NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Nutrastar International Inc. (“Nutrastar” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2002. On December 23, 2008, the Company completed a reverse acquisition with New Zealand WAYNE’S New Resources Development Co., Ltd. (“New Resources”). As a result of the reverse acquisition with New Resources, the Company is no longer a shell company and active business operations have been revived. Nutrastar together with its subsidiaries and affiliates as described below are referred to as the “Company”.

On May 19, 2009, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to, among other things, (1) change the name of the Company from “YzApp International Inc.” to “Shuaiyi International New Resources Development Inc.,” (2) increase the total number of shares of common stock that the Company has the authority to issue from 50,000,000 to 190,000,000 shares and (3) effect a one for 114.59 reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

On January 11, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Company further changed its name from "Shuaiyi International New Resources Development Inc." to "Nutrastar International Inc."

On October 22, 2010, New Resources, a wholly-owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equity transfer agreement with the original founders of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi (the “Shuaiyi Founders”), pursuant to which New Resources transferred all of its equity interests in Heilongjiang Shuaiyi New Energy Development Co., Ltd. (“Heilongjiang Shuaiyi”), a then wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary of New Resources, to the Shuaiyi Founders (the “Equity Transfer”).

In connection with the Equity Transfer, the Shuaiyi Founders, the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary incorporated on July 13, 2010, Harbin Baixin Biotech Development Co., Ltd. (“Harbin Baixin”) and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi entered into the following commercial arrangements (the “Contractual Arrangement” and together with the Equity Transfer, the “Restructuring”), pursuant to which the Company has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi's two wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Daqing Shuaiyi Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Daqing Shuaiyi”) and Harbin Shuaiyi Green & Specialty Food Trading LLC (“Harbin Shuaiyi” and together with Heilongjiang Shuaiyi and Daqing Shuaiyi, the “VIEs”):

Service Agreement
Pursuant to a technical service agreement, entered into by and between Harbin Baixin and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Harbin Baixin will provide certain exclusive technical services to Heilongjiang Shuaiyi in exchange for the payment by Heilongjiang Shuaiyi of a service fee that is calculated based on the market price in light of the particulars of the service and the time of such service provided by Harbin Baixin (the “Service Agreement”);

Option Agreement
Pursuant to an exclusive purchase option agreement, entered into by and among Harbin Baixin, the Shuaiyi Founders and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, the Shuaiyi Founders granted to Harbin Baixin an option to purchase at any time during the term of this agreement, all or part of the equity interests in Heilongjiang Shuaiyi (the “Equity Interests”), at the exercise price equal to the lowest possible price permitted by Chinese laws (the “Option Agreement”);

Voting Rights Agreement
Pursuant to a voting rights proxy agreement, entered into by and among Harbin Baixin, the Shuaiyi Founders and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, each of the Shuaiyi Founders irrevocably entrusted Harbin Baixin and any entities or individuals designated by Harbin Baixin to, among others, exercise its voting rights and other rights as a shareholder of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi (the “Voting Rights Agreement”); and

Pledge agreement
Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement, entered into by and among Harbin Baixin, the Shuaiyi Founders and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, the Founders pledged all of the Equity Interests to Harbin Baixin to secure the full and complete performance of the obligations and liabilities on the part of the Shuaiyi Founders and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi under this and above contractual arrangements (the “Pledge Agreement” and together with the Service Agreement, the Option Agreement, the Voting Rights Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement, the “Restructuring Documents”).

As a result of the Restructuring, the Company transferred all of its indirect equity interests in Heilongjiang Shuaiyi back to the Shuaiyi Founders, among whom, Ms. Lianyun Han became a majority shareholder of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi by owning a 68.3% equity interest in Heilongjiang Shuaiyi. At the same time, through the above contractual agreement, the Company maintains substantial control over the VIEs’ daily operations and financial affairs, election of their senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. As the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company is entitled to consolidate the financial results of the VIEs in its own consolidated financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities (collectively, “ASC Topic 810”).

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principle of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Nutrastar and its wholly owned subsidiaries, New Resources, Oriental Global and Harbin Baixin, and its VIEs Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi. All significant inter-company balances or transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Company has evaluated the relationship with Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi and based on the result of the evaluation, believes that these entities are variable interest entities and that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities. Consequently, the Company has included the results of operations of these variable interest entities in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s relationships with Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are governed by a series of contractual arrangements. Under PRC laws, Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are independent legal persons and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties.

The accounts of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. The Company does not have any non-controlling interests in net income and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in the VIEs that require consolidation of the Company’s and the VIEs’ financial statements.

Use of estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and the fair values of share-based payments.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and provides allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

Derivative financial instruments
The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of income. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses Monte-Carlo simulation methods to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

  Useful Life
  (In years)
Buildings 20-40
Machinery and motor vehicles 5-10
Office equipment 5

Intangible assets
The Company’s intangible assets include a ten-year exclusive right to use a proprietary process and computer software. The Company’s amortization policy on intangible assets is as follows:

  Useful Life
  (In years)
Exclusive right 10
Computer software 4

The Company accounts for its intangible assets pursuant to FASB ASC Subtopic 350-30, “General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill”. Under ASC 350-30-35, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Under FASB ASU No.2012-02 Intangible-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the qualitative assessment fails, intangibles with indefinite lives are further evaluated quantitatively for impairment by comparing the asset’s estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES (CONTINUED)

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales revenue is recognized net of value added and sales related taxes, sales discounts and returns at the time when the merchandise is delivered to the customer. Based on historical experience, management estimates that sales returns are immaterial and has not recorded an allowance for estimated sales returns.

Share-based payments
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expenses as the goods or services are received.

Income taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions where it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of FASB ASC 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). The interpretation prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are charged to general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs were $79,786 and $79,678 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Advertising costs
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs charged to selling expenses were nil for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Shipping and handling costs
Substantially all costs of shipping and handling of products to customers are included in selling expense. Shipping and handling costs were insignificant.

Comprehensive income
FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign currency
The Company uses the United States dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The PRC subsidiaries and VIEs within the Company maintain their books and records in their functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the lawful currency in the PRC. Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are translated from RMB into US Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of 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.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are as follows:

    June 30, 2015     December 31, 2014  
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts   US$1=RMB6.1136     US$1=RMB6.1190  
             
    Three months ended June 30,  
    2015     2014  
Items in the statements of income   US$1=RMB6.1203     US$1=RMB6.1581  
             
    Six months ended June 30,  
    2015     2014  
Items in the statements of income and cash flows   US$1=RMB6.1289     US$1=RMB6.1386  

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollars at the above rates. The value of RMB against US dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US Dollar reporting.

Segment reporting
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.

The Company believes that during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, it operated in three business segments – growing and sales of Cordyceps Militaris, which is widely used for Chinese medicine, manufacturing and sale of functional health beverages featuring the Cordyceps Militaris as a core ingredient, and sales of organic and specialty products. The manufacturing and sale of Cordyceps Militaris functional health beverages was launched in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Throughout the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, all of the Company’s operations were carried out in one geographical segment - China.

Earnings per share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share". FASB ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”, which changes the threshold for reporting discontinued operations and adds new disclosures. The new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal that “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods.. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2014-08 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" which clarifies and improves the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that among other things, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices and provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" which provides explicit guidance on the treatment of awards with performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. This standard requires management to evaluate for each annual and interim reporting period whether it is probable that the reporting entity will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If the entity is in such a position, the standard provides for certain disclosures depending on whether or not the entity will be able to successfully mitigate its going concern status. This guideline is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 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.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company values its financial instruments as required by FASB ASC 320-12-65 (formerly SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

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. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

  Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and payables approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.

For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses Monte-Carlo simulation methods to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

There was no asset or liability measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

NOTE 10 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Board of the Company is authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to issue, from time to time, up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series. Similarly, the Board is authorized to fix or alter the designations, powers, preferences and the number of shares which constitute each such class or series of preferred stock. Such designations, powers or preferences may include, without limitation, dividend rights (and whether dividends are cumulative), conversion rights, if any, voting rights (including the number of votes, if any, per share), redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions, if any), and liquidation preferences of any unissued shares or wholly unissued series of preferred stock.

On May 27, 2010, the Company created, from the authorized but unissued shares of its preferred stock, a series of preferred stock consisting of 300,000 shares and has designated this series of preferred stock as the Series A Preferred Stock of which the Company issued 197,706 shares upon the closings of the private placement in 2010.

The following are the principal terms of the Series A Preferred Stock:

Rank: The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock, but junior to all indebtedness of the Company.

Dividend: Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 6% of the Series A Preferred Stock, payable in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, compounded quarterly, and payable upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, Conversion, Mandatory Conversion or from time-to-time at the discretion of the Board. When dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are paid, each such additional share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be valued at the Original Series A Purchase Price, which may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to a split, subdivision, combination or other similar events.

Optional Conversion: Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are optionally convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate calculated by dividing (i) $28.00 per share plus any declared, accrued but unpaid dividends by (ii) the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”), which is initially $2.80 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate. Initially, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock.

Mandatory Conversion: All outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to shares of Common Stock, subject to the conversion restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation (the "Mandatory Conversion"), at the earlier to occur of (i) the Company’s shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market (each, a "National Stock Exchange") and the registration statement on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form promulgated by the SEC registering the Common Stock underlying the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the Commission, and (ii) 12 months from the date that the Company's shares of Common Stock are first listed on a National Stock Exchange.

Adjustment to Conversion Price: If the Company shall issue any additional stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such additional stock, then such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

Sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such additional stock so issued would purchase at Conversion Price (divided by) (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional stock plus (y) the number of shares of such additional stock so issued.

Preferred Stock (Continued)

Voting: The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, together with the Common Stock, as a single class, in connection with any proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders, except as required by Nevada law.

Liquidation Preference: The Series A Preferred Stock has a preference over the Company’s common stock on the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up equal to $28 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, as of the date of liquidation.

Registration Rights: The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to request the Company to file a Registration Statement to register “Registrable Securities” (which include the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants are convertible). Upon such request, no later than 30 days upon receipt of such request (the “Required Filing Date”) the Company should use its commercially reasonable efforts to register the Common Stock underlying the Registrable Securities and have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC which is not later than the earlier of (x) 150 calendar days after the Required Filing Date, or (y) if the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, 5 business days after oral or written notice to the Company or its counsel from the SEC that there will not be a review.

Effect of failure to file and obtain and maintain effectiveness of Registration Statement – the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities an amount in cash equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities owned by such holder as liquidated damages, but in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 8% of the Purchase Price.

Accounting for Series A Preferred Stock

The Company has evaluated the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock, without embodying an obligation for the Company to repurchase or to settle by transferring assets, is not a liability in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Also, the Series A Preferred Stock has no redemption clause at all, it is not a mezzanine equity (out of permanent equity) in accordance with the requirement of ASC 480-10-S99.

The Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption (except on liquidation) and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with common stock holders on an as-converted basis. The Series A Preferred Stock, excluding the embedded conversion option, are considered to be an equity instrument and accordingly, the embedded conversion option has not been separated and accounted for as a derivative instrument liability.

Movements of Series A Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as below:

NOTE 13 INCOME TAXES

The Company’s VIEs and subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Before January 1, 2008, the PRC EIT rate was generally 33%. In March 2007, the PRC government enacted a new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and promulgated related regulations, Implementation Regulations for the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. The New EIT Law and Implementation Regulations became effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises registered in the PRC.

The New EIT Law provides a grandfathering on tax holidays which were granted under the then effective tax laws and regulations. Therefore, one of the Company's VIEs, Daqing Shuaiyi, being engaged in growing and sales of organic and specialty food products, continued to be entitled to a preferential tax treatment: an EIT holiday for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and a 50% reduction on the EIT rate for the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Daqing Shuaiyi, Harbin Shuayi and Heilongjiang Shuaiyi are subject to an EIT rate of 25%. No provision for PRC taxes was made for Heilongjiang Shuaiyi which had no taxable income in the PRC.

The purchase price was determined based on a real property valuation report issued by an independent appraisal firm, Harbin Guoxin Real Estate Appraisal and Consulting Co., Limited on November 11, 2010 and reflected approximately equal valuation which Ms. Han originally paid when she acquired such property for the Company. Management believes that based on the property valuation report issued by the independent appraisal firm, the terms of the purchase transaction and the consideration that the Company paid in connection with this transaction were comparable to the terms available and the amounts that would be paid in an arm’s-length transaction.

It is the current intention of the Company to move the Company headquarters to this office building in the foreseeable future.

Market rate risk – exchange rate risk

On August 11, 2015, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) reduced the RMB’s reference rate by 1.9 percent, sparking the sharpest fall in the RMB currency since the dollar peg ended a decade ago. The move by the PBOC comes amid growing signs of a deepening slowdown in the mainland economy. The PBOC indicated that the reference rate move was a one-time adjustment, it will keep the currency stable at a reasonable level and it will strengthen the market's role in the fixing of the rate and promote the convergence of the onshore and offshore rates.

(b)

PRC employee costs

According to the prevailing laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC are required to contribute to medical, retirement and unemployment insurance programs for its employees. We have recorded accruals for the probable estimated liability for approximately the past two years. However, in the past we did not provide for contributions for our temporary employees. If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that we were required to make contributions to the social insurance and housing accumulation funds for our temporary employees, our failure to make previous payments may be in violation of applicable PRC labor laws and PRC governmental authorities may impose penalties on us for failure to comply. In addition, in the event that any current or former employee files a complaint with the PRC government, we may be subject to making up the contributions to the social insurance and housing accumulation funds as well as paying administrative fines. As the Company does not currently believe that it is probable that these additional contributions and fines would be material and, furthermore, cannot be reasonably estimated, no additional provision has been made in this regard.

Overview of Our Business

We are a leading China based producer and supplier of premium branded consumer products including commercially cultivated Cordyceps Militaris, organic and specialty food products and functional health beverages.

Our primary product is Cordyceps Militaris, which is a species of parasitic fungus that is typically found in north-eastern China. It is a precious ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine, as Cordyceps Militaris is widely believed in China to offer high medical and health benefits by nourishing the yin, boosting the yang, and invigorating the meridians of the lungs and kidneys. According to Georges Halpern's Healing Mushrooms, certain research has shown that Cordyceps Militaris may boost the immune system, and can be used as a supplement for combating certain effects of fatigue and aging, the occurrences of certain tumors, and combating arteriosclerosis and certain gastrointestinal disorders, as well as reducing blood pressure. In addition, Cordyceps Militaris has significantly high economic values and according to Halpern, wild Cordyceps Militaris can cost as much as $10,000 per kilogram. Due to the extremely sensitive growing conditions of Cordyceps Militaris, it is very difficult to grow the plant in a man-made environment. After several years of laboratory tests, we developed a technology to commercially grow and produce Cordyceps Militaris in 2006. Through our VIE entity, Daqing Shuaiyi, we generated 84.0% and 82.2% of our revenues from Cordyceps Militaris for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. We plan to continue to focus on Cordyceps Militaris related based consumer products, which is our fastest growing product line with the greatest market demand and a significantly higher profit margin.

1


We also sell organic and specialty food products through our VIE entity, Harbin Shuaiyi, which was formed in 2001. After years of development, we believe that we have become one of the largest wholesale distributor of organic and specialty food in Heilongjiang Province, China. We plan to increase our focus in organic and specialty food products business, including efforts to become a producer and increase our distribution capabilities.

We introduced the Cordyceps Militaris based functional health beverages in the fourth quarter of 2010. The non-carbonized beverage products were developed internally and contain the Cordyceps Militaris as a key ingredient. The products are currently being marketed through distributors to consumers in select cities in Jiangsu and Anhui Province through various distribution channels. We produce and distribute our functional health beverages through our VIE entity, Daqing Shuaiyi.

Net Revenue. Our revenues are generated from the sale of our Cordyceps Militaris products, functional health beverages and organic and specialty food products. Net revenue increased approximately $0.24 million, or 1.8%, to approximately $13.24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $13.00 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to the continued increase in quantity sold for our core product, Cordyceps Militaris, by $0.43 million, offset by a decrease in sale of our beverage products by approximately $0.21 million compared with the same period in 2014. The increase in quantity sold of Cordyceps Militaris products was mainly driven by the continued increase in market demand for our core product.

Business Segment Information

Our business operations can be categorized into three segments based on the type of products we produce and sell, specifically (i) Cordyceps Militaris, (ii) functional health beverages and (iii) organic and specialty food products. The following table illustrates the revenue from each of these three segments as well as the change of percentage for the periods indicated:

Net Revenue by Product Segments
(all amounts, other than percentages, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

    Three Months Ended June 30,     Percent  
    2015     2014     Change  
Components of Net Revenue                  
Cordyceps Militaris $  11,119   $  10,691     3.9%  
Functional Health Beverages   1,539     1,750     (12.1% )
Organic and Specialty Food Products   585     564     3.6%  
Total revenues $  13,243   $  13,005     1.8%  

We expect that majority of our revenue for 2015 will continue to be generated from our Cordyceps Militaris related products. In addition, we expect to see an increase in the percentage of revenue coming from the powder solution and beverage products in the future if we are successful in expanding our distribution channel of such products. We also expect to increase our business development activities relating to our product lines on a going forward basis and anticipate that sales and marketing related costs associated with branding, marketing and advertising will increase as a percentage of revenue.

Additional information regarding our products can be found at Note 18, Segment Information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained under Part I, Item I “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” above.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and overhead. Our cost of goods sold decreased by $0.03 million, or 1.1%, to approximately $2.92 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $2.95 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased to 22.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 22.7% during the same period in 2014. The decrease in cost of goods sold in dollar terms and as a percentage of revenue was mainly attributable to the economies of scale due to full production capacity utilization.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by approximately $0.27 million, or 2.6%, to approximately $10.32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $10.05 million during the same period in 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue, or gross margin, was 77.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 0.6% from 77.3% during the same period in 2014. Such percentage increase was mainly due to the increase in the sales of our core Cordyceps Militaris products in the product mix which have a higher gross margin as compared to our beverages and organic and specialty foods and economies of scale due to full capacity utilization.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, and other sales related costs. Selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.05 million, or 12.0%, to approximately $0.43 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $0.48 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, selling expenses decreased to 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 3.7% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in selling expenses in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was mainly attributable to the slight decrease in marketing expenses, mainly entertainment expenses we incurred, relating to our selling activities in this quarter, and a slightly decrease in sales office rental expense.

4


General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses include the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, depreciation charges for fixed assets, and professional fees paid to third parties. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.06 million, or 11.3%, to approximately $0.59 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $0.53 million for the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses were 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.1% for the same period of 2014. The increase of general and administrative expenses in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in payments for third party professional services.

Income Before Income Tax. Income before income tax increased by approximately $0.29 million, or 3.0%, to approximately $9.42 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $9.13 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, income before income tax increased to 71.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 70.2% during the same period in 2014. The increase of income before income tax in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in gross profit of $0.27 million.

Income Taxes. Nutrastar International Inc. is subject to United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as Nutrastar International Inc. had no U.S. source income taxable in the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. New Resources was incorporated in the BVI and under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes. Oriental Global was formed in Hong Kong and under the current laws of Hong Kong, is not subject to income taxes. Our PRC subsidiary and the VIEs are subject to national and local income taxes within China at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in their PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. China promulgated a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and its implementing regulations, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008.

Each of VIE entities has been subject to an income tax rate of 25% since 2011.

Income tax increased by approximately $4,000 to approximately $2.34 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. The slight increase in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is because of the increase in net revenue and taxable income described above.

Net Income. Net income increased by approximately $0.28 million, or 4.0% to approximately $7.08 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $6.80 million for the same period of 2014, as a result of the factors described above.

Net Revenue. Net revenue increased approximately $0.41 million, or 2.0%, to approximately $20.29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $19.87 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in quantity sold of our core product, Cordyceps Militaris by $0.54 million, offset by a slight decrease in revenue from our beverage products by $0.16 million. The increase in quantity sold of Cordyceps Militaris products was mainly driven by the continued increase in market demand for our core product.

Business Segment Information

Our business operations can be categorized into three segments based on the type of products we produce and sell, specifically (i) Cordyceps Militaris, (ii) functional health beverages and (iii) organic and specialty food products. The following table illustrates the revenue from each of these three segments as well as the change of percentage for the periods indicated:

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold decreased by $0.07 million, or 1.7%, to approximately $4.51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $4.58 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased to 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 23.1% during the same period in 2014. The decrease in cost of goods sold in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenue was mainly attributable to the economies of scale due to our full capacity utilization.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by approximately $0.49 million, or 3.1%, to approximately $15.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $15.29 million during the same period in 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue, or gross margin, was 77.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 0.9% from 76.9% during the same period in 2014. Such percentage increase was mainly due to the increase in the sales of our core Cordyceps Militaris products in the product mix which have a higher gross margin as compared to our beverages and organic and specialty foods.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses remained stable at approximately $0.73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with approximately $0.73 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, selling expenses decreased to 3.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 3.7% for the same period in 2014. The percentage decrease was mainly due to the slight increase in net revenue.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.12 million, or 10.0%, to approximately $1.09 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $1.21 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in dollar terms was mainly attributable to a decrease in payments for third party professional services. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses were 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 6.1% for the same period of 2014. The percentage decrease was mainly was mainly due to the increase in net revenue combined with the decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Income Before Income Tax. Income before income tax increased by approximately $0.67 million, or 4.7%, to approximately $14.19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $13.53 million during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, income before income tax increased to 70.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 68.1% during the same period in 2014. The increase of income before income tax in dollar terms and as a percentage of net revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in gross profit of $0.49 million combined with a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Taxes. Income tax increased by approximately $0.08 million to approximately $3.58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $3.50 million for the same period in 2014. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased because of the increase in net revenue and taxable income.

Net Income. Net income increased by approximately $0.58 million, or 5.80% to approximately $10.61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from approximately $10.03 million for the same period of 2014, as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $137.73 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

Cash Flow
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)

    Six Months Ended June 30,  
    2015     2014  
Net cash provided by operating activities $11,036   $10,655  
Net cash provided by investing activities   -     -  
Net cash provided by financing activities   11     30  
Foreign currency translation adjustment   141     (961 )
Net cash flow $11,188   $9,724  

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $11.04 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, which is an increase of approximately $0.38 million from approximately $10.66 million for the same period of 2014. The increase in the cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to:

 

$0.58 million increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014;

 

An increase in inventories purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 decreased our operating cash balances by approximately $0.15 million; reflecting on us utilizing more cash for inventory production; and

 

$0.20 million increase in operating cash flows from payment of income tax in advance but not required in the current period; offset by

 

A decrease in our utilization of prepaid expenses for the six months period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year decreased our operating cash balances by approximately $0.03 million;

 

A decrease in our collection from receivables for the six months period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year decreased our operating cash balances by approximately $0.03 million;

 

A decrease in advance from related parties decreased our operating cash balances by approximately $0.18 million, reflecting repayment of advance from related parties for payments of US$ denominated expenses in the prior period;

Investing Activities

Our primary uses of cash for investing activities are payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 and six-month period ended June 30, 2014, there was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities. After we completed the Cordyceps Militaris capacity expansion and scaled back the expansion plan relating to the organic and specialty food segment of the business, we did not incur expenses for the acquisition of property, plant or equipment during these periods.

8


Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $11,000, a decrease of approximately $19,000 from approximately $30,000 net cash provided by financing activities for the same period of 2014. The decrease of the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the decrease in advance from a related party for operating costs for the six-months period ended June 30, 2015 compared to same period of 2014.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. However, we may in the future require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our production capacity, sales, marketing and branding activities or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

The production and sale of our primary product, Cordyceps Militaris, have not been historically subject to material seasonal variations. However since all of our sales are in China, the timing of the various Chinese holidays such as Lunar Chinese New Year, May and October holidays may have some impact to our operating results and operating cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

9


Principle of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Nutrastar and its wholly owned subsidiaries, New Resources, Oriental Global and Harbin Baixin, and its VIEs Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi. All significant inter-company balances or transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Company has evaluated the relationship with Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi and based on the result of the evaluation, believes that these entities are variable interest entities and that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities. Consequently, the Company has included the results of operations of these variable interest entities in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s relationships with Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are governed by a series of contractual arrangements. Under PRC laws, Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are independent legal persons and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties.

The accounts of Heilongjiang Shuaiyi, Daqing Shuaiyi and Harbin Shuaiyi are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. The Company does not have any non-controlling interests in net income and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in the VIEs that require consolidation of the Company’s and the VIEs’ financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets and the fair values of share-based payments.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management will write down the inventories to market value if it is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

  Useful Life
  (In years)
Buildings 20-40
Machinery and motor vehicles 5-10
Office equipment 5

10


Intangible assets

The Company’s intangible assets include a ten-year exclusive right to use a proprietary process and computer software. The Company’s amortization policy on intangible assets is as follows:

  Useful Life
  (In years)
Exclusive right 10
Computer software 4

The Company accounts for its intangible assets pursuant to FASB ASC Subtopic 350-30, “General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill”. Under ASC 350-30-35, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Under FASB ASU No.2012-02 Intangible-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The Company would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the qualitative assessment fails, intangibles with indefinite lives are further evaluated quantitatively for impairment by comparing the asset’s estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales revenue is recognized net of value added and sales related taxes, sales discounts and returns at the time when the merchandise is delivered to the customer. Based on historical experience, management estimates that sales returns are immaterial and has not recorded an allowance for estimated sales returns.

Share-based payments

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as expenses as the goods or services are received.

Income taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions where it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of FASB ASC 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). The interpretation prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

11


Foreign currency

The Company uses the United States dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The PRC subsidiaries and VIEs within the Company maintain their books and records in their functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the lawful currency in the PRC. Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are translated from RMB into US Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of 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.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are based on the rates as published on the website of People’s Bank of China and are as follows:

    June 30, 2015     December 31, 2014  
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts   US$1=RMB6.1136     US$1=RMB6.1190  
             
    Three months ended June 30,  
    2015     2014  
Items in the statements of income   US$1=RMB6.1203     US$1=RMB6.1581  
             
    Six months ended June 30,  
    2015     2014  
Items in the statements of income and cash flows   US$1=RMB6.1289     US$1=RMB6.1386  

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollars at the above rates. The value of RMB against US dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US Dollar reporting.

Segment reporting

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance.

The Company believes that during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, it operated in three business segments – growing and sales of Cordyceps Militaris, which is widely used for Chinese medicine, manufacturing and sale of functional health beverages featuring the Cordyceps Militaris as a core ingredient, and sales of organic and specialty products.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Ms. Lianyun Han and Mr. Robert Tick, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Ms. Lianyun Han and Mr. Robert Tick concluded that as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
