SHENGTAI PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Organization principal activities

Shengtai Pharmaceutical, Inc, the "Company,” was incorporated in March 2004 in the State of Delaware. The Company, through its subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes glucose and starch as pharmaceutical raw materials, other starch products and other glucose products such as corn meals, food and beverage glucose and dextrin. The Company's business operations are conducted in the People's Republic of China, the "PRC.”

Note 2 – Accounting policies

Accounting principles

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K filed on October 7, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Shengtai Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its subsidiaries reflect the activities of the parent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Shengtai Holding, Inc., “SHI,” and Weifang Shengtai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., “Weifang Shengtai.” All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain reclassification has been made to the previous year’s financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued a deferral of certain portion of this guidance.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Note 3 – Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

The components of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share consisted of the following:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2011			2010

Net (loss) income for earnings per share	$	(65,062	)	$	2,696,468
Weighted average shares used in basic and diluted computation		9,584,912			9,584,912
(Loss) earnings per share, basic and diluted:	$	(0.01	)	$	0.28

	Six months ended December 31,
	2011		2010
Net income for earnings per share	$	818,495	$	4,339,552
Weighted average shares used in basic and diluted computation		9,584,912		9,584,912
Earnings per share, basic and diluted:	$	0.09	$	0.45

The Company’s warrants and stock options were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 4 - Concentrations of risk

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

The cash deposits in U.S. financial institutions exceed the amounts insured by the U.S. government. Balances at financial institutions or state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. Non-performance by these institutions could expose the Company to losses for amounts in excess of insured balances. At December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company’s bank balances with the banks and cash in hand in PRC amounted to $6,170,755 and $ 13,017,076, respectively, which are uninsured and subject to credit risk. The Company has not experienced nonperformance by these institutions.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no customers that individually comprised 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues.

The Company has one vendor, Dezhou No.5 Grain and Cooking Oil Warehouse that individually comprised 10% or more of the Company’s total purchase for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

There was no one vendor that individually comprised 10% or more of the Company’s total purchase for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

There was no one vendor that individually comprised 10% or more of the Company’s total purchase for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010.

For export sales, the Company frequently requires significant down payments or letter of credit from its customers prior to shipment. During the year, the Company maintained export credit insurance to protect the Company against the risk that the overseas customers may default on settlement.

The following table summarizes financial information for Company’s revenues based on geographic area:

	Three months ended
	December 31
	2011		2010

Note 12 - Intangible assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following:

	December 31, 2011			June 30, 2011
Land use rights	$	3,688,288		$	3,625,020
Less: accumulated amortization		(414,328	)		(378,696	)
Land use rights, net		3,273,961			3,246,324

Software		10,819			8,181
Less: accumulated amortization		(3,980	)		(3,291	)
Software, net		6,839			4,890
Total intangible assets, net	$	3,280,799		$	3,251,214

Intangible assets are primarily comprised of land use rights, which are pledged as collateral for certain bank loans. The Chinese government owns all land in the PRC. However, the government grants "land use rights" for terms ranging from 20 to 50 years. The Company amortizes the cost of land use rights over the usage terms using the straight-line method.

Intangible assets are reviewed at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2011, the Company determined that there had been no impairment. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense for these intangible assets are amounted to $14,852 and $14,205, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense for these intangible assets are amounted to $29,541 and $27,949, respectively.

The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments under the guarantee is $8.29 million for those guarantee companies, including accrued interest. However, the guarantees given by the Company have been fully secured by their CEO’s personal assets. The Company has not recorded a liability for the guarantee because management estimates that those companies are current in their payment obligations, and the likelihood of the Company having to make payments under the guarantee is remote.

Note 19 - Stockholders’ equity

On November 9, 2010, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; reducing the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock by the same reverse stock split ratio. The reverse stock split and the reduction of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock were authorized by the stockholders of the Company at its annual general meeting of stockholders held on October 26, 2010. As of November 12, 2010, the outstanding and issued shares were approximately 9,584,912 shares (prior to the reverse stock split, the number outstanding was 19,169,805), before rounding up fractional shares. The authorized number of shares of Common Stock was reduced from 100,000,000 to 50,000,000, and the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock was reduced from 5,000,000 to 2,500,000. These financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

In connection with the 1-for-2 reverse stock split, all outstanding warrants and options will have 1-for-2 reverse split with the exercise price doubled.

Warrants

On May 15, 2007, in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 2,187,500 warrants, "Investor Warrants,” which carry an exercise price of $5.20 and a 5-year term. The Investor Warrants are callable if the Company's shares trade at or above $16.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days and underlying shares are registered for resale. The Investor Warrants contain standard adjustment provisions upon stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, and a change of control transaction. During the year ended June 30, 2008, a total of 97,403 warrants were exercised by three stockholders.

Also in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 109,375 warrants, "Placement Agent Warrants,” to Brill Securities, the Placement Agent. These Placement Agent Warrants have the same terms as the Investor Warrants. These warrants were issued on August 8, 2007.

Concurrent with the offering related to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 37,500 warrants to Chinamerica Fund, LLP and 12,500 warrants to Jeff Jenson, collectively, the "Lead Investor Warrants,” to compensate Chinamerica Fund LLP as the lead investor and Jeff Jenson in assisting in providing the shell company, West Coast Car Company. These Lead Investor Warrants have the same terms as the Investor Warrants except that they have an exercise price of $0.02 per share. In June 2008, Jeff Jenson exercised the 12,500 warrants issued to him. In November 2008, Chinamerica Fund, LLP exercised the 37,500 warrants issued to the fund.

All Investor Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants and Lead Investor Warrants meet the conditions for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815 (formerly SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivatives") and ASC 815 (formerly EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock"). Therefore, these warrants were classified as equity and accounted for as common stock issuance cost.

	Warrants Outstanding		Warrants Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Life

Stock options

On January 4, 2008, the Company adopted the "Shengtai Pharmaceutical, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan,” the "Stock Incentive Plan.” The Company believes that awards under the Stock Incentive Plan better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant.

On May 14, 2008, the Company granted 250,000 stock options and 80,000 non-qualified stock options pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. All options have an exercise price of $6.68, which was the closing price on the date of grant, and expire five years after the date of grant. All options vest over a period of three years on a quarterly basis from the date of grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables, including the expected life of options granted and the Company's expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company's employee stock options, it is management's opinion that the Black-Scholes option valuation model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options and that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options granted in 2008 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

Weighted average risk-free interest rate		3.22	%

Expected term		4 years

Expected volatility		146	%

Expected dividend yield		0	%

Weighted average grant-date fair value per option	$	6.68

The volatility of the Company's common stock was estimated by management based on the historical volatility; the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the estimated life of the options; and the expected dividend yield was based on the current and expected dividend policy. The fair value of the options was based on the Company's common stock price on the date the options were granted. Because the Company does not have sufficient applicable history of employee stock options activity, the Company uses the simplified method to estimate the life of the options by taking the sum of the vesting period and the contractual life and then calculating the midpoint, which is the estimated term of the options.

On June 1, 2010, the Company hired two directors, Mr. Yaojun Liu and Mr. Fei He. In the Employment Agreements entered into on June 1, 2010 between the Company and each director, the Company granted each director an option to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares vest over 3 years annually starting June 1, 2010 and terminate on the third anniversary of the date of issuance of this option. The Company valued the shares at $5.20 per share. The fair values of stock options granted to the two directors were estimated at the date of grant amounting $ 165,611 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Weighted average risk-free interest rate		2.79	%

Expected term		3 years

Expected volatility		133	%

Expected dividend yield		0	%

Weighted average grant-date fair value per option	$	3.00

The stock option activity was as follows for the year ended June 30, 2011 and six months ended December 31, 2011:

	Options outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, June 30, 2010		342,500		$	5.95		$

Granted		80,000			5.20		160,000

Forfeited		(167,500	)		5.35		-

Exercised		-			-		-

Outstanding, June 30, 2011		255,000			5.95		1,274,500

Granted		-			-		-

Forfeited		(40,000	)		5.20		-

Exercised		-			-		-

Outstanding, December 31, 2011		215,000		$	6.40	$	1,174,400

Following is a summary of the status of options outstanding at December 31, 2011:

	Average Exercise Price				Outstanding Options				Average Remaining Contractual Life				Average Exercise Price				Exercisable Options
	$	6.40				215,000				6.47			$	6.58				188,333

Compensation expense from stock options recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 were $0 and $0, respectively. Compensation expense from stock options recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 were $83,304 and $183,480, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there is $18,401 estimated expense with respect to unvested stock-based awards yet to be recognized as an expense over the employee's remaining weighted average service period.

Note 20 - Statutory reserves

The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise distributes profits to its partners, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, after the statutory reserves. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund, and the enterprise fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings.

Surplus reserve fund

The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC’s accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to stockholders. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company transferred $(4,824) and $457,319 to this reserve. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company transferred $115,341 and $457,319 to this reserve. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing stockholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company is to appropriate 10% of its net profits as statutory surplus reserve up to $7,500,000. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had appropriated to the statutory reserve approximately $4,200,000.

Enterprise fund

Regulations in the PRC require the Company to contribute to a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of all permanent employees. The Company is required to make contributions to the state retirement plan at 15% to 20% of the monthly base salaries of all current permanent employees. The PRC government is responsible for the administration and benefit liability to retired employees.

The Company’s cornstarch production facility has a maximum capacity of 400,000 tons per year. The facility allows us to use self-produced cornstarch to produce glucose and to be able to ensure the adequacy and quality of the cornstarch we use. Since cornstarch is produced on our premises, we are able to eliminate costs to ship the cornstarch to our glucose production facility, thus resulting in lower manufacturing costs.

We have been improving dextrose anhydrous and animal feeds production lines and building an additional warehouse to store purchased corn. The warehouse was completed in October 2011 and can be used to store an additional 14,000 tons of corn. As a result, we have successfully expanded our corn storage from 36,000 tons to 50,000 tons from October 2010 to October 2011. Because corn prices have been increasing since 2009, the expansion of our warehousing capacity will allow us to store more corn and better control the cost of production.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we used internally 77,001 metric tons of corn starch to satisfy our own glucose production needs. The excess cornstarch was or will be sold to outside customers in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage and other industries. Cornstarch sales amounted to $21.53 million and accounted for 25.94% of our total net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Our business may be severely affected by movements in the commodity markets. Corn is the principal raw material for our cornstarch and the price of cornstarch as a commodity tends to follow the price of corn. Beginning September 2008, corn prices began decreasing due to large corn harvests. However, by July 2009, corn prices began to increase. This trend continued into fiscal year 2012. Corn prices for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately 13.21% higher than the same period in 2010. Corn prices for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately 17.14% higher than for the same period in 2010. While it is hard to accurately predict the trend of corn prices, we remain focused on improving our pricing ability and maintaining a stable profit.

The Chinese government has been improving its effort in controlling corn prices. We believe that these government efforts will continue to have mixed effects on our operations. Stable corn prices will help maintain the availability of raw materials and tend to stabilize our gross profit margin over time, although market and economic conditions may have negative effects on our operations.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we sold a total of 67,234 metric tons of glucose, and our sales of pharmaceutical grade glucose and other glucose products were $39.10 million, or 47.12%of our net sales. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we sold a total of 36,492 metric tons of glucose, and our sales of pharmaceutical grade glucose and other glucose products were $21.24 million, or 49.48% of our net sales.

In addition to our pharmaceutical glucose and cornstarch products, we also produce other products such as dextrin, corn embryo, fibers, and protein power, which are used for pharmaceutical, food and beverages, and other production purposes. The net sales generated from these products were $11.74 and $22.36 million, and constituted approximately 27.34% and 26.94% of our total net sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011,respectively.

We believe that production capacity and product quality are key factors in maintaining and improving our competitive position and enhancing our long-term competitiveness. As a result, we emphasize (i) product quality control, (ii) enhancement of operating efficiency and employee competence, (iii) expansion of geographical coverage and diversification of customer base and (iv) expansion of our production capacity utilization.

We have a three-tier quality control system and a well-equipped quality inspection center to ensure timely detection and reprocessing of non-conforming products.

Our glucose production facility passed GMP inspection and our facilities and many of our products are fully certified for GMP, ISO9001,ISO22000 and HACCP international quality standards and globally certified Halal, Kosher and NON-GMO IP.

Our sales network presently covers almost all provinces of Mainland China except the Tibet Autonomous Region.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, we exported products to around 43 countries, with the Netherlands, Korea and Thailand, being the leading purchasers. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, our international sales comprised approximately 18.19% of our total net sales. During the same period in 2010, our international sales comprised approximately 16.96% of our total net sales. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our international sales comprised approximately 17.50% of our total net sales. During the same period in 2010, our international sales comprised approximately 16.74% of our total net sales. Glucose, cornstarch, and other products occupies 50.09%, 0.00%, and 49.91% of the total exporting sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. Glucose, cornstarch, and other products occupies 41.95%, 0.24%, and 57.81% of the total exporting sales for the six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. Glucose, cornstarch, and other products occupies 75.58%, 0.19%, and 24.23% of the total exporting sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. Glucose, cornstarch, and other products occupies 71.88%, 0.11%, and 28.01% of the total exporting sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

Our target customers are drug makers, medical supply companies, medical supply exporters and food and beverage companies. We constantly strive to broaden and diversify our customer base. We believe that a broader customer base will mitigate our reliance on certain major customers. We believe that a broader market for our products can increase demand for our products, reduce our vulnerability to market changes and provide additional areas of growth in the future. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, our top ten customers accounted for 35.29% of our total net sales.For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our top ten customers accounted for 36.26% of our total net sales.

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $42,933,425, a decrease of $6,111,431 or 12.46%, compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease in net sales primarily resulted from decreased sales quantities for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year, the quantity of our glucose products sold decreased about 10.58%, while the average unit selling price of our glucose products increased about 11.91%. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year, the quantity of our cornstarch products sold decreased about 47.03%, while the average unit selling price of our cornstarch products increased about 10.45%. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year, the quantity of our other products sold decreased about 15.62%, while the average unit selling price of our other products increased about 5.44%. The increased unit selling prices are caused by the increased raw material cost during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year. The sales quantity decreased mainly because the Company tried to maintain a certain gross profit while the corn prices increased.

Net sales from exports for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased approximately 8.48% compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased sales quantities offset by the increased unit sales ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year. The increased unit price is related to the increased corn prices. The sales quantity decreased mainly because the Company tried to maintain a certain gross profit while the corn prices increased.

Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $38,892,394, an decrease of $4,252,912 or 9.86%, compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease in cost of sales was mainly due to the decrease of sales offset by the increase in the price of corn, our main raw material.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $4,041,031, a decrease of $1,858,519 or 31.50%, compared with the same period in 2010. The decrease of gross profit is mainly because the unit selling prices of our products did not increase as fast as the corn prices. Gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 9.41%, a decrease from 12.03% for the same period in 2010. The reason for the decrease of gross profit margin is mainly because the price of corn, our main raw material, increased approximately 17.71% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year whereas the average selling prices did not increase as much. The Company believes that the market is taking its time to respond to the increased corn prices and will reach a more profitable price level in the near future. At the same time, the Company believes that the Company’s actions to improve gross profit margin, such as expanding raw material storage facilities to reduce the impact of fluctuation on the price of our raw materials, will benefit us in maintaining our profitability.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,026,462, an increase of $923,072 or 43.88%, compared to $2,103,390 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The selling, general, and administrative expenses increased mainly due to increased shipping expenses caused by increased gas prices. The Company incurred $0 and $83,304 non-cash stock option expenses for the three months ended December 31,2011 and 2010, respectively. The option expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $9,539,722, an increase of 286.31%, or $14,659,937, compared with $5,120,215 provided by operating activities for the same period in 2010. The reasons for increased cash used in operating activities include less net income generated due to decreased gross profit caused by increased corn prices, more fulfillment for customer deposit, and more payments made to accounts payable, offset by more advances to employees for corn purchases to lock in lower corn prices, more accounts receivable collection, and storage of more corns.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $6,051, an increase of 100.10%, or $6,085,017, compared with $6,078,966 used in investing activities for the same period in 2010. The increase is due to less investment in progressing construction and an increase in equity investment during the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $9,782,506, an increase of 240.57%, or $6,910,082, compared with $2,872,424 provided by financing activities for the same period in 2010. The increase is due to more borrowing from short term loans during the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year.

Loans

Other than the equity financing in 2008, our PRC operating subsidiary, WeifangShengtai financed its operations and capital expenditure requirements primarily through bank loans and operating income. WeifangShengtai had a total of $62,947,502 and $48,094,740 short term bank loans outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The loans were secured by WeifangShengtai’s properties and accounts receivable. The terms of all these short term loans were all for one year. WeifangShengtai has never defaulted on any loans. In addition, Weifang Shengtai had $277,339 and $11,447,800 in short-term notes due to the banks as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. These notes were due within one year and secured by 50% to 100% of the loan amount in restricted cash. Some were guaranteed by unrelated third parties.

WeifangShengtai does not have any long term loans from local banks. The outstanding long-term loans, or the non-current portion of payables, and the non-current portion of capital lease obligation, which can be classified as long term liabilities, were $0 and $0, as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Guarantees

We have guaranteed certain borrowings of other unrelated third parties including short term bank loans, lines of credit and bank notes. The total guaranteed amounts were $7,870,000, and $7,735,000 as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. Some unrelated third parties have guaranteed approximately $11,332,800 and $11,138,400 of our debt, as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Future Cash Commitments and Needs

The Company estimates the need for capital to run new production facilities. The exact amount will be determined based on both the market demand for the Company’s products and the time needed for these facilities to run at full capacity. The Company will carefully review its financial condition and consider financing with internally generated cash, bank loans or additional equity. The Company expects that its proceeds from operating cash flows and its cash balances, together with amounts available under its loans, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have disclosed in the notes to our financial statements those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and our financial position which are incorporated by reference herein. The following reflects the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered, title has passed, pricing is fixed, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”), and estimated returns of product from customers. Most of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a VAT rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished products and certain freight expenses. We allow our customers to return products only if our product is later determined by us to be ineffective. Based on our historical experience over the past six years, product returns have been insignificant throughout all of our product lines. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. Sales returns are taken against revenue when products are returned from customers. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers.

Use of estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts receivable

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to its customers without requiring collateral or other security interests. Management reviews its accounts receivable at each reporting period to provide for an allowance against accounts receivable for an amount that could become uncollectible. This review process may involve the identification of payment problems with specific customers. The Company estimates this allowance based on the aging of the accounts receivable, historical collection experience, and other relevant factors, such as changes in the economy and the imposition of regulatory requirements that can have an impact on the industry. These factors continuously change, and can have an impact on collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material.

Certain accounts receivable amounts are charged off against allowances after designated periods of collection. Subsequent cash recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, with a 3% residual value, over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Foreign currency translation

Our functional currency is Renminbi,(“RMB”) Foreign currency transactions are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period.

Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2012 and will have financial statement presentation changes only.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Mr. Qingtai Liu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Yongqiang Wang, the Company’s current financial controller, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”). Based on that evaluation which, among other things, identified personnel turnover in the areas concerned, mainly referring to our chief financial officer’s resignations during the last two years, the Company’s officers concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and were not adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Notwithstanding the existence of such material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management is committed to remediating the material weakness as quickly as possible. Additionally, and in recognition of immediate financial reporting needs, the Company intends to implement additional controls and procedures during the current fiscal year to continue to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting objectives. Such additional controls and procedures may include: the retention of a U.S. based CPA as Chief Financial Officer with U.S. GAAP experience and appropriate knowledge of internal controls over financial reporting, for purposes of appropriate oversight of the financial reporting process and continued training of the accounting staff; recruitment of additional personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP experience to enhance our financial reporting and internal control function; and retention of the services of a consultant for advisory services with respect to SOX 404 compliance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, there has been no material change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
