Business 

 

Company Background

GELT was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2010. GELT’s primary business involved the sourcing of production and other services in the Far East, and specifically China. In particular, GELT matched factories in China with western companies that were looking to manufacture goods in China. This line of business included sourcing for existing and new products and supplies, sourcing for high or low volume production, product development to assist with local design companies, process and manufacturing development in China, quality control, facilitating and coordinating visits by buyers’ representatives to China, negotiating the best prices from reputed suppliers, providing production updates to buyers and arranging shipments and timely deliveries. GELT also planned to develop a second business line that would focus on promoting yoga accessories by selling its products via the “e-promotional” gift industry market in the United States, initially by the sale of yoga mats to corporations as part of their gift promotions to their employees, customers, and clients. GELT never generated any revenues from this second business line.

 

References to “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us,” include our operating subsidiaries in the PRC, Xingguo General Fruit Industry Development Co., Ltd. (“General Fruit”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Xingguo General Red Navel Orange Preservation Company Ltd. (“General Preservation”).

 

Our Current Business and Products

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, we operate our business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, General Fruit, located in the Jiangxi Province of the PRC. We are one of the leading companies engaged in the planting, post-harvest processing and temperature controlled preservation and storage of organic navel oranges. We contract with approximately 30 farmers to plant and harvest oranges in our orchards and provide them with not only the raw materials necessary to plant, but also technical guidance and services to monitor quality of the crops. When navel oranges are harvested, we preserve, store and subsequently sell them throughout many regions in the PRC. Although our business operations primarily consist of the above described partnerships with local farmers, we also purchase oranges from farmers and cooperatives who do not use our land. The oranges purchased from other farmers and cooperatives are not planted and harvested as organic navel oranges. However, once purchased we commercially process and preserve them according to the standards of organic navel oranges. All of the navel oranges we sell use the “General Red” brand name. We have received numerous honors and certifications because of the high quality of our branded navel oranges.

 

Our goal is to become the largest integrated grower, packager and distributor of organic navel oranges in China. We have invested in our business by devoting resources to the establishment of significant orange groves, by building a state of the art storage and preservation facility and by marketing and advertising our products. Currently, we have planted 515,843 orange trees in two orchards totaling 16,927 mu of land (approximately 2,788.5 acres). We lease 10,000 mu of the land (approximately 1,647.5 acres) from the local government, and developed our own orange groves on that land. In addition, we lease from individual farmers 7,326.5 mu of orange groves (approximately 1,206.9 acres).

We utilize a "company + farmers" model for our production of organic navel oranges. We allow the farmers to use our orchards, and provide them with raw materials, such as seedlings and fertilizer, as well as production tools, electricity and irrigation facilities necessary for planting and harvesting the oranges. Our in-house fruit forest management and protection team provide technical support and guidance to the farmers to optimize cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, water and soil conservation, administration of pesticides for weed and pest control, and protection against frost and rain. We instruct farmers on how to implement these quality control measures, so that the oranges are of the highest quality. Prior to the growing season, the farmers enter into short-term sales contracts with us, which provide that we will purchase a specified quantity of oranges from the farmers, based on weight, at a specified purchase price. We divide the production yield with farmers, so that 60% of all product is for us, and 40% is for the farmers. These contracts further provide that we are only obligated to purchase those oranges that meet our quality specifications. We believe that this is an attractive model for farmers, as it allows them to bypass the logistics and added costs of going through wholesale or retail markets to sell their oranges. This model is also beneficial to us because we have an ongoing supply of oranges, which we know are grown according to our specifications enabling us to consistently maintain our high level of quality.

 

In Ganzhou, Jiangxi, we constructed one of the largest navel orange temperature-controlled preservation facilities in the Southern Jiangxi region of China on 39,171 square meters of land (approximately 9.68 acres), of which 11,131 square meters (approximately 2.75 acres) is the construction area of the main structure for the preservation facility. We have approximately 4,346 square meters of administrative offices, dormitories and power supply rooms next to the facility. The maximum storage capacity is 7,000 tons and maximum capacity is 10,000 tons. Currently, most of the navel orange storage facilities in the Southern Jiangxi region are cold storage, with few that are temperature controlled facilities. The temperature-controlled storage and preservation technology used in our facility comes from Beijing Furui Ventilation Protection Company (“Beijing Furui”), which was previously a subsidiary of China Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Beijing Furui was the construction contractor in the design and build of our temperature-controlled preservation facility, and provided the main equipment used in the facility. We purchased our post-harvest processing equipment, which includes our selection and packaging lines, from MAF RODA Group of Spain (“MAF RODA”). As part of the purchasing contract MAF RODA provides us with technical training on how to operate the equipment, which includes educating our employees about the automatic control technology used in the equipment. We have two modern sorting lines at our Ganzhou facility. The sorting line has a sorting capacity of 40 tons/hour. These sorting lines clean, disinfect and apply wax coating to the oranges, and then select, classify, and send the naval oranges to pre-storage.

 

 

Industry and Market Overview

 

There are three primary areas of business operations in the navel orange industry: production, post-harvest processing and preservation.

 

Navel Orange Production

 

The navel orange industry has been growing rapidly in China due to governmental support and an increase in demand for navel oranges. Planting areas and the production of navel oranges in China have steadily increased since the 1980’s. Navel orange production requires stringent climate conditions, therefore, there are limited areas in the world where navel oranges can be produced and, as a result, production is primarily concentrated in warmer climates, such as California, Spain, South Africa, Australia, and “Gannan – Southern Hunan – Northern Guangxi” in China. The Chinese government has identified the Gannan area as "the hometown of the navel orange in China", and has been willing to provide intensive support to local producers. The Ministry of Agriculture named Gannan navel oranges as one of the nine competitive agricultural products in the country, and listed Gannan as one of the key developing areas. The Ministry planned to reach 5 million mu (1 mu = 1/15 hectare) of planting area and yield 5.5 million tons of navel oranges in Gannan – Southern Hunan – Northern Guangxi by 2012. Gannan planted 1.76 million mu and produced 1.22 million tons of navel oranges in 2010. It has been estimated that the planting area in 2011 was 1.81 million mu, with a production yield of 1.4 million tons. Gannan has ranked first worldwide by navel orange planting and ranked third worldwide by annual output, according to China Industrial Economy News.

General Fruit is one of six leading enterprises in Gannan and plays a decisive role in Gannan’s navel orange industry. “Ganan Navel Orange” is the common brand shared by all producers in Gannan area. Thanks to its superior quality and effective brand strategy, “General Red” stands out among all of the Gannan brands and has become one of the most influential brands in China. General Fruit has become a leader in producing organic navel oranges, with a planting area in Gannan of 38.5% of all such organic navel orange planting areas in Southern Jiangxi.

 

We anticipate that the demand for navel oranges will continue to increase. In 2008 per capita fruit consumption was 61.4 kg worldwide, 83.3 kg in developed countries, 55.4 kg in developing countries, and 45.6 kg in China. Compared with 63% in other countries and over 80% in Brazil and the US, orange production accounts for only about 17% of citrus production in China, among which navel orange production accounts for less than 10%. Approximately 98% of navel oranges produced in China are sold in the domestic market, with only 2% exported to other countries. More than 95% of citrus fresh fruit is sold domestically in China, with less than 5% of such fruit exported. A large portion of raw materials for orange juice is imported from Brazil and the US. We believe that such data indicates there is a significant room for growth in this industry in China.

 

Post-harvest processing

 

The post-harvest processing of harvested fruits also has broad prospects in China. Post-harvest processing includes selecting, grading, cleaning, pre-cooling, waxing and packaging. Proper processing can minimize post-harvest loss, maintain the high nutritional content and freshness, slow down the metabolic process of fruit in its natural state, enhance the appearance of the fruit and extend the life of the fruit. Currently, the rate of post-picking commercially treated citrus fresh fruit is only 5% in China, compared to more than 90% in other developed major producing countries. The rate of citrus processing in China is much lower than the average level of 35% in the world, which is much lower than that of Brazil and the US, which is 80% and 70%, respectively.

 

Preservation

 

The storage and preserving technology in China lags behind that of developed countries with citrus exports due to grossly inadequate storage and preservation facilities. The rate of cold chain distribution of fruits and vegetables is only 5%, and the rate of refrigerated transportation hardly reaches 15%, which is much lower than in developed countries. Cold chain distribution is a temperature controlled distribution supply chain, resulting in an uninterrupted series of storage and distribution activities maintaining a given temperature. It is used to help extend and ensure the shelf life of products, including agricultural products. The loss rate in distribution of oranges in China is 20-30%, compared with less than 5% in developed countries. The National Development and Reform Commission of China developed a "cold chain logistics development plan" in 2010, which plans to improve the cold chain distribution rate to 20% and refrigerated transportation rate to 30%, and reduce loss rate in distribution to 15%.

 

Most navel oranges mature in October and November, and are distributed between the months of October through January. There is only a small amount of citrus fruit distributed between March and August. No other citrus fruit is available in the summer months except a small amount of Valencia oranges from Spain. General Fruit can extend its sales cycle by 2-3 times due to its strong preservation abilities, which enables us to sell navel oranges at a higher price during the off-season when other distributors may not have sufficient supply.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

Our competitive strengths include:

 

Quality of Oranges and Brand Name. We are committed to purchasing high quality oranges. Our agreements with the farmers provide that each orange must have a solid shape, even stem and a smooth surface and be free of any black spots, fertilizer spots, cracks or worms. The agreements further provide that oranges may not be picked when it is raining, or within three days of rain, when it is foggy or before the dew on the orange tree has dried. The Company has received more than 20 honors related to navel oranges and the Company’s preservation facility. Among the honors the Company has received are the titles of “Chinese Famous Brand” by the Fruits Logistics Association of China, “Famous Agricultural Brand of Jiangxi” by the Jiangxi provincial government, and “Key Leading Enterprise of Ganzhou in Agricultural Industrialization” by the Ganzhou municipal government.

 

Geographical Advantage. The location of our planting area affords us numerous advantages, including proximity to China’s transportation network of highways, optimal climate conditions, and excellent soil for cultivating organic oranges. Our planting area is close to the Beijing-Kowloon railroad, 105 state road, 323 national highway, 319 state road, Kunsha Highway, and Quannan Highway. Using these roads, Jinggangshan airport is approximately one hour drive while the port cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Xiamen are all within five hours by car. Our planting area is located in a subtropical monsoon climate, with abundant rainfall, sunshine and four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is 18.9C with a low of -3C and relative humidity of 70-80%. There is an average annual sunshine exposure of 1,992.3 hours and approximately 1,600 mm of annual rainfall making it very suitable for growing oranges. The soil at our planting area is rich in organic matter with soil pH levels of 6-6.3 (optimal for orange cultivation). Soil sample tests are conducted by experts to comply with the provisions of the Chinese government’s NY5016-2001 standard.

 

Top of the Line Sorting Machines. Our processing facilities utilize up-to-date and efficient sorting machines purchased from world class manufacturers in this industry, such as MAF RODA Group and Yantai Sinclair Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. MAF Roda is the world's largest fresh produce procurement, processing, and packaging equipment manufacturer, leading the world in the development of agricultural products packaging industry and its products represent the top of the line in the field. Yantai Sinclair Economic and Trade Co., Ltd., is the world's leading provider of fresh fruits and vegetables labeling systems. All of the world's major fruit producing areas are serviced by Sinclair's systems, which meet European specifications and regulations regarding fruits and vegetables, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the world's leading supermarket chain requirements. Sinclair currently has tens of thousands of devices running worldwide.

 

Technology Advantage. Our controlled atmosphere storage and preservation technology allows us to maintain a storage period of up to 6-8 months, improve orange appearance and color, and retain a fresh flavor. This is necessary for our oranges to achieve the status of "Gannan navel orange" that meets the national standard (Standard No. GB/T200355-2006). Our controlled atmosphere storage equipment is primarily provided by the China Agricultural University, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and its affiliated company, Beijing Furui. Beijing Furui specializes in the research and development of fruit and vegetable storage and preservation technology, manufacturing of cold atmosphere equipment, and construction of controlled atmosphere storage projects. Beijing Furui and domestic research institutes have co-developed vacuum decompression preservation devices, air discharge devices, cold storage central control and measurement systems, VSA oxygen systems, carbon dioxide removal systems, ethylene suspension systems, and transmission systems.

Highly Trained Management and Expert Team. We have established a specialized fruit forest management and expert team, who work with the contract farmers to optimize cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, water and soil conservation, administration of pesticides for weed and pest control and educate about protection against frost and rain. This team has learned through various lectures taught by a professor of Huazhong Agricultural University, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and by other distinguished fruit experts in China. These lectures were part of an agricultural technology promotional series, provided by the Chinese government for free in support of the planting of navel oranges in the Southern Jiangxi region. In these seminars and lectures the team was introduced to certain navel orange varieties in the Southern Jiangxi region of high-yield and high-quality and was taught standardized production, pollution-free cultivation and other cultivation techniques.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We intend to leverage our existing operations to create a fully integrated business that grows, preserves and distributes high-quality organic navel oranges and other fruits and vegetables. Our approach includes:

Developing Planting Areas in Key Sales Regions. Our fully integrated business model begins with the planting and growing of fruits and vegetables. To that end, we plan on establishing planting areas in each of the major fruit producing areas in the PRC.

 

Establishing Temperature Controlled Warehouses and Distribution Centers in Key Sales Regions. We plan to purchase or construct modern, temperature-controlled preservation warehouses in major fruit and vegetable consumer markets, including the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin region, and the provincial capital cities. We also plan to build fruit and vegetable distribution centers with cold-storage services.

 

Establishing Retail Chain Stores. We plan to build retail chain stores of fruits and vegetables in major cities, leveraging our existing infrastructure.

 

Promoting General Red Brand Name. We plan to promote and enhance the “General Red” brand by placing General Red trademark signs and advertisements in member stores and in the target markets, employing consistent product management system and high standards for product quality, conducting customer feedback surveys, and bringing added convenience to end-customers.

  

Competition

 

To our knowledge, we are the largest integrated navel orange company with both growing areas and post-harvest processing and preservation facilities. Our competitors are pure navel orange growers, pure post-harvest processors, or both. The largest competitor in navel orange growing is Jiangxi Wangpin Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co. Ltd. with 6,880 mu of navel orange groves. The largest competitors in post-harvest processing and preservation are Anyuan Shengda Fruit Industrial Co. Ltd with 20,000 metric ton of preservation capacity, and Xinfeng Yuhe Agricultural Development Co. Ltd. with 10,000 metric ton of preservation capacity.

 

The following table lists our competitors and their profiles, based upon information accessible to us:

Our competitive advantages are that we are an integrated player and the largest grower. We control the source of the navel oranges with high quality standards. In addition, our preservation facility is an air-controlled facility in which we control not only the temperature but also the composition of the air. A nitrogen rich air environment slows down the oxidation process and prolongs the preservation life of the fruits. Our competitors in orange preservation space mostly use temperature controlled facility instead of the more advanced air controlled technology.

 

Suppliers

 

Approximately 50 percent of our business is the sale and distribution of oranges supplied by outside parties. We are supplied with what is referred to as “raw navel oranges,” which are oranges prior to post-harvest processing.

 

Set forth below is a list of our top five raw navel orange suppliers in 2011:

Supplier  Percentage of
total supply
 
Xingguo Mengshan Fruits Development Co., Ltd.   13.95%
Ningdu County Runhua Navel Orange Professional Cooperative   11.79%
Ningdu County Qingtang Township Xiangyun Fruits Professional Cooperative   11.07%
Jianhua Wen   8.42%
Xingguo Changwang Gannan Navel Orange Professional Cooperative   6.30%

 

When we initially develop the orange groves, our fruit seedlings are sourced from seedling cultivation centers. In China, the government places great emphasis on cultivating and managing the seedling sources for high quality and/or high yield fruits or crops. The seedling cultivation centers are typically the result of the joint efforts among the agriculture research institutes, and government agency in agriculture technology promotion. We have had continued support and fruit seedlings from the seedling cultivation centers.

 

We purchase the fertilizers, other production materials and tools from the public market. We have not had any problems in sourcing the supplies.

PRC Government Regulation

 

Agriculture Laws

 

On July 2, 1993, the Standing Committee of National People's Congress of the PRC promulgated the Agriculture Law, which sets forth certain principles and various measures designed to ensure the steady development of the agricultural industry. For example, the production or operation of agricultural products that affect the health of people or animals, such as seeds, must meet registration and approval requirements of the PRC laws and regulations. The Agriculture Law regulates the planting, processing, selling, preservation and transportation of agricultural products. Agricultural Law stipulates that farmers and organizations for production and operation of agriculture products shall keep good maintenance of their lands, make a rational use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, increase their application of organic fertilizers so as to improve soil fertility and prevent the land from pollution, destruction and soil fertility declination. The Company endeavors to plant orange trees by organic and environmental friendly approaches.

 

According to Law of the People's Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products passed by Standing Committee of National People’s Congress on April 29, 2006, effective on November 1, 2006, the administrative departments for agriculture under the governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for supervision and control of the quality and safety of agricultural products; and the relevant departments of the people's governments at or above the county level shall, in compliance with the division of their duties, be responsible for the work related to the quality and safety of agricultural products. Agricultural production enterprises and specialized cooperative economic organizations of farmers shall test the quality and safety of their products themselves or entrust the testing to a testing agency. The Company engaged testing agency to test soil, cultivating water and air for certain planting areas to ensure quality and safety of its products.

 

According to Law of the People's Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products, when agricultural products is marketed by agricultural production enterprises, specialized cooperative economic organizations of farmers, and by units or individuals engaged in the purchase of agricultural products, then such agriculture products will be required to be packed or labeled in case the packing and labeling is necessary according to related regulations and shall be marketable only after they are packaged or labeled. The Company believes that it has packed and labeled its orange products.

Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated on January 29, 1996 and amended on August 1, 2008, as well as various regulations issued by State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) and other relevant PRC government authorities, the RMB is freely convertible into a foreign currency for current account items, including trade-related receipts and payments, interest and dividends, but not for capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, unless prior approval from SAFE or a local branch has been obtained. Transactions that occur within the PRC must be settled in RMB. Unless otherwise approved, PRC companies must repatriate foreign currency payments received from abroad and domestic enterprises must convert all of their foreign currency receipts into RMB. Foreign-invested enterprises may retain foreign exchange in accounts with designated foreign exchange banks subject to a cap set by SAFE or its local branch.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The PRC Trademark Law, adopted on August 23, 1982 and revised on October 27, 2001, protects the proprietary rights of registered trademarks. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce’s Trademark Office handles trademark registrations and grants an initial term of rights of ten years to registered trademarks. Upon the initial term’s expiration, a second term of ten years may be granted under a renewal. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office or a regional office. In addition, if a registered trademark is recognized as a well-known trademark in a specific case, the proprietary right of the trademark holder may be extended beyond the registered sphere of products and services to which the trademark relates.

 

We own and utilize the trademarks and domain name listed below. We continuously look to increase the number of our trademarks where necessary to protect valuable intellectual property. We regard our trademarks and other intellectual property as valuable assets and believe that they have significant value in the marketing of our products. We vigorously protect our trademarks against infringement, including through the use of cease and desist letters, administrative proceedings and lawsuits.

 

We rely on trademark, and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to establish, protect and enforce intellectual property rights in our logos, trade names and in the marketing of our products. In particular, we believe that our future success will largely depend on our ability to maintain and protect the “General Red” trademark. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our intellectual property rights, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in this regard. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our trademarks, products and promotional materials or other intellectual property rights do not or will not violate the intellectual property rights of others, that our intellectual property would be upheld if challenged or that we would, in such an event, not be prevented from using our trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Such claims, if proven, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, although any such claims may ultimately prove to be without merit, the necessary management attention to, and legal costs associated with, litigation or other resolution of future claims concerning trademarks and other intellectual property rights could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The laws of certain foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as do the laws of the PRC. Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our intellectual property rights vigorously, these efforts may not be successful or the costs associated with protecting our rights in certain jurisdictions may be prohibitive. From time to time we may discover products in the marketplace that are counterfeit reproductions of our products or that otherwise infringe upon intellectual property rights held by us. Actions taken by us to establish and protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as violating trademarks and intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in challenging a third party’s products on the basis of infringement of our intellectual property rights, continued sales of such products by that or any other third party could adversely impact the “General Red” brand, result in the shift of consumer preferences away from our products and generally have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Trademarks

 

Through General Fruit and General Preservation, we are licensed to use the following trademarks registered with the Trademark Office, State Administration for Industry and Commerce in the PRC:

 

 

We plan to file for an extension with the appropriate trademark offices before expiration of the trademarks listed above.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings and are not aware of any pending legal or administrative proceedings against us. We may from time to time become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Property

 

There is no private ownership of land in China. Land is usually owned by the state and the government grants land use rights for specified terms. General Preservation has obtained the following Land Use Right Certificates and Property Right Certificates which show our entitlement to the land and buildings used by the Company:

Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a relatively short operating history and are subject to the risks of a new enterprise, any one of which could limit growth, or market development.

 

Our short operating history makes it difficult to predict how our businesses will develop. Accordingly, we face all of the risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies, such as:

 

uncertain growth in the market for our products; and
competition or evolving customer preferences that could harm sales of our products.

 

If we are not able to meet the challenge of building our business, our growth may be slowed, which could result in lower margins, additional operational costs and lower income.

 

Because we face significant competition, we could lose market share and may need to respond by lowering our prices, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

The agricultural citrus business in China is highly fragmented and competitive, and we expect competition in this sector to persist and intensify. We face competition in each geographic market in which we operate. While we are trying to enter into agreements with additional farmers, we face competition from other producers and may not succeed in our efforts.

 

We have agreements with a limited number of farmers to grow and supply us with oranges. Any disruption in supply, breach of our agreements, or failure to deliver products, could adversely impact our distribution capabilities or increase our costs, which could harm our reputation or materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We purchase our products from farmers with whom we enter into seasonal contracts. The failure of our farmers to supply oranges that satisfy our quality, quantity and cost requirements, the decision by farmers not to re-enter into contracts with us, or a breach of the contracts, could have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain our distribution network. If we fail to maintain our relationships with these farmers or fail to develop new relationships with other farmers, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely impacted.

 

We derive most of our sales from the PRC.

 

Most of our sales are generated from the PRC. Although we have explored the exportation of oranges outside of the PRC, at this time we anticipate that sales of our oranges in the PRC will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could adversely affect consumer demand of our products, among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 

If our land use rights are revoked, we would have no operational capabilities or ability to conduct our business.

 

15
 

 

Under Chinese law, land is owned by state or rural collective economic organizations. The state issues tenants the rights to use property. Rights to use property can be revoked and tenants can be forced to vacate at any time when redevelopment of the land is in the public interest. The public interest rationale is interpreted broadly and the process of land appropriation may be less than transparent. Since production of oranges is dependent on having land to grow, we rely on these land use rights as the cornerstone of our operations, and the loss of such rights would have a detrimental effect on our business.

 

Weather and other environmental factors may affect our harvesting season, and a reduction in the quality or quantity of our orange supplies may have a detrimental effect on our revenues.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by weather and environmental factors beyond our control, such as adverse weather conditions during the growing season. We have no control over such forces of nature. A significant reduction in the quantity or quality of oranges harvested resulting from adverse weather conditions, disease to the crops or other factors could result in increased per unit processing costs and decreased production, with adverse financial consequences to us.

 

Concerns over food safety and public health may affect our operations by increasing our costs and negatively impacting demand for our products.

 

We could be adversely affected by diminishing confidence in the safety and quality of certain food products or ingredients, even if our practices and procedures are not implicated. As a result, we may also elect or be required to incur additional costs aimed at increasing consumer confidence in the safety of our products. For example, a crisis in China over melamine-contaminated milk in 2008 adversely impacted overall Chinese food exports since October 2008, as reported by the Chinese General Administration of Customs, even though most foods exported from China were not implicated by the melamine-contaminated milk. Our success depends on our ability to maintain the quality of our products. Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and may cause consumers to choose other products.

 

We have limited insurance coverage.

 

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited insurance products and the cost of such insurance is high. We have determined that the risks of disruption or liability from our business, the loss or damage to our property, including our facilities, equipment and office furniture, the cost of insuring for these risks, and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us purchase. As a result, we only carry insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We may be subject to product quality or liability claims, which may cause us to incur litigation expenses and to devote significant management time to defending such claims and, if determined adversely to us, could require us to pay significant damage awards.

 

Unlike the United States and many other countries, product liability claims and lawsuits in the PRC are rare. Furthermore, we cannot guaranty that product liability exposures and litigation will not become more commonplace in the PRC or that we will not face product liability exposure or actual liability as we expand our sales into international markets, like the United States, where product liability claims are more prevalent. In addition to the genetic traits and the quality of our products, the performance marketability of our fruits depends on climate, geographical areas, cultivation method, farmers’ degree of knowledge and other factors. At the same time, the viability of some farmland in China has deteriorated due to toxic and hazardous materials from farmers’ overuse of herbicides. These factors are beyond our control and can result in sub-optimal production yields. However, farmers generally attribute sub-optimal production yields to poor seed quality. We may be required from time to time to recall products. Product recalls could adversely affect our profitability and our brand image.

 

16
 

 

We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to our seed quality. The defense of these proceedings and claims could be both costly and time-consuming and significantly divert the efforts and resources of our management personnel. An adverse determination in any such proceedings could subject us to significant liability. In addition, any such proceeding, even if ultimately determined in our favor, could damage our market reputation and prevent us from maintaining or increasing sales and market share. Protracted litigation could also result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase of our products.

 

While we have not experienced any credible product liability litigation to date, there is no guarantee that we will not experience such litigation in the future. In the event we do experience product liability claims or a product recall, our financial condition and business operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

We may experience major accidents in the course of our operations, which may cause significant property damage and personal injury.

 

We may experience major accidents in the course of our operations, which may cause significant property damage and personal injuries. Significant industry-related accidents and natural disasters may cause interruptions to various parts of our operations, or could result in property or environmental damage, increase in operating expenses or loss of revenue. The occurrence of such accidents and the resulting consequences may not be covered adequately, or at all, by the insurance policies we carry. In accordance with customary practice in China, we do not carry any business interruption insurance or third party liability insurance for personal injury or environmental damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations other than our automobiles. Losses or payments incurred may have a material adverse effect on our operating performance if such losses or payments are not fully insured.

 

Risks Related to Our Corporate Governance and Controls

 

We do not have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors, which could present the potential for conflicts of interest.

 

We do not have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between us and our stockholders, generally, and the directors, management and controlling shareholder.

 

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our Common Stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. As a public company, we have significant additional requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. However, as a result of the Share Exchange, we have a newly acquired business, which may not have been subject to the same control systems as public company must maintain. We will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We expect that there will be a period of transition as we begin to integrate our new business and implement internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures necessary for a public company’s business.

 

17
 

 

We cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our Common Stock.

 

Lack of US GAAP experience by our finance and accounting team could result in our financial statements not being prepared properly.

 

Currently, we do not have anyone in our finance and accounting team with requisite U.S. GAAP experience or training, which could result in our financial statements not being prepared properly. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff or consultants in order to assist with our financial statement preparations and to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain, further the failure to have such qualified employees may be a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of acquiring a new operating business in the Share Exchange.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, we now have an active operating business. We anticipate that we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a prior shell company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Risks Relating to Regulation of our Business

 

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

 

18
 

 

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive all of our revenues in RMB. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to the US parent company, or other subsidiaries outside of the PRC, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders

 

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China, and such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

 

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress or the NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, Foreign Investment Enterprises (FIEs) and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.

 

On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since January 1, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law , the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.

 

Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. Because the New EIT Law and its implementing rules are new, no official interpretation or application of this new “resident enterprise” classification is available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

 

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are “resident enterprises” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares.

 

19
 

 

Dividends we received from General Fruit may be subject to PRC withholding tax.

 

The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises” and that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are an offshore holding company. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.

 

The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in our combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.

 

Under PRC laws, General Fruit and General Preservation, are obligated to withhold and pay individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. If the PRC Subsidiary fails to withhold and/or pay such individual income tax in accordance with PRC laws, it may be subject to certain sanctions and other penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.

 

In addition, the State Administration of Taxation has issued several circulars concerning employee stock options. Under these circulars, our employees working in the PRC (which could include both PRC employees and expatriate employees subject to PRC individual income tax) who exercise stock options will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee stock options with relevant tax authorities and withhold and pay individual income taxes for those employees who exercise their stock options. While tax authorities may advise us that our policy is compliant, they may change their policy, and we could be subject to sanctions.

 

We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in mainland China. If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such practices are illegal, we cannot assure you that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties.

 

Risks Related to our Securities

 

20
 

 

Because we became a public company by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

 

Additional risks may exist since we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our securities since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.

 

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny involving U.S. Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and/or defend the matter, which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation.

 

Recently, many U.S. reverse merger public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies. Much of the scrutiny has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed China-based companies that have been the subject of such scrutiny has sharply decreased in value. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and/or SEC enforcement actions that are conducting internal and/or external investigations into the allegations. If we become the subject of any such scrutiny, whether any allegations are true or not, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. Such investigations or allegations will be costly and time-consuming and distract our management from our business plan and could result in our reputation being harmed and our stock price could decline as a result of such allegations, regardless of the truthfulness of the allegations.

 

GRH has a number of Chinese minority shareholders.

 

GRH, our public parent company, has a number of Chinese minority shareholders who, along with other U.S. persons, were the initial shareholders of GRH. Such Chinese minority shareholders also held shares of General Red International, Inc., a Texas corporation which sold its operating company, Sheng Da Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, to GRH. General Red International, Inc. is currently in the process of dissolving.

 

These Chinese minority shareholders mainly obtained their shares of General Red International, Inc. from its owners, Mr. Qingsong Luo and Mr. Baojun Xing, who had provided marketing and consulting services to one of our PRC operating companies, General Fruit, in exchange for the shares of General Red International, Inc.

 

Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.

 

Our executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders hold approximately 76.43% of our outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, these shareholders are able to control all matters requiring shareholders approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other shareholders wanted it to occur.

 

We cannot assure you that the Common Stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.

 

21
 

 

In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, by law, various requirements would be imposed on broker-dealers who sell its securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the Common Stock, which may further affect its liquidity.

 

There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities.

 

Currently, we are eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, where an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Common Stock. There is only a limited public market that currently exists for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.

 

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

 

The market price of our Common Stock will likely be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin Board quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our Common Stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our Common Stock and overall general public sentiment toward U.S.reverse merger public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China. These factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock. We plan to retain any future earning to finance growth.

 

Risks Associated With Doing Business In China

 

Because Chinese laws will govern almost all of our business’ material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.

 

We have entered into numerous contracts governed by PRC law, many of which are material to our business. As compared with contracts in the United States, contracts governed by PRC law tend to contain less detail and are not as comprehensive in defining contracting parties’ rights and obligations. As a result, contracts in China are more vulnerable to disputes and legal challenges. The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although legislation in the PRC over the past 25 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete understanding of the judges or government agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to us, and foreign investors. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.

 

Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

 

Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. As a result of this policy change, Chinese Renminbi appreciated approximately 0.09% against the U.S. dollar in 2009 and 3.35% in 2008. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.

 

The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.

 

23
 

 

Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain all required conversion approvals for our operations or that Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China, or to repay foreign currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations

 

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

 

China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities, and, as a result, we are dependent on our relationship with the local government in the province in which we operate our business. Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

 

Future inflation in China may inhibit our activity to conduct business in China.

 

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us and our management.

 

24
 

 

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our directors and executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to bring an original lawsuit against us or our directors or executive officers before a Chinese court based on U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of General Red for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 should be read in conjunction with the selected consolidated financial data, the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”). Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Form 8-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

General Red Holding, Inc. (“GRH”) was established under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GRH and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is primarily engaged in growing, preserving and marketing navel oranges.

 

On September 30, 2011, GRH entered into a Share Transfer and Issuance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Han Glory International Investment Limited (“Han Glory International”), a company incorporated on April 28, 2011 under the laws of British Virgin Islands and Hua Mei Investments Limited (“Hua Mei”), a company incorporated on April 26, 2011 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, GRH issued 74,814,862 shares to Hua Mei, the sole stockholder of Han Glory International, in exchange for all of the shares and beneficial interest of Han Glory International. This transaction is treated as a reverse merger, and therefore, after the share exchange, Han Glory International became the wholly owned subsidiary of GRH.

 

On May 18, 2011, Han Glory International purchased all of the shares of Greater China International Investment Limited (“Greater China International”), a company incorporated on December 4, 2009 under the laws of Hong Kong, from Zhihao Zhang, the sole stockholder of Greater China International, for $1,290 (HK$10,000). As a result, Greater China International became a wholly owned subsidiary of Han Glory International.

 

On January 13, 2010, Greater China International formed Nanchang Hanxin Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) in the city of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, the PRC.

 

On February 5, 2010, WFOE purchased all of the shares of Xingguo General Fruit Industry Development Co., Ltd. (“General Fruit”) from Jiangjun Hong Group Co., Ltd., Xingping Hou and Jiefeng Ren for an aggregate purchase price of $293,400. As a result, WFOE acquired a 100% equity interest in General Fruit. This transaction was a capital transaction in substance. That is, the transaction was a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by General Fruit for the net monetary assets of WFOE accompanied by a recapitalization.

 

26
 

 

General Fruit was formed in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, under the corporate laws of the PRC on March 5, 2003. The primary business of General Fruits is to grow and sell navel oranges. On July 14, 2008, pursuant to a series of equity transfer agreements, General Fruit acquired a 90% equity interest in Xingguo General Red Navel Orange Preservation Company, Ltd. (“General Preservation”). On July 25, 2010, General Fruits purchased the remaining 10% equity interest in General Preservation from Xingping Hou, the minority stockholder, for $295,000 (RMB 2,000,000) and, as a result, now owns 100% of General Preservation.

 

General Preservation, a citrus fruits company primarily engaged in preserving, packaging and marketing premium navel oranges, was formed as a limited liability company in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province under PRC laws on November 22, 2005. General Preservation provides wholesale, retail, and institutional customers in China and several other countries with premium navel orange fruits under the trademark of “General Red”.

 

On September 26, 2011, GRH purchased all of the outstanding shares of Sheng Da Holding Limited (“Sheng Da BVI”), a company incorporated on May 18, 2011 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, from General Red Company, Ltd (“General Red BVI”), a limited liability company formed on August 28, 2008 under the laws of British Virgin Islands, for $23,000. As a result, Sheng Da BVI became the wholly owned subsidiary of GRH. On September 29, 2011, Sheng Da BVI entered into a series of new agreements to terminate the old agreements with General Preservation, which were originally signed between General Red BVI and General Preservation on November 17, 2008, amended on June 10, 2011, and transferred to Sheng Da BVI by General Red BVI on June 30, 2011. The old agreements included a Consultation Agreement, an Operating Agreement, a Share Pledge Agreement, a Proxy Agreement and an Option Agreement. Upon the entry of these new agreements, General Preservation is no longer the Variable Interest Entity of Sheng Da BVI.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

While our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Variable interest entities

 

The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. On September 29, 2011, Sheng Da BVI entered into a series of new agreements to terminate the VIE agreements.

 

27
 

 

Seasonal nature of operations

 

Typically the first and fourth quarters of the year are better in terms of profitability because of the maturity stage of the Company's products, which is usually from the month of October.

 

Accounts receivable

 

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable and other receivables to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

As a basis for accurately estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties with which we have business were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record additional reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. We review inventory quantities on hand and on order and record, on a quarterly basis, a provision for excess and obsolete inventory, if necessary. If the results of the review determine that a write-down is necessary, we recognize a loss in the period in which the loss is identified, whether or not the inventory is retained. Our inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory and are not reversed until we sell or dispose of the related inventory. Such provisions are established based on historical usage, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or the estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

  Estimated Useful Life
Electronic equipment 5 years
Vehicles 10 years
Machinery and equipment 10 years
Buildings and improvements 5-20 years
Producing orchards 30 years

 

28
 

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of citrus products upon shipment and transfer of title.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company has evaluated the determination of its functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.

 

On its own, the Company raises financing in the U.S. dollar, pays its own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, paid dividends to its shareholders of common stock and expects to receive any dividends that may be declared by its subsidiaries in U.S. dollars.

 

Therefore, it has been determined that the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.

 

The Company uses United States dollars (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the currency of China, the economic environment in which the Company’s primary subsidiaries conduct their operations. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries in RMB are translated into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010

 

Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had net revenues of $17,096,403, as compared to net revenues of $13,820,121 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately of $3,276,282 or 23.7%. The increase in net revenue was mainly attributable to increase in sale prices as well as increase in sales volume. The favorable market caused by the continually rising demand for organic navel oranges in China made it possible for us to increase our sale price. Starting from January 2011, we raised our sales prices partially in response to continuously increasing cultivation costs such as labor and fertilizer. As a result, the unit sales price increased to approximately $0.82 per kg for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $0.68 per kg for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the sales volume was approximately 20,972,200 kg, as compared to the sales volume of approximately 20,269,420 kg for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 3.5%.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $751,900, or 10.4%, from $7,255,714 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $8,007,614 for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of increased prices for labor and raw materials related to our cultivation activities.

 

Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit was $9,088,789 for year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $6,564,407 for the year ended December 31, 2010 representing gross margins of 53.2% and 47.5%, respectively. The increase in our gross profit margin percentage was mainly attributable to sales price increases that occurred in January 2011. Although our labor and raw material costs also increased in 2011, they did not increase as fast as our sales prices.

 

29
 

 

Selling expenses. Selling expenses were $748,149 and $516,459 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. Selling expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the Year ended   For the Year ended     
   December 31, 2011   December 31, 2010   Increase/decrease 
Shipping and handling   633,504    408,848    54.9%
Compensations and related benefits   40,970    48,499    -15.5%
Advertising and promotion   17,319    27,246    -36.4%
Others   56,356    31,866    76.9%
Total   748,149    516,459    31.0%
selling expense as % of revenues   4.4%   3.7%     

 

Shipping and handling expense increased by $224,656 or 54.9% due to freight rates inflation related to increasing labor and fuel cost in China.

 

Compensation and related benefits decreased by $7,529 or 15.5% as we improved the efficiency of our sales team after we completed the construction of our sales network in 2010. In 2010 and 2011, our customers in Beijing, Shandong, Zhejiang and Heilongjiang are able to accommodate all of our existing production output. As a result, in 2011, we laid off one salesperson to further reduce the number of our salespersons to four.

 

Advertising and promotion expense decreased by 9,927 or 36.4%. In 2010, we completed the construction of our sales network. As a result, we spent less on advertising and promotion in 2011.

 

Other expense mainly includes meals, customer entertainment, vehicle maintenance and miscellaneous office expense. These expenses vary from period to period.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses amounted to $746,618 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $568,278 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $178,340 or 31.4%. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the Year ended   For the Year ended     
   December 31, 2011   December 31, 2010   Increase/decrease 
Compensation and related benefits   246,459    228,663    7.8%
Depreciation   66,566    93,549    -28.8%
Professional service   151,678    90,199    68.2%
Office expense   76,874    26,583    189.2%
Real estate tax   20,723    19,784    4.7%
Amortization of land use right   3,556    3,395    4.7%
Others   180,762    106,105    70.4%
                
Total   746,618    568,278    31.4%
G&A expense as % of revenues   4.4%   4.1%     

 

30
 

 

Compensation and related benefits increased by $17,796 or 7.8% due to increased labor costs in China.

 

Depreciation expense decreased by $26,983 or 28.8% due to allocation of depreciation of certain equipment into general and administration expense instead of cost of goods sold at off-season in 2010 when we did not process navel oranges. In 2011, we changed our policy by allocating all the depreciation of this equipment into cost of goods sold.

 

Professional service fees increased by $61,479 or 68.2% mainly due to additional legal fees. Professional services primarily included audit and legal fees. In 2011, we incurred additional legal fees in preparation for being public in the US market as compared to 2010.

 

Office expenses increased by $50,291 or 189.2% mainly as a result of expenses associated with launch of WFOE business such as licensing and administration.

 

Real estate tax increased by $939 or 4.7% due to the depreciation of the US dollar against RMB.

 

Amortization of land use right increased by $161 or 4.7% due to the depreciation of the US dollar against RMB.

 

Other general and administrative expenses primarily include customer entertainment, utilities, repairs, telecommunication, insurance and certain low-value material. These expenses usually increased as the sales increased. In addition, in 2011, we incurred approximately $23,000 as compensation to prior shareholders of Shengda BVI as GRH purchased Shengda BVI.

 

Income from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011, income from operations was $7,594,022, as compared to $5,479,670 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $2,114,352 or 38.6%.

 

Other income (expenses). For the year ended December 31, 2011, other income amounted to $68,258 as compared to other expenses of $195,286 for the same period in 2010. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, other income (expense) mainly included:

 

Government subsidy decreased by $295,880 or 100.0%. The government subsidy varies from time to time.

 

Interest expense slightly decreased by $5,564 or 2.5% because the average balances of our bank loans kept constant from 2010 to 2011.

 

Other income mainly includes rental income of our product line in off-season.

 

Income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, income tax amounted to $0 and $838,162, as, beginning in January 2011, we started to enjoy income tax waiver that we received due to our business in agricultural commodities.

 

Net income. As a result of the factors described above, our net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $7,662,280. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had net income of $4,836,794.

 

Foreign currency translation gain. The functional currency of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $883,187 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $464,201 for the same period year 2010. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive income.

 

31
 

 

Comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2011, comprehensive income of $8,545,467 is derived from the sum of our net income of $7,662,280 plus foreign currency translation gains of $883,187.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of December 31, 2011, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $3,265,179. As of December 31, 2010, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $971,321.

 

The following summarizes the key components of the Company’s cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

   For the Years Ended 
   December 31,   December 31, 
   2011   2010 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $2,207,441    3,194,056 
Cash flows used in investing activities   (621,386)   (593,702)
Cash flows provided (used) in financing activities   443,681    (3,058,298)
Effect of foreign currency translation   264,122    42,135 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents  $2,293,858    (415,809)

 

The Company currently generates its cash flow through operations which it believes will be sufficient to sustain current level operations for at least the next twelve months.

 

In summary, our cash flows were:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in the year ended December 31, 2011 by $986,615 to $2,207,441 from net cash provided by operating activities of $3,194,056 for the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented a 30.9% decrease from the prior year. These changes were mainly brought about by changes as follows: an increase in cash used in prepaid leases of $13,740,662 and a decrease in cash provided from advances from customers of $1,188,431. These decreases were offset by an increase in net income of $2,825,486 or an increase of 58.4% over the prior period ended December 31, 2010, an increase in cash used in accounts receivable of $1,998,788, a decrease in cash used in inventory of $861,762 and an increase in cash provided by accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7,926,773. 

 

Net cash used in investing activity increased by $27,684 in the period ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 which is mainly due to an increase in cash used for our acquisition of machinery and equipment of $507,523, offset by an decrease in cash used in buyout of existing shareholder of $300,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $3,501,979 to $443,681 in the period ended December 31, 2011 compared to $3,058,298 used in financing activities in the same period of 2010. This was mainly due to an increase in cash provided by short-term loans of $2,035,540, a decrease in cash payment to related parties of $1,980,459, offset by an increase in cash used in repayment of a long-term bank loan of $809,900.

 

32
 

 

Working capital at December 31, 2011 decreased by $4,791,319 to $-5,485,900 from $-694,581 or 689.8% over the same period ended December 31, 2010. The negative working capital in 2011 is mainly a result of purchasing 308,000 mature navel orange trees on credit in 2011 for a total price of approximately $14,730,000 (RMB93,598,560), which needs to be repaid in two years. The expected navel orange output from these purchased trees in 2012 is approximately 14,000 tons and will generate a profit of approximately $4,722,000 (RMB30,000,000). Furthermore, the expected profit from the output of our existing orange trees in 2012 is approximately $5,509,000 (RMB35,000,000). In addition, as we are listed by the lending bank as a good credit customer, we reasonably believe that our short-term bank loans will be renewed at their maturity dates. As a result we believe our operating cash is sufficient to sustain current level operations for at least the next twelve months.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

 

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had net revenues of $7,650,288, as compared to net revenues of $7,461,779 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $188,509 or 2.5%. The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to increases in sales volume, offset by a decrease in our sales prices. As navel orange orchards in our leased farmland became more mature, we were able to harvest more navel oranges starting in December 2011 as compared to the same harvest season of 2010. As a result, we were able to sell more navel oranges during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the sales volume increased to approximately 9,522,275kg from approximately 8,489,330kg for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 12.2%. However, as output of navel oranges in the South of Jiangxi Province, the homeland of growing navel orange in China, increased each year, the market becomes more competitive. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2012, due to the cost increase in rental, shipping and labor, our customers, mainly wholesalers, suffered losses in their profit margin. In order to leave room for our customers’ profit and maintain our market shares, we reduced our sales price to $0.80 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $0.88 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $348,588, or 11.0%, from $3,166,453 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $3,515,041 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 mainly as a result of 12.2% increase in the sales volume.

 

Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit was $4,135,247 for three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $4,295,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 representing gross margins of 54.1% and 57.6%, respectively. The decrease in our gross profit margin was mainly attributable to decreases in sales prices that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2012, while our unit cost kept at approximately $0.37 per kg period over period.

 

Selling expenses. Selling expenses were $429,820 and $ 156,390 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. Selling expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the three
months ended
   For the three
months ended
     
   March 31, 2012   March 31, 2011   Increase/decrease 
Shipping and handling   384,278    145,273    164.5%
Compensations and related benefits   11,530    7,586    52.0%
Advertising and promotion   17,182    2,110    714.3%
Others   16,830    1,421    1,084.3%
Total   429,820    156,390    174.8%
selling expense as % of revenues   5.6%   2.1%     

 

Shipping and handling expenses increased by $239,005 or 164.5%, which includes approximately $125,000 in extra costs related to ocean shipping incurred for oranges sold to United Arab Emirates and approximately $127,227 in shipping costs in 2011, which was paid off as part of orange processing fee, and was recorded as cost of goods. In order to correctly reflect its nature, starting from January 2012, we decided to record it as selling expense.

 

Compensation and related benefits increased by $3,944 or 52.0% as we incurred more travelling expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

34
 

 

Advertising and promotion expense increased by $15,072 or 714.3% as a result of a planned promotion campaign in 2012. In order to promote the brand name of General Red Navel Oranges, we plan to spend more on advertisements in 2012.

 

Other expense mainly includes packaging, customer entertainment, vehicle maintenance and miscellaneous office expenses. Because packaging materials are low-value and hard to be counted in use, they are expensed immediately after purchase. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately $16,798 packaging materials were expensed. Other expenses are minimal and vary from time to time.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses amounted to $179,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $161,922 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $17,709 or 10.9%. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the three
months ended
   For the three
months ended
     
   March 31, 2012   March 31, 2011   Increase/decrease 
Compensation and related benefits   70,648    82,698    -14.6%
Depreciation   25,617    16,309    57.1%
Professional service   31,454    1,004    3032.9%
Office expense   20,354    13,206    54.1%
Amortization of land use right   911    873    4.4%
Others   30,647    47,832    -35.9%
                
Total   179,631    161,922    10.9%
G&A expense as % of revenues   2.3%   2.2%     

 

Compensation and related benefits decreased by $12,050 or 14.6%. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, we awarded bonuses of approximately $8,570, while in the three months ended March 31, 2012, we did not award any bonuses. The remaining decrease is due to the variance in management’s travelling expense period by period.

 

Depreciation expense increased by $9,308 or 57.1% due to completion of construction of our Plastic Sorting Workshop worth approximately $132,000 and addition of certain equipment in December 2011, which we started to record depreciation during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Professional service fees increased by $ 30,450 mainly as a result of appraisal fee of approximately $20,000 associated with a bank loan application and US professional fees such as legal and auditor fees in preparation for being public in the US market.

 

Office expense increased by $7,148 or 54.1% mainly as a result of business expansion.

 

Amortization of land use right increased by $38 or 4.4% due to changes in the exchange rate of the US dollar to RMB.

 

Other general and administrative expenses mainly include customer entertainment, utilities, repairs, telecommunication, insurance and certain low-value material. These expenses usually increased as sales increased. We started reducing our costs related to customer entertainment, which decreased by $17,043 period over period.

 

35
 

 

Income from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, income from operations was $3,525,796, as compared to $3,977,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $451,218 or 11.3%.

 

Other income (expenses). For the three months ended March 31, 2012, other expense amounted to $67,371 as compared to other expenses of $8,343 for the same period in 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, other income (expense) mainly included:

 

Interest expense slightly increased by $29,542 or 49.2% due to a significant increase in the average balances of our bank loans.

 

Other income mainly includes rental income of our product line in off-season and certain government subsidies. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we received government subsidies such as bank loan interest discount and an eco-irrigation subsidy.

 

Income tax expense. For both the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, income tax amounted to $0, as we started to enjoy income tax waiver in January 2011, as we engaged in agricultural commodities.

 

Net income. As a result of the factors described above, our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $3,458,425. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had net income of $3,968,671.

 

Foreign currency translation gain. The functional currency of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $140,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $111,938 for the same period year 2011. This non-cash gain had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive income.

 

Comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, comprehensive income of $3,599,327 is derived from the sum of our net income of $3,458,425 plus foreign currency translation gains of $140,902.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of March 31, 2012, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $647,778. As of March 31, 2011, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $1,610,934.

 

The following summarizes the key components of the Company’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

   For the Three Months Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2012   2011 
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities  $(2,626,697)   1,088,345 
Cash flows (used in) investing activities   (18,668)   (1,141)
Cash flows provided by (used) in financing activities   377    (456,136)
Effect of foreign currency translation   27,587    8,545 
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents  $(2,617,401)   639,613 

 

36
 

 

The Company currently generates its cash flow through operations which it believes will be sufficient to sustain current level operations for at least the next twelve months.

 

In summary, our cash flows were:

 

Net cash used in operating activities increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 by $3,715,042 to $2,626,697 from net cash provided by operating activities of $1,088,345 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represented a 341.3% decrease from the prior year. These changes were mainly brought about by changes as follows: a decrease in net income of $510,246, an increase in cash used in accounts receivable of $2,099,277, a decrease in cash provided from accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,718,219 and an increase in cash used in inventory of $947,026. This was offset by a decrease in cash used in advance payment of $1,628,927 and an increase in cash provided by advances from customers of $597,079.

 

Net cash used in investing activity increased by $17,527 in the period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period ended in 2011, which is mainly due to an increase in cash used for our acquisition of machinery and equipment of $6,874.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $456,513 to $377 in the period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $456,136 used in financing activities in the same period in 2011. This was mainly due to a decrease in cash used to repay related parties of $456,513.

 

Working capital at March 31, 2012 decreased by $4,942,957 to $-1,435,551 from $3,507,406 or 140.9% over the same period ended March 31, 2011. The negative working capital in 2012 is mainly a result of purchasing 308,000 mature navel orange trees on credit in 2011 for a total price of approximately $14,730,000 (RMB93,598,560), which needs to be repaid in two years. The expected navel orange output from these purchased trees in 2012 is approximately 14,000 tons and will generate a profit of approximately $4,722,000 (RMB30,000,000). Furthermore, the expected profit from the output of our existing orange trees in 2012 is approximately $5,509,000 (RMB35,000,000). In addition, as we are listed by the lending bank as a good credit customer, we reasonably believe that our short-term bank loans will be renewed at their maturity dates. As a result we believe our operating cash is sufficient to sustain current level operations for at least the next twelve months.

Market Information

 

There is no established public trading market for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GELT”, but there is no active trading at this time. Should a market develop for our shares, the trading price of the Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new sales formats, or new services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in the fruit or agriculture markets, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of common stock and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for fruit and agricultural products in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

 

Consequently, future announcements concerning us or our competitors, litigation, or public concerns as to the commercial value of one or more of our products or services may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially for reasons which may be unrelated to operating results. These fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Dividends or other distributions will only be paid or made if we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

Effective July 11, 2012, (the “Termination Date”), we terminated our engagement of Weinberg & Baer LLC (“Weinberg”) as our independent registered public accounting firm and retained Patrizio & Zhao, LLC (“Patrizio”) as our independent public accounting firm. This change in the Company's independent registered public accounting firm was unanimously approved by our board of directors.

 

The principal accountant's reports of Weinberg on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports of Weinberg for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 indicated conditions which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years and through the Termination Date, there were no disagreements with Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Weinberg’s satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods. During our two most recent fiscal years and through and through the Termination Date, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years and through the Termination Date, we did not consult with Patrizio with respect to any of (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided Weinberg with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested Weinberg to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made therein. A copy of such letter, dated July 12], 2012, furnished by Weinberg, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.01 Changes In Control of the Registrant

 

On the Closing Date, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GRH in exchange for the issuance in the aggregate of 125,112,803 shares of our Common Stock to the GRH Shareholders.

 

Other than the transactions and agreements disclosed in this Form 8-K, we know of no other arrangements which may result in our change in control.
