CHINA YCT INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008 (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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.
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.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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, 2009 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 (UNAUDITED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
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 accounts receivables as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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. There was no advance to suppliers as of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009.
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-line 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.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue policies are in compliance with the United States Accounting Guide. 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 unearned revenue.
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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.740 "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 September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $174,429 and $77,217, respectively.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs in newspaper and televisions are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $790,150 and $332,599 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Mailing and handling costs
The Company accounts for mailing and handling fees in accordance with the United States Accounting Guide. For the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $633,289 and $489,293 mailing and handling costs, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation expense pursuant to the United States ASC Codification, which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the above provisions, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). Deferred stock compensation represents shares issued to employees that will be vested over a certain service period. Deferred stock compensation is included in additional paid-in capital as an offset to equity.
Also in accordance with the FASB ASC Codification, when the Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation, the fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings 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 September 30, 2009 and 2008.
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.
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.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the filing date and has determined there were no material events since the balance sheet date of this report.

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. 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 $70,697 and $361,231 as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at September 30, 2009 were translated at 6.8263 RMB to 1.00 US$ as compared to 6.8336 RMB to 1.00 US$ at March 31, 2009. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were 6.8305 RMB to 1.00 US$ and 6.8972 RMB to 1.00 US$, respectively.
New accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, FASB established Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of the Codification is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, FASB updated the accounting standards related to the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The standard amends current consolidation guidance and requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in VIEs. The standard shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods

In May 2009, FASB issued FAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events," which was subsequently codified within ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”. The standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 855 to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide guidance on estimating the fair value of a financial asset or liability when the trade volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased relative to historical levels. The standard requires entities to disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, debt and equity securities as defined by GAAP shall be disclosed by major category. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. The standard amends existing guidance on other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities and requires that the credit portion of other-than-temporary impairments be recorded in earnings and the noncredit portion of losses be recorded in other comprehensive income. The standard requires separate presentation of both the credit and noncredit portions of other-than-temporary impairments on the financial statements and additional disclosures. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. At the date of adoption, the portion of previously recognized other-than-temporary impairments that represent the noncredit related loss component shall be recognized as a cumulative effect of adoption with an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The adaption of this standard did not have a material effect on the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 an affiliated company that Mr. Yan serves as a majority shareholder.
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 through 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 distribution of 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 could be used to market its own proprietary products, once the production begins.
Results of Operations – For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
In general, the Company continued to benefit from the ongoing trend of growth and expanding acceptance of its products. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company continued to witness the emergence and development of Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical as a marketing force. Having commenced revenue-producing operations just in January 2007, it realized $25,817,447 in revenue for the year ended March 31, 2009.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, our sales increased slightly as compared to the same period a year earlier. The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and provides information regarding the dollar and percentage increase or (decrease) from the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to the second quarter of fiscal 2010:
| | | Q2 2010 | | | | Q2 2009 | | | Change in $ | | | Variance | |
Net Revenue | | $ | 8,000,675 | | | $ | 7,320,505 | | | $ | 680,170 | | | | 9 | % |

Net Income | | $ | 2,687,404 | | | $ | 2,293,348 | | | $ | 394,056 | | | | 17 | % |
Net Sales
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we realized $8,000,675 in revenue, representing an increase of 9% or $680,170 as compared to $7,320,505 for the same period of 2008. During the past year of operations, a total of 34 products each contributed to revenue, including health care supplements, cosmetics and toiletries and daily necessities, and no single product has accounted for more than 20% of our revenue, reflecting that the company was and is not heavily reliant on the sales of any single production line.
The following table set forth a sales breakdown by product for the period indicated.
| | | Q2 2010 | | | | Q2 2009 | | | Change in $ | | | Variance | |
Revenue from : | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Health care supplements | | $ | 4,800,674 | | | $ | 4,163,069 | | | $ | 637,605 | | | | 15 | % |
Cosmetics and toiletries | | | 2,433,025 | | | | 2,226,184 | | | | 206,841 | | | | 9 | % |
Daily necessities | | | 766,976 | | | | 931,252 | | | | (164,276) | | | | (18) | % |
Total | | $ | 8,000,675 | | | $ | 7,320,505 | | | $ | 680,170 | | | | 9 | % |
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 34 products governed by the Contract. Since Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was not an exclusive distributor for Shandong Yong Chun Tang, 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 September 30, 2009 was nearly identical to gross margin in each quarter of a year earlier, averaging 56%, despite the growth in sales from quarter to quarter.
Cost of Good Sold
Our costs of revenue are primarily comprised of the cost of finished goods purchased from Shandong Yong Chun Tang and our direct labor overhead and other expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our cost of good sold totaled $3,506,781, representing an increase of 322,835 or 10% as compared to $3,183,946 for the same period of 2008. However, the percentages of the costs of good sold to total revenues basically remained unchanged from quarter to quarter. Our cost ratio is relatively steady. It is primarily attributable to the steady relationship between us and our major supplier, Shandong Yong Chun Tang. As a result, we are always able to acquire products from a reliable source.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,493,894, an increase of 9% or $357,335 as compared to the same period for the prior year. Because of the steady cost ratio, the increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increased sales volume for the quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 56% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross margin largely remained the same as compared to the same period of 2008.
The following table sets forth a breakdown of our gross margin by different products:
| | Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, | | | Gross Margin for the quarter ended September 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Product | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Health care supplements | | $ | 2,595,854 | | | $ | 2,253,696 | | | | 54% | | | | 54% | |
Cosmetics and toiletries | | | 1,454,285 | | | | 1,332,976 | | | | 60% | | | | 60% | |
Daily necessities | | | 443,755 | | | | 549,887 | | | | 58% | | | | 59% | |
Overall | | $ | 4,493,894 | | | $ | 4,136,559 | | | | 56% | | | | 56% | |
Research and Development Expenses.
Our R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $109,387 or approximate 1% of total corresponding revenue and $10,995 or approximately 0.1% of total corresponding revenue, respectively. As compared to the same period of 2008, our R&D expenses increased by $98,393. The increase is the result of utilizing additional outside experts and increasing our internal staff in our R&D activity during the period.
Our long term goal is to utilize advanced biological technology to refine and extract the beneficial compounds in plants that have traditionally been known to have medicinal benefits, primarily gingko. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we increased our R&D staff from 8 to 19. Our R&D staff is currently engaged in research and development of new technologies and resulting products. In addition, we maintain close ties to the research staffs at Tsinghua University, China Agriculture University, Shandong Herbal Medicine University, and the Shandong Herbal Medicine Research Institute.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we successfully and efficiently managed our overall SG&A expense. Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of sales commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Our overall SG&A expenses for three months ended September 30, 2009 were $904,749 or 11% of our net sales for the period, representing a decrease of 15% or $157,954 as compared with the SG&A expenses for the same period of the year earlier.
Net Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we realized $2,687,404 in net income, representing a 17% or $394,056 increase as compared to $2,293,348 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The increase was a result of the increased sales and decreased SG&A expenses during the quarter.
Results of Operations – For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2009 compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 2008
The first half year of fiscal 2010 continued 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 2009, which ended on March 31, 2009, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical realized $25,817,447 in revenue. And for the six months ended September 30, 2009, the company realized revenue of $14,145,007 including $8,000,675 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Entering the 2010 fiscal year, we have successfully continued our growth trend. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, our sales increased slightly by $805,914 or 6% from $13,339,093 to $14,145,007 as compared to the same period of 2008. Our financial inflow from our business operation stays stable. And during the past 2 years operations, no single product has accounted for more than 20% of our revenue, and a total of 34 products each contributed to revenue, including both health care supplements, cosmetics and toiletries. Our sales breakdown by product line for the period indicated are as follows.
| | | For six months ended September 30 | | | | | | | |
| | | 2009 | | | | 2008 | | | Change in $ | | | Variance | |
Revenue from : | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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 gross margin realized by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical during the 6 months ended September 30, 2009 was nearly identical to gross margin in each quarter of a year earlier, averaging 56%, despite the growth in sales from period to period. Below is the gross margin breakdown by product line for the period indicated.
| | Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, | | | Gross Margin for the quarter ended September 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Product | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Health care supplements | | $ | 4,797,970 | | | $ | 4,385,770 | | | | 55% | | | | 54% | |
Cosmetics and toiletries | | | 2,223,975 | | | | 2,125,061 | | | | 60% | | | | 60% | |
Daily necessities | | | 937,476 | | | | 1,018,352 | | | | 59% | | | | 59% | |
Overall | | $ | 7,959,421 | | | $ | 7,529,183 | | | | 56% | | | | 56% | |
Our operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were equal to 18% of our revenue as compared to 14% in the prior year. This was an increase of $688,306 or 37% over the six month period ended September 30, 2008. These increases were primarily a result of a) overhead incurred in maintaining the facilities for the manufacture of ginkgo based capsole, the Company did not have such expense previously b) increased salary expense, and c) travel expense, and d) increased R&D expenses.
· | Increased advertising expenses, which we incurred in order to enhance our promotion force. The Company incurred advertising costs of $790,150 and $332, 500 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, representing the increase of $457,650 from the prior year period. |
· | Increased salary, which we instituted in order to inspire our marketing staff. In addition during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company hired 11 more industrial experts to strengthen its R&D staff team. |
· | Increased travel expenses, again resulting from nationwide cost increases. |
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 $5.49 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. |
Our operations produced net pre-tax income of $5,354,488 for the six months ended September 30, 2009, a $263,398 or 5% down as compared to $5,617,886 for the same time period in 2008. During the six months ended September 30, 2009 we realized a 6% increase in revenue. Pre-tax income was lower, primarily due to the additional investment in the R&D and SG&A expense areas of the Company during the six-months-period ended September 30, 2009.
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 “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. During the six months ended September 30, 2009, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $70,697 to our other comprehensive income. In the three months ended September 30, 2009, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $13,344.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity were generated from our operations. As of September 30, 2009, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical had $13,031,497 in working capital, an increase of $2,982,300 or 30% as compared to the working capital as of March 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $13,870,509, an increase by $3,822,129 or 38% from $10,048,380 as of March 31, 2009. This increase in our cash occurred primarily because a loan we had made to one of our affiliated companies, in the amount of about $1.1 million payable over the six months period ended September 30, 2009, was repaid.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents balances, as well as cash forecast by management to be generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital requirements for our current operations. Our operations have produced positive cash flow, with $3,863,127 provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2009. We did not have accounts receivable outstanding as of September 30, 2009. We expect our marketing activities to continue to operate cash-positively. However, once we commence our own manufacturing operations, the working capital requirements of manufacturing may put pressure on our cash flow, and we may be required to seek additional capital and reduce certain spending as needed. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms.
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 will 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.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | Six months ended Sept 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,863,127 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009, which was a decrease of 42% or $2,742,614 from the $6,605,714 net cash provided by operating activities for the same period a year earlier. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase of our inventory level, and payment made to pay off the balance of account payable.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2009, our net cash used in investing activities was $54,004, as compared to $1,391,891 of net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2008. This change was primarily because of the compound effect that including the repayment of a loan from one of our affiliated companies, and the purchase of plant and equipment.
The Company's property and equipment assets increased by 26% or $1,144,139 from $4,349,493 to $5,493,632 over the six-months-period ended September 30, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the value of fixed assets of properties and equipments increased as a result of the completion of the construction for some workshops and buildings of the Company, including one manufacturing workshop, one extract workshop, and one multifunctional workshop. This is also the reason for the increase in depreciation and amortization in 6 months ended September 30. As of right now, the only new completed properties and equipments that was used in production is the extract workshop. Starting from the quarter end September 30, 2009, the Company initiated to produce and market its ginkgo capsule made with natural extracted ginkgo and other traditional chinese medicine.
Prior to the completion of the Company’s own plant, Shandong YCT provides products to the Company for resale and makes settlement upon sales of goods. The purpose of the loan was to finance Shandong YCT’s production. The loan bore no interest and was unsecured. The entire balance of the loan was repaid in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2010.
Financing Activities
No net cash was generated or used by financing activities over the six-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Stockholder’s Equity
On April 6, 2009, the Company strengthened its Board of Directors by engaging 3 independent directors to serve on its Board. As described in their engagement letters, the Company is subject to compensate its independent directors with both cash and stock.
On April 6, 2009, the Company issued 45,000 shares of restricted common stock as partial compensation to three directors for certain consulting services provided to the Company, recorded at the fair value of $1 per share on the date of grant.

There was no Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

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. 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.
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.
