Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 28, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Grain Wealth Limited (“Grain Wealth”) and its subsidiaries, Qiyang Xiangmei Food Technical and Development Co., Ltd. and Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. (“Xiangmei Food”), a frozen food producer in the People’s Republic of China, by means of a share exchange. Simultaneously with the acquisition, the Company completed a USD $3,782,393 private placement of its securities to four investors at $3.5769 per share.

BUSINESS

Overview

Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was a development stage company intending to commence business operations by pursuing a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with a company located in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”). The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 17, 2009 for the purpose of seeking investment opportunities in China. The Company’s common stock is currently not quoted on the over-the-counter market. Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company had not generated any revenue and accumulated a net loss of $110,959 for the period from inception to December 31, 2010.

Operating through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Qiyang County, Xiangmei Food Technical Research and Development Co., Ltd. located in Hunan Province of China, we are one of leading manufacturers and sellers of instant-frozen food, ice cream, glutinous rice flour and various other raw agricultural products in China. We plant, process and sell the products all across China. Through Xiangmei Food, our operations mainly include (i) planting and processing of the glutinous rice flour and other raw materials used in our major products,;and (ii) producing instant-frozen food and ice cream products within the Hunan region.

Our current corporate structure is set forth in the chart below:
 
CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Our goal is to become a worldwide supplier of instant-frozen foods and agricultural products. We have invested in our business by devoting resources to the construction of new industrial base, marketing and advertising our products, and recruiting qualified individuals. At present, we have two planting bases upon which we grow rice, black sesame and other agricultural raw materials used in our finished products. Our primary planting base occupies an area of 30,000 mu (or approximately 20,000,000 square meters) and our second base, which is under development, occupies an area of 80,000 mu (or approximately 53,330,000 square meters). We use organic fertilizer on our planting bases to ensure the generation of high quality agricultural products.

Industry Overview

Instant-frozen Food

The frozen food industry has been rapidly growing in China. The rapid growth can be attributed to governmental support and an increase in demand. Sales of frozen foods in China have steadily increased since 2006. Specifically, within the domestic frozen food industry, there has been an increase in demand for frozen dumplings, wontons, and glue pudding. These products are popular in the Chinese diet, as well as being affordable and easy to cook. We expect consumption of frozen foods in China to continue to increase. When compared to other regions of the world, the per capita consumption of frozen foods in China is relatively low. Therefore, we believe there is a very large room for growth in this industry in China.
 
Of the large instant-frozen food producers, approximately 20 are known nationally, four of which have captured the majority of the market share. The top four leading producers are San Quan, Si Nian, Long Feng, and Wan Zai Ma Tou, collectively capturing approximately 60% of the market share.

Market Overview

Frozen Food

Demands for some frozen foods vary by season. For example, March through August of each year is the peak season for ice cream sales while September through February is the peak season for sales of instant-frozen dumplings. The development of frozen food industry is further enhanced by the continuing development of refrigeration technologies. It is roughly estimated that currently around 20,000 Chinese enterprises are equipped with refrigeration facilities, most of which are capable of providing various refrigeration storage, transportation and distribution services. The export of instant-frozen products to the overseas markets, especially to the western and Asian-pacific markets, is feasible as a result of advances in refrigeration technologies and capacities.

The Chinese government has adopted a series of industrial guidance and policies which have significantly promoted the development of the frozen food industry in China. According to data from the China General Chamber of Commerce and the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the yield and sales in the industry of frozen rice and noodle for the two month period ended February 28, 2010 increased by 24% and 15%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Ice Cream Products

The per capita consumption of ice-cream in China is approximately 1.5 kg per year. This is much less than that consumed in other developed countries such as the United States which has a per capital consumption of ice-cream equal to 40 kg per year.

Ice-cram has become increasingly popular in China. Output of ice-cream between 2003 and 2007 increased by sixteen times and we expect the demand for ice-cream to increase as our population increases.

●  Instant-frozen Food

Fast frozen food, also referred as instant-frozen food, is food that is stored, transported and sold under low temperature (usually around -0.3°F) after being processed through an instant freezing procedure. In general, there are five categories of instant-frozen foods.
 
We focus on the production of frozen noodles, frozen dumplings and frozen glue puddings. Our instant-frozen foods are processed through an instant freezing procedure which requires a temperature below -22°F that leads to an instant drop of the food’s core temperature to lower than -0.3°F. Foods processed through this procedure maintain their original color, favor and nutrition better than that of the regularly frozen foods. Over the years, we have developed three major frozen food series, and further dividing them into more than 30 varieties and over 110 different specifications.

●  Glutinous Rice Flour

Glutinous rice flour is a type of flour made from short-grained Asian rice that is especially sticky when cooked. It is commonly used as a sauce thickener or as a binding agent in baked goods at Asia. Glutinous rice flour is known for its ability to withstand both refrigeration and freezing with no breakdown of the product. As gluten-free flour, it is gaining popularity in the Western world, particularly for those who are required to maintain a wheat-free diet.

Our glutinous rice flour is grown and produced both for the production of our instant-frozen glue puddings and as an agricultural products for outside selling purposes.

 

 
●  Ice Cream Products

We manufacture a variety of ice cream products, including cup-style ice cream, cone-style ice cream, and ice pops. Over the years, our ice cream products have evolved into more than 40 categories with flavors ranging from cheese milk and fruit pudding to red bean and taros. In order to further explore our production capabilities in this area, we have signed an agreement with the intent to establish a manufacturing plant at the Wuxi Industrial Park of Qiyang County, based on which we decide to develop our “Xiangmei” series of ice cream into a national famous brand.

 

 
●  Agricultural Raw Materials

We retain local farmers to plant and grow various agricultural raw materials, including peanuts and sesame. This sector of our business is mainly conducted through two types of contractual arrangements. On the one hand, we lease planting lands from local farmers, provide them with seeds and fertilizers, hire them to conduct planting on the leased properties, and retrieve the final crops from the farmers at no costs. A copy of our form of Entrust Planting Agreement with local farmers is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, On the other hand, we enter into purchase orders with the farmers before planting. Pursuant to the orders, we provide them with seeds and fertilizers and commit to purchase back all the final crops at certain predetermined prices. A copy of our form of Order and Planting Agreement with major suppliers is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4.
 
 
6

 

 
Most of our leased planting lands are located in Qiyang County, Hunan Province. We also developed over 30,000 mu, or 20,000,000 square meters, of planting lands through purchase orders in the nearby Zhishan, Lengshuitan, Qidong, and Changning region. As of the date hereof, the total area of our affiliated planting basis reaches 80,000 mu, or 53,333,000 square meters.
 
 

 
Raw Materials for Our Products

The major raw material for our instant-frozen glue puddings is glutinous rice, and the auxiliary materials include sesame, peanut, sugar and oil. Among all the raw materials, glutinous rice is the key ingredient and it is self-supplied by us through cooperation with local farmers. Most of the auxiliary raw materials are also self-supplied, while sugar and other non-significant materials are purchased from outside suppliers.
 
The major raw material for our instant-frozen dumplings is flour, which is directly purchased from outside flour producers. The auxiliary materials such as shortening oil, glucose and cornstarch are purchased from provincial sales agents. In addition, we grow and supply major stuff materials for frozen dumplings in our planting basis, including raw taros, onions, cabbages and green onions.
 
All the raw materials are grown by ourselves or delivered to us by outside suppliers. Most of the purchase amounts are payable by checks or wire transfer. Set for below is a summary of our raw materials purchased from January to October, 2010:

Production and Processing Capacities

Through Xiangmei Food, our wholly-owned operation subsidiary which was mainly based on Yongzhou, Hunan Province, we have established four high-grade rice planting bases, and have entered into various cooperation agreements with a total number of 5,162 affiliated farmers. Since 2005, our planting bases have expanded to an area about 30,000 mu, or 20,000,000 square meters, with an annual glutinous rice production of 12,000 tons by our affiliated farmers. In the meantime, we purchase 8,000 tons of glutinous rice from northeast China each year to satisfy the diversity ingredient requirements of our products. At present, we are affiliated with 80,000 mu, or 53,333,000 square meters, of planting properties through contractual arrangement with local farmers. The category of our glutinous rice has increased from the sole “Biaosan” species in 2002 to currently five different standards.

Our manufacturing plants and related facilities cover an area of 12,000 square meters with an aggregate construction area of 16,800 square meters. We have a 1,684 square-meter glutinous rice flour workshop, a 1,071 square-meter glutinous rice preliminary processing plant, a 2,200 square-meter cold storage, a 1,043 square-meter glutinous rice warehouse, 4,900 square meters of administrative and dormitory facilities, as well as a 280 square-meter boiler room. We currently own 8 production lines, including one glutinous rice production line with daily processing capacity of 100 tons, one glutinous rice flour production line with daily processing capacity of 100 tons, two frozen food production lines with annual processing capacity of 25,000 tons each. The total annual processing capacity of our eight production lines combined is 60,000 tons. In addition, we also maintain a rice reserve of 20,000 tons in our warehouses.

Among all of our facilities, the 100-ton rice processing line is our key project. We conducted technological upgrades on this facility in 2004, after the debut of its prototype in late 1980s. Through the upgrade, we had particularly strengthened its capacities in rice husking, sand removing, categorizing and rice polishing. The qualification rate of our glutinous rice products has consistently maintained on a high level attributable to the introduction of these facilities.

Set forth below is a chart of our production capacity, actual production volume and sales of our major products in 2010:

Along with the sharp increase of demand, our existing production capability has been unable to satisfy the needs of the market. In order to break through this bottleneck, we established a new frozen food and ice cream manufacturing base in the Wuxi Industrial Park of Qiyang County where we decide to develop our frozen food and ice cream series into a national famous brand.

We moved into the Wuxi Industrial Park in 2010. Together with the construction of new manufacturing plants, warehouses and cold storage, we also purchased some of the most advanced and sophisticated facilities and equipments in China, including 2 automatic salt water tank ice cream production lines, 2 bottling lines, 3 color yarning lines and 2 section forming lines. Our newly-purchased equipments also include 40 automatic high-speed dumpling machines, 40 automatic high-speed glue pudding machines, 40 latest pastry machines, as well as 2 Nissan frozen spiral tunnel lines with daily production capacity of 100 tons each. These newly-acquired equipments have greatly lifted our production capacities and narrowed our requirements for land during our production process.

Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our intellectual property rights, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in this regard. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our trademarks, products and promotional materials or other intellectual property rights do not or will not violate the intellectual property rights of others, that our intellectual property would be upheld if challenged or that we would, in such an event, not be prevented from using our trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Such claims, if proven, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, although any such claims may ultimately prove to be without merit, the necessary management attention to and legal costs associated with litigation or other resolution of future claims concerning trademarks and other intellectual property rights could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The laws of certain foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as do the laws of the PRC. Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our intellectual property rights vigorously, these efforts may not be successful or the costs associated with protecting our rights in certain jurisdictions may be prohibitive. From time to time we may discover products in the marketplace that are counterfeit reproductions of our products or that otherwise infringe upon intellectual property rights held by us. Actions taken by us to establish and protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as violating trademarks and intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in challenging a third party’s products on the basis of infringement of our intellectual property rights, continued sales of such products by that or any other third party could adversely impact the “XIANGMEI” brand, result in the shift of consumer preferences away from our products and generally have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

REGULATIONS
 
This section summarizes the principal laws, rules and regulations that currently affect our business activities in the PRC. We operate our business in the PRC under a legal regime governed by the State Council and several ministries and agencies under its authority, including but not limited to, the Ministry of Commerce People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”), the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”), the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (:SAIC”), the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”), the State Food & Drug Administration (“SFDA”), and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (“AQSIQ”). From time to time, these government authorities issue regulations that apply to our business. Certain of these laws, rules and regulations, such as those relating to foreign currency exchange, taxation, dividend distribution, and regulation of foreign exchange in certain onshore and offshore transactions may affect our shareholders’ rights to receive dividends and other distributions from us.

Regulations on Food Safety
 
The PRC Food Safety Law became effective on June 1, 2009. The PRC Food Safety Law sets out the requirements and standards for food safety, production and business operations of food and food-related products and the relevant supervision and administrative measures to ensure food safety. The Implementing Rules of the PRC Food Safety Law, effective on July 20, 2009, specify the detailed measures for producers and business operators of food and food-related products to ensure food safety and related penalties. Pursuant to the Food Safety Law and its Implementing Rules, we must comply with the relevant requirements and standards for food safety. In addition, entities or individuals applying for production of new kinds of food-related products shall obtain pre-approval from the SFDA or its local counterparts.

Regulations on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products of the PRC

The Regulations of the PRC on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products, which came into force on September 1, 2005, and Measures for the Implementation of the Regulation of the PRC on the Administration of Production License for Industrial Products, which came into effect on June 1, 2010, implement a production license system in respect of enterprises manufacturing important industrial products directly related to human health. Under the Catalog of Industrial Products under Production License Administration issued by AQSIQ on August 25, 2010, our foods as items for freezing drink and frozen foods. We have obtained the industrial production licenses for food products on July 7, 2010 and December 1, 2008, respectively.

Regulations on Patents

The National People’s Congress adopted the Patent Law of the PRC in 1984, as amended in 1992, 2000 and 2008, respectively, or the Patent Law. A patentable invention, utility model or design must meet three conditions: novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. Patents cannot be granted for scientific discoveries, rules and methods for intellectual activities, methods used to diagnose or treat diseases, animal and plant breeds or substances obtained by means of nuclear transformation. The Patent Office under the State Council is responsible for receiving, examining and approving patent applications. A patent is valid for twenty years in the case of an invention and ten years in the case of a utility model or design, starting from the application date. A third-party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner to use the patent except under certain specific circumstances provided by law. Otherwise, the use will constitute an infringement of the patent rights.

According to the Patent Law, an infringer shall be subject to various civil liabilities, which include ceasing the infringement and compensating the actual loss suffered by patent owners. If the actual loss suffered by the patent owner is difficult to calculate, the illegal income received by the infringer or a reasonable amount calculated with reference to the patent royalties (in the case that it is difficult to calculate the illegal income) shall be deemed as the actual loss. If damages cannot be established by any of the above methods, the court can decide the amount of the actual loss up to RMB 1,000,000 ($151,206). In addition, an infringer who counterfeits patents of third parties shall be subject to administrative penalties or criminal liabilities, if applicable.

Regulations on Trademarks

Registered trademarks are protected under the Trademark Law of the PRC adopted in 1982 and amended in 1993 and 2001, and the Implementation Rules for the PRC Trademark Law adopted in 2002. The PRC Trademark Office of the SAIC is responsible for the registration and administration of trademarks throughout the PRC. The PRC Trademark Law has adopted a “first-to-file” principle with respect to trademark registration. Where a trademark for which an application has been made is identical or similar to another trademark that has already been registered or been subject to a preliminary examination and approval for use on the same kind of or similar commodities or services, the application for registration of such trademark may be rejected. Any person applying for the registration of a trademark shall not prejudice others’ existing right of priority, nor shall any person register in advance a trademark that has already been used by another person and has already gained “sufficient degree of reputation” through that person’s use.

Upon receipt of an application, the PRC Trademark Office will make a public announcement if the relevant trademark passes the preliminary examination. Within three months after such public announcement, any person may file an objection against a trademark that has passed a preliminary examination. The PRC Trademark Office’s decisions on rejection, objection or cancellation of an application may be appealed to the PRC Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, whose decision may be further appealed through judicial proceedings. If no objection is filed within three months after the public announcement period or if the objection has been overruled, the PRC Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue a registration certificate, upon which the trademark is registered and effective for a renewable ten-year period, unless otherwise revoked. The SAIC and its local counterparts have the power to investigate and handle any infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. Infringement of a trademark’s exclusive right may be subject to administrative penalties, and civil or criminal liabilities, as applicable.

Regulations on Labor Contract

On June 29, 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the Labor Contract Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008. The Implementing Rules were promulgated by the State Council and took effect on September 18, 2008. The Labor Contract Law formalizes, among others, employees’ rights concerning overtime hours, pensions and layoffs, the execution, performance, modification and termination of labor contracts, the clauses of labor contracts and the role of trade unions. In particular, it provides for specific standards and procedures for entering into non-fixed-term labor contracts with some of our sales professionals and staff. Either the employer or the applicable sales professional or staff may terminate the labor contract in circumstances as prescribed in the Labor Contract Law or if certain preconditions are fulfilled. In certain cases, the employer is required to pay a statutory severance upon the termination of a labor contract pursuant to the standards provided by the Labor Contract Law.

Regulations on Environmental Protection

The major environmental laws and regulations include the PRC Environmental Protection Law and other laws and regulations governing air pollution, environmental impact appraisals, pollutant discharge fees and licenses.

Regulations on Social Insurance and Housing Fund

The PRC governmental authorities have passed a variety of laws and regulations regarding social insurance and housing fund from time to time, such as the Regulation of Insurance for Labor Injury, the Regulation of Insurance for Unemployment, the Provisional Insurance Measures for Maternity of Employees, the Interim Provisions on Registration of Social Insurance, the Interim Regulation on the Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums, Regulations on Management of Housing Fund and other related laws and regulations. Pursuant to these regulations, both our PRC subsidiaries have to obtain and renew the social insurance registration certificate and the housing fund certificate and make contributions to the relevant local social insurance and housing fund for our PRC employees. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations would subject our PRC subsidiaries to various fines and legal sanctions and supplemental contributions to the local social insurance and housing fund.

Regulations on Dividend Distributions

The principal laws, rules and regulations governing dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries include the Company Law of the PRC (1993), as amended in 2006, the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended in 2000, and the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended in 2001. Pursuant to these laws and rules, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to allocate at least 10% of its after-tax profit each year to its statutory capital reserve fund until the accumulative amount of such reserve reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. Furthermore, each of our PRC subsidiaries may allocate its after-tax profits, the portion of which shall be determined by such subsidiary’s shareholders meeting, to its discretionary funds. Neither statutory nor discretionary reserves are distributable as cash dividends.

Regulations on PRC Taxation

The 2008 EIT Law and its Implementing Rules became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the 2008 EIT Law, enterprises are classified as “resident enterprises” and “non-resident enterprises.” Pursuant to the 2008 EIT Law and its Implementing Rules, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions whose “de facto management bodies” are located within China are considered resident enterprises and will generally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. According to the Implementing Rules, “de facto management body” refers to a managing body that in substance exercises overall management control over the production and business, personnel, accounting and assets of an enterprise. If we are considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise under the above definition, then our global income will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%.
 
 
15

 
 
Pursuant to certain tax regulations that expired when the 2008 EIT Law and its Implementing Rules took effect, a foreign invested manufacturing enterprise with a scheduled operating term of more than ten years was exempt from income tax for two years starting from the first year that it began to make profit, and was entitled to a 50% reduction in the income tax rate for three years thereafter. Pursuant to the 2008 EIT Law, enterprises in the PRC are required to pay an income tax at a rate of 25% of their taxable income. However, enterprises entitled to the foregoing preferential tax rate may, pursuant to the provisions of the State Council, gradually transition to the uniform tax rate of 25%. For enterprises that have already started to enjoy such preferential tax treatment prior to the promulgation of the 2008 EIT Law, such treatment continues to apply until its expiration. However, for enterprises that have not yet started to enjoy such preferential treatment by reason of not making any profits, the preferential period shall be counted from January 1, 2008.

The 2008 EIT Law and the Implementing Rules permit certain “high and new technology enterprises strongly supported by the state” that hold independent ownership of core intellectual property and simultaneously meet a list of other criteria, financial or non-financial, as stipulated in the Implementing Rules, to enjoy a reduced 15% enterprise income tax rate subject to certain new qualification criteria. The SAT, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the MOF jointly issued the Administrative Rules for the Certification of High and New Technology Enterprises delineating the specific criteria and procedures for the “high and new technology enterprises” certification on April 14, 2008.

Further, the Implementing Rules provide that, (i) if the enterprise that distributes dividends is domiciled in the PRC, or (ii) if gains are realized from transferring equity interests of enterprises domiciled in the PRC, then such dividends or capital gains are treated as China-sourced income. It is not clear how “domicile” may be interpreted under the 2008 EIT Law, and it may be interpreted as the jurisdiction where the enterprise is a tax resident. Therefore, if we are considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders as well as gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result become subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10% if such shareholders are considered as non-resident enterprises, and a rate of 20% if they are considered as non-resident individuals, in the absence of any applicable tax treaties that may reduce such rates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes; such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.”

Regulations on Loans between a Foreign Company and its PRC Subsidiaries

A loan made by foreign investors as shareholders in a foreign-invested enterprise is considered to be foreign debt in China and is subject to various PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to, the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulation of 1996 and its amendments, the Interim Measures on Foreign Debts Administration of 2003, the Statistical Monitoring of Foreign Debts Tentative Provisions of 1987 and its implementing rules of 1998, the Administration Provisions on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange of 1996, and the Notice of the SAFE on Issues Related to Perfection of Foreign Debts Administration of 2005.

Under these laws and regulations, a shareholder loan in the form of foreign debt made to a Chinese subsidiary does not require the prior approval of the SAFE. However, such foreign debt must be registered with and recorded by the SAFE or its local counterparts in accordance with relevant PRC laws and regulations and shall not exceed statutory limit. Our PRC subsidiary, Xiangmei Food, can legally borrow foreign exchange loans up to its borrowing limits, which is defined as the difference between the amount of its ‘‘total investment’’ and ‘‘registered capital’’ as approved by the MOFCOM or its local counterparts. Interest payments, if any, on the loans are subject to a 10% withholding tax unless any such foreign shareholder’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement and relevant requirements are satisfied. In addition, if the amount of foreign exchange debt of WFOE exceeds its borrowing limit, we are required to apply to the relevant PRC authorities to increase the total investment amount and registered capital to allow the excess foreign exchange debt to be registered with the SAFE.

Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange

The primary regulations and rules governing foreign exchange in China are the PRC Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations of 1996 and its amendments in 2008, and the Administrative Rules on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange of 1996. According to these regulations and rules, the RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including without limitation, dividend distributions, interest payments and trade-related foreign exchange transactions. Capital account items such as direct investments, loans, securities investments and repatriation of investments are still subject to prior approval of and registration with the SAFE or its local counterparts. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies under current account transactions at banks with authority to conduct foreign exchange business, by providing valid commercial documents, and for capital account transactions, pre-approval from the SAFE or its local counterparts is still required.

On August 29, 2008, the SAFE promulgated Circular 142, a notice regulating the conversion by foreign-invested enterprises of foreign currency into RMB. Circular 142 requires that the RMB funds obtained from the settlement of foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless otherwise provided for in the enterprise’s business scope. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise. The use of such RMB capital may not be altered without SAFE’s approval, and may not in any case be used to repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. Violations of Circular 142 will result in severe penalties, such as substantial fines.

Regulations Relating to Employee Stock Options

Pursuant to the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules and Circular 78, issued in January and March 2007, respectively, by the SAFE, PRC domestic individuals who are granted shares or share options by companies listed on overseas stock exchanges based on employee share holding plans or share option plans are required to register with the SAFE or its local counterparts.

According to Circular 78, if a PRC domestic individual participates in any employee share holding plan or share option plan of an overseas-listed company, a PRC domestic agent or the PRC subsidiary of such overseas-listed company shall, among others things, file, on behalf of such individual, an application with the SAFE to obtain approval for an annual quota with respect to the purchase of foreign exchange in connection with share holding or share option exercises as PRC domestic individuals may not directly use overseas funds to purchase shares or exercise share options. Concurrent with the filing of such application with the SAFE, the PRC subsidiary or the PRC domestic agent shall obtain approval from the SAFE to open a special foreign exchange account at a PRC domestic bank to hold the funds required in connection with the share purchase or option exercise, any returned principal or profits upon sales of shares, any dividends issued upon the shares and any other income or expenditures approved by the SAFE. The PRC subsidiary or the PRC domestic agent also is required to obtain approval from the SAFE to open an overseas special foreign exchange account at an overseas trust bank to hold overseas funds used in connection with any share purchase.

All proceeds obtained by PRC domestic individuals from sales of shares shall be fully repatriated back to the PRC after relevant overseas expenses are deducted. The foreign exchange proceeds from these sales can be converted into Renminbi or transferred to such individuals’ foreign exchange savings accounts after the proceeds have been repatriated back to the special foreign exchange account opened at the PRC domestic bank. If the share options are exercised in a cashless exercise, the PRC domestic individuals are required to repatriate the proceeds to the special foreign exchange account.

Although many issues relating to Circular 78 require further interpretation, we and our PRC employees who have been granted our share options will be subject to Circular 78 when our company becomes an overseas-listed company. If we or our PRC employees fail to comply with Circular 78, we and/or our PRC employees may face sanctions imposed by the foreign exchange authority or any other PRC government authorities. Such sanctions include, but are not limited to, penalties imposed on our company and executive officers and forfeiture of the proceeds received from the exercise of the share options.

In addition, the SAT has issued a number of circulars concerning employee share options. Under these circulars, our employees working in China who exercise our share options will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee share options with relevant tax authorities and withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options. If our employees fail to pay and we fail to withhold their income taxes, we may face sanctions imposed by tax authorities or any other PRC government authorities.

Regulations on Overseas Listing

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory authorities, namely, the MOFCOM, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the SAT, the SAIC, the CSRC, and the SAFE, jointly adopted the M&A Regulations, which became effective on September 8, 2006, as amended on June 22, 2009, to regulate foreign investment in PRC domestic enterprises. The M&A Regulations contain provisions purporting, among other things, to require SPVs that are (1) formed for the purpose of overseas listing of equity interests in PRC companies via acquisition, and (2) controlled by PRC companies and/or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of their securities on overseas stock exchanges. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published the CSRC Procedures on its website, specifying the documents and materials that SPVs are required to submit when seeking the CSRC approval for their listings outside of China. As of the date of this prospectus, the CSRC has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether transactions such as this offering are subject to the M&A Regulations and the CSRC Procedures.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Any requirement to obtain prior approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, could delay this offering and a failure to obtain this approval, if required, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our stocks.”


RISK FACTORS
 
Risks Related to Our Business

We are subject to general risks in the food industry, including risks relating to changes in consumer preference and economic conditions, any of which risks, if realized, could negatively impact our operating results and financial position.

The food industry, and the markets within the food industry in which we compete, are subject to various risks, including the following: evolving consumer preferences, nutritional and health-related concerns, federal, state and local food inspection and processing controls, consumer product liability claims, risks of product tampering, and the availability and expense of liability insurance. Product recalls are sometimes required in the food industry to withdraw contaminated or mislabeled products from the market. Additionally, the failure to identify and react appropriately to changes in consumer trends, demands and preferences could lead to, among other things, reduced demand and price reduction for our products. Further, we may be adversely affected by changes in domestic or foreign economic conditions, including inflation or deflation, interest rates, availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates, and energy availability and costs (including fuel surcharges). These and other general risks related to the food industry, if realized by us, could have a significant adverse affect on demand for our products, as well as the costs and availability of raw materials, ingredients and packaging materials, thereby negatively affecting our operating results and financial position.

We rely on the raw materials we produce for key ingredients in our finished product. In the event that our crops are not able to produce enough raw materials for us, we may have to purchase our raw materials from a third party, causing an increase in our cost of goods sold and a decrease in our profit margin.

We grow the raw materials necessary to produce our frozen foods. Historically, market prices for products we process have fluctuated in response to a number of factors, including changes in the Chinese government farm support programs, weather, and other conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons.

Our operating results are heavily dependent upon the prices paid for raw materials. The marketing of our value-added products does not lend itself to instantaneous changes in selling prices. Changes in selling prices are relatively infrequent and do not compare with the volatility of commodity markets. Fluctuations in significant cost structure components, such as ingredient commodities, have had a significant impact on profitability over the last two years. Future volatility of general price inflation or deflation and raw material cost and availability could adversely affect our financial results.
 
 
18

 
 
We depend on our key management, the loss of which could negatively impact our operations.

Our executive officers and certain other key employees have been primarily responsible for the development and expansion of our business, and the loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could adversely effect us.  Our success will be dependent in part upon our continued ability to recruit, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. We can not assure you that we will be successful in this regard. We have no employment or non-competition agreements with key personnel.

We depend on our major customers and any loss of such customers could have a negative impact on our profitability.

We could suffer significant reductions in revenues and operating income if we lost one or more of our largest customers. The loss of any of these customers would be material to our operations and would adversely affect our profitability.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.
 
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business

Uncertainties with respect to the governing regulations could have a material and adverse effect on us.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and our ownership of equity interest in Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd, a wholly foreign owned enterprise under the PRC laws. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
 
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business permits and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to the PRC subsidiary by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Xiangmei Food will be subject to restrictions on dividend payments.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions from Xiangmei Food to provide us with cash flow and to meet our other obligations. Current regulations in the PRC would permit the PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, Xiangmei Food will be required to set aside at least 10% (up to an aggregate amount equal to half of its registered capital) of its accumulated profits each year. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if the PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

PRC regulations on loans and direct investments by overseas holding companies in PRC entities may delay or prevent us to make overseas loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary.

Under the PRC laws, foreign investors may make loans to their PRC subsidiaries or foreign investors may make additional capital contributions to their PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to such PRC subsidiaries are subject to the PRC regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations, i.e. loans by foreign investors to their PRC subsidiaries to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the SAFE, or its local branch. Foreign investors may also decide to finance their PRC subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions. These capital contributions must be examined and approved by the MOFCOM, or its local branch in advance.

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

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress or NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs, and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.

On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law , the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011 and 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.

Under the New 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 New 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. Because the New EIT Law and its implementing rules are new, no official interpretation or application of this new “resident enterprise” classification is available. 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 “resident enterprises” 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 offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” and 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 “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 for the applicable tax years and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent 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 credited against our U.S. tax.

Dividends we received from Xiangmei Food may be subject to PRC withholding tax.

The New EIT Law and the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 10% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises”, which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or (ii) have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are an offshore holding company. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.

In January 2009, the State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, promulgated the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises (“Measures”), pursuant to which, the entities which have the direct obligation to make the following payment to a non-resident enterprise shall be the relevant tax withholders for such non-resident enterprise, and such payment includes: incomes from equity investment (including dividends and other return on investment), interests, rents, royalties, and incomes from assignment of property as well as other incomes subject to enterprise income tax received by non-resident enterprises in China. Further, the Measures provides that in case of equity transfer between two non-resident enterprises which occurs outside China, the non-resident enterprise which receives the equity transfer payment shall, by itself or engage an agent to, file tax declaration with the PRC tax authority located at place of the PRC company whose equity has been transferred, and the PRC company whose equity has been transferred shall assist the tax authorities to collect taxes from the relevant non-resident enterprise. However, it is unclear whether the Measures refer to the equity transfer by a non-resident enterprise which is a direct or an indirect shareholder of the said PRC company. Given these Measures, there is a possibility that Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. may have an obligation to withhold income tax in respect of the dividends paid to non-resident enterprise investors.

The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in the combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and results of operations.
 
We face uncertainty from China’s Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-Resident Enterprises' Share Transfer (Circular 698 that was released in December 2009 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2008.)

The Chinese State Administration of Taxation released a circular (“Circular 698”) on December 10, 2009 that addresses the transfer of shares by nonresident companies. Circular 698, which is effective retroactively to January 1, 2008, may have a significant impact on many companies that use offshore holding companies to invest in China. Pursuant to Circular 698, where the withholding agent does not withhold in accordance with laws or can’t perform the withholding obligation, the non-resident enterprises shall file tax declaration with the PRC tax authority located at place of the resident enterprise whose equity has been transferred, within seven days since the date of equity transfer provided under the contracts.

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 or jurisdiction where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or where the offshore income of his, her, or its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the relevant information within 30 days of the transfers. Moreover, where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise through an abuse of form of organization and there are no reasonable commercial purposes such that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the PRC tax authority will have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer in accordance with PRC’s “substance-over-form” principle and deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes.

There is uncertainty as to the application of Circular 698. For example, while the term "indirectly transfer" is not defined, it is understood 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. Moreover, the relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in the country or jurisdiction and to what extent and the process of the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise. In addition, there are no formal declarations with regard to how to decide abuse of form of organization and reasonable commercial purpose, which can be utilized by us to balance if our company complies with the Circular 698. As a result, we may become at risk of being taxed under Circular 698 and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Circular 698 or to establish that we should not be taxed under Circular 698, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. is obligated to withhold and pay PRC individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If we fail to withhold or pay such individual income tax in accordance with applicable PRC regulations, we may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.

Under PRC laws, Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. is obligated to withhold and pay individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If the PRC subsidiary fails to withhold and/or pay such individual income tax in accordance with PRC laws, it may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.

In addition, the SAT has issued several circulars concerning employee stock options. Under these circulars, our employees working in the PRC (which could include both PRC employees and expatriate employees subject to PRC individual income tax) who exercise stock options will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiary has obligations to file documents related to employee stock options with relevant tax authorities and withhold and pay individual income taxes for those employees who exercise their stock options. While tax authorities may advise us that our policy is compliant, they may change their policy, and we could be subject to sanctions.
  
Regulation of foreign currency’s conversion into RMB and investment by FIEs may adversely affect our PRC subsidiary’s direct investment in China

On August 29, 2008, SAFE issued a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to the Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a verification report from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. The Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight over the flow and use of Renminbi funds converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE. The use of such Renminbi may not be changed without approval from SAFE, and may not be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet been used. Violations of Notice 142 may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the SAFE rules.

Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM, the CSRC, the SASAC, SAT, the SAIC and the SAFE, amended and released the New M&A Rule, which took effect as of September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore SPV formed for purposes of overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
 
On September 21, 2006, CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process.
 
The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of CSRC approval requirement.
 
It is not clear whether the provisions in the new regulation regarding the offshore listing and trading of the securities of a SPV apply to an offshore company such as us which owns equity interest in Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. We believe that the M&A Rules and CSRC approval are not required in the context of the share exchange under our transaction because (i) such share exchange is a purely foreign related transaction governed by foreign laws, not subject to the jurisdiction of PRC laws and regulations; (ii) we are not a SPV formed or controlled by PRC companies or PRC individuals; (iii) Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. was established as a foreign investment enterprise by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of an existing PRC domestic company and it is not owned or controlled by PRC individuals or entities; (iv) we are currently owned or substantively controlled by foreigners; and (v) there is no clear requirement in the New M&A Rule that would require an application to be submitted to the MOFCOM or CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of our common stock on the U.S. security market. However, we cannot be certain that the relevant PRC government agencies, including CSRC, would reach the same conclusion, and we still cannot rule out the possibility that CSRC may deem that the transactions effected by the share exchange circumvented the M&A Rules, the PRC Securities Law and other rules and notices.

If CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that CSRC’s approval is required for the transaction, we may face sanctions by CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this Offering into the PRC, 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 shares. CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel the transaction.
 
The M&A Rules, along with foreign exchange regulations discussed in the above subsection, will be interpreted or implemented by the relevant government authorities in connection with our future offshore financings or acquisitions, and we cannot predict how they will affect our business development strategy.
  
Failure to comply with PRC laws and regulations relating to the environmental protection and safety in production requirements in China may result in severe penalties and liabilities.
 
The Chinese government has been adopting increasingly stringent regulations relating to the safety and environmental protection, and our business depends upon compliance with the aforesaid regulations and requirements. We are in the process of conducting as-build acceptance inspection and have to obtain relevant safety production permits and approvals from a variety of competent government authorities upon completion of aforesaid inspection. There is no assurance that we will obtain or renew all of such permits or approvals from relevant competent government authorities, which are subject to our fulfillment of the standards and requirements set out by the regulatory authorities. Our operations at our production facilities are subject to periodic checks by the relevant authorities in the PRC and they have the power to take action against us, impose fines, withdraw or suspend our relevant licenses or activities or impose other penalties if we fail to comply with relevant regulations, in the event of which our business operations may be adversely affected. In addition, any change in the scope or application of these laws and regulations may limit our production capacity or increase our cost of operation and could therefore have an adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and operating results. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in fines, penalties or legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Chinese government will not impose additional or stricter laws or regulations, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant capital expenditures, which it may not be able to pass on to our customers.

Risks Associated With Doing Business in China

There are substantial risks associated with doing business in China, as set forth in the following risk factors.
 
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.
 
Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.
 
We derive all of our sales from China.

All of our sales are generated from China. We anticipate that sales of our products in China will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could adversely affect consumer demand of our products, among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result of this policy change, Chinese Renminbi appreciated approximately 0.09% against the U.S. dollar in 2009 and 3.35% in 2008. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.
 
The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could result in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions could result in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.
 
 
24

 
 
Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of SAFE which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain all required conversion approvals for our operations or that Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China, or to repay foreign currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations
 
We may have limited legal recourse under PRC laws if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.
 
The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, their experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our new business ventures are unsuccessful, or other adverse circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the transactions, or, may hinder or prevent us from accessing important information regarding the financial and business operations of these acquired companies. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance, or to seek an injunction under PRC law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Because our funds are held in banks in uninsured PRC bank accounts, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue our business.

Funds on deposit at banks and other financial institutions in the PRC are often uninsured. A significant portion of our assets are in the form of cash deposited with banks in the PRC, and in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to our funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
 
Our business could be severely harmed if the Chinese government changes its policies, laws, regulations, tax structure or its current interpretations of its laws, rules and regulations, relating to our operations in China.

Our business is located in Hunan province, China and virtually all of our assets are located in China. We generate our sales revenue only from customers located in China. Our results of operations, financial state of affairs and future growth are, to a significant degree, subject to China’s economic, political and legal development and related uncertainties. Our operations and results could be materially affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to

Changes in policies by the Chinese government resulting in changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation of laws or regulations,
changes in taxation,
changes in employment restrictions,
import duties, and
currency revaluation.

Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. If the Chinese government does not continue to pursue its present policies that encourage foreign investment and operations in China, or if these policies are either not successful or are significantly altered, then our business could be harmed. Following the Chinese government’s policy of privatizing many state-owned enterprises, the Chinese government has attempted to augment its revenues through increased tax collection. It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Continued efforts to increase tax revenues could result in increased taxation expenses being incurred by us. Economic development may be limited as well by the imposition of austerity measures intended to reduce inflation, the inadequate development of infrastructure and the potential unavailability of adequate power and water supplies, transportation and communications. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies.

Failure to comply with the U.S. foreign corrupt practices act and Chinese anti-corruption laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

Our executive officers, employees and other agents may violate applicable law in connection with the marketing or sale of our products, including China’s anti-corruption laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. However, corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC.
  
While we intend to implement measures to ensure compliance with the FCPA and China’s anti-corruption laws by all individuals involved with our company, our employees or other agents may engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales activities or our stock price could be adversely affected if we become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions taken by our employees or other agents.

Changes in foreign exchange regulations in the PRC may affect our ability to pay dividends in foreign currency or conduct other foreign exchange business.

The Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency currently, and the restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside the PRC or to make dividends or other payments in United States dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Over the years, foreign exchange regulations in the PRC have significantly reduced the government’s control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts. In the PRC, SAFE regulates the conversion of the Renminbi into foreign currencies. Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC are required to apply for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates.” Currently, conversion within the scope of the “current account” (e.g. remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends, etc.) can be effected without requiring the approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account” (e.g. for capital items such as direct investments, loans, securities, etc.) still requires the approval of SAFE.

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

China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities, and, as a result, we are dependent on our relationship with the local government in the province in which we operate our business. Chinese 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, 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 these jurisdictions 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.

The implementation of the new PRC employment contract law and increase in the labor costs in China may hurt our business and profitability.

A new employment contract law became effective on January 1, 2008 in China. It imposes more stringent requirements on employers in relation to entry into fixed-term employment contracts, recruitment of temporary employees and dismissal of employees. In addition, under the newly promulgated Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, which also became effective on January 1, 2008, employees who have worked continuously for more than one year are entitled to a paid vacation ranging from 5 to 15 days, depending on the length of the employee’s service. Employees who waive such vacation entitlements at the request of the employer will be compensated for three times their normal daily salaries for each vacation day so waived. As a result of the new law and regulations, our labor costs may increase. There is no assurance that disputes, work stoppages or strikes will not arise in the future. Increases in the labor costs or future disputes with our employees could damage our business, financial condition or operating results.

According to PRC labor laws, the employer shall be responsible to deal with and pay social insurances and housing fund for all of its employees based on the actual salary of the employees. There is no guarantee that we and our subsidiaries will be able to comply with the relevant requirements. Failure to comply with the various PRC Labor Laws and regulation requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law.

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

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by 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 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.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
 
We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards. We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
  
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us and our management.

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon some of our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to bring an original lawsuit against us or our directors or executive officers before a Chinese court based on U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
 
 
27

 
 
Because Chinese laws will govern almost all of our business’ material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.

The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although legislation in the PRC over the past 25 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete understanding of the judges or government agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to us, and foreign investors, including you. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

Risks Related to our Securities

Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.

Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders hold 9,200,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 92.00% of our Common Stock. Accordingly, these stockholders are able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.

There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities.

There is currently only a limited public market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.
 
The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

The market price of our Common Stock has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin Board quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our Common Stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our Common Stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Because we are becoming public by means of a reverse merger, it may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

Since we became public through a “reverse merger,” the newly-issued common shares issued in connection with the “reverse merger” and the Private Placement are restricted shares, As a result, our common stock will continue to be very thinly traded after the reverse merger, until a considerable number of such shares are registered in an effective registration statement or become sellable under Rule 144. Therefore, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the Company in the future.

When the registration statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement becomes effective, there will be a significant number of shares of Common Stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of such stock.

Following the effective date of the registration statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, a large number of shares of Common Stock would become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of the stock. Further, shares may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well. In general, a non-affiliate who has held restricted securities for a period of six (6) months may sell such securities into the market and an “affiliate” who has held restricted shares for a period of six (6) months may, upon filing a notification with the SEC on Form 144, sell Common Stock into the market in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares.
 
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions, which could impair liquidity and make trading difficult.

SEC Rule 15g-9, as amended, establishes the definition of a "penny stock" as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions. The market price of the Common Stock is currently less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be a “penny stock.” This classification severely and adversely affects the market liquidity for our common stock.
 
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. To approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market which, in highlight form, sets forth:

 
·
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
     
 
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
 
29

 
 
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
 
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

OTCBB securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTCBB reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.

Patterns of fraud and abuse include:

·  
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
·  
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·  
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
 ·  
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·  
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock. We plan to retain any future earning to finance growth.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
 
Grain Wealth Limited is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Island (the “Grain Wealth”) on September 8, 2010. Grain Wealth owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Qiyang County Xiangmei Food Technical Research and Development Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) with limited liability incorporated under the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on December 20, 2010. Qiyang Xiangmei Food Technical and Development Co., Ltd. has entered into a series of contractual agreements with the owner of Hunan Xiangmei Food Co., Ltd. (“Hunan Xiangmei”).

Hunan Xiangmei is a limited liability company formed under laws of the PRC on March 27, 2006, with a total registered capital of RMB 10 million (approximate to $1.2 million), contributed by two individual shareholders, Mr. Wu YaoTian and Mr. Zhou Taiping. On December 24, 2009, Mr. Wu YaoTian transferred all of his ownership interest to Mr. Zhou Taiping, the Chairman of Hunan Xiangmei, and Mr. Zhou became the sole owner of Hunan Xiangmei, which is engaged in the business of growing, processing and distributing glutinous rice and other consumer food products such as frozen stuffed dumplings and ice cream products in the PRC.

On December 23, 2010, Xiangmei Food entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Hunan Xiangmei. These contractual agreements require the pledge of Mr. Zhou’s equity interests in Hunan Xiangmei to Xiangmei Food. At any time during the agreement period, Xiangmei Food has exclusive rights to acquire any portion of the equity interests of Hunan Xiangmei. In addition, Xiangmei Food has sole discretion to appoint directors of Hunan Xiangmei and is entitled to certain management fees from Hunan Xiangmei. The contracts include the Voting Rights Agreement, Equity Pledge Agreement, Operating Agreement, Option Agreement and Consulting Services Agreement all attached hereto as Exhibits 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15, respectively.

Under these contractual arrangements, which obligate Xiangmei Food to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Hunan Xiangmei’s activities and entitle it to receive a majority of its residual returns, Xiangmei Food has gained effective control over Hunan Xiangmei. Through these contractual arrangements, Xiangmei Food now holds the variable interests of Hunan Xiangmei, and Xiangmei Food becomes the primary beneficiary of Hunan Xiangmei. Based on these contractual arrangements, Hunan Xiangmei is considered as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)  under ASC 810, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51", because the equity investor in Hunan Xiangmei no longer has the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, Hunan Xiangmei should be consolidated under ASC 810.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
 
Variable Interest Entities
 
Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board accounting standards, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity.
 
 
31

 
 
HuNan Xiangmei is considered a VIE, and we are the primary beneficiary. We conduct our operations in China through our indirect PRC subsidiary HuNan Xiangmei. On December 23, 2010, we entered into agreements with HuNan Xiangmei pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of HuNan Xiangmei’s net income. In accordance with these agreements, HuNan Xiangmei shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Xiangmei Food.
 
The accounts of HuNan Xiangmei are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As a VIE, HuNan Xiangmei sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our, and our net income includes all of HuNan Xiangmei’s net income, and its assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheet. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in HuNan Xiangmei that requires consolidation of HuNan Xiangmei’s financial statements with our financial statements.
 
Accounts receivable
 
We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable and other receivables to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
 
As a basis for accurately estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record additional reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. We review inventory quantities on hand and on order and record, on a quarterly basis, a provision for excess and obsolete inventory, if necessary. If the results of the review determine that a write-down is necessary, we recognize a loss in the period in which the loss is identified, whether or not the inventory is retained. Our inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory and are not reversed until we sell or dispose of the related inventory. Such provisions are established based on historical usage, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or the estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.
 
 
32

 
 
Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
 
   
Useful Life
Building and building improvements
 
5 – 30
 
Years
Manufacturing equipment
 
5-10
 
Years
Office equipment and furniture
 
5
 
Years
Vehicle
 
5
 
Years
 
The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
 
We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
 
Land use rights under capital lease
 
There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land use right to use the land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted with a term of 50 years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We have recorded as an intangible asset under capital lease for the amount of the present value of total payment made to the leasor. The land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the lease terms.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of glutinous products and other food upon shipment and transfer of title.
 
Income taxes
 
We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to accounting standards, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
 
33

 
 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
 
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
 
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China. According to China State Administration to Taxation in Qiyang County in Hunan Province, from June 1, 2006 to December 24, 2009, the Company is foreign invested joint venture, which enjoyed income tax waiver in the first five years and half income tax waiver in the following three years. According to China State Administration to Taxation in Qiyang County ni Hunan Province, because the Company was awarded as a “Leading Agricultural Enterprise in Hunan Province” and invested in Qiyang Industrial Development Zone, starting from December 24, 2009, the Company continues to enjoy the income waiver. As a result, the Company had not incurred any income tax since its inception. All tax years since inception remain subject to examination by the tax authorities.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

The increase in revenues from the sale of frozen rice dumplings was mainly attributable to our substantial increase in sales volume, partially offset by unit sale price cut from the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales volume is approximately 675,141 kg, as compared to the sale volume of approximately 475,192 kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 42%. The increase in sale volume was mainly attributable to increasing production capacity and temporary sales price cut. In addition to the existing production line, the Company added a new rice dumplings product line and a cooling tunnel in early 2010. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, in order to boost its frozen rice dumplings sales, the Company temporarily reduced its sales price of frozen rice dumplings. Because frozen rice dumplings are the main products the Company want to promote, it is the Company’s business strategy to first reduce its sales price to attract more order and then shifted back to the original sales prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales price per kilogram is approximately $0.96 per kilogram (kg), as compared to the sale price of approximately $1.02 per kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately 7%.
 
The increase in revenues from the sale of frozen dumplings was attributable to our substantial increase in both sales prices and volume from the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales price per kilogram is approximately $1.39 per kilogram (kg), as compared to the sale price of approximately $1.05 per kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 31%. The increase in sale price is a response to continually increasing cost of raw material such as meat and flour in China. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales volume is approximately 276,665 kg, as compared to the sale volume of approximately 211,246 kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase in sale volume was attributable to sustained marketing efforts.
 
Frozen pasta mainly includes frozen steamed bread. The increase in revenues from the sale of frozen pasta was mainly attributable to our substantial increase both in sales prices and sales volume from the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales price per kilogram is approximately $ 1.07 per kilogram (kg), as compared to the sale price of approximately $0.83 per kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 28%. The increase in sale price is a response to continually increasing cost of raw material such as flour in China. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the average sales volume is approximately 255,156 kg, as compared to the sale volume of approximately 222,044 kg for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately 15%. The increase in sale volume was attributable to continued market efforts.
 
The company produces and sells ice cream only in summer.
