Aquaculture Operations
Revenue from fishery increased by $13,244,291, or 518%, to $15,799,765 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $2,555,474 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to our increased contract service income from fishery, wholesale center one and prawn development contracts and sale of fish for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to consulting income and sale of fish for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
(1) The 1st Demonstration fish farm (Fish Farm 1), situated within the district of Enping City operating under “Jiangman A Power Fishery Development Co. Ltd.” (“JFD”), was built and completed for operation in February 2011 and is underway with production. During the second quarter of 2012, Capital Award, Inc. ("CA") purchased from JFD and sold just under 260,000 fish of the sleepy-cod variety averaging about 532g/fish compared to Q1 where 76,000 sleepy-cod @ 575g/fish were sold. Between external growers and the open dam farm, CA purchased 230,000 sleepy cod (350g/fish average) to expand JFD’s inventory.
(2) The 1st Demonstration prawn farm (Prawn Farm 1) is also situated within the district of Enping City. As of April 30, 2012, all basic infrastructure work had been carried out with construction work now in progress. A long-lasting rainy season that had begun in mid-April and continued through the month of July has curtailed construction, and while progress has been made, the farm building, brood-stock dams, and grow-out tanks expected to be partly constructed by the end of July will not be ready for final installation work until August of 2012.
(3) The 2nd Fish and Eel Farm (Fish Farm 2) is situated within District of Jiangman City. Its development was begun in May of 2011, and management expects the Company’s Phase 1 to be completed during 2012, and Phase 2 development, (involving the grow-out farms, the nursery fingerling farm, the Research and Development Station and all other associated facilities), will begin during January of 2013 with production operations beginning by year-end 2013.
(4) The 2nd prawn farm (Prawn Farm 2) is situated within the District of Zhong Shan City. Its development was begun in November 2011. As of April 30, 2012, up to 75% of Phase 1’s development work was completed, and although work was still in progress, the farm was sufficiently equipped to start up production activities, having resulted in 2 million prawn flies (fingerlings) produced and sold to the regional prawn growers on May 3, 2012. By June 30, 2012, Prawn Farm (2) has produced more than 40 million Mexican White prawn flies with a survival rate of 94.6%, resulting in more than 37.5 million one-week old flies sold to local growers at an average of RMB158 per 10,000 flies (equivalent to about $25.00 per 10,000 flies).
During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, there were over 300,000 sleepy-cod fish taken from the open dam farm, of which 149,000 were transferred to JFD for further grow-out, and the balance of 151,000 (average size 514g/fish) were sold by CA to wholesale markets in Guangzhou City, PRC. Current inventory as of June 30, 2012 is estimated to be approximately 180,000 fish in the open dam farm.
Cattle Farm, Beef and Fertilizer Operations
Revenue from the cattle farm increased by $827,389, or 87%, to $1,781,966 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $954,577 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in cattle farm revenue was primarily due to increased development of contract services for the cattle farm for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Revenue from beef increased by $1,541,461or 78% to $3,514,539 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $1,973,078 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.The increase was primarily due to our increase of sales of beef and our installment of new weather insulated facilities to maintain production.
Revenue from organic fertilizer increased by $2,170,154 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the start-up of the new business of organic fertilizer in this quarter.
Sanjiang A Power sold 2,088 metric tons in the second quarter of 2012 and manufactured no organic fertilizer during this period with current inventory levels at 3,029 metric tons. The Company sold 5,939 metric tons and produced 285 metric tons of livestock feed with current inventory levels at 1,404 metric tons. The Company also sold 915 head of over 13 month-old cattle with current inventory levels at 1,450 head; and saw its restaurant operations continue to perform well.
On May 25, 2012, a Sino Joint Venture Agreement (an “SJVA”) was executed between MEIJI and another group of Chinese businessmen for the development and construction of a cattle farm at a 500 Mu site in YaneXiaoban Village, Enping District for the growth of cattle and sheep using our Aromatic Feed formula and our free ranging systems.
On May 6, 2012, a supply contract was executed with a well-established farm at Chang Chun District, Jilin Province for the supply of 4,000 head of young cattle.
Plantation Operations
Revenue from plantation of flowers increased by $859,622, or 70%, to $2,081,863 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,222,241 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the increase of wholesale prices in fresh and dried flowers in this quarter.
As of June 30, 2012, construction and building of half of the green houses were completed, and trials on better disease control and fertilizing programs were commenced during the first week of July, 2012.
Harvest results as of June 30, 2012 were similar to June last season, where more than 3.5 million pieces of fresh flowers at an average of RMB 0.85 per piece were sold (about 54.5% higher in price compared to the same period last year), and dried 175,350 Kg of dried flowers (equivalent to about 9.75 million pieces of fresh flowers) were sold at an average of RMB 58/Kg, which also is higher than last season’s sale price of RMB 46/Kg.
Marketing and Distribution Network
On May 30, 2012, a group of Chinese businessmen and the Company formed and began operating a Sino Joint Venture Company. The Chinese businessmen also entered into and a Consulting and Servicing Agreement with the Company and CA, respectively for the development and establishment of a Wholesale and Seafood Processing Shop ("WSPS"). Management anticipates that preliminary operation of the WSPS will start in August 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had ordered over 80 metric tons of mixed variety fish from Norway, of which over 60 metric tons was delivered to a wholesaler/processor operating in Malaysia, and another 20 metric tons was imported to China to be sold by our WSPS. The Company also ordered over 260 metric tons of peeled shrimp from Vietnam and Cambodia suppliers targeting delivery for resale at WSPS beginning in August 2012. The peeled shrimp are ocean captured species requiring sanitary certification by the health department of each of Vietnam and Cambodia, and are subject to clearance by the China Commercial Goods Investigation Authority before being imported to China.
On June 1, 2012 a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) was executed between the Company and the controlling shareholder of a restaurant group, Guangzhou City Wang XiangCheng Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd. (“WXCE”). WXCE is the developer and franchisor of a restaurant chain under the Brand Name “Leonie” having restaurant operations located throughout Malaysia and Guangzhou City, PRC. Pursuant to the MOU, the Company (or its designee) will have the right to acquire up to 51% of WXCE within two years of its execution for a price equal to 125% of the net tangible assets of 51% of WXCE at the time the purchase is consummated. In the interim, the MOU provides that the Company will be the main supplier of beef, HU flowers and seafood to WXCE. Management believes this arrangement will allow the Company to begin conducting its retailing activity earlier than expected and at a lower initial cost that it would have incurred had it opted to attempt to create its own restaurant chain.
