EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) to amend Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements and Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This Amendment has been filed to correct an error in the manner in which we calculated the number of shares outstanding in determining earnings per share, and another error in which we should have reclassified warrants issued as a derivative liability, and the financial statements contained herein are being restated accordingly. In addition, certain revisions are being made to the disclosure included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 15, 2008 in response to the Commission’s comment letter dated September 1, 2009.

YONGYE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
A. Organization
Yongye International, Inc. (the “Company”, formerly known as “Golden Tan, Inc.” or “Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc.”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 12, 2006. On April 17, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Fullmax Pacific Limited, a privately held investment holding company organized on May 23, 2007 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Fullmax”) and the shareholders of Fullmax (the “ Fullmax Shareholders”), who collectively owned all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Fullmax. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Fullmax Shareholders transferred to the Company all of their shares in exchange for 11,444,755 (the “Shares”) shares of the Company’s common shares (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Fullmax became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Fullmax Shareholders received approximately 84.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Immediately prior to the date of the Share Exchange, the Company was a publicly listed shell entity with no operations and had a nominal amount of cash and, Fullmax, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Asia Standard Oil Limited (“ASO”) and indirect subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology (“Yongye Nongfeng”), was engaged in the sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds for plant and animal feed used in the agriculture industry. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by Fullmax for the net monetary assets of the Company accompanied by a recapitalization.
In November 2007, ASO a Hong Kong investment holding company, entered into a Sino-Foreign cooperative joint venture contract (“Contract”) with Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Inner Mongolia Yongye”) to form a cooperative joint venture, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co. Ltd (“Yongye Nongfeng”), pursuant to which, Inner Mongolia Yongye and ASO is to own 10% and 90% of the equity interests in Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. Inner Mongolia Yongye was formed on September 16, 2003 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Mr. Zishen Wu, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Company, owns a controlling 91.67% of the equity interest in Inner Mongolia Yongye. Inner Mongolia Yongye’s primary business is the research, manufacturing, and sale of biochemical products for use in plants and animal growth. Inner Mongolia Yongye is located in the City of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region PRC.
On January 4, 2008, the incorporation and establishment of Yongye Nongfeng was approved by the Inner Mongolia Department of Commerce and the Inner Mongolia Administration for Industry and Commerce. The scope of business of Yongye Nongfeng is the distribution and sale of products of Inner Mongolia Yongye. The period of the cooperative joint venture is ten years and may be extended by a written application submitted to the relevant government authority for approval no less than six months prior to the expiration of the cooperative joint venture. Prior to the legal establishment of Yongye Nongfeng, both Fullmax and ASO were non substantive holding companies with no assets and operations and were primarily designed and used as legal vehicles to facilitate foreign participation in the business conducted by Inner Mongolia Yongye.
In May 2008, upon the agreement among Inner Mongolia Yongye, ASO and Yongye Nongfeng, the ownership of Yongye Nongfeng was revised, pursuant to which Inner Mongolia Yongye and ASO became 0.5% and 99.5% equity interest owners of Yongye Nongfeng, respectively. ASO has not fully injected its share of the capital into Yongye Nongfeng and is not required to do so until 2 years after the establishment of the CJV. Based upon actual capital injection into Yongye Nongfeng, Inner Mongolia Yongye and ASO were 1.15% and 98.85% owners, respectively, of Yongye Nongfeng as of June 30, 2008.
B. Nature of Business
The Company, through its primary operating subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng, is engaged in the sale of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds used in the agriculture industry in the PRC. In January 2008, upon receiving governmental approval of the establishment of Yongye Nongfeng, the management of Yongye Nongfeng anticipated that Yongye Nongfeng would not be able to obtain the fertilizer licensee in the near future, and therefore, Yongye Nongfeng entered into an agreement ( the “Agreement”) with Inner Mongolia Yongye, pursuant to which Yongye Nongfeng agreed to purchase finished goods products that are to be manufactured by Inner Mongolia Yongye at a fixed price of RMB 350 per case for fulvic acid plant based products and RMB 120 per case for fulvic acid animal based products . The term of the Agreement is for the period from January 15, 2008 to January 14, 2013. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company can terminate this by giving one month notice to Inner Mongolia Yongye. The Company is in the process of terminating the Agreement after obtaining the fertilizer license referred to in the following paragraph.

C. Restatement of 2008 Financial Statements
Subsequent to the preparation of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, management identified an error in the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share presented in its previously issued consolidated financial statements. The Company incorrectly accounted for the April Escrow Shares (See Note 8) as contingently issuable shares for purposes of calculating earnings per share and excluded such outstanding shares that were placed in escrow from the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. It was determined that since April Escrow Shares and September Escrow Shares are neither contingently cancellable nor contingently returnable to the Company, the shares should have been included in the denominator in computing the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share.
In connection with the April Offering (see Note 8), the Company issued the “April Warrants” to certain investors and Roth Capital Partners LLC (“Roth”). According to the terms of these warrants, the Company could be required to pay cash to the warrant holders under certain events that are not within the control of the Company. Specifically, upon the occurrence of certain “fundamental transactions” as defined, the warrant holders (but not the shareholders of the Company’s common stock) are entitled to receive cash equal to the value of the warrants to be determined based on an option pricing model and certain specified assumptions set forth in the warrant agreement. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,
such potential cash payments that are not within the Company’s control would preclude equity classification and therefore the warrants should have been classified as a liability and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting dates starting from the issuance date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued the “April Warrants” and “Roth April Warrants. The terms of these warrants provide “Fundamental Transaction” in which net cash settlement could occur under some circumstance that is not within the company’s control (see Note 8). Upon the adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-19, April Warrants have been classified as a liability with fair value at issuance date and would be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting dates starting from the issuance date.
As a result, the amount of $1,731,567 should have been recognized as derivative liabilities with fair value at issuance. The increase in fair value of the warrants of $1,538,802 should have been recorded as a charge to earnings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, since the Roth Warrants issued by the Company in April 2008 (see Note 8) also contains the “Fundamental Transactions”, such warrants should have been accounted for as a liability with changes in fair value also reported in earnings. Accordingly, the increase in fair value of the Roth April Warrants from the date of issuance through June 30, 2008 of $615,521 should have been recorded as a charge to earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. These restatement adjustments had no impact on the Company’s previously reported income tax amounts because the profit or loss associated with these warrants for financial reporting purposes, as described herein, are not expected to result in future income tax consequences.
The following table presents the effect of correcting this error on the consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. As the correcting adjustments had no impact on the amounts previously reported for the Company’s operating, investing or financing cash flows, the adjustments to the components of consolidated cash flow statement to reconcile net income to net cash used by operating activities are not presented.

NOTE 2 - -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X applicable to small business issuers. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 as reported in Form S-1.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” the Company and the Predecessor considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
8
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND BAD DEBT RESERVE
The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. As a consequence, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectability and are maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. Based on the age of the receivables, the Company reserves 10% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than 6 months but less than one year, 20% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding between one year and two years, 50% of receivable balances that have been outstanding between two year and three years, and 100% of receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than three years. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted . No allowance for doubtful accounts was provided as of June 30, 2008.
Our normal credit terms to our major customers are typically 90 days, while we ask our other customers to pay either up front or upon receipt. We based the CJV’s Accounts Receivable and Bad Debt Reserve policy on the historical experience of the Predecessor company’s sale and collection rates for the same products.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our distributors are classified as our customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized when title has been transferred, which is generally at the time of customer’s receipt of product, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is probable. The Company reports revenue net of value added taxes if applicable.
If the product is has expired or the package is broken at the time of receipt, the distributor has the right to exchange it for a new product with intact package; and distributors do not have the right to return unused, intact product to us after it has been delivered.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $480,457 and $4,738, respectively. Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2,057,032 and $8,594, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Per SFAS 144, the Company is required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets and to record an impairment loss when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amounts.
In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company and the Predecessor concluded that as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect in the People’s Republic of China for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes.
10
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No differences were noted between the book and tax bases of the Company and the Predecessor’s assets and liabilities, respectively, therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the three months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the six months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company’s Cooperative Joint Venture subsidiary Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co., (“Yongye Nongfeng”) is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 25% of net income from its foundation on January 4, 2008, and 1.25% of gross revenue since April 2008. Since the Predecessor is located in the economic development area in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Predecessor is exempt from income tax according to the tax law in China.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are determined using local currency (Chinese Yuan) as the functional currency, while the reporting currency is US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in other than the functional current are included in operations as incurred. Such gains and losses were immaterial for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments and disclosures considered necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company uses level 2 inputs to value its derivative liabilities.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at June 30, 2008. The warrants are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 but they and other potential common share equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ("FSP FAS 157-2"), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has elected to defer the adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosures nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions.

NOTE 12-Commitments
On (June 2, 2008), Yongye Nongfeng signed two construction contracts with two Construction Companies (Hainan No. 4 Construction Engineer Company and Hohhot Saihan District Art & Landscape) to begin construction of a new 8,000 Tons Per Annum (TPA) plant on its current contracted location. The value of these contracts is approximately RMB 25,000,000. This addition, when added to the current 2,000TPA capacity of Inner Mongolia Yongye Biotechnology Company, Ltd., will increase total production capacity to 10,000TPA and is critical to our ability to keep up with future anticipated demand. In July 2008, the construction contractor gave notice that it forecasts the in-service date of the facility to be the end of September 2008, which will be sufficient to avoid any weather-related delays. We do not anticipate any other delays.
Item 2- Management Discussion & Analysis
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements:
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Yongye International, Inc. (f/k/a Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc.) is referred to herein as “we” or “our.” The words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “expect to”, “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include those concerning our expected financial performance, our corporate strategy and operational plans. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, including: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions in China, including regulatory factors that may affect such economic conditions; (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, including whether our management will be able to identify, hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that management will be able to successfully manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities; (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations; and (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash which are explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statement.
Restatement of Financial Statements
Due to the complexities of placing the April 2008 Escrow Shares into escrow and subsequently accounting for the performance measures and potential transfer of such shares, the Company believed and accounted for such shares as contingently issuable shares for purposes of calculating earnings per share and excluded such outstanding escrowed shares from the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. However, after further examination subsequent to the original filing of our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008 and, it was determined that since the April 2008 Escrow Shares are neither contingently cancellable nor contingently returnable to the Company, the shares should have been included in the denominator in computing the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued the “April Warrants” and “Roth April Warrants”. According to the terms of these warrants, the Company could be required to pay cash to the warrant holders under certain events that are not within the control of the Company. Specifically, upon the occurrence of certain “fundamental transactions” as defined, the warrant holders (but not the shareholders of the Company’s common stock) are entitled to receive cash equal to the value of the warrants to be determined based on an option pricing model and certain specified assumptions set forth in the warrant agreement. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, such potential cash payments that are not within the Company’s control would preclude equity classification and therefore the warrants should have been classified as a liability and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date starting from the issuance date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued the “April Warrants” and “Roth April Warrants. The terms of these warrants provide “Fundamental Transaction” in which net cash settlement could occur under some circumstance that is not within the company’s control (see Financial Statements Note 8). Upon the adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-19, April Warrants have been classified as a liability with fair value at issuance date and would be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting dates starting from the issuance date. $1,731,567 should have been recognized as derivative liabilities with fair value at issuance. The increase in fair value of the warrants of $1,538,802 should have been recorded as a charge to earnings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, since the Roth May Warrants issued by the Company in April 2008 (see Financial Statements Note 8) also contains the “Fundamental Transactions”, such warrants should have been accounted for as a liability with changes in fair value also reported in earnings. Accordingly, the increase in fair value of the Roth April Warrants from the date of issuance through June 30, 2008 of $615,521 should have been recorded as a charge to earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. These restatement adjustments had no impact on the Company’s previously reported income tax amounts because the profit or loss associated with these warrants for financial reporting purposes, as described herein, are not expected to result in future income tax consequences.
The correcting adjustments had no impact on the Company’s previously issued consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Our Business
We are engaged in the development and distribution of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds used in the agriculture industry. Our headquarters is in Beijing, China and additional administrative offices and our manufacturing unit are located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. Currently, we sell two lines of products, both based on our fulvic acid compound base: a plant nutrition liquid compound and animal nutrition powder which is a food additive. Our products start with our proprietary fulvic acid base which is extracted from humic acid, and to which we add other natural substances to customize the base for use in our plant and animal product lines. Based on our internal data and research, we believe our proprietary technology for fulvic acid extraction creates some of the purest and most effective fulvic acid base on the market in China today. We have found that our fulvic acid has a very light weight molecular composition, which we believe improves the overall permeability of cell walls and allows more complete transport of nutrients across plant membranes, effectively strengthening the overall health of plants. We believe our proprietary process for extracting fulvic acid from humic acid and our patented process for mixing our plant nutrient and patent pending process for mixing our animal nutrient are key differentiators in the market and may help us provide a high quality product that we can control from procurement of raw materials to final production, which we also believe may help our products to provide reliable and predictable results from season to season.
We are headquartered in Beijing, China and Inner Mongolia Yongye’s manufacturing plant is located in the Inner Mongolia province of China. Currently, we sell two lines of product based on our fulvic acid base: plant nutrition liquid compound and animal nutrition food additive. Our products start with our fulvic Acid base then, in addition, we add other natural substances to customize the base for use in our plant or animal lines of products. Our plant products are intended to add naturally occurring macro and micro nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron and zinc. Our animal products add natural herbs which we believe may help to reduce bacterial inflammation (mastitis) in cows. It also assists many animals to digest food more completely and we thus believe that our animal products may help animals who use them to be healthier.
The financial statements we are reporting for 2007 are for our predecessor company, Inner Mongolia Yongye, which has now transferred all Shengmingsu related 2008 and 2009 sales contracts and income, intellectual property and patents, and personnel, exclusive of manufacturing personnel, into the name of Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology, the new Cooperative Joint Venture. After this transfer, Inner Mongolia Yongye became the primary contract manufacturing company for the new Cooperative Joint Venture and provided product at a cost plus price for the entire year of 2008. Inner Mongolia Yongye also kept the existing assets and long-term liabilities on its balance sheet.
Overview of 2nd Quarter
Demand for our products
One major tenet of the PRC government’s 11th Five-Year National Economic and Social Plan (the “ NESDP ”) (2006-2010) is the focus towards developing China’s western region. This is one of the top-five economic priorities of the nation. The goal is to increase rural income growth which will in turn increase demand for more food and agriculture products. Currently, a large majority of our products are sold in this western region and we hope that this government focus will increase our opportunity to sell more plant and animal nutrients to farmers who have to keep up with the demand for higher quantity and higher quality of products.
Supply of Finished Goods
Currently, we purchase our finished goods from our main supplier, Inner Mongolia Yongye, and then sell them through our distribution system. In order to generate greater profit margins, we set out to control our cost of goods sold and have put into place a fixed rate contract with our main supplier and this will extend over the next five years. Each quarter we will go through a review process with our supplier to adjust the fixed rate for the next quarter. We have not received any rate increases in the first two quarters in 2008.
Earthquake in Sichuan
The earthquake in Sichuan was a devastating event in the recent history of China. While the impact was felt all the way to Beijing, the disruption of business and the ensuing relief efforts were largely contained to the province itself and mainly to the areas nearest the epicenter. Because of this, the impact to our business was minimal. China’s Agriculture Minister Sun Zhengcai said in an interview with Xinhua that agriculture production would not be widely changed due to the earthquake in Sichuan primarily because the local output of the impacted area was quite small. He also mentioned that harvesting had been stepped up to ensure food security nationwide.
Seasonality
We typically face the seasonal demand patterns similar to other companies in our sector. In general, the first and fourth quarters are typically our slowest quarters and in 2008 we brought in approximately 20% and 6% of sales in these quarters. The second and third quarters drive the bulk of our overall sales with 36% and 38% respectively of the year’s net sales. Our Shengmingsu plant line faces the most seasonality of our two product lines with our Shengmingsu for animals experiencing less fluctuation during the year as a result of seasonal buying patterns. This year, while we did experience fluctuations by quarter of our animal line, we believe that this was due more in part to fluctuations in our sales and marketing efforts than due to seasonal buying patterns. We do not expect to face this type of revenue fluctuation for our animal product, which doesn’t typically experience the same seasonal tapering that our plant product faces.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
We believe that presenting a comparison of the results of our operations to our predecessor helps to provide a meaningful understanding of the underlying business since it enables a comparison of operations periodically. However, due to the transition from the predecessor to the Company that resulted in differences between our current operating model and our predecessor’s, the comparison of our information with the historical information of our predecessor might not be sufficient to be indicative of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In particular, certain assets and liabilities of our predecessor differ significantly from our assets and liabilities.
The approximate 775 retail stores selling Shengmingsu products have been assembled into a network of stores through the work of our distributors. These stores have typically been in existence for many years and sell many other agriculture products including competitive products and we do not receive payment from the owner and they do not pay Yongye Nongfeng any fees or distribute any profits to us. Each distributor works to source successful, independently owned agricultural product stores to bring them into their segment of the branded store network. Our distributors work with the store owner to feature Yongye products in a prominent fashion and will also display brochures and advertisements for our products. Some stores will feature a computer which runs our current infomercials. Before the store is brought into the Branded Store network, it may be selling Yongye products as a “non-branded” store as arranged with our distributors. To become a “branded store” the distributor may require the store to go through a trials process to ensure the store reaches certain performance standards set by the distributor and the distributor will alone determine whether or not the store is considered a branded store. While we work with all of our distributors to standardize this model so that a minimum level of similarity is replicated across all the branded stores, it is implemented by the distributor.
The following table shows, for the periods indicated, information derived from our consolidated statements of income.

Our financial condition continues to improve as shown by an increase of 22% in total assets during the second quarter of 2008 increasing by $4,979,690 to $28,111,346 at the end of June 30, 2008 from $23,131,656 at the end of December 31, 2007. Cash increased by 259% during the quarter and our accounts receivable increased by 1164% as a result of increased sales volume and longer than anticipated collections on some key accounts. Property, plant and equipment decreased by 78% during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the prior year end December 31, 2007 because our new business model, after the Reverse Takeover, is as a distribution and sales company and we carved out the 2,000TPA manufacturing facility from our financial structure and it remains with the predecessor company.

Gross Profit | $ | 9,602,150 | $ | 3,533,192 | 172 | % |
Sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $17,598,671, which was an increase of $10,157,459, or 137%, compared with the corresponding period in 2007. This was also a decrease of 21% from estimated Q2 revenues of $22,205,888 which represents our quarterly seasonal sales estimates of 45% of total 2008 revenue generated in Q2.
Gross profit for the Quarter ending June 30, 2008 was $9,602,150, and represented 55% of sales. This was an increase of $6,068,958, or 172%, when compared with the corresponding period in 2007 which ended at $3,533,192. When compared as a percentage of revenues, Gross Profit Margin increased by 8% from 47% to 55% from 2007 to 2008. The overall increase in margin was largely due to our ability to control Cost of Goods Sold through our contract manufacturing agreement as explained above..
Overall, compared with our results in 2007, we have increased our sales exponentially in Q2 of 2008 and we have already exceeded our expectations in building our network for all of 2008 by increasing the number of branded stores from 350 in Q1 of 2008 to 775 in Q2 of 2008, which is an overall increase of 19% compared to our initial estimation of 650 stores. When looking at the increase from the end of 2007, we have increased stores by 575, which is a 288% increase. Additionally, average same store sales are approximately the same which means our branding process has been successful across the network and is stable. This is due in large part to our efforts to standardize the branding process and provide service and support to all store owners and distributors.
The number of independently owned stores brought into our branded store network grew to 775 in the period ended June 30, 2008 from 200 in the same period ended June 30, 2007, which was an increase of 121%. This was due in large part to continued growth of the distribution network throughout the second quarter of 2008.
Additionally, Yongye Nongfeng was not required to pay VAT for the plant products sold, which increased its gross sales in 2008, whereas Inner Mongolia Yongye paid VAT for all products sold in 2007, which led to an approximate 4% decrease in gross sales. Once the product is recognized by the tax bureau as belonging in the agricultural fertilizer category, it is exempted from VAT taxation for all its future sales. Under the PRC taxation law, our product is categorized as an agricultural fertilizer and as such is exempted from VAT taxation. Our plant product was recognized by the tax bureau as agricultural fertilizer in 2008, so Yongye Nongfeng did not pay VAT for it. We expect this trend will continue as long as Yongye sells plant products.

Cost of Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $7,996,521, which is 45% of revenues. This is an increase of $4,088,501 over the previous period which represents an 105% increase overall. As a percent of revenue, this represented an overall decrease of 8% when compared with the corresponding period in 2007, which was 53%. The overall dollar increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in our production plan to meet our overall sales goals. The decrease in percentage of cost of sales was due to more stable pricing from our contract manufacturing agreement.
Suppliers
Inner Mongolia Yongye is Yongye Nongfeng’s main contract manufacturer and provided 100% of Yongye Nongfeng’s purchased finished goods for the three months period ended June 30, 2008. We believe this manufacturer will continue to deliver the finished goods we require at the quality levels we expect. Through our contract, we are able to control our prices and Intellectual Property and expect to do so for the foreseeable future.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $1,231,709, an overall increase of $1,061,224, or 622%, when compared with the corresponding period in 2007. This was 7% of revenue which was a 5% increase over the same period last year where these expenses were 2% of revenue. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased, correlated, sales activities, such as advertising of $480,457 in the period which is an increase of $475,719 and increased staffing expenses related to the buildup of the executive and sales teams of $241,136 in the period which is an increase of $187,624. Specifically, as referenced in the footnotes, advertising expenses increased $475,719 to $480,457 in June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 which was $4,738. This is due to our increased media coverage in 6 provinces and print coverage in 10 provinces whereas in the same period in 2007 advertising was primarily word of mouth.
Loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities
The Company has accounted for warrants issued to investors and Roth in April Offering in year 2008 as liability measured at fair value. The change in their fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2008 charged to Consolidated Statement of Income of a loss of $2,154,323. No such loss was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as the Predecessor Company did not issue any such security during the year 2007.. In addition, the loss recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was due to the significant increase of our stock price at June 30, 2008 ($3.50) compared to that at April 17, 2008 ($2.22).
Income Tax
The Company did not carry on any business and did not maintain any branch office in the United States during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Therefore, no provision for withholding or U.S. federal income taxes or tax benefits on the undistributed earnings and/or losses of the Company has been made.
The Company’s Cooperative Joint Venture subsidiary, Yongye Nongfeng Biotechnology Co. (“Yongye Nongfeng”), is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at a rate of 25% of net income from its foundation on January 4, 2008 to March 31, 2008, and 1.25% of gross revenue since April 1, 2008. The difference in tax rates occurred because, while the CJV was entitled to the “Check and Ratify” taxation method rate, and did apply for it, the CJV did not receive approval for such rate until the second quarter of 2008. Under the PRC taxation system, the enterprise income taxation is conducted on a quarter by quarter basis and, therefore, we were subject to the rate of 25% of net income for the full first quarter of 2008 and computed the tax at 1.25% of gross revenue for the remaining three quarters of 2008.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s income tax expense was $219,983 and income tax payable were $406,530 compared to $0 and $893,892 for the same period in 2007.

Net income | $ | 5,006,532 | $ | 3,312,794 | 51 | % |
Net income was $5,006,532 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and was 28% of revenue for the quarter. This was an increase of $1,693,737, or 51%, when compared to net income of $3,312,794 for the same period of 2007, and represented 45% of revenue for the quarter. This is an overall increase of 51%, which is the result of an increase in sales revenue due to expansion of our number of branded stores and distribution network overall. By percentage of revenue, however, net income is down 16% over the prior period due largely to other expenses of $2,540,732 which is mainly the loss generated by change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and minority interest of $603,194, which is new for this quarter. These two expenses combined were 14% of revenue for the quarter.
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were $0.27. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted EPS for the period were 18.5 million.
Foreign Currency Translation Gains
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. We use our local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as our functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
The value of the USD versus the RMB continued to decline during the second quarter of 2008. As a result of the appreciation of the RMB, we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $277,101 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a gain of $127,723 for the same quarter last year. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, and results of operations or financial condition. All of our revenues and expenses were denominated in RMB Yuan and both the income statement accounts and balance sheet amounts were translated at 1 RMB Yuan to 0.1414 USD.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Inner Mongolia Yongye, the predecessor company, has historically financed its operations and capital expenditures principally through shareholder loans, bank loans, and cash provided by operations. As a newly formed Cooperative Joint Venture, Yongye Nongfeng, has used the net proceeds of both the April and September Offerings of approximately $20 million to finance the purchase of raw materials and finished inventory from Inner Mongolia Yongye, capital equipment and an expansion of our facilities and production, build out of our distribution network through advertising and marketing programs and their associated expenses, and increasing the number of our branded stores that distributors will do once they have more product available and more advertising coverage. We believe customers will increase, product will be pulled through the channels and distributors will penetrate the market with more branded stores to accommodate and spur sales growth.
As is customary in the industry, we provide payment terms to most of our distributors which typically exceed the terms that we ourselves receive from our finished goods suppliers. We typically provide 90 day terms to our provincial level customers and ask for all others to make cash payments up front or upon delivery. Therefore, the Company’s liquidity needs have generally consisted of working capital necessary to finance receivables and raw material inventory. We believe that over the next 12 months our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future cash needs. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. We will determine how to meet these specific cash flow needs as they arise. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such additional investment will be available to us, or if available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us. Cash and Cash Equivalents balance amounted to $1,350,330 and $1,102,032 as of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

The changes described above were generally due to the fact that our largest customers typically pay us 90 days after we ship products to them, which is according to the terms set in the agreements with them. Because we are constrained by the seasonal forces and the elongated payment terms of the agriculture industry, we slowly build up accounts receivable starting in the first quarter and more rapidly add to this throughout the peak season of the second and third quarter. As the end of the year approaches, we typically have had the ability to collect a great deal of our receivables so as to start the new year with a much lower balance.
Because of the seasonal nature of agriculture industry, the peak season for the sale of our product is in the second and third quarters of the year. We normally build up inventory in the first and fourth quarters to prepare for shipments to customers as they order product for the peak selling season in the second and third quarters. The significant increase in the balance of inventory we recently experienced was in line with this business practice. Additionally, our contract manufacturer brought on increased capacity from 2,000TPA to 10,000TPA in preparation for increased sales of the product which we expect to occur. We expect that we will maintain a similar balance in the future year ends.
The Company's working capital at June 30, 2008, increased to $13,233,278 from $2,655,790 on December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital resulted from growth in the Company's overall business and the use of cash earnings to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventories. Accounts receivable Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) is defined as average accounts receivable for the period divided by net sales per day and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 69 days at June 30, 2008 from 81 days at June 30, 2007 and Days Sales in Inventory (“DIO”) is defined as average inventory in the period divided by the cost of sales per day and decreased by 4 days to 75 days at June 30, 2008 from 79 days at June 30, 2007. As is customary in China’s agriculture industry, we give credit terms which allow our distributors to pay over a longer period of time than is traditionally done in other industries.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $7,604,652. Reductions in cash were primarily attributable to increases of $5,196,266 in inventories and $20,613,347 in accounts receivables. These were offset to some degree by net income of $5,587,862, an adjustment for depreciation of $93,263, a loss generated by change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,154,323 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6,772,337.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $762,418 and was primarily attributable to the build out of the Beijing office with improvements of $639,519 over the first six months of 2008 and the purchase of intangible assets (patent and accounting software) of $122,899.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross cash from financing activities was $10,100,651 from the PIPE investment received on April 17, 2008. This was offset by expenses incurred in issuance of stock to shareholders of $806,159 resulting in net cash of $9,294,492.

This can be attributed to our investment in our distribution channels and build up of branded stores which put more product in the hands of end users. We have increased the number of stores from inception in 2007 to 775 stores by June 30, 2008. The Company and the Predecessor’s total sales to our five major customers were $24,068,529 and $7,961,977, for the six months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We achieved gross profit of $14,567,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, up 285% from gross profit of $3,780,957 for the corresponding period in the prior year. Gross profit margin for June 30, 2008 was 54%, up 7% from 47% as compared to the corresponding period in 2007. This is largely attributed to our fixed price contract for finished goods which has stabilized our cost of goods sold.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses
We incurred total SG&A expenses of $ 4,809,602, or 18%, of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As compared to the same period in 2007, this represented an increase of $4,583,423 or 2026% over SG&A expenses of $226,179 which was 3% of revenue. Much of this increase is due to increased expenses for operating as a public company, hiring additional executive team members and increased advertising expenses which, due to the seasonal nature of our business, must be expended in Q1 and Q2 in order to reach customers for the growing season starting early in Q2.
Loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities
The Company has accounted for warrants issued to investors and Roth in April Offering in year 2008 as liability measured at fair value. The change in their fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2008 charged to Consolidated Statement of Income of a loss of $2,154,323. No such loss was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as the Predecessor Company did not issue any such security during the year 2007. In addition, the loss recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was due to the significant increase of our stock price at June 30, 2008 ($3.50) compared to that at April 17, 2008 ($2.22).
Net Income
Our net income was $5,587,862 or 21% of revenues for this six month period in 2008 which was $2,229,434 or 66% increase over the same six month period in 2007 which was $3,358,428 and 41% of revenue. The increase reflected continued expansion in sales revenue levels, continued strong demand for our products and sustained profitability.
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $0.37. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted EPS for the comparative periods were 15.0 million.
Impact of inflation
We are subject to commodity price risks arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of the raw materials. We have generally been able to pass on cost increases through price adjustments. However, the ability to pass on these increases depends on market conditions influenced by the overall economic conditions in China. We manage our price risks through productivity improvements and cost-containment measures. We do not believe that inflation risk is material to our business or our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
