PART III

ITEM 11 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Compensation Objectives
 
We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry. The key objectives of our executive compensation programs are to:
 
attract, motivate and retain executives who drive our success and industry leadership; and
 
provide each executive, from vice president to CEO, with a base salary on the market value of that role, and the individual’s demonstrated ability to perform that role.
 
2011  Stock Incentive Plan
 
On August 18, 2011, upon board recommendation, at the annual meeting of our the shareholders, our shareholder approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide an additional inducement for selected employees, consultants and non-employee directors who provide services to the Company, to reward such selected individuals by providing an opportunity to acquire incentive awards, and to provide a means through which we may attract able persons to enter the employment of or engagement with the Company.  Up to 1,000,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of Stock splits and other similar events) may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan.

The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and incentive compensation awards paid in cash or Stock to selected employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company.  Options granted under the Plan may be “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or nonqualified options, and will be designated as such. At present, there are approximately 400 employees and consultants and three non-employee directors eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board. The administrator will have complete discretion to select the optionees and to establish the terms and conditions of each option, subject to the provisions of the Plan.

We believe that the future success of the Company depends, in large part, upon the ability of the Company to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel. As of the date of this report, no decisions have been made regarding future awards under the Plan.
 
What Our Compensation Program is Designed to Reward
 
Our compensation program is designed to reward each individually named executive officer’s contribution to the advancement of our overall performance and execution of our goals, ideas and objectives.  It is designed to reward and encourage exceptional performance at the individual level in the areas of organization, creativity and responsibility while supporting our core values and ambitions. This in turn aligns the interest of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders, and thus with our interests. 
 
Determining Executive Compensation
 
The Board’s compensation committee reviews and approves the compensation program for executive officers annually after the close of each year. Reviewing the compensation program at such time allows the compensation committee to consider the overall performance of the past year and the financial and operating plans for the upcoming year in determining the compensation program for the upcoming year.

Our compensation program only contains base annual salary in 2012 and 2011.


 
A named executive officer’s base salary is determined by an assessment of his sustained performance against individual job responsibilities, including, where appropriate, the impact of his performance on our business results, current salary in relation to the salary range designated for the job, experience and mastery, and potential for advancement.  The compensation committee also annually reviews market compensation levels with comparable jobs in the industry to determine whether the total compensation for our officers remains in the targeted median pay range.
 
Role of Executive Officers in Determining Executive Compensation
 
The compensation committee determines the compensation for the CEO, which is based on various factors, such as level of responsibility and contributions to our performance. The CFO recommends the compensation for our executive officers (other than the compensation of the CEO) to the compensation committee. The compensation committee reviews the recommendations made by the CEO and determines the compensation of the CFO and the other executive officers.
 
Employment Agreements
 
We do not currently have an employment agreement with any of our executive officers.
 
Summary Compensation of Named Executive Officers
 
Our executive officers do not receive any compensation for serving as executive officers of Pacific or us. However, except for our former CEO, the remaining executive officers are compensated by and through SkyPeople (China). Our former CEO, Yongke Xue, has not received any compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries for his services in the past three years. The following table sets forth information concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid by SkyPeople (China) to our named executive officers for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Preparation
 
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 
The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD).
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and this requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment, provision for staff benefit, valuation of change in fair value of warrant liability, recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, or it is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other industrial changes. The determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is made by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. During the reporting periods there was no impairment loss of long-lived assets recognized.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. In February 2008, FASB deferred the effective date of ASC 820 by one year for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
 
ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques based on observable and unobservable input, which may be used to measure fair value and include the following:

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

    Level 2 - Input other than Level 1 that is observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other input that is observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

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

Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 
Earnings Per Share
 
Under ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, basic EPS excludes dilution for Common Stock equivalents and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is a participating security. Consequently, the two-class method of income allocation is used in determining net income available to common stockholders.
 
Diluted EPS is calculated by using the treasury stock method, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Under this method, (i) exercise of options and warrants is assumed at the beginning of the period and shares of Common Stock are assumed to be issued, (ii) the proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase Common Stock at the average market price during the period, and (iii) the incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation. The numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted EPS are presented in the following table.

The diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2012 did not include the warrants to purchase up to 175,000 shares of common stock, because their effect was anti-dilutive.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and with an original maturity of three months or less.

Deposits in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are consequently exposed to risk of loss. The Company believes the probability of a bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash consists of cash equivalents used as collateral to secure short-term notes payable.


Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. 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 extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required.

We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary.

Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts.

The Company has not experienced any significant difficulty in collecting its accounts receivable in the past and is not aware of any financial difficulties being experienced by its major customers. There was no bad debt expense during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our credit term for distributors with good credit history is from 30 days to 120 days.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist of raw materials, packaging materials (which include ingredients and supplies) and finished goods (which include finished juice in the bottling and canning operations). Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost on the basis of the weighted average method. The Company periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as obsolete are reserved or written off.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue from sales of products is recognized upon shipment or delivery to customers, provided that persuasive evidence of sales arrangements exist, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customers, the sales amounts are fixed and determinable and collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. Customers have no contractual right to return products. Historically, the Company has not had any returned products. Accordingly, no provision has been made for returnable goods. The Company is not required to rebate or credit a portion of the original fee if it subsequently reduces the price of its product and the distributor still has rights with respect to that product.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers in related sales transactions are included in sales revenues and shipping expenses incurred by the Company are reported as a component of selling expenses. The shipping and handling expenses of $1,642,317 and $1,420,043 for 2012 and 2011, respectively, are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a component of selling expenses. 
 
Government Subsidies
 
A government subsidy is recognized only when the Company complies with any conditions attached to the grant and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received.

The government subsidies recognized were $1,908,802 and $893,241 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in other income of the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s  own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to the Company’s stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s  control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of common stock for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards,  the fair value of the award on the date of grant is calculated in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date equals the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
 
Advertising and Promotional Expense
 
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling expenses. The Company incurred $135,817 and $45,825 in advertising and promotional costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
 
Construction in progress primarily represents the renovation costs of plant, machinery and equipment stated at cost less any accumulated impairment loss, which is not depreciated.  Costs and interest on borrowings incurred are capitalized and transferred to property and equipment upon completion, at which time depreciation commences.  Cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.
 
Depreciation related to property, plant and equipment used in production is reported in cost of sales. We estimated that the residual value of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 3% to 5%.  Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows: 
 
Buildings
20-30 years
Machinery and equipment
5-10 years
Furniture and office equipment
3-5 years
Motor vehicles
5 years 
 

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income
 
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency; however, the functional currency and the reporting currency of the Company are the United States dollar (“USD”). Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into USD using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rate. The average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in a separate component of equity (cumulative translation adjustment).

Other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 represented foreign currency translation adjustments and were included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
 
Income Taxes
 
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
 
Land Use Right
 
The Company paid in advance for land use rights according to Chinese law. Prepaid land use rights are being amortized and recorded as lease expenses using the straight-line method over the use terms of the lease, which are 40 to 50 years.
 
Reportable Segments
 
We have six operating segments for financial reporting purposes for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.”
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and are included in operating expenses.


Retirement Costs
 
Retirement cost contributions relating to defined contribution plans are made based on a percentage of the relevant employees’ salaries and are included in the consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income as they become payable. The assumptions used in calculating the obligation for retirement cost contributions depend on the local economic environment, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions in this update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): The objective of this update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions in this update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

LAND USAGE RIGHTS
 
According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all of the land in the PRC. The government of the PRC, its agencies and collectives hold all land ownership.  Companies or individuals are authorized to use the land only through land usage rights granted by the PRC government. Land usage rights can be transferred upon approval by the land administrative authorities of the PRC (State Land Administration Bureau) upon payment of the required land transfer fee. Accordingly, the Company paid in advance for land usage rights. Prepaid land usage rights are being amortized and recorded as lease expenses using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases, which range from 40 to 50 years. The amortization expense was $180,920 and $176,822 for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The following table sets forth land usage rights of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

SETTLEMENT RELATING TO PRIOR ACQUISITION
 
Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Shaanxi Xirui Co., Ltd., the former owner of Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo Modern Organic Food., Co., Ltd., the Company agreed to pay RMB 3 million (approximately $481,000) as additional consideration relating to the acquisition of 21.05% in Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo Modern Organic Food., Co., Ltd.   Since the agreement was entered into  subsequent to the measurement date to record the fair value of the acquisition, this payment has been recorded as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
7.
INCOME TAX
 
The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. No provisions for income taxes have been made, as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The applicable income tax rate for the Company for both of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 26%. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the dividend from foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such determination is not practical.

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings attributable to its PRC subsidiaries as they are to be permanently reinvested. On February 22, 2008, MOF, and SAT, jointly issued Cai Shui 2008 Circular 1, “Circular 1.” According to Article 4 of Circular 1, distributions of accumulated profits earned by foreign investment enterprises, (“FIE”) prior to January 1, 2008 to their foreign investors will be exempt from withholding tax, (“WHT”) while distribution of the profits earned by a FIE after January 1, 2008 to its foreign investors shall be subject to WHT.


Dividend payments by PRC subsidiaries are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by PRC subsidiaries without first receiving prior approval from SAFE. Dividend payments are restricted to 90% of after tax profits.

Since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in mainland China, its PRC subsidiaries do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred taxes in relation to WHT on the cumulative amount of undistributed retained earnings since January 1, 2008.

Should the Company’s PRC subsidiaries distribute all their profits generated after December 31, 2007, the aggregate withholding tax amount will be $8,726,331 and $6,817,768 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Since SkyPeople (China) intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in mainland China, its PRC subsidiaries do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred taxes in relation to US tax on the cumulative amount of undistributed retained earnings since January 1, 2008.

Effective on January 1, 2008, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, EIT Law, and Implementing Rules imposed a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. In December 2006, SkyPeople (China) was awarded the status of a nationally recognized High and New Technology Enterprise in Shaanxi Province, which entitled SkyPeople (China) to a tax-free treatment from January 2007 to December 2008. As such, starting from January 1, 2009, four of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC, including SkyPeople (China), Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo, Yingkou and Huludao Wonder, were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25%. 

The reconciliation of income tax expense at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in 2012 and 2011, to the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
On April 20, 2011, plaintiff Paul Kubala (on behalf of his minor child N.K.) filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its individual officers and/or directors, and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the underwriter of the Company’s follow-on public offering consummated in August 2010, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On June 20, 2011, plaintiff Benjamin Padnos filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its current and former officers and/or directors, the Company’s former independent auditors Child Van Wagner & Bradshaw, PLLC and BDO Limited, and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the underwriter of the Company’s follow-on public offering consummated in August 2010, alleging violations of Sections10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 30, 2011, the Court consolidated the foregoing two actions and appointed Zachary Lewy as lead plaintiff. On September 30, 2011, pursuant to the Court’s order, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint, which names the Company, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, BDO Limited, Child Van Wagoner & Bradshaw PLLC and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and/or officers and majority shareholders as defendants, and alleges violations of Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The Consolidated Complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action. On December 21, 2011, the Company and certain of the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On May 3, 2012, Lead Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the claims against BDO Limited and Child Van Wagoner & Bradshaw PLLC. On September 10, 2012, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On January 11, 2013, defendant Rodman & Renshaw LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and, on January 18, 2011, the court imposed an automatic stay on Plaintiffs claims against Rodman pursuant to Section 326(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Company believes the allegations against the Company are baseless and is contesting the case vigorously.  The Company has made no accrual for any potential contingencies.

On August 5, 2011, we received a shareholder demand letter from counsel for a purported shareholder. The letter was addressed to the Company’s Board of Directors and requested the Board of Directors to take a number of actions in order to repair the alleged “harm” caused to the Company by certain of its directors and officers, as well as its current and former auditors. The Board of Directors has been reviewing this shareholder demand letter and considering appropriate action that the Company should undertake. On November 7, 2011, Baosheng Lu and Tao Wang were appointed to serve as directors of the board and the independent directors of the board appointed them to serve as the members of the evaluation committee. The evaluation committee is in the process of evaluating the actions demanded by the shareholder and retaining counsel to respond to the shareholder inquiry. No formal shareholder derivative complaint has been filed to date on behalf of the Company. The Company believes any such suit would be without merit and would vigorously defend its position in this regard.  The Company has made no accrual for any potential contingencies.

On July 8, 2011, the Company brought suit against Absaroka Capital Management, LLC (“Absaroka”) and its principal Kevin Barnes in the U.S. District Court of Wyoming under the caption SkyPeople, Inc. v. Absaroka Capital Management, LLC, et al., No. 11-cv-238. Absaroka is a purported independent investment analyst who, while holding a short position in our stock, issued a so-called research report (the “Report”) asserting, inter alia, that the Company had inflated revenues. We brought suit alleging three causes of action for libel per se, libel per quod and intentional interference with a prospective business relationship. In or around November, 2011, Absaroka and Barnes brought counter claims against us for defamation per se, defamation per quod and abuse of process. On June 22, 2012, the Company and Absaroka reached an out-of-court settlement of litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming. The settlement includes a dismissal of all claims and counterclaims filed by the Parties, with neither party admitting any wrongdoing or liability. As part of the settlement agreement, Absaroka has agreed to remove the Report from its website, undertake best efforts to remove the Report from third-party sites, and refrain from issuing any further articles, public statements, or research reports concerning the Company.

 
Other than the above, from time to time we may be a party to various litigation proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company operates in six segments: concentrated apple juice and apple aroma, concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree, concentrated pear juice, fruit juice beverages and fresh fruits and vegetables, and others. Our concentrated apple juice and apple aroma is primarily produced by the Company’s Huludao Wonder factory; concentrated pear juice is primarily produced by the Company’s Jiangyang factory. However, as the Company use the same production line to manufacture concentrated apple juice and concentrated pear juice. In addition, both Shaanxi Province, where the factory of Jianyang factory is located, and Liaoning Province, where the factory of Huludao Wonder is located, are rich in fresh apple and pear supplies, Jinagyang factory also produces concentrated apple juice and Huludao Wonder factory also produces concentrated pear juice when necessary. Concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree is primarily produced by the Company’s Qiyiwangguo factory, and fruit juice beverages is primarily produced by the Company’s Qiyiwangguo factory. The Company’s other products include fructose, concentrated turnjujube juice, and other by products, such as kiwifruit seeds.

Concentrated fruit juice is used as a basic ingredient for manufacturing juice drinks and as an additive to fruit wine and fruit jam, cosmetics and medicines. The Company sells its concentrated fruit juice to domestic customers and exported directly or via distributors. The Company believes that its main export markets are the United States, the European Union, South Korea, Russia and the Middle East to North America, Europe, Russia, South Korea and the Middle East.  The Company sells its Hedetang branded bottled fruit beverages domestically primarily to supermarkets in the PRC. The Company sells its fresh fruit and vegetables to supermarkets and whole sellers in the PRC,
 
Some of these product segments might never individually meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and we determine the reportable segments based on the discrete financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment in assessing performance and allocating resources among the segments. Since there is an overlap of services provided and products manufactured between different subsidiaries of the Company, the Company does not allocate operating expenses and assets based on the product segments. Therefore, operating expenses and assets information by segment are not presented.  Segment profit represents the gross profit of each reportable segment.
