Sino Green Land Achieves 34% Revenue Growth
for the 6 Months Ended June 30, 2009
Generates $1.6 Million of Net Income for the Second Quarter of 2009
New York and Guangzhou, China – August 17, 2009 – Sino Green Land Corporation (OTCBB: SGLA), a leading distributor of high-end fruits and vegetables in China, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Mr. Anson Fong, Chairman, stated, “Since founding our company in 2003, we sought to build an efficient and scalable platform for the distribution of high-end fruits and vegetables across China, and believe that our compound annual growth rate of over 70% in the last three years alone is indicative of our success. We achieved this growth through the establishment of co-operative structures with farmers across China that enable us to lock in guaranteed supply by providing them an outlet for their produce. We also provide these farmers with valuable support, such as introducing new fruit species, providing technologies to help increase crop yield, and supporting the use of eco-friendly and human safe pesticides and fertilizers.”
“The second component of our strategy was to leverage our expertise to build out our distribution channels. We distribute products in two large, key markets: the Guangzhou YunCheng wholesale market, which has an annual apple sales volume of over 250,000 tons; and the Beijing Xinfadi wholesale market, which has an annual apple turnover of approximately 300,000 tons. In addition, we currently focus on three key high end products that include Fuji apples, emperor bananas and tangerine oranges. We chose these fruits due to the strong and growing demand for these premium items. For instance, Fuji apples are currently sold at a rate of 27 million tons per year in China. We plan to further diversify our revenue and enhance profitability through expanded distribution as well as increased exports of higher margin premium fruits.”
“China’s Ministry of Agriculture is committed to increasing the availability of environmentally friendly and healthy food, and provides support to agricultural companies through its subsidiary, the China Green Food Association. China’s Ministry of Agriculture has invested significant capital since 1990 to create official green food standards, and there are now over 6,000 association members that have reached these standards on over 17,000 food items. As a council member of the China Green Food Association, Sino Green Land is uniquely positioned to distribute green food products for the association’s members, providing us direct access to expand into the green food arena, a category of healthy and environmentally friendly foods whose price points are 15-20% higher than conventional produce in China. We view this as a new source of high margin revenue growth going forward.”
“We experienced severe weather patterns in the first quarter of 2008, which deferred a high portion of our sales to the second quarter of 2008. As a result, our year-over-year growth rate for the six months ended June 30th was more representative of our overall performance than the second quarter alone. We are pleased to report revenue growth of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the same period last year. Looking ahead, we plan to maintain strong double digit revenue growth and further enhance our margins, while continuing to generate very strong cash flow. We are extremely excited about the near and long-term opportunities for the company, and look forward to maximizing value for our shareholders, given our new status as a public company in the U.S.”

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $21.8 million, as compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margin of approximately 11.0% and 11.4%, respectively. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same period last year, prior to the company’s reverse merger.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $40.3 million, as compared to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margin of approximately 11.2% and 11.9%, respectively. The decline in gross margin year-over-year was due to the pre-payment of certain sales commissions during the first six months of 2009 that were not paid out in the comparable period in 2008, but rather in the second half of 2008. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.4 million for the same period last year, prior to the company’s reverse merger. . Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included approximately $0.8 million of one-time expenses related to the reverse merger that took place in the first quarter of 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $627,605 and shareholders’ equity of $17.8 million.
