1. | Organization and principal activities |
Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd, “the Company”, was established in Weifang, Shandong of the People’s Republic of China, the PRC, as a limited company on March 8, 1996. The Company currently operates through itself and one subsidiary located in Mainland China: Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd., “Taihong”.
Taihong was established in Weifang, Shandong of the People’s Republic of China, the PRC, as a limited company on May 26, 2003. Pursuant to a group reorganization on September 14, 2007, the Company became the holding company of Taihong.
The Company and its subsidiary (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “the Group”) are engaged in the business of chick and feed production.
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The accompanying consolidated 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; however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars ($).
| (b) | Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars and include the accounts of the Company, Taihong, a subsidiary which the company has a 56.25% ownership. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company acquired its subsidiary on September 14, 2007 through a reorganization between entities under common control. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for similar to a pooling of interests in accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combination” Appendix D and is presented as if it had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. The following table depicts the identity of the subsidiary:
Name of Company | | Place & date of Incorporation | | Attributable Equity Interest % | | Registered Capital | | | |
Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd. | | PRC/ May 26 2003 | | | 56.25 | | $ | 965,379 | | | (RMB8,000,000 | ) |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
| (d) | Economic and political risks |
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings | 20 years |
Machinery | 10 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Furniture and equipment | 3 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible assets represent land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individual are authorized to possess and use the land only through land usage rights approved by the PRC government.

| 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
The Company accounts for its liability for product guaranteed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Under FIN 45, the aggregate changes in the liability for accruals related to product warranties issued during the reporting period must be charged to expense as incurred.
The Company guarantees a 98% survival rate of its product by delivering additional 2% of the product. The guarantee expires seven days after delivery. If the survival rate falls below 96%, the Company provides additional guarantee compensation to customers. Based on historical experience, the likelihood that survival rate falls below 96% is remote and therefore no accrued guarantee liability was recorded at period end. The Company records guarantee expense as incurred. There was no guarantee expense for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008.
| (h) | Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets |
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is done by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net 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 costs to sell. During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. At each balance sheet date, inventories that are worth less than cost are written down to their net realizable value, and the difference is charged to the cost of revenues of that period.
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Management adopted an allowance policy which provides an allowance equivalent to 30% gross amount of accounts receivables due over 6 months and 60% of gross amount of accounts receivables due over 1 year. Full provision will be made for accounts receivables due over 2 years. Bad debts are written off as incurred. It is a common industry practice in the PRC that customers pay in advance before delivery of the products. As a result, the Company maintains a low level of trade receivables.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
| (k) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts only in the PRC. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America. Cash deposits in PRC banks are not insured by any government agency or entity.
Revenue from sales of the Company's products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the third-party distributor and larger producers at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by them, the sales price is fixed or determinable as stated in the sales contract, and collection is reasonably assured.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of revenues.
The Group expensed all advertising costs as incurred. There was no advertising expenses for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008.
| (o) | Retirement benefit plans |
The employees of the Group are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC. The Group is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 were $5,843.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred 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 realization is uncertain.
The Company is operating in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the corporation income tax rate is 25%. However, the Company is a poultry company, and in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding the favorable tax treatment for an outstanding poultry company, the Company is entitled to a tax free treatment until January 31, 2008.
The corporate income tax for the subsidiary, Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd is 25%.
| (q) | Shipping and handling fees |
Shipping and handling fees are expensed when incurred. Shipping and handling charges included in the selling expenses for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008 was $5,330.
Minority interests refer to the 43.75% investment by third parties in the equity of Taihong and are not held by the Company.
| (s) | Foreign currency translation |
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
January 31, 2008 | | | |
Balance sheet | | | RMB 7.20180 to US$1.00 | |
Statement of income and comprehensive income | | | RMB 7.25883 to US$1.00 | |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
| (u) | Fair value of financial instruments |
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”) requires entities to disclose the fair values of financial instruments except when it is not practicable to do so. Under SFAS No. 107, it is not practicable to make this disclosure when the costs of formulating the estimated values exceed the benefit when considering how meaningful the information would be to financial statement users.
The fair values of all assets and liabilities do not differ materially from their carrying amounts. None of the financial instruments held are derivative financial instruments and none were acquired or held for trading purposes during the period for January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2008.
(v) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.

It is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 and notes thereto included in S-1 of Yuhe International, Inc.

2. Organization and Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
Yuhe International, Inc.
Yuhe International, Inc., formerly known as First Growth Investors Inc., “Yuhe” or “the Company”, was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 1997. Prior to March, 2008, the Company was not engaged in any business activities and had no operations, income producing assets or significant operating capital. At December 31, 2007, the Company was at development stage until its business combination with Bright Stand on March 12, 2008.

2. Organization and Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements - continued
On March 12, 2008, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Bright Stand International Co., Ltd., “Bright Stand”, and Kunio Yamamoto, a Japanese person and the sole former shareholder of Bright Stand. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bright Stand from Mr. Yamamoto in exchange for 126,857,134 shares, equivalent to 8,626,318 post-split shares, of its common stock. As a result of the transaction, Mr. Yamamoto held 126,857,134 shares, equivalent to 8,626,318 post-split shares, or 88.8 %, of our 142,857,134 shares, equivalent to 9,714,312 post-split shares, of common stock then outstanding following the completion of all matters referred to above. At the closing, Bright Stand became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, all references to common shares of Bright Stand’s common stock have been restated to reflect the equivalent numbers of Yuhe International, Inc. equivalent shares. Bright Stand thereby became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Bright Stand became the Company’s controlling stockholders.
This share exchange transaction resulted in Bright Stand former shareholders obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition with Bright Stand as the accounting acquiror and Yuhe International, Inc. as the acquired party. Accordingly, the share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company. The equity section of the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the recapitalization of the Company due to the reverse acquisition as of the first day of the first period presented. The assets and liabilities acquired that, for accounting purposes, were deemed to have been acquired by Bright Stand were not significant.
On March 12, 2008, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors, the “Financing”. Pursuant to the terms of such Securities Purchase Agreement, such investors collectively invested $18,000,000 into Yuhe at the price of $0.21, $3.088 post-split, per share in exchange for our issuance of 85,714,282 shares, equivalent to approximately 5,829,018 post-split shares, to such investors. Mr. Yamamoto also sold 14,285,710 shares of common stock, equivalent to 971,500 post-split shares, to such investors for $3,000,000. Immediately following the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Mr. Yamamoto owned 112,571,424 shares of our common stock, equivalent to 7,654,895 post-split shares,, and the investors owned 99,999,992 shares of our common stock, equivalent to 6,800,518 post-split shares,.

In connection with such private placement on March 12, 2008, as part of the compensation to the placement agents, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and WLT Brothers Capital, Inc., in connection with their services under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Roth Capital Partners, LLC and WLT Brothers Capital, Inc. warrants to acquire an aggregate of 6,999,999 shares of common stock, equivalent to 476,014 post-split shares, exercisable at any time after the date falling 6 months after their issuance.

The shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants have registration rights. In addition, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and WLT Brothers Capital, Inc. received cash compensation in the amount of $1.47 million.

Also, on March 12, 2008, our majority stockholder, Mr. Yamamoto, entered into an escrow agreement with the private placement investors. Mr. Yamamoto will deliver a certain number of shares of our common stock owned by him to the investors pro-rata in accordance with their respective investment amount for no additional consideration if:
| (i) | our after tax net income for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008 is less than $9,000,000 and fiscal year ending on December 31, 2009 is less than 95% of $13,000,000; and |
| (ii) | our earnings per share reported in the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2009 is less than $0.74 on a fully diluted basis, the “Low Performance Events”. |
Mr. Yamamoto has placed an aggregate of 49,411,763 shares of common stock, equivalent to 3,359,889 post-split shares, “Make Good Shares”, into an escrow account pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement by and among us, Mr. Yamamoto, the Investors and the escrow agent named therein.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books and records of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC, “PRC GAAP”, the accounting standards used in the place of their domicile. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with US GAAP.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Yuhe International, Inc, Bright Stand International Limited, Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd and Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd. after the date of acquisitions. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.
The following table depicts the identity of the subsidiary:
Name of Company | | Place & date of Incorporation | | Attributable Equity Interest % | | Registered Capital | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd | | PRC/ March 8, 1996 | | | 100 | % | $ | 11,045,467 | | equivalent to RMB 77,563,481 | |

Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd. | | PRC/ May 26 2003 | | | 100 | % | $ | 965,379 | | equivalent to RMB 8,000,000 | |
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(c) Intangible assets
Intangible assets represent land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all of the land in the PRC. Companies or individual are authorized to possess and use the land only through land usage rights approved by the PRC government.
(d) Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(e) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings | 20 years |
Machinery | 10 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Furniture and equipment | 3 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(f) Guarantee Expense
The Company accounts for its liability for product guaranteed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Under FIN 45, the aggregate changes in the liability for accruals related to product warranties issued during the reporting period must be charged to expense as incurred.
The Company guarantees a 98% survival rate of its product by delivering additional 2% of the product. The guarantee expires seven days after delivery. If the survival rate falls below 96%, the Company provides additional guarantee compensation to customers. Based on historical experience, the likelihood that survival rate falls below 96% is remote and therefore no accrued guarantee liability was recorded at year-end. Guarantee expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $6,009 and $0, respectively.
(g) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is done by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net 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 costs to sell. During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.

(h) Inventories
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. At each balance sheet date, inventories that are worth less than cost are written down to their net realizable value, and the difference is charged to the cost of revenues of that period.
(i) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Management adopted an allowance policy which provides an allowance equivalent to 30% of gross amount of accounts receivables due over 6 months and 60% of gross amount of accounts receivables due over 1 year. Full provision will be made for accounts receivables due over 2 years. Bad debts are written off as incurred. It is a common industry practice in the PRC that customers pay in advance prior to delivery of the products. As a result, the Company maintains a low level of trade receivables.
(j) Note receivables
Note receivables are stated at the original principal amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Management provides for an allowance when collection of the full amount is no longer probable by establishing an allowance equivalent to 30% of gross amount of notes receivables due over 6 months and 60% of gross amount of notes receivables due over 1 year. Full provision will be made for notes receivables due over 2 years.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts only in the PRC. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America. Cash deposits in PRC banks are not insured by any government agency or entity.
(l) Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the third-party distributor and larger producers at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by them, the sales price is fixed or determinable as stated in the sales contract, and collection is reasonably assured.
Customers do not have a general right of return on products delivered.
(m) Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of revenues.
(n) Advertising
The Group expensed all advertising costs as incurred. There were no advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies - continued
(o) Retirement benefit plans
The employees of the Group are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of the PRC. The Group is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $52,796 and $0 respectively.
(p) Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred 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 realization is uncertain.
The Group is operating in the PRC, and in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the corporation income tax rate is 25%. Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co., Ltd is a poultry company, and in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding the favorable tax treatment for an outstanding poultry company, the Company is entitled to a tax free treatment.
The corporate income tax for the subsidiary, Weifang Taihong Feed Co., Ltd is 25%.
(q) Shipping and handling fees
Shipping and handling fees are expensed when incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Shipping and handling charges included in the selling expenses were $7,913 and $0, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Shipping and handling charges included in the selling expenses were $3,021 and $0, respectively.
(r) Research and development
The Company engages in continuous research and development to improve its know-how in feed ingredient composition, immunization system and breeding techniques gained through over 10 years of business. Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The Company did not incur any research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
(s) Foreign currency translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
(t) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The component of comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustment.
(u) Fair value of financial instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”) requires entities to disclose the fair values of financial instruments except when it is not practicable to do so. Under SFAS No. 107, it is not practicable to make this disclosure when the costs of formulating the estimated values exceed the benefit when considering how meaningful the information would be to financial statement users.
The fair values of all assets and liabilities do not differ materially from their carrying amounts. None of the financial instruments held are derivative financial instruments and none were acquired or held for trading purposes during the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2006.
(v) Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.
Diluted earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the time of issuance, and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.

(w) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since FAS 161 only provides for additional disclosure requirements, there will be no impact on our results of operations and financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162"). This Standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Standard is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. FAS 162 is not expected to have an impact on the financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). This statement clarifies accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. SFAS 163 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2008. Because we do not issue financial guarantee insurance contracts, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an effect on our financial position or results of operations.

21. | Obligations under registration rights agreements |
The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain investors on March 12, 2008 in the private placement. The Company is required to file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 or any other appropriate form (i) within 60 days following the closing for purposes of registering the resale of these shares, (ii) within 15 days with respect to any additional registration statement, (iii) within 15 days with respect to any additional registration statements required to be filed due to SEC Restrictions, (iv) within 30 days following the date on which it becomes eligible to utilize Form S-3 to register the resale of common stock, or (v) within 45 days following the date the Make Good Shares are delivered by Mr. Yamamoto to the investors.
The Company will be required to pay the investors liquidated damages if it fails to file a registration statement by the above filing deadlines or if it does not promptly respond to comments received from the SEC. The liquidated damages accrue at a rate of 0.5% per month of the aggregate investment proceeds which are $18 million received from the investors, capped at 5% of the total investment proceeds, or $900,000. The Company filed the Registration Statement on May 12, 2008.
Based on the Company’s experience since filing its registration statement on May 12, 2008, the Company is in compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company believes that it is unlikely that it will be required to pay any liquidated damages under the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, and therefore has not recorded a liability for that potential obligation as at September 30, 2008.
On June 13, 2008, the Company granted to the Chief Financial Officer, the “CFO”, of the Company an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.708 per share for the 3 year’s employment. The options shall vest with respect to 33.3% of the total number of shares purchasable upon exercise thereof one year after the grant date and 33.3% on the second and third anniversary of the grant date, Mr. Hu will be fully vested in the option by that date and shall cease to vest if the executive cease to be the CFO of the Company for any reason.
On the same date, the Company granted to three independent directors of the Company an option to purchase 77,717 share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.708 per share for the 3 year’s employment. The options shall vest with respect to 33.3% of the total number of shares purchasable upon exercise thereof one year after the grant date and 33.3% on the second and third anniversary of the grant date, the directors will be fully vested in the option by that date and shall cease to vest for any independent director if such independent director ceases to be an independent directors of the Company for any reason.
The options granted to the CFO and the three independent directors will expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and cease to vest if they cease to be the CFO or independent directors of the company for any reason.
During the nine month ended September 30, 2008, the Company granted 383,151 stock options. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the period during which the grantee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only a service condition that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 109.40%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.00%. In determining volatility of the Company’s options, the Company used the average volatility of the Company’s stock. Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the entire option was valued at $2,186,499. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $183,707 and $217,652, respectively, in connection with the issuance of this option.

23. | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company estimated the fair value of each warrant award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the assumption noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatility of a peer group of publicly traded entities. The expected term of options gave consideration to historical exercises, post-vesting cancellations and the options’ contractual term. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity at the time of grant. The assumptions used to value options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were as follows:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 3% | |
Expected volatility | | | 109% | |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| (d) | Economic and political risks |
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings | 20 years |
Machinery | 10 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible assets represent land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. According to the laws of PRC, the government owns all of the land in PRC. Companies or individual are authorized to possess and use the land only through land usage rights approved by the PRC government.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
The Company accounts for its liability for product guaranteed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Under FIN 45, the aggregate changes in the liability for accruals related to product warranties issued during the reporting period must be charged to expense as incurred.
The Company guarantees a 98% survival rate of its product by delivering additional 2% of the product. The guarantee expires seven days after delivery. If the survival rate falls below 96%, the Company provides additional guarantee compensation to customers.

| (h) | Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets |
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net 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 costs to sell. During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. At each balance sheet date, inventories that are worth less than cost are written down to their net realizable value, and the difference is charged to the cost of revenues of that period.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Management adopted an allowance policy which provides an allowance equivalent to 30% of gross amount of accounts receivables due over 6 months and 60% of gross amount of accounts receivables due over 1 year. Full provision will be made for accounts receivables due over 2 years. Bad debts are written off as incurred. It is a common industry practice in the PRC that customers pay in advance prior to delivery of the products. As a result, the Company maintains a low level of trade receivables.
| (k) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts only in the PRC. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America. Cash deposits in PRC banks are not insured by any government agency or entity.
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the third-party distributor and larger producers at the time when the products are delivered to and accepted by them, the sales price is fixed or determinable as stated in the sales contract, and collection is reasonably assured.
Customers do not have a general right of return on products delivered.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of revenues.
The Group expensed all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $13,998 and $22,437 respectively.

(w) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value

Overview
We are in the middle of the broiler chicken supply chain. We purchase baby parent breeding stocks from primary breeder farms, raise them for hatching eggs and sell live day-old broilers to the market. Our business segment along the broiler supply chain has the highest margin along the supply chain. We produce high quality day-old broilers supported by our know-how in feed ingredient composition, immunization system and breeding techniques gained through over a decade experience.
Unless otherwise noted, all dollar figures provided herein are translated into United States Dollars from Renminbi at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.

Our Company History
Our company has an offshore holding structure commonly used by foreign investors with operations in China. We are a Nevada corporation which directly owns 100% of the securities of Bright Stand International Limited, or “Bright Stand”, an international business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Bright Stand directly owns 100% of the securities of PRC Yuhe, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise established under the laws of the PRC, and directly owns 43.75% and indirectly owns, through PRC Yuhe, the remaining 56.25% of the securities of Taihong, a foreign invested enterprise established under the laws of the PRC.
Mr. Kunio Yamamoto, Pinnacle Fund, L.P., Black River Small Capitalization Fund Ltd., Ardsley Partners Fund II, LP and Halter Financial Investments, L.P. are our significant shareholders. As of September 30, 2008, Mr. Yamamoto owned 49.2%, Pinnacle Fund, L.P. owned 15.6%, Black River Small Capitalization Fund Ltd. owned 14.6%, Ardsley Partners Fund II, LP owned 7.3% and Halter Financial Investments, L.P. owned 6.1% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock.
The following chart depicts our organizational structure:
We did not become engaged in the day-old broiler business until March 12, 2008. Effective March 12, 2008, we closed an Exchange Agreement with Bright Stand and Kunio Yamamoto, a citizen of Japan, the sole former shareholder of Bright Stand. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bright Stand from Mr. Yamamoto in exchange for 126,857,134 shares of our common stock, equivalent to 8,626,318 post-split shares. At the closing, Bright Stand became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Yamamoto owned 126,857,134 shares of our common stock, equivalent to 8,626,318 post-split shares.
Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we gained operating control over PRC Yuhe and Taihong. PRC Yuhe has been owned by Bright Stand since January 31, 2008. Taihong has been owned by PRC Yuhe and Bright Stand since January 31, 2008. Before the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we were known as First Growth Investors, Inc., and were originally formed for the purposes of buying, selling and investing in vintage wines, which was our business from 1997 through December 31, 2003. We had no operations from January 1, 2004 until the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
Effective April 4, 2008, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name from “First Growth Investors, Inc.” to “Yuhe International, Inc.”, and effect a 1-for-14.70596492 reverse stock split of our common stock. Our Board of Directors and shareholders approved the name change and the reverse stock split pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes. The name change became effective with NASDAQ’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on April 7, 2008, under the new stock symbol of “YUII.OB”.
On April 20, 2008, we appointed CCG Elite Investor Relations as our investor relations firm effective on May 1, 2008. On June 13, 2008, we appointed three independent directors and one non-independent director to our board of directors and formed an audit committee, compensation committee and nomination committee under our board of directors.
Our Business Operations
Our business is part of the commercial broiler supply chain.
Day-old broilers are one-day-old broilers that are sold to broiler raisers. Day-old broilers sold by our wholly owned subsidiary, PRC Yuhe, are our primary source of revenue.
We purchase parent breeding chickens from grandparent breeder farms and raise them to maturity. Once these parent breeding chickens have matured, they produce hatching eggs that we incubate and then sell the resulting day-old broilers chicks to our customers.
Under normal circumstances, female parent breeder chickens become productive from the 26th week, and are no longer commercially productive after the 66th week. Typically a breeder is capable of producing approximately 167 eggs which will be hatched to 137 broilers over its production lifetime and the breeders are maintained by us for a period of 420 days. We source our parent breeder chickens from licensed suppliers located in Beijing, and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces and these suppliers are required to have a vaccination certificate and a breeder production certificate for the sale of the breeders. Our hatching eggs typically must be incubated for a period of 21 days. At least 28 weeks usually pass from our receipt of a day-old parent breeder to our sale of the first day-old broiler.
We operate in two elements of the broiler supply chain: day-old broiler production and feed production. These activities are operated under two separate subsidiaries, PRC Yuhe and Taihong, respectively.
Competition
The market for day-old broilers in China is highly fragmented. Shandong Province has the highest number of day-old broilers in China.
Day-old broilers are very weak physically and need to be transported in closely controlled temperature conditions during delivery. Therefore, producers of broiler chicks usually only sell locally or to surrounding areas, which limits our current effective sales market and competition to North China.
Shandong Minhe Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., also located in Shandong Province, is one of our major competitors for sales of day-old broilers. They are slightly larger than us in terms of their annual day-old broiler production volume. Another regional competitor of ours is Jilin Deda, which is located in Jilin Province in north-eastern China and is smaller than us in terms of annual day-old broiler production volume. However, Jilin Deda is an integrated chicken company, so it does not generally sell day-old broilers to unaffiliated third parties.
Results of Operations
We have provided below a discussion of our results of operations, as a result of our control and ownership of our subsidiaries, PRC Yuhe and Taihong, and other factors. We have consolidated the results of PRC Yuhe and Taihong into our Consolidated Financial Statements from February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. For comparison purposes, we have provided a Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to provide comparable presentation to our reported results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We believe that providing this financial statement as if we had consolidated PRC Yuhe and Taihong may assist investors in assessing performance between periods and in developing expectations of future performance.

Net revenue
Sales revenue of $9.6 million represents sales of day-old broilers of $8.9 million with volume of 23.93 million, sales of broiler by-products of $0.49 million and sales of feed of $0.13 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Sales revenue decreased by $0.57 million, or 5.6%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly driven by the decrease in sales price of the day-old broilers sold,, from 4.37 RMB in average for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 2.57 RMB in average for the three months ended September 30, 2008, or a 41% decrease in sales price.. The monthly average price in July, August and September were 1.11, 2.71 and 3.21 RMB per day-old broiler. The average sales price in July was even lower than the unit cost for day-old broilers. The sharp price decline in July was a result of the temporarily closure of many chicken slaughters in North of China during June and July to conserve power supply for the Olympic game. After July, the volume increased from 16.5 million to 23.9 million, or by 45%, which compensated the decline of the selling price.
Sales revenue of broiler by-products is $ 0.49 million, or 5% of the total revenue. It consists of $0.12 million sales of eggs, $0.33 million sales of retired breeder, and $36,000 of others. Sales of broiler by-products increased $0.42 million, from $0.07 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $0.49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in sales volume of retired breeder stocks by 0.26 million kilograms.
Since almost all the products of Taihong were supplied to its parent, PRC Yuhe, revenue contributed from Taihong’s external sales comprised only approximately 1% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues amounted to approximately $7.1 million, or approximately 74% of our sales revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Our cost of revenues increased by $2.9 million, or 69%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The main reason for the increase in the cost of revenues was the rise in sales volume. In addition, the cost for retired breeders was included in cost for the three months ended September 30, 2008; there were no sales of retired breeders in the same period in 2007.
The unit cost per day-old broiler was 1.97 RMB for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 1.99 RMB for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The main reason for the decline of unit cost is due to the breeders experiencing peak productivity season in the third quarter 2008. The unit cost in the second quarter in fiscal year 2008 and 2007 is 2.29 RMB and 2.16 RMB individually.
As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of revenues increased by 33%, from 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues was due to the sharp decline in selling price in July as discussed above.
Gross profits
The gross profit amounted to approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Our gross profit decreased by $3.5 million to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from gross profit of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to 59% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in sales price of the day-old broilers which we discussed above.
General and administrative expenses
Our General and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $781,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. It comprised mainly of human resources and related expenses of approximately $94,000, representing 25% of total general and administrative expenses, utility expenses of $114,000, representing 17% of total general and administrative expenses, and transportation expenses of $19,000, representing 8% of total general and administrative expenses. In addition, there was approximately $238,000 professional fee to investor relation firm, legal consultants and audit fee. General and administrative expenses also include stock based compensation expense of $183,000.
The General and administrative expenses increased approximately $336,000, or 76%, to $781,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $445,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to public company related expense such as professional fee and stock based compensation expense.
Bad Debts Recovery
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, bad debts recovery was $554,188. Bad debts recovery represents recovery of other receivables previously written off.
Selling Expense
Our selling expenses amounted to approximately $136,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. It comprised mainly of packaging expenses of approximately $95,000, representing 73% of total selling expenses. Human resources and related expenses of approximately $15,000, representing 12% of total selling expenses, and travel expense of $17,000, representing 13% of total selling expenses.
Our selling expenses increased by $29,000, or 26%, to $136,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $107,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in selling expenses corresponds with the increase in sales volume from 16.5 million day-old broilers to 23.9 million day-old broilers. As a percentage of net revenues, selling expenses increased to 1.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 1.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Interest expenses
Interest expenses amounted to approximately $320,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Interest expenses consisted primarily of interest on bank loans. Interest expenses increased $151,000 to $320,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $169,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is partially attributable to the non-existence of some of the loans for the full period in 2007, resulting in lower interest expense for the comparable period in 2007. In addition, interest rates on some of the loans have increased compared to the same period in 2007. As we expect to extend or roll over the loans as they come due in the near future, the interest on bank loans will fluctuate depending on the interest rate environment.

PRC Yuhe was entitled to an exemption from Chinese enterprises income tax (EIT) as a poultry producer. As a result, PRC Yuhe incurred no income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, our other PRC subsidiary Taihong is subject to the enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Since Taihong has been operating at a loss, there was no tax expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Other income
Other income amounted to $93,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. It is related to refunds from suppliers of the parent breeder due to quality reason.
Net profit
Net profit amounted to approximately $1.93 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net profit decreased by $3.27 million to $1.93 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from net profit of $5.20 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as a result of the factors described above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
We have consolidated the results of PRC Yuhe and Taihong into our Consolidated Financial Statements from February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. For comparison purposes, we have provided a Consolidated Statement of Operations for both nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 to provide comparable presentation to our reported results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. We believe that providing this financial statement as if we had consolidated PRC Yuhe and Taihong may assist investors in assessing performance between periods and in developing expectations of future performance.

Net revenue (As reported). Sales revenue of $16.3 million represents sales of 37 million day-old broilers from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
Net revenue (Pro forma). Sales revenue increased by $1.59 million, or 9.8%, to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was driven by the increase in sales volume of 9 million day-old broilers, or 28%, from 32 million birds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 41 million birds for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in sales volume is partially offset by the decrease in selling price of day-old broilers from 3.6 RMB per bird for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to approximately 2.82 RMB per bird for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.. The increase in sales volume was a result of increase in the purchase of new breeder stock which has now grown up to reach maturity level in the third quarter of 2008. The price decline was primarily the result of the temporary closure of chicken slaughters in June and July we discussed above.
Cost of revenues (As reported). Our cost of revenues amounted to approximately $11.7 million, or representing approximately 72% of our sales revenue from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
Cost of revenues (Pro forma). Our cost of revenues increased by $3.9 million, or 42%, to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The main reason for the increase in the cost of revenues was the increase in sales volume. In addition, the cost for retired breeders was included in cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2008; there were no sales of retired breeders in the same period in 2007.
As a percentage of net revenues, the cost of revenues increased by 17%, from 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, to 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues was mainly due to a decrease in the day old broiler’s selling price in the third quarter, as we discussed above.
Gross profits (As reported). The gross profit amounted to approximately $4.6 million from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately 28.1% from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
Gross profit (Pro forma). Our gross profit decreased by $2.3 million to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to 43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in sales price of our day-old broilers which was discussed above.
General and administrative expenses (As reported). The General and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $1.5 million from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
General and administrative expenses (Pro forma). The General and administrative expenses increased $656,000, or 68%, to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $966,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the public company related expense in this fiscal year.
Bad Debts Recovery
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, bad debts recovery was approximately $641,000 (as reported) and $861.000 (pro forma). Bad debts recovery represents recovery of other receivables previously written off.
Selling Expenses (As reported). Our selling expenses amounted to $280,000 from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
Selling Expenses (Pro forma). Our selling expenses increased by $48,000, or 18%, to $309,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $262,000 for the same period in 2007. Selling expenses consisted of packaging expenses, payroll and traveling expenses. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to the increase in sales volume. As a percentage of net revenues, selling expenses remain at 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Interest expenses (As reported). Interest expenses amounted to approximately $763,000 from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. Interest expenses consisted primarily of interest on bank loans.
Interest expenses (Pro forma). Interest expenses increased $158,000 to $849,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $691,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Interest expenses consisted primarily of interest on bank loans. The increase in interest expense was due to $5.7 million of the $10.8 million bank loans not outstanding for the full nine months in 2007 while they were outstanding for the full nine months in 2008. Therefore, interest expense was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007.
Net profit (As reported). Net profit amounted to approximately $2.8 million from the period February 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, as a result of the factors described above.
Net profit (Pro forma). Net profit decreased by $2.0 million to $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as a result of the factors described above.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:
l | Inventory - Inventories consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. At each balance sheet date, inventories that are worth less than cost are written down to their net realizable value, and the difference is charged to the cost of revenues of that period. |
l | Trade receivable – Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. |
l | Plant and equipment - Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows: |
Buildings | 20 years |
Machinery | 1 – 10 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Furniture and equipment | 3 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
l | Valuation of long-lived assets - Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net 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 costs to sell. During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.
l | Intangible assets - Intangible assets represent land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of rights of 50 years commencing from the date of acquisition of equitable interest. According to the laws of PRC, the government owns all of the land in PRC. Companies or individual are authorized to possess and use the land only through land usage rights approved by the PRC government. |
l | Guarantee Expense - The Company accounts for its liability for product guaranteed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Under FIN 45, the aggregate changes in the liability for accruals related to product warranties issued during the reporting period must be charged to expense as incurred. |
The Company guarantees a 98% survival rate of its product by delivering additional 2% of the product. The guarantee expires seven days after delivery. If the survival rate falls below 98%, the Company provides additional guarantee compensation to customers. Based on historical experience, the likelihood that survival rate falls below 96% is remote and therefore no accrued guarantee liability was recorded at period end. The Company records guarantee expense as incurred.
l | Revenue recognition - Net revenue is recognized when third-party distributors and broiler farms and integrated chicken companies take delivery and acceptance of products. The Company treats both the distributors and broiler farms and integrated chicken companies as end customers. The price is fixed or determinable as stated in the sales contract, and the collectibility is reasonably assured. Customers do not have a general right of return on products delivered. |
l | Use of estimates- The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, other receivables, inventories, deferred income taxes, and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. |
l | Significant Estimates - Relating to Specific Financial Statement Accounts and Transactions Are Identified - The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory work in process valuation and obsolescence, depreciation, useful lives, taxes, contingencies, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock based compensation. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. |
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, the impact of inflation on PRC Yuhe and Taihong may not be readily recoverable in the prices of our products.
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
Our business has been subject to material seasonal variations in operations for the normal life cycle of 66 weeks of the breeder stock. Breeder stock produced eggs at their mature stage, around weeks 28 - 60 and therefore, our business will have seasonal variation on the early and aged stage of the breeder stock. In addition, we normally raised a new batch of breeder stock after the aged breeder stock retires and is sold. This impact of seasonality can be resolved when we expand our batches of breeder stocks.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Messrs. Gao Zhentao and Hu Gang, 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 10-Q, 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 the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Gao and Hu concluded that as of September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at that reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
In May 2008, Li Yu filed a claim against PRC Yuhe, Taihong and Yuhe Group claiming RMB 2,400,000, approximately equivalent to $360,000, arising from an alleged RMB 10,000,000, or approximately equivalent to $1,500,000, loan agreement dated October 31, 2007 entered into among Li Yu, as the lender, PRC Yuhe, Taihong, Yuhe Group, and Gao Zhentao. However, due to Li Yu’s failure to transfer the loan amount to the borrowers timely, PRC Yuhe and Taihong could not utilize the loan amount. As a result of the late remittance of funds, Yuhe Group has agreed to borrow and take over the RMB 10,000,000, approximately equivalent to $1,500,000, loan from PRC Yuhe and Taihong pursuant to a Capital Transfer Agreement dated November 28, 2007 by and among PRC Yuhe, Taihong and Yuhe Group. Yuhe Group has already repaid RMB 9,200,000, approximately equivalent to $1,380,000, to Li Yu.
With respect to the claim filed by Li Yu, while it appears that RMB 800,000, approximately equivalent to $120,000, remains unpaid under the loan agreement, Li Yu has claimed RMB 2,400,000, approximately equivalent to $360,000, without explaining his basis. In addition to litigating over venue, the borrowers claimed that the loan agreement was forged and counterclaimed losses due to Li Yu's failure to transfer the loan amount to the borrowers timely. The Court has not handed down any judgment yet. Management of the Company believes Li Yu's claim is not valid and if there is an adverse judgment, Yuhe Group has to pay such judgment pursuant to the Capital Transfer Agreement.
To our knowledge, no director, officer or affiliate of ours, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent, 5%, of our securities, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in reference to pending litigation.
