NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION
China YCT International Group, Inc., formerly known as ItLinkz Group, Inc., Medical Technology & Innovations, Inc. and Southstar Productions, Inc. (the “Company” or “China YCT”), was incorporated in the State of Florida in January 1989.
On June 4, 2007 the Company entered into a Share Purchase and Merger Agreement dated June 1, 2007 with Landway Nano Bio-Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Landway Nano”), and with Huaqin Zhou and Xiaojin Wang, two investors associated with Landway Nano. Landway Nano is a holding company that owns 100% of the registered capital of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Spring”), a corporation organized under the laws of The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On July 31, 2007, pursuant to the Share Purchase and Merger Agreement, Huaqin Zhou and Xiaojin Wang purchased 500 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock for $530,000. On September 28, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Landway Nano by issuing to the shareholders of Landway Nano an additional 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were subsequently converted into 28,925,629 shares of common stock, representing 98.4% of the outstanding common shares. The Board of Directors of the Company also elected Mr.Yan Tinghe and Mr. Zhang Jirui, the executive officers of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical, to serve as members of the Board, and they together elected Yan Tinghe to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Zhang Jirui to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
As a result of these transactions, there was a change in control of the Company as the shareholders of Landway Nano became the majority shareholders of the Company.
For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, Landway Nano was treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes.
On November 23, 2007, the Company changed the name of the corporation from “Itlinkz Group, Inc.” to “China YCT International Group, Inc.”
China YCT, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Spring, is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing gingko and other dietary supplement products in the PRC.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and may not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principle of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, Landway Nano and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Spring. All significant inter-company transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivables
Accounts receivables are stated at net realizable value. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the management’s assessment of the recoverability of accounts and other receivables. A considerate amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the current credit worthiness of each customer and the related aging analysis. The Company has no account receivables as of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008.
Inventories
Inventories are composed of raw materials and packing materials for manufacturing, work in process, and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Management compares the
cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-like method over the following useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 30-35 years
Machinery, equipment and automobiles 7-15 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Advance to suppliers
Advance to suppliers represent the payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services received. The Company makes advances to certain vendors’ inventory purchases, construction projects and equipment purchases. The advance to suppliers totaled $484,029 and $834,284 as of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.
Unearned revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods or services is recognized at the time that goods are delivered or services are rendered. Receipts in advance for goods to be delivered or services to be rendered in a subsequent period are carried forward as unearned revenue.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS No.109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There were no deferred tax amounts at June 30, 2008 and 2007.
CHINA YCT INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% and were, until January 2008, subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax) on its taxable income. The company recorded income tax provisions of $640,079 and $201,733 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Value-added tax
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a Value-Added Tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 4% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product. The Company did not have any recorded VAT Payable or VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is usually filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.
Research and development
Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company developing its intellectual property. Research and development costs are expenses as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $66,222 and $-0-, respectively.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs in newspaper and televisions are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $196,763 and $106,929 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Mailing and handling costs
The Company accounts for mailing and handling fees in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-10 “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs” (EITF Issue No. 00-10). For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred $157,424 and $124,076 mailing and handling costs.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents available for dilution purposes as of June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process amounted to $228,372 and $68,953 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, tax payable, and other payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.
New accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 will become effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This standard permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The Company does not anticipate that the election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on results or operations or consolidated financial position.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future
Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company has adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as it incurred.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions.
This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to 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, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 seeks to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To achieve this increased transparency, SFAS 161 requires (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and gains and losses in a tabular format; (2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3) cross-referencing within the footnotes. SFAS 161 is effective on January 1, 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new disclosure requirements under SFAS 161.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or cash flows.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 4, 2008, Shandong Spring, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Entrusted Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shandong YCT, effective as of April 1, 2008. The Agreement provides that Shandong Spring will manage the operations of Shandong YCT. Included among its responsibilities will be the appointment of members of the Board of Directors of Shandong YCT, hiring of managerial and administrative personnel for Shandong YCT, control of all of the assets of Shandong YCT, and obtaining loans and other sources of financing for the operations of Shandong YCT, as needed. Shandong Spring also agreed to fund any unpaid debts incurred hereafter by Shandong YCT and to fund any shortfall between its net assets and its registered capital.
In exchange for the managerial services, Shandong YCT will pay to Shandong Spring a fee equal to all of the net profits earned by Shandong YCT.
On the same date, the parties entered into a Purchase Option and Cooperation Agreement with Mr. Yan Tinghe, who is the Chairman of the Company and the principal owner of Shandong YCT. The Purchase Option gives Shandong Spring the right to purchase Shandong YCT at any time when the transfer would be permitted by applicable laws. The purchase price for Shandong YCT would be the fair value price, which will be determined by the parties at the time the option is exercised.
On August 11, 2008, Shandong Spring Rescinded the Agreement with Shandong YCT due to a mutual misunderstanding of the effect of the Agreement. The Board of the Directors of the Company declared that the Agreement was void from the beginning.
| ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Outline of Our Business
China YCT International Group, Inc. is a holding company whose business is carried out entirely by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical”). Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was organized in 2005 under the laws of The People’s Republic of China. From January 2006 until January 2007 management was engaged in developing the company’s manufacturing facility and distribution network. In January 2007 Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical commenced revenue-producing activities, specifically distributing products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Yong Chun Tang”), which is owned by Yan Tinghe, the Chairman of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical.
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was originally organized as a subsidiary of Shandong Yong Chun Tang for the purpose of focusing on advanced technology related to the use of gingko as an aide to health. Shandong Yong Chun Tang later transferred ownership of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical to its equity-holders. Nevertheless the business plan remains focused on developing a fully-integrated business engaged primarily in the application of advanced biological engineering technology to the growth and refining of gingko and the use of its constituent compounds in products that will provide health benefits and/or cosmetic advantages.
In order to fully implement its business plan, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical will require a large capital infusion to finance the creation of state-of-the-art facilities for the extraction of compounds from gingko and the formulation of products based on those compounds. In order to fund its operations and to attract investment, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical is currently engaged in distributing health and beauty aides as well as toiletries manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. This relatively profitable business is generating funds that can be applied to Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical’s long-term plans. It is also helping Shandong Spring Pharmaceuticals develop the distribution network that it will use to market its proprietary products, once production begins.
Entrusted Management Agreement
On April 4, 2008, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical entered into an Entrusted Management Agreement with Shandong Yong Chun Tang, pursuant to which Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was to manage the operations of Shandong Yong Chun Tang. On the same date, the parties entered into a Purchase Option and Cooperation Agreement with Yan Tinghe, who is the Chairman of China YCT International Group, Inc. and principal owner of Shandong Yong Chun Tang.
On August 14, 2008 the parties agreed to rescind, ab initio, both the Entrusted Management Agreement and the Purchase Option and Cooperation Agreement. The reason for the rescission was the parties’ discovery of a mutual mistake regarding the effect of the agreements on the ability of Shandong Yong Chun Tang Bioengineering Co. Ltd. to do business in China. Since the mistake, if not corrected, would have led to a material reduction in the benefit that the parties expected to obtain from the agreements, the parties have declared the agreements void.
Shandong Yong Chun Tang Bioengineering Co. Ltd. will continue to serve as the principal supplier of goods sold by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Results of Operations
Fiscal year 2008 witnessed the emergence of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical as a marketing force. Having commenced revenue-producing operations only in January 2007, it realized $981,849 in revenue for the year ended March 31, 2007. However, during fiscal year 2008, which ended on March 31, 2008, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical realized $16,586,741 in revenue, including $5,958,113 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $5,381,028 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
Entering fiscal year 2009, we have continued our growth. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we realized $6,018,588 in revenue, compared to $1,915,769 in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Throughout the past year and a half of operations, no single product has accounted for more than 20% of our revenue, and a total of 38 products each contributed to revenue, including both health care supplements, cosmetics and toiletries.
All of the business reflected in the financial statements filed with this Report consisted of resale of products purchased by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical from Shandong Yong Chun Tang. The purchases were made pursuant to a Purchase & Sale Contract dated December 26, 2006, which sets forth the wholesale price that Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical pays to Shandong Yong Chun Tang for each of the 38 products governed by the Contract. Since Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was not an exclusive distributor for Shandong Yong Chun Tang during this period, its resale prices are determined in large part by competition. For that reason, the gross margin realized by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was nearly identical to gross margin in each quarter of the 2008 fiscal year, averaging 56%, despite the growth in sales from quarter to quarter.
Our operating expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were equal to 13.3% of our revenue, an improvement over the 18.7% ratio recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The improvement was primarily a result of the efficiencies that come from higher revenue. Notwithstanding the efficiencies that we expect to realize from continued growth, we expect that several factors will cause our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the coming months:
· | If we are successful in obtaining the funds to complete our manufacturing facility, we will initiate manufacturing activities. This will cause us to incur facility costs and the expense of administrative personnel. |
· | Although we have $3.5 million in property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet, we are not recording any significant amount of depreciation, since we have not put our facility into service yet. When we commence manufacturing, we will begin to depreciate our property, plant and equipment – which will have a substantially larger book value at that time – and incur the expense as a general expense to the extent it is not allocable to cost of goods sold. |
· | The recent merger of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical into a subsidiary of China YCT International Group has transferred to Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical the burden of paying the expenses associated with being a public company in the United States, including accounting and legal fees, and the expense of maintaining appropriate investor relationships. |
Our operations produced net pre-tax income of $2,562,232 in the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $700,640 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Commencing in January 2008, the income tax rate imposed by the government of China was reduced from 33% to 25%. The tax provisions left us with $1,922,153 net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 ($.07 per share), compared to $498,907 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 ($.04 per share). In future periods we expect to become eligible for the tax abatement that China affords newly-profitable companies – two years tax-free and two years at 50% tax rate. We cannot predict when we will obtain the abatement, however, since it occurs only after a lengthy application process.
Our business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; while the translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “accumulated other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business. In three months ended June 30, 2008, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $228,372 to our accumulated other comprehensive income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2008 Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical had $6,227,516 in working capital, an increase of $1,708,560 since the end of the last fiscal year on March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily a result of our net income for the quarter. In addition to $4,516,901 in cash, the greater portion of our current working capital consists of a debt of $1,120,186 due to us from Shandong Yong Chun Tang, our supplier. We expect that debt to be liquidated in the future by delivery to us of products for resale, which will correspondingly increase the cash flow from our operations. The remainder of our loans receivable from related parties was $947,646 owed to us by Changqing Paper Co., Ltd., which is payable on August 20, 2008.
Our current level of working capital is sufficient to fund our current operations. Ever since we commenced marketing activity in January, 2007, our operations produced positive cash flow, including $1,356,006 in fiscal year 2008 and $3,142,707 in the three months ended June 30, 2008. Because we carry relatively little inventory and no accounts receivable, we expect our marketing activities to continue to operate cash-positive. In future periods, however, when we commence our own manufacturing operations, the cash requirements of manufacturing may put pressure on our cash flow.
To this point the development of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical and its initial operations have been funded by capital contributions from its shareholders and by occasional loans from management and their associates, all of which have been repaid. As a result, at June 30, 2008 Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical had over $4.9 million in fixed assets and no debt. This situation provides an opportunity to fund future development and an expansion of operations through bank debt by pledging the company’s fixed assets as collateral. We expect that financing of this variety will be readily available to us, when our manufacturing facility approaches completion.
In order to fully implement our business plan, however, we will require capital contributions far in excess of our current asset value. Our budget for bringing our manufacturing facility to an operating level that assures profitability is $10 million. To fully implement our business plan - including development of a facility to utilize our proprietary method of extracting flavones from ginkgo by using enzyme technology - we expect to need $40 million. Our expectation, therefore, is that we will seek to access the capital markets in both the U.S. and China to obtain the funds we require. At the present time, however, we do not have commitments of funds from any source.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on their financial condition or results of operations.
Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results
You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Because we have not yet commenced our gingko production operations, unexpected factors may hamper our efforts to implement our business plan.
Our business plan contemplates that we will become a fully-integrated grower, manufacturer and marketer of products derived from gingko. At the present time, however, our entire business consists of distributing health and beauty aids manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will have to successfully complete the development of an agricultural facility and an industrial facility. The complexity of this undertaking means that we are likely to face many challenges, some of which are not yet foreseeable. Problems may occur with our raw material production and with the roll-out of efficient manufacturing processes. If we are not able to minimize the costs and delays that result, our business plan may fall short of its goals, and the current profitability or our distribution activities may be offset by losses from the new gingko business.
The capital investments that we plan may result in dilution of the equity of our present shareholders.
Our business plan contemplates that we will invest approximately $40 million in capital improvements during the next five years. At very least, we estimate that we will be unable to achieve profitable operations as an independent producer of gingko products unless we invest over $10 million in our facility. We intend to raise the largest portion of the necessary funds by selling equity in our company. At present we have no commitment from any source for those funds. We cannot determine, therefore, the terms on which we will be able to raise the necessary funds. It is possible that we will be required to dilute the value of our current shareholders’ equity in order to obtain the funds. If, however, we are unable to raise the necessary funds, our growth will be limited, as will our ability to compete effectively.
We are subject to the risk of natural disasters.
We intend to produce the greater portion of our raw materials. In particular, we intend to produce our own gingko. Gingko is a very sensitive crop, which can be readily damaged by harsh weather, by disease, and by pests. If our crops are destroyed by drought, flood, storm, blight, or the other woes of farming, we will not be able to meet the demands of our manufacturing facility, which will then become inefficient and unprofitable. In addition, if we are unable to produce sufficient products to meet demand, our distribution network is likely to atrophy. This could have a long-term negative effect on our ability to grow our business, in addition to the near-term loss of income.
If we lost control of our distribution network, our business would fail.
We depend on our distribution network for the success of our business. Competitors may seek to pull our distribution network away from us. In addition, if dominant members of our distribution network become dissatisfied with their relationship with Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical, a concerted effort by the distribution network could force us to accept less favorable financial terms from the distribution network. Either of these possibilities, if realized, would have an adverse effect on our business.
Increased government regulation of our production and/or marketing operations could diminish our profits.
At present, there is no significant government regulation of the health claims that participants in our industry make regarding their products. In addition, there is only limited government regulation of the conditions under which we will manufacture our products. Other developed countries, such as the United States and, in particular, members of the European Community, have far more extensive regulation of the operations of nutraceuticals and plant-based cosmetics, including strict limitations on the health-related claims that can be made without scientifically-tested evidence. It is not unlikely, therefore, that China will increase its regulation of our activities in the future. To the extent that new regulations required us to conduct a regimen of scientific tests of the efficacy of our products, the expense of such testing would reduce our profitability. In addition, to the extent that the health benefits of some of our products could not be fully supported by scientific evidence, our sales might be reduced.
Our bank deposits are not insured.
There is no insurance program in the PRC that protects bank deposits, in the way that bank deposits in the U.S. are given limited protection by the FDIC. If the bank in which we maintain our cash assets were to fail, it is likely that we would lose most or all of our deposits.
Our business and growth will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key personnel that are in high demand.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled agronomists, biologists, chemists, industrial technicians, production supervisors, and marketing personnel. In general, qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand. In a specialized scientific field, such as ours, the demand for qualified individuals is even greater. If we are unable to successfully attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed, we will be unable to implement our business plan.
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in China.
The People’s Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public company. If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.
Government regulation may hinder our ability to function efficiently.
The national, provincial and local governments in the People’s Republic of China are highly bureaucratized. The day-to-day operations of our business will require frequent interaction with representatives of the Chinese government institutions. The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be daunting. Significant delays can result from the need to obtain governmental approval of our activities. These delays can have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations. In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to agriculture and to nutraceutical manufacturing and marketing may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect our profitability.
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United States.
The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our operating results.
Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical generates revenues and incurs expenses and liabilities in Renminbi, the currency of the People’s Republic of China. However, as a subsidiary of China YCT International Group, it reports its financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars. As a result, our financial results will be subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. From time to time, the government of China may take action to stimulate the Chinese economy that will have the effect of reducing the value of Renminbi. In addition, international currency markets may cause significant adjustments to occur in the value of the Renminbi. Any such events that result in a devaluation of the Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar will have an adverse effect on our reported results. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.
We have limited business insurance coverage.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
China YCT International Group is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of China YCT International Group will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of China YCT International Group.
