PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

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

Our Business

We are a green and organic food producer headquartered in Fujian Province, China. We grow, process and distribute over 100 varieties of fresh and processed agricultural products. Our product offerings can be generally grouped into the following three main categories:

  • Bamboo shoot products

  • Fresh vegetables and fruits

  • Processed vegetables

We are one of the leading producers of organic bamboo shoot products in China and revenues from bamboo shoots accounted for approximately 52% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2010 and 79% of our revenue in the first quarter of 2011.

We are vertically integrated with operations that include the planting, harvesting, processing, packaging and selling of final products. Through our vertically integrated model, we offer direct and strict control over our fresh agricultural products, which we believe allows us to generate high margins and provide stronger guarantees for product quality compared to providers that are not vertically integrated.

As of March 31, 2011 , we have the right to use, through long-term lease contracts and transfer of land use right, over approximately 30,500 acres (123.43 square kilometers) of bamboo forest, and, through long-term lease contracts, over approximately 12,500 acres (50.59 square kilometers) of vegetable planting bases. All of our production operations are conducted in China. Our state-of-art food processing facilities are located in Nanping City, Fujian Province, an area that is well-known for producing organic and premium agricultural products, including bamboo shoots, in China. We conduct processing through two subsidiaries, Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd and Fujian Yaxin Food Co., Ltd with a total annual capacity of 150,000 metric tons of processed agricultural products. We own a 6,000-metric ton cold storage warehouse as at March 31, 2011.

We sell our products through an extensive sales and distribution network, consisting of our own sales force as well as more than 100 distributors for the Chinese market and 20 distributors for the Japanese market. Our domestic sales network covers 10 provinces and cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Henan, and Guangdong in China. We sell our products to farmer's markets and supermarkets in Fujian Province and Shanghai and to food manufacturers and restaurants in China. In China, we sell both processed and fresh agricultural products. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, we derived approximately 94% of our revenue domestically and have established strong brand equity in the Chinese market. We also sell our products through distributors to supermarkets, food manufacturers and restaurants in the Japanese market. We sell semi-finished and final processed products to Japan. Sales to the Japanese market contributed approximately 6% of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our net sales were $25.9 million compared to $22.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of $3.2 million or approximately 14%.  Net income was relatively unchanged at $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2010. Our gross margin for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 30%.

Our sales revenue grew approximately 81% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 to $72.1 million, from $39.8 million in the prior year. Net income grew approximately 78% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 to $21.6 million, from $12.1 million in the prior year. Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately 36%.

Our Industry

The Bamboo shoot industry

Bamboo is a group of perennial evergreen plants and is one of the fastest growing woody plants in the world. Bamboo shoots are edible and widely used in a number of Asian dishes and broths. Bamboo shoots are low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium; yet they are a good source of protein, vitamin E, niacin, iron, and dietary fiber. (Source: www.wikipedia.com and www.nutritiondata.com)

China has over 10 million total acres (40,468 square kilometers) of bamboo forest, placing it first in the world (Source: China Bamboo Shoot Association). China is also the largest producer of bamboo shoot products with over 90% of global market share (Source: China Bamboo Shoot Association). The overall Chinese bamboo shoot industry is highly fragmented; there are currently over 2,000 companies producing bamboo shoots in China.

Organic food products industry

The global organic food market has experienced over 30% growth in the past few years. China is one of the world's fastest growing markets for organic food products both in terms of consumer demand and commercial production. Sales of organic food products reached $900 million in China in 2007, and accounted for only 1.5% of the global market share. (Source: www.ofcc.org.cn). The Organic Food Certificate Center estimates that China will account for more than 5% of the global organic food industry within the next ten years. (Source: www.ofcc.org.cn)

China's approach to organic food is somewhat unique to other countries, in that the organic food space is segmented into Certified Organic and Green Food. "Green Food" refers to safe, fine quality and nutritious food produced and processed under the principals of sustainable development and certified by China Green Food Development Center based on special standards and permitted to be sold with green food logo. Organic food production requires that no chemical be used in the process. The objectives of Green Food are low environmental impact, good food safety and social efficiency. China has adopted the Green Food certifications as an alternative to full Organic certification, enabling the production of nutritious and safe foods, without the typical drop in agricultural production output that full Organic certification could cause. (Source: Wikipedia: Organic Food; Organic Food Certification) We sell products that are certified as Green Food, as well as products that are certified as Organic Food under the JAS (Japanese Agriculture Standard).

China has a strong and growing organic and green food industry. The rising popularity of organic and green foods is driven by a number of factors. First and foremost is the increasing concern of China's rising middle class with food safety. The food safety concerns relate to both the short term purity and nutrition of the food, as well as longer term concerns on the and potential health impact of chemicals that are used in the production of the food. There is also increasing concern with the impact of agricultural production on the environment and the residual effects of agricultural chemicals on the ecosystem.

Our Competition

At present, there are thousands of bamboo shoot producers in China. The market is competitive and highly fragmented. In a letter dated March 12, 2010 from the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association to the Trademark Office of State Administration of Industry and Commerce of China, the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association recommended the “Yada” trademark of Fujian Yada as a “Famous Trademark of China”, and stated in the letter that “Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd. is one of the largest producers of boiled bamboo shoots products and dried vegetables in China”. Based on the information in this letter, we believe we are one of the largest producers of bamboo shoot food products in China.

We attribute our success to date and our potential for future growth to a combination of strengths, including the following:

  • The vertical integration of planting bases and production lines.

-7-


  • The strategic location of our production facilities.

  • Our diversified and seasonally complementary product portfolio.

  • A traceable and systematic quality control system that ensures high quality products.

  • Strong R&D capability which allows us to continuously develop new high value-added products.

  • A leading market position and significant brand equity.

  • A multi-layered sales channel and an extensive sales network in Chinese and Japanese markets.

Our Growth Strategy

We are focused on leveraging industry opportunities and our competitive strengths to become China's leading brand for green and organic food products through the following initiatives:

  • Expand our planting base.

  • Improve profitability through introduction of new high value added products.

  • Further expand our domestic sales and distribution network and enter new markets.

  • Increase our cold storage capacity.

  • Further enhance our brand recognition.

Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

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

Risks Related to Our Business

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

-11-


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

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

We do not have product liability insurance and have not made provisions for potential product liability claims. Therefore, we may not have adequate resources to satisfy a judgment if a successful claim is brought against us. Even if a product liability claim is not successfully pursued to judgment by a claimant, we may still incur substantial legal expenses defending against such a claim. Finally, serious product quality concerns could result in governmental action against us, which, among other things, could result in the suspension of production or distribution of our products, loss of certain licenses, or other governmental penalties.

Our business and financial results depend on maintaining a consistent and cost-effective supply of source foods. Any interruption in our supply of source foods could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

The availability, size, quality and cost of bamboo and other source foods for the production of our products are subject to risks inherent to farming, such as crop size, quality, and yield fluctuation caused by poor weather and growing conditions, natural disasters, pest and disease problems, and other factors beyond our control. Any such occurrence on or near our planting bases could result in raw material shortages.

Currently, we source majority of our food products from our farms that we operate. We also acquire some raw materials direct from farmers or from wholesalers. While we believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials and that we in general maintain good supplier relationships, if we are unable to continue to find adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us, it will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

Prices for agricultural products vary significantly based upon the available supply of the product, and any shortfall in our own supply, or an abundance of supply from third parties could have a significant impact on our profitability.

Our fresh products are perishable and must be sold within a specified time following harvest. For source foods that we do not obtain from our own planting bases, the wholesale prices at which we acquire them are determined by the market and may change from time to time. As a result, we are generally required to accept the prevailing market price at the time the product is harvested. We are seeking to mitigate this risk through increasing our cold storage facilities and expanding the usable life of certain of our products. These steps extend the useful life of our products, but do not eliminate their perishable nature. If we experience a substantial drop in the volume of our raw materials, whether the result of natural conditions, blight, or an inability to secure product from third parties, our revenues and profitability would suffer. Conversely, even if we generate significant volume, if demand is weak, or if there is substantial supply, the market price for products may decline and impair our revenues and profitability.

-12-


We benefit from certain preferential tax policies and subsidies for agricultural producers in China; the discontinuation or loss of any of these policies or subsidies would increase our expenses and reduce our profitability.

The revenues we generate from the sale of certain products that we produce and sell are currently exempt from China's value added tax and enterprise income tax. Pursuant to PRC tax laws and regulations, the proceeds from the sale of certain high PH bamboo shoots, all fresh bamboo shoot products, bamboo wood and fresh vegetables, regardless whether consumed within the PRC or exported overseas, are exempt from VAT. In addition, tax rebates of VAT on purchases are currently offered to all processed food products which are exported overseas. We enjoyed export tax rebates of VAT on purchases of $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In addition, we also enjoy full exemption of income tax in respect of revenue generated from our self-produced fresh bamboo shoot products, bamboo wood, fresh vegetables and certain high PH bamboo shoots. We did not pay any income taxes in 2010 or 2009 on revenues from sales of fresh bamboo shoot products, certain high PH bamboo shoots, bamboo wood or fresh fruits and vegetables. This exemption is reviewed on an annual basis and can be eliminated at any time.

The Ministry of Agriculture and the Agriculture Department of Fujian Province subsidizes a portion of the interest payments on our outstanding commercial loans. In addition, the provincial government in Fujian Province subsidizes certain utilities costs, including water. Elimination of any of the foregoing tax exemptions or subsidies would increase our taxes and expenses and reduce our profitability.

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

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brand by our targeted consumers. We have obtained the following trademarks: "幸福仁佳", "亚利达", "亚达飘香", "茶坪", "白熊" (“white bear” in Chinese), "小孩儿" (“little children” in Chinese), "维多嘉", "圣达" (“Shengda” in Chinese) under application No. 7526764, "利好", "早上好" (“good morning” in Chinese), "大眼晶", "亚达工夫" (“Yada Kong Fu” in Chinese), "亚达" (composed of a rectangle image and the Chinese characters of “Yada”) under application No. 7748481 and "亚达" (composed of an image with two circles and the Chinese characters of “Yada”) under application No. 7526798, No. 7528872 and No. 7662856. We have pending trademark applications for "武夷圣果" under application No. 7904598, "圣达" (“Shengda” in Chinese) under application No. 7528819 and "亚达" (composed of a rectangle image and the Chinese characters of “Yada”) under application No. 7748498 and No. 7748513. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and consumers of our brand. Although we believe that we have made progress towards establishing market recognition for our brands in the Chinese green and organic food products industry, it is too early in the product life cycle of the brand to determine whether our products and brand will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. 

Any inability to continue developing new products to satisfy our consumers' changing preferences would have a material adverse effect on our sales volumes.

Consumer preferences for food products change over time. As result we are constantly developing new and innovative products to meet changing customer requirements. Our failure to adapt our product offering to respond to such changes may result in reduced demand and lower prices for our products, resulting in a material adverse effect on our sales volumes, sales and profits.

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

-13-


We sell products through our own sales force as well as distributors. Our distributor network in China covers 10 provinces (cities) including Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Henan, Guangdong. In some instances we have written agreements with our distributors but they are generally renewable at the beginning of every year. In addition, the written agreements with our significant distributors do not guarantee as to the level of performance under those agreements, and generally those agreements may be terminated by the respective distributor upon notice of specified period.

To the extent that our distributors are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include: (i) the level of demand for our brand and products in a particular market; (ii) our ability to maintain current distribution relationships or establish and maintain successful relationships with distributors in new geographic areas. Our inability to achieve any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our third party distributors in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain and expand our market, which will likely adversely effect our revenues and financial results.

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

We plan to increase our business through:

  • Development of new products such as our high PH bamboo shoot;

  • Expansion of direct sales efforts;

  • Expansion of our cold storage facilities; and

  • Launching of our exclusive, Yada-branded distribution locations in major cities.

We have experienced substantial growth over the past few years. As our business grows, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting functions, and improvements to our record keeping system. We will also need to recruit more personnel and train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, we will need to maintain and expand our relationships with our current and future customers, suppliers, distributors and other third parties, and there is no guarantee that we will succeed.

If we are unable to effectively implement these additional controls and procedures, or are otherwise unable to establish or successfully operate additional production capacity or to increase production output, we may be unable to grow our business and revenues, reduce our operating costs, maintain our competitiveness or improve our profitability. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Because we experience seasonal fluctuations in our sales, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate.

Our business is highly seasonal. We are attempting to mitigate the effect of seasonality by managing our portfolio of products and extending our sales season through additional cold storage facilities and new technologies like our high PH bamboo shoots. However we still generate most of our sales from bamboo shoots. Harvest season for bamboo shoots is from December to April. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our revenues are earned during our first and fourth fiscal quarters. We generally experience our lowest revenues during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales in the first and fourth fiscal quarters accounted for approximately 61% and 70% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and ended 2009, respectively. If sales in these quarters are lower than expected, it would have a disproportionately large adverse impact on our annual operating results. Moreover, our sales or results of operations for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results anticipated in future quarters.

-14-


Our past results may not be indicative of our future performance evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.

Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Moreover, our ability to achieve satisfactory production results at higher volumes is unproven. Therefore, you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

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

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Mr. Zhan Youdai, Mr. Zhang He and Mr. Tsang Yin Chiu Stanley. If we lose any of these key employees and are unable to find a qualified replacement in a timely manner, our business will be negatively impacted. In addition, if a key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete the institutional knowledge within our Company.

We do not currently have any independent directors and may be unable to appoint any qualified independent directors.

We currently do not have any independent directors. We plan to appoint a number of independent directors which will constitute a majority of our board of directors in accordance with the corporate governance standards for the Nasdaq stock market. However, we have not identified those directors at this time.

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

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brands and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We produce, market and sell our products under "幸福仁佳", "亚利达", "亚达飘香", "茶坪", "白熊" (“white bear” in Chinese), "小孩儿" (“little children” in Chinese), "维多嘉", "圣达" (“Shengda” in Chinese), "利好","早上好" (“good morning” in Chinese), "大眼晶", "亚达工夫" (“Yada Kung Fu” in Chinese), "武夷圣果", "亚达" (composed of a rectangle image and the Chinese characters of “Yada”) and "亚达" (composed of an image with two circles and the Chinese characters of “Yada”). We have obtained trademarks on most of these names, as set forth in “We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, and unless we are able to establish and maintain brand name recognition our sales may be negatively impacted” above. There are four trademark applications still pending, including "武夷圣果" under application No. 7904598, "圣达" (“Shengda” in Chinese) under application No. 7528819 and "亚达" (composed of a rectangle image and the Chinese characters of “Yada”) under application No. 7748498 and No. 7748513. We cannot provide any assurance that the pending trademarks will be issued or that the issuance of the trademarks will provide adequate protection for our brands. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets (including our flavor concentrate trade secrets) or similar proprietary rights.

In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required to defend against such claims. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, and profitably exploit our products.

-15-


Our existing contract relationships with certain universities and research institutions may lead to uncertainty with regard to our ownership of some potentially important intellectual property rights.

We augment the direct research and development efforts by our in-house research staff through relationships with several research institutes and universities, specifically Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Wuyi University, and Fuzhou University. However, our right to use the intellectual property resulting from such efforts is at times unclear, which could adversely impact us if such intellectual property becomes important to our business.

For example, according to the agreement with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the Company and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will jointly own the intellectual property rights of any research results developed under the project under this agreement. If we intend to commercialize the research results in mass production, we are required to enter into a separate intellectual property transfer or licensing arrangement. We believe that Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will transfer or license any intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms. However, we cannot assure you that Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will do so and if it does not, our access to valuable technology may be impeded or made more costly than we expected, which could adversely impact our business.

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

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company's internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. In addition, for companies that are "accelerated filers" or "large accelerated filers" the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company's financial statements must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company's internal controls. Under current law, we are required to issue a report of management on the company's internal controls over financial reporting beginning with this report. Because we currently qualify as a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include an attestation from our independent auditors.

Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting had material weaknesses as of December 31, 2010. The material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures resulted from material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) we have not completed the design and implementation of certain internal control policies and procedures necessary to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”); and (2) we did not maintain sufficient in-house personnel resources with the technical accounting knowledge, expertise and training in the selection, application and implementation of US GAAP, particularly with respect to complex or non-routine transactions. We have not remedied these material weaknesses at this time. These controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that we can provide timely and accurate financial reporting of our results of operations. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could prevent us from reporting our financial results on a timely and accurate basis or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. These effects could in turn result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.

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

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

-16-


We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption law.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to Chinese anti-corruption law, which strictly prohibits the payment of bribes to government officials. We have operations, agreements with third parties, and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants or distributors of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. We are in process of implementing an anticorruption program, which prohibits the offering or giving of anything of value to foreign officials, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The anticorruption program also requires that clauses mandating compliance with our policy be included in all contracts with foreign sales agents, sales consultants and distributors and that they certify their compliance with our policy annually. It further requires that all hospitality involving promotion of sales to foreign governments and government-owned or controlled entities be in accordance with specified guidelines. In the meantime, we believe to date we have complied in all material respects with the provisions of the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption law.

However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption law may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

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

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

  • A higher level of government involvement;

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

  • A rapid growth rate;

  • A higher level of control over foreign exchange; and

  • The allocation of resources

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

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

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

Our failure to comply with existing food safety regulations or to secure renewal of permits lead to an increase in our costs which we may be unable to pass on to our customers.

Operators within the PRC organic food processing industry are subject to compliance with PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations require all enterprises engaged in the production of organic food based products to obtain a hygiene license. They also set out hygiene standards with respect to food and food additives, packaging and containers, labeling on packaging as well as hygiene requirements for food production and sites, facilities and equipment used for the transportation and the sale of food. Failure to comply with PRC food hygiene and safety laws may result in fines, suspension of operations, loss of hygiene license and, in certain cases, criminal proceedings against an enterprise and its management.

We operate under various permits and licenses granted by relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC, including, inter alia, the Food Hygiene Licenses (《食品卫生许可证》) and National Industrial Products Manufacturing Licenses (《全国工业品生产许可证》). These permits and licenses are generally valid for fixed periods and are renewable upon expiration. Our business and operations are subject to periodic checks by the relevant authorities in the PRC to ensure that we comply with the terms and conditions of these various permits and licenses. As we are required to adhere to and maintain adequate health and hygiene standards imposed by the relevant authorities, our failure to do so may lead to the withdrawal, suspension and/or non-renewal of the permits and licenses necessary for our operations, or penalties imposed on us.

Although we believe we are in compliance with current PRC food hygiene and safety laws and regulations, in the event that such laws and regulations become more stringent or widen in scope, we may fail to comply with such laws, or if we comply, our production and distribution costs may increase, and we may be unable to pass these additional costs on to our customers. In such event, our business operations, financial performance and financial position may be adversely affected.

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

We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiaries in the PRC. Our operating subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

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

-18-


The regulatory framework in China is rapidly evolving and implementation is not always consistent between jurisdictions; if we are found to have failed to comply with applicable laws, we may incur additional expenditures or be subject to significant fines and penalties.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-19-


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

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

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

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

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

Currently, some of our test equipment is imported from Japan. In the event that the Japanese Yen appreciates against RMB, our costs for this equipment will increase. In addition, approximately 6% of our revenues came from sales to customers in Japan in the fiscal year 2010 . If the Japanese Yen depreciates against the RMB the cost of our products would effectively increase to Japanese customers. Any increase in price could result in decreased sales and profitability for that market, and our profitability and operating results would suffer.

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

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

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

-20-


Under the New Income Tax Law, enterprises established outside the PRC whose "de facto management bodies" are located in the PRC are considered "resident enterprises" and their global income will generally be subject to the uniform 25.0% enterprise income tax rate. On December 6, 2007, the PRC State Council promulgated the Implementation Regulations on the New Income Tax Law (the "Implementation Regulations"), which define "de facto management bodies" as bodies that have material and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In addition, a recent circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 provides that a foreign enterprise controlled by a PRC company or a PRC company group will be classified as a "resident enterprise" with its "de facto management bodies" located within the PRC if the following requirements are satisfied:

  (i)

the senior management and core management departments in charge of its daily operations function mainly in the PRC;

     
  (ii)

its financial and human resources decisions are subject to determination or approval by persons or bodies in the PRC;

     
  (iii)

its major assets, accounting books, company seals, and minutes and files of its board and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and

     
  (iv)

more than half of the enterprise's directors or senior management with voting rights reside in the PRC.

Because the EIT Law, its implementing rules and the recent circular are relatively new, no official interpretation or application of this new "resident enterprise" classification is available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that Asia Green Agriculture Corporation is a "resident enterprise" for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on accounts and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would qualify as "tax-exempt income," we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new "resident enterprise" classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of "resident enterprise" treatment for the 2011 tax year and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

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

If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency determines that CSRC or other approval is required in connection with the reverse acquisition of Sino Oriental , the reverse acquisition may be unwound, or we may become subject to penalties.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rule, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The M&A Rule, among other things, requires that an offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals that have acquired a PRC domestic company for the purpose of listing the PRC domestic company's equity interest on an overseas stock exchange must obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such offshore company's securities on an overseas stock exchange. In addition, when an offshore company acquires a PRC domestic company, the offshore company is generally required to pay the acquisition consideration within three months after the issuance of the foreign-invested company license unless certain ratification from the relevant PRC regulatory agency is obtained. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC, pursuant to the M&A Rule, published on its official web site procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by offshore companies seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings.

-21-


In the opinion of our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, the M&A Rule concerning the CSRC approval for acquisition of a PRC domestic company by an offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals should not apply to our reverse acquisition of Sino Oriental because none of Fujian Yada, Sino Oriental and Misaky is a "Special Purpose Vehicle" or an "offshore company controlled by PRC companies or individuals" at the moment of acquisition. However, an Option Agreement has been entered into between Cai Yangbo, the majority shareholder of Sino Oriental prior to the exchange, and Zhan Youdai dated August 20, 2010, pursuant to which Zhan Youdai has an option to purchase all the equity interest in the Company held by Cai Yangbo at any time during the period commencing on the 180th day following the signing date of the Option Agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the signing date of the Option Agreement, at an aggregate exercise price of US$84,981,327. Due to the substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the M&A Rules by PRC governmental authorities, should a PRC governmental authority challenge the purpose or effect of the Option Agreement or Misaky’s prior acquisition of Fujian Yada, such governmental authority could regard the transactions contemplated by the option agreement or otherwise as affiliated acquisition and return investment for which approval of the PRC Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, would be required. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain the approval required from MOFCOM and if the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the reverse acquisition of Sino Oriental or the acquisition of Fujian Yada by Misaky constitutes a round-trip investment without MOFCOM approval, they could invalidate our acquisition and ownership of Sino Oriental or the prior acquisition of Fujian Yada by Misaky.

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

The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the PRC Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction and in some situations, require approval of the PRC Ministry of Commerce when a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we do not have any plans to do so at this time. The M&A Rule also requires PRC Ministry of Commerce anti-trust review of any change-of-control transactions involving certain types of foreign acquirers. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the PRC Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the Foreign Exchange Registration for Overseas Investment and Return Investment by PRC resident.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV , for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (i) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire "control" over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (ii) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident's funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (iii) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (iv) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (v) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings.

Mr. Zhan Youdai may have obtained the citizenship of the Philippines when he exercises his option rights and thus gains control our company, However, under the Circular 75, a "domestic resident natural person" not only refers to a natural person who holds a resident identity card, a passport or other lawful identity certificate of the People's Republic of China, but also a natural person who has no legal identity inside China but habitually resides inside China due to reasons of economic interests. As a result, we are not sure whether Mr. Zhan Youdai will habitually reside inside China afterwards and whether he will comply with the requirements of Circular 75.

Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries' ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Any disruption in the supply of utilities or an outbreak of fire or other calamities at our production facilities may result in disruption in our production

The production processes at our production facilities are dependent on a continuous supply of utilities such as electricity and water. As all our production facilities are situated in the PRC, there is a possibility that the PRC authorities may, as a result of a shortage of power, ration the supply of utilities, such as electricity, and require our production facilities to shut down periodically. Any disruption to the supply of electricity and/or water or any outbreak of fire or similar calamities at our production facilities may result in the breakdown of our facilities, such as our cold storage facilities, which will in turn lead to deterioration or loss of our inventories. This could adversely affect our ability to fulfill our sales orders and consequently, our business operations, financial performance and financial position may be adversely affected.

There is inherent risk related to the farmer-collectively-owned land use rights held by the farmer households

We lease certain of our planting bases from rural village cooperatives. All of our current leases are in the nature of farmer-collectively-owned land, and are leased from the farmer-households via the local Villagers' Committees (for more information on the role of the Villagers' Committees and the legal regime governing farmlands in the PRC, please refer to the section "Regulation— PRC Land Law").

(a) Title Certificates

The procedures and practice for issuing title certificates for farmer-collectively-owned land are not well established. Despite the fact that PRC authorities have issued several legal directives and rules to regulate the process of issuing Collectively-owned Land Title Certificates (集体土地所有证) (for farmland) and Forest Title Certificates (林权证) (for forest land) to evidence the ownership of the farmers to the farmer-collectively-owned land, in practice, not many areas in the PRC have implemented such a system due to difficulties in identifying the proper owners for such farmer-collectively-owned lands, amongst other reasons (for more details regarding title certificates for farmer-collectively-owned land, please refer to the section "Regulation — PRC Land Law"). 

Because of these practical difficulties in the title registration system for farmer-collectively-owned land, none of the rural villages cooperatives that we lease the planting bases and bamboo forests from have the requisite title certificates evidencing the respective lessors' title. Without obtaining the title certificates, it is possible that the title to the land may be challenged. If it is determined that the rural village cooperative that we lease from does not have title to the land our leases may be invalidated. In some instances, we have sought to mitigate the title risk by obtaining written confirmation of our leases from local forestry, agricultural or state-owned land resources bureaus. However, there is no assurance that the title of these lessors, and consequently our leases, will not be challenged.

-23-


(b) Rural Land Contracted Operation Rights

Under the PRC laws, farmers of rural cooperatives or other individuals or organizations desiring to cultivate lands are required to enter into Contracted Farming Agreements (承包合同) with the Villagers' Committees or Rural Collective Economic Organizations (村集体经济组织) in order to legally obtain a Rural Land Contracted Operation Right (农村土地承包经营权). 

Thereafter, the farmers or other individuals or organizations should apply to the relevant Agriculture Bureau (农业局) or Forestry Bureau (林业局) which will then issue the Land Contracted Operation Right Certificates (土地承包经营权证) (for farmland) or the Forest Right Certificates (林权证) (for forest land) to certify that the applying party has obtained the Rural Land Contracted Operation Right Certificates (土地承包经营权证). For more information regarding Rural Land Contracted Operation Right Certificates (土地承包经营权证) for farmer-collectively-owned land, please refer to the section "Regulation— PRC Land Law".

Due to the lack of a well-developed central filing and registration system of administration and supervision in the PRC rural areas, not many Villagers' Committees (村委会) or Rural Collective Economic Organizations (村集体经济组织) in practice would formally sign Contracted Farming Agreements (承包合同) when granting Rural Land Contracted Operation Right (土地承包经营权). We have not obtained the Rural Land Contracted Operation Right Certificate ( 土地承包经营权证 ) for any of our twenty-four vegetables and fruits planting bases or the Forest Title Certificate ( 林权证 ) for any of our six bamboo forest lease agreements. We are not aware of any Land Contacted Operation Right Certificate (土地承包经营权证) or Forest Right Certificates (林权证) issued by the relevant authorities in Songxi County, to evidence the rights of contracted operations for the farmland or forest land. Although we have sought to mitigate such risk by obtaining confirmation letters from the relevant Villagers’ Committees (村委会) for all the planning bases and bamboo forest leased by our Group confirming that the farmland contract agreements or forest land contract agreements concerned are in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, and by filling the lease agreements for record with the Agriculture Bureau or Forestry Bureau in Songxi, there is no assurance that such confirmations would not be revoked or otherwise rendered defective in any respect (for further details in relation to the confirmation letters obtained, please refer to the section "Regulation—PRC Land Law").  

(c) Uncertainty of Authorization and Uncertainty of Waivers of Pre-emptive Rights

The rural village cooperatives that lease land to us are supposed to obtain waiver of pre-emptive right from all other farmer-households in the same village or Rural Collective Economic Organizations which did not sign to approve our lease agreements. However, in practice, the cooperatives or the lessors that we deal with do not obtain and keep record of such waiver letters. Without such farmer-households' consent to waive their pre-emptive rights, the validity of the relevant leases may be challenged. We have not obtained such consents for any of the planting bases or bamboo forest we lease.

Although we have sought to mitigate the aforesaid risks by obtaining power of attorney and villager representatives' meeting resolutions from representatives of the farmer-households, there is no assurance that the waiver from representatives of these farmer-households actually exist or would not be rendered defective in any respect. to our knowledge, no proceedings and/or claims have been raised against us relating to the validity of our leases. However, we cannot provide any assurance that such proceedings or claims may not arise in the future. In the event of such proceedings and/or claims are brought against us, our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.

-24-


We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the PRC

We are subject to various PRC environmental laws and regulations in the areas where we operate, including laws regulating the emission and discharge of waste materials into soil, air or water. We are also required to obtain and comply with environmental permits for certain operations. In addition, we are responsible for cleaning up in the event that our operations result in the contamination of the environment at our manufacturing facilities. If we violate or fail to comply with the requirements, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. If more stringent compliance or clean-up standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or the results of future testing and analysis at our operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for the release of hazardous substances, we may be subject to additional remediation liability.

We have obtained Pollutants Discharge Permit (《排污许可证》) for Fujian Yada, and are currently in the process of applying for the Pollutants Discharge Permit (《排污许可证》) for Yaxin. According to applicable PRC laws, the penalty for not obtaining the Pollutants Discharge Permit (《排污许可证》) is a maximum fine of up to RMB0.2 million. We do not know at this time whether we will incur any fines or penalties as a result of our failure to have such a permit. 

Additional environmental matters may also arise in the future at sites where no problem is currently known. In the event of any non-compliance with environmental standards established by applicable laws and regulations or imposed by our customers, our business operations, financial performance, financial position and prospects may be adversely affected.

We may face claims and/or administrative penalties for non-execution of labour contracts or non-payment and/or under-payment of social insurance and housing fund obligations in respect of our temporary workers and our full-time employees

(a) Temporary Workers

We hire temporary workers to work in our processing factories on a temporary basis. We also, from time to time, hire farmers to work in our planting bases to handle due to the increased workload during harvesting seasons (collectively referred to as "Temporary Workers"). Prior PRC law was unclear with respect to our obligations to enter into labour contracts with, or pay any social insurance or housing funds for, our Temporary Workers, and historically we did not enter into such contracts or pay social insurance for our Temporary Workers. With the implementation of PRC Labour Contract Laws (中华人民共和国劳动合同法 , "PRC Labour Contract Law") which came into effect from January 1, 2008 and the Implementation Regulations for the Labour Contract Laws (中华人民共和国劳动合同法实施条例) which came into effect September 18, 2008, the PRC government has been adopting increasingly stringent supervision standards over the labour market in the PRC, in particular the farmer workers. In view of the new legal environment, beginning February 1, 2006, we appointed a licensed employment service agent, Nanping Labour Dispatch Services Co., Ltd., Songxi Branch (南平市劳务派遣服务有限公司松溪分公司) to hire our Temporary Workers and dispatch such workers to our operating subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, the Temporary Workers are employees of the dispatch agent, and the agent undertakes the legal obligation to enter into labor contracts and to pay the social insurance and/or housing fund for the workers. The agent also confirms to us that it has undertaken all legal obligations as required by, and complied with all compulsory requirements of, applicable PRC labour laws and regulations. Despite the labor arrangement, according to the PRC Labour Contract Law, in the event that the agent violates applicable PRC labor law, resulting in damages to the employees, we may be held liable to compensate the Temporary Worker for such losses. Although we would be entitled to compensation by the agent for such losses, there is no assurance that the compensation we recovered, if any, would be sufficient to cover the losses incurred. We have obtained certain letters issued by the competent labor authorities and housing fund authorities confirming that we have not been penalized by the labor authorities or housing fund authorities.  

In addition, we may be subject to a late charge of 0.2% of the outstanding social insurance contribution per day, a fine ranging from RMB10,000 to RMB50,000 for not attending to housing fund registration, and face proceedings or claims brought by the Temporary Workers, for non-execution of labor contracts and/or non-payment of social insurance or housing fund in respect of the Temporary Workers we hired before September 2008. Due to the nature of our business, these Temporary Workers were employed during our peak harvesting seasons and they were paid on an hourly basis. However, as the turnover of our Temporary Workers was high, with some Temporary Workers working for durations as short as a week, we faced practical difficulty in maintaining a register to estimate and make payment for the amount of outstanding social insurance liability for such Temporary Workers. As a result, we are not able to quantify with certainty our potential liability (if any). To date, we have neither received any verbal or written rectification notice from the labor authority or housing authority nor received any complaints or claims from any of our Temporary Workers regarding these matters. However, we are unable to give any assurance that such administrative penalties will not be imposed on us or such claims will not arise in the future. In the event any claims are brought by the Temporary Workers, we may be required to pay the administrative penalties and compensation and our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.

-25-


(b) Full-time Employees

Our PRC operating subsidiaries have not paid, or have not been able to pay, certain past social insurance for their full-time employees due to differences in local regulations, inconsistent implementation or interpretation by local authorities in the PRC, insufficient understanding of our legal obligations, and different levels of acceptance of the social insurance by the full-time employees. Our PRC operating subsidiaries have begun paying the social insurance contributions for certain of their full-time employees based on their actual received salaries, but they have not been able to rectify the prior under-payment and non-payment. We have attempted to rectify the under-payment and non-payment. However, the relevant local authorities in the PRC have stated that it is not possible to process rectification payments. We have sought to mitigate the risk of additional assessments by obtaining certain written confirmations from the applicable labor authorities and housing fund authorities confirming that no penalty has been imposed on us. We have not received any verbal or written rectification notice from labour authority or housing fund authority, nor received any complaints or claims from any of our full-time employees relating to the under-payment or non-payment. However, our PRC subsidiaries may still be assessed the social insurance and be subject to a late charge at 0.2% per day of the outstanding social insurance contribution, a fine ranging from RMB10,000 to RMB50,000 for not attending to housing fund registration, and face proceedings or claims for the under-payment or non-payment of social insurance and housing fund.

Our reasonable estimation of the potential liability for non-compliance with the PRC Labour Contract Law and its implementing rules as of March 31, 2011 is approximately $1,499,000, which includes the potential liability for non-compliance of the obligations of the social insurance and housing fund for our full-time employees and temporary workers, and reflects our current good faith estimate of the most likely aggregate costs of rectifying our potential non-compliance regarding the Law's obligations. However, our actual liability could be significantly higher.

Risks Related to The Market For Our Stock Generally

There has been only limited trading activity for our Common Stock.

While our common stock is qualified for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, there has been limited trading activity through the date of this prospectus. We cannot provide any assurances as to when our common stock will begin trading or that an active market will develop for our common stock.

Our common stock is subject to penny stock rules.

Our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with net worth's in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouses)). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock.

Additionally, our common stock is subject to the SEC regulations for "penny stock." Penny stock includes any equity security that is not listed on a national exchange and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule set forth by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for the common stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.

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

Mr. Cai Yangbo owns approximately 61% of our outstanding voting securities, giving him controlling interest in the Company. However, Mr. Cai is not an executive officer or director of the Company and is not a participant in any way in the day to day affairs of the Company. Mr. Cai may have little or no knowledge of the details of the Company's operations and does not participate in the corporate governance of the Company. In addition, this concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares.

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

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

We are a green and organic food producer headquartered in Fujian Province, China. We grow, process and distribute over 100 varieties of fresh and processed agricultural products. Our product offerings can be generally categorized into the following three main categories:

  • Bamboo shoot products

  • Fresh vegetable and fruit

  • Processed vegetable

We are one of the leading producers of organic bamboo shoot products in China and are a provider of fresh fruits and vegetables and processed fruits and vegetables. We are vertically integrated with operations that include the planting, harvesting, processing, packaging and selling of final products. Through our vertically integrated model, we offer direct and strict control over our fresh agricultural products, which we believe allows us to generate high margins and provide stronger guarantees for product quality relative to providers that are not vertically integrated.

Our Industry

The Bamboo shoot industry

Bamboo is a group of perennial evergreen plants and is one of the fastest growing woody plants in the world. Bamboo shoots are new bamboo culms that come out of the ground. They are edible and widely used in a number of Asian dishes and broths. Bamboo shoots are low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium; yet they are a good source of protein, vitamin E, niacin, iron, and dietary fiber. Bamboo shoots have similar nutritional elements as asparagus and are widely recognized as a healthy, green, organic food source. (Source: www.wikipedia.com and www.nutritiondata.com)

China has over 10 million total acres (40,468 square kilometers) of bamboo forest, placing it first in the world (Source: China Bamboo Shoot Association). China is also the largest producer of bamboo shoot products with over 90% of global market share (Source: China Bamboo Shoot Association). The overall Chinese bamboo shoot industry is highly fragmented; there are currently over 2,000 bamboo shoot companies in China.

Organic food products industry

The global organic food market has experienced over 30% growth in the past few years. China is one of the world's fastest growing markets for organic food products both in terms of consumer demand and commercial production. Sales of organic food products reached $900 million in China in 2007, and accounted for only 1.5% of the global market share.( Source: www.ofcc.org.cn). The Organic Food Certificate Center estimates that China will account for more than 5% of the global organic food industry within the next ten years. (Source: www.ofcc.org.cn)

China's approach to organic food is somewhat unique as compared to other countries, in that the organic food space is segmented into Certified Organic and Green Food. "Green Food" refers to safe, fine quality and nutritious food produced and processed under the principles of sustainable development and certified by China Green Food Development Center based on special standards and permitted to be sold with a green food logo. The certified green food can be divided into two groups: Grade A (allowing the use of a certain amount of chemical materials) and Grade AA (another name for organic food). (Source: "Enhancing Sustainable Development Through Developing Green Food: China's Option" presented by Liu Lijuan, First Secretary, Mission of China to the United Nations in Geneva, July, 30 2003.) Organic food production requires that no chemical be used in the process. The objectives of Green Food are low environmental impact, good food safety and social efficiency. China has adopted the Green Food certifications as an alternative to full Organic certification, enabling the production of nutritious and safe foods, without the typical drop in agricultural production output that full Organic certification could cause. (Source: Wikipedia: Organic Food; Organic Food Certification) According to our communication with China Green Food Development Center, the average length of time required to obtain a Green Food certification is about one year. Fujian Yada sells products that are certified as Green Food , as well as products that are certified as Organic Food under the JAS (Japanese Agriculture Standard). Fujian Yada has also obtained Organic Food certifications for its bamboo shoots products from China Organic Food Certification Center.

China has a strong and growing organic and green food industry. The rising popularity of organic and green foods is driven by a number of factors. First and foremost is the increasing concern of China's rising middle class with food safety. The concerns on food safety relate to both the short term purity and nutrition of the food, as well as to longer term concerns on the potential health impact of chemicals that are used in the production of the food. There is also increasing concern with the impact of agricultural production on the environment and the residual effects of agricultural chemicals on the ecosystem.

Our Operations

Our vertically integrated operations provide us with unique control over our planting bases. As a result we can ensure our products have very high quality, meet applicable certification guidelines and are delivered to customers in a timely fashion. The Company produces fresh agricultural products on its planting bases with two main purposes. The first purpose is food directly sold for consumer consumption. The second purpose is raw material sold or used for the future processing. In 2009, we supplied all fresh agricultural products directly sold for consumer consumption and a majority of the raw fresh agricultural products sold and used for further processing from our own planting bases. Fresh agricultural products are harvested, sorted, packaged and delivered directly to distributors and end-users. The remaining fresh agricultural products are delivered to production facilities for processing. The table below summarizes our planting bases as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.

  2009 2010
Bamboo forest 17,300 acres (70.01 square kilometers) 30,500 acres (123.43 square kilometers)
Vegetables & Fruits (including mushrooms) 10,400 acres (42.09 square kilometers) Full capacity 12,500 acres (50.59 square kilometers)

We strategically manage our planting bases to optimize operating efficiencies, to offer a broader product offering, and to support our year-round sales and processing. The following chart illustrates the planting cycle for most of our fresh produce on a 12-month basis.

Bamboo forest

As of March 31, 2011 , we had the right to use approximately 30,500 acres (123.43 square kilometers) of bamboo forest. We purchase land use right of bamboo forest, or enter into lease agreements with the local rural village cooperatives and pay rent for the use of the land. Generally, the terms of our leases are for a period of 20 to 30 years. We are currently in the first to sixth year of each of our lease terms.

-29-


We utilize our experience in bamboo growing to improve bamboo shoot yields by timely weeding and strategic clearing of older bamboo, thus ensuring adequate light and resources to maintain optimal capacity. Bamboo shoots are harvested from December to April. During the harvest season, we hire additional temporary workers. Currently, we use no fertilizers or pesticides in growing our bamboo shoots.

We plan to expand our bamboo forest to an aggregate of 43,700 acres (176.85 square kilometers) by the end of 2011. We expect to be able to harvest bamboo shoots produced by the new forest in December 2011. We do not expect our bamboo forest expansion to be a significant contributor to our 2011 revenue. However, we do expect the expansion to positively impact 2012 revenues.

Vegetable and fruit planting base

As of March 31, 2011 , we had the right to use approximately 12,500 acres (50.59 square kilometers) of vegetable and fruit planting bases through long-term lease contracts. Our leases are held under 20-year terms. We are currently in the first to sixth year of each of our lease terms for our vegetable and fruit planting bases.

We adopt an integrated approach in managing vegetable and fruit planting processes. Before planting, we receive sales indications from our customers on required amounts and specifications. After analyzing the indications, we formulate a planting schedule by taking into account order sizes, market dynamics, and land requirements. The lead time for agricultural production varies depending on the type of vegetable or fruit, and on average, takes three to four months. This customer-driven process is intended to improve production efficiency and eliminate over/under production of products.

Farmers conduct the entire planting process according to our standardized planting procedures using designated seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides. For each batch of products, we execute field tests for pesticide residuals and product quality 10 days before harvesting.

Our Products

We currently provide over 100 kinds of fresh and processed products that can be grouped into the following three categories: organic bamboo shoot products, fresh vegetables and fruits and processed vegetables.

Organic bamboo shoot products

We sell fresh bamboo shoots and processed bamboo shoot products. We have developed strong brand equity for bamboo shoot products in China. In 2010, our bamboo shoot revenue accounted for approximately 52% of our total revenue. In a letter dated March 12, 2010 from the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association to the Trademark Office of State Administration of Industry and Commerce of China, the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association recommended the "Yada" trademark of Fujian Yada as a “Famous Trademark of China”, and stated in the letter that “Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd. is one of the largest producers of boiled bamboo shoots products and dried vegetables in China”. Based on the information in this letter, we believe we are one of the largest producers of bamboo shoot food products in China.

Our bamboo shoot products are all organic, and are either certified as complying with or, to the best of our knowledge and based on our familiarity with the requirements of the certification, satisfy all the requirements necessary for certification as complying with the Japanese Agricultural Standard, or JAS, (the highest agricultural quality standard used by the Overseas Merchandise Inspection Company). However, we do not seek JAS certification for all our products that we believe satisfy the requirements for such certification since we only export some of our products to Japan. The JAS program is based on the ongoing evaluation of internal procedures and the management competence of respective certified operators. Operators under certification need to verify that procedures are in place to meet specific Standards requirements. An operator must have standard operational procedures in written form regarding all JAS relevant details of production, quality and labeling, and must prove the existence of a documented internal verification that each specific lot of products was produced in compliance with the JAS standards and the operator’s standard operational procedures. To apply for the JAS certification, an operator must submit its application to an accredited certifier of JAS certification.

Fresh bamboo shoots are harvested from December to April. According to Chinese custom, bamboo shoots which are harvested before March are "winter bamboo shoots," and those harvested starting from March are "spring bamboo shoots." Winter bamboo shoots are lower in output and higher in price compared with spring bamboo shoots. We sell most of our winter bamboo shoots and a portion of our spring bamboo shoots as fresh products, and use the rest of spring bamboo shoots as raw material to produce processed bamboo shoot products in accordance with specific customer requests.

Fresh bamboo shoots are delivered directly to customers after sorting, weighing and packaging. Processed bamboo shoots are boiled in water immediately after harvesting, and are then preserved in 18 liter metal cans. Processed bamboo shoots can be stored for up to three years before being turned into final product. We can process water boiled bamboo shoots into various forms, such as block, slice, strip or crumb, based upon customer requirements. All final products are packaged in vacuumed plastic bags.

We recently launched a new processed bamboo shoot product called the high PH bamboo shoot. It is produced from fresh spring bamboo shoots using our own proprietary process. We have applied for patent protection on the processing procedures and formulation for high PH bamboo shoots, and the application is pending. High PH bamboo shoots keep a fresh appearance, taste and flavor over time by maintaining a similar PH value level to that of fresh bamboo shoots. These attributes significantly differentiate this product from traditional processed bamboo shoots. We believe we are the sole supplier of this product in the world. By having high PH bamboo shoots, our customers are able to enjoy fresh tasting bamboo shoots during the off-season which we estimate to be during the months of May to December. Because high PH bamboo shoots are produced from low cost spring bamboo shoots and can be sold at premium off-season prices, the product is generating higher gross profit margin than fresh bamboo shoots and traditional processed bamboo shoots. While it is still early, we have experienced strong demand for high PH bamboo shoots since launching in April 2010, and believe this product has great market potential.

In December 2010, we launched a seasoned bamboo shoot product that is ready-to-eat and like a snack. To date, revenue from this product has not been material.

Bamboo wood

In order to maintain an optimal density of bamboo forests for production of bamboo shoots, we cut and harvest a proportion of older bamboo and sell it for wood products. In 2010, approximately 13% of our total revenue was derived from selling mature bamboo for use in wood products.

Fresh vegetables and fruits

Fresh fruits and vegetables accounted for approximately 28% of our total revenue in 2010. We grow and sell different varieties of vegetables and fruits, including mushrooms, corn, taro, radishes, cucumbers, ginger, and grapefruits. We harvest fresh vegetables and fruits, sort, weigh, pack and deliver these fresh vegetables and fruits to customers. Different species have different harvest seasons. Currently, all of our fresh vegetables and fruits are self-supplied from our planting bases and shipped to customers in season.

According to the certification procedures set by China Green Food Development Center, an applicant wishing to apply for Green Food certification for its products should submit the application to the provincial green food office, which will conduct a document review and an onsite inspection, designate a product inspection agency to conduct a product inspection, and, if necessary, designate a environmental monitoring station to collect and inspect samples of the relevant product. After receiving reports from the provincial green food office, the production inspect agency and the environmental monitoring station, the China Green Food Development Center will send the information it has collected to the Green Food Certification and Review Committee for its review. If the Committee decides that the product meets the Green Food standards, the Center will grant a Green Food Certification for the product to the applicant.

Our fresh vegetables and fruits are either certified, or in process of being certified, or, to the best of our knowledge based on our familiarity with the requirements of each certification, satisfy all requirements necessary for certification as Green Food by the China Green Food Development Center, the Chinese authority responsible for overseeing organic food production. According to our communication with China Green Food Development Center, the average length of time required to obtain a Green Food certification is about one year. However, we do not seek Green Food certification for all our products that we believe satisfy the requirements for the certification.

Organic off-season fresh vegetables will be pre-processed by washing, sorting, and packaging in plastic trays before being delivered to the market. We expect off-season vegetables to become an additional avenue of growth.

Processed vegetables

Our processed vegetables are typically harvested, boiled and then dehydrated or brined. Processed vegetables include water boiled fuki, water boiled corn, brined ginger, water boiled mushrooms, dehydrated mushrooms and water boiled warabi. We supply most of the raw materials for our processed vegetables from our own planting bases. We also purchase pre-processed vegetables which are either not available in Fujian Province or we are unable to produce in sufficient quantity. Processed vegetables contributed approximately 7% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2010.

Operations

We currently process our products through two entities, Fujian Yada and Fujian Yaxin. We operate state-of-art processing workshops in the full-closed mode and employ advanced processing and testing equipment, some of which is imported from Japan, and the rest of which is from China. Our production lines can be used to produce both processed bamboo shoots and other processed products, which might have slight difference in details but sharing the same basic processing procedure.

Processing

The production process of processed products generally involves three steps. In the case of bamboo shoot as an example the steps are as follows:

Step-1 Pre-processing

Pre-processing includes boiling, peeling and washing operations for fresh bamboo shoots. This process is labor intensive and done by our workers almost entirely by hand. We hire temporary workers to operate during peak harvesting season which is normally March and April every year. However, in case of labor shortages, we can outsource harvesting to third party contractors.

Step-2 Semi-product processing

Semi-product processing includes sorting, cutting, sterilization, canning and storage. After being cut into standardized size, all semi-products would be sterilized with high temperature. Then these are stored in sealed 18 liter cans and kept under normal temperature for later further processing.

Step-3 Final-product processing

We take semi-products as raw material and further transform them into different forms such as block, flake, slice, strip and crumb according to different customer requirements. Then we pack products with seal plastic package and perform quality control for each batch of product.

Storage

As of March 31, 2011 , we had 6,000 metric tons of cold storage, and 10,000 square meters of room temperature warehouse space. Cold storage is used to temporarily store fresh produce before preliminary processing or delivering to customers during warm weather, as well as to store semi-processed high PH bamboo shoots. Room temperature warehouses are used to store semi-processed products (except for semi-processed high PH bamboo shoots) and finished products.

-32-


To meet demand, we are adding 5,500 metric tons of cold storage by the end of 2011. We are on target to meet that goal. As of December 31, 2010, the construction plan of the new storage has been finalized and the construction work has commenced. The primary purposes of building the new cold storage facility are to:

  • Provide the necessary storage for fresh raw materials which are later used for processed products

  • Satisfy the storage needs for our high PH bamboo shoot production

  • Improve fresh produce delivery flexibility as market conditions change

Procurement

Our contracted planting bases are in China and operated by farmers on their own farmland. Products are planted according to our requirements and purchased by us at market prevailing prices. We also purchase raw materials from other suppliers including seeds, fertilizers, fresh agricultural products, semi-processed vegetables for further processing by us, and packaging materials.

We purchased some fresh and semi-processed bamboo shoots in 2010 in order to meet demand that exceeded our planting base or that did not grow in Fujian Province. Because the expansion of our bamboo forest in 2010 will not be a large contributor to our bamboo shoot capacity until 2011, we still needed to procure additional semi-processed bamboo shoots to meet growing demand in 2010. In addition, we will still need to purchase semi-processed species of bamboo shoots that do not grow in Fujian Province, such as semi-processed bitter bamboo shoots from Sichuan Province and semi-processed slender bamboo shoots from Zhejiang Province.

Besides bamboo shoots, we also purchase some fresh and semi-processed vegetables which do not grow in Fujian Province or which we do not adequately produce from our own planting bases. In the future, we expect to continue to procure fresh and semi-processed vegetables from third party suppliers when it makes strategic sense.

Quality Control & Certificate

Product quality is a core focus of ours. We have an established and traceable quality control system in place from planting to finished products.

We conduct quality control in the following procedures:

-33-


We have obtained the following certificates for our products and planting bases:

  • Japanese Agricultural Standard (the highest agricultural quality standard issued by Overseas Merchandise Inspection Company)

  • ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO 9001:2000 by China Quality Certification Center (中国质量认证中心)

  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points by China Quality Certification center (中国质量认证中心); and

  • Green Food by China Green Food Development Center (中国绿色食品发展中心)

  • Organic Food Certificate by China Organic Food Certification Center (中绿华夏有机食品认证中心).

  • Organic Certificate by The Institute for Marketecology (IMO)

ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems. ISO9001:2008 is the most current ISO standard and include requirements on quality management, resource management, product measurement, measurement, analysis and improvement. (source: Wikipedia)

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety and pharmaceutical safety that addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. It requires the operators to conduct a hazard analysis, identify critical control points, establish critical limits and monitoring for each critical control point, and establish corrective actions. (source: Wikipedia)

-34-


The Institute for Marketecology (IMO) is one of the first and most renowned international agencies for inspection, certification and quality assurance of eco-friendly products. Its world-wide activities are accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS) according to EN 45011 (ISO 65), which is the international standard for certification. IMO offers certification for organic production and handling according the EU Regulation (EC) N° 834/2007 and (EC) N° 889/2008. Also it has been accredited by USDA for organic certification according to the American National Organic Program (NOP). (source: http://www.imo.ch/)

The JAS certificates were granted to the Company's production process of organic bamboo shoot products as well as 437 acres of bamboo forests (divided into 15 testing sites). We selected only a portion of our bamboo forests for certification to reduce costs, and view this as a sample testing to demonstrate that our bamboo forests meet the JAS certification standard since we believe most of our bamboo forests are substantially identical in quality.

Fujian Yada has been awarded the certificate for its quality management system's compliance with the standard ISO9001: 2008 GB/T 19001-2008. The quality management system applies in the following area: production of boiled bamboo shoots soft pack can, boiled fuki soft pack can, boiled mixed vegetables soft pack can (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb and pteridium aquitinum ) , boiled edible fungi soft pack can, boiled corn soft pack can and 18-Liter boiled bamboo shoots can. Yaxin, another subsidiary of the Company, has been awarded the certificate for its quality management system's compliance with the standard ISO9001:2000 GB/T 19001-2000 for its production of boiled bamboo shoots soft pack can, boiled edible fungi soft pack can, boiled wild vegetables soft pack can, boiled fuki soft pack can, 18-Liter boiled bamboo shoots can and boiled fuki can.

Fujian Yada has been awarded the certificate of HACCP for the production of boiled bamboo shoots, boiled fuki, boiled mixed vegetables (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb, and pteridium aquitinum), boiled edible fungus, and boiled corn soft pack can. Yaxin has been awarded the HACCP certificate for the production of boiled bamboo shoots soft pack can, boiled edible fungi soft pack can, boiled wild vegetables soft pack can, boiled fuki soft pack can, 18-Liter boiled bamboo shoots can and 18-Liter boiled fuki can.

We have filed a patent application covering our high PH bamboo shoot product with the State Intellectual Property Office of PRC. That application is pending.

Research & Development

General

Our research and development efforts are intended to achieve the following objectives:

-35-


  • Achieve superior product safety and quality

  • Reduce production costs

  • Improve planting technology in order to increase crop yields

  • Develop new, high value-added products

In 2009 and 2010, we incurred only nominal research and development expenses. Some of our activities were carried out in-house by our own staff, which did not incur material expenses. Other activities were done in conjunction with professors and researchers from research institutes and universities with which we have relationships. Under those programs, we provide the professors and researchers with nominal compensation in addition to reimbursement of expenses.

We are constantly looking to improve our profitability through product portfolio management. We intend to launch a number of new high margin products every year. We augment our direct research and development efforts through relationships with several research institutes and universities, specifically Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Wuyi University, and Fuzhou University. Under our agreement with Wuyi University, the Company provides intern positions for students from the Tourism and Management Department of Wuyi University. In return, Wuyi University trains its students in the Tourism and Management Department in knowledge areas relevant to the Company such as corporate management and green food. Under the agreement with Fuzhou University, the Food Science and Technology Research Institute of the university helps the Company to develop polysaccharose bamboo shoot products, and the Company pays $22,300 as research funds to the Food Science and Technology Research Institute, and provides raw materials and testing sites for the research. The Food Science and Technology Research Institute of Fuzhou University has the right to apply for patents on patentable research results, and the Company can jointly file such applications with it. If the Company jointly applies for patent with the Food Science and Technology Research Institute of Fuzhou University, the parties will share all rights over the technologies covered by such patent. If the Company does not jointly apply for patents, the Food Science and Technology Research Institute of Fuzhou University owns the technologies covered by such patents, and the Company is entitled to a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such patents.

According to the agreement with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the university is responsible for developing “high-quality bamboo shoot product processing technologies”, and the Company is responsible for the expenditure of the research and commercialization of the research results. The Company and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will jointly own the property rights of any research results developed under this project. If the Company intends to commercialize the research results in mass production, a separate IP transfer or IP Licensing agreement shall be entered into between Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the Company. The Company believes that Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will transfer or license any IP in the research results to the Company on commercially reasonable terms. However, we can not assure you that Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University will do so and if it does not, our access to valuable technology may be impeded or made more costly than we expected, which could adversely impact our business.

We have formed a research and development team which consists of ten members, including both our management and professors from such institutes and universities. Current projects include experiments for the use of fuki in medicinal functions and the analysis of waste usage for bamboo shoot shells.

High PH bamboo shoot

A new product launched in April 2010 is our high PH bamboo shoot. We have applied for a patent on the manufacturing process to the State Intellectual Property Office of PRC. The processing procedure and formulation for high PH bamboo shoots are totally different than that of traditional processed products. Whereas traditionally processed bamboo shoots have a sour or acidic flavor, high PH bamboo shoots have the same appearance as fresh bamboo shoots, and very closely emulate the taste and crispness of fresh bamboo shoots.

We are able to purchase fresh bamboo shoots as raw materials for our high PH bamboo shoots in March and April, during the peak growing season, when supply is high and prices are at their lowest. After processing, we are able to sell the high PH bamboo shoots in the off-season when prices are higher. We experienced gross margins for this product of approximately 73% for the period from inception of sales through 2010, compared to 20% to 30% for typical fresh and processed bamboo shoot products. We are positioning our high PH bamboo shoot products for sale to premium markets such as supermarkets, high-end restaurants and hotels and experienced strong sales momentum in the first three months after introduction. The following table compares features of fresh bamboo shoots, processed bamboo shoots and high PH bamboo shoot products.

Shelf life 12 months 2~3 days 12 months
Taste Same as fresh products Delicious and crispy Sour
PH value 5.6~6.0 6.3~6.5 4.2~4.6
Sale period Year-round Dec to next April Year-round
Gross margin 73% 20~30% 20~25%

Sales and Distribution

Domestic market

In 2010, approximately 94% of our revenues were derived from sales of products into the domestic Chinese market. We sell products in China through more than 100 distributors and through our own sale force. Our domestic sales network covers 10 provinces and cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Henan, and Guangdong. All of our processed products are sold in China under the Fujian Yada brand.

We sell products through distributors and our own sales force to:

  • Farmer's markets

  • Local supermarkets in Fujian Province, including Carrefour, Wal-Mart, NDH-Mart, and Yonghui

  • Hotels, food courts and chain restaurants, such as Little Sheep

  • Specialty stores

  • Other supermarkets in Eastern China

  • Food manufacturers

  • The high speed train originating from the Fuzhou station

We currently have sales offices in Shanghai and Fuzhou. Our sales teams are responsible for pursuing direct sales to customers including new businesses in the Eastern China market. We sell direct to supermarkets such as Shanghai Yimaide, Kangda-mart, Hui Jin stores, and Hualian marts in Shanghai. We sell to other major supermarkets such as Carrefour, Jiadeli, RT-Mart, Tesco and Wal-mart through distributors. We now sell directly and indirectly to over 700 stores of such major supermarkets. Sales to major such supermarkets, directly or through distributors, accounted for about 15% of our total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010. We are also in discussions to establish sales to several major retailers, such as Lianhua Mart in Shanghai and Shandong province, Yingzuo Mall in Shandong province, Wu Mart in Beijing, Huarun Supermarket in Jiangsu province, and a few local retailers in Hubei province. Our ongoing negotiations with these retailers focus on the domestic market in China, and we do not expect such negotiations will result in expansion of our business beyond China and Japan in the near future.

In the future, we plan to expand our sales channels through three core initiatives:

  • We plan to increase the number of our direct sales to end users and also the number of our distributors.

  • We expect to continue to expand our customer base to include additional brand chain supermarkets, food courts, hotels and restaurants in the Eastern China region, especially in Shanghai.

-37-


  • We plan to open new distribution locations that are exclusive to the Yada brand. We have opened five distribution locations in China. For instance, the first distribution location in Shanghai was opened in June 2010, and is located in a high-end large scale residential community. These locations are dedicated to selling green and organic agricultural products under the Yada brand and focus on bulk orders to local hotels, restaurants and stores, with a small retail component for gift packages. We intend to employ a franchise model for a majority of the distribution locations, which will allow us to create a group of new customers, maintain quality and inventory control, while reducing our working capital requirements and ongoing responsibilities for operating costs of the locations.

Japan market

In 2010, sales from the Japanese market accounted for approximately 6% of our total revenue. We sell semi-finished and final processed products to Japan. We do not currently sell fresh agricultural goods to Japan. At present, we perform all export business through one subsidiary, Shengda. We sell products in Japan through more than 20 overseas distributors. Our Japanese customers primarily consist of convenience stores and food manufacturers. In addition, we are a raw material supplier to Yamazaki, a bread manufacturer in Japan.

All of the products we sell to Japan are sold under an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, arrangement, whereby we manufacture the products and they are labeled under a third party's brand name. However, the product package credits Fujian Yada as the raw material provider. We anticipate stable growth in the Japanese market for at least the near term.

Brand strategy

We seek to expand our customer base and enhance brand recognition by:

  • Continuing to penetrate well-known supermarkets to promote organic and green food products;

  • Attending various green food exhibitions and organizing nutrition training sessions for distributors to promote food containing crude fiber, such as bamboo shoot products and fuki, which is hard to digest, and green agricultural food; and

  • Launching our exclusive Yada-branded distribution locations in major cities.

Competition

At present, there are thousands of bamboo shoot producers in China. The market is competitive and highly fragmented. In a letter dated March 12, 2010 from the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association to the Trademark Office of State Administration of Industry and Commerce of China, the Chinese Bamboo Industry Association recommended the “Yada” trademark of Fujian Yada as a “Famous Trademark of China”, and stated in the letter that “Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd. is one of the largest producers of boiled bamboo shoots products and dried vegetables in China”. Based on the information in this letter, we believe we are one of the largest producers of bamboo shoot food products in China.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets include the following:

  • Price;

  • Product quality, safety, taste and freshness;

  • Ability to ensure stable and timely supply of products;

  • Ability to innovate;

  • Brand recognition; and

  • Depth and breadth of sales network.

-38-


We believe that we compete favorably with regard to most of these factors, particularly product quality, safety, taste and freshness; ability to innovate; brand recognition; breadth and depth of sales network; and ability to ensure stable and timely supply of products. However, some of our existing and potential competitors may have more resources than we do. These competitors may be able to devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their products which over time may undermine some or all of our competitive advantages. We estimate that, in the China bamboo industry, only one of our competitors, Asian Bamboo AG, a public company listed in Germany, likely has greater resources than we do, while in the China agricultural food products industry, although difficult to quantify, a significant minority of our competitors likely have greater resources than we do. Based on customers’ comments during communications with our sales personnel, we believe Chinese consumers generally recognize our products as having superior quality, taste and freshness. Based on communications with our customers and retailers, we believe that the prices of our products are roughly average, with some products in the market that are less expensive and others more expensive, but most approximately the same as our competitor's products. The Company also has received numerous certifications reflecting its product quality, safety and freshness, including ISO 9001 certification for its production of soft canned boiled bamboo shoots, soft canned boiled fuki, soft canned boiled mixed vegetables (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb and pteridium aquitinum), soft canned boiled edible fungi, soft canned boiled corn and 18-Litre canned boiled bamboo shoots; HACCP certification for its production of boiled bamboo shoots, boiled fuki, boiled mixed vegetables (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb and pteridium aquitinum), soft canned boiled edible fungus and soft canned boiled corn; and the Japanese Agricultural Standard certification for its production process with regard to processed organic bamboo shoots and some of its organic bamboo shoots products that are exported to Japan. The Company believes most of its competitors have not received similar certifications, but acknowledges that those of its competitors that have more resources than it does likely have obtained such quality certifications. Moreover, since the Company has its own planting bases and production facilities located near such planting bases, which in turn are close to the provinces and cities with major clusters of customer concentration such as Shanghai, the Company believes it has greater ability to ensure timely and stable supply of its products than many of its competitors that must rely on purchases from third parties for their raw materials and deal with complex logistics to get subsequently processed products to customers. Furthermore, the Company believes its ability to innovate is superior to that of many of its competitors, which it believes conduct little research and development. The Company believes its capacity to innovate is demonstrated by its relatively frequent new product launches, the rate of which it believes exceed the industry norm in China. For example, since 2005, the Company has introduced more than 30 products. The Company believes its superior brand recognition is demonstrated by its status as a “famous brand” in Fujian province. The Company believes its sales network is deeper and broader than that of most of its competitors; the Company sells to distributors in 10 provinces and cities, and sells product to major supermarkets in Fujian and Shanghai, which the Company believes most of its competitors do not. The Company believes it is particularly competitive with respect to its bamboo shoots as compared to other vegetables, primarily because it is one of the few large market players in China’s bamboo shoots production industry and the Wuyishan area in Fujian province, where its primary operations are located, is particularly well suited to growing bamboo shoots as compared to other provinces in China. The Company believes it has more large competitors engaged in the production of other vegetables and its location in Fujian province has no obvious competitive advantage with regard to such vegetables.

We attribute our success to date and potential for future growth to a combination of strengths, including the following:

  • The vertical integration of planting bases and production lines creates competitive advantages. We possess our own planting bases and processing facilities, which enables us to control all facets of production, from growing the raw materials to processing and selling finished products to consumers. In 2009, we grew and supplied a majority of our raw materials, including bamboo shoots, mushrooms, corn, taro, fuki, radishes, cucumbers, ginger, grapes and grapefruits. We believe our vertically integrated business model provides us with enhanced production efficiency, stable supply of products and better control over costs.

  • The strategic location of our production facilities provides us with competitive costs and adequate raw material supply. Our planting bases and processing facilities are strategically located near the borders of Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province and Zhejiang Province, as well as within close proximity to the city of Shanghai. This arrangement not only affords us access to those three provinces and the city of Shanghai, but also facilitates low logistics costs, which in turn enables us to deliver fresh agricultural products on-time. In addition, Fujian Province is widely recognized as the #1 growing area for bamboo globally. This provides us with access to a large potential planting base.

-39-


  • We operate a diversified and seasonally complementary product portfolio. We sell over 100 varieties of fresh and processed agricultural products, which allows us to meet the demands of a variety of customers and mitigate seasonality risks.
  • We provide high quality products through a traceable and systematic quality control system. We place significant emphasis on food safety and have a well established, traceable and strict quality control system for all stages of our business, including planting, raw material sourcing, processing, packaging, storage and transportation. We apply internal quality controls which we believe are stricter than the national standard. We have received numerous certifications for our planting, processes, and products, including ISO 9001 certification for our production of soft canned boiled bamboo shoots, soft canned boiled fuki, soft canned boiled mixed vegetables (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb and pteridium aquitinum), soft canned boiled edible fungi, soft canned boiled corn and 18-Liter canned boiled bamboo shoots; HACCP certification for our production of boiled bamboo shoots, boiled fuki, boiled mixed vegetables (including lotus root, osmunda japonica thunb and pteridium aquitinum), soft canned boiled edible fungus and soft canned boiled corn; and the Japanese Agricultural Standard The JAS certificates were granted to the Company's production process of organic bamboo shoot products as well as 437 acres of bamboo forests (divided into 15 testing sites). We selected only a portion of bamboo forest for certification to reduce costs, and view this as a sample testing to demonstrate that our bamboo forests meet the JAS certification standard since we believe most of our bamboo forests are substantially identical in quality.
  • Our strong R&D capability allows us to continuously develop new high value-added products. We launch new products every year and continue to improve our product portfolio with high margin and high value-added products. We plan to launch at least one or two significant high margin products each year. In 2010, we launched our high PH bamboo shoots. The product is generating strong sales in the first few months after introduction and is currently under patent application in the domestic China market.
  • We have a leading market position and significant brand equity. We believe we are the largest supplier of bamboo shoots in terms of sales volume and a leading supplier of fresh and processed vegetables and fruit in China. We sell our products under the Fujian Yada brand in China and private labels in the Japanese market. We believe we have achieved brand recognition in China, especially in Fujian Province, where our headquarters are located.
  • We have established multi-layered sales channels and an extensive sales network in Chinese and Japanese markets. We sell all fresh agricultural products and a portion of our processed products in China through an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network, covering 10 provinces and cities. This network was comprised of more than 100 distributors and about 40 direct sales employees of our sales offices in Shanghai and Fuzhou. We sell our products to farmers markets and supermarkets in Fujian and in Shanghai (including but not limited to Carrefour, Wal-Mart and Yonghui), and various food manufacturers, chain restaurants and retailers in China. We are also planning to open exclusive, Yada-branded distribution locations in Shanghai, and in Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

Growth strategy

As a vertically integrated green and organic agricultural product producer in China with strong brand recognition, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on future industry growth. We are focused on leveraging industry opportunities and our competitive strengths to become China's leading brand for green and organic food products through the following initiatives:

  • Expand our planting base. Out of a total of 30,500 acres of bamboo forests, our 17,300 acres of bamboo forest produced approximately 27,000 metric tons of bamboo shoots in 2010, while the remaining were newly added and did not commence production in 2010. Out of a total of 12,500 acres of vegetable and fruit planting bases, our 10,400 acres of vegetable and fruit planting bases collectively produced approximately 54,000 metric tons of vegetables and fruits in 2010, while the remaining were newly added and did not commence production in 2010. In order to satisfy increasing market demand, we plan to expand our bamboo forest by an additional 13,200 acres of bamboo forest by the end of 2011.

-40-


  • Improve our profitability by continuously introducing new high value added products. We constantly evaluate our products and adapt to changes in market conditions by updating our products to reflect new trends in consumer preferences. In 2010, we launched our high PH bamboo shoots and our seasoned bamboo which is ready to eat as a snack. Through our own research and development and cooperation with academic institutions, we plan to introduce at least 1 or 2 new products each year, which are higher value added than existing products and are able to improve our profitability.

  • Further expand our domestic sales and distribution network and enter new markets. We are focused on expanding our sales and distribution channels in the domestic China market, and maintaining existing customers in Japan. We currently sell through distributors and members of our own sales force to farmers' markets, supermarkets, food manufacturers, restaurants and retailers in China. To support our future growth, we intend to further expand our domestic sales and distribution channels in our covered geographic areas and explore new markets by increasing Fujian Yada's brand presence in additional supermarkets.

  • Increase our cold storage capacity. Currently, we have 6,000 metric ton cold storage facility for storing fresh and semi-finished products. We plan to build a new cold storage facility to increase the capacity by an additional 5,500 metric tons, in order to meet the requirements of our existing products and the anticipated need for recent new product launches. We are on target to meet that goal. As of March 31, 2011 , the construction plan has been finalized and the construction work has commenced.

  • Further enhance our brand recognition. We have been gaining brand recognition in China, especially in Fujian Province. We expect to further enhance our branding through branded counters in supermarkets. We also began opening exclusive Yada-branded distribution locations in select locations in China.

Regulation

The food industry, of which vegetable and fruit based products form a part, is subject to extensive regulation in China. The following summarizes the most significant PRC regulations governing our business in China.

Food Hygiene and Safety Laws and Regulations

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

  • The PRC Product Quality Law

  • The PRC Food Safety Law

  • The PRC Food Hygiene Law

  • The Implementation Rules on the Administration and Supervision of Quality and Safety in Food Producing and Processing Enterprises

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

  • The Provisional Rules on the Release of Food Advertisement

  • The Provisions on the Administration of Hygiene Registration of Export Food Producing Enterprises

  • The General Measure on Food Quality Safety Market Access Examination

  • The General Standards for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods

-41-


  • The Standardization Law

  • The Special Rules on Strengthening Safety and Supervision of Food and other Products

  • The Regulation on Hygiene Administration of Food Additive

  • The Regulation of Administration of Bar Code Merchandise

  • The PRC Metrology Law

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

We believe that we have complied to all material respects to the PRC Food Hygiene and Safety laws and regulations applicable to us or our business.

Environmental Regulations

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

  • The Environmental Protection Law of the PRC

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to various pollution control regulations with respect to water, air and noise pollution as well as the disposal of waste and hazardous materials. We are also subject to periodic inspections by local environmental protection authorities. Our operating subsidiary has received certifications from the relevant PRC government agencies in charge of environmental protection indicating that their business operations are in material compliance with the relevant PRC environmental laws and regulations. We are not currently subject to any pending actions alleging any violations of applicable PRC environmental laws.

PRC Foreign Investment Laws

Our operating subsidiaries are generally subject to PRC laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China, including those described below. Since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you.

•      Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (M&A Rule) Under the M&A Rule, it is difficult for a foreign company to acquire a PRC company. Our wholly foreign owned subsidiary Fujian Yada was acquired by Misaky. Fujian Yada and Misaky then became wholly owned subsidiaries of Sino Oriental, which in turn was acquired by Asia Green Agriculture Corporation. A PRC governmental authority may challenge the effect of some or all of these prior acquisitions. Such governmental authority could regard the transactions as affiliated acquisitions and return investment for which approval of MOFCOM and/or CSRC would be required. See “Risk Factors--If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency determines that CSRC or other approval is required in connection with the reverse acquisition of Sino Oriental, the reverse acquisition may be unwound, or we may become subject to penalties.”

-42-


•      PRC Foreign-funded Enterprises Law

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership as well as exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities through its regulations regarding land use rights, property and other matters. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including with respect to land use rights, property and other matters. For example, government actions in the future could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

•      Regulations of PRC on Foreign Exchange Administration

All our sales revenue and expenses are denominated in RMB. Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively although, currently, our PRC operating subsidiaries may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions without the approval of SAFE in accordance with certain procedural requirements assuming SAFE has approved their current levels of registered capital and total investment.

Since substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiaries, developments under PRC law that impact our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to make dividends and other distributions or repatriate profits could adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or complete acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you , and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

PRC Land Law

Under the PRC laws, land in urban districts shall be owned by the State, Land in the rural areas and suburban areas, except otherwise provided for by the State, shall be collectively owned by farmers including land for building houses land and hills allowed to be retained by farmers.

The procedures and practice for issuing title certificates for farmer-collectively-owned land are less clear. Notwithstanding that PRC authorities have issued several legal directives and rules to regulate the process of issuing Collectively-owned Land Title Certificates (集体土地所有证) (for farmland) and Forest Title Certificates (林权证) (for forest land) to evidence the ownership of the farmers to the farmer-collectively-owned land, in practice, not many areas in the PRC have implemented such a system due to difficulties in identifying the proper owners for such farmer-collectively-owned lands, amongst other reasons.

Under the PRC laws, farmers of a rural cooperative or other individuals or organizations desiring to cultivate lands are required to enter into Contracted Farming Agreements (承包合同) with the Villagers' Committees (村委会) or Rural Collective Economic Organizations (村集体经济组织) in order to legally obtain a Rural Land Contracted Operation Right (农村土地承包经营权) for use in crop farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries production under a term of 30 years. The contractees should sign a contract with the (correspondents contractor) which can be a Villagers' Committee (村委会) or a Rural Collective Economic Organization (村集体经济组织), to define each other's rights and obligations. Farmers who have contracted land for operation are obliged to use the land rationally according to the purposes agreed upon in the contracts. The right of operation of land contracted by contractors shall be protected by law. Within the validity term of a contract, the adjustment of land contracted by individual contractors should get the consent from over two-thirds majority vote of the villagers' congress of a Rural Collective Economic Organization (村集体经济组织) or over two-thirds of villagers' representatives of a Villagers' Committee (村委会) and then be submitted to land administrative departments of the township (town) people's government and county level people's government for approval.  

-43-



Due to the lack of a well-developed central filing and registration system of administration and supervision in the PRC rural areas, not many Villagers' Committees or Rural Collective Economic Organizations (村集体经济组织) in practice would formally sign Contracted Farming Agreements (承包合同) when granting Rural Land Contracted Operation Right (土地承包经营权) to farmer-households.

Preferential Policies for the Agriculture Industry

As part of the agricultural industry in China we enjoy certain preferential policies. Currently earnings from certain products that we produce and sell are exempt from China's value added tax and enterprise income tax. We have been exempt from the value added tax and enterprise income tax for the past four years. This exemption is reviewed on an annual basis and can be eliminated at any time. Elimination of this exemption would increase our tax expenses and impact our profitability.

Under a preferential policy related to agricultural product development, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agriculture Department of Fujian Province subsidizes a portion of the interest payments on our outstanding commercial loans. In addition, the provincial government in Fujian Province subsidizes certain utility costs, including water.

Our Employees

As of March 31, 2011, we employed total of 315 full-time employees in the following functions:

Department Number of
  Employees
Senior Management 5
Human Resource & Administration 25
Production & Procurement 195
Sales & Marketing 62
Accounting 28
           Total 315

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

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

Seasonality

As is typical in the food and food processing industry, we experience seasonality in our business. Our bamboo shoots business operates primarily in the first and fourth fiscal quarters every year. Our fresh fruit and vegetable business varies according to the seasonality of each type of vegetable and fruit. Our fruit and vegetable processing lines are mainly carried out year-round because our primary source fruits are harvested during different periods and must be processed right away.

In fiscal 2010, sales during the first and fourth fiscal quarters accounted for an aggregate of approximately 61% of our total sales. We are looking to expand our products into additional categories of vegetables that, in part, will extend the season and provide increase revenues during our current "off peak" seasons.

-44-


Properties

There is no private land ownership in China. Individuals and entities are permitted to acquire land use rights for specific purposes. We were granted land use rights for our headquarters in Nanping City which extend until 2053 to 2055.

We secure access to our planting base through land use agreements that we enter into with the local provincial government or rural village cooperatives. In turn, under the Rural Contracting Law of 2002, the cooperatives grant us the right to enter on the land, and plant and harvest, pursuant to the terms of a rural land use contract. We have entered into twenty-four planting base lease agreements and six bamboo forest lease agreements with local rural villagers’ committees as of March 31, 2011 . The total relevant rental cost of the planting bases is approximately $1,206,000 per annum, and that of the bamboo forest is approximately $2,051,000 per annum. Generally, we pay the annual rental costs to the village cooperatives at the end of every year. According to the Entrusting Collecting Agreements entered into with individuals who supervise the planting bases and bamboo forests, the rentals are paid to the rural cooperatives and collected by entrusted individuals on behalf of the Company. These rural land use contracts generally grant us the right to harvest bamboo forest for a term of 20 to 30 years, and to farm the land for vegetable and fruits for a term of 5 to 20 years. We are in the first to sixth year of the 20-year lease term of each vegetables and fruits planting base lease agreement and in the first to sixth year of the lease term of each bamboo forest lease agreements.

Insurance

We have property insurance for all of our facilities. We believe our insurance coverage is customary and standard for companies of comparable size in comparable industries in China. We do not have any business liability, interruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, we are subject to business and product liability exposure.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, including claims of alleged infringement, misuse or misappropriation of intellectual property rights of third parties. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any such litigation which we believe would have a material adverse effect on us.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY

Our Corporate Structure

We are a Nevada holding company and conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiary Fujian Yada in China. We own all of the equity in Fujian Yada through Sino Oriental and Sino Oriental’s wholly owned subsidiary Misaky. Both Sino Oriental and Misaky are intermediate holding companies and have no other significant assets and operations of its own. Fujian Yada is incorporated in China in 2001. Subsequently, in a series of transactions in 2010, Misaky acquired 100% ownership of Fujian Yada.

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

-45-


Our Corporate History

We were originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2008 to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below.

On January 17, 2007 Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively "SMS Companies"), filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On August 1, 2007, the bankruptcy court confirmed the First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan (the "Plan"), as presented by SMS Companies and their creditors. The effective date of the Plan was August 10, 2007.

Halter Financial Group, Inc., participated with SMS Companies and their creditors in structuring the Plan. As part of the Plan, Halter Financial Group, Inc. provided $115,000 to be used to pay professional fees associated with the Plan confirmation process. Halter Financial Group, Inc. was granted an option to be repaid through the issuance of equity securities in 23 of the SMS Companies, including Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc.

Halter Financial Group, Inc. exercised the option, and as provided in the Plan, 80% of our outstanding common stock, or 1,000,000 shares, was issued to Halter Financial Group, Inc. in satisfaction of Halter Financial Group, Inc.’s administrative claims. The remaining 20% of our outstanding common stock, or 250,010 shares, was issued to 449 holders of unsecured debt. The 1,250,010 shares, or Plan Shares, were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. As further consideration for the issuance of the 1,000,000 Plan Shares to Halter Financial Group, Inc., the Plan required Halter Financial Group, Inc. to assist us in identifying a potential merger or acquisition candidate, to provide for the payment of our ongoing operating expenses and to provide us, at no cost, with consulting services, including assisting us with formulating the structure of any proposed merger or acquisition. Additionally, Halter Financial Group, Inc. was responsible for paying our legal and accounting expenses related to this registration statement and our expenses incurred in consummating a merger or acquisition.

On November 4, 2009, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Yang Yongjie, a resident of China, pursuant to which Yang Yongjie acquired 11.25 million shares of our common stock for $4,500 or, $0.0004 per share. At that time, our business plan was to develop the Chinese restaurant concept currently undertaken by Legend Restaurant Management, a Samoa corporation in which Yang Yongjie owns an interest. In connection with the share purchase agreement Yang Yongjie was appointed to be our sole director and executive officer. After giving effect to this transaction, 12,500,010 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.

-46-


On April 13, 2010, Zhan Youdai and Liufeng Zhou, Zhan Youdai's spouse, entered into an agreement with Misaky, a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong, pursuant to which Misaky agreed to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Fujian Yada for cash consideration of RMB31,157,000. The transaction was completed on May 26, 2010. Beginning shortly after completion of Misaky’s acquisition of Fujian Yada and prior to our acquisition of Sino Oriental as described below, pursuant to a trust agreement, Cai Yangbo held 100% of the equity interest in Misaky on behalf of Zhan Youdai who was the sole beneficial owner with full power to direct the voting and disposition of such equity interest and the sole director of Misaky. Misaky is an investment holding company without any other business activities and only holds the 100% equity interest in Fujian Yada. The Company understands Mr. Zhan Youdai was advised that entering into the trust agreement after Misaky’s acquisition of Yada would allow him to obtain beneficial ownership of Misaky but reduce the risk that the governmental approval of the PRC Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, under the M&A Rule with respect to a PRC enterprise’s or person’s acquisition of an affiliated PRC company in the name of an overseas company owned or controlled by such PRC enterprise or person at the time of such acquisition, which the Company had not obtained, could be required under PRC law, as compared to a situation where he became a record holder of Misaky.

On July 2, 2010, Cai Yangbo, the holder of 100% of the shares of Misaky, which owned 100% of the equity interest of Fujian Yada, entered into an agreement with Sino Oriental, a limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to which Sino Oriental agreed to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Misaky for cash consideration of HK$3,001, equivalent to the issued and paid up share capital of Misaky. Upon the completion of the transaction on July 2, 2010, Fujian Yada and Misaky became wholly owned subsidiaries of Sino Oriental. Before and immediately after the completion of the transaction on July 2, 2010, pursuant to a trust agreement, Mr. Zhan had beneficial ownership of Fujian Yada, Misaky and Sino Oriental.

Before the acquisition by the Company completed on August 20, 2010 as described below, Cai Yangbo held approximately 76.91% of the equity interest in Sino Oriental on behalf of Zhan Youdai who was the sole beneficial owner with full power to direct the voting and disposition of such equity interest and the sole director of Sino Oriental. Sino Oriental is an investment holding company without any other business activities and only holds 100% equity interest in Misaky. The restaurant business did not develop as anticipated and on August 20, 2010, we entered into a share cancellation agreement with Yang Yongjie pursuant to which Yang Yongjie surrendered for cancellation 9,738,180 shares of our outstanding common stock that were previously issued to him pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated November 4, 2009. The consideration for the cancellation was inducement of the share exchange between Sino Oriental and the Company.

On August 20, 2010, we entered into an exchange agreement with Sino Oriental Agriculture Group Ltd. and the shareholders of Sino Oriental Agriculture Group Ltd, pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Sino Oriental Agriculture Group Ltd. transferred all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sino Oriental Agriculture Group Ltd. to us, and in exchange we issued to such shareholders 29,214,043 newly issued shares of our common stock. In connection with the exchange agreement Yang Yongjie agreed to resign as a director and as an officer. Zhan Youdai and Zhang He were appointed to be our directors and Zhan Youdai and Tsang Yin Chiu Stanley were appointed as our executive officers. Prior to the execution of the exchange agreement on August 20, 2010, Fujian Yada had reorganized its corporate structure and acquired Fujian Yaxin Food Co., Ltd., Fujian Shengda Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. and Fujian Xinda Food Co., Ltd., all companies registered under the laws of the PRC and previously jointly owned by Mr. Zhan and his spouse, Liufeng Zhou. Upon completion of this reorganization, Fujian Yaxin Food Co., Ltd., Fujian Shengda Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. and Fujian Xinda Food Co., Ltd. became the wholly owned subsidiaries of Fujian Yada.

Immediately prior to completion of the exchange pursuant to the exchange agreement, on August 20, 2010, the trust agreement was terminated and Cai Yangbo, the majority shareholder of Sino Oriental prior to the exchange, and Zhan Youdai entered into an Option Agreement, pursuant to which Zhan Youdai has an option to purchase all the equity interest in the Company held by Cai Yangbo at any time during the period commencing on the 180th day following the signing date of the Option Agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the signing date of the Option Agreement, at an aggregate exercise price of US$84,981,327. Mr. Cai Yangbo has informed the Company that no consideration was paid in connection with the termination of the trust agreement. Under its terms, the option was not exercisable for a period of six months, so for a period of four months Mr. Zhan did not beneficially own the shares of Asia Green Agriculture Corporation. However, because he became the Company's Chief Executive Officer and sole director shortly after the exchange, he did have control of the Company from and after the time he assumed such duties.

-47-


Also on August 20, 2010 we closed the transactions under a securities purchase agreement dated July 23, 2010 with certain institutional investors, including CID Greater China Venture Capital Fund III LP, Value Partners Hedge Master Fund Limited, Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd., the USX China Fund, Damaco Venture Capital Fund, RL Capital Partners, L.P., and Halter Global Opportunity Fund LP., pursuant to which we sold 1,939,407 units for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.3 million. Each unit consisted of 2.5 newly issued shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $3.78 per share and have a term of three years. The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the investors was 969,717. We also issued warrants to purchase 339,396 shares of common stock to certain placement agents and financial advisors, including William Blair & Company, L.L.C and Halter Financial Securities, Inc., on the same terms as those sold to the investors. In connection with that transaction, we agreed to register the shares of our common stock within a pre-defined period. This prospectus is part of a registration statement which is being filed with the SEC to effect that registration.

As a result of these transactions, we currently have outstanding 36,823,626 shares of common stock and 1,309,113 shares of common stock underlying certain three year warrants to purchase common stock at $3.78 per share. We also have options to purchase 3,093,258 shares of common stock outstanding.

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

Overview

We are a green and organic food company with headquarters in Fujian Province, China. We currently provide over 100 kinds of fresh and processed products in three principal categories, bamboo shoot products, fresh vegetables and fruit, and processed vegetables. Bamboo shoot products accounted for approximately 52% of our revenue in 2010 and 79% of our revenue in the first quarter of 2011, while fresh vegetables and fruit accounted for approximately 28% and 16% of revenue, processed vegetables for 7% and 5% of revenue, and bamboo wood for 13% and 0% of revenue, respectively.

We have a vertically integrated production line consisting of planting, manufacturing and sales of final products. We can supply most of fresh raw material from our own land. We conduct our operations in China and sell products in 10 provinces and administrative regions in China as well as the Japanese market. We derived approximately 94% of our revenue in 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011 in China and approximately 6% in Japan.

Agricultural products are naturally subject to seasonality tied to their local growing season. For example, our fresh bamboo shoots, an important revenue driver, are only available for sale from approximately December through April. As a result, our fourth and first quarter revenues tend to be significantly higher than our second and third quarter revenues. We seek to offset the impact of seasonality on our revenues by managing a diversified portfolio of products. In addition to product diversification, we use cold storage facilities to preserve some of our fresh products to extend their season and time market sales to improve gross margin. We also maintain research and development facilities which focus on the development of unique products which either have unique size or flavor characteristics or which have the potential to expand the market for products, such as our high PH bamboo shoots.

We view our integrated operations as key to the quality of our products, as we monitor substantially all of our products from seed to ultimate sale. Accordingly, our ability to grow is dependent in part on the size of lands we control under lease, and our processing and storage capacity. We are currently experiencing rapid growth in our business and continually seek to procure additional lands for planting. We anticipate making capital expenditures over the next nine to twenty-one months to increase our cold storage capacity, increase production resources and establish new corporate offices.

Recent Developments

Net sales for the first quarter of 2011 were $25.9 million, an increase of approximately 14% over net sales in the first quarter of 2010. Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $6.0 million, a slight decrease of approximately 1%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

In addition, we believe that the investments we made in physical facilities and planting bases in 2010 establish a strong foundation for growth in 2011 and beyond. Our growth strategy is currently centered on the following five initiatives:

  • Expand our planting base.

  • Improve our profitability by continuously introducing new high value added products.

  • Further expand our domestic sales and distribution network and enter new markets.

  • Increase our cold storage capacity.

  • Further enhance our brand recognition.

-48-


We are continuing to invest in new forest and planting bases. The table below summarizes our planting bases as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

  December 31, 2010 March 31, 2011
Bamboo forest 30,500 acres
(123.43 square kilometers)
30,500 acres
(123.43 square kilometers)
Vegetables & Fruits 12,500 acres
(50.59 square kilometers)
12,500 acres
(50.59 square kilometers)

Through our research and development initiatives we plan to introduce at least one or two new products per year with the potential capture higher gross margins and improve profitability. We launched the sale of our proprietary high PH bamboo shoot product line in April 2010, and have experienced gross margins of approximately 73% on sales of that product through March 31, 2011. Overall, our gross margins for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were 30%, similar to our gross margins of 30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Our gross margin remained flat because of a similar product mix of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. No sales of our higher gross margin bamboo wood were made in either quarter; no sales of our higher gross margin high PH bamboo shoots were made in the first quarter of 2010; and only immaterial sales of such high PH bamboo shoots were made in the first quarter of 2011. Our high PH bamboo shoots maintain freshness and are generally sold in the "off season," when fresh bamboo shoots are not available. The season of fresh bamboo shoots is from December to April. Historically, we have generally sold bamboo wood in the second half of the year, and consistent with this practice made no sales of bamboo wood in the first quarter.

Our gross margins were 30% for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010. Our gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to approximately 36% from approximately 33% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as a result of product mix, including the sale of more high margin products such as bamboo wood and the new high PH bamboo shoots.

We currently sell through distributors and members of our own sales force to farmers' markets, supermarkets, food manufacturers, restaurants and retailers in China. The following table shows the number of internal sales team members, outside sales agents and markets served at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

  December 31, 2010 March 31, 2011
Internal Sales Team Members 56 62
Distributors 100 143

During the remainder of 2011, we plan to expand our sales network domestically, with our focus on the cities of Jinan, Nanjing, Beijing, Tianjin and Harbin. We have no immediate plans to expand our international sales presence beyond Japan.

We had a 6,000 metric ton cold storage facility as at March 31, 2011 for storing fresh and semi-finished products. We are adding 5,500 metric ton cold storage facility in order to meet the requirements of our existing products and the anticipated need for recent new product launches. As of March 31, 2011, the construction plan has been finalized and the construction work has commenced.

We have been gaining brand recognition in China, especially in Fujian Province. We will further enhance our branding through branded counters in supermarkets. We also plan to open a number of new exclusive Yada-branded distribution locations in select locations in China. At March 31, 2011 we had expanded our sales to approximately 800 supermarket stores and had opened five Yada-branded distribution locations.

In 2011, we plan to expand our sales network domestically, with our focus on the cities of Jinan, Nanjing, Beijing, Tianjin and Harbin. We have no immediate plans to expand our international sales presence beyond Japan.

The functional currency of the Company is RMB; however, our financial information is expressed in USD. The results of operations reported in the table above is based on the exchange rate of RMB 6.5712 to $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the rate of RMB 6.8190 to $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Sales. Our net sales consist of revenue derived from the sale of our food products, less discounts and returns. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our net sales were $25.9 million compared to $22.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of $3.2 million or approximately 14%. The increase was primarily due to increased production capacity from our expanded planting bases. Of such increase, approximately $2.8 million was attributable to increased sales volume of our products, while approximately $0.4 million was due to higher average selling prices of our products.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor, overhead and sales tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 our cost of sales were $18.1 million compared to $15.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of $2.3 million or approximately 14%. This increase was primarily due to the increase of sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of sales remained at approximately 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit is equal to our net revenues less our cost of sales. Our gross profit was $7.9 million for the three months ended, March 31, 2011 compared to $6.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of $1.0 million or approximately 15 percent. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was approximately 30% and 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our gross margin remained flat because of a similar product mix of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. No sales of our higher gross margin bamboo wood were made in either quarter; no sales of our higher gross margin high PH bamboo shoots were made in the first quarter of 2010; and only immaterial sales of such high PH bamboo shoots were made in the first quarter of 2011. Our high PH bamboo shoots maintain freshness and are generally sold in the "off season," when fresh bamboo shoots are not available. The season of fresh bamboo shoots is from December to April. Historically, we have generally sold bamboo wood in the second half of the year, and consistent with this practice made no sales of bamboo wood in the first quarter.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Our selling and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or approximately 317%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were approximately 1.8% of net sales, as compared to 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Both the dollar and percentage increase of our selling expenses is primarily attributable to the increase in the expenses associated with our sales expansion in Chinese domestic market, and to a lesser extent to employee share options granted.

Our administrative expenses primarily include the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, office expense, professional fees paid to third parties, foreign exchange expense, and depreciation of non-production facilities. Our administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or approximately 443%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is mainly attributed to compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million arising from the grant of employee share options; to a lesser extent to professional fees paid to third parties that we did not incur during the three months ended March 31, 2010; and to a still lesser extent to the increase in salaries and travel expenses. As a percentage of net sales, administrative expenses increased to approximately 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Finance Costs. Our net finance costs decreased to $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly due to government subsidies for interest expenses set off.

Income Taxes. We had income taxes of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This slight decrease was primarily attributable to our decreased taxable profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Income. Our net income decreased by $0.1 million or approximately 1%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The slight decline on our net income was caused primarily by an increase in gross profit that was more than offset by increases in our sales and administrative expenses.

Net Sales. Our net sales consist of revenue derived from the sale of our food products, less discounts and returns. For the year ended December 31, 2010 our net sales were $72.1 million compared to $39.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of $32.3 million or approximately 81%. Of such increase, approximately $22.2 million was attributable to increased sales volume of our products, while approximately $10.1 million was due to higher average selling prices of our products.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor, overhead and sales tax. For the year ended December 31, 2010 our cost of sales were approximately $46.3 million compared to approximately $26.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of approximately $19.8 million or approximately 75%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, the cost of sales decreased to approximately 64% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from approximately 67% for year ended December 31, 2009.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit is equal to our net revenues less our cost of sales. Our gross profit was approximately $25.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $13.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of approximately $12.5 million or approximately 94%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was approximately 36% and 33% for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in the gross margin was primarily attributable to product mix. During 2010 higher margin products such as bamboo wood and our new high PH bamboo shoots comprised a greater portion of overall sales. The gross margin of our high PH bamboo shoots was approximately 73% for the year ended December 31, 2010 while there were no sales of high PH bamboo shoots in the year ended on December 31, 2009. The gross margins of our bamboo wood were approximately 79% and 84% for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Gross margin also improved to a lesser extent as a result of the increase in average sales prices in Chinese domestic market. In addition, reclamation fees for our bamboo forests and vegetables planting bases were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2010, while no such costs were incurred in 2009.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Our selling and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.8 million, or approximately 280%, to approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased to approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $0.3 million for the prior year, an increase of approximately $1.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately 2%, as compared to approximately 1% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Both the dollar and percentage increase of our selling expenses are generally attributable to higher expenses associated with our sales expansion in Chinese domestic market, and to a lesser extent, branding activities.

Our administrative expenses include the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, office expense, professional fees paid to third parties, foreign exchange expense, and depreciation of non-production facilities. Our administrative expenses increased approximately $1.6 million, or approximately 224%, to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The increase is mainly attributable to our change in status to a publicly traded company and the associated professional fees paid to third parties that we did not incur during the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, we experienced increases in our salaries, depreciation costs and travel expenses. As a percentage of net sales, administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately 3%, as compared to approximately 2% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net Finance Costs. Our net finance costs, increased approximately $0.2 million, or approximately 46%, to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from approximately $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase is mainly due to an increase in average bank loan balances.

Income Taxes. We had an income tax credit of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to an income tax credit of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This was primarily attributable to an increase in our tax loss, which was due primarily to our tax exemption on profits from fresh produce.

Net Income. Our net income increased by approximately $9.5 million, or approximately 78%, to approximately $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from approximately $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The main reasons for the growth of our net income were due to the changes in our other key components of our results of operations discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.0 million, compared to approximately $10.0 million for December 31, 2010. Our accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 were $25.3 million, compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2010. Our days’ sales outstanding decreased to 88 days as at March 31, 2011 from 106 days as at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a higher portion of sales of fresh products during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  In accordance with industry norms, we generally experience shorter payment cycles for fresh products than we do for processed products. We finished the first quarter with working capital of $58.3 million, compared to $51.3 million at December 31, 2010.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $3.5 million provided by operating activities for three months ended March 31, 2010. The change was primarily attributable to increase in inventories.

Our days' sales outstanding decreased to 88 days as at March 31, 2011 from 106 days as at December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to a higher portion of sales of fresh products which generally have a shorter payment cycle during the three months ended 31 March 2011 as compared to the three months ended 31 December 2010.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3.8 million compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 3.9 million used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $9.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $1.1 million in fiscal year 2009. The net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2010 was mainly attributable to proceeds from issue of shares to investors partially offset by repayments of advances from related parties.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, the above amounts were converted from RMB to U.S. dollars at specified rates, as follows: for any contract entered into in the first quarter of 2011, the conversion rate was 6.5703 RMB per dollar; for any contract entered into in 2010, the conversion rate was 6.6120 RMB per dollar; and for any contract entered into 2009, the conversion rate was 6.6762 RMB per dollar.

These financing agreements serve as one of our principal sources of funding and any failure by us to meet the covenants in the agreements could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources. The companies noted in the agreements have been in compliance with the covenants in the respective agreements.

In order to comply with the various financing agreements and their covenants, the Company is prohibited from borrowing “substantial” amounts of money, or leasing or subsequently pledging already pledged assets, without the prior consent of each relevant lender. In addition, although the Company historically has not obtained financing from sales of its assets, pursuant to the covenants in the financing documents, the Company cannot sell a “significant” amount of its assets without prior consent from each relevant lender. The terms “significant” and “substantial” are not defined in the relevant contracts. The Company believes that a value exceeding approximately 10% of our total assets, or about $8.8 million as of March 31, 2011, would be significant or substantial and we would trigger a requirement to obtain the prior consent of various lenders. However, the lenders may have a different interpretation of the limitation on our ability to borrow money or sell assets, and it may be lower than our understanding of the provisions of the loan agreements. If we were to inadvertently sell assets or borrow money with a value in excess of what our lenders believe is permissible without their consent, they could pursue breach of contract and other claims against us, which could harm our business and reputation. Historically, compliance with these covenants has not had a significant impact on the Company's liquidity and capital resources. However, we cannot assure you that compliance with such covenants will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources in the future.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our capital expenditures were mainly used to acquire property, plant and equipment and land use rights to expand our production capacity. We currently estimate that our aggregate capital expenditures in fiscal year 2011 will be approximately $29 million, which we intend to use primarily for expansion of bamboo forests, constructing additional cold storage and preliminary processing facilities.

58


Capital Resources

At March 31, 2011 we did not have any unused credit facility that was available to us.

The Company has made a provision of approximately $604,000 to cover potential liability with respect to certain unpaid social insurance obligations for full-time employees. We believe that the total potential liabilities include cost of rectifying non-compliance of the social insurance obligations for full-time employees and temporary workers, and the cost of rectifying non-compliance of the housing fund obligations for full-time employees and temporary workers, and may be as much as $1,499,000 . See “Risk Factors—We may face claims or administrative penalties for non-execution of labor contracts or non-payment and/or underpayment of the social insurance and housing fund obligations in respect of our temporary workers and full-time employees.” The provision reflects our good faith estimate of the costs of rectifying our non-compliance with these obligations; actual costs could be lower or higher. If we are required to rectify our non-compliance and the costs of doing so approach or exceed our good faith estimate, it would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

We receive significant tax exemptions and subsidies in connection with our business activities in China. See “Risk Factors—We benefit from certain preferential tax policies and subsidies for agricultural producers in China; the discontinuation or loss of any of these policies or subsidies would increase our tax expenses and reduce our profitability.” For example, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we enjoyed an income tax exemption on profits from fresh produce worth approximately $5.93 million. Moreover, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we had government grant income, in the form of government grants received for compensation of finance costs already incurred or for good performance of the Company, equal to approximately $44,000. We cannot assure you that these tax exemptions and grants will continue, and if they do not, our net cash provided by operating activities and net income will be reduced by the value of the benefits lost. Based on our financial performance in prior periods, this decrease would constitute a material adverse effect on our operating results and liquidity and capital resources.

We believe that our cash on hand, and cash flow from operations will meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. However, our cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.” In addition, we may, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.

We may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities in order to fund the expansion of our planting bases. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Critical Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2011 , almost all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in RMB and were placed with banks in the PRC. They are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. The remaining insignificant balance of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in United States Dollars and Japanese Yen.

59


Restricted cash

Deposits in banks pledged as securities for bills payable and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-21) that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under current assets.

Allowance for doubtful debts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance, we consider the historical level of credit losses and apply percentages to aged receivable categories. We make judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitor current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Based on the above assessment, during the reporting years, we established the general provisioning policy to make an allowance equivalent to 30% of gross amount of trade receivables due between one and two years and 100% of gross amount of accounts receivable due over 2 years. Additional specific provision is made against trade receivables whenever they are considered to be doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. We extend unsecured credit to certain customers ranging from one to three months in the normal course of business. We do not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by us and no significant additional bad debts have been expensed. This general provisioning policy has not changed in the past since its establishment and the management considers the general provisioning policy adequate and does not expect to change this established policy in the near future.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using the weighted average cost method for finished goods, raw materials and packaging materials. Finished goods include fresh and processed produce while raw materials and packaging materials consist primarily of purchased fresh and processed produce and containers.

Expenditures on bamboo and other growing crops are valued at the lower of cost or market and are deferred and charged to cost of sales when the related produce is harvested and sold. The deferred growing costs included in inventories in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of land rental cost and service costs.

In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase or decrease with our projected demand requirements and market conditions. We estimate the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by our customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.

In addition, we estimate net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. We write down the inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Based on the above assessment, we established a general provision to make a 20% provision for inventories aged between one and two years and 100% provision for inventories aged over 2 years.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.

60


Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis (after taking into account the respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The principal useful lives and residual value are as follows:

    Estimated     Residual  
    useful lives     value  
             
Buildings   30 years     5%  
Plant and machinery   5 - 10 years     5%  
Motor vehicles   5 years     5%  
Electronic equipment   5 years     5%  
Leasehold improvement   Over lease term     -  

Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

Construction in progress mainly represents expenditures in respect of our offices and factories under construction. All direct costs relating to the acquisition or construction of our offices and factories are capitalized as construction in progress. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.

Land use rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the terms of the lease obtained from the relevant PRC land authority.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10-45 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144). We periodically evaluate potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During the reporting periods, we have not identified any indicators that would require testing for impairment.

Capitalized interest

The interest cost associated with the major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project using weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of the Company’s products, including fresh produce and processed produce, is recognized upon customer acceptance, which occurs at the time of delivery to customer, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as signed sales contract, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time when the products are delivered to its customers with no significant post-delivery obligation on our part, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. We do not provide our customers with contractual rights of return and post-delivery discount for any of our products, including fresh produce and processed produce. When there is any significant post-delivery performance obligations exits, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled. The Company evaluates the terms of sales agreement with its customer for fresh produce and processed produce in order to determine whether any significant post-delivery performance obligations exist. Currently, the sales under fresh produce and processed produce segments do not include any terms which may impose any significant post-delivery performance obligations to the Company.

61


Revenue from sales of the Company’s product represents the invoiced value of goods, net of the value-added tax (“VAT”). The Company’s processed produce products that are sold in the PRC are subject to VAT at a rate of 17 percent of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials, other materials or costs included in the cost of producing the Company’s processed produce products.

Revenue from sales of our product represents the invoiced value of goods, net of the value-added tax ("VAT"). Our processed produce products that are sold in the PRC are subject to VAT at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT we pay on raw materials, other materials or costs included in the cost of producing our processed produce products.

Government grants

Government grants are received for compensation of finance costs already incurred or for good performance and are recognized when the approval documents are obtained from the relevant government authorities.

For compensation of finance costs, we match and offset the government grants with the finance costs as specified in the grant approval document in the corresponding period when such expenses are incurred. Government grants received for good performance are recognized as income in the period they become recognizable.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of land rental cost and service costs, materials costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, wages, employee compensation, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the cost of fresh and processed produce and production of products. Write-down of inventories to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of sales.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses consist primarily of office expenses, entertainment, traveling expenses, depreciation, audit fee, salaries and staff pension which are incurred at the administrative level and exchange difference.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of advertising, salaries and transportation costs incurred during the selling activities.

Income taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 "Income Taxes" (previously SFAS No. 109). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We file separate tax returns in the United States and China. Income taxes of the Company's PRC subsidiary are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. For Asia Green Agriculture Corporation, applicable U.S. tax laws are followed. We expect that the tax rate of 25% currently applicable to Fujian Yada will remain unchanged in 2011.

In 2007, China passed the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law significantly curtails tax incentives granted to foreign-invested enterprises under the previous law. The New EIT Law, however, (i) reduces the statutory rate of enterprise income tax from 33% to 25%, (ii) permits companies to continue to enjoy their existing tax incentives, adjusted by certain transitional phase-out rules, and (iii) introduces new tax incentives, subject to various qualification criteria.

62


Substantially all of our income may be derived from dividends we receive from our PRC operating subsidiaries. The New EIT Law and its implementing rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. We expect that such 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see "Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Doing Business in China — Under the New EIT Law, we may be classified as a 'resident enterprise' of China." Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

Advertising, transportation, research and development expenses

Advertising, transportation, research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Dividends

Dividends are recorded in our financial statements in the period in which they are declared.

Comprehensive income

We have adopted ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income" (previously SFAS No. 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign currency translation

Our functional currency of the Company is the RMB and RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. We maintain our financial statements in our functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

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

Derivative financial instruments

We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Topic ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging". The topic requires us to recognize the value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated as a hedge and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship.

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts ("forward exchange contracts") to manage its exposure to the foreign currency exchange risk related to the trade receivables denominated in Japanese Yen. We do not enter into forward exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes. In accordance with US GAAP, the forward exchange contracts are considered as "derivatives not designated as hedging instruments". Therefore, the forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded in the consolidated statements of income within "other net income (loss)" in the period in which they occur.

63


Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 beginning on page F-10.

Corporate Governance

Board Committees

Our organizational documents authorize a board of not less than one member. Mr. Zhan, who serves as chairman of our board also serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors does not have a lead independent director. Our board of directors has determined that its leadership structure was appropriate and effective for the Company given its stage of operations. We intend to establish a full board of directors, including a majority of independent directors. We will re-evaluate our leadership structure once we have added additional members to our board of directors.

We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. However, our management plans to form an audit, compensation and nominating committee in the near future. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors and evaluating our accounting policies and system of internal controls. We envision that the compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers. The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors. The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures. Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by our Board of Directors. Although our Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, our Board of Directors considers the candidate's character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of our Company and our Board of Directors.

Director Independence

We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term "independent" is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

65

Prior to the consummation of our acquisition of Sino Oriental on August 20, 2010, the management and oversight of the Company required less than four (4) hours per month. Because the Company's former officers and directors were engaged in other full-time income producing activities, they did not receive any compensation from the Company.

Summary Compensation Table

This narrative discussion, as well as the table and footnotes below, provide a summary of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The Named Executive Officers are Zhan Youdai, our Chief Executive Officer, and Zhang He and Tsang Yin Chiu Stanley, the next two most highly compensated individuals who were providing services to us or our subsidiaries on December 31, 2010, the last day of our most recent fiscal year.

Salary - Named Executive Officers are paid a salary which reflects the dollar value of cash base salary earned by each executive during the relevant fiscal year. The slight increase in salary for each of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhan in 2009 compared to 2008 and the significantly larger increase from 2009 to 2010 was decided by the Board of Directors of our subsidiary Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd.. based on a combination of factors, including each person’s individual performance, length of service and position, as well as the overall performance of our subsidiary. The monthly salary of RMB 2,000, or $264, for Mr. Zhang is a benchmark amount specified in his open-ended employment contract. Mr. Zhang’s monthly salary increased from approximately RMB1,700, or $245, to RMB 2,700, or $339, from 2008 to 2010. Mr. Tsang Yin Chiu Stanley commenced employment at the company in March 2010. He was paid approximately RMB40,000, or $5,865, per month until 22 September 2010, after which he was paid approximately RMB50,000, or $7,509, per month.

66


Bonus – We have also paid bonuses of RMB16,800, or $2,485, for fiscal year 2010, RMB9,600, or $1,407, for fiscal year 2009, and RMB19,200, or $2,765, for fiscal year 2008 to each of Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhang. The bonuses issued to each of Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhang were decided by the Board of Directors of our subsidiary Fujian Yada Group Co., Ltd., based on a combination of factors, including each person’s individual performance and the overall performance of our subsidiary. The bonuses for Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhang declined in 2009 compared to 2008, primarily because the Board of our subsidiary had previously determined that aggregate cash remuneration for each in 2009 should not increase in light of the poor economic conditions and the state of our subsidiary’s business as of the time of such determination, and reaffirmed that decision late in 2009 when the Board reconsidered the issue. In 2010, Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhang’s bonuses increased, reflecting primarily our subsidiary’s performance and improved economic conditions.

Stock Awards and Option Awards - The value of restricted stock unit awards and option awards included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the following table represents the grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the applicable fiscal year. We did not award any stock units or options to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2010, 2009 or 2008.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation - The value of Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation is included in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation Earnings”. We did not provide non-equity incentive plan compensation to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2010, 2009, or 2008.

All Other Compensation - This column represents all other compensation for the relevant fiscal year not reported in the previous columns. We did not provide any other compensation to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2010, 2009, or 2008.

The following table sets forth information concerning all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the named persons for services rendered in all capacities during the noted periods. No other executive officers received total annual compensation in excess of $100,000.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Our securities are currently eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "AGAC". As of the date of this report, there has been no material trading in our common stock.

Holders

As of August 20, 2010, there were approximately 500 stockholders of record of our common stock. The number of record holders does not include persons who held our common stock in nominee or "street name" accounts through brokers. The last reported sale price of our common stock on April 28, 2011 was $4.00 per share.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our board of directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our stockholders. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Please refer to the section “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business In China – Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiary’s ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or complete acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our businesses”

Furthermore, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could limited our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions to pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects. “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business In China – Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the Foreign Exchange Registration for Oversea Investment and Return Investment by PRC resident”.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

We presently do not have any equity based or other long-term incentive programs. In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity-based or other long-term incentive plan if it is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders to do so.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any shares by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

  • privately negotiated transactions;

  • short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

75


  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

  • broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

  • a combination of any such methods of sale.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchase of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

Any underwriters, agents, or broker-dealers, and any selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers, that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We know of no existing arrangements between any of the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares, nor can we presently estimate the amount, if any, of such compensation. See “Selling Stockholders” for description of any material relationship that a stockholder has with us and the description of such relationship.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

76


In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume limitations.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles a stockholder to one vote on all matters upon which stockholders are permitted to vote. Common stock does not confer on the holder any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase or subscribe for any additional securities issued by us, is not convertible into other securities.

No shares of common stock are subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions. All the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors has never declared a dividend and does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future. Should we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to do so and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary and other holdings and investments. In addition, our operating subsidiary in the PRC, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors and any liquidation preference on outstanding preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

We may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share in one or more classes or series within a class as may be determined by our board of directors, who may establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each class or series, may fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Any preferred stock so issued by the board of directors may rank senior to the common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. Moreover, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or the existence of the unissued preferred stock might tend to discourage or render more difficult a merger or other change in control.

77


No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Our independent stock transfer agent is Securities Transfer Corporation. Its address is 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75034. Its contact numbers are (469) 633-0101 for voice calls and (469) 633-0088 for fax transmissions. The transfer agent's website is located at www.stctransfer.com.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

As of April 28, 2011, there were 36,823,626 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Shares issued in the Reorganization

We were originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 31, 2008 to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of reorganization. See "Corporate Structure and History" above. In connection with a plan of reorganization a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock were issued to Halter Financial Group, Inc. and 250,010 shares were issued to issued to 449 holders of unsecured debt. The 1,250,010 shares were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933.

Shares Covered by this Prospectus

All of the 7,667,458 shares being registered in this offering may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933.

Lock Up Agreement

On August 20, 2010, we entered into a lock-up agreement (the "Lock Up Agreement") with the former shareholders of Sino Oriental pursuant to which the shareholders irrevocably agreed not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of an aggregate of 25,840,830 shares of our common stock during the period commencing on the date of the Lock-Up Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is first declared effective by the SEC.

Rule 144

The SEC adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 and apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (1) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, (2) we are subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (3) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

78


  • 1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding, which will equal approximately 368,236 shares immediately after this offering; or

  • the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

However, since we anticipate that our shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is not an “automated quotation system,” our stockholders will not be able to rely on the market-based volume limitation described in the second bullet above. If, in the future, our securities are listed on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, then our stockholders would be able to rely on the market-based volume limitation. Unless and until our stock is so listed or quoted, our stockholders can only rely on the percentage based volume limitation described in the first bullet above.

Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144. The selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

  • the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

  • the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

  • the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

  • at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, our stockholders who received shares from the exchange with Sino Oriental will be able to rely on Rule 144 to sell their shares without registration, once such shares are no longer subject to the Lock Up Agreement, from and after August 25, 2011 (the one year anniversary of our filing of an 8-K with Form 10 information with the SEC).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in US Dollars)

1.

Corporate information and general

     
(i)

Asia Green Agriculture Corporation (formerly known as SMSA Palestine Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) was organized on May 21, 2008 as a Nevada corporation to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below.

     

The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on August 1, 2007 created the combination of a change in majority ownership and voting control - that is, loss of control by the then-existing stockholders, a court-approved reorganization, and a reliable measure of the entity’s fair value - resulting in a fresh start, creating, in substance, a new reporting entity. Accordingly, the Company, post bankruptcy, had no significant assets, liabilities or operating activities. Therefore, the Company, as a new reporting entity, qualified as a “development stage enterprise” as defined in Development Stage Entities topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and as a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, (Securities Act), and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (Exchange Act).

     

On November 4, 2009, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Yang Yongjie (“Mr. Yang”), a resident of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), pursuant to which he acquired 11.25 million shares of our common stock for $4,500 cash or $0.001 per share (as adjusted for a 2.5 for 1 forward stock split on January 18, 2011 (the “Forward Stock Split”)).

     

Prior to the completion of reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) on August 20, 2010 as mentioned in Note 2(vi), the Company was a development stage company for development of the Chinese restaurant concept. Following the completion of RTO on August 20, 2010, the Company commenced to be engaged in the production and marketing of fresh and processed produce, including bamboos, bamboo shoots, cucumber, corn, mushrooms and other agricultural products.

Misaky Industrial Limited (“Misaky”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on December 10, 2004 as a limited liability company with authorized capital of HK$10,000, divided into 10,000 common shares of HK$1 par value each, of which 3,001 common shares were issued and paid up. Before the acquisition by Sino Oriental Agriculture Group Limited (“Sino Oriental”) as described in note 2(v), Misaky was wholly owned by Mr. Youdai Zhan (“Mr. Zhan”) through a trust agreement with Mr. Yangbo Cai, (“Mr. Cai”).

Prior to the completion of RTO on August 20, 2010, the 50,000 common shares were held by Mr. Zhan through a trust agreement with Mr. Cai and other noncontrolling shareholders. The sole director of Sino Oriental is Mr. Zhan. The principal business of Sino Oriental is an investment holding and only holds 100% equity interest in the Misaky.

Summary of significant accounting policies

   

Basis of consolidation and presentation

   

Before and immediately after the completion of Reorganization, the Company, Misaky, Sino Oriental, Fujian Yada, Yaxin, Shengda and Xinda were under the common control of Mr. Zhan and his spouse, Madam Liufeng Zhou. Accordingly, accounting for recapitalization is adopted for the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements to present the combined results of operations and financial position of the Company, Misaky, Sino Oriental, Fujian Yada, Yaxin, Shengda and Xinda as if the current group structure, which means that Misaky, Sino Oriental, Fujian Yada, Yaxin, Shengda and Xinda are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, had been in existence at the beginning of the reporting period. The 29,214,043 shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock issued for RTO are deemed the opening common stock since January 1, 2009 to reflect the recapitalization.

   

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulation and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

   

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

F-7


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and other receivables, prepayment and deposits. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which the management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any balance of gross trade receivables due from individual customer that represented 10% or more of the Company’s gross trade receivables.

During the three months period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have sales to any individual customer that represented 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated sales.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted ASC 820 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157) on January 1, 2008. The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities approximate to their fair values due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximate the current market rates.

The fair values of secured borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Topic ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The topic requires the Company to recognize the value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated as a hedge and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship.

The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward exchange contracts”) to manage its exposure to the foreign currency exchange risk related to the trade receivable denominated in Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The Company does not enter into forward exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes. In accordance with US GAAP, the forward exchange contracts are considered as “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments”. Therefore, the foreign exchange contracts are recorded at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within “other income - net” in the period in which they occur. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts to sell totaling JPY667,000,000 and JPY667,000,000 respectively with maturities of less than one year.

F-8


Fair value measurements

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. The Company uses the following three levels of inputs in determining the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, focusing on the most observable inputs when available :-

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were based on the use of Level 2 inputs as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

    Included in the following

Total gain recorded   Other income - net   $  192,296   $  32,050  

The Company estimates the fair value of forward exchange contracts on a quarterly basis by obtaining market quotes of spot and forward rates for contracts with similar terms, adjusted where necessary for maturity differences. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”. The objective of ASU 2010-20 is to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. Under ASU 2010-20, an entity is required to provide disclosures so that financial statement users can evaluate the nature of the credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed to arrive at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is applicable to all entities, both public and non-public and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosure for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption is encouraged but not required. However, comparative disclosures are required to be disclosed for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20”. The amendments in this Update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosure about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructuring for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. The amendments to Topic 310 clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. A creditor should evaluate whether it is probable that the debtor would be in payment default on any of its debts in foreseeable future without the modification. In addition, the amendments to Topic 310 clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables (paragraph 470-60-55-10) when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. An entity should disclose the total amount of receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are newly considered impaired under Section 310-10-35 for which impairment was previously measured under Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies. The adoption of this ASU update has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Income taxes

   

United States

   

Asia Green Agriculture Corporation is subject to the United States of America Tax law at tax rate of 34%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting period.

   

BVI

   

Sino Oriental is incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, are not subject to income taxes.

   

Hong Kong

   

Misaky is incorporated in Hong Kong and subject to profit tax rate of 16.5% on the assessable profits during the years. No provision for Hong Kong profit tax has been made on Misaky as Misaky had no taxable income in this jurisdiction for the reporting period.

   

PRC

   

Pursuant to the new PRC’s enterprise income tax (“EIT”) law, Fujian Yada, Yaxin, Xinda, Shengda, Shanghai Yada, Fuzhou Yada, Shixing Yada, Yudu Yada and Jiangyang Yaxin are subject to EIT at the statutory rate of 25%. In addition, the Company’s profits generated from its fresh produce and certain processed produce, which have been qualified as agriculture product under the EIT law, are exempted from EIT.

F-12


In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10-25 (previously Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The Company adopted this ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007. Under the new CIT Law which became effective on January 1, 2008, the Company may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by the PRC tax authorities. If the Company was deemed to be resident enterprise, the Company may be subject to the CIT at 25% on the worldwide taxable income and dividends paid from PRC subsidiaries to their overseas holding companies may be exempted from 10% PRC withholding tax. Except for certain immaterial interest income from bank deposits placed with financial institutions outside the PRC, all of the Company’s income is generated from the PRC operation. Given the immaterial amount of income generated from outside the PRC and the PRC subsidiaries do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, the management considers that the impact arising from resident enterprise on the Company’s financial position is not significant. The management evaluated the Company’s overall tax positions and considered that no provision for uncertainty in income taxes is necessary as of March 31, 2011.

Make good escrow agreement

   

In connection with a private placement completed on August 20, 2010, Mr. Cai, the major shareholder of the Company, entered into a make good escrow agreement (the "Escrow Arrangement") with the investors under the private placement pursuant to which he agreed to place 4,848,525 shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of our common stock (the “Make Good Share”) owned by him in an escrow account administrated by an escrow agent. In the event of the Company fail to achieve the earnings per share targets of 2010 and 2011, the escrow agent shall distribute the Make Good Share to the investors on a pro rate basis for any shortfall.

   

For the purpose of the Escrow Arrangement, the earnings per share targets of 2010 and 2011 shall be determined by $18,176,145 and $27,264,218 divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) immediately following the closing of the private placement respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company achieved the earnings per share target of 2010 and the Make Good Share will be released to Mr. Cai when the Company achieves earnings per share target of 2011.


Since Mr. Cai is only a major stockholder without taking any management position of the Company and the release or cancellation of Make Good Share is not contingent on continued employment of any management shareholders, in accordance with ASC 718-10-S99-2, the Company considered that the presumption of compensation in this Escrow Arrangement should be overcome and that no compensation charge should be recognized. The Escrow Arrangement should be recorded as an inducement to facilitate the private placement on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction shall be recorded as a reduction of proceeds from the private placement in an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the Make Good Share of $1,160,114 on August 20, 2010, the date of the Make Good Escrow Agreement and completion of the private placement, with corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Make Good Share was estimated, at the date of Make Good Escrow Agreement, by reference to the estimated placing price per share of the Company’s common stock in the private placement completed on August 20, 2010 and the probability of any shortfall in earnings per share targets of 2010 and 2011 estimated by the management.

Registration payment arrangement

On August 20, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of 4,848,525 shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock and warrants in order to purchase up to 969,717 shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock at an exercise price of $3.78 per share (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split). In connection with the private placement, warrants to purchase up to 339,396 shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock at an exercise price of $3.78 per share (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) were issued to the Placement Agent.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company was required to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (i) registering for resale by the investors 4,848,525 shares (as adjustment for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock and warrants in order to purchase up to 969,717 shares (as adjustment for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock issued to the investors; and (ii) registering for resale for the Placement Agents for the warrants to purchase up to 339,396 shares (as adjustment for the Forward Stock Split) of common stock (all of the foregoing securities being collectively referred herein as the “Registrable Securities”). The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file the Registration Statement within 30 days from the closing date, dated August 20, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), (the “Registration Filing Date”) and to have the Registration Statement declared effective prior to the 150th day following the Closing Date (the “Registration Effective Date”).

In the event that (i) the Registration Statement has not been filed on or prior to the Registration Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC on or before the Registration Effective Date; and (ii) the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement are not saleable under Rule 144, the Company shall pay to each investor as liquidated damages, a cash payment equal to 0.5% per month of the aggregated amount invested by such investors in the private placement until the registration statement has been filed and/or declared effective, but the maximum amount of liquidated damages is capped at 6% on aggregated amount invested by such investors. In accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies”, the Company records a liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with FASB ASC 825-20, if the Company determines a registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated, a liability should be recorded.

F-19


Up to the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Registration Statement was not declared effective and the provision of liquidated damages was made in an amount of $290,861 as of March 31, 2011 with reference to the estimated effective date of Registration Statement. Liquidated damage of $113,354 was recognized and allocated to administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Up to the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of the directors it is not probable that the Company will be required to make any further material payments under the registration rights arrangement and therefore no further provision for such liability has been made.

Segment information

The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly fresh produce and processed produce and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has two operating segments as defined by ASC 280, “Segments Reporting” (previously SFAS 131): Fresh produce and processed produce.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on reportable operating segments’ gross profit. There is no inter-segment sales or transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Management does not track segment assets and, therefore, segment assets information is not presented.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes and may, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors, so indemnify our officers and any other person whom we have the power to indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matter. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Limitations on liability provided for in our Articles of Incorporation do not restrict the availability of non-monetary remedies and do not affect a director’s responsibility under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.

We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and directors. The inclusion of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing a likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even through such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us or our stockholders.

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

82


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

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On August 1, 2007, Halter Financial Group, Inc. exercised the option granted to it in connection with its participation in structuring the First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan (the “Plan”) for reorganization of Senior Management Services of Palestine, Inc. and the provision of $115,000 to be used to pay professional fees associated with the Plan confirmation process. As a result of the exercise of the option by Halter Financial Group, Inc., 80% of our outstanding common stock, or 1,000,000 shares, was issued to Halter Financial Group, Inc. on May 21, 2008 in satisfaction of Halter Financial Group, Inc.’s administrative claims. The remaining 20% of our outstanding common stock, or 250,010 shares, was issued to 449 holders of unsecured debt. As further consideration for the issuance of the 1,000,000 Plan Shares to Halter Financial Group, Inc., the Plan required Halter Financial Group, Inc. to assist us in identifying a potential merger or acquisition candidate, to provide for the payment of our ongoing operating expenses and to provide us, at no cost, with consulting services, including assisting us with formulating the structure of any proposed merger or acquisition. Additionally, Halter Financial Group, Inc. was responsible for paying our legal and accounting expenses related to this registration statement and our expenses incurred in consummating a merger or acquisition. The issuance of our shares to Halter Financial Group, Inc. and the holders of unsecured debt was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation S promulgated under Securities Act.

On November 4, 2009, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Yang Yongjie, a resident of China, pursuant to which Yang Yongjie acquired 11.25 million shares of our common stock for $4,500. At that time, our business plan was to develop the Chinese restaurant concept currently undertaken by Legend Restaurant Management, a Samoa corporation in which Yang Yongjie owns an interest. After giving effect to this transaction, 12,500,010 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. The issuance of our shares to Yang Yongjie was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The restaurant business did not develop as anticipated and on August 20, 2010, we entered into a share cancellation agreement with Yang Yongjie pursuant to which Yang Yongjie surrendered for cancellation 9,738,180 shares of our outstanding common stock that were previously issued to him pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated November 4, 2009.

On August 20, 2010, in connection an exchange agreement we issued 29,214,043 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Sino Oriental. The total consideration for the 29,214,043 shares of our common stock was 50,000 shares of Sino Oriental, which are all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sino Oriental. We did not receive any cash consideration in connection with the share exchange. The number of our shares issued to the shareholders of Sino Oriental was determined based on an arms-length negotiation. The issuance of our shares to those shareholders was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

On August 20, 2010, under the terms of a securities purchase agreement, we sold 4,848,532 units, each consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one-fifth of a share of our common stock, to certain institutional investors for a total of $15.3 million. The warrants entitle their holders to purchase, in the aggregate, 969, 720 shares of our common stock. In addition, we issued to the Placement Agents and the financial advisor warrants to purchase 339, 396 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $3.78 per share and have a term of three years. The issuance of our shares and warrants to the investors and the Placement Agents was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

83


Under the stock option plan adopted by the Company in 2010, options to purchase an aggregate of 3,093,258 shares of our common stock, with an exercise period of 10 years, were granted to the management and employees of the Company on February 14, 2011. The issuance of these options was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

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

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

In instances described above where we indicate that we relied upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in issuing securities, our reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) each subscriber was neither a U.S. person nor acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person, (b) each subscriber agreed not to offer or sell the shares (including any pre-arrangement for a purchase by a U.S. person or other person in the United States) directly or indirectly, in the United States or to any natural person who is a resident of the United States or to any other U.S. person as defined in Regulation S unless registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and similar state laws is available, (c) each subscriber agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to our shares of common stock unless in compliance with the Securities Act, (d) each subscriber made his, her or its subscription from the subscriber's residence or offices at an address outside of the United States and (e) each subscriber or the subscriber's advisor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and protecting his interests in connection with an investment in us.

Item 17. Undertakings

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

84


     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;

          (b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

          (c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

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

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

          (a) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

          (b) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

     (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

85


          (a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

          (b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

          (c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

          (d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(B) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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