NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.Description of Business and Organization

 

References herein to “Kiwa” or the “Company” refer to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

 

Business –The Company’s business plan is to develop, manufacture, distribute and market innovative, cost-effective and environmentally safe bio-technological products for agriculture markets located primarily in China. The Company has acquired technologies to produce and market bio-fertilizer.

 

Going Concern - The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the realizable or settlement values.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $13,638 which is not sufficient to fund its operation for the next year. The Company had no revenue and had an accumulated deficit of $21,310,022 and had incurred net losses of $947,990 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This trend is expected to continue. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the foreseeable future related-parities including the Company’s CEO, Mr. Wei Li and companies that he controls intend to provide financial resources to meet the Company’s daily cash needs. The Company plans to raise funds from domestic and foreign banks and/or financial institutions to increase working capital in order to meet capital demands to develop new products.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

2.Summaries of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principle of consolidation - These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and also its majority-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances or transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Basis of preparation - These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or any other periods. The (a) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, which was derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

KIWA BIO-TECH PRODUCTS GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates include the bad debt provision, impairment of inventory and long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and fair value of warrants and options.

 

Foreign Currency Translation - The Company uses United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. However, the Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is 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.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:

 

    As of September 30, 2012    As of December 31, 2011 
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts   US$1=RMB6.2848    US$1=RMB6.3364 

 

    Nine months ended September 30, 
    2012    2011 
Items in the statements of income and cash flows   US$1=RMB6.3085    US$1=RMB6.4966 

 

Research and development costs - Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - We periodically evaluate our investment in long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the net carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our judgments regarding potential impairment are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance indicators, among others. In assessing the impairment of property and equipment, we make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Based on our analysis, no further impairment on long-lived assets was charged during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Tax,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share includes the effect of dilutive securities (stock options, warrants, convertible debt, stock subscription and other stock commitments issuable). These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per share for the periods presented because the Company incurred a loss during such periods and thus the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented. As of September 30, 2012, potentially dilutive securities aggregated 8,687,471,864 shares of common stock.

 

Fair value measurements - ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

7
 

 

KIWA BIO-TECH PRODUCTS GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and short-term debts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

4.Convertible Notes Payable

 

On June 29, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with six institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”) for the issuance and sale of (1) 6% secured convertible notes, due three years from the date of issuance, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,450,000 (the “6% Notes”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and (2) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 12,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In conjunction with the sale and issuance of the 6% Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, amended in October 2006, the requirements of which the Company met by filing its registration statement on Form SB-2 on August 11, 2006 and subsequently amended on October 20, 2006 and June 29, 2007.

 

Closings for the sale of the 6% Notes occurred on June 29, August 15 and October 31, 2006 for $857,500, $735,000 and $857,500 principal amount, respectively. The Company received $2,450,000 in aggregate from the three sales of the 6% Notes.

 

The conversion price of the 6% Notes is based on a 40% discount to the average of the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board over a 20-day trading period. The conversion price is also adjusted for certain subsequent issuances of equity securities of the Company at prices below the conversion price then in effect. The 6% Notes contain a volume limitation that prohibits the holder from further converting the 6% Notes if doing so would cause the holder and its affiliates to hold more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, each holder of the 6% Notes agrees that they may not convert more than their pro-rata share (based on original principal amount) of the greater of $120,000 principal amount of the 6% Notes per calendar month or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the 10 business days prior to a conversion, per conversion. This conversion limit has since been eliminated pursuant to an agreement by the Company and the Purchasers (see discussion below).

 

The exercise price of the Warrants is $0.45 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to a broad-based weighted average formula for subsequent issues of equity securities by the Company below the trading price of the shares. The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to maintain a reserve of authorized common stock equal to 110% of the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants. The Purchase Agreement imposes financial penalties in cash (equal to 2% of the number of shares that the Purchaser is entitled to multiplied by the market price for each day) if the authorized number of shares of common stock is insufficient to satisfy the reserve requirements. The 6% Notes and the Warrants also impose financial penalties on the Company if it fails to timely deliver common stock upon conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants, respectively.

 

To enable reservation of a sufficient amount of authorized shares that may be issued pursuant to conversion of the 6% Notes and exercise of the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement required the Company to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. At the annual meeting for 2006, which was held on September 12, 2006, a proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares was approved by the required vote of our stockholders. At the annual meeting held for 2008 on December 30, 2008 we further amended our Certificate of Incorporation by increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 400,000,000. At our annual meeting for 2009, which was held on December 28, 2009, the proposal of further amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 400,000,000 to 800,000,000 was not approved by stockholders. At our annual meeting for 2010, which was held on December 15, 2010, the proposal of further amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 400,000,000 to 800,000,000 was not approved by stockholders.

The Company incurs a financial penalty in cash or shares at the option of the Company (equal to 2% of the outstanding amount of the Notes per month plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, prorated for partial months) if it breaches this or other affirmative covenants in the Purchase Agreement, including a covenant to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares under its Certificate of Incorporation to cover at least 110% of the stock issuable upon full conversion of the Notes and the Warrants. Pursuant to the relevant provisions for liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has accrued a penalty of $2,083,647 and $1,634,150 respectively, of which $153,519 and $138,799 was included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The 6% Notes require the Company to procure the Purchaser’s consent prior to taking certain actions including the payment of dividends, repurchasing stock, incurring debt, guaranteeing obligations, merging or restructuring the Company, or selling significant assets.

 

The Company’s obligations under the 6% Notes and the Warrants are secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the Purchasers, and by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s other assets pursuant to a Security Agreement with the Purchasers. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has pledged all of his common stock of the Company as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the 6% Notes and the Warrants. The Purchasers are accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act and the 6% Notes and the Warrants and the underlying common stock upon conversion and exercise will be issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506 under Regulation D under the Securities Act. The intellectual property pledged had a cost of $592,901 which carrying value of $179,897 was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The fair value of the Warrants underlying the three sales of the 6% Notes (amounting to 4,287,500 shares, 3,675,000 shares and 4,287,500 shares respectively) at the time of their issuance was determined to be $545,477, $416,976 and $505,503 calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value was recorded as a reduction to the 6% Notes payable and was charged to operations as interest expense in accordance with effective interest method within the period of the 6% Notes. Significant assumptions used in calculating fair value of outstanding warrants are as follows.

The expected volatility was determined based on the historic quoted market price of the common stock over the last 12 months. Risk free interest rate was determined based on the quoted US treasury rate under the same expected term with each corresponding financial instrument. Based on the calculation, the fair value of outstanding warrants was zero.

 

As of September 30, 2012, there were 12,250,000 warrants outstanding which will expire in 2013.

 

On January 31, 2008, the Company entered into three Callable Secured Convertible Notes Agreements (“2% Notes”) with four of the Company’s 6% Notes purchasers converting their unpaid interest of $112,917 in total, into principal with an interest rate of 2% per annum, which fell due on January 31, 2011. Other terms of the 2% Notes are similar to the 6% Notes. No principal of the 2% Notes has been converted so far. The outstanding principal balance on the 2% Notes was $112,917 as of September 30, 2012.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Purchasers converted nil principal and nil interest into shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2011, the face amount of the 6% Notes outstanding was $1,518,171.

Operation of Kiwa-CAU R&D Center

 

Pursuant to the agreement on joint incorporation of the research and development center between CAU and Kiwa Shandong dated November 14, 2006, Kiwa Shandong agrees to invest RMB1 million (approximately $159,114) each year to fund research at the R&D Center. The term of this Agreement is ten years starting from July 1, 2006. Qi Wang, one of our directors commencing in July 2007 has acted as Director of Kiwa-CAU R&D Center since July 2006.

 

Investment in manufacturing and research facilities in Zoucheng, Shandong Province in China

 

According to the Project Agreement with Zoucheng Municipal Government in 2002, the Company has committed to investing approximately $18 million to $24 million for developing the manufacturing and research facilities in Zoucheng, Shandong Province. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had invested approximately $2 million for the project.

 

7.Discontinued Operation

 

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Challenge Feed, the 20% minority shareholder of Kiwa Tianjin, without our prior permission, transferred titles to machinery, equipment and inventory of Kiwa Tianjin to its own creditors to settle its own debts. On December 22, 2009, Kiwa Tianjin filed a lawsuit against Challenge Feed in the local court of Wuqing District, Tianjin, where Kiwa Tianjin is domiciled. In the lawsuit, Kiwa Tianjin asserted that Challenge Feed unlawfully disposed of the assets held by Kiwa Tianjin. The local court of Wuqing District ruled that the local court would not examine the lawsuit against Challenge Feed since Challenge Feed entered into bankruptcy proceedings and that all related matters would be solved during Challenge Feed’s bankruptcy proceedings.

 

On December 27, 2011, Challenge Feed’s bankruptcy administrator informed the Company the bankruptcy court had agreed on the Company’s request of repossessing machinery and equipment and Kiwa Tianjin’s bio-enhanced feed production lines that were positioned in Challenge Feed’s domicile before December 31, 2011. On February 9, 2012, the Company sold such machinery and equipment for $8,000.

 

Effective on July 11, 2012, the Company dissolved Kiwa Tianjin. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $113,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 based on the discharge of the excess liabilities over the assets of the Kiwa Tianjin.

 

8.Income Tax

 

No provision for taxes is made as the Company and its subsidiaries do not have any taxable income in the U.S., the British Virgin Islands or the PRC.

 

The Company had deferred tax assets as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31 
   2012   2011 
           
Net operating losses carried forward  $5,406,914    5,314,283 
Less: Valuation allowance   (5,406,914)   (5,314,283)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

The net operating losses carried forward were approximately $20 million at September 30, 2012, which will expire between 2012 and 2022. Full valuation allowance has been made because it is considered more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized through sufficient future earnings of the entity to which the operating losses relate.

 

9.Subsequent event

 

The Company has reviewed its subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred through such date.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning our expectations regarding our working capital requirements, financing requirements, business, growth prospects, competition and results of operations, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012 involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein.

 

Overview

 

The Company took its present corporate form in March 2004 when shareholders of Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Ltd. (“Kiwa BVI”), a company originally organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 5, 2002 and Tintic Gold Mining Company (“Tintic”), a corporation originally incorporated in the state of Utah on June 14, 1933 to perform mining operations in Utah, entered into a share exchange transaction. The share exchange transaction left the shareholders of Kiwa BVI owning a majority of Tintic and Kiwa BVI a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tintic. For accounting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Tintic by Kiwa BVI in the form of a reverse triangular merger and a recapitalization of Kiwa BVI and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kiwa Bio-Tech Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Shandong”). On July 21, 2004, we completed our reincorporation in the State of Delaware.

 

We have established two subsidiaries in China: (1) Kiwa Shandong in 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary, engaging in the bio-fertilizer business, and (2) Tianjin Kiwa Feed Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Tianjin”) in July 2006, engaging in the bio-enhanced feed business, of which we hold 80% equity. At the end of 2009, Kiwa Tianjin could no longer use its assets including machinery and inventory in the normal course of operations. The Company has classified the bio-enhanced feed business as discontinued operations. In July 2012, Kiwa Tianjin has been closed down.

 

We generated no revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We incurred a net loss of $947,990 and $1,279,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $13,638. Due to our limited revenues from sales and continuing losses, we have relied on the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and loans from both unrelated and related parties to provide the resources necessary to fund the development of our business plan and operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net amount advanced by related parties, net of repayment to related parties was $203,611 in total. These funds are insufficient to execute our business plan as currently contemplated. Management is currently looking for alternative sources of capital to fund our operations.

 

Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the realizable or settlement values.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,310,022 of which $947,990 was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We currently do not have any revenues to support our business activities and we expect operating losses to continue. We will require additional capital to fund our operations.

 

In the foreseeable future related-parities including the Company’s CEO, Mr. Wei Li and companies that he controls intend to provide financial resources to meet the Company’s daily cash needs. The Company plans to raise funds from domestic and foreign banks and/or financial institutions to increase working capital in order to meet capital demands to develop new products.

 

13
 

 

As of September 30, 2012, our current liabilities were $11,576,922, which exceeded current assets by $11,536,925, representing a current ratio of 0.003:1; comparably, on December 31, 2011, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $10,550,849, resulting in a current ratio of 0.004. The 6% Notes became due on June 29, 2009. The 2% Notes became due on January 31, 2011. If we can achieve the necessary financing to increase our working capital, we believe the Company will be well-positioned to further increase sales of our products and to generate more revenues in the future. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining this financing or in increasing our sales revenue if we do obtain the financing.

 

In July 2012, Kiwa Tianjin has been closed down.

 

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the latest eight years, which states that the financial statements raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to make operations profitable or obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Trends and Uncertainties in Regulation and Government Policy in China

 

Foreign Investment Policy Change in China

 

On March 16, 2007, China’s parliament, the National People’s Congress, adopted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which took effective on January 1, 2008. The new income tax law sets a unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25% and abolishes the favorable policy for foreign invested enterprises. As a result subsidiaries established in China in the future will not enjoy the original favorable policy unless they are certified as qualified high and new technology enterprises.

 

According to the enterprise income tax law previously in effect, our PRC subsidiaries, Kiwa Shandong and Kiwa Tianjin, were exempt from corporate income taxes for their first two profitable years and were entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. Now that the new income tax law is in effect, fiscal year 2008 is regarded as the first profitable year even if Kiwa Shandong or Kiwa Tianjin are not profitable that year; thereby narrowing the time period when the favorable tax treatment may be available to us.

 

Major Customers and Suppliers

 

Bio-fertilizer Products

 

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had no customers. During the same periods of 2012 and 2011, we had no suppliers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception of our ag-biotech business in 2002, we have relied on the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and loans from both unrelated and related parties to provide the resources necessary to fund our operations and the execution of our business plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, amount related parties advanced to the Company, net of repayment by the Company to related parties was $203,611. As of September 30, 2012, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $11,536,925, reflecting a current ratio of 0.003:1. Comparably, as of December 31, 2011, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $10,550,849, denoting a current ratio of 0.004:1.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash of $13,638 and $16,307, respectively. Changes in cash balances are outlined as follows:

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our operations utilized cash of $217,424 as compared with $399,985 in the same period of 2011. Cash was mainly used for working capital for public company operation.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we invested nil for investing activities.

 

During the nine months ended September 30 of 2012, our financing activities incurred net cash inflow of $203,611, comparably, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we generated $387,297 from financing activities, all of them are generated from advances or loans from related parties, net of repayment to related parties.

 

Currently, we have insufficient cash resources to accomplish our objectives and also do not anticipate generating sufficient positive operating cash inflow in the rest of 2012 to fund our planned operations. We are actively looking for new sources of capital. To the extent that we are unable to successfully raise the capital necessary to fund our future cash requirements on a timely basis and under acceptable terms and conditions, we will not have sufficient cash resources to maintain operations, and may have to curtail operations and consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in Part I.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At September 30, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

All of our revenues and the majority of our expenses and liabilities incurred are in RMB. Thus, our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of RMB. Up to now, we have not reduced our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by using hedging transactions or any other measures to avoid our exchange rate risks. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts on earnings and equity as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls.

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

Our management has conducted, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. Based on such evaluation, management identified deficiencies that were determined to be a material weakness.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in disclosure controls and procedures, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2012.

 

The specific material weakness identified by the Company’s management as of September 30, 2012 are described as follows:

 

lThe Company is lacking qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly. In addition, the scope and effectiveness of the Company’s internal audit function are yet to be developed.
lWe currently do not have an audit committee.

 

Remediation Initiative

 

lWe are committed to establishing the disclosure controls and procedures but due to limited qualified resources in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources by September 30, 2012. However, internally we established a central management center to recruit more senior qualified people in order to improve our internal control procedures. Externally, we are looking forward to engaging an accounting firm to assist the Company in improving the Company’s internal control system based on the COSO Framework. We also will increase our efforts to hire the qualified resources.
lWe intend to establish an audit committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls.

 

Conclusion

 

The Company did not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America commensurate with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures requirements, which resulted in a number of deficiencies in disclosure controls and procedures that were identified as being significant. The Company’s management believes that the number and nature of these significant deficiencies, when aggregated, was determined to be a material weakness.

 

Despite of the material weaknesses and deficiencies reported above, the Company’s management believes that its condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

 

17
 

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On December 22, 2009, Tianjin Kiwa filed a lawsuit against Challenge Feed in the local court of Wuqing District, Tianjin, where Kiwa Tianjin is domiciled. In the lawsuit, Kiwa Tianjin asserted that Challenge Feed unlawfully disposed of the assets held by Kiwa Tianjin, such assets include:

 

(1) Machinery and equipment. Challenge Feed entered into a settlement agreement with one of its creditors, in accordance with which Challenge Feed agreed to transfer title of the machinery and equipment, which had been assigned to Kiwa Tianjin in 2006 in connection with the establishment of Kiwa Tianjin as a joint venture between the Company and Challenge Feed, to repay Challenge Feed’s debt. Challenge Feed did not obtain Kiwa Tianjin’s consent nor inform Kiwa Tianjin of such transfer.

 

(2) Inventories. Kiwa Tianjin had a long standing agreement to lease Challenge Feed’s factory facilities and warehouse for the storage of its inventory. Challenge Feed disposed of Kiwa Tianjin’s inventories including raw materials, packaging and finished goods stored in the factory to repay Challenge Feed’s debt without the permission of Kiwa Tianjin.

 

The local court of Wuqing District ruled that the local court would not examine the lawsuit against Challenge Feed since Challenge Feed entered into bankruptcy proceedings and that all related matters would be solved during Challenge Feed’s bankruptcy proceedings.
