| The warrants issued in the above transactions do not meet all of the established criteria for equity classification in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and accordingly, are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each period. |
| |
| The warrants are valued using the Black/Scholes pricing model because that model embodies all of the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions used to value the warrants as of their inception included the following: |
| | Mar. 7, 2011 | | | Mar. 17, 2011 | | | Mar. 31, 2011 | |
Exercise Price | | $ | 4.00 | | | $ | 4.00 | | | $ | 4.00 | |
Term (years) | | | 3.00 | | | | 3.00 | | | | 2.94 | |
Volatility | | | 110.83 | % | | | 119.39 | % | | | 122.25 | % |
Annual Rate of Quarterly Dividends | | | 0.00 | % | | | 0.00 | % | | | 0.00 | % |
Discount Rate - Bond Equivalent Yield | | | 1.22 | % | | | 1.05 | % | | | 1.29 | % |
| Since the Company’s common stock has limited trading history, the Company estimated volatility using historical volatility of comparable companies in the industry. For the risk-free rates of return, the Company used the published yields on zero-coupon Treasury Securities with maturities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants. |
| |
| The change in fair value of the warrants is recognized in the statement of operations each period. During the three months ended March 31 2011, the change in fair value was as follows: |
| | Issuance Date | | | | |
| | Mar. 2011 | | | Nov. 2010 | | | Total | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Value at December 31, 2010 | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,480,261 | | | $ | 1,480,261 | |
Plus: inception value of March 2011 warrants | | | 323,501 | | | | — | | | | 323,501 | |
Less: value at March 31, 2011 | | | (157,376 | ) | | | (736,393 | ) | | | (893,769 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gain on derivative financial instruments | | $ | 166,125 | | | $ | 743,868 | | | $ | 909,993 | |
| Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. |

14. | Loans payable (continued): |
| | |
| (c) | Convertible loan |
| | |
| | On March 1, 2010, the Company issued unsecured debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 to 11 investors. The Company received net proceeds of $555,000, which were designated to pay legal, accounting, and other costs associated with the Reverse Merger Transaction and the Financing. The debentures bore interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and matured on the earlier of September 30, 2010 or the completion of a financing of at least $10,000,000 by the Company. The debentures were convertible, at the sole option of the holder, into shares of the Company at a price equal to a 25% discount to the price of any new financing. Each debenture holder was also to receive the equivalent of one share of the public entity for each dollar invested in the debenture. |
| | |
| | At inception, the Company recorded the debentures at a value of $555,000, being the face value of $650,000, less commissions paid of $95,000. The commissions were amortized over the life of the debentures to general and administrative expense. The Company recorded an expense to amortize the commissions in the amount of $13,380 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
| | |
| | The fair value of the conversion option was not recorded at inception because it was contingent upon the Company completing both the Public Transaction and a subsequent financing. Based on the Company’s final valuation in the Reverse Merger Transaction, the estimated value of the conversion option, being its intrinsic value, was $216,667. This estimated value is based on a fair value of the Company using the market approach, based on the market price to revenue and earnings multiple for companies considered by management to be comparable to the Company. |
| | |
| | The debentures matured unpaid on September 30, 2010. Because of the default on repayment of the loan, the debentures plus accrued interest became immediately due and payable in cash on September 30, 2010, and the interest rate from September 30, 2010 until repayment increased from 15% to 20% per annum, calculated on a daily basis. On November 10, 2010, in connection with the closing of the Reverse Merger Transaction and the Financing, the notes were satisfied in full as follows: (i) principal in the amount of $549,984 was converted at the option of certain of the holders into 366,656 shares of common stock of Parkview and was recorded at the value of the shares on the conversion date, (ii) principal in the amount of $100,016 was repaid in cash, and (iii) interest of $72,493 was paid in cash. |
| | |
15. | Subsidy income: |
| | |
| From time to time, the Company receives subsidies from the PRC government. Subsidies used for current period expenditures are recognized as income in the period in which the benefit from the subsidy is realized by the Company. Certain of the subsidies are earmarked for particular capital improvement projects, and the completed projects must be approved by the government to ensure specifications were met. Subsidies that relate to depreciable property and equipment are recorded as an offset to the related capital accounts to which the subsidy relates. |
| | |
| During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized subsidy income of $46,187 and $35,015, respectively. |

16. | Share capital: |
| | |
| (a) | Common Stock |
| | |
| | The Company was incorporated on April 7, 1999 (see note 1(a)). The Company is authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
| | |
| | Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. |
| | |
| | Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that our Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock. The common stock has no pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock. |
| | |
| (b) | Preferred Stock |
| | |
| | The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, none of which are currently outstanding. The shares of preferred stock may be issued in series, and shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to determine and fix in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances of preferred stock the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each such series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| | |
| (c) | Warrants |
| | |
| | As of March 31, 2011, the Company had 1,142,396 warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, have a term of 3-5 years, and are subject to a call provision if the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $8.00 per share for five consecutive trading days, subject to the Company’s common stock being traded on either the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq or NYSE Amex and there being an effective registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. The warrants issued in the transaction do not meet all of the established criteria for equity classification in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and accordingly, are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each reporting period (see note 12) |

16. | Share capital (continued): |
| | |
| (d) | Earnings per share |
| | |
| | Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated based on the treasury stock method, assuming the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding warrants. |
| | |
| | During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the warrants outstanding have not been included in the computation of diluted income per share, because all outstanding warrants were out of the money and such inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The number of weighted average common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated to give effect to the shares issued in the Reverse Merger Transaction. |
| | |
| (e) | Financing transaction |
| | |
| | On March 7 and March 17, 2011, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate 575,000 shares of common stock to eight investors at a price of $2.00 per share for gross cash proceeds of $1,150,000. In connection with this financing, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase 143,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a contractual term of three years, as well as 46,000 placement agent warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 and a contractual term of five years. |
| | |
| | The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchasers, under which the Company undertook to prepare and file with the SEC and maintain the effectiveness of a “resale” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act providing for the resale of (i) all of the shares of common stock (ii) all of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, (iii) all of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent (iv) any additional shares issuable in connection with any anti-dilution provisions associated with such preferred stock and warrants, and (v) any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing. |
| | |
| | Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to have a registration statement filed with the SEC within 60 days after the closing date (being March 7, 2011 with respect to 550,000 shares and March 17, 2011 with respect to 125,000 shares), and declared effective by the SEC not later than 120 days from the closing date. The Company is required to pay liquidated damages to each purchaser in an amount equal to one percent of the purchaser’s purchase price paid for any registrable securities then held by the purchaser for the first thirty (30) calendar days past the relevant deadline that the registration statement is not filed or not declared effective, for any period that the Company fails to keep the registration statement effective. The liquidated damages increases to 2% of the purchaser’s purchase price for any registrable securities held after the first thirty (30) calendar day period thereafter. |

The Company failed to file such registration statement, and as a result must accrue liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the aggregate subscription amount for the first 30 days after the filing deadline, and 2% for each 30-day period thereafter, with a maximum penalty of 10% of the aggregate subscription amount. Through March 31, 2011, such accrued liquidated damages amounted to $241,227 (see note 11). |
| |
| The Company capitalizes interest on loans related to construction projects in progress. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company capitalized interest expense in the amount of $77,355 and $63,407, respectively. |

19. | Financial instruments: |
| | | | |
| (a) | Fair value of financial instruments: |
| | | | |
| | The Company utilizes ASC Topic 820 fair value measurement accounting guidance, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This guidance also defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by this standard contains three levels as follows: |
| | | | |
| | | ● | Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | | | |
| | | ● | Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| | | | |
| | | ● | Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
| | | | |
| | The Company values certain loans payable at fair market value which do not have a stated interest rate using a discount of 14% on the face value of the loan at inception to adjust the carrying value to the fair value. Fair value is calculated using the net present value of the loan, and the amount of the discount is included on the statement of operations under the caption “Interest and other expense, net.” The discount is amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method, with interest expense being recorded as an expense in the related period. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the value of such instruments included in “Loans payable, long term portion” was $132,107 and $126,428, respectively. |
| | | | |
| | The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade accounts receivable, loans receivable, prepaid and other current assets, proceeds receivable from the sale of the Company’s fertilizer plant, amounts due from/to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other accounts payable, and current loans payable, all of which are valued using Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. |
| | | | |
| (b) | Interest rate and concentration of credit risks |
| | | | |
| | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash and accounts and loans receivable. To minimize the interest rate and credit risk, the Company places cash with high credit quality financial institutions located in the PRC. |

| | Credit risk from accounts receivable results from the risk of customer non-payment. Management, on an ongoing basis, monitors the level of accounts receivable attributable to each customer, and the length of time each account is outstanding. When necessary, management takes appropriate action to follow up on balances considered at risk. |

19. | Financial instruments (continued): |
| | |
| (c) | Foreign currency risk |
| | |
| | The Company uses the US dollar as its reporting currency for these financial statements, while nearly all of the Company’s transactions are denominated in RMB. Revenues and expenses are translated into US dollars using average exchange rates for the period, and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the period. All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation are included as a separate component in accumulated other comprehensive income. Consequently, the Company’s unrealized exchange gain (loss) on translation of functional currency to reporting currency is subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar in each reporting period. The Company does not hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations. |
| | |
| | Additionally, capital raised in US dollars, and any future dividends or distributions paid outside of the PRC in US dollar, are subject to fluctuating exchange rates when converted from RMB to US dollars, and vice versa. The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading market. |
| | |
| | The following exchange rates are applied for the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented herein: |
| | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | | | | | |
Period end rate | | | 6.5501 | | | | 6.8361 | |
Period average rate | | | 6.5713 | | | | 6.8360 | |
Period high rate | | | 6.6286 | | | | 6.8436 | |
Period low rate | | | 6.5443 | | | | 6.8236 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| (d) | Liquidity Risk |
| | |
| | Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when they become due. The Company uses cash to settle its financial obligations as they fall due. The ability to do this relies on the Company collecting its accounts receivables in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash on hand through equity financing and bank loans. |
| | |
| (e) | Commodity Risk |
| | |
| | Profitability in the poultry industry is materially affected by the supply of parent breeding stocks and the commodity prices of ducklings, processing ducks, and feed ingredients, including corn, soybean cake, and other nutrition ingredients from numerous sources, mainly from wholesalers who collect the feed ingredients directly from farmers. As a result, the industry is subject to wide fluctuations and cycles. The Company does not currently use derivative financial or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to various market risks related to commodity purchases |

20. | Tax matters: |
| | |
| (a) | Income tax |
| | |
| | The Company is subject to income, withholding, business and other taxes on income generated in the jurisdictions in which it does business. |
| | |
| | Taiyang is exempt from corporate income tax due to the nature of its business. Beginning 2006, the PRC government instituted a tax exemption policy for certain aspects of the agricultural industry. Taiyang’s business qualifies as tax exempt. The exemption relates to unprocessed agricultural products and is granted by the relevant taxing authority on a year-by-year basis. There is no stated expiration to the exemption, and while Taiyang expects to continue to receive favorable tax treatment, changes in government policy or the nature of Taiyang’s operations could result in Taiyang being required to pay income taxes. |
| | |
| | Ningguo is subject to corporate income tax in the PRC at a rate of 25%, as well as business tax at a rate of 5% on service income. |
| | |
| | Under the laws of the BVI, Dynamic Ally is not subject to tax on its income or capital gains. |
| | |
| | Parent is subject to United States income tax at a rate of 35%. |
| | |
| | Pursuant to the Consulting Services Agreement between Taiyang and Ningguo, Taiyang pays a consulting service fee to Ninnguo that is equal to all of Taiyang’s net income. According to the applicable PRC Enterprises Tax Law, such income is subject to business tax at a rate of 5% and enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. We recognized income tax expense amounting to $379,805 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. No income tax or business tax expense was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2010 since the Company did not pay profits in the form of management fees during this interim reporting period. |
| | |
| | The reconciliation between taxes computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 25% applicable to the Company’s operations to income tax expense is: |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | | | | | |
Income before income taxes | | $ | 1,825,900 | | | $ | 460,334 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Income tax at statutory rate of 25% in 2011 and 0% in 2010 | | | 456,475 | | | | — | |
Non-taxable gain on derivative financial instruments | | | (227,498 | ) | | | — | |
Non-deductible expenses | | | 150,828 | | | | — | |

20. | Tax matters (continued): |
| | |
| (a) | Income tax (continued) |
| | |
| | Tax declarations, together with other legal compliance areas, such as customs and currency controls are subject to review and investigation by various agencies and authorities, who are enabled by law to impose very severe fines, penalties and interest charges. These facts create tax risks in China substantially more significant than typically found in countries with more developed tax systems and structures. Various tax authorities could take differing positions on interpretive issues and the effect could be significant. The fact that a year has been reviewed does not close that year, or any tax declaration applicable to that year, from future review and assessment by tax authorities. If taxing authorities determine that there is an underpayment of taxes, they could impose a penalty between zero and five times the amount of taxes payable, at their discretion. Based on existing PRC tax regulations, the tax years of Taiyang and Ningguo for fiscal years 2006 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. Based on existing United States tax regulations, the tax years of parent for fiscal years 2003 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. |
| | |
| | The Company has not adopted any uncertain tax positions during the periods presented. |
| | |
| (b) | Value added tax |
| | |
| | The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”) on products that it sells within the PRC. VAT payable is netted against VAT paid on purchases. Certain of the Company’s products, including duck eggs, seedlings, and feed products, are exempted from VAT as a result of government agricultural incentives. If taxing authorities determine that payment is late or there is an underpayment of taxes, they could impose a penalty between zero and five times the amount of taxes payable, at their discretion. |
| | |
21. | Appropriated Retained Earnings: |
| | |
| According to PRC corporate law, the Company is required each year to appropriate 10% of its after tax income as reported in its financial statements, prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP, to the statutory common reserve fund until the fund reaches 50% of the Company’s Registered Capital. This fund can be used to make up for any losses incurred in the future or be converted into paid-in capital, provided that the fund does not fall below 50% of Registered Capital. The Company did not make any transfers to the statutory common reserve fund during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. |
| | |
22. | Commitments and contingencies: |
| | |
| (a) | Commitments |
| | |
| | The Company leases certain of its facilities pursuant to non-cancellable lease agreements expiring at various times through 2037. The amount of rent on these facilities is not fixed, but is based on the government stipulated market price of grains multiplied by the grain yield per area. Because future rents on these facilities depends upon unknown future market and production factors, the amount of future commitment cannot be quantified. |

22. | Commitments and contingencies (continued): |
| | |
| (b) | Contingencies |
| | |
| | In connection with the sale in June 2010 of a fertilizer plant partially constructed by the Company, the Company paid a deposit in the amount of $321,886 to acquire land use rights for the location on which the fertilizer plant is being constructed. The owner of the land use rights has agreed to transfer such rights to the Company upon completion of construction of the fertilizer plant, at which time the Company will transfer them to the buyer. The Company also agreed to allow the buyer of the fertilizer plant to use the Company’s name for marketing purposes for a period of two years from the sale date, and the buyer has allowed the assets comprising the fertilizer plant to continue to be pledged as collateral for bank loans by the Company that are secured by these assets. |
| | |
| | The Company regularly uses contract farmers to incubate ducks to be used for commercial processing. The Company pays the farmers a fixed fee per Duck when the duck has matured, which is after approximately 60 days. Fluctuations in the market price of ducks or duck meat could affect margins since these fees are fixed. |
| | |
| | During 2009, the Company made a loan to an unrelated third party, the balance of which was $916,017 and $907,468 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The third party pledged its assets to the bank as partial collateral for a bank loan in the amount of $1,492,961 borrowed by the Company. The loan receivable does not have a stated maturity date. |
| | |
| | During 2010, the Company made a loan to Jinyatai, a former subsidiary of Taiyang that was divested in 2005, the balance of which was $916,017 and $907,468 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Jinyatai pledged its assets as partial collateral for a bank loan in the amount of $2,290,041 borrowed by the Company. The loan receivable matured on January 7, 2011. Because the loan was not repaid by this date, the agreement between the Company and Jinyatai calls for Jinyatai to pay interest incurred by the Company on the bank loan. Through March 31, 2011, such interest amounted to $65,536. |
| | |
| | During 2010, the Company made a loan to an unrelated individual, the balance of which was $916,017 and $907,468 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The borrower pledged its assets as partial collateral for a bank loan in the amount of $3,358,727 borrowed by the Company. The loan receivable does not have a stated maturity date. |
| | |
| | The Company had additional unsecured loans receivable from unrelated parties totaling $2,097,368 and $1,545,722 outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which had no stated maturity date, and had no security. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 and through March 31, 2011, the Company has collected $458,008 of the outstanding balance. On May 11, 2011, the Company’s board of directors passed a resolution requiring that any new loans to directors, officers, and any other related or unrelated parties shall require pre-approval from the board of directors (see notes 4 and 24(a)). |
| | |
| | As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding loans to farmers guaranteed by the Company in the amount of $3,027,435 and $2,769,291, respectively. Loans to farmers guaranteed by the Company are comprised of loans taken by the Company on behalf of local farmers. The proceeds of the loans are used by the farmers for infrastructure and working capital used by the farmers for raising ducks on behalf of the Company. |
| | |
| | The Company does not maintain product liability insurance, and property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of the property and equipment, which leaves the Company with exposure in the event of loss or damage to its properties or claims filed against the Company. |

| | |
| (b) | Contingencies (continued) |
| | |
| | As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $763,347 and $756,224 of the Company’s trade accounts receivable were pledged as collateral for bank loans outstanding. These bank loans contain a covenant that prohibit the past due accounts receivable balance from exceeding 5% of the total accounts receivable balance. The loan agreements do not specify a methodology for identifying what accounts are past due. The Company does not give defined standard payment terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine if it has breached this covenant. The Company believes that it is in compliance based on its interpretation of the covenant, but there is no guarantee that the lending bank would consider the Company compliant. The Company has not had any disputes with the lending bank regarding such covenants. |
| | |
| | As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding $4,845,348 and $4,268,057, respectively, of unsecured loans receivable from unrelated parties which bear interest at rates paid by the Company on similar third party loans payable and have no stated maturity date (see note 4). These loans, and other loans made by the Company during previous reporting periods, constitute inter-enterprise lending that violate the PRC General Lending Rules. A fine in the amount of one to three times the income generated by the Company from such inter-enterprise loans may be imposed by the People’s Bank of China, at their discretion, if the Company were found to be in violation of the PRC General Lending Rules. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the probability of the fine being imposed is low and accordingly no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements. |
| | |
| | As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding $559,316 and $Nil, respectively, of loans due from Wu Qiyou, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The amount receivable from Wu Qiyou was repaid on May 11, 2011. The Company has since discontinued the practice of lending funds to its officers and directors, and on May 11, 2011, the Company’s board of directors passed a resolution requiring board approval for all future loans to directors, officers, and unrelated parties. Such loans to executive officers are prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. |

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
23. | Segmented and Geographical Information (continued): |
| |
| Breeding Unit sales increased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of higher demand and market prices for ducklings in China. Because the Company generates its own ducklings from its biological assets, the cost of producing new ducklings does not fluctuate with the market selling price for the ducklings. Accordingly, when the market price for ducklings increases, the Company can maximize its profits by selling internally generated ducklings directly into the market, as opposed to using them as inputs for Food Unit products, since the market price of packaged Food Unit products does not fluctuate readily with the market price of the input ducklings. |
| |
| The Feed Unit realized minimal revenues in each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as products were primarily sold internally to the Breeding Unit. In the last three fiscal quarters of 2010, the Company made significant sales of feed products to external customers through one distributor, while continuing to supply the Breed Unit. The Company did not make any sales to this distributor in three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company will continue to attempt to market its feed products to external customers, primarily through feed distributors, and expects that it will continue to realize sales revenue from such products. However, because distribution of these products is currently concentrated in one distributor, sales are volatile, and the permanent loss of that distributor would materially adversely affect such sales. |
| |
| Food Unit sales were down in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of higher market prices for ducklings, which resulted in more ducklings being sold to the market rather than being used internally for Food Unit products. |
| |
| During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, all of the Company’s sales were to customers located in the PRC. |

Overview
We are a private breeder and seller of ducks and duck parts in the PRC. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dynamic, was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 2, 2010. Dynamic owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Ningguo. On May 26, 2010, Ningguo entered into a series of contractual agreements with Taiyang, in which Ningguo effectively assumed management of the business activities of Taiyang and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Taiyang. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a Consulting Services Agreement and Operating Agreement, through which Ningguo has the right to advise, consult and manage Taiyang and its business operations for a quarterly consulting fee equal to all of Taiyang’s quarterly net profit. We will receive distributions from our consolidated affiliates only to the extent service fees are paid to Ningguo under these series of agreements and further distributed as dividends or other shareholder distributions by Ningguo. To secure payment of the service fees, Taiyang’s shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Taiyang as security for Ningguo to collect the consulting fee from Taiyang through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce Ningguo’s rights to control and manage Taiyang, Taiyang’s shareholders have granted Ningguo the exclusive right to exercise their voting rights pursuant to a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, as well as the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Taiyang through an Option Agreement.
Taiyang was established in May 1996 under the laws of the PRC. Taiyang raises, processes and markets ducks and duck related food products through three business lines:
| ● | Breeding Unit – breeds, hatches, and cultivates ducklings for resale and processing by the Food Processing Unit; |
| ● | Feed Unit – produces duck feed for internal use and external sale; and |
| ● | Food Processing Unit – processes ducklings into frozen raw food product for commercial resale. |
The contractual arrangements completed in May 2010 provide that Dynamic has a controlling interest in Taiyang as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification 810, “Consolidation”, Section 10-15, “Variable Interest Entities”, which requires Dynamic to consolidate the financial statements of Ningguo and Taiyang.
Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the consolidated financial results of Dynamic, Ningguo, and Taiyang.
For the Three Months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $5,514,850 and $7,688,952, respectively. Revenues by business unit were as follows:
| | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | (unaudited) | | | (unaudited) | |
Breeding Unit | | $ | 4,773,781 | | | $ | 1,306,492 | |
Feed Unit | | | 82 | | | | 54,543 | |
Food Unit | | | 740,987 | | | | 6,327,917 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 5,514,850 | | | $ | 7,688,952 | |
Breeding Unit sales increased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of higher demand and market prices for ducklings in China. Because we generate our own ducklings from our biological assets, the cost of producing new ducklings does not fluctuate with the market selling price for the ducklings. Therefore, when the market price for ducklings increases, we can maximize our profits per duckling by selling internally generated ducklings directly into the market, as opposed to using them as inputs for Food Unit products, since the market price of packaged Food Unit products does not fluctuate readily with the market price of the input ducklings. Accordingly, this strategy may result in lower revenues compared to prior periods, with a corresponding increase in gross profit. This is the case in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, when our consolidated revenues decreased by $2,174,102, or 28%, but we saw an overall increase in our gross profit of $817,044, or 54%, because of the increase in the market price of ducks. Our average sales price for a duckling was approximately $1.07 in the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $0.45 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our average sales price for grown commercial processing ducks was approximately $1.17 per kilogram in the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $0.85 per kilogram in the three months ended March 31, 2010. We expect our sales to continue to fluctuate with the market price of ducks, and we intend to continue to shift our sales mix accordingly between ducks and food product to maximize our profits as the market conditions change.
The Feed Unit realized minimal sales in each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as products were primarily sold internally to the Breeding Unit. In the last three fiscal quarters of 2010, we made significant sales of feed products to external customers through one distributor, while continuing to supply the Breed Unit. We did not make any sales to this distributor in three months ended March 31, 2011. We will continue to attempt to market our feed products to external customers, primarily through feed distributors, and expect that we will continue to realize sales revenue from such products. However, because distribution of these products is currently concentrated in one distributor, sales are volatile, and the permanent loss of that distributor would materially adversely affect such sales.
Food Unit sales were down in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of higher market prices for ducklings, which resulted in more ducklings sold to market rather than being used internally for Food Unit products. When market prices of ducks is unusually high, on a consolidated basis we can make higher profits by selling ducks into the market rather than processing them into food products, which have a more stable market price, and thus will yield lower margins when the input costs increase. Because the total number of ducks produced by our Breeding Unit is fairly constant, we can maximize our profits by selling more live ducks when their market price is high, and by selling more food products when the market price of ducks is low. Accordingly, sales of Food Unit products decreased substantially from 2010 to 2011 as a larger portion of the ducks produced at our facility were sold directly by the Breeding Unit due to the higher market price in 2011 relative to 2010, rather than being processed and sold as food product.
Revenues shown above reflect only sales to external customers. We also made substantial internal sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as follows:
| | Buying Unit | |
| | Three months ended March 31, 2011 | | | Three months ended March 31, 2010 | |
| | Breeding | | | Feed | | | Food | | | Breeding | | | Feed | | | Food | |

Breeding Unit | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 11,682 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 71,211 | |
Feed Unit | | | 2,958,936 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 3,373,915 | | | | — | | | | — | |

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, all of our sales were to customers located in the PRC. Our most significant intercompany sales are sales of feed product from the Feed Unit to the Breeding Unit.
Cost of goods sold and gross margin
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $3,184,372 and $6,175,518, respectively. Cost of goods sold consists principally of the cost of grains and fees paid to subcontracted farmers to raise commercial ducklings. The cost of grains fluctuates due to market, political, and economic factors that are beyond our control. A dramatic increase in the price of grain could reduce profit margins and adversely affect our results of operations if we are unable to pass such increased costs on to customers. Gross margins on revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were 42% and 20%, respectively. The increased gross margin was primarily the result of increased sales prices of duck, disproportionate to the relatively smaller increase in cost of grains and other materials used to raise ducks. As a result, margins on duck sales increased from 36% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 47% in the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $6,837 and $10,200, respectively. The slight decrease resulted from lower personnel and travel expenses in 2011.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $1,058,454 and $694,750, respectively, and are comprised of expenses related to corporate administration, accounting, and other shared corporate costs. General and administrative expenses were higher during the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to (i) bad debt reserve of $153,803 in the three months ended March 31, 2011, (ii) higher overhead costs in 2011 associated with corporate growth, and more staffing for the public transaction and post-transaction accounting and administrative requirements of $151,733, and (iii) business tax of $79,959 incurred in 2011, offset by lower public compliance costs in 2011 by $21,791 resulting from accounting, legal and other professional costs incurred in 2010 in preparation of becoming public.
Loss on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments
The warrants issued in our financing transactions completed in November 2010 and March 2011 do not meet all of the established criteria for equity classification in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and accordingly, are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each period. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized income resulting from a decrease in the fair value of derivative financial instruments in the amount of $909,993.
Other income
Other income in the amount of $174,013 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 is primarily attributable to dividend income from a long term investment in a local credit cooperative.
Subsidy income
From time to time, we receive subsidies from the PRC government. Subsidies used for current period expenditures are recognized as income in the period in which the benefit from the subsidy is realized. Certain of the subsidies are earmarked for particular capital improvement projects, and the completed projects must be approved by the government to ensure specifications were met. Subsidies that relate to depreciable property and equipment are recorded as an offset to the related capital accounts to which the subsidy relates.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized subsidy income of $46,187 and $35,015, respectively.
Interest expense
Interest expense (net) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:
| | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | (unaudited) | | | (unaudited) | |
Interest income | | $ | (75,877 | ) | | $ | (693 | ) |
Interest expense | | | 368,540 | | | | 329,622 | |
Bank fees | | | 31,117 | | | | 43,605 | |
Liquidated damages | | | 241,227 | | | | — | |
Amortization of debt discount | | | 4,473 | | | | 1,975 | |
Imputed interest expense | | | — | | | | 8,656 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 569,480 | | | $ | 383,165 | |
Interest income is derived from interest earned on bank deposits, loans receivable, and cash and cash equivalents, and was lower in the three months ended March 31, 2011 than the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to lower average interest-bearing cash deposits in 2011 than in 2010. Interest expense relates to interest accrued on bank loans and credit facilities, and bank fees relating to cash accounts, and was higher in 2011 than in 2010 due to higher average bank loan balances in 2011 than in 2010. We also recognized interest expense to amortize discounts on the face value of certain zero-interest loans with a stated maturity date. Imputed interest expense represents interest expense on zero interest debt with no maturity date.
Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreements dated November 10, 2010 and November 16, 2010, entered into between us and the investors in the November financing, we were required to file a registration statement including the shares issued in the November financing no later than January 9, 2011. We failed to file such registration statement, and as a result must accrue liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the aggregate subscription amount for the first 30 days after the filing deadline, and 2% for each 30-day period thereafter, with a maximum penalty of 10% of the aggregate subscription amount. As of April 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, such accrued liquidated damages amounted to $353,776 and $241,227, respectively.
Income tax expense
Pursuant to the Consulting Services Agreement between Taiyang and Ningguo, Taiyang pays a consulting service fee to Ninnguo that is equal to all of Taiyang’s net income. According to the applicable PRC Enterprises Tax Law, such income is subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. We recognized income tax expense amounting to $379,805 in the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Net income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,599,898 and $460,334, respectively. The higher income in 2010 was the result of (i) a gain on the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the amount of $909,993 in 2011, (ii) increased gross profit of $817,044 in 2011, resulting primarily from the Breeding Unit as margins improved due to higher market prices for ducks, and (iii) higher other income by $174,013 in 2011, resulting primarily from investment income earned on our investment in a local credit cooperative, (iv) higher subsidy income by $11,172 in 2011, and (v) lower sales and marketing expense by $3,363 in 2011. These amounts were offset by (i) income tax expense of $379,805 in 2011 as a result of our contractual arrangements that came into effect in May 2010, (ii) higher general and administrative expenses by $363,704 in 2011, and (iii) higher interest expense by $186,315 in 2011, attributable primarily to accrued liquidated damages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had unrestricted cash balances of $1,846,935 and $1,930,319, respectively, and working capital deficiency of $107,327 and $1,941,528, respectively. The improvement in working capital from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was caused by completion of the financing for net cash proceeds of $1,019,500 during March 2011, as well as continued profitable operations in 2010 and 2011.
Prior to the Reverse Merger Transaction in November 2010, we financed our operations through a combination of operating profit and short-term and long-term borrowings from banks. During the reporting periods, we arranged a number of bank loans to satisfy our financing needs. As of March 31, 2011, we have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through bank loans, and have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our payables in the normal course of business and refinancing, extending, or repaying bank loans when they come due.
Significant Liquidity Events
In March 2011, we consummated the sale of an aggregate 575,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share for gross cash proceeds of $1,150,000, and net proceeds of $1,019,500. In connection therewith, we also issued to the investors warrants to purchase 143,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a contractual term of three years, as well as 46,000 placement agent warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 and a contractual term of five years.
In November 10, 2010, we consummated the sale of an aggregate 2,920,392 shares of common stock to eight investors at a price of $2.00 per share for gross cash proceeds of $5,107,472, and the exchange of $549,984 in previously issued debentures that were converted into common stock. Net cash proceeds were $5,180,358 after the debt conversion, commissions, and offering costs. In connection therewith, we also issued to the investors warrants to purchase 730,098 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a contractual term of three years, as well as 226,298 placement agent warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 and a contractual term of five years.
The proceeds from these financing transactions are being used principally to construct a new cooked food processing line at our facilities in Ningguo City, PRC. Upon completion of the cooked food processing line, which is expected to be completed in late 2011, we intend to manufacture, market, and sell ready-to-eat cooked food products through new and existing distribution channels. We believe that the demand for these types of finished food products is very strong in China, and we expect demand to remain strong for the foreseeable future as the urban Chinese “middle class” continues to expand. Cooked food products are expected to yield higher profit margins than our current products. The expected cost of the new production line is approximately $4.5 million.
In addition to these financings, we have historically funded our operations through bank debt. During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 we were able to restructure a substantial portion of our bank debt from current to long term. Bank loans outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |

| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 20,589,809 | | | $ | 18,880,777 | |
Our long term debt comes due as follows:
April 1 to December 31, 2012 | | $ | 2,327,341 | |
2013 | | | 5,375,893 | |
2014 | | | 3,421,071 | |
Cash Flow Statement
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:
| | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
| | (unaudited) | | | (unaudited) | |
Net cash generated from (used in) operating activities | | $ | (1,549,211 | ) | | $ | (3,148,443 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (666,731 | ) | | | (1,996,716 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 2,151,849 | | | | 4,890,276 | |
Effect of exchange rate difference on cash and cash equivalents | | | (19,291 | ) | | | (1,567 | ) |

Cash and cash equivalents, end of period | | | 1,846,935 | | | | 355,185 | |
Net cash used in operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,549,211 and $3,148,443, respectively. The decreased cash usage is due to increased net income from improved gross profit in the Breeding Unit. Additionally, our accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased as we paid down our trade payables from available cash. Offsetting these increases to cash was an increase in inventory purchases and prepaid expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $666,731 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,996,716 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. We increased investment in our breeding infrastructure during three months ended March 31, 2010 in order to position our company to support rapid growth. We have invested heavily into duck farms 5, 6, 7 and 8 in order to support the capacity expansion. Expenditures were higher on these projects in 2010 than in 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,151,849 in the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $4,890,276 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Repayments received (net of advances made) pursuant to loans receivable were ($535,354) in 2011, compared with $788,780 in 2010. Advances received (net of repayments made) pursuant to loans payable were $145,934 in 2011, as compared with $1,347,228 in 2010. Bank borrowings, net of repayments, were $1,521,769 in 2011 as compared with $2,190,868 in 2010. During 2010, we borrowed $555,000 in the form of a convertible note payable to fund costs associated with the Reverse Merger Transaction. We also received $1,019,500 from the March 2011 financing.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth our long term debt and other long term commitments as of March 31, 2011:
Contractual Obligations | | Total | | | < 1 year | | | 1-3 years | | | 3-4 Years | | | > 5 years | |

| (1) | Taiyang leases certain of its facilities pursuant to non-cancellable lease agreements expiring at various times through 2037. The amount of rent on these facilities is not fixed, but is based on the government stipulated market price of grains multiplied by the grain yield per area. Because future rents on these facilities depend upon unknown future market and production factors, the amount of future commitment cannot be quantified. |
We believe that our current working capital is sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, loans receivable, other receivables, prepaid and other current assets, amounts due from/to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other accounts payable, and current loans payable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash has been valued using the market value technique.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.
Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is not accumulated nor communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:
| a) | We did not have sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result we were not able to achieve adequate separation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate reviewing of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; |
| | |
| b) | We did not have critical accounting policies and procedures in place to provide guidance to accounting personnel. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; |
| | |
| c) | We did not have formal anti fraud policies and procedures in place, nor do we conduct annual fraud risk assessments. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements including disclosures will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result; |
| | |
| d) | Our tone at the top was not sufficient to assure the directives of our Board of Directors were followed. Management did not obtain approval of the Board prior to entering into certain material contracts and agreements; and |
| | |
| e) | We do not have adequate procedures in place to detect related party transactions which give rise to potential conflicts of interest. |
We are committed to improving our accounting and financial reporting functions. As part of this commitment, we will create a segregation of duties consistent with control objectives and intend to institute formal accounting policies and procedures and fraud risk assessments. Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel will remedy the lack of sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions to achieve adequate segregation of duties. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turnover issues within the department occur. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.
Furthermore, the implementation of accounting policies and procedures will provide proper guidance to our accounting personnel to ensure that transactions are properly accounted for in a timely manner. In addition, conducting an annual fraud risk assessment will help to prevent possible material misstatements of financial statements and provide an additional mechanism to detect irregularities with our financial accounting procedures. Although these remediation efforts are underway, the above material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until new controls over financial reporting are fully designed and operating effectively for an adequate period of time.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
On March 7, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a Code of Conduct that applies to all employees, directors, and officers. We believe the adoption and implementation of a Code of Conduct resolves one of our prior material weaknesses. Other than the implementation of the Code of Conduct, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
