Energroup
Holdings Corporation
Report
of Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm
We have reviewed the accompanying interim
consolidated Balance Sheets of
Energroup Holdings
Corporation
(the Company) as of September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These interim consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We
conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any
material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

(Stated in US Dollars)
1.
The Company and
Principal Business Activities
Energroup
Holdings Corporation (the Company) (OTCBB: ENHD) is a holding company
incorporated in the state of Nevada in the United States of America whose
primary business operations are conducted through its three operating
subsidiaries: (1) Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., (Food
Company) (2) Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd. (Meat
Company), and (3) Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd. (Sales Company),
which are incorporated in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The Company is
headquartered in the City of Dalian, Liaoning
Province of China.
The
three operating subsidiaries were spun-off constituents of the former parent
company, Dalian Chuming Group Co. Ltd (Group). The Company indirectly holds the three
operating subsidiary companies through its wholly owned intermediary
subsidiaries: (A) Precious Sheen Investments Limited (PSI), a British
Virgin Islands (BVI) corporation, and (B) Dalian Chuming Precious Sheen
Investments Consulting Co., Ltd., (Chuming), a wholly foreign owned
enterprise incorporated in the PRC.
The Companys primary business activities are the production and
packing of fresh pork and also production of processed meat products for
distribution and sale to clients throughout the PRC and Russia.
Corporate
Reorganization
PRC law currently has limits
on foreign ownership of certain companies.
To enable Chuming to raise equity capital from investors outside of
China, it established an offshore holding company by incorporating Precious
Sheen Investments Limited in the British Virgin Islands in May 2007. On September 26, 2007, Chuming entered
into share transfer agreements with Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., under
which Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. agreed to transfer ownership of three
operating subsidiaries (collectively known as Chuming Operating Subsidiaries)
to Chuming. On October 23, 2007,
Chuming completed all required registrations to complete the share transfer,
and became the 100% owner of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries. On November 14, 2007 the Dalian Commerce
Bureau approved the transfer of Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltds 68% interest in
Chuming to PSI, and upon this transfer, Chuming became a wholly foreign owned
enterprise, with PSI as the 100% owner of Chuming (including its subsidiaries).
On December 13, 2007, the PRC government authorities issued Chuming a
business license formally recognizing it as a wholly foreign owned enterprise,
of which PSI is the sole shareholder.
The following is a
description of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries: -
A. Dalian Chuming Slaughter
and Packaging Pork Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is acquiring,
slaughtering, and packaging of pork and cattle;
B. Dalian Chuming Processed
Foods Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is the processing of raw
and cooked meat products; and
C. Dalian Chuming Sales
Company Ltd., which is responsible for Chumings sales, marketing, and
distribution operations.

2010 and December 31, 2009
And for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Stated in US Dollars)
Share
Exchange Transaction
On December 31, 2007,
the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of PSI in exchange for the
issuance of 16,850,000 restricted shares of our common stock to the
shareholders of PSI, which represented approximately 97.55% of the then-issued
and outstanding common stock of the Company (excluding the shares issued in the
Financing). As a result of that transaction, PSI became our wholly owned subsidiary
and we acquired the business and operations of the three operation
subsidiaries.
The
share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of PSI
where the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree
and PSI (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. As a result of this transaction, the Company
is deemed to be a continuation of the business of PSI.
Accordingly,
the financial data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
for all periods prior to December 31, 2007 is that of the accounting
acquirer (PSI). The historical stockholders equity of the accounting acquirer
prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share
exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period
presented.

The consolidation of these operating
subsidiaries into a newly formed holding company i.e. the Company is
permitted by United States GAAP: ARB51 paragraph 22 and 23 (FASB ASC 810
Consolidation
).
(C)
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best
information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual
results could differ materially from these estimates.
(D)
Cash
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid equity or debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
(E)
Accounts
Receivable
The Company extends unsecured, non-interest bearing credit to its
customers; accordingly, the Company carries an allowance for doubtful accounts,
which is an estimate, made by management.
Management makes its estimate based on prior experience rates and
assessment of specific outstanding customer balances. Management may extend credit to new customers
who have met the criteria of the Companys credit policy.
(F)
Inventory
Carrying Value
Inventory, consisting
of raw materials in the form of livestock, work in progress, and finished
products, is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished products are comprised of direct
materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
Periodic evaluation is made
by management to identify if inventory needs to be written down because of
damage, or spoilage. Cost is computed
using the weighted average method.
(G)
Purchase Deposit
Purchase deposit
represents the cash paid in advance for purchasing raw materials. The purchase deposit is interest free and
unsecured.
(H)
Property,
Plant, and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are
charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing the function
and/or useful life are capitalized. When
items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from such
transactions are recognized.
Property and equipment are
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life
with a 5% salvage value. Their useful
lives are as follows: -

Land
Use Rights
Land Use Rights are stated
at cost less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is provided over its useful life, using the straight-line
method. The useful life of the land use
right is 50 years.
(J)
Construction
in Progress
Construction
in progress represents the direct costs of design, acquisition, and
construction of buildings, building improvements, and land improvements. These costs are capitalized in the
Construction-in-Progress account until substantially all activities necessary
to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. At such point, the
Construction-in-Progress account is closed and the capitalized costs are
transferred to their appropriate asset classification. No depreciation is
provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
(K)
Accounting for
Impairment
of Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such
as property and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that
indicate the carrying value of the asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is
based on the Companys ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from
the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of
the related operations. If these cash
flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is
recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying
value. The measurement of impairment
requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of
long-lived assets.
(L)
Customer Deposit
Customer deposit represents money the Company has received in advance
for purchases of pork and pork products.
The Company considers customer deposits as a liability until products
have been shipped and revenue is earned.
(M)
Statutory Reserve
Statutory
reserve
refer to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or
regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as
approved, and, are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise
operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, from its earnings,
an amount to the statutory reserve to be used for future company
development. Such an appropriation is
made until the reserve reaches a maximum equalling 50% of the enterprises
capital.

(N)
Other Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all
items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial
statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial
statements. The Companys current
component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation
adjustment.
(O)
Recognition
of Revenue
Revenue from the sale of pork products, etc., is recognized on the
transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the
time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title has passed.
Beginning in March 2008, the Company encouraged its independent sales
agents to share the cost in marketing Chuming pork products. The Company encouraged such behavior by
offering to its agents: (1) favorable credit terms, such as 45 to 60 days
unsecured credit and (2) more significant discount. The Company recognizes the sales revenue
directly based on the dollar amount sold to independent sales agents. In accordance to 605-50-45-2, discounts
offered to independent sales agent are accounted for as reductions in revenue.
Independent sales agents are customers of the Company. They do not have the right to return products
for refunds. Accordingly, the Company does not provide sales allowances for
products sold to customers.
(P)
Cost of Sales
The Companys cost of sales
is comprised of raw materials,
factory
worker salaries and related benefits, machinery supplies, maintenance supplies,
depreciation, utilities,
inbound freight, purchasing and receiving
costs, inspection and warehousing costs
(Q)
Selling Expense
Selling
expenses are comprised of outbound freight, salary for the sales force, client
entertainment, commissions, depreciation, advertising, and travel and lodging
expenses. Selling expense, in absolute
dollars, and as a percentage of revenue, has decreased because of the
coordinated effort with independent sales agents to gain higher return on
marketing efforts. Refer to Note 2
(O)
for further details.
(R)
General & Administrative
General
and administrative costs include executive compensation, quality control, and
general overhead such as the finance department, administrative staff, and
depreciation and amortization expense.

differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for
financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to
offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either
expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future
realization is uncertain.

Foreign Currency Translation

currency. The functional currency of the
Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the
functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are
translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at
the dates of the transaction. Exchange
gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the
determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the
Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated
into United States dollars. Assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and

Earnings
Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (EPS) in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
per share (FASB ASC 260), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB
98). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to
present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss
available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents
the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g.,
contingent shares,
convertible
securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the
beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential
common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase
income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation
of diluted EPS.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2009, FASB issued ASC 860,
Transfers and Servicing
,
and ASC 810,
Consolidation, a revision to FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities (FASB ASC 810 Consolidation)
. The Company has adopted the new accounting
policies and has determined that there is no material impact to the financial
statements presented herein.
On
June 30, 2009, FASB issued ASC 105,
Accounting Standards
Codification (FASB ASC 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles
. On the effective date of this standard, ASC
became the source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for
nongovernmental entities, in addition to guidance issued by the SEC. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009.
If an accounting change results from the application of this guidance,
an entity should disclose the nature and reason for the change in accounting
principle in their financial statements.
This new standard categorizes the US GAAP hierarchy to two levels: one
that is authoritative (in ASC) and one that is non-authoritative (not in ASC).
Exceptions include all rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
the authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative
US GAAP for SEC registrants, and certain grandfathered guidance having an
effective date before March 15, 1992.
Statement No. 168 is the final standard that will be issued by FASB
in that form. There will no longer be,
for example, accounting standards in the form of statements, staff positions,

Task
Force (EITF) abstracts, or AICPA Accounting Statements of Position. The
Company has adopted and implemented the new accounting policy.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - A
Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This update provides
application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the
deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated
to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price
hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price
used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence,
if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not
available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party
evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified
after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The
management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on
the Companys financial statements.
The
FASB issued ASU-2010-09 (Topic 855) to amend guidance on subsequent events to
remove the requirement for SEC filers (as defined in ASU 2010-09) to disclose
the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This change
alleviates potential conflicts with current SEC guidance. An SEC filer is still
required to evaluate subsequent events through the date financial statements
are issued, but disclosure of that date is no longer required. The amendments
in ASU 2010-09 became effective upon issuance of the guidance. Management
adopted this pronouncement as of July 1, 2010.

The Company believes it has provided adequate provisions for doubtful
accounts. In the past, the Company has not experienced any accounts that have
become uncollectible. As a result of the Companys position in its industry and
the type of products that it sells, which are considered consumer staples, it
can exert significant influence and bargaining power on it customers, which
includes, among others, the collection of outstanding accounts. If in the event that the Companys customers
do not pay, they will be faced with the consequence that the Company will cease
to supply its products to them, and that the Company can take legal action to
recover losses.

The loans provided by the Bank of China are secured by the Meat Companys
land use rights, which have been appraised at a fair market value of $5,605,611
(RMB 41,000,000). Also, the Agricultural
Bank and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank loans have been guaranteed by the
Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. Both the CEO Mr. Shi Huashan and
Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. have guaranteed the loan from Bank of East
Asia.
(B)
Bank
Loan through Group
The Company obtained a loan of $20,466,901 (RMB 160,000,000) from
Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., which in turn, obtained these funds in a
joint loan commitment from both China Development Bank and Shenzhen Development
Bank (Banks) via a collateralized loan.
Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. (Group) collateralized the loan by
purchasing a bond from China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation (Bond
Issuer). The bond guarantees to the
Banks the entire principal and accrued interest of the loan. The cost of the bond is RMB 1,000,000
annually, or in USD: $120,668, 121,902, and 125,284 for the years 2004, 2005,
and 2006, respectively, which was paid by the Company. The loan carries a fixed interest of 5.76%
per annum. The Company pledged both land
use rights and buildings to the Bond Issuer.
The Company pursued a loan from Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd as the
financing solution of choice because the Companys tangible assets, at the time
of origination, were insufficient to collateralize the loan. Additionally, the
Company lacked the favorable credit history to directly establish credit
facility with the bank.

(Stated in US Dollars)
At December 31, 2007, the Company repaid its debt, in its entirety
to Dalian Chuming Group Co. Ltd by setting off receivables owed by the Group to
the Company. The Company repaid the loan
in order to meet the requirements of the equity financing transaction detailed
in Note 19. The balances are now owed by
Dalian Chuming Group Co. Ltd to the Banks, and liability for paying the bonding
insurance annually lies with the Group.
The pledged collateral of land use rights and buildings made to the Bond
Issuer still underlie the loan currently owed by the Group, and as such, the
Companys assets, namely the buildings and land use rights are at risk if the
Group were to default on this loan.

vendors. These notes can either be
endorsed by the vendor to other third parties as payment, or prior to coming
due, they can discount these notes to other financial institutions. These notes
are short term in nature so the Company does not calculate an imputed interest
on them. These notes are collateralized by the Companys deposits as described

As of September 30,

And for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Stated in US Dollars)
Although the Companies PRC subsidiaries are subject to statutory income
tax rates detailed above, the individual effective tax rates for each
subsidiary vary significantly.
Dalian Chuming Slaughtering & Pork
Packaging Co. Ltd.
has been given special tax-free status by the PRC
government because of the Companys standing as leader in its industry in
Dalian. Accordingly, the Company has not
made a provision for income taxes in the PRC for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Co. Ltd
has provided
for income taxes for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and
2009 in the amounts of $1,198,617 and
$1,441,418
, respectively.
Dalian Chuming Sales Co. Ltd.
has not
provided for income taxes in years 2010 and 2009 because it has incurred
operating losses for those respective years.
The Company has chosen to derecognize its deferred tax assets arising
from net operating losses in prior periods by expensing the asset to the income
tax expense account. The amounts expense
related to de-recognition of deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31
2009 and 2008 were $176,191 and $11,246 respectively. Management made the
decisions of de-recognition based on new information such as changes in market
conditions and the further streamlining of the Companys business. Management does not believe that previously
accrued deferred tax assets will be used to reduce taxes payables at any point
in the foreseeable future. Management deemed the use of a valuation allowance
inappropriate based on the circumstances in accordance to guidance provided
under ASC 740-10-40.
Although the Company is subject to United States income taxes, it is a
holding company with no operations or profits within the US borders. The
Company currently only incurs expenses in the United States that are associated
with being a public company.
After accounting for special tax-free status and net operating loss of
aforementioned subsidiaries, the consolidated taxable earnings were determined,
and the consolidated tax expenses were as follows: -

Commitments
It is company policy to develop plant facilities based on availability
of cash resources without incurring capital commitments. Therefore, the Company
did not have any capital commitments existing at September 30, 2010 except
for the commitment to have the construction in progress finished.
On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a hog purchase
agreement whereby the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd will provide at fair market
price a minimum number of hogs to the Company.
At September 30, 2010, the Company expects minimum quantities of
hogs detailed in the following table:
Year

The Company believes that the fair market price of the hogs will increase
by 10% each year. The assumption of 10% reflects that Company expectations in
regards to inflation, and the rising costs of inputs in breeding livestock.

Concentration
of Risk
(A)
Demand
risk
The Company had concentrations of risk in demand for its products
because its sales were made to a small number of customers.
(B)
Supply
Risk
The Company is subject to concentration of supply shortage risk because
it purchases its materials for resale from a few select vendors. The Companys
availability of supply is correlated with the few select vendors ability to
meet the market demand. In 2007, the
entire industry in the PRC faced a shortage in the supply of hogs.

Financing
Transaction
On December 31, 2007, the Company, a Nevada
corporation (Energroup or the Company), acquired Precious Sheen Investments
Ltd. (PSI) in a reverse take-over transaction, by executing a Share Exchange
Agreement (Exchange Agreement) by and among Energroup, PSI, and all of the
shareholders of PSIs issued and outstanding share capital (the PSI
Shareholders). PSI owned 100% of the equity in Chuming WFOE. Chuming WFOE is a
holding company for the following three operating subsidiaries: (i) Meat
Company, (ii) Food Company, and (iii) Sales Company, each of which is
a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of,
China (also referred to elsewhere as the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries).
As a result of the reverse take-over transaction, PSIs Shareholders
became Energroups controlling shareholders and PSI became Energroups
wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of PSI becoming Energroups wholly-owned
subsidiary, Energroup acquired the business and operations of Chuming and the
Chuming Operating Subsidiaries.
Under the Exchange Agreement, Energroup completed the acquisition of
all of the issued and outstanding shares of PSI through the issuance of
16,850,000 restricted shares of common stock of Energroup to PSIs Shareholders.
Immediately prior to the Exchange Agreement transaction, the Company had
422,756 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after the
issuance of the shares to PSIs Shareholders, the Company had 17,272,756 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding. The 422,756 shares of PSI were
cancelled and 17,272,756 shares of Energroup were issued to reflect this
reverse take-over transaction.
Concurrently with the Exchange Agreement, Energroup also entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which
Energroup agreed to issue and sell 3,863,636 shares of its common stock to ten
accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $17,000,000 or $4.40
per share (the Financing). The closing of the Financing coincided with the
Closing of the reverse take-over transaction.
In connection with the sales of securities to accredited investors
under the securities purchase agreement, Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC (the Placement
Agent), was compensated with a commission of $1,190,000 which is equal to
7.00% of the aggregate purchase price and a warrant to purchase the 386,364
shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $4.40 per
share. At September 30, 2010, the
Company had adequate authorized capital to issue common shares upon the
exercise of the warrant.
At September 30, 2010, the total number of shares outstanding, on
a fully diluted basis, is shown in the following table:

As of September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009
And for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Stated in US Dollars)
In
connection with a make good agreement related to the financing transaction on December 31,
2007, the Companys Chairman and CEO, Mr. Shi Huashan placed in escrow
3,863,636 shares
, which were
beneficially
owned by him. These shares were to be released back to him if the Company met
the following earnings targets of $15.9 million, and $20.9 million in after-tax
net income for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2009
respectively. The Company met the
aforementioned targets.
In accordance
with SFAS 128,
Earnings per Share
(FASB ASC 260)
,
for the sake of calculating
the Companys earnings per share,
the Company has accounted
for the
3,863,636 escrowed shares as contingently
issuable shares as such they were not included in the weighted average basic
shares outstanding for nine months end
September
30, 2009, but are included in the weighted average diluted shares
outstanding for the same period. The
escrowed shares have been released to the Chairman and CEO; therefore, for the
nine months ended
September
30,
2010, the 3,863,636 have been included in both basic and diluted weighted
average shares outstanding. Please refer
to Note 17.
In
accordance with Topic 5.T of the Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB 79), the
Company had recorded compensatory expense for shares to be released from escrow
by charging the Companys earnings and recording a corresponding increase to

mission of: (1) avoiding the risk of a supply shortage of pork, and (2) maintaining
an orderly market for pork. The Chinese
National Pork Reserve will be comprised of facilities located in eleven
different cities nationwide. Dalian was
selected as one of the eleven cities to host a facility.
On
June 15, 2009, the Companys operating subsidiary, Meat Company, after
passing a qualification process, was selected to be a supplier to the Chinese
National Pork Reserve; accordingly, the Company signed a long-term supplier agreement
with the Chinese National Pork Reserve.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to supply 30,000,000 kg
of fresh pork to the Chinese National Pork Reserve, annually. The agreement
provides guidelines whereby the facility must use up and replenish 10,000,000
kg of fresh meat (approximately 150,000 hogs) every four months. The Companys
2010 first three quarters sales was $165,496,536 of which $2,681,582 (RMB
18,278,738), representing 1.62% of total sales, consisted of fresh pork sold to

OVERVIEW
Headquartered in the City of
Dalian, Liaoning Province of the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC or China),
we are a meat processing company primarily involved in the slaughtering,
processing, packaging and distribution of pork and pork products. We also
process and sell seafood, such as minced fillet products, which accounted for a
small portion of our revenue (approximately 5.6%) in the third quarter of 2010.
We are the first pork producer in
China to receive Green Food certification from Chinas Ministry of
Agriculture. Green Food is an innovative certification program unique to China
that is awarded to food processors who produce using environmentally
sustainable methods and meet certain high technical standards of quality
control, safety, and product quality and generate low levels of pollution. The
Green Food certification is based on standards defined by the Codex
Alimentarius Commission (CAC), a joint body of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. We also received
ISO 9001:2000 certification that covers our production, research and
development and sales activities.
Currently we have a wholesale and
retail distribution network and sell either directly or indirectly across
northeast China, including supermarkets and hypermarkets.
As of September 30, 2010, we
had 793 employees, of whom 397 were operating personnel, 309 were sales
personnel, 41 were research and development personnel and 46 were
administrative personnel.
Dalian Precious Sheen Investments
Consulting Co., Ltd., or Chuming WFOE, is our holding company established
in China for our three PRC operating subsidiaries, collectively referred to
elsewhere in this report as the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries:
1.
Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd. ( Meat
Company), whose primary business activity is acquiring, slaughtering and
packaging of pork and cattle;
2.
Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd. ( Food Company),
whose primary business activity is the processing of raw and cooked meat
products; and
3.
Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd. (Sales Company), which
is responsible for our sales, marketing and distribution operations.
The Chuming Operating Subsidiaries
are spin-off constituents of a former parent company, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd.,
or the Group. Chuming WFOE was incorporated in China as a wholly foreign
owned enterprise in December 2007. Chuming WFOE is 100% owned by Precious
Sheen Investments Limited (PSI), a holding company established in the British
Virgin Islands in May 2007.
Pork is widely regarded as Chinas
most important source of meat and is consumed at a much higher rate than other
categories of meat. We believe that increasing levels of consumption of pork
products in China is linked to the rapid development of the Chinese economy,
urbanization and strong income growth.
Aside from increasing aggregate
consumption, based on managements research, pork consumption patterns in
recent years have shown two main characteristics. The first is that per capita
pork is consumed at higher rates in the urban areas of China as opposed to
rural areas, although the rate of growth in these urban consumption rates is
relatively slight. The second is that consumers consumption preferences appear
to have shifted from frozen meat to fresh meat, and from fat meat to lean meat,
with a tendency toward high quality cuts. Management believes
36
these trends continue to be very
favorable to our business which is based on mechanized meat processing and
sales to urban consumers.
Our total sales
volume was 28,221 metric tons in the third quarter of 2010 and 36,376
metric tons in the third quarter of 2009.
Retail pork prices are an important
component of Chinas Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation indicator. In
order to moderate increases in the CPI and maintain the living standard of its
lower-income population, the Chinese government has implemented a number of
policies to encourage pork production. Due to a shortage in supply,
live hog prices rose significantly in 2008. However, during the
first half of 2009, the average pork price declined as compared to the average
price during the same periods in 2008. The decline in pork prices
was due to a decline in demand which was the result of wide public perception
that the swine flu epidemic in late April and early May affected the
health and quality of pork produced during such time. In June 2009,
in response to the decline in pork prices and demand, the Chinese government
purchased and placed into storage large quantities of pork products. This
was done to help reduce public fear that the pork supplies were contaminated
due to the swine flu epidemic in an effort to cause the pork price
to rebound to a reasonable level. This action by the PRC government
helped to regain consumer confidence to increase the purchase of pork products,
and as the demand began to rise, the prices of pork began to rise again in July 2009,
and by the end of the year ultimately rose to a level higher than the prices
seen during the first half of 2009. In the third quarter of 2010,
pork prices trended higher due to consumer goods inflation in China, we
expect this upward trend to continue through the end of the year.
In China, the pork processing
industry remains fragmented, and we believe, inefficient. As smaller players
experience pressure from margin compression and stricter government
regulations, we believe scaled pork processors, like ourselves, will be
positioned to make acquisitions on favorable terms in order to capture market
share, gain scale, secure raw material, and access more customers. We expect
that the combined factors of stricter hygiene regulations, increasing
competition from well-financed players, and struggling meat suppliers, will
induce industry consolidation in the coming years. We believe we are in a
strong position to continue to take advantage of the Chinese governments
support for leading pork producers, these market consolidation trends, and the
emerging hog supply situation. Management believes that this is a long-term
trend.
Given the current competitive
market conditions, we constantly strive to impose strict quality control in our
products and utilize state-of-art slaughtering and cutting lines (which are
imported from Stork Co. of the Netherlands), to ensure our product quality,
increase awareness of our brand and develop customer loyalty. Our research
suggests that consumers in China are increasingly conscious of food safety and
nutrition, and they using their purchasing power to demand safer and higher
quality food products for their families.
We place a very high priority on
food safety and integrity. For the feeds which are used for our hogs, we
control and monitor our feed sources by acquiring feeds only from qualified
suppliers who are licensed in the nation or the province, and then carry out
comprehensive tests to ensure quality. All of our production lines have also
passed the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) test, which is
certified by Moody International Certification Ltd. Management anticipates that
companies such as ours, with quality meat processing and modern logistics
systems, will benefit as they capture market share and build consumer brand
loyalty.
Management believes that we need to
broaden our geographic sales network and diversify our customer base. Currently
our distribution network is principally located in Liaoning Province,
especially Dalian city. We have however expanded our sales network for fresh
and processed food products to major large and medium cities in the three most
northeast provinces of China. In the near future we need to further extend this
network and penetrate all large and medium cities in the northeast provinces of
China with all our products. A broader customer base will not only mitigate our
reliance on certain big customers, but also bring us more opportunities. We
believe a broader market for our products can increase demand for our products,
reduce our vulnerability to market changes, and provide additional areas of
growth in the future.
Our top five customers accounted
for 34.7% for our total sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. We
plan to position our business to diversify our customer base, which is expected
to lower this percentage gradually in the future.
37
Management presently anticipates
continued growth in volume of sales. Nevertheless, our ability to meet
increased customer demand and maintain profitability will however continue to
depend on factors such as our production capacity, availability of working
capital, input costs, as well as the other factors described throughout this
report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
ESTIMATES
Our managements discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our
consolidated financial statements.
While our significant accounting
policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our combined financial
statements included in this report, we believe that the following accounting
policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating
this management discussion and analysis:
Method of Accounting
We maintain our general ledger and
journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes.
The financial statements and notes are representations of management.
Accounting policies adopted by us conform to generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied
in the presentation of financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual
basis of accounting.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial
statements, which include the Company and its subsidiaries, are compiled in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets,
liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company has owned the three
operating subsidiaries since December 31, 2007 as a result of a reverse
merger consummated via share exchange. Control of our operating
subsidiaries (through the Company, its subsidiaries, predecessors or other
entities) was consistently held prior to and after the reverse merger. We also
own two intermediary holding companies. As of September 30, 2010, the
detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:

38
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States 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 financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes
these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates
are made; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable
We extend unsecured, non-interest
bearing credit to our customers; accordingly, we carry an allowance for
doubtful accounts, which is an estimate, made by management. Management makes
its estimate based on prior experience rates and assessment of specific
outstanding customer balances. Management may extend credit to new
customers who have met the criteria of our revised credit policy.
Inventory Carrying Value
Inventory, consisting of raw
materials in the form of livestock, work in progress, and finished products, is
stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished products are comprised of
direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.
Periodic evaluation is made by management to identify if inventory needs to be
written down because of damage or spoilage. Cost is computed using the weighted
average method.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment are
stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are charged to expense
as incurred; major improvements enhancing the function and/or useful life are
capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from
such transactions are recognized.
Property and equipment are
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life
with a 5% salvage value. Their useful lives are as follows:

Land Use Rights
Land Use Rights are stated at cost
less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over its useful life,
using the straight-line method. The useful life of the land use right is 50
years.
Customer Deposits
Customer Deposits represents money
we have received in advance for purchases of pork and pork products. We
consider customer deposits as a liability until products have been shipped and
revenue is earned. We collect a damage deposit (as a deterrent) recorded on
other payable from showcase store operators as a means of enforcing the proper
use of our trademark. We carry the amount of these deposits as a current
liability because we will return the deposit to the operator when we cease to
conduct business with the operator.
39
Statutory Reserve
Statutory reserve refers to the
amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations,
which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and, are
to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an
enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, from
its earnings, an amount to the statutory reserve to be used for future company
development. Such an appropriation is made until the reserve reaches a maximum
equaling 50% of the enterprises registered capital.
Earnings Per Share
We compute earnings per share (EPS)
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
per share (FASB ASC 260), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB
98). FASB ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to
present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss
available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents
the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g.,
contingent shares, convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they
had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date,
if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e.,
those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded
from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2(Z) to the
consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report
of Form 10-Q for discussions on recently issued accounting announcements.
We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of
the above recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
Related Party Receivable and
Payable
In the normal course of business
which includes the purchase of hogs and other raw materials, and the sale of
pork and pork products, the Company conducts transactions with certain related
parties that are not consolidated into the Company. The Company and these
related parties share common beneficial ownership. All transactions with
related parties are generally performed at arms length. In the event that we
have both receivables from, and payables to these related parties, we will set
off the balances in order to arrive at a single balance that is either due
from, or due to these related parties.

We believe that the decreases in
sales revenue and sales volume in fresh pork, frozen pork and processed pork
products arises from short supply of live pigs.
In the third quarter of 2010, we
increased our average per-kilogram sales price for fresh pork products and
decreased our average per-kilogram sales price for frozen pork and processed
food products. These changes were in-line with changes in the market price for
those products. In the third quarter of 2010, our sales volume by weight of
fresh pork decreased as compared to the third quarter of 2009 by
18.59%. Our revenue for fresh pork, however, decreased by 8.34%, given
lower sales volume by weight but higher average per-kilogram sales price for
this product category. For frozen pork and processed food products, our sales
volume by weight decreased by 34.80% and 37.09%, respectively, and because of
lower average per-kilogram prices to customers, our sales revenue for those two
product category decreased by 44.94% and 38.37%, respectively.
The following table shows the
change in the average price per kilogram for our product to consumers in the
quarter ending September 30, 2010, as compared to the same quarter last
year:

Cost of Sales
. Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2010 decreased by
$9,311,727 or approximately 16.27%, from $57,246,206 for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 to $47,934,479 for the three months ended September 30,
2010. The decrease was principally attributable to the decrease
in both the sales revenue and sales volume for our three product
categories in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in
the prior year. Our cost of sales for our various product categories in the
third quarter of each of 2010 and 2009 is summarized and shown as a percentage

Gross Profit.
Gross profit was $7,767,481 for the three months ended September 30,
2010 as compared to $10,574,874 for the three months ended September 30,
2009, representing a decrease of $2,807,393, or approximately 26.55%. Management
attributes the decrease in gross profit to decreased sales volume of the three
product categories. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 13.94% in the
third quarter of 2010, as compared to 15.59% in the third quarter of 2009.
The following table presents our
gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The
table below also shows the percentage of gross profit for each of our product
groups, as a percentage of sales for that product group.

In the third quarter of 2010, the
gross profit of fresh pork decreased by 15.44% as compared to the same period
last year, principally due to the increase in average per-kilogram price
we paid for live pigs. Processed food products continued to yield a gross
profit margin that was the highest among all the product groups. The
gross profit of the frozen pork products segment decreased by 32.63%, as
compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in both
sales volume and average price to customers in that product.
Selling Expenses
. Selling expenses totaled $491,412 for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $706,664
for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $215,252 or
30.46%. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in sales revenue which
resulted in proportionate decreases in outbound fright and salary for the sales
force.
General and
Administrative Expenses
.
General and administrative expenses totaled $538,382 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 as compared to $614,806 for the three months ended for
the same period in 2009, a decrease of $76,424 or 12.43%. This change is
primarily attributable to decrease in sales revenue.
Other income
(Expense).
Our other
income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest
expense. In the third quarter of 2010, we had other income of
$197,646 which included a government subsidy, as compared to $7,204 for
the third quarter of 2009. Our total other expense in the third quarter
of 2010 decreased by $4,372,055, or 90.82% as compared to the same period in
2009. This decrease in total other expenses is primarily
attributable to an increase in interest expense on bank indebtedness and
the compensation expense in the amount of $4,619,816 arising from the release
of 3,863,636 of our shares from an escrow arrangement entered into as part of a
private equity financing consummated by us in December 2007, which is not
present in 2010. See Note 19 of the consolidated financial
statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Net Income
. Net income for the three months ended September 30,
2010 was $5,977,478 as compared to $3,753,010 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $2,224,468 or 59.27%. This increase in net income is
attributable to decreases in other expense which resulted from the compensation
expense in the comparable quarter for 2009 described above and in income tax,
and an increase in other income.

In the nine months of 2010, we
decreased our average per-kilogram sales price for fresh pork, frozen pork and
processed food products to our customers. These changes were in line with
changes in the market price for these products. In the nine months of 2010, our
sales volume of fresh pork increased, with the fresh pork category continuing
to experience growth both in sales volume by weight
44
and in terms of sales revenue. Our
sales revenue for frozen pork decreased due to reductions in the average
per-kilogram price to customers and a correct consumer trend away from frozen
pork products to fresh pork products. For processed food products, our sales
volume decreased by 7.89%, and because of lower per-kilogram prices, our sales
revenue for this product category decreased by 10.11%. Management believes that
changes in sales revenue in our product categories reflects consumer demand for
our products in the periods presented.
The following table shows the
change in the average price per-kilogram for our product to consumers in the
nine months of 2010, as compared to the same period last year:

Although we also sell our products
through sales agents, our principal sales channels consist of Chuming-branded
showcase stores, supermarkets and restaurants and canteens, each of which are
owned by third parties. The following table summarizes the changes in the
number of participants within these sales channels:

As shown in the table above, as of September 30,
2010, as compared to September 30, 2009, we significantly increased the
number of participants in all three of these sales channels. We believe the
sales from supermarkets are likely to continue to yield higher
profit margins. Their orders tend to be large and stable in quantity, and they
usually have better credit. The increase in the number of these participants
has contributed to increased sales volume for the nine months ended September 30,
2010.
Cost of Sales
. Cost of sales for the nine months of 2010 increased by
$7,353,263 or approximately 5.50%, from $133,615,742 for the nine months of
2009 to $140,969,005 for the nine months of 2010. The increase was principally
attributable to the increase in the sales volume of fresh pork for the nine
months of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Our cost of sales for
our various product categories in the nine months of each of 2010 and 2009 is

In the nine months of 2010, the
gross profit of fresh pork increased by 20.09%, as compared to the same period
last year. The gross profit for frozen pork and processed food products decreased
by 27.61% and 13.06%, respectively, due to lower per-kilogram sales prices to
customers.
Selling Expenses
. Selling expenses totaled $1,125,722 for the nine months
of 2010 as compared to $2,079,027 for the nine months of 2009, a decrease of
$953,305 or 45.85%. This decease is mainly due to an decrease in outbound
fright.
General and
Administrative Expenses
.
General and administrative expenses totaled $1,934,387 for the nine months of
2010 as compared to $1,885,651 for the nine months of 2009, an increase of
$48,736 or 2.58%. This change is primarily attributable to increased fees
charged by local government.
Other income
(Expense).
Our other
income (expense) consists of interest income, other expenses, and interest
expense. In the nine months of 2010, we had other income of $227,939
which included a government subsidy, as compared to $35,552 for the nine
months of 2009. Our total other expense
in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $11,929,682 or
approximately 90.99% as compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease in total other expense is
primarily attributable to the 2009 compensation expense in the amount of
$12,838,043 arising from the release of our 3,863,636 shares from an escrow
arrangement entered into as part of a private equity financing consummated by
us in December 2007, which is not present in 2010. See Note 19
of the consolidated financial statements.
Net Income
. Net income for the nine months of 2010 was $19,087,527
as compared to $4,719,876 for the same
period in 2009, an increase of $14,367,651 or 304.41%. This large
increase in net income is primarily attributable to the increase in sales
revenue, the 2009 compensatory expense as discussed above, as well as the
increase of the other income.
46
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
Nine months Ended September 30,
2010
As of September 30, 2010, we
had cash and cash equivalents of $23,993,544, other current assets of $116,179,309
and current liabilities of $68,696,517. At September 30, 2009, we had
$14,670,937 in cash and cash equivalents. We presently finance our
operations primarily with cash flows from our operations, and we anticipate
that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance our
short-term cash needs. If we require additional capital to expand or enhance
our existing facilities, we will consider debt or equity offerings or
institutional borrowings as potential means of financing.
Net cash used in operating activities
was $26,898,810 for the nine months of 2010 as compared to net cash sourced
from operating activities of $881,330 for the nine months of 2009. This is
primarily attributable to increases in account receivable and inventory.
Net cash used in investing
activities was $20,783,652 for the nine months of 2010 as compared to
$3,932,762 for the nine months of 2009. This is primarily attributable to the
increased funds in restricted cash account. See Note 3 of the consolidated
financial statements.
Net cash sourced from financing
activities was $27,467,874 for the nine months of 2010 as compared to
$10,253,095 for the nine months of 2009. This increase resulted
principally from an increase in our borrowings from banks during the nine
months of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. These
additional borrowings are short-term loans, and were used for operational
purposes.
Capital Commitments
We have been following a policy of
relaxing our credit policy for an increasing number of our major customers, permitting
them up to a 75-days grace period for payment for goods, where previously no
such grace period was provided. Management expects that in the short term, this
revised credit policy will result in an increase in accounts receivable, and a
corresponding reduction in our cash position. Management does not anticipate
that this change in our credit policy will result in any deficiency of working
capital. Over the nine months of 2010, however, net accounts receivable
increased from $39,876,187 as of December 31, 2009 to $40,858,902. This
increase was primarily due to the increase in sales revenue.
Uses of Liquidity
Our cash requirements through the
end of fiscal 2010 will be primarily to fund daily operations for the growth of
our business. Management will consider acquiring additional manufacturing
capacity for processed foods in the future to strengthen and stabilize our
manufacturing base.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity
for our short-term cash needs are expected to be from cash flows generated from
operations and cash and cash equivalents currently on hand. We believe that we
will be able to borrow additional funds if needed.
We believe our cash flow from
operations together with our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will
be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and
other commitments through the end of 2010.
For our long-term cash needs, we may consider a number of alternative
financing opportunities, which may include debt and equity financing. No
assurance can be made that such financing will be available to us, and adequate
funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are
raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing
shareholders may result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future,
we will develop or enhance our product or services and expand our business
through our own
47
cash flows from operations.
As of September 30, 2010, we
had outstanding $43,410,072 in aggregate borrowings from Bank of China,
Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Huaxia Bank, Bank of East Asia and China
Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd. under short-term loans, on which we pay
interest at average rates of 5.67% per annum. As of September 30,
2010, we did not have any standby letters of credit or standby repurchase
obligations. We intend to satisfy our short-term debt obligations that mature
over the next 12 months through either additional short-term bank loans, in
most cases by rolling the maturing loans into new short-term loans with the
same lenders, or equity financings in the public capital market.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk
Our operations are, for the most
part, located in the PRC, and we earn our revenue in Chinese Renminbi (RMB).
However, we report our financial results in U.S. dollars using the closing rate
method. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rates between Chinese RMB and
the U.S. dollar will affect our reported financial results. The balance sheet
items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the
respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated
at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while
income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the
period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign
currency translation adjustment for the nine months of 2010 was $2,224,030, as
compared to $1,773,476 for the nine months of 2009, both of which were gains.
During 2003 and 2004 the exchange
rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July 21,
2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB
to the dollar. In 2008, the RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S.
dollar. As of September 30, 2010, the market foreign exchanges rate was
increased to 6.6981 RMB to one U.S. dollar. As a result, the ongoing
appreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar may negatively impact our gross margins in
the future.
Contractual Obligations and
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual
obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in
our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other
factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot
provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have
presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our
determination of amounts presented in the tables in order to assist in the
review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The following tables summarize our
contractual obligations as of September 30, 2010, and the effect these
obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future
periods.

As indicated in the table, as of September 30,
2010, we had $79,147,744 in purchase obligations, which relates to our
agreement for the purchase and sale of hogs. On December 19, 2007, we
entered into a hog purchase agreement whereby the Group will provide, at fair
market prices, a minimum number of hogs to us.
At September 30, 2010,
management projected minimum quantities of hogs as detailed in the following
table:

|
For purposes of estimating future
payments, we project that the fair market price of the hogs will increase by
10% each year. The assumption of 10% reflects our expectations with regard to
inflation and the rising costs of inputs in breeding livestock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other
financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations
of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that
are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders equity or that are
not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not
have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an
unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support
to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated
entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us
or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not use derivative financial
instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts.
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, accounts payable and long-term obligations. We consider investments
in highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or
less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. However, in order to
manage the foreign exchange risks, we may engage in hedging activities to
manage our financial exposure related to currency exchange fluctuation. In
these hedging activities, we might use fixed-price, forward, futures, financial
swaps and option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on
exchanges, as well as long-term structured transactions when feasible.
Interest Rates. Our exposure to
market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term
investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates
would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At September 30,
2010, we had approximately $23,993,544 in cash and cash equivalents. A
hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a
material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows
of these instruments.
Foreign Exchange Rates. All of our
sales and inputs are transacted in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative
values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and
profitability as the results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting
purposes. However, since we conduct our sales and purchase inputs in RMB,
fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to significantly affect our
financial stability or gross and net profit margins. We do not currently expect
to incur significant foreign exchange gains or losses, or gains or losses
associated with any foreign operations.
Our exposure to foreign exchange
risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing
differences between the signing of sales contracts and the settling of these
contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our
operating business. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at
average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are
translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the Peoples Bank of China
at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of
stockholders equity. We recorded net foreign currency gains of $2,224,030 and
49
$1,773,476 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We have not used any forward
contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign
currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate
fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency
losses in the future. As our sales denominated in foreign currencies, such as
RMB, continue to grow, we may consider using arrangements to hedge our exposure
to foreign currency exchange risk.
Our financial statements are
expressed in U.S. dollars, but the functional currency of our operating
subsidiaries is RMB. The value of an investment in our stock will be affected
by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. A decline in the
value of RMB against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent
amounts of our financial results, the value of an investment in our company and
the dividends we may pay in the future, if any, all of which may have a
material adverse effect on the price of our stock.
ITEM 4T.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including its chief executive officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
As of September 30, 2010, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our chief executive officer and our Interim Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our chief executive
officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, solely as a result of the significant
weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, our
chief executive officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during
the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
As of September 30, 2010, the
Company had yet to become compliant with SOX 404 and maintain effective
internal controls; however, the progress of the Companys remedial measures is
detailed below. The Company expects to be compliant by the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2010.
A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements presented will not be prevented or detected. A significant
deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies,
that adversely affects a companys ability to initiate, authorize, record,
process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such
that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual
or interim financial statements presented that is more than inconsequential
will not be prevented or detected.
At September 30, 2010,
management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting, and has proposed the following plan of
implementation with respect to each material weakness:
50
·
Weakness:
The
Companys board of directors has yet to pass a formal resolution to put in
place a strategic plan and framework in order to comply with the regulations
placed on issuers concerning internal controls.
Implementation
Plan:
The board of directors
intends to pass a resolution to adopt the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Framework which provides for a structure to
establish a control environment, risk assessment, control activities,
information and communication, and monitoring of effective internal controls.
The board also intends that the Chief Executive Officer shall be made to take
ultimate ownership of establishing an effective internal control system.
As of September 30, 2010, the
Company had not yet passed a formal resolution, however, Board has instructed Ms. Ma
Feng Qin, a Board Member, to take charge of the implementation of a system of
an internal control system that will ultimately meet the goal of compliance
with SOX 404 Act. In March 2010, the Company appointed two new
independent directors who have experience in US public companies and whose
expertise in US financial reporting standards is expected to be contributed to
the Company. In addition, the Company has established an audit committee comprising
of independent directors, which is expected to play an important role in
enhancing the Companys processes and procedures relating to internal control
and corporate reporting including financial reporting.. The Company
is in the process of identifying and hiring more professionals with experience
in SOX 404 to enable the Company to effectively address this issue.
·
Weakness:
The Company accounting department is currently understaffed and lacks personnel
with expertise in US GAAP and SEC reporting standards.
Implementation
Plan:
The Company is currently in
the hiring process for a senior financial accounting officer and staff
accountants to fulfill the demands and rigors of being a US public reporting
company. The Company will also provide training to existing employees on the
requirements of US GAAP and SEC Reporting standards.
As of September 30, 2010, the
Company has hired an Interim Chief Financial Officer, however, as of the date
hereof the Company continues to seek actively candidates for a senior financial
reporting officer knowledgeable in US GAAP and SEC Reporting
standards. Upon hiring of a senior financial reporting officer, that
individual could further hire and train personnel as needed.
·
Weakness:
The
Company does not have an internal audit function and department.
Implementation
Plan:
The Company will establish
an internal audit department.
As of September 30, 2010, the
Company has created an internal audit department. The effectiveness
of this new department is currently under evaluation, and has yet to be
determined.
·
Weakness:
The
Companys present methods and systems for tracking related party transactions
are inadequate. Since the corporate reorganization and separation of Chuming
from the Group occurred recently (at the end of 2007), and the Companys
accounting system in the past was manually based, only manual records of
related party transactions are currently available. Further, the Company notes
that its current accounting staff is not sufficient in size to undertake an
exercise to completely re-summarize all of the events and transactions that led
to the current related party transaction balances disclosed in its financial
statements. Specifically, paragraph 2(c) of the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 57 (SFAS 57) requires us to disclose in our
financial statements the dollar amounts of each of the periods presented, for
our related-party transactions. Due to certain limitations in our historical
records, the present capacity of our accounting staff, and the fact that our
historical records relating to these related party transactions are
manually-based, these related party transactions have been presented according
to their general category and current balance, with each such balance
representing one or more prior transactions culminating in such balance.
Implementation
Plan:
The Company will write and
rewrite formal contracts with these Related Parties as necessary to detail the
nature of these transactions. The Companys accounting staff will formalize the
process of recording these related party transactions, so that
51
the nature of these transactions
are more easily understandable and may be adequately disclosed in the Companys
financial statements. The Company and management acknowledge our responsibility
to comply with the requirements of SFAS 57, and fully intend to take all
necessary steps to update our accounting systems and procedures in order to
achieve such compliance on an ongoing basis. In addition, we expect that the
foregoing material weakness is related to our lack of adequate accounting staff
(see paragraph below), and that appropriate changes to our staff are expected
to eliminate the foregoing material weakness.
As of September 30, 2010, the
Company has implemented from an operational standpoint, a plan for the
elimination of related party transactions unrelated to the Companys core
business transactions. Therefore, all related party transactions, except for
the purchase of hogs which is conducted under an arms-length Hog Procurement
Agreement, will be phased out and eliminated. The Company continues to develop
desktop and closing procedures in order to report historical and remaining
related party balances on a more timely and accurate basis. Contracts with
related parties, which include netting agreements, have been formalized for
past transactions; however, on going forward basis the Company is in the
process of creating standardized contracts that will govern related party
transactions that occur frequently and regularly, such as purchases of hogs.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

interest adverse to us.
