   -     2,222,325  
  $  -   $  7,407,748  

The amounts due to shareholders were unsecured, interest free and had no fixed terms of repayment. During the year, the amount had been capitalized into additional paid-in capital. (Note 13)

NOTE 13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

General

The Company’s total authorized capital at March 31, 2010 and 2009, is 125,000,000 shares of which 120,000,000 shares are common stock of par value $0.001 and 5,000,000 shares are preferred stock of par value $0.001.

Additional paid-in capital

On September 7, 2009, Mr. Kung agreed to capitalize his loan, of HK$40,109,986, equivalents to US$5,190,497, by issuing 7 fully paid shares of par value US$1.00 in Fezdale to the Company.

On September 7, 2009, Mr. Kwan Ho Ng agreed to capitalize his loan, of HK$17,189,994, equivalents to US$2,224,498, by issuing 3 fully paid shares of par value US$1.00 in Fezdale to the Company.

Series A Preferred Stock

In connection with the first closing of Private Placement Transaction on September 30, 2009, certain investors received 359,502 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

In connection with the second and final closing of Private Placement Transaction on October 8, 2009, certain investors received 43,916 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. A summary of terms of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

Ranking

F -40


With respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and any other classes or series of stock of the Company not designated as ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Voting

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, together with the common stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to the Company’s shareholders, except as required by Nevada law.

Conversion

Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are optionally convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate calculated by dividing (A) $33.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference Amount") by (B) the conversion price, which is initially $3.30 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. Initially, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock.

Mandatory Conversion

The Company may convert outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon (i) the closing of a sale by the Company of shares of common stock in a registered public offering in which the Company sells shares of its stock for at least $10 million in gross proceeds and the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are able to offer and sell at least 50% of the common stock that would be received upon such mandatory conversion ("Qualified Sale") or (ii) when the average of the daily closing price of the common stock for at least 30 consecutive trading days is not less than $4.25 and the daily trading volume during each of those 30 trading days exceeds 75,000 shares (a "Market Forced Conversion," and collectively with a Qualified Sale, a "Forced Conversion"). The conversion rate to be applied in effecting a Forced Conversion is calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference Amount per share by $2.75 (in the event of a Qualified Sale) or $3.30 (in the event of a Market Forced Conversion), as the case may be, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. In addition, in connection with a Qualified Sale Forced Conversion, the Company will pay to the holder for each share of Series A Preferred Stock so converted a per share amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the original issue price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends

(II) Management Structure


  III Risk Factors
         
    (I) The operation risk of the Group
         
    1.

The negative impact of financial turmoil upon the global consumption demands

Despite the stable growth of demands in China, the financial turmoil of 2009 swept across the whole world, caused the global economic recession, and may negatively affect our business and operating performance. First it affects the Group’s ability to raise fund from the capital market. The economic crisis may also cause decrease of consumers’ disposable income and purchasing power for consumer products, which may affect our business and operating results.

         
    2.

Product liability claim and quality assurance

         
   

Quality and safety of raw materials is vital for food industry. The pollution or deterioration of raw materials may cause product damage. Any product recall or the payment for the consumer’s claims will affect the reputation and operation of the Company. The recall of a single product can lead to significant loss of the Company, including reduced income and destruction of inventory.

5


         
    3.

Price fluctuation of raw materials

A secure supply of raw materials is crucial to our operations. In fiscal year 2010, fresh fruits accounted for approximately 74% of total cost of goods sold. The per unit costs of producing our products are subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, especially fresh fruits which are affected by factors such as weather and growing condition. Increase in price of fresh fruits will affect our operating income and profit margin. The Group closely cooperated with local governments and the farmers in order to obtain the high-quality raw materials by setting up the stable supply chain. Currently, the supply of golden berries is sourced from two farms, with both of which the Group has entered into cooperative agreements in order to secure sufficient supplies. In future, the Group will continuously endeavor to increase the sources of raw materials in order to reduce the impact of raw materials price fluctuation on business, financial situation, operation performance and prospects of the Group.

    4.

Change in fruit cost and quality

The availability, size, quality and cost of source fruits for the production of our products are subject to operational risks inherent to farming, such as poor weather and growing conditions, pest and other factors beyond our control. The prices of our fresh source fruits and other raw materials are generally determined by the market, and may change at any time. Increases in prices for any of these raw materials could have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve profitability.

Currently, we source our fresh golden berries primarily from two fruit farms pursuant to cooperation agreements with Hailun and Nehe local governments and other fruits from agents who procure fruit for us from individual farmers. While we believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials and that we in general maintain good supplier relationships, if we are unable to continue to find adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us, it will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

    5.

Establishment and maintenance of brand reputation

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brand. Although the Group has established its own brand “Long Zhen Zhi Guan,” it is too early in the product life cycle of the brand to determine whether our products and brand will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Our Group is committed to maintaining stable and excellent product quality, and improving the acceptance level by the distributors and retail consumers.

6


         
    6.

Change in consumers’ preference

We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences. As a result, our Group’s operation performance is closely related to our ability to forecast or adapt to the variation of consumers’ preference. The failure to timely respond to consumers’ feedbacks may lead to lower product demand and sales price, which will negatively impact the Group’s business, financial situation and operating performance.

    7.

Reliance on distributors for product sale

We do not sell our products directly to end customers. Instead, we rely on third-party distributors for the sale and distribution of our products. As of September 30, 2010, this network comprised approximately 38 distributors. We typically do not enter into long-term agreements with distributors and have no control over their everyday business activities. To the extent that our distributors are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors will primarily depend on three factors: (i) the level of demand for our brand and products in a particular distribution area; (ii) our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those offered by competing products and (iii) our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors.

We enter into new distribution agreements at the beginning of each year and we currently do not have long-term sales agreement with distributors. Our distribution agreements do not have any assurance as to the level of performance and performance in different geographic areas. The expansion and establishment of more diversified marketing channels are what we want to strive for in future.

    8.

Failure to execute the business expansion plan will affect the financial situation and operating performance of the Group

We are currently building a new fruit and vegetable powder facility which is expected to start production in fiscal year 2011. Our decision to increase our production capacity may increase our sales volume, but if actual customer demand does not meet our projections, we will likely suffer overcapacity problems, which may reduce our overall profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to add production capacity and increase output is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including: (1) the unavailability of additional funding to expand our production capacity, purchase additional fixed assets and purchase raw materials; (2) delays and cost overruns as a result of factors such as problems with equipment vendors and suppliers of raw materials; (3) failure to maintain high quality control standards; (4) shortage of source fruits; (5) inability to obtain required approvals by relevant government authorities; (6) diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and (7) failure to execute our expansion plan effectively. As our business grows, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting functions, and improvements to our record keeping and contract tracking system. We will need to continue to enhance existing products and develop new products, recruit more personnel and train, manage our growing employee base, and maintain and expand our relationships with our current and future customers, suppliers, distributors. If we encounter any of the risks described above, our business, financial condition, results of operations may be adversely affected.

7


         
    9.

Effect of seasonality on business

The fruit processing industry is subject to the seasonal factor and harvest season. Majority of production time happens during fruits harvesting season, lasting from mid July to mid November. Our sales revenue concentrates in the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, which accounted for approximately 26.5%, 24.4% and 36.3% of the total revenue in fiscal year 2010, respectively. A reduction in sales revenues in these three quarters will negatively affect the full-year operating performance.

    10.

Due to rapid growth of the Group, evaluating our future business and prospects may be difficult

Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years as demonstrated by our growth in net sales for fiscal year 2010 to $72.9 million from $56.4 million in fiscal year 2009. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Therefore, investors should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

    11.

Reliance on key senior management personnel

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our senior management personnel, including Changjun Yu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Colman Cheng, our Chief Financial Officer. None of these key management members currently owns any shares of common stock or any other equity interest in the Company. Although they have signed employment agreements which include a non-competition provision which prohibits them from engaging in the food processing industry during the term of the agreement and for two years after the termination of employment, if we lose any of these key employees and are unable to find a qualified replacement in a timely manner, our business will be negative impacted.

8



         
    12.

The Group’s major shareholders do not participate in the management of the Group’s business

         
   

The major shareholders of the Group, Mr. Yiu Fai Kung and Mr. Kwan Mo Ng, currently own approximately 79% voting shares. However, neither Mr. Kung nor Mr. Ng is an executive officer or director of the Company and is not a participant in any way in the day to day affairs of the Company. Therefore, when Mr. Yiu Fai Kung and Mr. Kwan Mo Ng exercise their voting rights at the shareholders’ meeting, they may not make the decision for the best interests of the company or other minority shareholders.

         
    13.

Risk associated with inability to protect trademark and trade secrets

         
   

The Group’s trademark and trade secrets are very valuable and have substantial impact on the success of our operation. The Group relies on a combination of trademark, patent, trade secret and contractual provisions to protect the Group’s intellectual property rights. Inability to protect the Group’s intellectual property will damage the Group’s brand reputation and competitiveness. In addition, while the Group will use its financial and management resources to protect the Group’s intellectual property rights such as trademark, copyrights and trade secrets, there can be no assurance any third party will not to infringe upon or misappropriate the Group’s trademark, copyrights, patents and trade secrets. Relevant infringement litigation will incur significant litigation expenses, and affect the Group’s product sales and profitability.

         
    14.

Limited scope of insurance policy

         
   

Operation of our facilities involves many risks, including equipment failures, natural disasters, industrial accidents, power outages, labor disturbances and other business interruptions. Furthermore, if any of our products are faulty, then we may become subject to product liability claims or we may have to engage in a product recall. We do not carry any business interruption insurance, product recall or third-party liability insurance. Therefore, our existing insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks associated with our business. As a result, we may be required to pay for financial and other losses, damages and liabilities out of our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         
    (II)

Risks related to the industry

         
    1.

Intense market competition

9


Chinese fruit processing and fruit juice market is entering into the growing phase, and more and more competitors are entering into the market. Companies must actively improve production technologies and increase sales network. Meanwhile, Chinese fruit juice market recently attracted many international companies (reputable multinationals) possessing advanced technology, experience and sound reputation, to invest or establish partnership. The fierce competition may drive down price and profit and increase selling expenses, which may negatively impact upon our profitability.

    2.

Increasingly stricter food safety law and other laws

Chinese food manufactures must strictly abide by the food safety law and relevant regulations, and our production, packaging and labeling are subject to such regulations. In addition, companies’ production and operation are also regulated by the environmental protection laws and regulations. The increase in the number of, or the introduction of stricter, relevant laws and regulations, promulgated by Chinese government may lead to substantial capital or additional expenses, which will affect the financial situation and operating performance of the Group.

    3.

Failure to obtain licenses and permits

According to Chinese laws and regulations, companies must obtain multiple licenses and permits, including but not limited to hygiene permit, food production license and industrial product permit, to operate an enterprise production base. The production processes must comply with the relevant hygiene and food safety standards, and properties and vehicles must pass the regular inspections of regulatory authorities. The failure of passing the inspections, or updating or obtaining the licenses and permits may lead to temporary or permanent suspension of certain or all production activities, which will negatively impact our profitability.

(III) Risks relating to China

Both the production facilities of our Group and our major suppliers are located in China. Therefore, the operation and assets of this Group will be affected by the changes or development in Chinese politics, economy, laws and regulations.

    1.

Chinese Political and Economic Systems

Since 1978, Chinese government has started to reform its economic and political systems, which resulted in rapid growth of its economy. The major differences between China and other economic systems are as follows: (1) high government involvement; (2) at the preliminary stage of market-oriented economic development; (3) rapid growth; (4) strict foreign exchange control; and (5) resource allocation system.

10


With the transformation of economic system from a planned economic system to a market-oriented economic system, Chinese government has actively adopted many measures, some of which will promote economic growth, some of which, however, may adversely affect this Group, including government’s control on resource allocation, monetary policies and foreign exchange control. Any adverse change in political and economic policies may affect the business, financial situation, business performance and prospect of the Group.

    2.

Changes in Chinese Laws and Regulations

Since 1979, China has promulgated many laws and regulations and their supplementary regulating economic and business operation matters, but Chinese legal system is still at the developing stage comparing with that of other developed countries. In respect of many Chinese laws and regulations, only general principles are promulgated initially and then Chinese government formulates implementation rules which are amended and improved successively. The Group may be harmed due to changes in laws or regulations in China, including relevant land tax, import and export duty, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe our Group’s operation in China is in material compliance with the applicable laws and regulations; however, if central or local government implements stricter regulations or reinterprets existing regulations, our Group may incur additional costs. The Group is committed to continuous compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The interpretation of Chinese laws and regulations may be affected by changes in policies due to local political and social changes. The production facilities and products of the Group are subject to the laws and regulations of the State Administration for Industry & Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, the State Administration of Taxation of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China, the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China, and the State Food and Drug Administration of the People’s Republic of China which mainly regulates food processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, labeling, quality and food safety. If the Group fails to comply with relevant laws and regulations, it will be imposed with administrative penalty and civil liabilities, including fine, ban and product recall.

Furthermore, it may be difficult to enforce foreign legal judgment in China. The Group is a holding company established in Nevada, the United States, while all assets are located outside of the United States. All the operations of our Group are located in China and most of our directors and management reside outside of the United States with assets outside of the United States. Therefore, when a litigation judgment is made in the United States, it will be relatively difficult to enforce civil judgment on the Group. Moreover, the acknowledgement and enforcement of foreign judgments in China must be made in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China. Therefore, the Group has no assurance whether Chinese Government will enforce judgment made by courts of the United States. When the judgments made by the courts of foreign countries violate the fundamental principles of Chinese laws or jeopardize national sovereignty, national security or social benefit of China, courts of China will not enforce judgments made by courts of foreign countries either.

11


With the development of Chinese legal system, new laws promulgated in future or improvement and amendment to existing laws may affect foreign investors. Since the National People’s Congress amended the Constitution to allow foreign investors to come to China in 1982, the laws promulgated in China, in general, have been able to enhance the protection for foreign enterprises. However, the uncertainties involved in changes of laws and regulations and the lengthy judicial proceedings in China may incur extra expenses and resource consumption. Although the Group currently strictly complies with the laws and regulations of food safety and hygiene, changes in laws and regulations in future may affect the operation and financial situation of the Group.

    3.

Inflation Risk

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 5.9% and as low as -0.8%. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

    4.

Foreign Exchange Control and RMB Exchange Rate Fluctuation

In China, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is still restricted. In accordance with the “Regulations on Exchange Control” and the “Regulation regarding the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange”, foreign investors may withdraw foreign currencies from their foreign currency accounts or convert RMB into foreign currencies through banks that have permission to conduct foreign exchange business in China to remit or distribute profits or dividends; foreign invested companies are permitted to convert RMB into foreign currencies under the “current account,” (including distribution of dividends to foreign investors), providing that they submit relevant documents required for such transactions. For RMB exchange under “capital account,” such as investment abroad or engagement in overseas issuance or trading of securities and derivatives, is required to register the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”), and obtain pre-approval from or make necessary filings with the relevant government authorities in accordance with the applicable laws and regulation before such registration with the relevant SAFE branch. Therefore, if the Group fails to obtain the approval for converting RMB into foreign currencies for the above-mentioned purpose, its capital expenditure plan, even its business and finance, may be adversely affected.

12


The Group’s sales revenue and expenses are settled in RMB, while our financial report is made in USD. Therefore, the appreciation or depreciation of RMB may affect the business, financial situation and business performance of the Group.

    5.

Increase of Labor Costs in China

As Chinese economy marches into the transformation phase, the growth of working-age population has slowed down gradually and there is imbalance in supply and demand of labor in the region, resulting in a future trend of increasing labor costs. Since 2008, the labor contract law has been implemented in China, which regulates social insurance, training cost, and vacation, and reward and punishment standards. Pursuant to such law, companies are required to enter into labor contracts with workers. Relevant provisions increase the labor costs. The main production costs of the Group are raw material and labor costs. The overall increase of labor wages will increase the business costs of the Group and affect the financial situation and operating performance of the Group.

    6.

Restriction of Dividend Distribution by Subsidiaries in China by Chinese Laws May Affect the Growth of the Group

Substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiary Daqing LongHeDa. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by our PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends, therefore, may have negative impact on our growth, investment or merger and acquisition activities.

    7.

The complicated procedures of Chinese merger and acquisition law will affect the merger and acquisition activities of the Group in China

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies promulgated the Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rule”) which became effective on September 8, 2006 and amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce (the “MOFCOM”) be notified in advance by foreign investors. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we do not have any plans to do so at this time. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

13


         
    8.

Uncertainty from ‘the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Share Transfer (“Circular 698”) of PRC

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country (jurisdiction) where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor must provide the PRC tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfer.

Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through the “abuse of form of organization” and there are no reasonable commercial purposes for such form with the result that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the PRC tax authorities shall have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with the “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of an offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes.

“Income derived from equity transfers” as mentioned in this circular refers to income derived by non-resident enterprises from direct or indirect transfers of equity interest in China resident enterprises, excluding shares in Chinese resident enterprises that are bought and sold openly on the stock exchange.

The relevant PRC tax authorities have not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the offshore country (jurisdiction) and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the PRC tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. Meanwhile, there are not any formal declarations with regard to how to decide “abuse of form of organization” and “reasonable commercial purpose,” which can be utilized by us to determine if our company complies with the Circular 698.

14


         
    9.

 The Group may be classified as “resident enterprise” in accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax Law in China, which may result in adverse tax consequences

China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies (the “Notice”) further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC stockholders. However, detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are still unavailable. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent reasonably possible. If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

    2.

 Risk and Uncertainty Involved in Forward-looking Statements Contained in This Offering Circular

Many forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular, such as “estimate”, “believe”, “may”, “expect”, “forecast”, “plan”, “should”, “will” or other similar statements, are viewpoints of the Group or the management of the Group based on the past or current situation of our business operation. However, such forward-looking statements may not occur or be realized in the manner as expected due to certain risks, uncertain factors, changes in national economic environment or market. Except as required by laws, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

    (V)

Risk Relating to the Liquidity of TDRs

    
   

Prior to this public offering, there has been no public market for our TDRs. Once listed, our TDRs will not be traded in any other market except for the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In accordance with Paragraph 4, Clause 7, Article 50 of the “Operating Rules of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation,” the Taiwan Stock Exchange may terminate the listing of TDRs upon approval from relevant government authorities if the total number of outstanding TDRs is less than 10,000,000 units for three consecutive months, and no issuance of necessary additional TDRs is completed within three months after receipt of notice from the Taiwan Stock Exchange. If the number of our outstanding TDRs is less than the number as described above, the listing of our TDRs may be terminated. The Group cannot provide any guaranty for the liquidity and sustainability of our TDR market, TDR holders’ ability to sell our TDRs and the prices at which our TDRs may be sold.

16


       
    (VI)

Risk Relating to the Voting Right of TDR Holders

Holders of TDRs may only exercise their voting rights with respect to the underlying Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement and cannot cast votes directly or individually. Under the deposit agreement, if the depository bank receives the same instruction from holders representing more than half of total outstanding units of TDRs for one proposal (the “Holders’ Instruction”) before the stipulated deadline, the depository bank will attend the shareholder meeting or entrust custodian bank to attend shareholder meeting representing all votes with respect to the underlying Common Stock, and (1) if the proposal is voted at the meeting by a show of hands, the depository bank or the custodian bank will vote all underlying shares of Common Stock represented by the TDRs in accordance to the Holders’ Instruction; or (2) in the event of poll voting, the depository bank or the custodian bank will fill in separate ballots in accordance with the instructions from holders of TDR with respect to the underlying Common Stock. If the depository bank fails to receive the same instruction from holders of TDRs representing more than half of total outstanding units of TDRs for one proposal before the stipulated deadline, the depository bank or the custodian entity will give a discretionary proxy to Company’s chairman or his designated person with respect to all underlying Common Stock represented by the TDRs. In such case, the chairman or his designated person’s interest in voting such shares may not align with the interest of TDR holders.

    (VII)

Risks relating to Inconsistency between Laws and Judicial Systems of the United States and the Republic of China

The Group is incorporated in the state of Nevada, U.S. and listed on the NYSE Amex. Due to the differences between the laws and judicial systems of the United States and those of the Republic of China, TDR holders may neglect to or incapable of timely exercising their rights due to insufficient understanding on the laws of the United States.

Market overview

   

1. Status and development of the industry

The Group produces and markets food products processed from premium specialty fruits including golden berry, crab-apple, blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn. Our main products are fruit processed products and concentrate juice, all of the Company’s revenue is generated in China. An overview of the fruit processing and juice drink industry is as follows:

(1) Fruit processing

China is a large fruit production country with top annual production volume in the world. The cultivation and plantation of various fruits are also growing rapidly. However, as the supply of fresh fruit increases and concentrates in picking seasons, many fruits are lost if not sold on timely basis. Therefore, the government actively supports and promotes the fruit processing industry and improvement in fruit processing technology. These will not only ease regional problem on production and sales, but also improve the added value of fruit products and satisfy different level of requirements of consumers. Fruit processed products have become mainstream food favored by consumers, and processed fruit products are becoming more diversified, which range from juice, jam, candied fruit, jelly and fruit powder. Due to its strength of abundant fruit sources and competitive labor cost, China takes its place in global fruit processing industry, and will continue to improve its brand, technology, quality and service in the future.

Nectar and grain of fresh fruits are suitable for production and processing of drinks, foods, cakes, candies, dairy food and nectar-type jam. According to statistics by Beijing Business & Intelligence Consulting Co. Ltd. (”BBIC”), supply of nectar and fruit grain in China was merely 400,000 tons in 2007, while the market demand reached 480,000 tons. With the increased demands from the food processing industry, demands for nectar and fruit grain in China reached 570,000 tons in 2009. The phenomenon of short supply of nectar and fruit grain may continue in coming few years.

The Group manufactures and sells various types of fruit products, and our processed products are mainly processed from high quality premium specialty fruits grown in the northeastern part of China, including golden berries, crab-apples, blueberries and raspberries, etc. As compared to common fruits, premium specialty fruits are superior in their nutrition, health effect, natural flavor and lack of pollution. Therefore, premium specialty fruits have greater potential in terms of development of green food and health food. Premium specialty fruits are mainly processed into high value-added products. China’s premium specialty fruit processing market has just got started and has large room for future growth. We believe we are a leading specialty premium fruit processor in China.

Golden berry is a member of plant family Solanaceae. It’s scientific name is Physalis peruviana and is also known as Hongguniang. It is round in shape, golden in color, sweet in taste, and contains eight vitamins and rich in cellulose. Its nutrition value is high and is the best natural food material. As golden berries are sensitive to various factors such as climate, temperature and soil, approximately 98% of quality golden berries in China is grown in Heilongjiang province, which has four distinctive seasons. Heilongjiang plants approximately 350,000 acres of golden berries with annual yield of approximately 200,000 tons which are mainly made into candied fruits, jam and canned products. The added value after further processing can be increased by 3-4.5 times for candied fruit, 3-5 times for jams, and 5-7 times for canned products. As demands for natural juice and juice drinks increase, the market is expected to grow in future.

Crab-apple belongs to malus genus, is also known as high-acidity small apples, and most suitable for being processed into concentrate juice. Crab-apple is a fruit with sweet and sour flavors and rich nutrition, and contains multiple vitamins, minerals, trace elements and sugar. In addition to being consumed directly, crab-apples can also be made into different products such as juice, candied fruit, jam and fruit wine. It has great market potential. Crab-apples mainly grow in the northeastern part of China and Inner Mongolia, which are rich in land resource. In recent years, as high-acidity apples are in short supply in international market, their added value increases significantly. Added value after further processing can be increased by 3-5 times for juice products, 2-3 times for candied fruit products and 4-6 times for fruit wines.

Blueberry contains substance which has the unique effect of preventing cranial nerve from aging, enhancing cardiac function, improving eyesight and resisting cancer, and is rated by the Food and Agriculture Organization as one of the five healthy foods for human beings. In recent years, blueberries are popular with consumers as a healthy and functional food in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Chile and many European countries. Blueberry is one of the most expensive fruits in European, the U.S. and Japanese markets, is highly capable of being processed and can be made into many processed products. Blueberries mainly grow in Da Hinggan Mountains forest region, Xiao Hinggan Mountains forest region and Changbai Mountain forest region in the northeastern part of China. According to research data, an acre of blueberry can generate income of about RMB 30,000, over 20 times than that from common fruits such as apples and peaches. Further processed fruit powder has added value as high as 6-8 times, while the added value of jam and juice product can reach 4-6 times.

Raspberry is a delicious eating fruit, also known as palm leaf raspberry fruit, and can be processed into fruit wine, jam, juice and glazed fruit. Raspberry is also a nectar plant and medicinal plant. Its root, stem and leaves have medicinal effect, including relieving thirst, eliminating phlegm, inducing perspiration and invigorating blood circulation, its market prospect is promising. Globally, raspberry is still in short supply, the global production is around 400,000 tons while global demand is over 2 million tons. From geographic distribution, developed markets of Europe and the U.S., and emerging markets in Asia-Pacific takes equal stake. There are over 750 raspberry varieties in the world and among which about 200 of them are in China, mainly in the northeastern, northern and northwestern areas, particularly in Heilongjiang province. Further processed juice products have stronger competitiveness with added value as high as 6-9 times. The added value of jam remains 2.5 -5 times due to its lower market demand.

Heilongjiang province of China is rich in fruit resources available for development and utilization. According to BBIC, Helongjiang’s golden berry production reaches 200,000 tons, represents 98% of the total production in China and is on the rise year on year; its wild blueberry production reaches hundreds of thousands tons and represents over 90% of total production in China; its raspberry production reaches over 100,000 tons, and its crab-apple production exceeds 700,000 tons per annum. In recent years, development and utilization of blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn grow rapidly and cultivation and plantation of blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn also grow rapidly.

Based on statistics for the import and export of further processed fruit products for the past several years, China has trade surplus in further processed fruit products, as its export volume is much higher than its import volume. In terms of export, due to financial crisis in 2008, the export volume from China on further processed fruit products recorded a decrease for the first time in four years. Recovery in 2009 drove the rebound of demands and export volume rose to 1,217,600 tons. For import, with an annual import volume under 10,000 tons, China has low demand for foreign further processed fruit products. However, the import value increased gradually in recent years, demonstrating that Chinese consumers maintain robust demands for imported further processed fruit products.

(2) Juice

Over the past ten years, China’s drink market maintained growing momentum and became more diversified. As China’s per capita income increases and consumers raise their awareness of health, there is an obvious trend of substituting carbonated drinks with non-carbonated drinks, while juice drink is the main non-carbonated drink product in the market.

According to Euromonitor, over the past ten years, China’s drink market maintained its growth with a CAGR of 13.6% and there is no sign of slowing down on growth rate. At the same time the market became more diversified. In 2008, carbonated drinks owned the largest market share in soft drink market in China, followed by fruit juice and tea drinks. Over the past five years, juice drinks had the fastest growth, followed by tea drinks.

Note: RTD Tea means ready-to-drink tea; Nectars means drinks with high juice content.

Population growth also contributed to the global demands, particularly in Africa and Asia. It is estimated that global annual consumption of juice and juice drinks will rise from 33 billion liters in 1997 to 73.6 billion liters in 2020, and demands for concentrate juice, pulp and jam will also be doubled from the current 3.5 million tons.

Due to consumers’ growing demands for healthy drink in China, compound fruit and vegetable juice drink became important products in Chinese drink market in 2009. Such factor combined with the industry’s promotion of such products as healthy drinks, created positive image of fruit and vegetable juice drinks among consumers which drives the growing demand for such products. According to the BBIC Report, annual juice consumption per capita is 45 liters in the U.S., 46 liters in Germany, 16 liters in Japan and 19 liters in Singapore, and 7 liters globally on average, while the annual juice consumption per capita is less than 1 liter in China. This indicates that China’s per capita juice consumption is far lower than global level and there is a strong potential for development in overall juice market. In addition, with the changing life style in China driven by the growing income, consumers will pay more attention to health. As fruit and vegetable juice products have been promoted as replenishing nutrition, it will continuously promote consumption of fruit and vegetable juice in China in 2010.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) increased from RMB12.0 trillion in 2002 to RMB 33.5 trillion in 2007. According to a report issued by the World Bank in March 2010, it is estimated that China’s GDP will grow at an annual growth rate of 9.5% in 2010.

China’s economic growth leads to increase in disposable household income. Urban household disposable income rose from RMB 7,703 in 2002 to RMB 17,175 in 2009, with a CAGR of 12.1%. Rural household disposable income rose from RMB 2,476 in 2002 to RMB 5,153 in 2009, with a CAGR of 11.0%. In 2009, per capita annual living expenditure of urban households and rural households were RMB16,402 and RMB3,927, respectively, which indicated the steady increase of domestic demands and rapid increase of overseas demands following the strong economic growth in China. Demands for fruit processed products will also continue to expand as people’s living standard improves.

Future development

(1) Safety and hygiene

In 2009, under the pressure of food safety, China’s fruit processing industry started establishing a comprehensive and sound processing standards and total quality control system, accelerated research and development of technologies and apparatus fast testing and other processing technologies, actively adopted multiple safety and hygiene technologies, including membrane separation technology, physical modification technology, aseptic cold filing technology, cold pressing technology, concentration technology and cold chain.

(2) Health and nature

As their living standard improves, consumers improve their consumption concept and consumption quality. Fruit processed products, including canned fruits, jam and juice all pursue product position as natural and healthy. Based on the international development path of juice drink, natural and high-juice-content juice drink will become inevitable trend. High-juice-content fruits and vegetable drinks are rich in mineral substances and other natural nutritious ingredients, contain no or relatively fewer compound food addictives.

42


(3) Diversification and multiple purposes

Companies have to continuously develop new products to be successful in the juice drink market which features numerous varieties and fierce competition. In recent years, compound juice drink, and fruit and vegetable juice drink develop rapidly in developed countries. Many products are popular in overseas market. Common drinks available in the market include pineapple juice, orange juice and compound juice drinks which are mixture of tropical fruit juice and different vegetable juice.

Fruit and vegetable juice drink will emerge as a new trend in future. In order to be well accepted in consumer market, fruit and vegetable compound juice, as high-end juice drinks, the company has to change the tendency of over-pursuing low cost and simple process, but has to control product quality and improve packaging and product quality.

Glazed fruit 

Glazed fruit is a popular tradition Chinese snack with high sugar content
having a long shelf life. After vacuum packaged, we sell the products to distributors who will divide them into smaller packages and sell them to

 

China or export them to the overseas under their own brand names.

Nectar

Nectar is an unfermented and unconcentrated pulp product. To produce nectar, fresh fruits are crushed and then instantaneously sterilized under high temperature without adding any additives other than citric acid. It preserves the nutritional value and flavor of the fresh fruit and elongates shelf life. Distributors dilute them into fruit stuffing or jam using their formulas or resell the products to food processing factories to be used as ingredients for other foods (such as candies and biscuits), and sold in China or exported to the overseas under their own brand names.

pulp

Primary source fruits for concentrate pulp are apples or pears. We engage third party to process concentrate pulp containing nectar and then sell the products to distributors, who dilute the concentrate into juice drinks using their own formulas, or resell the concentrate to food processing factories where they will become ingredients of other foods (such as candies and biscuits), sold in China or exported to the overseas under their own brand names.

Fresh fruits

We directly sell fresh golden berries to our distributors during the picking season from mid July to mid November every year. We purchase fresh golden berries from local farmers in Heilongjiang province and categorize them into different grades by their freshness, color, shape and fragrance. The Top-grade golden berries are sold as fresh fruit.

Production process (1) Fruit concentrate


3. Supply of raw materials

The Group produces specialty premium fruit based products, including primarily golden berries, crab-apples, blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrant and seabuckthorn, etc. All our raw materials are purchased in China, mainly from local farmers in the northeastern part of China. The Group has entered into supply contracts with the local governments of Gonghe Town of Hailun City and Changfa Town of Nehe City for the procurement of golden berries, to further secure our advantage of accessing raw materials. These two towns are located in the eastern and western side of Heilongjiang province respectively, which permits the Group to avoid certain risks of short supply due to natural disasters such as climate change. For the procurement of other fruits, the Group has established cooperation with a large group of agents to assist us in purchasing fruits from farmers, so as to maintain stable source of quality raw materials and to establish long-term relationship with main suppliers.

4. Procurement overview


The Group produces specialty premium fruit based products, including primarily golden berries, crab-apples, blueberries, raspberries blackcurrant and seabuckthorn. All our materials are mainly purchased from local farmers in the northeastern part of China. In addition, we have entered into supply contracts with the local governments of Gonghe Town of Hailun City and Changfa Town of Nehe City. As shown in the chart above, as farmers, farmer cooperative organizations or agents individually deliver fresh fruits to the Group, no single farmer, farmer cooperative organization or agent accounts for a material portion of our total purchase amount of raw materials. Accordingly, in the last two years, there was no supplier representing over 10% of our total purchase amount.

Note: Our fiscal year starts from April 1 of the previous year and ends on March 31 of the current year.

1. Main reasons for material change in net sales, gross profit and income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes:

Our net sales increased USD 16,498,118, or 29.24% to USD 72,916,955 in fiscal year 2010 from USD 56,418,837 in fiscal year 2009, mainly due to increase of sales volume resulting from growth in a health conscious population and a rise in per capita disposable income in China. Gross margin increased year-over-year as net sales increased due to effective cost control and improved product mix. In addition, cost of source fruits accounted for above 70% of the total cost of sales, as our facilities are close to fruit orchards and we maintain close relationship with local farmers, we can have relatively effective control of the price and quantity of our source fruits. Our gross margin was 43.68% and 45.62% for fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, respectively.

Our income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes was USD 8,854,005 and USD 26,098,198 for fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, respectively. We incurred a non-cash compensation expense of USD 9,519,317 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 due to release of certain shares of common stock from an escrow account in connection with the make good arrangement, as a result, our income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes was only USD 8,854,005 for fiscal year 2009. Our income before noncontrolling interests and income taxes for fiscal year 2010 increased to USD 26,098,198 benefiting from continuous growth in sales and effective cost control.

59


2. Expected sales volume and its basis:

We have five production lines, and plan to add a new fruit and vegetable powder production line and a multi-purpose concentrate juice/pulp production line in fiscal year 2011. Our efforts in upgrading our production equipment, improving productivity and utilization rate, active implementation of our business plan and launch of new productions such as the fruit and vegetable powder will contribute to our sale volume growth. Our net sales are expected to reach USD 90-95 million and net income is expected to reach USD 22-23 million in fiscal year 2011.

3. Possible effect on future financial conditions and action plan:

The Group will pay close attention to changes in market demand and market trend to expand market share and improve profitability.

(1) FY 2008: Net cash and cash equivalent from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities increases by USD 7,104,849 in total, largely due to cash inflow from operating activities resulting from increase in accounts receivables; cash outflow from financing activities resulted from repayment of bank loans.

60


(2) FY 2009: Net cash and cash equivalent from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities decreases by USD 2,336,307 in total, largely due to increase in cash outflow from investing activities as a result of the acquisition of equity interest in Daqing LongHeDa, and the acquisition and construction of the fruit concentrate production line; cash inflow from financing activities resulted from a USD 7,284,285 of net proceeds from private placement of shares of common stock in October 2008, USD 7,370,153 of capital contribution converted shareholder loan, which more than offset the repayment of bank loans in amount of USD 2,906,757.

(3) FY 2010: Net cash and cash equivalent from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities increased by USD 31,225,901 in total, largely due to increase in cash inflow from operating activities as a result of the increase in profit; cash outflow from investing activities resulted from the purchase and construction of glazed fruit production line which more than offset proceeds from disposal of beverage production line; and cash inflow from financing activities resulted from USD 12,214,721 of net proceeds from private placement of convertible preferred stock in October 2009.

2. Improvement plan for insufficient liquidity: None.

(IV) Related Party transactions

There was no related party transaction since January 1, 2009 to the publication date of the Offering Circular.

IV. Other material matters:

  

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. As we are currently qualified as a smaller reporting company, we are currently exempt from the auditor attestation requirement.

I. Matters Requiring Attention in connection with Restrictions on Securities Transactions by Foreigner Nationals, Tax Liability and Payment, of the Foreign Issuer's Home Country and Country in which Its Shares Are Listed

* Statements in this section about issues concerning restriction, tax liability and payment in respect of securities transactions by foreigners in the country of incorporation and the country of listing (the United State) are prepared by the Company in accordance with law and regulation effective at the time of filing. Holders of TDR shall be cautioned that the laws and regulations of the United States are subject to change from time to time and may be inconsistent with the description below. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION WHICH A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR WOULD CONSIDER MATERIAL. THIS IS NOT LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE. Prospective investor shall consult his/her own legal or tax advisor and refer to the then current U.S. statutes.

  63


I. Restrictions and issues on stock trading by foreigners

Before the TDRs are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, we will register the TDRs and underlying shares of common stock represented by TDRs with the Securities & Exchange Commission in accordance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Holders of TDR may withdraw shares of common stock represented by TDRs in accordance with the depositary agreement and sell such shares on the NYSE Amex or through other means as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations, except that if a holder of TDR is or deemed to be the Company’s affiliate, underwriter, or broker and dealer as such terms are defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the withdrawal of TDR and sales of underlying common stock may be subject to restrictions set forth in the applicable securities laws and regulations of the United States.

In addition, any investor who is or deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5%, 10% or more of equity securities issued by the Company, may be subject to reporting obligations as set forth in Sections 13 and 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

II. Matters with regard to tax liabilities and payment by foreigners

The following description is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences for non-U.S. holders of TDRs.

Distributions. In general, any distribution we make to a non-U.S. holder (as such term is defined under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless we are treated as an “80/20 company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to shares of our TDRs that is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its TDRs or shares of our common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of the TDRs or common stock, which will be treated as described under “Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition” below.

64


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

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition. A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of TDRs or common stock, unless:

  • the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder);

  • the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met, and is not eligible for relief under an applicable income tax treaty; or

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

65


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

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. We must report annually to the United States Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of distributions on our TDRs or common stock paid to such non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to those distributions, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting those distributions and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate, and additional information reporting, however, generally will not apply to distributions to a non-U.S. holder with respect to our TDRs or common stock provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption

Payments of the proceeds from a sale by a non-U.S. holder made to or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. Information reporting may apply to such payments, however, if the broker is a U.S. person or has certain specified connections with the United States. Payment of the proceeds from the sale of our TDRs or common stock through the U.S. office of a broker is subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the non-U.S. holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

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

66


Recently Enacted Legislation Relating to Foreign Accounts

On March 18, 2010, the President of the United States signed the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act into law. Effective for payments made after December 31, 2012, this law imposes a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on distributions to, and the gross proceeds of sale in respect of our TDRs or shares of common stock by, a foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity, unless (1) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) and to withhold on certain payments and (2) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisor regarding the possible implications of this recently enacted legislation on the ownership and disposition of our TDRs or common stock.

Tax payment

Where TDR holder shall pay taxes, the depository bank and custodian shall pay such taxes on behalf the TDR holder in accordance with the depositary agreement, custody agreement and the applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our present and prior directors and officers or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation in which we own shares of capital stock or of which we are a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any actions, suits or proceedings in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of us or of such other corporation, in the absence of negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

We have issued and sold the following unregistered securities in the past three years:

On September 30, 2009 and October 8, 2009, we completed a private placement with certain accredited investors under which we sold 403,418 units at a purchase price of $33.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and one warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of our common stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of our common stock (subject to customary adjustments) and the warrants are immediately exercisable at a per share price of $3.30 (subject to customary adjustments) and have a term of four years. The warrants were issued in reliance on the Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

II-1


On October 10, 2008, we completed a private placement transaction under which we sold 3,085,840 shares of our common stock to certain Investors at $2.78 per share for a total of $8.58 million. The issuance of our shares to the Investors was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The purchasers were sophisticated investors with access to all relevant information necessary to evaluate the investment, and who represented to us that the shares were being acquired for investment.

On October 10, 2008, as part of the compensation for WLT Brothers Capital, Inc., Wentworth Securities, Inc. and Euro Pacific Capital, Inc.’s services as our placement agents for the private placement transaction described above, we issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 216,009 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.78 and have a term of 3 years. The warrants were issued in reliance on the Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On August 14, 2008 we issued 30,166,878 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Fezdale. The total consideration for the 30,166,878 shares of our common stock is 1,000 shares of Fezdale, which is all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fezdale. We did not receive any cash consideration in connection with the share exchange. The number of our shares issued to the shareholders of Fezdale was determined based on an arms-length negotiation. The issuance of our shares to these individuals was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation S promulgated thereunder

In instances described above where we issued securities in reliance upon Regulation D, we relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. These stockholders who received the securities in such instances made representations that (a) the stockholder is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) the stockholder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (c) the stockholder has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (d) the stockholder had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (e) the stockholder has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. We made the determination that the investors in instances where we relied on Regulation D are Accredited Investors (as defined in Regulation D) based upon our inquiry into their sophistication and net worth. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.

In instances described above where we indicate that we relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing securities, our reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offeree and us.

Item 17. Undertakings

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

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

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

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