Item 3.02 Sale of Unregistered Securities.
 
On October 28, 2013, we issued and sold to Wei Gong, a member of our Board of Directors and the owner of 2,238,000 common shares, an additional 522,000 common shares, for a purchase price of $605,520 ($1.16 per share), pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated September 28, 2013, previously filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2013.  Mr. Gong now owns a total of 2,760,000 common shares (the “Shares”), or approximately 19.77% of our outstanding common shares. The proceeds of the sale will be used as working capital by our variable interest entity, Wuhan Fengze Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd.  As a condition of the sale, Mr. Gong agreed not to sell the Shares for 18 months and thereafter at not less than $1.16 per share.  We did not pay any brokerage or other commissions to an underwriter, broker-dealer or other person in connection with the sale.

The Shares were issued in an “off-shore” transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act. Mr. Gong is a non-U.S. Person, as defined in Rule 902of Regulation S. The certificates evidencing the Shares were endorsed with restrictive legends in accordance with Regulation S.

We believe that the issuance and sale of the additional 522,000 common shares was exempt from the requirements of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635, which requires shareholder approval for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale of 20% or more of an issuer’s common shares outstanding prior to the transaction for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock, in reliance upon the “home country exception” to Rule 5635(d). We have furnished the compliance staff of Nasdaq with the opinion of a leading law firm licensed to practice in the British Virgin Islands, our jurisdiction of organization or home country, to the effect that shareholder approval is not required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale of 20% or more of an issuer’s common shares outstanding prior to the transaction for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock, and consequently we have advised the staff of Nasdaq that we intend to rely upon the exemption from the requirements of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635 in reliance upon the “home country exception” to Rule 5635(d).

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On October 30, 2013, we issued a press release reporting the sale of the 522,000 additional common shares to Wei Gong.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
