BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, all significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and notes thereto contained on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for our full fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between the periods presented. Certain payables previously classified as Accounts Payable are now classified as Due to Related Parties.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 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.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2009, the Company maintained a cash balance of $96,217. Of this amount $96,123 is held in China, and $94 is held in the U.S.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off against the allowance when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $552,105 at March 31, 2009 and $441,730 at June 30, 2008.
INVENTORIES
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods related to the Company's products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company recognizes the value and amortizes intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with their various acquisitions, including goodwill. The Company amortizes these assets based on the expected useful lives of these assets, based on Company management projecting forward future revenue and expense streams related to these acquired assets. If no expected useful life can be determined, as is the case with goodwill, the Company will test the asset for impairment on an annual basis. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, amortization expenses for intangible assets amounted to $48,570 and $98,368, respectively.

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. To the extent carrying values exceed fair values; an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company adopted FAS No.123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
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:
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | | For the Nine Months Ended March 31, | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net Income (Loss) for basic and diluted earnings per share | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Earnings (loss) per share - basic | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Earnings (loss) per share -diluted | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Unexercised warrants of 19,940 and 22,574 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 are anti-dilutive and are not included in the calculation of the denominator of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 and Topic 13 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 March 31, 2009 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 6.8456 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 March 31, 2009, the Company, held a total of $96,217 in bank deposits. Of this amount $96,123 is held in China, and $94 is held in the U.S. The cash balance of $96,123 held in bank deposits in China is not insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through March 31, 2009. 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 December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations". SFAS 141R is a revision to SFAS 141 and includes substantial changes to the acquisition method used to account for business combinations (formerly the "purchase accounting" method), including broadening the definition of a business, as well as revisions to accounting methods for contingent consideration and other contingencies related to the acquired business, accounting for transaction costs, and accounting for adjustments to provisional amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirement of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and will apply to all business combinations occurring after the effective date. The Company has adopted SFAS 141 effective January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements" ("ARB 51"). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish new standards that will govern the (1) accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest will be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Losses will be allocated to the non-controlling interest, and, if control is maintained, changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted and evaluated SFAS 160 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard 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. The Company has evaluated SFAS 161 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
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 non-convertible 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 2010, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company has evaluated FSP APB 14-1 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
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 June 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. The Company has adopted and evaluated FSP 03-6-1 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

The value of the land use rights remained constant in the local currency of RMB, the change in the valuation as it relates to U.S. dollars is associated with the currency fluctuation.
In connection with the acquisition of Shanghai JinKui on June 30, 2006, we settled a previously disputed contingent consideration payment in October, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” we accounted for the additional shares as part of the purchase price and allocated the amount to goodwill when the contingency was resolved and additional consideration was distributable.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Wellton International Fiber Corp. ("Wellton")
Our Pulp and Paper segment was discontinued as of March 31, 2009 and was sold effective as of March 31, 2009. Dragon Nevada acquired a 51% interest on June 29, 2007 and acquired the remaining 49% interest in Wellton on October 1, 2007. Wellton was formed in February 2002 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and operates as an agent and supplier of paper pulp, waste paper, and recycled paper products. We discontinued this segment during the three months ended March 31, 2009 when we entered into an agreement with York Smooth Limited, the former shareholder of Wellton, pursuant to which we transferred all of our rights, title and interest in Wellton to York Smooth, Limited in exchange for 6,247,115 shares of our common stock. As a result 6,247,115 shares of the company’s common stock held by York Smooth, Limited will be cancelled.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Since the local currency for all of our net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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, work in progress, 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 March 31, 2009 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, goodwill, 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 December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations". SFAS 141R is a revision to SFAS 141 and includes substantial changes to the acquisition method used to account for business combinations (formerly the "purchase accounting" method), including broadening the definition of a business, as well as revisions to accounting methods for contingent consideration and other contingencies related to the acquired business, accounting for transaction costs, and accounting for adjustments to provisional amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirement of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and will apply to all business combinations occurring after the effective date. The Company has adopted SFAS 141 effective January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements" ("ARB 51"). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish new standards that will govern the (1) accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest will be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Losses will be allocated to the non-controlling interest, and, if control is maintained, changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted and evaluated SFAS 160 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard 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. The Company has evaluated SFAS 161 and determined that there were no impact as of March 31, 2009.
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 non-convertible 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. The Company has evaluated FSP APB 14-1 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
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 June 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. The Company has adopted and evaluated FSP 03-6-1 and determined that there was no impact as of March 31, 2009.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 and Topic 13 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
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our consolidated net revenues were $1,347,775 as compared to $1,779,312 for the three months ending March 31, 2008, a $431,537 decrease, or approximately 24.3%.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, our consolidated net revenues were $4,192,838 as compared to $4,543,867 for the nine months ending March 31, 2008, a $351,029 decrease, or approximately 7.7%.
The decline in our net revenues was mainly due to the economic slowdown and lower worldwide demand for packaging products. We are unable to predict when conditions will improve, and if conditions do improve we do not expect our business will improve until our customers have access to credit.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased between periods, from 82.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 107.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues resulted in our gross profit decrease from $312,653 to a gross operating loss of $97,822 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased between periods, from 82.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to 88.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
The decline in our gross profits were mainly due to fixed overhead costs included in our total cost of sales, therefore our decrease in sales volume had a negative impact on our gross profit margins for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses decreased $74,644, or 14.1%, from $529,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $454,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenues increased from 29.73% to 33.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Total operating expenses increased $287,595, or 34.0%, from $847,037 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,134,632 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenues increased from 29.7% to 33.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. .
Selling expenses increased $17,637, or 52%, from $33,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $51,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 1.9% to 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased $10, 219 or 2.9% from $355,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $365,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 20.0% to 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
We reported total other expense of $163,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing a increase of $310,480 from total other income of $146,809 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Also, we reported total other expense of $327,223 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, representing a increase of $296,881 from total other expense of $30,342 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
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 March 31, 2009. 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.
TOTAL INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCOUNTINUNED OPERATION
We reported a loss of $3.1 million and $2.8 million from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009. We recognized a loss on the disposition of our discontinued operations of $2,385,004 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009.
For the three and nine months ended March, 2009 we reported a net loss of $3,783,432 and $3,785,254, respectively, compared to net income of $237,994 and $2,197,404 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.
The decrease in our net income between the periods is mainly due to the decline in net revenues caused by the global economic crisis, increased interest expense, and the loss related to our discontinued operations of $3,062,993 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
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 March 31, 2009 our working capital was approximately $1.8 million as compared to approximately $5.1 million at June 30, 2008.
As of March 31, 2009, we had $96,217 in cash and an accumulated deficit since inception of $5,586,098. We had no restricted cash balance at March 31, 2009.
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $235,774 and was mainly comprised of our loss from operations of $1.0 million, advances on purchases of $1.4 million, and a decrease in other payables of $195,164, these were offset by a decrease in accounts receivables of $1.3 million, a decrease in inventories of $276,645, and non cash charges of $701,399 which included depreciation and amortization expense of $262,800, stock based compensation of $330,000 and allowances for doubtful accounts of $108,599.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 cash used in operating activities was $1,398,495 and was mainly comprised of an increase in inventories of $1.3 million, a decrease on advances on purchases of $1.1 million, and a decrease in accounts payables of $605,367. These were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $824,725 and a decrease in notes receivable of $419,511 and the non cash charges adjustments of depreciation and amortization of $420,165.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 cash used in investing activities was $164,426 related to capital expenditures, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $644,484 related to capital expenditures during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
Cash provided by financing activities of $356,230 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was mainly comprised of proceeds from notes payables, exercise of warrants, and a reduction in restricted cash. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,192,849 related to proceeds of notes payable.
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. 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.
Our Pulp and Paper segment was discontinued as of March 31, 2009 and was sold effective as of that date. Dragon Nevada acquired a 51% interest on June 29, 2007 and acquired the remaining 49% interest in Wellton on October 1, 2007. We entered into an agreement with York Smooth Limited, the former shareholder of Wellton, pursuant to which we transferred all of our rights, title and interest in Wellton to York Smooth, Limited in exchange for 6,247,115 shares of our common stock. As a result 6,247,115 shares of the Company’s common stock held by York Smooth, Limited will be cancelled. As of March 31, 2009, we recorded a loss on sales of discontinued operations of $2,385,004. We recorded a loss of from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 of $672,989 and $390,980, respectively.
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; our dependence upon one industry and segment of that industry; 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 People's 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.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 May 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. In general there is a lack of accountants in the PRC that meet our qualifications of being bilingual and well practiced in U.S. GAAP. The lack of qualified accountants, coupled with the fact that the few accountants in the PRC that are bilingual and well practiced in U.S. GAAP demand a compensation package which far exceeds our financial resources, have been the principal impediments to our fulfillment of such position with an appropriate candidate. During fiscal 2006 we also began providing additional training to our accounting staff in the application of U.S. GAAP. In 2008, we engaged a consulting firm to assist in the creation, implementation and testing of internal controls, including disclosure controls and procedures. In addition to performing test work in the PRC, the consulting firm trained and assisted our accounting staff as to appropriate processes and procedures. However, 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.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
None
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and future results of operations. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008
If we were to lose the services of any of our executive officers, our business and operations would be materially adversely affected.
Our success is largely dependent on the personal efforts of our executive officers, specifically David Wu, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the board of directors and Ms. Xiali Gan, our Chief Financial Officer and director, The loss of the services of either of these members of management would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. In addition, in order for us to undertake our operations as contemplated, it will be necessary for us to locate and hire experienced personnel. Our failure to attract and retain such experienced personnel on acceptable terms will have a material adverse impact on our ability to grow our business.
If we were to lose the services of key persons responsible for the management, sales, marketing and operations efforts of our subsidiaries, our business and operations would be materially adversely affected.
Our success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and operational expertise of key personnel at our subsidiaries who perform key functions in the operation of our business. Specifically we have identified Mr. Zhongming Yang, the vice general manager of our Yongxin subsidiary and Mr. Feng Yang, vice general manager of our Jin Kui subsidiary, as key employees. Mr. David Wu, our President, CEO and Chairman, is the general manager of our Dragon Packaging subsidiary, our Ningbo Dragon subsidiary, and our Yonglongxin subsidiary. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these officers as our employees. The loss of these officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, and results of operations and the results of operations at these subsidiaries could be adversely impacted.
While our goal is to both expand our operations within the PRC as well as to countries outside the PRC, in the foreseeable future our growth and success will remain tied to our existing operations in the PRC. We derive substantially all of our revenue from operations in China. As a result, economic, political and legal developments in China have a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our future prospects. In recent years China has been a fast growing economy. However, such growth may not be sustained in the future. Moreover, slowdown in other economies may cause a slowdown in the Chinese economy. Our financial results could be materially and adversely affected by an economic downturn in China.
Demand for our products is substantially dependent upon the demand for the industry to which we supply products.
Demand for packaging materials is directly related to the demand for the products we package. For example, China and other global markets have witnessed an increase in demand for pharmaceutical products; therefore, demand for pharmaceutical packaging has similarly increased. Accordingly, we have shifted our focus towards the pharmaceutical industry and away from the tobacco industry. While we believe that the demand for pharmaceutical packaging will continue as pharmaceutical products become more advanced and require increased protection in the form of packaging, there can be no assurance that such demand will continue or if that it does continue that customers continue to purchase our products. If such demand for pharmaceutical products should decrease, we expect demand for our product to decrease which may require us to once again shift our focus in order to maintain our revenue levels. There can be no assurance that we will be able to shift our focus and even if we are able to shift our focus that we will be able to do so successfully.
Our business is substantially dependent upon the paper industry in general.
All of our revenue is derived from the manufacture and supply of paper products. If there were to be a shortage of pulp or an oversupply of paper products our business would suffer.
We have discontinued the operations of Wellton, and are now solely dependent upon one segment of the paper industry.
We are no longer as diversified as we were in the past and currently evaluate our business and our products in one segment, the packaging segment. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and until March 31, 2009, we evaluated our business and products in two segments: pulp and paper and packaging. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we derived 87% of our revenue from the operations of Wellton. As of March 31, 2009, due to the economic crisis, we discontinued the operations of Wellton and transferred all of our right, title and interest in Wellton to its previous owner. Therefore our business is now entirely dependent upon the packaging segment. If demand for our packaging products should suffer, our financial results would be harmed.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
On January 13, 2009 we issued 2,554,750 shares of common stock to Capital One Resource Co., Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of China Direct Industries, Inc. as payment of interest on an outstanding laon in the amount of $1,021,272.
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
