We have three operating entities with an aggregate fresh milk production capacity of approximately 149 tons (approximately 4,731 gallons) per day. We also have 39 exclusive individual partners with an aggregate fresh milk production capacity of approximately 245 tons per day.
Corporate History
We were incorporated on December 22, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We were formerly known as Trade Link Wholesalers Inc. (“Trade Link”). On April 4, 2011, the Board of Directors of Trade Link filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Nevada and changed our name from Trade Link to China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc.
On January 28, 2011, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) Value Development, a British Virgin Islands company, (ii) Value Development’s shareholders, (iii) us, and (iv) our former principal stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Value Development’s shareholders transferred to us all of the shares of Value Development in exchange for the issuance of 35,998,000 shares of our common stock (the “Securities Exchange”). The shares issued to Value Development’s shareholder in the Securities Exchange constituted approximately 87.80% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of and immediately after the consummation of the Securities Exchange. As a result of the Securities Exchange, Value Development became our wholly owned subsidiary and Value Development’s former principal stockholder became our principal stockholders.
Value Development Holdings was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on June 24, 2010 to serve as an investment holding company. Value Development Holdings owns 100% of the equity interest of Value Development Group, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on September 17, 2010. Value Development Group owns 100% of the equity interest of Harbin Jiasheng Consulting Managerial Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of China on September 15, 2010.
On December 21, 2010, Jiasheng Consulting entered into a series of contractual agreements with Zhongxian Information, Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and its shareholders, in which Jiasheng Consulting effectively assumed management of the business activities of Zhongxian Information and its 99% owned subsidiary Heilongjiang Xinhua Cattle, and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Zhongxian Information. Zhongxian Information was founded on January 21 2005, and is headquartered in the Limin Development Zone, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, with registered capital of 10 million RMB or $1,206,800. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including an Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement, and an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, through which Jiasheng Consulting has the right to provide exclusive complete business support and technical and consulting service to Zhongxian Information. Additionally, Zhongxian Information’s shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Zhongxian Information as security for Jiasheng Consulting to collect consulting and services fees provided to Zhongxian Information through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce Jiasheng Consulting’s rights to control and operate Zhongxian Information, the shareholders of Zhongxian Information have granted Jiasheng Consulting the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Zhongxian Information through an Exclusive Option Agreement.
Zhongxian Information was incorporated in China in January 2005 with registered capital of 10 million Renminbi or $1,206,800. In February 2006, Zhongxian Information acquired 99% of the registered capital of Xinhua Cattle, which was incorporated in China in December 2005 with registered capital of three million RMB or $371,580.
On November 23, 2011, Zhongxian Information acquired 100% of the equity interest of Yulong Cattle in exchange for (i) issuance of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) cash payment of $4,396,000, to Yulong Cattle’s former shareholders. Yulong Cattle was incorporated on December 4, 2007 under the laws of the PRC. Yulong Cattle, located in Harbin, Heilongjiang, northeast of China, is a livestock company that engages in cow breeding and fresh milk distribution, and primarily generates its revenue from the sale of fresh milk.
Our current corporate structure is set forth below:
Change in Business Model
In addition to selling fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products, we started to stream revenue from making commission from the local farmers on their monthly milk sales. Since June 2011, we started to sell our milk cows to local farmer in exchange for monthly payments from the local farmers on their monthly milk sales. The monthly payments represent the monthly installments, including interest, for the purchase price of milk cows sold or a mix of the purchase price and commissions for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk.
Sale of Milk Cows
In June 2011, we sold 2,000 milk cows to six local farmers with the purchase price being paid in installments over a five-year period with a minimum payment of 20% of the sales price annually. No down payment was made by the farmers for these sales in June 2011. In August 2011, through initial negotiation and subsequent modification of sales terms, we sold 5,635 milk cows to 20 local farmers with a 10% down payment with monthly installments plus interest at 7% on any remaining principal payment over a period of the remaining useful life of the cows sold. In September 2011, we also sold 3,787 milk cows to 13 local farmers with monthly installments over a period of the remaining useful life of the cows sold with no down payment. We also charge interest at a rate of 7% annually on the outstanding principal amount.
The receivable related to the sales of cows is included in notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. In addition to monthly installments for the purchase price of the cows sold, these local farmers who bought our cows in August and September 2011 also pay commissions to us each month for our assistance in arranging for the sale of their milk. Pursuant to the agreements with these local farmers entered in August and September 2011, we are also entitled to 30% of the monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold. The 30% monthly payments represent the monthly installments, including interest, for the purchase price of cows sold and commissions for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. We also entered into agreements with local farmers for a 30% commission of their monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold in June 2011. There were no other sales of milk cows to local farmers under these agreements during the year ended June 30, 2012.
By June 30, 2012, we had 14,067 cows, among which, 9,357 cows continue to be fed by local farmers, 400 cows are fed by our variable interest entity Xinhua Cattle, and 4,310 cows are fed by Yulong Cattle.
Starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the food costs for feeding cows increased significantly. The food costs paid to the farmers for feeding cows per month increased from RMB 200 or $32 to RMB 280 or $44, RMB 280 or $44 to RMB 350 or $55, RMB 300 or $47 to RMB 380 or $ 60 and RMB 450 or $ 71 to RMB 540 or $ 85for baby cows, pre-adult cows, young cows and milk cows respectively. This was the main reason we disposed of a large number of our cows and rented the grassland.
Products
Zhongxian Information’s products include (1) raw milk; and (2) processing and sale of green organic fertilizer.
Zhongxian Information has formed a livestock business system which integrates raw milk production and organic fertilizer production for direct sale to suppliers.
Our farmland is located in the Heilongjiang province which has a humid continental climate. This climate is ideal for the growth of grass, which in turn is essential in the grazing and feeding of our cattle that aids in our breeding of cows and calves, raw milk production and organic fertilizer production.
Raw Milk
We exclusively use Holstein cows for our milk production. Holstein cows are well-regarded for their abundant milk production and high quality milk. Currently, Zhongxian Information’s cows maintain a milking period of 305 days, producing milk that contains approximately 3.5% fat. Each adult cow is capable of producing 6500-7500 kg annually. Beijing Meilinong Technology Development Co, Ltd is our only milk cow supplier in fiscal 2012.
We maintain strict quality control and testing procedures to ensure our milk products are of a high quality. The milk production and quality controls ensure that the milk produced is high in nutrients and active biological substances.
Cow Feeders
Pursuant to a series entrust feeding agreements with local farmers, Xinhua Cattle outsources 90% of its cows to local farmers for the purposes of aiding in our milk production. Pursuant to these agreements, we pay for the fostering fees and feed costs. In return, the local farmers provide us with the raw milk produced by the cows.
Pursuant to these entrust feeding agreements, we entrust our cattle to local farmers to assist in a more efficient means to produce raw milk, as well as manure, used in our production of organic fertilizer. In that regard, we pay a monthly fee to local farmers that correlate to the number of calves, cattle and cows that are placed in their care. Pursuant to the agreements, local farmers are responsible for the feeding and raising of the cattle as well as the raw milk production. Additionally, these local farmers ensure that each cow produces a minimum of 20 kg of milk daily.
These agreements provide for a monthly fee of 30 RMB or $4.7 per calf, 50 RMB or $7.9 per adult cattle, 80 RMB or $12.6 for young cattle and 180 RMB for cows to be paid to the local farmers. We are responsible for reimbursing the local farmers for the feeding costs. These agreements provide that the monthly feeding costs are determined as follows: 200 RMB or $32 per calf, 280 RMB or $44 per adult cattle, 300 RMB or $47 per young cattle, and 450 RMB or $71 per cow.
Local farmers are responsible for the production of milk and are required to timely deliver the milk production daily. All of the raw milk produced by the cattle is owned by us.
Additionally, the local farmers are contractually obligated to conduct periodic breeding for the young cattle and cows, at our expense. The breeding is overseen by veterinarians of our choosing. All calves produced by our entrusted cows are our property, and all calve births are overseen by veterinarians of our choosing.
All cow waste produced by our entrusted cattle is owned by us. The local farmers are obligated to collect the waste and provide it to us for further processing, and eventual sale as organic fertilizer.
Raw Milk Customers
Mengniu Dairy Co. Ltd.
Mengniu Dairy Co. Ltd. (“Mengniu”) has been a purchaser of our raw milk products since 2006. Our current and previous contractual arrangement provides for the purchase of our milk at the base price of RMB 1.85 or $0.29/kilogram. However, the base price is based on the standard of our raw milk, namely, fat percentage of 3.1%, protein percentage of 2.95%, and the Level One microorganism quality (less than 0.5 million / ml). Mengniu has signed a two year contractual commitment to continue to purchase raw milk products from us until December 30, 2012.
Mengniu accounted for 3% of all milk sales for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 48% of all milk sales for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Feihe Dairy Co., Ltd. Longjiang Branch
Feihe Dairy Co., Ltd. Longjiang Branch (“Feihe Dairy”) has been a purchaser of our raw milk products since 2006. Our current and previous contractual arrangement provides for the purchase of our milk at the base price of RMB 1.85 or $0.29/kilogram. However, the base price is based on the standard of our raw milk, namely, fat percentage of 3.1%, protein percentage of 2.95%, and the Level One microorganism quality (less than 0.5 million / ml).

Feihe Dairy accounted for 2% of all our milk sales for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 48% of all our milk sales for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Organic Fertilizer
As a by-product of our milk and beef businesses, we use the resulting manure as a source of additional revenue. In that regard we combine the raw material, the manure, with inoculating complex microbial agents. Once we combine the manure with the microbial agents, we then ferment the product using biological and chemical processes and microbial fermentation technology, which produces the organic fertilizer.
Our fertilizer product is unique, in that it decomposes slowly, maintains long fertilizing effect and slow nutrient loss. It can effectively promote the proliferation of useful microorganisms and enhance soil fertility, resulting in more abundant crop growth.
The sale of organic fertilizer only makes up a very small amount of our total revenue. We secured USD $49,229 in revenue from our organic fertilizer sales in the year ending June 30, 2012 and USD $210,771 in revenue from our organic fertilizer sales in the year ending on June 30, 2011. Jianfa Bio-Organic Fertilizer Plant was the sole customer for our organic fertilizer products from 2006 to June 2011. Since July 2011, we have been selling our organic fertilizer products to Heilongjiang Soyang Bio Energy Development Ltd.
Farmland
We operate on 16,666,750 square meters of leased grassland. Xinhua is the only company utilizing this leased grassland and they currently have 400 cows grazing this leased grassland.
Research and Development
We had no expenses on research and development activities Company during the fiscal years 2012 and 2011.
Intellectual Property
We regard the protection of our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights as critical to our future success. We rely on contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We cannot assure you that these contractual arrangements or the other steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will prove sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our technology or to deter independent third-party development of similar technologies.

China Regulations
This section sets forth a summary of the most significant Chinese regulations or requirements that may affect our business activities operated in China or our shareholders’ right to receive dividends and other distributions of profits from the PRC subsidiaries.
Foreign Investment in PRC Operating Companies
The Foreign Investment Industrial Catalogue jointly issued by the MOFCOM and the National Development and Reform Commission or the NDRC in 2007 classified various industries/business into three different categories: (i) encouraged for foreign investment; (ii) restricted to foreign investment; and (iii) prohibited from foreign investment. For any industry/business not covered by any of these three categories, they will be deemed industries/business permitted to have foreign investment. Except for those expressly provided restrictions, encouraged and permitted industries/business are usually 100% open to foreign investment and ownership. With regard to those industries/business restricted to or prohibited from foreign investment, there is always a limitation on foreign investment and ownership. The PRC Subsidiary’s business does not fall under the industry categories that are restricted to, or prohibited from foreign investment and is not subject to limitation on foreign investment and ownership.
Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange
Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is governed by a series of regulations, including the Foreign Currency Administrative Rules (1996), as amended, and the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), as amended. Under these regulations, the Renminbi is freely convertible for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for direct investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC without the prior approval of SAFE. Pursuant to the Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), FIEs may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant Chinese government authorities may limit or eliminate the ability of FIEs to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange transactions for direct investment, loan and investment in securities outside the PRC are still subject to limitations and require approvals from SAFE.
Regulation of FIEs’ Dividend Distribution
The principal laws and regulations in the PRC governing distribution of dividends by FIEs include:
(i) | The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1979), as amended, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1983), as amended; |
(ii) | The Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1988), as amended, and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1995), as amended; |
(iii) | The Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and the Regulations of Implementation of the Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1990), as amended. |
Under these regulations, FIEs in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
Regulation of a Foreign Currency’s Conversion into RMB and Investment by FIEs
On August 29, 2008, SAFE issued a Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign exchange of FIEs. According to the Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain verification report from a local accounting firm before converting its registered capital of foreign currency into Renminbi, and the converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its permitted business scope. The Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in advance.
Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore Transactions
In October 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and was further supplemented by two implementation notices issued by SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. SAFE Notice 75 states that PRC residents, whether natural or legal persons, must register with the relevant local SAFE branch prior to establishing or taking control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests held by them. The term “PRC legal person residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 refers to those entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC natural person residents” as used in SAFE Notice 75 includes all PRC citizens and all other natural persons, including foreigners, who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. SAFE implementation notice of November 24, 2005 further clarifies that the term “PRC natural person residents” as used under SAFE Notice 75 refers to those “PRC natural person residents” defined under the relevant PRC tax laws and those natural persons who hold any interests in domestic entities that are classified as “domestic-funding” interests.
PRC residents are required to complete amended registrations with the local SAFE branch upon: (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filing with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in the shareholding or capital of the offshore entity, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments and these changes do not relate to return investment activities. PRC residents who have already organized or gained control of offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before SAFE Notice 75 was promulgated must register their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.
Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFE Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.
Government Regulations Relating to Taxation
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress or NPC, approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which we refer to as the New EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then-effective tax laws or regulations.
On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income Tax, or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year transition period since 1 January, 2008, during which time the tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate set out in the New EIT Law. From 1 January, 2008, for the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the promulgation of the New EIT Law , the tax rate will be increased to 18% for year 2008, 20% for year 2009, 22% for year 2010, 24% for year 2011, 25% for year 2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.
The New EIT Law provides that an income tax rate of 20% may be applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises”. Non-resident enterprises refer to enterprises which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the income source, with the payor acting as the obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefor such income taxes generally called withholding tax in practice. The State Council of the PRC has reduced the withholding tax rate from 20% to 10% through the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law. It is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be considered as located within the PRC. We are a U.S. holding company and substantially all of our income is derived from dividends we receive from our subsidiaries located in the PRC. Thus, if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by our subsidiary in the PRC are considered income sourced within the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a 10% withholding tax.
Such income tax may be exempted or reduced by the State Council of the PRC or pursuant to a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC shareholders reside. For example, the 10% withholding tax is reduced to 5% pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement Between Hong Kong and Mainland China if the beneficial owner in Hong Kong owns more than 25% of the registered capital in a company in the PRC.
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in the combined company’s tax rate in the future could have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and results of operations.
Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including MOFCOM, CSRC, SASAC, SAT, SAIC and SAFE, jointly amended and released the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore SPV formed for purposes of overseas listing of equity interest in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
On September 21, 2006, CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process. The application of the M&A Rules with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of CSRC approval requirement.
Regulations on Work Safety
On June 29, 2002, the Work Safety Law (“WSL”) of the PRC was adopted by the Standing Committee of the 9th National People’s Congress and came into effect on November 1, 2002, as amended on August 27, 2009. The WSL provides general work safety requirements for entities engaging in manufacturing and business activities within the PRC.

It sets forth general requirements for manufacturing and the storage of dangerous chemicals in China. The RSADC requires that companies manufacturing dangerous chemicals establish and strengthen their internal regulations and rules on safety control and fulfill the national standards and other relevant provisions of the State. In addition, according to the RSADC, companies that manufacture, store, transport or use dangerous chemicals shall be required to obtain corresponding approvals or licenses with the State Administration of Work Safety and its local branches and other proper authorities. Companies that manufacture or store dangerous chemicals without approval or registration with the proper authorities can be shut down, ordered to stop manufacturing or ordered to destroy the dangerous chemicals. Such companies can also be subject to fines. If criminal law is violated, the persons chiefly liable, along with other personnel directly responsible for such impropriety, shall be subject to relevant criminal liability.
Regulations on Environmental Protection

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Such discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.
We are a leading producer and distributor of raw fresh milk in China. We have three operating entities with an aggregate fresh milk production capacity of approximately 149 tons (approximately 4,731 gallons) per day. We also have 39 exclusive individual partners with an aggregate fresh milk production capacity of approximately 245 tons per day.
Change in Business Model
In addition to selling fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products, we started to stream revenue from making commission from the local farmers on their monthly milk sales. Since June 2011, we started to sell our milk cows to local farmer in exchange for monthly payments from the local farmers on their monthly milk sales. The monthly payments represent the monthly installments, including interest, for the purchase price of milk cows sold or a mix of the purchase price and commissions for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk.
Sale of Milk Cows
In June 2011, we sold 2,000 milk cows to six local farmers with the purchase price being paid in installments over a five-year period with a minimum payment of 20% of the sales price annually. No down payment was made by the farmers for these sales in June 2011. In August 2011, through initial negotiation and subsequent modification of sales terms, we sold 5,635 milk cows to 20 local farmers with a 10% down payment with monthly installments plus interest at 7% on any remaining principal payment over a period of the remaining useful life of the cows sold. In September 2011, we also sold 3,787 milk cows to 13 local farmers with monthly installments payable over a period of the remaining useful life of the cows sold with no down payment. We also charge interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal. The receivable related to the sales of cows is included in notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. In addition to monthly installments for the purchase price of the cows sold, these local farmers who bought our cows in August and September 2011 also pay commissions to us each month for our assistance in arranging for the sale of their milk. Pursuant to the agreements with these local farmers entered in August and September 2011, we are also entitled to 30% of the monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold. The 30% monthly payments represent the monthly installments, including interest, for the purchase price of cows sold and commissions for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. We also entered into agreements with local farmers for a 30% commission of their monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold in June 2011. No sales of milk cows to the local farmers under these agreements occurred during the year ended June 30, 2012.
By June 30, 2012, we had 14,067 cows, among which, 9,357 cows continue to be fed by local farmers, 400 cows are fed by our variable interest entity Xinhua Cattle, and 4,310 cows are fed by our variable interest entity Yulong Cattle.
Starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the food costs for feeding cows increased significantly. The food costs paid to the farmers for feeding cows per month increased from RMB 200 or $32 to RMB 280 or $44, RMB 280 or $44 to RMB 350 or $55, RMB 300 or $47 to RMB 380 or $60 and RMB 450 or $71 to RMB 540 or $85 for baby cows, pre-adult cows, young cows and milk cows respectively. This was the main reason we disposed of a large number of our cows and rented the grassland.
Stock Incentive Plan
On March 16, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain top-quality directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisers and independent contractors, provide substantial incentives, to act in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company and to reward extraordinary effort. The awards under the Plan may be in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance share units. The total number of shares of Stock reserved for distribution under the Plan is 3,000,000. There are currently no shares available to be issued.
On April 16, 2012, we granted 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock under the Plan to our employees and the shares were issued on April 27, 2012. The shares, with a fair value of $1,200,000 at the grant date, were fully vested on May 20, 2012 and the fair value of the shares was charged to operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
Our operating results are primarily affected by the following present factors:
Dairy Industry Growth. We believe the market for dairy products in China for the long term will be growing rapidly, driven by China’s economic growth, improved living quality and increased penetration of infant formula. We believe the demand of raw fresh milk will be increasing rapidly driven by the above factors.
Production Capacity. Our revenue largely depends on our production capacity. The production capacity in this industry is determined by variety, aging and number of adult cows. Accordingly, we acquired Yulong Cattle in November 2011 which increased our number of the cows by 3,800 and improved our production capacity by approximately 90 tons per day.
Raw Material Supply and Prices. The per unit costs of fresh raw milk are affected by the price volatility of raw material and feeding expenses in the China markets. For instance, the total food costs and feeding expenses paid to farmers increased by 17% in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and stayed stable to June 30, 2012. In response to the increased costs, we leased the 16,666,750 square meters grassland in October 2011, and we believe we can start to produce hay, one of the major raw materials on the leased grassland, in the near future.

Revenues
The revenue was primarily generated from sales of natural milk and natural milk sales commission from farmers to which we sold cows. We had total revenues of $29,822,284 for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $4,800,672 or 19%, compared to $25,021,612 for the year ended June 30, 2011. Although the changing of our business operating activities lead to the decrease in revenue of Xinhua, the successful acquisition of Yulong in November 2011 led to an increase in total revenue. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our revenue stream comprised sales of natural milk and sales commission from farmers. The following table shows the different revenue sources:
| | For the 12 months ended June 30, | |
| | | | | | | | Change | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | Amount | | | % | |
Sales of natural milk | | | 19,812,585 | | | | 24,898,813 | | | | (5,086,228 | ) | | | (20 | ) |
Sales commission | | | 10,009,699 | | | | 122,799 | | | | 9,886,900 | | | | 8051 | |
Total revenue | | | 29,822,284 | | | | 25,021,612 | | | | 4,800,672 | | | | 19 | |
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our revenue generated from natural milk selling was $19,812,585 which represented a decrease of $5,086,228 or 20% compared to $24,898,813 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, despite the factor that the milk sales of Yulong Cattle for the post-acquisition period from November 24, 2011 to June 30, 2012 was included in our revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. The main reason for the decrease was due to the decrease in the number of our milk cows. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the number of milk cows and the revenue per cow:
| | For the 12 months ended June 30, | |
| | | | | | | | Change | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | Amount | | | % | |
Sales of natural milk | | | 19,812,585 | | | | 24,898,813 | | | | (5,086,228 | ) | | | (20 | ) |
Average number of milk cows | | | 4,629 | | | | 9,560 | | | | (4,931 | ) | | | (52 | ) |
Revenue from per milk cow | | | 4,280 | | | | 2,604 | | | | 1,676 | | | | 64 | |
As we disposed of a large number of milk cows to local farmers in June, August and September of 2011, the average number of milk cows for the year ended June 30, 2012 decreased from 9560 to 4629 compared to the year ended June 30, 2011. In contrast to the decrease in number of milk cows, the revenue per milk cow increased to $4,280for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 from $2,604 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1,676 or 64%. Three reasons caused the increase in revenue from milk cow. First, the sales price was increased from RMB 1.95 or approximately $ 0.31 per kg for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 to RMB 3.35 or approximately $0.53 per kg, an increase of approximately RMB 1.40 or $ 0.22 or 72%. Second, we disposed of inferior domestic cows and kept superior imported Holstein cows which are still fed by Xinhua Cattle. Third, the addition of the milk cows owned by Yulong Cattle and the sale of our previously owned milk cows brought down the average age of our milk cows mix. The decrease in sales of natural milk was partially offset by sales commission from the local farmers of $10,009,699 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and has become one of our main revenue streams.
Gross profit
Our cost of goods sold consists of feeding food, feeding expenses and other direct production overhead which includes labor costs, depreciation and water & electricity, etc. Our operating activities changed since the quarter ended September 30, 2011 which resulted in reduced direct costs especially in feeding food costs because the milk production and distribution are now entirely the responsibility of the local farmers. The change in our operating activities to the new program has resulted in a marked improvement in our margins. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our cost of goods sold was reduced to $10,696,821 which represented a decrease of $1,235,028 or 10% compared to $11,931,849 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of adult cows. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the number of milk cows and the cost per cow:
| | For the 12 months ended June 30, | |
| | | | | | | | Change | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | Amount | | | % | |
Cost of goods sold | | | 10,696,821 | | | | 11,931,849 | | | | (1,235,028 | ) | | | (10 | ) |
Average number of milk cows | | | 4,629 | | | | 9,560 | | | | -4,931 | | | | 52 | |
Cost per milk cow | | | 2,311 | | | | 1,248 | | | | 1,063 | | | | 85 | |
The increase in cost per milk cow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 continued to be primarily caused by the reasons below:
o | Increase in the price of raw materials and feeding expenses |
o | The fixed costs allocated to a small number of adult cows caused the increase in unit cost; |
o | We changed the cost allocation method that more costs were allocated to adult cows; |
o | Not only did the food costs and feeding expenses increase, but also the auxiliary production costs increased as well, e.g, medicine, salary, etc; |
o | The acquisition of Yulong Cattle caused the increase in unit cost due to the lower gross profit margin of Yulong Cattle. |
Gross profit margin
Our gross profit margin increased to 64% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 from 52% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the change of our operating activities where the new revenue stream reduced direct costs, especially in feeding food costs because the milk production and distribution are entirely the responsibility of the local farmers. However, the gross profit margin from natural milk sales decreased from 52% to 46% due to the increase in raw materials and feeding expenses, although the sales price has significantly increased. We believe that the price of the raw materials will keep increasing in the future and that is one of the reasons we disposed of a large number of adult cows.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses increased to $2,292,568 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 from $1,397,561 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. It increased by $895,007 or 64%. The main operating expenses consist of human resources, depreciation, professional service fees for filings required by U.S. securities laws, consulting expenses to a Chinese financial advisory company, business taxes and expenses for stock option plan, etc. Due to the new revenue stream introduced, we incurred $619,307 and $6,754 in business tax for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We classified it as a selling expense which is included in operating expenses. This is the main reason for the increase in operating expenses during the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, on April 16, 2012, we granted 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock under the Plan to our employees and the shares were issued on April 27, 2012. The shares, with a fair value of $1,200,000 at the grant date, were fully vested on May 20, 2012 and the fair value of the shares was charged to operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Operating income
As a result of the foregoing, we had operating income of $16,832,895 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2012, representing an increase of $5,140,693, as compared to an operating income of $11,692,202 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011.
Non-operating income
Non operating income consists of a bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of Yulong Cattle and other non operating income. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, the bargain purchase gain was $5,721,596. The other non operating income consists primarily of interest income of $652,992 charged on the outstanding notes receivable from the farmers. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, we also have a non operating gain of $254,934 from the disposal of biological properties and a governmental subsidy of $110,320.
Net Income
Our 99% owned subsidiary, Xinhua Cattle and 100% owned subsidiary, Yulong Cattle are entitled to a tax exemption for the full Enterprise Income Tax in China due to a government tax preferential policy for the dairy farming industry. Heilongjiang Zhongxian Information is subject to an Enterprise Income Tax of 25% and files its own tax returns. The provision for income taxes was $6,064,917 including the income taxes on the bargain purchase gain and $2,866,622 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net income was $17,554,833 and $8,983,781 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively which represented an increase in $8,571,052 or 95%. As we own 99% of Xinhua Cattle’s shares, non-controlling interests attributed to the minority interest shareholder was $145,750 and $130,597 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our net income attributable to the Company was $17,409,083 representing $0.37 per share and $8,853,184 representing $0.23 per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currency, Renminbi, is our functional currency. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Statements of income and other comprehensive income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our consolidated financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). 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. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, foreign currency translation adjustments of $570,593 and $892,351 have been reported as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, we have no bank debt but amounts owed to shareholders for $241,612 and $230,356, respectively. The amounts due to our shareholders is for the professional services incurred for listing in U.S stock market which was paid from our shareholders’ personal bank accounts because of the restriction of official bank transfers abroad by the Bank of China. At the same time, we had $16,941,737 and $5,525,180 in cash at June 30, 2012 and 2011 as well as net working capital totaling $23,384,004 and $8,216,425, respectively.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our operating activities provided $15,433,905 in net cash, compared to $12,835,678 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. The net cash provided in the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 was much lower than our net income primarily due to the payment of $4,387,275 for the upfront payment of the grassland lease.
Over the long term, our expectation is that we will utilize our capital resources as well as any additional investments that we secure in order to expand our operating activities. At the present time, however, we are able to operate profitably without significant additional investment. Moreover, our observation of the equity markets indicates that we would be unlikely to obtain financing on favorable terms at this time. Accordingly, our near term plan is to continue the program that we initiated during the past year, utilizing the resources available to us.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the SEC which apply to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the interim information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary sources of revenues are derived from (a) sale of fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products and (b) commissions from local farmers on their monthly milk sales. The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Revenues from sales of goods are recognized when the goods are delivered and the title is transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Milk sales revenue is recognized when the title to the goods has been passed to customers, which is the date when the goods are delivered to designated locations and accepted by the customers and the previously discussed requirements are met. Fresh milk is delivered to our customers on a daily basis. The customers’ acceptance occurs upon inspection of quality and measurement of quantity at the time of delivery. The Company does not provide the customer with the right of return. Sales commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on monthly sales reports received.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Wei, Wei & Co., LLP September 28, 2012 |

1. ORGANIZATION
China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Trade Link Wholesalers, Inc. (“Trade Link”), was incorporated on December 22, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On April 4, 2011, the Board of Directors of Trade Link filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to effect the name change from Trade Link to China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc.
On January 28, 2011, Trade Link entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) Value Development Holdings, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, (“Value Development”) (ii) Value Development’s stockholders, (iii) Trade Link, and (iv) Trade Link’s principal stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Value Development and the Value Development stockholders transferred to Trade Link all of the shares of Value Development in exchange for the issuance of 35,998,000 shares of Trade Link’s common stock as set forth in the Exchange Agreement, so that the Value Development stockholders own 87.80% of Trade Link’s outstanding shares (the “Share Exchange”).
On January 28, 2011, Value Development completed the acquisition of Harbin Jiasheng Consulting Managerial Co. Ltd. (“Jiasheng Consulting” or “WFOE”), a holding company. Jiasheng Consulting has entered into Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) agreements with Mr. Liu Zhengxin, the Company’s Chief HR Officer, and Mr. Wang Youliang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as with Heilongjiang Zhongxian Information Co., Ltd. (“Zhongxian Information”). Mr. Liu Zhengxin holds a 62% equity interest in Zhongxian Information and Mr. Wang Youliang holds a 38% equity interest in Zhongxian Information. Pursuant to a VIE agreement signed by Mr. Liu Zhengxin and Mr. Wang Youliang, Jiasheng Consulting now controls all management responsibilities of Zhongxian Information. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a shareholder voting rights proxy agreement, exclusive consulting and service agreement, exclusive call option agreement and equity pledge agreement, through which Jiasheng Consulting has the right to provide exclusive and complete business support and technical and consulting services to Zhongxian Information for an annual fee in the amount of Zhongxian Information’s yearly net profits after tax. Additionally, Zhongxian Information’s stockholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Zhongxian Information as security for the collection of consulting and services fees provided through an Equity Pledge Agreement.
CHINA MODERN AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION, INC.

1. ORGANIZATION (continued)
In order to further reinforce Jiasheng Consulting’s rights to control and operate Zhongxian Information, the stockholders of Zhongxian Information have granted Jiasheng Consulting the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Zhongxian Information through an Exclusive Option Agreement.
At the closing of the Share Exchange, Trade Link cancelled 5,500,000 shares of its common stock held by its principal stockholders.
The share exchange transaction constituted a reverse takeover transaction. Accordingly, reverse takeover accounting has been adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. (the legal acquirer), but are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Value Development and its subsidiaries (the accounting acquirer). Before and after the Share Exchange, Value Development, Value Development Group Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Value Development), Jiasheng Consulting, and Zhongxian Information and Zhongxian Information’s 99% owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Xinhua Cattle Industry Co., Ltd. (“Xinhua Cattle”) are under common control. Therefore, the reorganization was effectively a legal recapitalization accounted for as transactions between entities under common control at the carry over basis, in a manner similar to pooling-of-interests accounting. The effect of the reorganization was applied retroactively to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements as if the current structure existed since inception of the periods presented.
Zhongxian Information and Xinhua Cattle are engaged in acquisition, breeding and rearing of dairy cows, and production and sale of fresh milk to manufacturing and distribution companies. Zhongxian Information was established in China in January 2005 with registered capital of 10 million Renminbi (“RMB”). In February 2006, it acquired 99% of the registered capital of Xinhua Cattle, which was established in China in December 2005 with registered capital of three million RMB. Xinhua Cattle had no significant activities and its cost approximated the fair value at the date of acquisition.
On November 23, 2011, Zhongxian Information acquired 100% of the equity interest of Yulong Cattle Industry Co., Ltd. (“Yulong Cattle”) from Yulong Cattle’s original stockholders for consideration of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and cash consideration amounting to $4,396,000. Yulong Cattle was a privately held company in China engaged in the acquisition, breeding and rearing of dairy cows, and production and sale of fresh milk to manufacturing and distribution companies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Change of Reporting Entity and Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The reverse acquisition described in Note 1 was treated as recapitalization of the Company. As such, China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Manual Item 2.6.5.4 “Reverse Acquisitions” requires that “in a reverse acquisition, the historical shareholder’s equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger is retroactively reclassified (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the registrant’s and the accounting acquirer’s stock by an offset to paid-in capital.” Therefore, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if Value Development and its subsidiaries had always been the reporting company and then on the reverse acquisition date, had changed its name and reorganized its equity.
Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements the financial statements of its VIEs. ASC 810 requires a 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. VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the financial statements of China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Value Development, Value Development Group Limited, Jiasheng Consulting, and its VIE, Zhongxian Information and Zhongxian Information’s 99% owned subsidiary, Xinhua Cattle and Zhongxian Information’s newly acquired 100% owned subsidiary, Yulong Cattle from November 23, 2011, the date of acquisition. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Change of Reporting Entity and Basis of Accounting and Presentation (continued)
Zhongxian Information and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Chinese VIEs”) have no assets that are collateral for or restricted solely to settle their obligations. The creditors of the Chinese VIEs do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit. Because Value Development, Value Development Group Limited, Jiasheng Consulting are established for the sole purpose of holding ownership interest and do not have any operations, the financial statement amounts and balances are those of Chinese VIEs.
Under ASC 810, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the enterprise has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affected the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise’s determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence of kick-out rights or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de facto agents, has the unilateral ability to exercise those rights.
The Chinese VIEs’ actual stockholders do not hold any kick-out rights that will affect the consolidation determination.
Foreign Currency Translations
All Company assets are located in People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the RMB. The Company uses the United States dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Statements of income and other comprehensive income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).

Balance sheet items, except for stockholders’ equity, as of year end | | | 0.1581 | | | | 0.1547 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Amounts included in the statements of income, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the year | | | 0.1576 | | | | 0.1507 | |
Foreign currency translation adjustments of $570,593 and $892,351 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been reported as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Although government regulations now allow convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that the RMB could be converted into US dollars at that rate or any other rate.
The value of RMB against the US dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition in terms of US dollar reporting.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary sources of revenues are derived from (a) sale of fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products and (b) commission from local farmers on their monthly milk sales. The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenues from sales of goods are recognized when the goods are delivered and the title is transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
Milk sales revenue is recognized when the title to the goods has been passed to customers, which is the date when the goods are delivered to designated locations and accepted by the customers and the previously discussed requirements are met. Fresh milk is delivered to its customers on a daily basis. The customers’ acceptance occurs upon inspection of quality and measurement of quantity at the time of delivery. The Company does not provide the customer with the right of return. Sales commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on monthly sales reports received.
Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC
The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.
CHINA MODERN AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC (continued)
The Company believes that Jiasheng Consulting’s contractual agreements with Zhongxian Information are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. The stockholders of Zhongxian Information are also the senior management of the Company and therefore the Company believes that they have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, Zhongxian Information and its stockholders may fail to take certain actions required for the Company’s business or to follow the Company’s instructions despite their contractual obligations to do so. Furthermore, if Zhongxian Information or its stockholders do not act in the best interests of the Company under the contractual arrangements or any dispute relating to these contractual arrangements remains unresolved, the Company will have to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements through the operations of PRC law and courts and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements, which may make it difficult to exert effective control over Zhongxian Information, and its ability to conduct the Company’s business may be adversely affected.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include accounts receivable, interest receivable, notes receivable, loans receivable, accrued expenses and other payables and stockholder loans. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the carrying values of accounts receivable, interest receivable, accrued expenses and other payables and stockholders loans approximated their fair values due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of notes receivable and loans receivable are valued at their net realizable value which approximates the fair value.
Bargain Purchase Gain
In accordance with FASB ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree were recognized at the acquisition date and measured at their fair values as of that date. The fair values of the identifiable net assets of Yulong Cattle exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and accordingly, that excess was recognized as a bargain purchase gain in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
Advertising Cost
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. No advertising costs were incurred for the year ended June 30, 2012. Advertising costs were $24,323 for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if required. Receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses when necessary resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. The Company considers all accounts receivable at June 30, 2012 and 2011, to be fully collectible and, therefore, did not provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts. For the years presented, the Company did not write off any accounts receivable as bad debts.
Inventories
Inventories, comprised principally of livestock feed, are valued at the lower of cost or market value. The value of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method.
The Company estimates an inventory allowance for excessive or unusable inventories. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances, if any. There was no allowance for excessive or unusable inventories as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 mainly represent the prepayments of approximately $310,000 and $240,000 for consulting services, respectively.
Prepaid Land Lease
Prepaid land lease represents the prepayment of $4,387,275 for grassland rental (see Note 8).

Loan Receivable
Loan receivable at June 30, 2011 represents a non-interest bearing loan to Yulong Cattle. The loan was converted to a non-interest bearing security deposit upon the execution of the letter of intent in July 2011, and was subsequently applied against the acquisition purchase price in November 2011 (see Note 4).
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the asset, including capitalized interest during the construction period, and any expenditures that substantially increase the assets value or extend the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the periods benefited. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.
The estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment categories are as follows:
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 10 years |
Automobile | 4 and 10 years |
Building and building improvements | 20 and 10 years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company may recognize an impairment of a long-lived asset in the event the net book value of such asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Biological Assets
Biological assets consist of dairy cows for milking purposes.
Immature Biological Assets
Immature biological assets are recorded at cost, including acquisition costs, transportation costs, insurance expenses, and feeding costs, incurred in raising the cows. Once the cow is able to produce milk, the cost of the immature biological asset is transferred to mature biological assets using the weighted average cost method.
Mature Biological Assets
Mature biological assets are recorded at their original purchase price or weighted average immature biological assets transfer cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of eight years using the straight-line method. The estimated residual value is 10%. Feeding and management costs incurred on mature biological assets are included as cost of goods sold. When biological assets, including male cows, are retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of business, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss will be included in the results of operations for the respective period. For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, losses of $108,792 and $54,202, respectively, are included in the cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.
During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold 9,622 (mature biological assets) and 816 (immature biological assets) of its cows. The related gain of $254,934 is included in other non-operating income in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income. $1,275,030 of the $10,806,536 sales price was paid in full at the time of sale. The remaining sales price is included in notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).
During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold 2,000 of its cows (mature biological assets) and the related gain of $142,562 is included in other non-operating income in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income. The related sales price is included in notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).

Biological Assets (continued)
Mature Biological Assets (continued)
The Company reviews the carrying value of its biological assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current health status and production capacity. There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Government Subsidies
Government subsidies are primarily comprised of financial support from the local government to Yulong Cattle for modern livestock production development. The subsidy was for purchase of high quality baby cows and construction of cowhouses used in large-scale livestock farms. Government subsidies amounted to $110,320 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to the undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiary under PRC law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Zhongxian Information is subject to the tax rate at 25% for the earnings when distributed by Xinhua Cattle and Yulong Cattle. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, undistributed earnings allocated to Zhongxian Information were approximately $48,500,000 and $29,360,000, respectively.

Income Taxes (continued)
ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company does not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions.
The income tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are summarized as follows:
United States
The Company is subject to United States tax at graduated rates from 15% to 35%. No provision for income tax in the United States has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
BVI
Value Development is incorporated in BVI and is governed by the income tax laws of BVI. According to current BVI income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for the Company is 0%.
Hong Kong
Value Development Group Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the income tax laws of Hong Kong, the Company is not subject to tax on non Hong Kong source income.

Income Taxes (continued)
PRC
Xinhua Cattle and Yulong Cattle are entitled to a tax exemption for the full Enterprise Income Tax in China due to a government tax preferential policy for the dairy farming industry. Zhongxian Information is subject to an Enterprise Income Tax at 25% and files its own tax returns. Consolidated tax returns are not permitted in China.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and SEC SAB 98. Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. There were no diluted shares outstanding during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Statutory Reserve Fund
Pursuant to corporate law of the PRC, the Company’s Chinese VIEs and subsidiaries are required to transfer 10% of their net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the its registered capital. The statutory reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or used to increase registered capital, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such use is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported earnings.
3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will have a significant, if any, impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”) that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the required annual goodwill impairment test. The ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”) that improves the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income (loss) by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

In both methods, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to net income (loss) in the statement(s) where the component of net income (loss) and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) are presented. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”) that provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and expands certain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 amends U.S. GAAP to provide common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements with International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with no early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”). ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This eliminates an entity’s ability to assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform Step 2 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On November 23, 2011, Zhongxian Information acquired 100% of the equity of Yulong Cattle for consideration of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $3,060,000 and cash consideration of RMB28,000,000 (US$4,396,000), of which RMB14,000,000 (US$2,186,800) was paid by a security deposit pursuant to a letter of intent with respect to the acquisition dated July 11, 2011, as amended on September 26, 2011.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805.

Notes receivable are related to the sales of cows (mature biological assets) to local farmers. Xinhua Cattle sold 3,787, 5,635, and 2,000 of its cows to local farmers in September 2011, August 2011, and June 2011, respectively. The cost and accumulated depreciation were removed from the accounts and a gain was recognized.
According to the agreements signed with the local farmers in June 2011, the sales price will be collected over five years, with a minimum payment of 20% of the sales price to be paid per year. The related receivable is recorded at its present value at a discount rate of 12%, which is commensurate with interest rates for notes with similar risk. The Company also entered into agreements with these local farmers for a 30% commission of their monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold in exchange for the Company’s assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. Pursuant to the agreements signed in August and September 2011, the sales price will be collected in monthly installments plus interest at 7% on any outstanding balance, over the remaining useful lives of the cows, which range from three to eight years. Local farmers are required to pay 30% of monthly milk sales generated from the cows sold to the farmers. The required 30% monthly payments are to be applied first to the monthly installment for the cows sold and the balances as commission income for the Company’s assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company received principal and interest payments of $1,728,852 and commission income of $7,887,260 under these two agreements.
The receivable related to the sales of cows is included in notes receivable in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and 2011. The related commission receivable of $1,074,507 and $126,059 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is included in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company obtained demand loans from two of its stockholders which are non-interest bearing. The loans of $241,612 and $230,356 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are reflected as stockholder loans in the consolidated balance sheets.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”), specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented at fair value on a recurring basis.

Restricted Net Assets
Under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are restricted in their ability to transfer certain of its net assets to the Company in the form of dividend payments, loans or advances. The restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs amounted to $41,989,952 and $22,810,276 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.
14. PARENT COMPANY ONLY CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
The Company’s operations and revenues are conducted and generated in PRC, and all of the Company’s revenues being earned and currency received are denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company’s ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.
Schedule I of Article 5-04 of Regulation S-X requires the condensed financial information of the parent company shall be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. For purposes of the above test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the registrant’s proportionate share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company by subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third party. The condensed parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X as the restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms due to a material weakness related to a lack of accounting personnel with sufficient experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of June 30, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to a material weakness related to a lack of accounting personnel with sufficient experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Liu Enjia, Mr. Wang Youliang, and Ms. Shan Yanqin were appointed to serve on our board of directors immediately after the closing of the share exchange on January 28, 2011 and will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders (or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified) or until they are removed in accordance with our bylaws.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with our directors or executive officers.
Board Committees
We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports.

| | Number of Late Reports | | | Transactions Not Timely Reported | | | Known Failures to File a Required Form | |

Shan Yanqin | | | 1 | | | | 0 | | | | 1 | |
Liu Yanyan | | | 1 | | | | 0 | | | | 1 | |
Qin Libei | | | 1 | | | | 0 | | | | 1 | |
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and chief financial and principal accounting officer. We are in the process of formulating a code of ethics and intend to adopt one in the future.
