Mr. Wu Qiyou, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, “We are pleased with our financial results for the first nine months of 2011 as they have provide a positive trend related to our gross margin improvement. During the nine month period, we experienced a 57.3% increase in revenue of our higher margin Breeding Unit to $12.2 million from $7.7 million in the comparable period in 2010. This portion of our business accounted for 52.4% of total revenue during the 2011 period as compared to 25.1% in 2010. Thus far in 2011, the average price for ducklings in China has improved to $0.86 as compared to $0.60 over the same period in 2010. We foresee market pricing to stabilize in the near term and remain at a financially beneficial level for us to continue operating as we have for the past few quarters of streamlining higher revenue from our Breeding Unit. Our third quarter and year to date results in 2011 include non-cash bad debt reserve charges of $1.2 million charged against certain accounts receivable, loans receivable, supplier prepayments, and sale price receivable from the 2010 sale of our fertilizer plant, which contributed to last year’s revenue and net income results. We are pleased to report that we have increased our shareholder’s equity from $2.52 per share to $2.70 per share, despite the material reserves taken in the third quarter of 2011.”

Breeding Unit sales increased during the 2011 nine month period primarily as a result of higher demand and market prices for ducklings in China. During the 2011 nine month period ducklings had an average price of $0.86 as compared to $0.60 for the same period in 2010. Average sales price for grown commercial processing ducks was approximately $1.15 per kilogram during the 2011 nine month period as compared to $0.94 per kilogram for the same period in 2010. As a result of the increased revenue from the higher margin Breeding Unit during the 2011 nine month period, consolidated revenue decreased, but gross profit increased $339,000, or 5.5%.
Feed Unit revenue during the first nine months of 2011 totaled $4.3 million through the sale of feed products to one distributor. The Company will continue to market its feed products to external customers, primarily through feed distributors, however, because distribution of these products is currently concentrated in one distributor sales will remain unpredictable.
Food Unit revenue was down for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the first nine months of 2010 as a result of higher market prices for ducklings, which resulted in ducklings being sold to the market rather than being used internally for Food Unit products. When market prices of ducks are high, on a consolidated basis, the Company can make higher profits by selling ducks into the market rather than processing them into food products, which have a more stable market price, and thus will yield lower margins when the input costs increase.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 totaled $16.7 million, a decrease of 32% as compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 2010. Gross profit for the 2011 nine month period increased 5.5% to $6.5 million compared to $6.2 million in 2010. Gross profit margins increased to 27.9% in 2011 as compared to 20% in 2010. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increased sales prices of duck and the relatively smaller increase in the cost of grains and other materials used to raise ducks. As a result, margins on duck sales increased from 22% in the 2010 nine month period to 40% in the 2011 nine month period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company realized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments as a result of the warrants issued in the financing transactions completed in November 2010 and March 2011. The warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value and changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each period. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a gain in the amount of $473,272. The decrease in fair value of the liability and corresponding gain is primarily the result of a decrease in our underlying stock price from $2.50 at December 31, 2010 to $2.00 at September 30, 2011.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $196,000 and $1.8 million, respectively. The substantially larger gain in 2010 was resulted from one-time gains from the sale of our fertilizer plant and collection of a previously written-off account in 2010.
The Company recognized income tax expense amounting to $557,000 and $267,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The expense is higher in 2011 because, prior to May 2010, we were not subject to income tax expense as a producer of unprocessed agricultural goods. Beginning in May 2010 with our corporate offshore restructuring, profits earned in China are payable in the form of management fees to one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which fees are subject to income tax.
Net income for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 totaled $1.7 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted earnings per share, based on 10.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, as compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.67 per basic and diluted share, based on 6.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the same period in 2010. The lower income in 2011 was the result of (i) reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts recorded against accounts receivable, loans receivable, prepayments, and sale price receivable in the amount of $1,245,233 in 2011, (ii) higher other income of $1,581,676 in 2010 relating primarily to a gain on the sale of Taiyang’s fertilizer plant and the collection of a previously written off account receivable, (iii) increased wage and overhead costs associated with being public in 2011 of $810,496, and (iv) higher income tax expense of $585,898 in 2011 as a result of our contractual arrangements that came into effect in May 2010. These amounts were offset by (i) a gain on the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the amount of $473,272 in 2011, (ii) lower interest expense of $419,981 in 2011, and (iii) increased gross profit of $339,009 in 2011, resulting primarily from the Breeding Unit as margins improved due to higher market prices for ducks. Exclusive of certain one-time items, adjusted income for the nine month period in 2011 was $2.5 million (non-GAAP), as compared to adjusted income of $2.6 million (non-GAAP) in the nine month period in 2010 (see reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results at the end of this release).
Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2011
Revenue for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 totaled $7.2 million as compared to $11.1 million for the third quarter ending September 30, 2010. During the 2011 third quarter, Breeding Unit revenue totaled $3.5 million as compared to $4.1 million for the same period the year prior. Feed Unit and Food Unit revenue totaled $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Cost of goods sold for the 2011 third quarter totaled $5.3 million, a decrease of 37.2% as compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2010. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2011 totaled $1.9 million compared to $2.7 million in 2010. Gross profit margins increased to 26.4% in 2011 as compared to 24.5% in 2010. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increased sales prices of duck and the relatively smaller increase in the cost of grains and other materials used to raise ducks. As a result, margins on duck sales increased from 28% in the 2010 third quarter to 39% in the 2011 third quarter.
Net loss for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 totaled $322,000 as compared to net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2010. (i) reserves for estimated uncollectible accounts recorded against accounts receivable, loans receivable, prepayments, and sale price receivable in the amount of $1,119,121 in 2011, (ii) lower gross profit of $833,894 resulting from lower sales in 2011, and (iii) increased professional services, wage and overhead costs associated with being public in 2011 of $466,494. These amounts were offset by (i) lower interest expense of $215,827 in 2011, (ii) lower business tax of $117,279 in 2011, and (iii) a gain on the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the amount of $37,372 in 2011.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of adjusted net income. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Anhui Poultry believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as our management and to facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or net income per diluted prepared in accordance with GAAP. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has included a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
