After the appointment of the New Directors to the Board of Directors on April 13, 2011 the entire Board of Directors also established an Audit Committee of the Board. The initial members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Joseph Levinson and Ming Liu. Mr. Levinson was elected as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Since 2006, Mr. Liu has been a director of Sino-American Capital Group, LLC, an advisory firm based in the People’s Republic of China which is engaged in developing business and financial relationships between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China. From October 2006 to February 2007, Mr. Liu was the CEO of Ubrandit.com, a public company listed on the OTC BB. In February 2007, Ubrandit merged with Advanced Green Materials, a company based in Harbin in the People’s Republic of China. From 2004 to 2005, Mr. Liu was a member of the Board and Corporate Secretary to Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc., a Delaware holding Company listed on NASDAQ under the symbol ABAT whose Chinese subsidiary, ZQ Power-Tech, is engaged in the development and manufacture of lithium-ion batteries. From 2003 to 2004, Mr. Liu was Secretary to the Board of ZQ Power-Tech. From 1999 until 2003, Mr. Liu was Vice President of Harbin Ridaxing Science and Technology Co., Ltd., a technology provider located in Harbin, China.
Joseph Levinson became a director of Old Agricorp on October 4, 2010. He has been a United States Certified Public Accountant for more than 14 years.

In the 1990s, Mr. Levinson served as an executive of Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed China Strategic Holdings, where his major responsibilities included its subsidiary China Tire, one of the first Mainland Chinese companies to list on the NYSE. He is also the editor of Wall Street Guanxi: How Chinese Companies Can Maximize Their Value in the U.S. Capital Markets, a trade paperback published in Chinese by Beijing University Press in 2007.
