The Company, its subsidiaries and VIE are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

Principal Activities

The Company, formerly known as Hamptons Extreme, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in March 2007. The Company was formed to engage in the design, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of surfboards and related equipment.  After the Exchange (as defined below), the Company, through its operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), is principally engaged in research, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of polypeptide-based nutritional supplements, health foods, functional foods and related ingredient products.

Cantix, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated in British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on January 29, 2007.  Cantix is a holding company with minimum activities.

Moneyeasy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cantix, was incorporated in Hong Kong on August 25, 2006, and is a holding company with minimum activities.

Tallyho was founded on December 2, 1996 in the PRC with a paid-in capital of $5,854,361 (RMB40,230,000) and has been engaged in research, production and sales of polypeptide-based nutritional supplements, health food products and related ingredient products. Tallyho is a wholly owned subsidiary of Moneyeasy.
 
Hopsun was founded on November 13, 2007 in the PRC. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tallyho with $1,424,055 (RMB10,000,000) initial paid-in capital which was later increased to $2,008,227 (RMB14,000,000) and specializes in service-based sales of health and anti-aging products.

Anti-Aging was founded on June 13, 2007 in the PRC, with $1,045,246 (RMB8,000,000) paid-in capital and specialized in research and development of polypeptide-based health products and provision of related technological services. Anti-Aging is a wholly owned subsidiary of Moneyeasy.
 
Xingpu is a development stage company established on March 2, 2010. Its registered capital is approximately $29,255,164 (RMB200,000,000) of which $5,851,033 (RMB40,000,000) was paid up as of September 30, 2010. The equity holders of Xingpu are Mr. Dongliang Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Shengfan Yan, the President and a director of the Company, with each holding a 50% equity interest of Xingpu. Xingpu’s business scope includes polypeptide product development, real estate investment, technology transfer, technical consultation, import and export, etc. with the current purpose to develop the Group’s regional headquarter and its research and development center.

Effective September 28, 2010, Hopsun entered into a contractual arrangement with Xingpu and its equity holders consisting of a series of agreements, including an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, through which Hopsun has the right to advise, consult with, manage and operate Xingpu, and to collect fees based on its profits. Xingpu's equity holders have also granted their voting rights over Xingpu to Hopsun. In order to further reinforce Hopsun's rights to control and operate Xingpu, Xingpu and its equity holders have granted Hopsun the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Xinpu. Further, Xingpu’s equity holders have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Xingpu to Hopsun. As both companies are under common control, this has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred from the beginning of the periods presented.  CPGI consolidates Xingpu’s results, assets and liabilities in its financial statements.

On November 13, 2009, the Company, Cantix and the shareholders of Cantix entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cantix from the Cantix shareholders in exchange for 8,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 88% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange”). After the Exchange, Cantix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the Exchange is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Exchange from the beginning of the periods presented. The Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization (the “Reorganization”) of the Company, whereby Cantix is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to November 13, 2009 are solely of Cantix except that the equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the Exchange.

On December 1, 2009, all shares and per share numbers set forth in this Note 1 reflect an 8-for-1 forward stock split effectuated by the Company, pursuant to which each one (1) share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on December 1, 2009 automatically converted into eight(8) shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
 
(a) Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
Variable Interest Entities - A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

If the Company determines that it has operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, the Company consolidates the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, does not consolidate. The Company’s involvement constitutes power that is most significant to the entity when it has unconstrained decision making ability over key operational functions within the entity.

Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

The Company has concluded that Xingpu is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary and loss absorber as of December 31, 2010. Under the requirements of ASC Topic 810 the Company consolidated the financial statements of Xingpu.

Summary information regarding Xingpu is as follows:

The financial performance of Xingpu reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 includes revenues of $nil, net loss of $nil.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2010, and consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(b) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenues; the allowance for doubtful receivables; deposit for land use rights; recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets; fair values of financial instruments; and the assessment of contingent obligations.  These estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and current deposits with banks. The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 
6

 

(d) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable.  The Group determines the allowance based on aging data, historical collection experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December 31 and September 30, 2010, $1,588,394 and $1,570,754 allowances for doubtful accounts were provided respectively (note 5).

(e) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Inventories embraces raw materials, low-value consumables, packaging materials, work in process and finished goods. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

The Group evaluates the need for reserves associated with obsolete, slow-moving and non-salable inventories by reviewing the net realizable value on a periodic basis. Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, a provision is accrued for the difference with charges to cost of sales.

(f) Prepayments and Other Receivables

As needed for normal business purposes, the Group advances predetermined amounts based upon internal policy to certain employees and unrelated parties to ensure certain transactions to be performed in a timely manner. The Group has full oversight and control over the advanced accounts except for the loans to ERA Bio-Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“ERA Biotech”). As of December 31 and September 30, 2010, $3,186,524 and $3,145,468 allowances for doubtful accounts were provided respectively (note 7).

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The historical cost of acquiring an item of property, plant and equipment includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. If an item of property, plant and equipment requires a period of time in which to carry out the activities necessary to bring it to that condition and location, the interest cost incurred during that period as a result of expenditures for the item is a part of the historical cost. This item is categorized as construction in progress and is not depreciated until substantially all the activities necessary to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use are completed.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows.

Asset
   
Useful lives
Buildings and improvements
 
5~40 years
Machinery and equipment
 
5~10 years
Furniture and office equipment
 
2~5 years
Motor vehicles
 
5 years

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.

The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 
7

 

Construction in progress represented capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred.  Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed.  Construction in progress is not depreciated.

(h)  Land Use Rights

Land use rights represent payments for the rights to use certain parcels of land for a certain period of time in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period the rights are granted, i.e., 50 years.

(i) Investment in Equity Affiliates

Investment in affiliates consists of ownership in associated companies, which the Group exercises significant influence, usually a percentage ownership between 20% and 50%, and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee’s accounts are not reflected within the Group’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee are reflected in the caption “Equity in loss in affiliates” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Group’s carrying value in an equity method investee is reflected in the caption “Long-term Investment” in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.

When the Group’s carrying value in an equity method investee is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Group’s consolidated financial statements unless the Group guaranteed obligations of the investee or has committed additional funding. When the investee subsequently reports income, the Group will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

(j) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Group are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  There is no impairment of long-lived assets as of December 31 and September 30, 2010.

(k) Appropriated Retained Earnings

The income of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries is distributable to its equity holders after transfer to reserves as required by relevant PRC laws and regulations and the subsidiaries’ articles of association. Appropriations to the reserves are approved by the respective boards of directors.

Reserves include statutory reserves and other reserves. Statutory reserves can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into capital in proportion to the existing equity interests of shareholders, provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital. The appropriation of statutory reserve may cease to apply if the balance of the fund is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Pursuant to relevant PRC laws and articles of association of Tallyho, Hopsun, Anti-Aging and Xingpu, the appropriation to the statutory reserves and other reserves is 10% of net profit after taxation of respective entity, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP might differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Group’s subsidiaries.

As of December 31 and September 30, 2010, the statutory reserve recorded by the Group’s PRC subsidiaries amounted to $1,283,484, respectively.

(l) Revenue Recognition

The Group recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605. All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Group to recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue is recognized when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

(m) Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  These expenses consist of the costs of the Group’s internal research and development activities and the costs of developing new products and enhancing existing products. Research and development costs amounted to $68,011 and $53,038 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(n) Advertising

The Group expenses all advertising costs as incurred. The advertising expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,152 and nil, respectively.

(o) Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefits

Full-time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately $65,403 and $71,358 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(p) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (“$” or “US$”). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and VIE in the PRC is Renminbi (“RMB”) and in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”).

At the date a foreign currency transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured initially in the functional currency of the recording entity by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.  The increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows upon settlement of a transaction resulting from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which the transaction is denominated is recognized as foreign currency transaction gain or loss that is included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a foreign currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate.

The Company’s reporting currency is US$. Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries and VIE are translated at the current exchange rate at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting periods. Translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income.

(q) Income Taxes

The Group adopted ASC Topic 740  “Accounting for Income Taxes” that requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

The charge for taxation 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. 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.

 
9

 

Deferred tax is calculated at the 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 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 relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(r) Uncertain Tax Positions

The Group follows ASC Topic 740  “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. The Group did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions as of December 31 and September 30, 2010.

(s) Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260  “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares.

(t) Comprehensive Income

The Group follows ASC Topic 220  “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC Topic 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. During the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive income represents its net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

(u) Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, product and environmental liability, and tax matters. In accordance with ASC Topic 450 (SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”), the Group records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Group has not experienced any material service liability claims.

(v) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, prepayments and other receivables, short-term loans, accounts and notes payable, other payables and amounts due to related party. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group adopted ASC Topic 820-10  “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Group has not adopted ASC Topic 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, as these items are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
 
10

 

ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

-
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
-
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(w) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The FASB has issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2009-17 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This determination is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the Company’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance.  ASU 2009-17 also required additional disclosures concerning an enterprise’s continuing involvement with variable interest entities.  ASU 2009-17 is effective at the start of the Company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows but resulted in additional disclosures related to variable interest entities.
 
After October 30, 2010, the FASB issued several Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”)– ASU 2010-26 through ASU 2010-29 and ASU 2011-01, which do not require adoption until a future date, are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3 - Significant Risks

(a)    Foreign Currency Risk

The Group transacts all of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that RMB may be readily convertible into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

Additionally, the value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.

(b)  Concentration of Credit Risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable. As of December 31 and September 30, 2010, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers in the PRC. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

(c)  Concentration of Customers

The top six third-party customers accounted for approximately 8.7% of the consolidated revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and the top three third-party customers accounted for approximately 1.4% of the consolidated revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

The top six third-party customers accounted for 72.9% of the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and the top six third-party customers accounted for 67% of the accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010.

 
11

 

(d) Concentration of Suppliers

The top five third-party suppliers accounted for approximately 50.9% of the total purchase for materials and services for the three months ended December 31, 2010 while approximately 63.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

The top five third-party suppliers accounted for 46.3% of the accounts payable for materials and services as of December 31, 2010 and the top five third-party suppliers accounted for 56% of the accounts payable for materials and services as of September 30, 2010.

Note 4 – Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Group reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260  “Earnings per Share”.  ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings (loss) per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Note 17 - Taxation

The Company, its subsidiaries and VIE each file tax returns separately.

 
15

 

1) VAT

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of the PRC on the VAT and its implementing rules, all entities and individuals (“Taxpayers”) that are engaged in the sale of products in the PRC are generally required to pay the VAT at a rate of 17% of the gross sales proceeds received, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayers. Further, when exporting goods, the exporter is entitled to a portion of or all the refund of VAT that it has already paid or incurred. VAT Taxpayers can be divided into two categories, i.e., General VAT Taxpayer and Small Scale VAT Taxpayer. The Small Scale VAT Taxpayer is subject to a simplified VAT rate on the gross sales proceeds while all VAT previously paid, or input VAT, cannot be deductible for tax payment purpose. This simplified VAT tax rate was reduced to 3% effective January 1, 2009. Some of Hopsun’s branch offices are Small Scale VAT Taxpayers and subject to the simplified VAT rate of 3%,

Through our operating subsidiaries in China, we are engaged in the research, development, production and sale of polypeptide-based nutritional supplements, health foods, functional foods, nutricosmetics products and other related health and wellness products. Polypeptides are small molecular structures consisting of 10-50 amino acids and have been found to have high nutritional value and support body functions such as regulating immunological functions. We focus on enzyme engineering in order to produce micromolecular protein structures in the form of certain functional peptides for use as nutritional ingredients, additives and supplements.

We have developed over 70 different types of polypeptide-based nutritional products. Our key products include Polypeptide Protein Powder and Shenguo Polypeptide Capsules. Other functional polypeptide-based nutritional supplement products include lipid lowering soy peptide products. These products are manufactured using our proprietary processing methods.

Our products are primarily manufactured in our owned and operated production facilities located on 16,477 square meters of land in the Hannan Economic Development Zone in Wuhan, China, which are planned to be further expanded. Some of our nutritional supplements and personal care products are manufactured for us through contractual relationships with other manufacturing companies, in accordance with our own proprietary formulations. Our products currently being marketed and sold in China have been tested and approved by the relevant Chinese governmental hygiene and safety agencies such as the local bureaus of Ministry of Health and the State Food and Drug Administration. Our research and development efforts are conducted in three different R&D centers from basic peptide research to anti-aging focused applied research and related product development in Wuhan, China.

Our products are sold to customers both in China and internationally, with China currently being the primary market, through a combined network of sales personnel in our headquarters and throughout our branch sales offices in 15 provinces in China, wholesalers, distributors and private labeled partners.

We believe that we are one of the few companies in our industry with competitive prices and high quality of diversified nutritional products combined with excellent customer service.  We believe that we are one of the largest companies in China focusing on the development and production of functional peptide nutritional products.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $3,320,756 as compared to $5,746,590 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2,425,834 or 42.2%.  The decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease of our business-to-consumer, or B2C, sales of our branded polypeptide-based nutraceutical products of $2,865,738, or 49.5%, while our business-to-business, or B2B, sales of polypeptide-based ingredients and private-labeled products to other nutraceutical manufacturers and marketers increased by $294,212, or 295.5%, as compared to those in the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in our B2C sales is mainly due to reduced sales activities as a result of our B2C sales network restructuring and preparation for subsequent higher sale seasons.  Management expects that revenues will rebound in future periods.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $409,049, or approximately 12.3% of revenues, compared to $276,574, or approximately 4.8% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $132,475 or 47.9%.  The increase is mainly attributable to increase in overhead costs as a result of salary increase, additional depreciations of new equipment and utility cost increase.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased $2,558,309, or 46.8%, to $2,911,707, from $5,470,016 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The respective gross margins are 87.7% and 95.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  The decrease in gross profit is mainly due to the decrease in revenues and increase in costs of sales noted above.
 
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 totaled $3,687,532, or approximately 111.0% of revenues, compared to $4,302,838, or approximately 74.9% of revenues, for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $615,306, or 14.3%. Though the absolute value of selling and administrative expenses decreased, the proportion to revenues significantly increased. The significant increase in the proportion to revenues is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues.

Operating Income (Loss). An operating loss of $775,825, or approximately -23.4% of revenues, was incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to an operating income of $1,167,178, or approximately20.3% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1,943,003, or 166.5%. The operating loss is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues and increase in costs of sales in the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense totaled $29,215 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net interest expense of $17,560 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $11,655 or 66.4%.

Equity Loss in Affiliates. Equity loss in affiliates for the three months ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $6,731, a decrease of $1,106, or 14.1%, as compared to equity loss in affiliates of $7,837 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is due to the decrease in the net loss of an affiliate company in which the Company has a 40% equity interest and uses the equity method to account for such an investment.
 
21

 
Other Income (Expense). Other income was $44,129 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to other expense of $6,169 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an absolute change of $50,298. The change is mainly attributable to the subsidy income from governments during the three months ended December 31, 2010.
 
Income(Loss) before Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Loss before income tax expense (benefit) was $767,642, or approximately -23.1% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to income before income tax expense of $1,135,612, or approximately 19.8% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1,903,254, or -167.6%. The decrease in income before income tax expense is mainly attributable to the $2,425,834 decrease in revenues and the $132,475 increase in costs of sales during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss was $650,762, or approximately -19.6% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net income of $889,151, or approximately 15.5% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1,539,913, or -173.2%.   The decrease in net income is mainly attributable to the decrease of $2,425,834 in revenues, the increase of $132,475 in costs of sales during the three months ended December 31, 2010. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that our revenues and net income will resume growth in future periods resulting from, among other factors, growing market demands for anti-aging nutritional supplements, health foods and functional food products, our increased sales and marketing efforts after the restructuring of our sales network, our newly added manufacturing capacity to meet such increasing demands, our expansion into other high margin peptide-based product categories, as well as the PRC government’s increasing emphasis on domestic consumption as a key area for future sustained economic growth.

The Company has a loan facility agreement of RMB5,000,000 (approximately $756,224) with Wuhan Pan-Asia Peptide Material Research Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Pan-Asia”), an unrelated third party. Under such an agreement, Wuhan Pan-Asia lends to the Company, when needed, with the funds borrowed from Wuhan Rural Commercial Bank for part of which, i.e., RMB3,400,000 (approximately 514,232),  the Company pledges an office building as collateral.  Interest on the loan is paid by the Company monthly at the rate of 0.566%. As of December 31, 2010, the balance due to Wuhan Pan-Asia was nil.

We believe that we will require additional capital to finance any future manufacturing expansion, market channel expansion, changes in our business plan or other future capital intensive developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. To the extent it becomes necessary to raise additional capital, we may seek to raise it through the sale of debt and/or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, institutional debt financing or loans, or a combination of the foregoing. Other than as described above, we currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. If we decide to pursue any of the above projects, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to implement such project now or in the future, or if we do, the terms thereof.
  
We believe that our currently available funds, funds from operations and available financing is sufficient for us to continue our operations as presently conducted for at least the next twelve (12) months.


There is a capital commitment of $211,743 for the regional customer health center in Guangdong province, China as of December 31, 2010.  There is no capital commitment as of September 30, 2010.

Other than the above, we have no other long term debt, capital or operating lease or fixed purchase obligations under material contracts.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than with respect to our pledge of an office building owned by us in connection with the Wuhan Pan-Asia loan as described above, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Seasonality
 
In recent years, our revenues for the second and forth quarters in each fiscal year have been higher than revenues for the first and third fiscal quarters.  We believe that this is partially due to a number of major domestic festivals and holiday celebrations that occur in China around January and September, such as the Chinese New Year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations above is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Mr. Dongliang Chen, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Richard Liu, our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu concluded that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, which we are still in the process of remediating as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 for the description of these weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, the management concluded that: (1) we lacked qualified resources to perform our internal audit functions properly and that we have not yet fully developed the scope and effectiveness of our internal audit function; (2) we lacked an audit committee within our board to oversee the financial reporting pursuant to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations; and (3) our accounting staff lacked sufficient accounting skills and experience necessary to fulfill our public reporting obligations according to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations.

Our management is in the process of implementing remediation procedures to improve internal controls over financial reporting. We have already taken measures to remediate these material weaknesses by seeking additional financial reporting and accounting staff members with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules.   We are also in the process of implementing a rigorous process for collecting and reviewing information required for the preparation of the financial statements to meet our public accounting obligations according to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations with the support from the board and additional personnel experienced in U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules to be hired.

We have also engaged a professional consulting firm experienced in handling compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to internal control over financial reporting in order to assist us with improving our internal controls and meet the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the meantime, we have been searching and negotiating with several qualified candidates to serve as the audit committee members so as to establish an audit committee within the Board of Directors.  We are also in the process of establishing an internal audit function and will continue to hire more experienced personnel with expertise in U.S. public company financial reporting.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management remains committed to improving its internal control over financial reporting and will continue to work to put effective controls in place.

Other than the foregoing changes, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
