NOTE-3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GHNA and its subsidiaries and VIE. All inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company has adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810-10-25, “Variable Interest Entities” (“ASC 810-10-25”). ASC 810-10-25 requires a variable interest entity or VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
● | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, ,the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and land use rights for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment as of September 30, 2010.
In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
(i) | Trading of agricultural products |
The Company generates revenue from the distribution and re-sale of agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables and dry food products in the PRC. Under the terms of various arrangements, the Company usually performs as an agent and receives a fixed, contracted percentage of service fee, based upon the invoiced amount of agricultural products procured on the client’s behalf.
The Company has followed the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross As A Principal Versus Net As An Agent” (“EITF 99-19”) whereby the Company evaluates transactions on a case by case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded on a gross basis as a principal or net basis as an agent. This evaluation includes, but not limited to, assessing whether the Company (1) or third-party supplier is a primary obligor in the arrangement, (2) has general inventory risk, (3) has latitude in establishing pricing, (4) has discretion in supplier selection, (5) can physically change the product, (6) has credit risk and (7) acts as an agent or broker with compensation on a commission or fixed fee basis.
Net basis as an agent
Based on its assessment of the indicators listed in the EIFT 99-19, the Company has concluded that the existing trading business should be accounted for on a net basis. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when services are performed and recorded, net of the purchase costs paid to the suppliers, as the Company is not the primary obligor assuming no risk and rewards of ownership of the agricultural products, the percentage earned is typically fixed and does not bear general inventory and credit risk.

Income taxes are determined with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stocks were dilutive.
● | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and record in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective year:
| | September 30, 2010 | | | September 30, 2009 | |
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate | | | 6.6981 | | | | 6.8376 | |

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company operates in two reportable operating segments: catering/food distribution business and agricultural business in the PRC.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820"), establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, ASC 820 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
For financial assets and liabilities, fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.
● | Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, accrued liabilities and other payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values. The estimated fair value of short-term bank borrowing was approximately $388,000 as of September 30, 2010, based on current market prices or interest rates. Any changes in fair value of assets or liabilities carried at fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income for each period.

● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued certain amendments as codified in ASC Topic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition; Multiple-Element Arrangements.” These amendments provide clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method . The amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of these amendments in its fiscal year 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial st atements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to require further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users’ understanding of (1) the nature of an entity’s credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity’s assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. This update will be effective for the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, except for the disclosures relating to activity that occurred during a reporting period which is effective for the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Since this update addresses only disclosures related to credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, it is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE-4 RESTRICTED CASH
The Company has classified certain cash and cash equivalents that are not available for use in its operations, which are restricted for capital expenditure in connection with the Company’s expansion plans in catering and agriculture trading businesses in the next 12 months.
During 2010 fiscal year, the Company continued the expansion plans to construct the additional kitchen facilities in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province and develop the agricultural plantation bases and facilities in Gansu and Fujian Provinces in the PRC at a total estimated cost of approximately $7,553,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB50,593,000). For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company expended $5,147,444 on these expansion plans from its restricted cash and recorded as additions to plant and equipment, land use rights, intangible assets and purchase deposits for plant and equipment.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 10% of the Original Issue Price (which is defined as $0.50) payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the Company.
The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, a provision that provides if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the Warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased.
As further consideration for the transaction, the Company, along with the Investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with an insider of the Company who placed an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow (the “Escrow Shares”), to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met. Pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, if the Company’s EBIT for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 as reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report (the “2010 Actual EBIT”) is less than $7,000,000 (the “2010 Guaranteed EBIT”), then Investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis (determined by dividing each Investor’ ;s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Purchase Agreement) for no additional consideration, some or all of the Escrow Shares determined as follows:
If the percentage determined by dividing the 2010 Actual EBIT by the 2010 Guaranteed EBIT is:
i. | less than one hundred percent (100%), but at least ninety-five percent (95%), then five percent (5%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| |
ii. | less than ninety-five percent (95%), but at least eighty-five percent (85%), then twenty-five percent (25%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| |
iii. | less than eighty-five percent, but at least sixty-five percent (65%), then fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |

If the percentage determined by dividing the 2011 Actual EBIT by the 2011 Guaranteed EBIT is:
i. | less than one hundred percent (100%), but at least ninety-five percent (95%), then five percent (5%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, there was no vendor who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases.
No financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the Company’s large number of transactions are on the cash basis.
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
(Unaudited)
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from short-term bank borrowing. Borrowing issued at variable rate expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2010, the borrowing was at fixed rate.
NOTE-17 COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Overview
We generate revenues from two sources:
| ● | Catering/Food Distribution business |
| ● | Agricultural business |
In our Catering/Food Distribution business, we cook and supply traditional Chinese meals. We use fresh ingredients and if possible natural products certified under Chinese law as pollution-free materials. We sell semi-cooked meals (catering services) to factories, operate restaurants (restaurant sales) and frozen lunch boxes to convenience stores and supermarkets. Our target market for catering services and restaurant sales is mainly factory workers, white-collar workers, as well as the staff and customers in department stores, shopping malls and, for frozen lunch boxes, supermarkets. Due to the economic downturn that started in late 2008 and because of concerns about the financial ability of our customers to make timely payments, we substantially reduced our catering/food distribution business. Commencing the third quarter of 2009, we have begun to ramp up these businesses agai n, now serving approximately 35 factory locations and starting with marketing of lunch boxes to supermarket chains.
We have two lines of operation in our agricultural business:
| ● | Agricultural Trading – We trade agricultural products as an agent from other companies or agricultural producers for resale during 2009. Beginning in 2010, we no longer act as agents and all revenue during 2010 is reported gross. |
| | |
| ● | Agricultural Plantation – Since 2009, we lease land use rights and sub-contract the cultivation right to the existing farmers of the leased farmland to grow agricultural products in accordance with our specification and re- sell the agricultural products. We anticipate that we will also use some of these products as a minor amount of raw materials in our catering/food distribution business. |
We expect to expand our catering/food distribution business to the cities of Shanghai and Suzhou in the fourth quarter of 2010.
As of September 30, 2010, our catering/food distribution operations are located in Quanzhou, Ningbo City and Xiamen City, China. During the third quarter of 2009, we leased the factory in Ningbo and carried out factory renovations and equipment investments. The factory is fully operational.
We also anticipate an increase in our agricultural products given the Chinese government’s current preferential national policy towards the agricultural industry is currently at a low level of development. We plan to expand sales to Shanghai and Suzhou regions in the future.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2009
The following table compares the revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | Change | |
| | | | | Revenue | | | $ | | | % | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Product sales | | $ | 5,992,031 | | | $ | 9,524 | | | $ | 5,982,507 | | | | 62,815.1 | % |
Product net sales | | | - | | | | 1,480,612 | | | | (1,480,612 | ) | | | (100.0 | )% |
Catering service and restaurant sales | | | 2,148,987 | | | | 3,144,264 | | | | (995,277 | ) | | | (31.7 | )% |
| | $ | 8,141,018 | | | $ | 4,634,400 | | | $ | 3,506,618 | | | | 75.7 | % |
Product Sales: We generated revenue from product sales of $5,992,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $5,982,507 compared to $9,524 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we assumed the position of primary obligor and recognized revenue on a gross amount billed to the customers when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exist, the products are delivered, the fee is fixed and determined and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. We anticipate this business to increase as we expand into the market. On the other hand, we recorded revenue on a net basis and classified as product net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Product net sales: We generated revenue from product net sales of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,480,612 or 100% compared to $1,480,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded the revenue net of procurement costs paid to the suppliers for the agricultural trading as these revenues were recognized on a net basis in accordance with ASC Topic 605-45-45, “Overall Consideration of Reporting Revenue Gross As A Principal Versus Net As An Agent” because we performed as an agent without assuming the risk and rewards of ownership of the distribution and sale of agricultural products. All cost s associated with the delivery of product are not borne by us. On the other hand, we recorded revenue on a gross basis as we assumed the position of primary obligor and classified as product sales.
Catering service and restaurant sales: We generated revenue from catering service and restaurant sales of $2,148,987 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $995,277 or 31.7% compared to $3,144,264 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. During the first half year of 2009, we reduced our catering business operations in response to the economic downturn. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the ramp up in catering/food distribution services, restaurant sales and sales of frozen lunch boxes during the third quarter of 2009 as the economy was begun to recover from the financial turmoil. We expect our revenues to continue to increase each quarter as our operations expand into new cities.
The following table compares the costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Three Months Ended September 30, |
2010 | | 2009 |
Cost of Revenue | % of Revenue | | Cost of Revenue | % of Revenue |
5,584,543 | 68.6% | | 2,296,518 | 49.6% |
The cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 68.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 49.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the change in our method of revenue recognition, in which we now recognize revenue on a gross basis
Sales and marketing: We incurred sales and marketing expense of $1,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $2,927 compared to $4,452 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The change was minimal.
General and administrative: We incurred general and administrative expenses of $196,401 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $41,758 or 27% compared to $154,643 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the continued expansion of our catering business operations in Ningbo City, Xiamen and Quanzhou.
Income tax expense: We recorded tax expense of $285,673 (12.1% of income before taxes) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $15,113 (0.7% of income before taxes) for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to two factors: 1) the majority of the income was contributed from Ningbo Yiqi whose statutory income tax rate is 25% and 2) the change in tax rates due to tax holiday rates gradually increasing over 5 years.
Dividends on preferred stock: We recorded dividends on preferred stock of $10,833 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The dividends were a result of our issuance of 2,600,000 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) on August 31, 2010. We expect to record quarterly dividends of approximately $32,500 while the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding.
Comparison of the Nine Months ended September 30, 2010 and the Nine Months ended September 30, 2009
The following table compares the revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

We anticipate this business to increase as we expand into the market. On the other hand, we recorded revenue on a net basis and classified as product net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Product net sales: We generated revenue from product net sales of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $3,603,834 or 100% compared to $3,603,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded the revenue net of procurement costs paid to the suppliers for the agricultural trading as these revenues were recognized on a net basis in accordance with ASC Topic 605-45-45, “Overall Consideration of Reporting Revenue Gross As A Principal Versus Net As An Agent” because we performed as an agent without assuming the risk and rewards of ownership of the distribution and sale of agricultural products. All costs a ssociated with the delivery of product are not borne by us. On the other hand, we recorded revenue on a gross basis as we assumed the position of primary obligor and classified as product sales.
Catering service and restaurant sales: We generated revenue from catering service and restaurant sales of $5,635,803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $2,032,780 or 56.4% compared to $3,603,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During the first half year of 2009, we reduced our catering business operations in response to the economic downturn. In the third quarter of 2009, we established a new central kitchen in Ningbo as part of our growth initiative to expand our catering business. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to the increase in sales from the establishment of the Ningbo kitchen and the continued increase in sale s in Quanzhou and Xiamen cities. We expect our revenues to continue to increase each quarter as our operations expand into new cities.
The following table compares the costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Nine Months Ended September 30, |

The cost of sales for as a percentage of revenue was 74.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 37.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the change in our method of revenue recognition, in which we now recognize revenue on a gross basis.
Sales and marketing: We incurred sales and marketing expense of $12,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $7,388 compared to $19,446 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

We are not currently in negotiations with any lenders or other funding sources and we are not certain that we will be able to obtain additional funding on terms favorable to us or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically review long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and land use rights for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
(a) | Product sales |
| |
(i) | Trading of agricultural products |
The Company generates revenue from the distribution and re- sale of agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables and dry food products in the PRC. Under the terms of various arrangements, the Company usually performs as an agent and receives a fixed, contracted percentage of service fee, based upon the invoiced amount of agricultural products procured on the client’s behalf.
The Company has followed the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “ Reporting Revenue Gross As A Principal Versus Net As An Agent” (“EITF 99-19”) whereby the Company evaluates transactions on a case by case basis to determine whether the transaction should be recorded on a gross basis as a principal or net basis as an agent. This evaluation includes, but not limited to, assessing whether the Company (1) or third-party supplier is a primary obligor in the arrangement, (2) has general inventory risk, (3) has latitude in establishing pricing, (4) has discretion in supplier selection, (5) can physically change the product, (6) has credit risk and (7) acts as an agent or broker with compensation on a commission or fixed fee basis.
Net basis as an agent
Based on its assessment of the indicators listed in the EIFT 99-19, the Company has concluded that the existing trading business should be accounted for on a net basis. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when services are performed and recorded, net of the purchase costs paid to the suppliers, as the Company is not the primary obligor assuming no risk and rewards of ownership of the agricultural products, the percentage earned is typically fixed and does not bear general inventory and credit risk.
Gross basis as a principal
In any instance, the Company assumes the position of primary obligor and thus will recognize revenue on the gross amount billed to the customers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products are delivered, the fee is fixed and determined and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Under the gross basis accounting, the related cost of revenue will be separately recorded, which primarily consists of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, purchase costs of agricultural products for re- sale , subcontracting fee, amortization of land use rights and other operating costs directly attributable to the trading business.
(ii) | Sale of frozen lunch boxes |
The Company generally sells its frozen lunch boxes to the retail chains and convenience stores on a basis of limited return rights. Revenue is recognized when title passes upon delivery of its products to customers, net of applicable provisions for returns and allowances and business taxes. Since these frozen lunch boxes are perishable, the right of return is limited to 24 hours after the delivery date.
(b) | Catering service and restaurant sales |
| |
(i) | Catering services |
Catering services are either provided at the customers’ workplaces or the Company’s central kitchens under the contract for the period ranging from 3 months to 1 year. Revenues for catering services billed on per-unit (meal) basis are recognized as the services are sold to the customer, net of business taxes.
The Company operates restaurant to provide the meal service in the industrial zone. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold to the customers, net of business taxes.
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
Income taxes
Our provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued certain amendments as codified in ASC Topic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition; Multiple-Element Arrangements.” These amendments provide clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements f or multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after September 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of these amendments in its fiscal year 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to require further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users’ understanding of (1) the nature of an entity’s credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity’s assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. This update will be effective for the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, except for the disclosures relating to activity that occurred during a reporting period which is effective for the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Since this update addresses only disclosures related to credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, it is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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 disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
We are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Not applicable.
ITEM 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 31, 2010, the Company entered in a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 2,600,000 of its newly designated Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,300,000. National Securities Corporation acted as the sole placement agent on the private placement, and received warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 416,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.75, in addition to a cash fee.
The Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were all sold and/or issued only to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), were not registered under the Securities or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a one to one conversion ratio, at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends payable at the rate of 10% of the Original Issue Price (which is defined as $0.50) payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the Company.
The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions, including but not limited to, a provision that provides if the Company issues shares of its common stock at less than the then existing conversion price, the conversion price of the Warrants will automatically be reduced to such lower price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise will be proportionately increased.
As further consideration for the transaction, the Company, along with the Investors, entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with an insider of the Company who placed an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock into escrow (the “Escrow Shares”), to be distributed if certain financial milestones of the Company are not met. Pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, if the Company’s EBIT for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 as reported in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report (the “2010 Actual EBIT”) is less than $7,000,000 (the “2010 Guaranteed EBIT”), then Investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis (determined by dividing each Investor’ ;s investment amount by the aggregate of all investment amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Purchase Agreement) for no additional consideration, some or all of the Escrow Shares determined as follows:
If the percentage determined by dividing the 2010 Actual EBIT by the 2010 Guaranteed EBIT is:
| i. | less than one hundred percent (100%), but at least ninety-five percent (95%), then five percent (5%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| ii. | less than ninety-five percent (95%), but at least eighty-five percent (85%), then twenty-five percent (25%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| iii. | less than eighty-five percent, but at least sixty-five percent (65%), then fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| iv. | less than sixty-five percent (65%), but at least fifty percent (50%), then seventy-five percent (75%) of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; and |
| v. | less than fifty percent (50%), then one hundred percent (100%) of the Escrow Shares shall be release to the Investors. |
If the EBIT for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as reported in the 2011 Annual Report (the “2011 Actual EBIT”) is less than $9,000,000 (the “2011 Guaranteed EBIT”), then Investors shall be entitled to receive on a “pro rata” basis some or all of the Escrow Shares that remain in escrow at such time (the “Remaining Escrow Shares”), as follows:
If the percentage determined by dividing the 2011 Actual EBIT by the 2011 Guaranteed EBIT is:
| i. | less than one hundred percent (100%), but at least ninety-five percent (95%), then five percent (5%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| ii. | less than ninety-five percent (95%), but at least eighty-five percent (85%), then twenty-five percent (25%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| iii. | less than eighty-five percent, but at least sixty-five percent (65%), then fifty percent (50%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; |
| iv. | less than sixty-five percent (65%), but at least fifty percent (50%), then seventy-five percent (75%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Investors; and |
| v. | less than fifty percent (50%), then one hundred percent (100%) of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be release to the Investors. |
If the 2011 Actual EBIT is greater than or equal to the 2011 Guaranteed EBIT, then all of the Remaining Escrow Shares shall be returned to such Company insider.
