PART I

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding China YCT International Group, Inc. (“China YCT International Group”), its business and its financial prospects.  These statements represent Management’s present intentions and its present belief regarding the Company’s future.  Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from the results suggested in this Report.  A number of those risks are set forth in the section of this report titled “Risk Factors”.
 
Because these and other risks may cause China YCT International Group’s actual results to differ from those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report.  Readers should also take note that China YCT International Group will not necessarily make any public announcement of changes affecting these forward-looking statements, which should be considered accurate on this date only.

ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS

The Structure of our Business

China YCT International Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Landway Nano Bio-Tech Group, Inc., owns 100% of the registered capital of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical”), a corporation organized in 2005 under the laws of The People’s Republic of China. Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing gingko products in the People’s Republic of China.
 
 

 
 
From January 2006 until January 2007 management of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was engaged in developing the company’s manufacturing facility and distribution network.  In January 2007 Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical commenced revenue-producing activities; specifically distributing products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang Bioengineering Co., Ltd.
 
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was originally organized as a subsidiary of Shandong Yong Chun Tang for the purpose of focusing on advanced technology related to the use of gingko as an aide to health.  Shandong Yong Chun Tang later transferred ownership of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical to its equity-holders.  Through the end of its 2009 fiscal year on March 31, 2009, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical served solely as a distributor for Shandong Yong Chun Tang, pursuant to a distribution agreement that fixed the resale profit that would be earned by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical.
 
In March 2010, the Company purchased a patent from Shandong YCT for US$6.74 million, which enables the Company to manufacture and distribute medicine product for cardio cerebral vascular disease, cosmetic and own healthcare product production. The new medicine that introduced by the Company, Huoliyuan Capsule, is a self-manufactured national medicine approved by SFDA by the Company which bears a higher gross profit margin as compared to the products  manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. In the year of 2010, the Company has produced Huoliyuan Capsule for approximately 1.33 million boxes at RMB20 Yuan per box.

The purchase price for the patent was determined via negotiation between China YCT and Shandong YCT based on a valuation price of US$11.14 million. The patent for manufacturing method of deeply extracting ginkgo flavonoids that the Company acquired from Shandong YCT, was assessed by Beijing Beifang Yashi Asset Evaluation Company. The Company received an independent assessment, based on  the  current income value method, that the patent had a fair value of US$11.14 million.  Shandong YCT sold the patent to the Company at a discount from the assessed value because Shandong YCT retained a license to produce special some products based on the patent technology.

 
 

 
The Huoliyuan capsule is a national medicine approved by SFDA based on ginseng, which is manufactured according to the traditional Chinese medicine concepts.  It has a slow release and is good for daily use. It promotes the body’s condition by using tradition Chinese medicine materials in proportion. The therapeutic effect of Huoliyuan was tested by independent analysts, who found that Houliyan was good for the human cardiovascular system and as an aid in treatment of chronic hepatitis, diabetes, insomnia, memory loss, menopause syndrome, and other maladies.   Huoliyuan is sold at 20 Chinese Yuan (approx. $3.00) per box.
 
The profits from our health and beauty aid distribution business are adequate to fund our ongoing operations.  In order to fully implement its business plan, however, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical will require a large capital infusion to finance the creation of state-of-the-art facilities for the extraction of compounds from gingko and the formulation of products based on those compounds. The patent the Company bought from Shandong YCT in March 2010 when Mr. Yan was no longer the shareholder of Shandong Yongchuntang, represents an exclusive right in China to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in gingko product manufacturing process, with a remaining legal life of 16.5 years.  The Company is amortizing the cost on a straight line basis over 16.5 years.

The Market for Gingko
 
Traditional Chinese medicine recommends consumption of gingko tea to improve circulation and pulmonary function.  Although scientific testing of the health benefits traditionally attributed to gingko has been inconclusive to date, there remains a widespread belief in the benefits of a regimen of gingko consumption.  In particular, the potential use of gingko to alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease has recently attracted considerable attention.  Today, therefore, the flavonoid aglycone, a compound derived from the gingko plant, is used throughout the world in pharmaceutical formulations as well as in food and cosmetic products.
 
 

 
 
The annual worldwide consumption of various gingko extracts exceeds 460 tons, of which over 80% is produced in China.  A large portion of the Chinese production, however, is extracted from gingko biloba, and lacks aglycone.  Ironically, the primary sources of aglycone-rich extracts are outside of China.  Our business plan is to compete directly with these international competitors.  The advantages that we bring to the competition will be a substantially lower cost of production and advanced extraction technology.
 
Research and Development:  Our Products
 
Our goal is to utilize advanced biological technology to isolate and extract the beneficial compounds in plants that have traditionally been known to have medicinal benefits, primarily gingko.  Toward that end, we have a staff of ten currently engaged in research and development of new technologies and resulting products.  In addition we maintain close ties to the research staffs at Tsinghua University, China Agriculture University, Shandong Herbal Medicine University, and the Shandong Herbal Medicine Research Institute.
 
Through March 31, 2009 we have invested approximately $181,531 in research and development.  The immediate result of our efforts has been three patents awarded by the Chinese government: Our R&D expenses was primarily used for acquiring and testing raw material, and also the ordinary maintenance  expense for our research equipment.

Our new product, Huoliyuan Capsule.
 
Huoliyuan Capsule is a self-manufactured product by the Company which bears a higher gross profit margin as compared to products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. In the year of 2010, the Company has produced Huoliyuan Capsule for approximately 1.33 million boxes at RMB20 Yuan per box. Huoliyuan Capsule, as a medicine product, could effectively improve the situation of human's cardiac and kidney deficiency, and is helpful for forgetfulness, insomnia, and memory loss. 

 
 

 
 
Facilities
 
Through March 31, 2010, we have $4,627,665 construction in progress, which will be mainly used to facilitate the full production of Huoliyuan Capsule, after the construction is officially complete. The designated annual production capacity of the Huoliyuan Capsule manufacturing factory is $16 million. Our new factory includes a powder injection production line and cleaning and purifying equipment.

The factory that in the construction includes a pin powder workshop, and a solid manufacturing workshop. Huoliyuan is manufactured in a dedicated workshop, and the number 2 workshop is our researching facility. As of right now, the company has no immediate plan to build more workshops or factories.
 
After the Houliyan Capsule manufacturing facility is completed, our plan is to develop a state of the art enzyme extraction facility for the utilization of gingko compounds. Achievement of that goal will depend on our ability to obtain substantial additional funds. We estimated it would be around 10 million dollars.
 
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical operates on a property of approximately 1,700 acres that it occupies under a 50 year lease.  Besides housing our executive offices, the property is home to a manufacturing facility measuring 17,200 m2 and a research facility measuring 3,000 m2.   The greater portion of the property, 1,647 acres, is dedicated to agricultural use, primarily the production of gingko. For the fiscal year 2009, we produced 2,300 tons of gingko leaves on our farm. In addition we have reached cooperative agreements with gingko growers in Shandong Province who control approximately 33,000 acres.
 
The manufacturing facility developed by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical has received GMP (good manufacturing practices) certification by the Chinese government. The company has also achieved ISO9000 certification of its management processes. GMP is the only certified manufacturing standard certificate that authorized by the Chinese government. Nowadays, only companies that pass GMP standard and obtain the certificate that issued by Chinese government are able to manufacture medicine and related products.
 
 
 

 
The farm operated by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical is operated in a manner consistent with the requirements for organic certification by the Organic Foods Development Center.  The farm has been certified as “green” by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, which reflects the company’s dedication to organic agricultural methods. 
 
Marketing
 
As of right now, our current operations consist of distributing 10 products. As compared to our previous operations, we selected and picked up 10 products out of the old 34 products that we used to distribute to operate. Since these 10 products are the best sales out of the old 34. We expect that our future result of operations will increased because of this decision. Our current operations consist of distributing 34 products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang, and Huoliyuan Capsule manufactured on our own.  Through March 31, 2010 we conducted the distribution business pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Contract that we signed on December 26, 2006.  The Contract sets forth the wholesale prices at which we purchase products from Shandong Yong Chun Tang.  On Feb 19, 2010, we renew a Purchase and Sale Contract with Shandong Yong Chun Tang  to sales the top 10 products that we selected them according to their sales and profits from Shandong Yong Chun Tang.
 
We market through a network of approximately 2000 franchise stores. Our in-house marketing staff supervises independent primary dealers, who sub-distribute through networks of supermarkets, beauty parlors and other retail sites.  This network allows us to accomplish broad geographic distribution with a marketing staff of only eight, thus keeping our overhead to a minimum.
 
When we commence marketing our proprietary gingko products, we intend to use our distribution network as the backbone for a multi-dimensional marketing program.  The key overlay onto our established marketing network will be an Internet distribution program designed to both promote local sales by our distribution network and enable customers to purchase our products online.  Our goal will be to establish worldwide online distribution of our products.  Towards that end we have established a strategic distribution agreement with China National Post Logistics, a subsidiary of China Post, which has 31 provincial offices located throughout China.
 
Employees
 
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical currently employs 151 individuals, each on a full-time basis.  11 employees are involved in administration; 8 are dedicated to marketing, 8 to research and development.  The remainder of its employees are involved in workshops.
 
 

 
 
ITEM 1A                      RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock.  If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Because we have not yet commenced our gingko production operations, unexpected factors may hamper our efforts to implement our business plan.
 
Our business plan contemplates that we will become a fully-integrated grower, manufacturer and marketer of products derived from gingko.  At the present time, however, our business largely consists of distributing health and beauty aids manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang.  In order to fully implement our business plan, we will have to successfully complete the development of an agricultural facility and an industrial facility.   The complexity of this undertaking means that we are likely to face many challenges, some of which are not yet foreseeable.  Problems may occur with our raw material production and with the roll-out of efficient manufacturing processes.  If we are not able to minimize the costs and delays that result, our business plan may fall short of its goals, and the current profitability or our distribution activities may be offset by losses from the new gingko business.

The capital investments that we plan may result in dilution of the equity of our present shareholders.
 
Our business plan contemplates that we will invest approximately $40 million in capital improvements during the next five years.  At very least, we estimate that we will be unable to achieve profitable operations as an independent producer of gingko products unless we invest over $10 million in our facility.  We intend to raise the largest portion of the necessary funds by selling equity in our company.  At present we have no commitment from any source for those funds.  We cannot determine, therefore, the terms on which we will be able to raise the necessary funds.  It is possible that we will be required to dilute the value of our current shareholders’ equity in order to obtain the funds.  If, however, we are unable to raise the necessary funds, our growth will be limited, as will our ability to compete effectively.
 
 
 

 
 
We are subject to the risk of natural disasters.
 
We intend to produce the greater portion of our raw materials.  In particular, we intend to produce our own gingko.  Gingko is a very sensitive crop, which can be readily damaged by harsh weather, by disease, and by pests.  If our crops are destroyed by drought, flood, storm, blight, or the other woes of farming, we will not be able to meet the demands of our manufacturing facility, which will then become inefficient and unprofitable.  In addition, if we are unable to produce sufficient products to meet demand, our distribution network is likely to atrophy.  This could have a long-term negative effect on our ability to grow our business, in addition to the near-term loss of income.
 
If we lost control of our distribution network, our business would fail.
 
We depend on our distribution network for the success of our business.  Competitors may seek to pull our distribution network away from us.  In addition, if dominant members of our distribution network become dissatisfied with their relationship with Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical, a concerted effort by the distribution network could force us to accept less favorable financial terms from the distribution network.  Either of these possibilities, if realized, would have an adverse effect on our business.

Increased government regulation of our production and/or marketing operations could diminish our profits.
 
At present, there is no significant government regulation of the health claims that participants in our industry make regarding their products.  In addition, there is only limited government regulation of the conditions under which we will manufacture our products.  Other developed countries, such as the United States and, in particular, members of the European Community, have far more extensive regulation of the operations of nutraceuticals and plant-based cosmetics, including strict limitations on the health-related claims that can be made without scientifically-tested evidence.  It is not unlikely, therefore, that China will increase its regulation of our activities in the future.  To the extent that new regulations required us to conduct a regimen of scientific tests of the efficacy of our products, the expense of such testing would reduce our profitability.  In addition, to the extent that the health benefits of some of our products could not be fully supported by scientific evidence, our sales might be reduced.
 
 

 

Our business and growth will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key personnel that are in high demand.
 
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled agronomists, biologists, chemists, industrial technicians, production supervisors, and marketing personnel.  In general, qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand.  In a specialized scientific field, such as ours, the demand for qualified individuals is even greater.  If we are unable to successfully attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed, we will be unable to implement our business plan.
 
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in China.
 
The People’s Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with.  We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public company.  If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.
 
Government regulation may hinder our ability to function efficiently.
 
The day-to-day operations of our business will require frequent interaction with representatives of the Chinese government institutions.  The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be daunting.  Significant delays can result from the need to obtain governmental approval of our activities.  These delays can have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations.  In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to agriculture and to nutraceutical manufacturing and marketing may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect our profitability.
 
 

 
 
Anti-corruption measures taken by the government to correct corruptive practices in the pharmaceutical industry could adversely affect our sales and reputation.
 
The government has recently taken anti-corruption measures to correct corrupt practices. In the pharmaceutical industry, such practices include, among others, acceptance of kickbacks, bribery or other illegal gains or benefits by the hospitals and medical practitioners from pharmaceutical distributors in connection with the prescription of a certain drug. Substantially all of our sales to our ultimate customers are conducted through third-party distributors. We have no control over our third-party distributors, who may engage in corrupt practices to promote our products. While we maintain strict anti-corruption policies applicable to our internal sales force and third-party distributors, these policies may not be effective. If xxx or any of our third-party distributors engage in such practices and the government takes enforcement action, our products may be seized and our own practices, and involvement in the distributors’ practices, investigated. If this occurs, our sales and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.
 
In addition, government-sponsored anti-corruption campaigns from time to time could have a chilling effect on our efforts to reach new hospital customers. Our sales representatives primarily rely on hospital visits to better educate physicians on our products and promote our brand awareness. Recently, there have been occasions on which our sales representatives were denied access to hospitals in order to avoid the perception of corruption. If this attitude becomes widespread among our potential customers, our ability to promote our products will be adversely affected
 
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United States.
 
The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
 
 

 

Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our operating results.
 
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical generates revenues and incurs expenses and liabilities in Renminbi, the currency of the People’s Republic of China.  However, as a subsidiary of China YCT International Group, it reports its financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars.  As a result, our financial results will be subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies.  From time to time, the government of China may take action to stimulate the Chinese economy that will have the effect of reducing the value of Renminbi.  In addition, international currency markets may cause significant adjustments to occur in the value of the Renminbi.  Any such events that result in a devaluation of the Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar will have an adverse effect on our reported results.  We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.
 
We have limited business insurance coverage.
 
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

China YCT International Group is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
 
The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors.  If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them.  As a result, the shareholders of China YCT International Group will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of China YCT International Group.

ITEM 7.                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

Results of Operations
 
Net Sales
 
During the year ended March 31, 2010, we realized $32,012,404 in revenue, representing an increase of 24% or $6,194,957 as compared to $25,817,447 for the same period of 2009. During the past year of operations, a total of 35 products each contributed to revenue, including health care supplements, cosmetics and toiletries and daily necessities, and no single product has accounted for more than 20% of our revenue, reflecting that the company was and is not heavily reliant on the sales of any single production line.
 
In March 2010, the Company purchased a patent from Shandong YCT for $6.74 million, which enables the Company to manufacture and distribute their own medicine, healthcare and cosmetics products from Gingko extract .Huoliyuan Capsule is a self-manufactured medicine by the Company which bears a higher gross profit margin as compared to products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. We expect that  in 2011, the revenue generated from Huoliyuan, which is in house produced, willaccount for 40% of our total annual sales.
 
The patent the Company bought from Shandong YCT in March 2010 represents an exclusive right (subject to rights retained by Shandong YCT) in China to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in gingko product manufacturing process, with a remaining legal life of 16.5 years.  The Company is amortizing the cost on a straight line basis over 16.5 years. During fiscal year 2009, which ended on March 31, 2009, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical realized $25,817,447 in revenue.  For the year of 2010, which ended on March 31, 2010, the Company realized $32,012,404 in revenue, including 12% of the total revenue generated by the distribution of our new product Huoliyuan Capsule. The overall increase in revenue year over year was approximately 24%.
 
 88% of our total revenue was contributed by the resale of products purchased by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical from Shandong Yong Chun Tang. The purchases were made pursuant to a Purchase & Sale Contract dated December 26, 2006, which sets forth the wholesale price that Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical pays to Shandong Yong Chun Tang for each of the 34 products governed by the Contract.  
 
 

 

Since Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical is an independent distributor for Shandong Yong Chun Tang during all period, its resale prices are determined in large part by competition.  For that reason, the gross margin realized by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was nearly identical in each quarter of this fiscal year, averaging 56%, despite the significant growth in sales from year to year.
 
Cost of Good Sold
 
Our costs of revenue consist of the cost of manufacturing Huoliyuan Capsule and the cost of finished goods purchased from Shandong Yong Chun Tang and our direct labor overhead and other expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2010, our cost of good sold totaled $14,201,533, representing an increase of 2,877,946 or 25% as compared to $11,323,587 for the same period of 2009. However, the percentages of the costs of good sold to total revenues basically remained unchanged from quarter to quarter. Our cost ratio is relatively steady. It is primarily attributable to the steady relationship between us and our major supplier, Shandong Yong Chun Tang. As a result, we are always able to acquire products from a reliable source. The cost of manufacturing Huoliyuan Capsule was approximately 10% of the total cost of good sold.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $17,810,871, an increase of 23% or $3,317,011 as compared to the same period for the prior year. Because of the steady cost ratio, the increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increased sales volume for the quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately 56% for the year ended March 31, 2010. Our gross margin largely remained the same as compared to the same period of 2009.
 
Research and Development Expenses. 
 
Our R&D expenses for the year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $322,270 or approximate 1% of total corresponding revenue and $181,531 or approximately 0.7% of total corresponding revenue, respectively. As compared to the same period of 2009, our R&D expenses increased by $140,739. The increase is the result of utilizing additional outside experts during the period.
 
 

 
 
Our long term goal is to utilize advanced biological technology to refine and extract the beneficial compounds in plants that have traditionally been known to have medicinal benefits, primarily gingko. As of March 31, 2010, we have 19 R&D staff. Our R&D staff is currently engaged in research and development of new technologies and resulting products. In addition, we maintain close ties to the research staffs at Tsinghua University, China Agriculture University, Shandong Herbal Medicine University, and the Shandong Herbal Medicine Research Institute.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
 
During the year ended March 31, 2010, we efficiently managed our overall SG&A expense. Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of sales commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Our overall SG&A expenses for year ended March 31, 2010 were $4,840,145 or 15% of our total revenue for the period, representing an increase of 1% as compared with the SG&A expenses ratio for the same period of the year earlier.
 
Our G&A expenses for the year ended March 31, 2010 increased by 87% or $591,287 as compared to the prior year. These increases were primarily a result of the overhead incurred in developing and maintaining the facilities for the manufacture of Huoliyuan Capsule, as compared to the fact that the Company did not have such expense previously. Other reasons include:

·
Increased advertising expenses, which we incurred in order to enhance our promotion force. 

·
Increased salary, which we instituted in order to inspire our marketing staff. 
·
Increased  travel expenses, again resulting from nationwide cost increases.
 
 
 

 
Net Income
 
For the year ended March 31, 2010, we realized $9,453,059 in net income, representing a 26% or $1,971,516 increase as compared to $7,481,543 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The increase was in compliance with the increased sales during the year.
 
Our business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; while the translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $22,188 to our other comprehensive income.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2010, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical had $8,557,543 in working capital, a decrease of $2,442,837 or 22% as compared to the working capital as of March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable caused by the acquisition of manufacturing equipment for Huoliyuan Capsule operation. The accounts payable increased to $2,299,928 by $1,843,360 or 404% for March 31, 2010, as compared to the previous year. As of March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $11,911,933, an increase by $1,863,553 or 18% from $10,048,380 as of March 31, 2009.
 
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents balances, as well as cash forecast by management to be generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital requirements for our current operations. Our operations have produced positive cash flow, with $14,097,423 provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2010. We did not have accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2010. We expect our marketing activities to continue to operate cash-positively. We commenced our own manufacturing operations during this year, which has put some pressure on our cash flow. In the ongoing basis, we may be required to seek additional capital and reduce certain spending as needed. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms.
 
 

 
 
In order to fully implement our business plan, however, we will require capital contributions far in excess of our current asset value. Our budget for bringing our manufacturing facility to an operating level that assures profitability is $10 million. To fully implement our business plan - including development of a facility to utilize our proprietary method of extracting flavones from ginkgo by using enzyme technology - we will need $40 million. Our expectation, therefore, is that we will seek to access the capital markets in both the U.S. and China to obtain the funds we require. At the present time, however, we do not have commitments of funds from any source.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $14,097,423 for the year ended March 31, 2010, which was an increase of 46% or $4,482,928 from the $9,614,495 net cash provided by operating activities for the same period a year earlier. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of annual net income. The collection of accounts receivable of $2,075,549 from related parties, and the increase of $1,843,360 in accounts payable also preserved cash for the Company's business operation.
 
 
 
 

 
Investing Activities
 
During the year ended March 31, 2010, our net cash used in investing activities was $12,262,021, as compared to $1,330,350 of net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2009. This change was primarily due to the fact that in March 2010, the Company purchased a patent when Mr. Yan was no longer the shareholder of Shandong YCT, from Shandong YCT for $6,738,643.  In addition, the Company used $5,523,378 in cash for the purchase of plant and operating equipment.
 
The Company's property and equipment assets increased by 21% or $895,481 from $4,138,115 to $5,033,596 year over year as of March 31, 2010. During 2010, the construction in progress and the Company's intangible assets increased to $4,627,665 and $8,093,111 from $211,378 and $1,411,273 respectively. The revenue generated from the resale of Shandong YCT's  products still comprised the overwhelming proportion of our total annual revenue in the year of 2010.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has collected all accounts receivable in the amount of $2,075,549 from Shandong YCT and Changqing Paper Co., Ltd. Shandong YCT and Changqing Paper Co., Ltd are two affiliated companies owned by our chairman and controlling shareholder, Mr. Yan Tinghe as of Dec 16, 2009.   

Financing Activities

No net cash was generated or used by financing activities over the year ended March 31, 2010.
 
Stockholder’s Equity
 
On May 11, 2009, June 29, 2009, and December 30, 2009, the Company issued 20,000, 25,000, and 36,231 shares of common stock in the form of restricted shares to the 3 independent directors as compensation for their services. The shares were valued at the average closing market price of the common stock for the five trading days preceding and including the date stock was issued.
 
 

 
 
The total amount of the compensation in the form of issuing shares of common stock to the independent directors was $75,522 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  There was no common stock compensation to the independent directors for the year ended March 31, 2009.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have made no material changes to our critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of financial statements for fiscal year 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance related to subsequent events under ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events. This guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management or a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have included the required disclosures in our consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
 

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. This guidance amends ASC 810-10-15 to replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with a primarily qualitative approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in VIEs. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of the reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and earlier adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01 which amends ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This guidance states that the ASC will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Once effective, the Codification’s content will carry the same level of authority. Thus, the U.S. GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels of U.S. GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. This is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted  ASC 105 as of September 30, 2009 and thus have incorporated the new Codification citations in place of the corresponding references to legacy accounting pronouncements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This Update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure the fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability or similar liabilities when traded as an asset, which would be considered a Level 1 input, or another valuation technique that is consistent with ASC 820. This Update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. Thus, we adopted this guidance as of September 30, 2009, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB amended existing authoritative guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, adoption may have on its financial statements or disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
China YCT International Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of China YCT International Group, Inc. as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010. The management of China YCT International Group, Inc. is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China YCT International Group, Inc. as of March 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for period ended March 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHINA YCT INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

China YCT International Group, Inc. (“China YCT”) was incorporated in the State of Florida, in the United States (the “US”) in January 1989.   China YCT principally operates through the following directly owned subsidiaries: Landway Nano Bio-Tech, Inc. (100% owned), incorporated in Delaware, in United States, and Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Spring”), (100% owned), incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). China YCT International Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

China YCT, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Spring, is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing gingko and other dietary supplement products in the PRC.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China YCT, Landway Nano and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Spring.  All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include: the valuation of inventory, and estimated useful lives and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 
F-7
 
 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the management’s assessment of the recoverability of accounts and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the current credit worthiness of each customer and the related aging analysis. The Company had no accounts receivable as of March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Inventory

Inventory is primarily composed of raw materials and packing materials for manufacturing, work in process, and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost.
 
Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-like method over the following useful lives:
 
 Buildings and improvements        
  30-35 years
 Machinery, equipment and automobiles 
  7-15 years
                                                  
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
Intangible Assets

(i)Land Use Rights:

All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company.  However, the government may grant a “land use right” to occupy, develop and use land. The Company records land use rights obtained as intangible assets at cost, which is amortized evenly over the grant period of 50 years.

(ii)Patent:

The patent is the Company’s exclusive right to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in the gingko product manufacturing process for a period of 20 years from the patent application date, and was purchased from Shandong YCT in March 2010.  The patent was recorded at cost when purchased, and is being amortized over the shorter of its remaining legal life, 16.5 years, or its useful life, on a straight-line basis.

 
F-7
 
 
 

 
Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, included in the Codification as ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

Unearned revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods or services is recognized at the time that goods are delivered or services are rendered. Receipts in advance for goods to be delivered or services to be rendered in a subsequent period are carried forward as unearned revenue.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured based on the fair value of the asset, is recognized if expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income tax under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (”SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There were no deferred tax amounts at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Value-added tax

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a Value-Added Tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 4% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.

 
F-8
 
 
 
 
 

 
The Company did not have any recorded VAT Payable or VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is usually filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.

Research and development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company’s developing its intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The research and development expense for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $322,270 and $181,531, respectively.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs for newspaper and television are expensed as incurred.  The Company incurred advertising costs of $973,580 and $1,372,580 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Mailing and handling costs

The Company accounts for mailing and handling fees in accordance with the FASB ASC 605-45 (Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs). The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net revenues. Amounts incurred by the Company for freight are included in cost of goods sold. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred $1,425,597 and $1,123,018 mailing and handling costs, respectively.

Net income (loss) per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (convertible preferred stock, forward contracts, warrants to purchase common stock, contingently issuable shares, common stock options and warrants and their equivalents using the treasury stock method) were exercised or converted into common stock. There are no common stock equivalents available for dilution purposes as of March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 
F-9
 
 
 

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company did not identify any financial instruments that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value other than those whose carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Foreign currency translation

The accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiary are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiary were translated into USD in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters,” with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiary. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of income items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income.
 
F-10
 
 
 

 

Translation adjustments resulting from this process amounted to $1,152,764 and $1,130,576 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The following exchange rates were adopted to translate the amounts from RMB into United States dollars (“USD$”) for the respective years:

Year End RMB Exchange Rate (RMB/USD$)

New accounting pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP also amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted this pronouncement.  The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted an authoritative pronouncement issued by the FASB regarding recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. The pronouncement amends the other-than-temporary impairment pronouncement in US GAAP for debt securities to make the pronouncement more operational, and improves the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in financial statements. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted an authoritative pronouncement issued by the FASB regarding determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. The pronouncement provides clarification on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction that is not orderly. The pronouncement emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under the then current market conditions. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted an authoritative pronouncement issued by the FASB regarding subsequent events. The objective of the pronouncement is to establish general standards for the accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, the pronouncement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
F-11
 
 
 

 

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) as issued by the FASB. The ASC has become the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and provides that all such pronouncements carry an equal level of authority. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement that changes how a company determines whether an entity should be consolidated when such entity is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled by the company through voting (or similar rights). The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, the entity’s purpose and design and the company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The pronouncement retains the scope of previously issued pronouncements but added entities previously considered qualifying special purpose entities, since the concept of these entities was eliminated by FASB. The pronouncement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance amends previous guidance on fair value measurements to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurement on a gross basis rather than on a net basis as currently required. This guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used

to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activities of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Early application is permitted and, in the period of initial adoption, entities are not required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 9.               CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH   ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A.                   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 (a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective.
 
(b)           Changes in internal controls.
 
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c) 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of March 31, 2010, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
 
Because of 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.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
32
 
 
 
 

 
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified one material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  This material weakness consisted of:
 
Lack of expertise in U.S accounting principles among the personnel in our Chinese headquarters.  Our books are maintained and our financial statements are prepared by the personnel employed at our executive offices in Shandong Province in the People’s Republic of China.  Few of our employees have experience or familiarity with U.S accounting principles.  The lack of personnel in our Shandong office who are trained in U.S. accounting principles is a weakness because it could lead to improper classification of items and other failures to make the entries and adjustments necessary to comply with U.S. GAAP.
  
Management is currently reviewing its staffing and their training in order to remedy the weaknesses identified in this assessment.  To date, we are not aware of significant accounting problems resulting from these weaknesses; so we have to weigh the cost of improvement against the benefit of strengthened controls.  However, because of the above conditions, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2010.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
