Certain payables previously classified as Accounts Payable are now classified as Due to Related Parties.
ESTIMATES

Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates in fiscal years 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, valuation of inventories, the useful life of property, plant and equipment and land use rights.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization expenses for intangible assets amounted to $32,215 and $32,816, respectively.
LONG - LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for possible impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less related costs to sell.

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in our income, subject to anti-dilution limitations.
The following table represents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs as a component of selling expenses.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", and are included in determining net income or loss.
For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss. At December 31, 2008 and prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the exchange rates for the Chinese Renminbi, also referred to as the Chinese dollar (“RMB”), for 1 United States dollar were 6.8542 and 6.8718, respectively.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and China. At December 31, 2008, the Company, held a total of $909,751 in bank deposits. Of this amount $899,197 is held in China, and $10,554 is held in the U.S. The cash balance of $899,197 held in bank deposits in China is not insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2008. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, deferred expenses, advance on purchases, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to related parties, advance from customers, and loans approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 161 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted FSP APB 14-1 as of the first quarter of fiscal 2009, this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating any impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
On September 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, as well as the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. Statement 157 was issued in September 2006, and is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted SFAS 157-3 and determined that it had no impact as of December 31, 2008, and we will continue to evaluate the impact, if any, of SFAS 157-3 on our 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 consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Since the local currency for all of our net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is the Chinese Renminbi, also referred to as the Chinese dollar (“RMB”), how we report net revenues from our operations based in China is of particular importance to understanding our financial statements. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", and are included in determining net income or loss. For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective balance sheet date.
Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss.
The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the RMB. The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period and rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented. Since 1994, the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar has remained relatively stable; appreciating slightly against the U.S. dollar. On July 21, 2005, the PRC announced that the Renminbi would be pegged to a basket of currencies rather than tied to a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar.
If any devaluation of the RMB were to occur in the future, returns on our operations in China, which are expected to be in the form of Renminbi, will be negatively impacted upon conversion to U.S. dollars. Although we attempt to have most future payments, mainly repayments of loans and capital contributions denominated in U.S. dollars, if any decrease in the value of the Renminbi were to occur in the future, our product sales in China and in other countries may be negatively affected.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include inventory valuation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of equity instruments, the useful life of property, plant and equipment and value of land use rights.
Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method.
Our financial instruments at December 31, 2008 contain accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt. The fair values of financial instruments approximate their recorded values.
We review the carrying value of property and equipment and land-use rights for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 161 and the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement . FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants . Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
On September 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, as well as the impact of the adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. Statement 157 was issued in September 2006, and is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted SFAS 157-3 and determined that it had no impact as of December 31, 2008, and we will continue to evaluate the impact, if any, of SFAS 157-3 on our financial statements.
During the three months ended December 31, 2008, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies that impacted our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

REVENUES
Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were down $7,395,769 or approximately 56.64%, decreasing from $13,056,527 for the three months ending December 31, 2007 to $5,660,758 for the three months ending December 31, 2008.
Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008 were down $5,510,281 or approximately 26.26%, decreasing from $20,986,025 for the six months ending December 31, 2007 to $15,475,744 for the six months ending December 31, 2008.
Pulp and Paper Segment
Wellton represents our pulp and paper segment; this segment contributed $4,190,243 in revenue this quarter, or approximately 74% of total revenues. Segment revenues decreased $6,988,231 or 63%, from $11,178,474 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 to $4,190,243 for the same period in the current fiscal year. We experienced a sharp decrease in sales orders in December of 2008. This decrease is primarily due to tightened credit markets as a result of the global economic crisis. Clients of our pulp and paper segment have been negatively impacted as a result of the lack of credit available. We are unable to predict when the credit markets will improve, and we do not expect our business will improve until our customers have access to credit.
Packaging Segment
Shanghai JinKui and Ningbo Dragon and its subsidiaries make up our packaging segment; this segment contributed $1,470,515, or approximately 26% of total revenues. Segment revenues decreased $407,538 or 22%, from $1,878,053 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 to $1,470,515 for the same period in the current fiscal year.
Similar to our Pulp and Paper segment, we note the decrease in revenue in this segment during the quarter is mainly due to the economic slowdown and lower worldwide demand for the products we package. We are unable to predict when the credit markets will improve, and we do not expect our business will improve until our customers have access to credit.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Our consolidated cost of sales decreased $7,169,211, or 59.14%, from $12,122,988 during the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $4,953,777 during the three months ended December 31, 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased between periods, from 93% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to 88% for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues contributed to our positive gross profit during the current fiscal year and positive net income.
Consolidated gross profit decreased $226,558, from a gross loss of $933,539 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to a gross profit of $706,981 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased from 7% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to 12% for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Our consolidated cost of sales decreased $5,433,027, or 27.93%, from $19,454,321 during the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $14,021,294 during the six months ended December 31, 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased between periods, from 93% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to 91% for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues contributed to our positive gross profit during the current fiscal year and positive net income.
Consolidated gross profit decreased $77,254, from $1,531,704 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $1,454,450 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased 7% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to 9% for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Pulp and Paper Segment
Gross Profit decreased $261,885 or 41%, from $645,177 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $383,292 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased from 5.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to 9.1% during the current quarter.
Packaging Segment
Gross profit increased $35,327, or 12%, from $288,362 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $323, 689 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased from 15.4% during the second quarter of the prior year to 22.0% during the current quarter; this increase is largely due to increased efficiencies in the production process. This segment continues to focus on higher margin pharmaceutical products; even with the decrease in revenues for this segment, gross margin continued to grow and is significantly higher than our Pulp and Paper segment.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses increased $118,748, or 31.11%, from $381,716 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $500,464 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenues increased from 3% the in the prior fiscal year to 9% during the current fiscal year.
Total operating expenses increased $462,012, or 57.15%, from $808,363 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $1,270,375 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenues increased from 4% the in the prior fiscal year to 8% during the current fiscal year.
Selling expenses increased $70, 737, or 76%, from $92,716 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $163,453 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 1% during the second quarter in the prior year to 3% in the current quarter. This increase is primarily due to an increase in commissions paid for Wellton agents.
General and administrative expenses increased $48,011 or 17% from $289,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $337,011 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 2% during the second quarter in the prior year to 6% in the current quarter. The increase is due primarily to a $93,750 expense related to the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a consulting agreement.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
We reported total other expense of $53,477 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, representing a decrease of $1,650,421 from total other income of $1,596,944 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Also, we reported total other expense of $173,611 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, representing a decrease of $1,748,457 from total other income of $1,574,846 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
In fiscal 2008, we recognized a one-time gain of approximately $1.6 million related to a reversal of a tax liability for amounts which had previously been accrued. This one-time gain was recognized during the three month period ended December 31, 2007 and did not impact the current periods ended December 31, 2008. Further, interest expense increased $147,158; this increase is primarily due to an increase in average interest rates on our outstanding notes and an increase in our notes payable balance.
For the six months ended December 31, 2008 we reported a net loss of $1,882; this represents a $1,961,232 decrease compared to the prior year’s six months ended December 31, 2007 net income of $1,959,410.
For the three months ended December 31, 2008 we reported net income of $147,066; this represents a $1,829,692 decrease compared to the prior year’s three months ended December 31, 2007 net income of $1,976,758.
The decrease in our net income between the periods is due to decreased sales as a result of the global economic crisis, and increased interest expense. The decrease is also due to the absence of the impact of the one-time gain during the three month period ended December 31, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2008 our working capital was approximately $5.6 million as compared to approximately $5.1 million at June 30, 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, we had $909,751 in unrestricted cash and an accumulated deficit since inception of ($1,802,665). Our restricted cash balance at December 31, 2008, totaled $0.
Cash provided from operating activities totaled $1,222,896 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to cash used in operating activities for the same period of the preceding year of $431,551. This overall increase in cash provided by operating activities of $1,654,447 was primarily attributable to efficient cash management relating to collection of accounts receivable and payments on accounts payable. The largest sources of cash include funding from the following: $6,131,826 from collection of accounts receivable and $1,350,392 from the decrease of inventory. These sources of cash were offset primarily by the following uses of cash: $5,167,049 to pay down accounts payable, and $841,676 increase in advance on purchases.
We used $280,917 of cash for investing activities during the period, all of which related to capital expenditures. We also used $245,676 of cash from financing activities for related party payments to Kung Ming (“Eric”) Kuo.
We have historically supplemented our operational cash flow, as needed, through PRC based bank borrowings. These borrowings have been primarily with the Agricultural Bank of China and the Bank of Communications. The level of these borrowings remained relatively stable totaling $5,584,919 as of December 31, 2008, increasing slightly from $5,498,220 at June 30, 2008. We believe our relationship with these banks remains good and we will be able to replace or renew these loans as they become due. We are current with our payment obligations relating to these loans. Our inability to renew these obligations as they become due or find alternate sources of funding will adversely affect our operations.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition material to our shareholders. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management's plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will" and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under Item 1. Description of Business--Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008:
The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or the loss of services of any of our key persons responsible for the management, sales, marketing and operations efforts of our subsidiaries; our ability to successfully transition the internal operations of companies which we acquired in the PRC from their prior status as privately held Chinese companies to their current status as subsidiaries of a publicly-held U.S. company; our acquisition efforts in the future may result in significant dilution to existing holders of our securities; difficulties in raising capital in the future as a result of the terms of our January 2007 financing; our ability to effectively integrate our acquisitions and manage our growth; the lack of various legal protections customary in certain agreements to which we are party and which are material to our operations which are customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the United States; our dependence upon advisory services provided by a U.S. company due to our management’s location in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”); intense competition in the packaging products and paperboard industries; the demand for our products is dependent upon the demand for the industry which we supply, the impact of economic downturn in the PRC on our revenues from our operations in the PRC; the impact of changes in the political and economic policies and reforms of the Chinese government; fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollars and Chinese Renminbi; the limitation on our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively as a result of restrictions on currency exchange in China; the impact of changes to the tax structure in the PRC; our inability to enforce our legal rights in China due to policies regarding the regulation of foreign investments; and the existence of extended payment terms which are customary in China; uncertainties related to PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities that could restrict or limit our ability to operate, and could negatively affect our acquisition strategy.
We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as of September 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the significant deficiency and the material weakness described below. Measures are being taken to include documentation of management oversight and review as part of the appropriate functional procedures.
All of our employees and the bulk of accounting staff are located in the PRC and we do not presently have a Chief Financial Officer, comptroller or similarly titled senior financial officer who is bilingual and experienced in the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. During fiscal 2006 we began a search for an appropriate candidate who can fill such a position; however, as of February 2009, the Company has not engaged one and we are unable to predict when such a person will be hired. During fiscal 2006 we also began providing additional training to our accounting staff in the application of U.S. GAAP. As a result, our management believes that a deficiency in our internal controls continues to exist. Until we expand our staff to include a bilingual senior financial officer who has the requisite experience necessary, and supplement the accounting knowledge of our staff, it is likely that we will continue to have material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
Restatement of Financial Statements.
The financial statements for fiscal 2007 have been restated to correct the accounting treatment previously accorded certain transactions.
For fiscal 2007, we filed financial statements wherein we erroneously presented the decrease of restricted cash as an investing activity in our statement of cash flows. We are now presenting this item as a financing activity, in accordance with SAS 95 “Statement of Cash Flows”. This error did not affect the balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, or the statements of operations for the six month period ended December 31, 2007. This error did not affect the statements of cash flows for the six month period ended December 31, 2007.
For fiscal 2007 we erroneously did not value the reduction in exercise price of existing warrants associated with an induced conversion offer. The value of the reduction in exercise price has been calculated at $447,238, and was reflected in the statement of operations as an increase in interest expense, and a resultant increase in net loss and net loss per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Company had recorded the valuation of the reduction in exercise price as an increase in additional paid-in capital.
For fiscal 2007 we erroneously deferred, over a three year period commencing in January 2006, $540,000 in consulting expense related to the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock and $395,675 related to the issuance of 4,700,000 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $0.15 per share over a five year period. In addition, in February 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for five years at $.15 per share, as compensation pursuant to a one year financial advisory consulting agreement. The Company had incorrectly deferred the fair value of these warrants of $71,243 over the contract term. The Company has restated the related financial statements to recognize the full expense of these agreements immediately upon entering into the consulting agreements in January 2006 and February 2006, under the provisions of EITF 96-18 and SFAS 123R. These corrections resulted in an increase in consulting expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and a reduction in consulting expense for subsequent periods, as detailed in the tables below.
In March 2007, pursuant to a consulting agreement, we issued 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. Initially, we had recorded and reported this issuance incorrectly as a cost of raising capital related to the private placement of $1,500,000 in units sold during the quarter. We restated the financial statements to recognize the full expense of this agreement immediately upon entering into the consulting agreement in March 2007 under the provisions of EITF 96-18 and SFAS 123. This correction resulted in an increase in our accumulated deficit for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 of $360,000.
Other than the items discussed above there have been 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.

In October, 2008 the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock, assigned to H.K. Mingtai Investment Co., Ltd. as partial payment of our acquisition of Shanghai JinKui. The shares were issued upon the request of Haobo Zhu and Shaobo Ouyang, former shareholders of Shanghai JinKui, as contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of Shanghai JinKui. Pursuant to section 1.2 of the stock purchase agreement entered into by and among Dragon Nevada and Shanghai JinKui dated June 10, 2006, filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we agreed to a contingent payment of additional shares related to the purchase, based on Shanghai JinKui achieving specified net income targets subsequent to the purchase. The fulfillment of the contingent conditions has been in dispute since December 31, 2006; specifically, the parties have disagreed regarding the definition of net income. On October 13, 2008 the parties reached an agreement to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $300,000. In accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” we accounted for the additional shares as part of the purchase price of Shanghai JinKui when the contingency was resolved and additional consideration was distributed. We valued the additional consideration at fair value based on the market price of $0.03 per share on the date of issuance. It should be noted that no further consideration in is dispute or due.
These shares were issued in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The offering and sale of the common stock in this transaction qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Act”), since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. The investor was an accredited investor and had an opportunity to ask questions of our management. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since it agreed to, and received, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted. This restriction ensures that these shares will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not part of a public offering. Based on the analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act for this transaction.
