In addition, on the Effective Date described below, the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock automatically converted into shares of Discovery Technologies Nevada Common Stock at a ratio of nine (9) shares of our currently outstanding Common Stock for one (1) share of Discovery Technologies Nevada Common Stock.
As a result of the reverse stock split of registrant's common stock, registrant's outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 18,746,196 shares to 2,083,339 shares. The Migratory Merger and reverse split became effective on October 16, 2007, (the "Effective Date").

Further on December 18, the Company had another reverse stock split at a ratio of 6.771:1. As a result, registrant's outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 2,083,339 shares to 308,084 shares.

As of December 31, 2007 the Company paid $4.09 million to the prior shareholders of Techteam.
The exchange of shares with the Company has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting because the stockholders of Green Agriculture obtained control of the Company. Accordingly, the exchange of shares by the two companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, with the Company (Green Agriculture) being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are those of Green Agriculture. As a result of the reverse merger transaction described above the historical financial statements presented are those of Green Agriculture, the operating entity. Pro-forma information is not presented because the public shell’s assets are immaterial. Transaction costs incurred in the reverse acquisition have been charged to expense.
On August 3, 2007, Green Agriculture Holding Corporation acquired 100% outstanding shares of Techteam Jinong.

Green Holding, through its Chinese subsidiaries Techteam Jinong and Xi’an Jintai is engaged in the research and development, manufacture, distribution and sale of green organic fertilizer. Green Agriculture and Jinong are under common control because they are under common management.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries—Green Agriculture, Techteam Jinong and Xi’an Jintai. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.
Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash overdraft as of balance sheet date will be reflecting as liabilities in the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9,725,194 and no cash overdraft.
Accounts receivable
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,134,238, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 246,630.
Advances to suppliers
The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. As of December 31, 2007, the advances to suppliers amounted to $176,843.
Advances for construction in progress
The Company makes advances to certain vendors for construction in progress. As of December 31, 2007, the advances to suppliers amounted to $5,225,969.
Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than the cost.

CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 15 years for machinery; 3 to 5 years for leasehold improvement, 5 to 10 years for office equipment; and 3 to 5 years for motor vehicles.
Impairment
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
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 collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
10
CHINA GREEN AGRICULTURE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, were $205,555 and $ 106,317, respectively. Advertising costs for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $228,680 and $248,744, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is RMB. The Company uses the United States dollar ("U.S. dollars") for financial reporting purposes. The Company's subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions are reflected on the income statement. Gain or loss on financial statement translation from foreign currency are recorded as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheet, as component of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi. In particular, Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's official currency, is the functional currency of the Company. Until July 21, 2005, RMB had been pegged to US$ at the rate of RMB8.28: US$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to US$ was adjusted to RMB8.11: US$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People's Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as US$ traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, which will become the unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of US$ against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of 0.3% around the unified exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions required submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
Segment reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
During the six month ended December 31, 2006, the company was organized in one segment. During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company was organized into two main business segments: produce fertilizer (Jinong) and agricultural products (Jintai). The following table presents a summary of operating information and certain year-end balance sheet information for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
1. A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
2. The date that adoption is required
3. The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. The objective of this statement will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under Statement 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition -date fair value will limited exceptions. Statement 141 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. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, the competition in fertilizer industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins, the weather condition in the areas where our customers are based, the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel, the prospects for future acquisitions and certain other factors.
China Green Agriculture, Inc. (formerly known as Discovery Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas in February 1987, but had no operations from December 1996 to December 2007. In October 2007, the Company was reincorporated in the state of Nevada, and, on December 26, 2007, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Green Agriculture Holding Corporation (“Green New Jersey”) which owns 100% of the capital stock of Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Techteam”) through a share exchange in which the Company issued an aggregate of 10,770,668 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share to the three shareholders of Green New Jersey in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Green New Jersey’s capital stock (the “Share Exchange”).
The Share Exchange was recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, with Green New Jersey being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are those of Green New Jersey and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Techteam and Jintai.
Green New Jersey was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey on January 27, 2007. It had no operations prior to its acquisition of Techteam on August 24, 2007. After the acquisition of Techteam by Green New Jersey, Techteam was deemed as predecessor entity to the operations of Green New Jersey. Therefore, our management’s discussion and analysis herein is based on the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim historical financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included elsewhere in this filing.

We, through Techteam, research, develop, manufacture and distribute humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizer in 27 provinces in China. Humic acid is an essential natural, organic ingredient for a balanced, fertile soil, and it is one of the major constituents of organic matter. China is both the world’s largest manufacturer and consumer of fertilizers.
In 2005, compound fertilizers accounted for 27% of the total fertilizers consumed in China; however the quality is generally very low leading to ecosystem degradation. (Source: Ministry of Agriculture of the PRC). Organic compound fertilizer comprises a balance of both organic and inorganic substances, thereby combining the speedy effectiveness of chemical fertilizers with the environmental benefits of the organic ones.
Our multi-tiered product strategy allows us to tailor our products to different needs and preferences of the Chinese fertilizer market, which varies greatly across the country. For example, in Southern and Eastern China, farmers are able to grow high margin crops such as fruit and seasonal vegetables where climate and rainfall permits, hence they can gain more return on investment from more expensive, specialized fertilizers whereas in Northwest areas, farmers’ low profit margin crops prevent farmers from investing too much on fertilizer thereby necessitating a more broad spectrum, low cost fertilizer.
Roughly 20 million farmers are using our products. We produce and sell 10,000 metric tons of our fertilizer products per year, with average per mu usage of 120 ml per year, per time (the liquid fertilizer is in very concentrated form, and is mixed with water).
We have developed more than 100 different fertilizer products. The leading five provinces by revenue are Heilongjiang, Guangdong, Xinjiang, Shandong, and Henan.
Normally, our peak selling season for our fertilizer products is in spring and summer, from March through October. We experience seasonal variations in our revenues and our operating costs. Periods of cold weather may delay the application of the fertilizer, or render it unnecessary thereby reducing demand for our products. Historically we have experienced sales variations of up to 30% when compared to the sales of our peak season to that of our non-peak season. We plan to develop our customer base in southern China such as Hainan province, which has a warm winter to mitigate the seasonal variations in our future revenues. Our agricultural products are grown in green house and therefore do not experience seasonal variations.
We conduct our research and development activities through our wholly owned subsidiary, Xi’an Jintai Agriculture Technology Development Company (“Jintai”) through which we also sell high quality flowers and green vegetables and fruits which are grown in our research greenhouses to airlines, hotels and restaurants. The Company owns its 137,000 square meter research and development facility. The functions of the green research and development facility are two-fold: (i) it provides testing and experimental data collection base for the function and feature of the new fertilizer products by imitating the various growing conditions and stages or cycle for a variety of plants, such as flowers, vegetables and seedlings which the fertilizers apply on and (ii) such plants themselves can be sold to the customers and generate sales. Our research and development capabilities allow us to develop products that are tailored to farmers’ specific needs in different regions, different crops, humidity, weather and soil conditions that require special fertilizers.

Net Sales
Our net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $3,756,142, an increase of $1,675,099, or 80.5%, from $2,081,043, which we had in the corresponding period in 2006. This increase was attributable to the following factors (i) an increase in sales volume due to expansion of our sales network and increase in distributors and sales personnel which contributed a $96,721 increase in our revenue as compared to that of the same period in 2006; (ii) the launch of five new products (including Guokangmei Green Nutriment Fertilizer and Jinong Zhuangshi) which contributed $565,800 in revenues as compared to that of the same period of 2006; and (iii) the addition of our newly acquired greenhouse facility which contributed $1,012,578 of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The new facility is operated by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Jintai, formed in January 2007 and which has been generating revenues since March 2007. It produces flowers, vegetables and fruits.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the cost of our raw materials and packaging materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses. Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,621,220, an increase of $718,130, or 79.5%, as compared to $903,090 for the corresponding period in 2006. Among the $718,130 increase, $430,513 represented Jintai’s costs. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 43.2% and 43.4% for the three-month periods ended on December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the increase in our sales volume, while the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 remains at the similar level as compared to that of the same period in 2006.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our net sales and our cost of goods sold. Our gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $2,134,923, an increase of $956,969, or 81.2%, compared with $1,177,954 for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase in our gross profit was due to the increase in our sales revenue and our increase in the sales in products with higher gross profits. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 56.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2007, as compared to 56.6% during the same period in 2006. The gross profit for our revenues from Jintai for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $582,065 and the gross profit margin was 57.5%, which contributed to the increase in our overall gross profit margin.
Selling Expenses
Our selling expenses consist primarily of salary of sales personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges and related compensation. Selling expenses were $320,133 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 (among which, the selling expenses of Jintai were $5,422) as compared to $162,999 for the same period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $157,134 or approximately 96.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased advertising and promotion expenses which resulted in a higher sales volume for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Operating and Administrative Expenses
Our operating and administrative expenses consist primarily of rental expenses, related salaries, business development, depreciation, travel expenses and legal and professional expenses. Operating and administrative expenses were $1,023,345 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 (of which, $82,630 was Jintai’s operating and administrative expenses), as compared to $60,228 for the same period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $963,117. The increase was mainly due to the expenses incurred in connection with the Share Exchange and the Private Placement consummated on December 26, 2007.
26
Operating Income
Our operating income was $791,445 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 (of which, $239,027 was contributed by Jintai), as compared to $954,727 for the same period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $163,282, or approximately 17.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the higher selling expenses and operating and administrative expenses.
Income Taxes
Techteam, our indirectly wholly owned operating subsidiary, incurred income tax of $66,126 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 while no income tax incurred for the same period ended December 31, 2007 as a result of Techteam’s conversion from a domestic PRC enterprise to a wholly foreign owned enterprise status in August 2007 which qualified it for a tax holiday by December 31, 2007 pursuant to the PRC laws and regulations governing foreign invested enterprises. In 2006, Techteam was subject to the income tax at the rate of 15% as a high tech domestic PRC corporation. Techteam is to be subject to the income tax at the rate of 18% for calendar year 2008.
Jintai, as a Techteam subsidiary, was qualified for a tax holiday in calendar 2007 and therefore, its income tax was 0. Jintai is to be subject to the income tax at the rate of 18% for calendar 2008.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $730,025, a decrease of $85,480, or 10.5% from $815,505 for the comparable period in 2006. Jintai did not contribute to the decrease to the net income. The decrease was mainly due to the increase in operating and administrative (mainly, the expenses incurred in connection with the Share Exchange and the Private Placement consummated on December 26, 2007), and for the reason described above, we do not expect net income to continue to decrease over the next several quarters.
Foreign Currency Translation Gains
We had a foreign currency translation gain of $379,536 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 (of which, $130,807 was from Jintai), as compared to $24,690 in loss for the same period in 2006, a result of the appreciation of RMB, the functional currency of Techteam and Jintai, against the U.S. dollars.
27
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,109,561, an increase of $318,746 or 40.3%, from $790,815, compared with the same period in 2006. The increase is attributable to the foreign currency translation gain in $379,536 as we described above.

Income Taxes
Techteam, our indirectly wholly owned operating subsidiary, incurred income tax of $266,006 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 while there is none for the same period ended December 31, 2007 as a result of Techteam’s conversion from a domestic PRC enterprise to a wholly foreign owned enterprise status in August 2007 which qualified it for a tax holiday as at December 31, 2007 pursuant to the PRC laws and regulations governing foreign invested enterprises. In 2006, Techteam was subject to income tax at the rate of 15% as a high tech domestic PRC corporation. Techteam is to be subject to the income tax at the rate of 18% for calendar year 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9,725,194 and restricted cash of $4,250,000. Our current assets were $19,656,029 and our current liabilities were $9,548,767, including $4,290,845 short term loans, which resulted in a current ratio of approximately 2.06X. Our total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2007 was $28,417,998.
We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures principally through bank loans, and cash provided by operations. On December 26, 2007, we raised a total of approximately $20,519,255 from a Private Placement. Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, an aggregate of $4,250,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placement was held in an escrow account as of December 31, 2007. As of the date of this report, we have satisfied our covenants regarding the hiring of independent directors and an investor relations firm and received approximately $2,027,000 of the escrowed amount. We are in the process of hiring a new permanent CFO with the qualifications specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement and anticipate we can hire a new CFO by April 25, 2008.
We are using the net proceeds of the Private Placement to finance the purchase of capital equipment and for the expansion of our facilities and production. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations and from the Private Placement will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated future cash needs for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. There can be no assurance that such additional investment will be available to us, or if available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.
Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9,725,194.
33
Accounts receivable
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,134,238, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 246,630.
Advances for construction in progress
The Company makes advances to certain vendors for construction in progress. As of December 31, 2007, the advances to suppliers amounted to $5,225,969.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than the cost.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 15 years for machinery; 3 to 5 years for leasehold improvement, 5 to 10 years for office equipment; and 3 to 5 years for motor vehicles.
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 collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
34
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Segment reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
During the six month ended December 31, 2006, the company was organized in one segment. During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company was organized into two main business segments: produce fertilizer (Techteam) and agricultural products (Jintai).
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended December 31, 2007 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal controls. During the period covered by this report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
