Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
 
Note 1 - Principal Activities and Organization

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Polypeptide Group, Inc. (“CPGI” or the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”), Cantix International Limited (“Cantix”), Moneyeasy Industries Limited (“Moneyeasy”), Wuhan Tallyho Biological Product Co., Limited (“Tallyho”), Guangdong Hopsun Polypeptide Biological Technology Co., Limited (“Hopsun”), Wuhan Polypeptide Anti-Aging Research & Development Co., Limited (“Anti-Aging”), and Guangdong Xingpu Polypeptide Research Co., Limited (“Xingpu”). The Company, its subsidiaries and VIE are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

Principal Activities

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

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

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

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

Anti-Aging was founded on June 13, 2007 in the PRC, with $1,045,246 (RMB8,000,000) paid-in capital and specialized in research and development of polypeptide-based health products and provision of related technological services. Anti-Aging is a wholly owned subsidiary of Moneyeasy.
 
Xingpu is a development stage company established on March 2, 2010. Its registered capital is approximately $29,255,164 (RMB200,000,000) of which $5,851,033 (RMB40,000,000) was paid up as of June 30, 2011. The equity holders of Xingpu are Mr. Dongliang Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Shengfan Yan, the President and a director of the Company, with each holding a 50% equity interest of Xingpu. Xingpu’s business scope includes polypeptide product development, real estate investment, technology transfer, technical consultation, import and export, with its current purpose being to develop the Group’s regional headquarter and its research and development center.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Company has concluded that Xingpu is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary and loss absorber as of June 30, 2011. Under the requirements of ASC Topic 810 the Company consolidated the financial statements of Xingpu.

The financial performance of Xingpu reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 includes revenues of $nil, net loss of $35,894.

The accompany (a) consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, previously filed with the SEC.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, its consolidated results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

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

(c) Inventories

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

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

Land use rights represent payments for the rights to use certain parcels of land for a certain period of time in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period the rights are granted, i.e., 50 years.
 
 
7

 
 
(e) Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

ASC Topic 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase the valuation allowance against all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets resulting in a substantial adverse impact on our operating results.

(g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

 
8

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

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

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

(h) Segment reporting

The Group has one operating segment as defined by ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Group’s revenues generated from customers was 100% generated in the PRC,  and the Group’s total long-lived tangible assets was all located in the PRC. Consequently no geographic information is presented.

(i) Significant concentrations and risks

Concentration of Customers

The top two third-party customers accounted for approximately 14.9% of the consolidated revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and the top four third party customers accounted for approximately 9.0% of the consolidated revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

The top three third-party customers accounted for 85.4% of the accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011 and the top four third-party customers accounted for 67.1% of the accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010.

Concentration of Suppliers

The top two third-party suppliers accounted for approximately 29.6% of the total purchase for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, and the top three third-party suppliers accounted for approximately 60.2% of the total purchase for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

The top three third-party suppliers accounted for 37.1% of the accounts payable as of June 30, 2011 and the top four third-party suppliers accounted for 55.9% of the accounts payable as of September 30, 2010.

(j) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 
9

 
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has two options for presenting its total comprehensive income: to present total comprehensive income and its components along with the components of net income in a single continuous statement, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Group intends to conform to the new presentation required in this ASU beginning with its Form 10-Q for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Except for the ASUs above, in the first nine months ended June 30, 2011, The FASB has issued ASU 2010-26 through ASU 2010-29 and ASU No. 2011-01 through ASU 2011-05, which are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3 - Earnings per Share

The Group reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share”.  ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings (loss) per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. This calculation is not done for periods in which a net loss was incurred as this would be anti-dilutive. The information related to basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Note 11 - Taxation

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

1) VAT

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

2) Income tax

United States

CPGI is incorporated in Delaware and is subject to U.S. federal income tax with a system of graduated tax rates ranging from 15% to 35%. As CPGI does not conduct any business in the US or Delaware, it is not subject to Delaware state corporate income tax or US federal income tax.

(c) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the tax bases used for income tax purpose.
 
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the deferred tax asset decreased by $717,760 to $64,595 compared with $782,355 as of September 30, 2010. The change in deferred tax asset was due to the allowance by Management’s prudent position in recognition of relevant deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011 since it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the significant deterioration of operations in this quarter mainly because of some regulation with negative impact implemented by the government.

Overview of our Business

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

We have developed over 70 different types of polypeptide-based nutritional products. Our key products include Polypeptide Protein Powder and Shenguo Polypeptide Capsules. Other functional polypeptide-based nutritional supplement products include lipid lowering soy peptide products. These products are manufactured using our proprietary processing methods.
 
Our products are primarily manufactured in our owned and operated production facilities located on 16,477 square meters of land in the Hannan Economic Development Zone in Wuhan, China. Some of our nutritional supplements and personal care products are manufactured for us through contractual relationships with other manufacturing companies, in accordance with our own proprietary formulations. Our products have been tested and approved by the relevant Chinese governmental hygiene and safety agencies, such as the local bureaus of Ministry of Health and the State Food and Drug Administration. Our research and development efforts, which encompass basic peptide research and anti-aging-focused applied research and related product development, are conducted in three research and development centers in Wuhan, China.

Our products are sold to customers through a combined network of sales personnel in our headquarters and through our wholesalers, distributors and private labeled partner.

We believe that we are one of the largest companies in China focusing on the development and production of functional peptide nutritional products, and that we are one of the few companies in our industry that offer competitive prices and high quality diversified nutritional products combined with excellent customer service.
 
Recent Developments
 
In September 2009, the PRC government published Draft Regulations regarding Supervision and Management of Health Food, or the Draft Regulations, which prohibits sales through meeting-based sales of health food. Although the Draft Regulations are still in the stage of discussion and other later issued related government directives relaxed the above prohibition, we believe that the final regulation will prohibit such sales. Our subsidiary, Hopsun, which contributed over 90% of our total sales revenue through its meeting-based sales network, conducts its sales through a self-owned meeting-based sales network.  We believe that once the regulation becomes effective, Hopsun’s business operations with regard to meeting-based sales would be prohibited by the regulation.
  
As a result of the above, the Company has restructured Hopsun and its sales branches to change its sales model from a self-owned meeting-based sales network to a centralized, third-party distributor network for our own branded consumer end products. Hopsun no longer sells products directly to consumers through its conduct of meetings, instead its sales are conducted through distributors at wholesale prices.  As a result of the restructuring, our revenues declined by 90.7% during the 2011 third quarter, as compared to the same period last year. However, management expects that this new centralized, third-party channel sales model will help to significantly decrease our selling and marketing expenses going forward, as we expect such expenses will be borne by the third party distributors.  In addition, management expects that revenue and profit generated through third party distributors will slowly increase and may reach the same level before the restructuring by the end of 2013. Nevertheless, we cannot ensure the result of the abovementioned restructuring will be as successful as management has projected.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $1,072,892, as compared to $11,560,788 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $10,487,896 or 90.7%.  The decrease is mainly attributable to the restructuring of Hopsun and its sales branches that commenced in late March, 2011. The restructuring was carried out to change our sales model from a self-owned meeting-based sales network to a centralized, third-party distributor network for our own branded consumer end products. Therefore, the revenues were declined significantly in 2011 as Hopsun was contributing the large percent of the Group sales. Management expects that this new centralized, third-party channel sales model will help to significantly decrease our selling and marketing expenses going forward, as we expect such expenses will be borne by the third party distributors.  While revenues will be temporarily impacted and may only gradually rebound in future periods, we expect to improve our operational efficiency and net profit in the near term.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $833,189, or approximately 77.7% of revenues, compared to $685,905, or approximately 5.9% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $147,284 or 21.5%.  The increase of cost of sales is mainly attributable to the increase of fixed cost such as depreciation expense, payroll and utility costs etc. Such costs, especially the depreciation expense increased in the three months ended June 30, 2010 mainly due to the completion of the construction of the new factory as of September 30, 2010, depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $394,400 and $86,428, respectively. The significant increase of the proportion of cost of sales to revenues is mainly attributable to the sharply decrease of Hopsun’s revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2011, which used to have much higher gross profit than that in the consolidated level.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $10,635,180, or -97.8%, to $239,703 from $10,874,883 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, with a gross margin of 22.3% and 94.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.  The decrease in gross profit is mainly due to the $10,487,896, or 90.7%, decrease in revenues and $147,284, or 21.5%, increase in cost of sales during the 2011 period. As the changing of sales model of Hopsun, the sales of our main products Protein Powder and Holy Fruit Capsule decreased significantly for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period 2010.  On the other hand, the cost of sales increased as the fix costs, such as water, electricity expenses, depreciation expense and employee salaries etc, increased compared to the same period 2010.
 
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $6,172,396, or approximately 575.3% of revenues, compared to $6,820,092, or approximately 59.0% of revenues, for the same period in 2010. There was a decrease of $647,696 or -9.5% in selling and administrative expenses while the proportion to revenues increased significantly from 59.0% to 575.3%. The change is mainly attributable to: a) the decrease in selling and administrative expenses mainly due to the decrease in promotional costs from approximately $5.6 million for three months ended June 30, 2010 to approximately $2.9 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $2.6million, as the sales of products decreased in this quarter as discussed above; b) the significant increase in the proportion to revenues is mainly attributable to the $10,487,896 decrease in revenues; and c) the bad debt for receivables for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $1 million  compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 as we provide additional bad debt provisions for Hopsun’s receivables after considering the long aging and the collectability of these accounts; and d) payroll for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $0.75 million, compared with the same period in 2010. Due to the restructuring of Hopsun and its sales model, the management decided to dismiss some employees, where the annual bonus were be paid in advance.  Therefore the payroll expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which will be temporarily impacted and we expect to improve our operational efficiency in the near term.

Operating (Loss) Income. An operating loss of $(5,932,693), or approximately -553.0% of revenues, was incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to an operating income of $4,054,791, or approximately 35.1% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $9,987,484 or 246.3%. The operating loss is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues and an increase in cost of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest (Expense) Income. Net interest income totaled $19,541 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net interest expense of $(27,904) for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $47,445 or 170.0%.

Equity Loss in Affiliates. Equity loss in affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $82, a decrease of $7,280, or -98.9%, as compared to equity loss in affiliates of $7,362 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is due to the decrease in the net loss of an affiliate company in which the Group has a 40% equity interest and uses the equity method to account for such an investment.

Other Income (Expense). Other income was $21,326 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to other expenses of $(30,300) for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $51,626. The change is mainly attributable to government subsidy income during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 
(Loss) Income before Income Tax Expense. Loss before income tax expense was $(5,891,908) or approximately -549.2% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to income before income tax expense of $3,989,225, or approximately 34.5% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $9,881,133, or -247.7%. The decrease in income before income tax expense is mainly attributable to the $10,487,896 decrease in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 
 
21

 
 
Income Tax Expense. According to the analysis and evaluation of the management, the group recognized a tax expenses amounted $1,471,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to income tax expense $906,963 for the three months ended June 30,2010, an increase of $564,586, or 62.3%. The increase is mainly attributable to the allowance of the management’s recognition of relevant deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011 since it is more likely that not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized (note 12).

Net (Loss) Income. Net loss was $(7,363,457), or approximately -686.3% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $3,082,262, or approximately 26.7% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $10,445,719, or -338.9%. The decrease in net income is mainly attributable to the $10,487,896 decrease in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that our revenues and net income will resume growth in future periods resulting from, among other factors, growing market demands for anti-aging nutritional supplements, health foods and functional food products, our increased sales and marketing efforts after the restructuring of our sales network, our newly added manufacturing capacity to meet such increasing demands, our expansion into other high margin peptide-based product categories, as well as the PRC government’s increasing emphasis on domestic consumption as a key area for future sustained economic growth.

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $8,860,455, as compared to $25,664,457 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $16,804,002 or 65.5%. The decrease is mainly attributable to the restructuring of Hopsun and its sales branches in late March 2011. The restructuring was carried out to change our sales model from a self-owned meeting-based sales network to a centralized, third-party distributor network for our own branded consumer end products. Therefore, the revenues were declined significantly in 2011 as Hopsun was contributing the large percent of the Group sales. Management expects that this new centralized, third-party channel sales model will help to significantly decrease our selling and marketing expenses going forward, as we expect such expenses will be borne by the third party distributors.  While revenues will be temporarily impacted and only gradually rebound in future periods, we expect to improve our operational efficiency and net profit in the near term.
 
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $2,240,152, or approximately 25.3% of revenues, compared to $1,782,788, or approximately 6.9% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $457,364 or 25.7%. The increase of cost of sales is mainly attributable to the increase of fixed cost such as depreciation expense, payroll and utility costs etc. Such costs, especially the depreciation expense increased in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 mainly due to the completion of the construction of the new factory as of September 30, 2010, depreciation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $939,835 and $285,871, respectively. The significant increase of the proportion of cost of sales to revenues is mainly attributable to the sharply decrease of Hopsun’s revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2011, which used to have much higher gross profit than that in the consolidated level.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $17,261,366, or -72.3%, to $6,620,303, from $23,881.669 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The respective gross margins are 74.7% and 93.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, with a 72.3% decrease.  The decrease in gross profit is mainly due to the $16,804,002, or -65.5%, decrease in revenues and $457,364, or 25.7%, increase in cost of sales. As the changing of sales model of Hopsun, the sales of our main products Protein Powder and Holy Fruit Capsule decreased significantly for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period 2010.  On the other hand, the cost of sales increased as the fix costs, such as water, electricity expenses, depreciation expense, employee salaries etc, increased compared to the same period 2010.
 
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $16,191,336, or approximately 182.7% of revenues, compared to $16,213,354, or approximately 63.2% of revenues, for the same period in 2010, and decrease of $22,018, or -0.1%. There was a decrease of $22,018 or -0.1% in selling and administrative expenses while the proportion to revenues increased significantly from 63.2% to 182.7%. The change is mainly attributable to: a) the decrease in selling and administrative expenses mainly due to the decrease in promotional costs from approximately $12.7 million for nine months ended June 30, 2010 to approximately $8.5 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $4.2 million, as the sales of products decreased in this quarter as discussed above; b) the significant increase in the proportion to revenues is mainly attributable to the $16,804,002 decrease in revenues; and c) the bad debt for receivables for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $2.3 million  compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as we provide additional bad debt provisions for Hopsun’s receivables after considering the long aging and the collectability of these accounts; and d) payroll for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $0.86 million, compared with the same period in 2010. Due to the restructuring of Hopsun and its sales model, the management decided to dismiss some employees, where the annual bonus were be paid in advance.  Therefore the payroll expense increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, which will be temporarily impacted and we expect to improve our operational efficiency in the near term.

Operating (Loss) Income. An operating loss of $(9,571,033), or approximately -108.0% of revenues, was incurred for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to an operating income of $7,668,315, or approximately 29.9% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $17,239,348, or -224.8%. The operating loss is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues and increase in costs of sales in the nine months ended June 31, 2011.

Interest (Expense) Income. Net interest income totaled $30,670 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net interest expense of $(63,968) for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $94,638, or 147.9%.

Equity Loss in Affiliates. Equity loss in affiliates for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $6,912, a decrease of $16,932, as compared to equity loss in affiliates of $23,853 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is due to the decrease in the net loss of an affiliate company in which the Group has a 40% equity interest and uses the equity method to account for such an investment.

Other Income. Other income was $111,136 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to other income of $10,653 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $121,789. The change is mainly attributable to government subsidy income during the nine months ended June 30, 2011.
 
(Loss) Income before Income Tax Expense. Loss before income tax expense was $(9,436,139), or approximately -106.5% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to income before income tax expense of $7,569,859, or approximately 29.5% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $17,005,998, or -224.7%. The decrease in income before income tax expense is mainly attributable to the $16,804,002 decrease in revenues and the $457,364 increase in costs of sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

Income tax expense. According to the analysis and evaluation of the management, the group recognized a tax expense amounted $724,030 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to income tax expense $1,379,311 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, decrease of $655,281, or -47.5%. The recognition of the tax expense is mainly due to the allowance of the management’s recognition of relevant deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011 since it is more likely that not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized (note 12).

Net (Loss) Income. Net loss was $(10,160,169), or approximately -114.7% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $6,190,548, or approximately 24.1% of revenues, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $16,350,717, or -264.1%.   The decrease in net income is mainly attributable to the decrease of $16,804,002 in revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that our revenues and net income will resume growth in future periods resulting from, among other factors, growing market demands for anti-aging nutritional supplements, health foods and functional food products, our increased sales and marketing efforts after the restructuring of our sales network, our newly added manufacturing capacity to meet such increasing demands, our expansion into other high margin peptide-based product categories, as well as the PRC government’s increasing emphasis on domestic consumption as a key area for future sustained economic growth.

The fluctuation  is mainly due to the decrease in proceeds from private placements where there were two equity investments with aggregate net proceeds of $6.36 million made by two institutional investors during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and the proceeds from private placement was $nil during the same period of 2011.

Loan Commitments
 
As of June 30, 2011, we had the following outstanding bank loans:
 
 
·  
We have an outstanding bank loan of RMB1,920,000 (approximately $297,000) from the Agriculture Bank of China, Wuhan Branch. This bank loan has been continuously extended from September 2003, the original maturity date.  The Company has been repaying the principal amount of this loan with payments of RMB 20,000 (approximately $3,000) per month at the request of the bank.  Interest accrues on a monthly basis at the rate of 5.84% per annum.

 
·  
We have an outstanding bank loan of RMB1,500,000 (approximately $232,000) from the Wuhan Finance Bureau. This loan has been continuously extended from November 2001, the original maturity date, and such loan will be repaid when the bank requests repayment.  Interest accrues on a monthly basis at the rate of 5.94% per annum.

 
·  
We have a loan facility agreement of RMB5,000,000 (approximately $759,000) with Wuhan Pan-Asia Peptide Material Research Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Pan-Asia”), an unrelated third party. Under such agreement, Wuhan Pan-Asia lends to the Company, when needed, funds borrowed from Wuhan Rural Commercial Bank for RMB3,400,000 (approximately 516,000) of which, ,  the Company has pledged an office building as collateral.  Interest on the loan is paid by the Company monthly at the rate of 0.566%. As of March 31, 2011, the balance due to Wuhan Pan-Asia was nil.

 
·  
We have an outstanding bank loan of RMB10, 000,000 (approximately $1,547,000) from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. Interest accrues on a monthly basis at the rate of 6.31% per annum and will be repaid in a quarterly basis.
 
We believe that we will require additional capital to finance any future manufacturing expansion, market channel expansion, changes in our business plan or other future capital intensive developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. To the extent it becomes necessary to raise additional capital, we may seek to raise it through the sale of debt and/or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, institutional debt financing or loans, or a combination of the foregoing. Other than as described above, we currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. If we decide to pursue any of the above projects, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to implement such project now or in the future, or if we do, the terms thereof.
We believe that our currently available funds, funds from operations and available financing is sufficient for us to continue our operations as presently conducted for at least the next twelve (12) months.

Obligations Under Material Contracts

In addition to the loan agreements disclosed above, we have made a capital commitment of $15,473 for the regional customer health center in Guangdong province, China as of June 30, 2011.
 
We have no other long term debt, capital or operating lease or fixed purchase obligations under material contracts.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than with respect to our pledge of an office building owned by us in connection with the Wuhan Pan-Asia loan as described above, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
 
Seasonality
 
In recent years, our revenues for the second and forth quarters in each fiscal year have been higher than revenues for the first and third fiscal quarters.  We believe that this is partially due to a number of major domestic festivals and holiday celebrations that occur in China around January and September, such as the Chinese New Year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial condition and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management.  Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions.  There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Mr. Dongliang Chen, our Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Lirong Hu, our interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011.  Based on that evaluation, Mr. Chen and Ms. Hu concluded that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, which we are still in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 for the description of these weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
 
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, the management concluded that: (1) we lacked qualified resources to perform our internal audit functions properly and that we have not yet fully developed the scope and effectiveness of our internal audit function; (2) we lacked an audit committee within our board to oversee the financial reporting pursuant to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations; and (3) our accounting staff lacked sufficient accounting skills and experience necessary to fulfill our public reporting obligations according to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations.
 
Our management is in the process of implementing remediation procedures to improve internal controls over financial reporting. We have already taken measures to remediate these material weaknesses by seeking additional financial reporting and accounting staff members with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules.   We are also in the process of implementing a rigorous process for collecting and reviewing information required for the preparation of the financial statements to meet our public accounting obligations according to U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules and regulations with the support from the board and additional personnel experienced in U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s rules to be hired.

We have also engaged a professional consulting firm experienced in handling compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to internal control over financial reporting in order to assist us with improving our internal controls and meet the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the meantime, we have been searching and negotiating with several qualified candidates to serve as the audit committee members so as to establish an audit committee within the Board of Directors.

We are also in the process of establishing an internal audit function and will continue to hire more experienced personnel with expertise in U.S. public company financial reporting.
 
 
27

 
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

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

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