Please see Note 17 for further details of each acquisition.
Accounting Treatment of the Merger; Financial Statement Presentation
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 2007 under the name “Top Flight Game Birds, Inc.” Prior to the merger as described below, the Company was a non-operating shell company. On August 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Global Pharm BVI Enterprise Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company formed on June 14, 2010 (“Global Pharm BVI”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 of its restricted shares to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Pharm BVI. Immediately subsequent to the merger, the former stockholders and key management of Global Pharm BVI were given certain call rights to acquire an aggregate of 80.36% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, contingent on the attainment of various milestones. In addition, all of the officers and directors of Global Pharm BVI were appointed as officers and directors of the Company immediately following the merger. On September 20, 2010, the Company changed its name to Global Pharm Holdings Group, Inc. Subsequent to the merger, all of the milestones were attained and, upon the exercise of the call rights, the former stockholders and key management of Global Pharm BVI owned an aggregate of 80.36% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
The merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell company with nominal net assets is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company treated this transaction as a reverse merger (the “Reverse Merger”). These transactions are considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. Accordingly, the Share Exchange Agreement has been accounted for as a recapitalization and, for accounting purposes, Global Pharma BVI is considered the acquirer in the Reverse Merger. The historical consolidated financial statements are those of Global Pharma BVI.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2011 fiscal year or any other future interim periods.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by management and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires that management 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 periods. Estimates and assumptions principally relate to services performed by third parties but not yet invoiced, estimates of the fair value and forfeiture rates of stock options issued to employees and consultants, and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Purchase Accounting and Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The valuation and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including appraisals and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Amortization of goodwill is not permitted. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value then an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess.
Intangible Assets
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using either accelerated or straight-line amortization methods over the estimated economic lives of the assets. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of internal use software, customer relationships, trademark, non-compete agreements, GMP certificate, and drugstore chain franchise and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to twenty years.
Purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed periodically for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If required, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. The Company’s three segments have the same revenue recognition policy. Revenues are recorded net of value-added taxes.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In reviewing that determination, an entity must consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment may exist. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. This guidance is therefore effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Pharm Holdings Group, Inc. and its direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company defines fair value as the amount at which an asset or liability could be bought or incurred or sold or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value estimates presented in the table below are based on information available to the Company as of September 30, 2011.
The accounting standard regarding fair value measurements discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The Company has determined the fair value of certain liabilities using the market approach: the following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for these liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:

Estimating the fair value of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. The assumptions used to value the Company’s derivatives, which had a direct effect on the fair values described above, are more fully described in Notes 14 and 17. In addition, valuation techniques are sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s Common Stock and its estimated volatility interest rate changes and other variables or market conditions not within the Company’s control that can significantly affect its estimates of fair value and changes in fair value. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s net income may include significant charges or credits as these estimates and assumptions change.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank acceptance and short-term loans approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments.
The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term borrowing approximates their fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated from RMB into United States dollars (“US $”). Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates, all income and expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the periods and equity accounts, except for retained earnings, are translated at the rate at the transaction date. Retained earnings reflect the cumulative net income (loss) translated at the average rates for the respective periods since inception less dividends translated at the rate on the transaction date.
RMB is not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC") or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange in the PRC. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined largely by supply and demand. Translation of amounts from RMB into US $ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

|
|
Statement of income
|
|
1 US $: 6.49722 RMB
|
|
1 US $: 6.81640 RMB
|
|
The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
The Company’s basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that any dilutive options, warrants or other instruments were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, the Company’s outstanding convertible bonds are assumed to be exercised, and funds thus obtained are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Diluted shares underlying convertible debt obligations are included in the determination of diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method .
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation:

The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before a foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of directors, to the statutory reserve. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund.
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company's PRC subsidiaries registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to shareholders. Transfers to the statutory surplus reserve fund were nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has fulfilled the reserve requirements, except for the newly formed and acquired companies in 2011, for which required statutory reserves amount to $4,688,016. The required statutory reserves will be funded, in accordance with applicable PRC requirements for minimum funding requirements, from future earning of the applicable subsidiary.
The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 50% of the registered capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries.

Convertible Bonds Payable
|
On September 19, 2011, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Mr. Yunlu Yin and Blazer Delight Limited, an investment company (the “Bondholder”), pursuant to which the Company will issue redeemable convertible bonds (the “Bonds”) in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000. In connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 and $5,000,000 and also entered into several other agreements on September 21, 2011 and October 20, 2011, respectively, including the Bond Instruments, the Investor Rights Deed, and the Assignment Agreement.
The proceeds from the issuance of these Bonds are for the expansion of the Company’s distribution network, the acquisitions of pharmaceutical companies in China and general working capital purposes. The Convertible Bonds do not bear any interest and they mature on the second anniversary from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”).
The holder of the Bonds may elect at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date to convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. At such option of the holder or in the event of a mandatory conversion upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), the Bonds are convertible into common stock of the Company at a price of $5.00 per share, which conversion price is subject to weighted average and stock-based anti-dilution protection.
The Company is required to redeem the Bonds in whole in favor of the holder at a redemption amount which is equal to the sum of (i) the whole principal amount of all of the Bonds and (ii) a premium representing a 25% IRR (as defined in the Investor Rights Deed) per annum from the date of issue of the Bonds up to the time of receipt by all of the holders of the Bonds of such premium payment, calculated based on the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds originally issued, in the event that a QIPO (as defined in the Bond Instrument) has not been completed by the date falling nine months from the date of the Bond Instrument. Any amount of the Bonds which remain outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be redeemed thereon at its then outstanding principal amount. Furthermore, upon occurrence of certain events of default such as the Company’s dissolution, bankruptcy, default in repayment of the Bonds, default in performance of any obligation or the Company’s major shareholder ceases to serve as Chairman or CEO of the Company, the Bonds are immediately due and repayable at the principal amount plus interest at the rate of 3% per annum, compounded semi-annually.
The Company’s functional currency is different from the denomination of the Bonds and the Company’s contingent put option provides the Bondholders a substantial premium of return when a QIPO is not completed within nine months. The Company accounted for the conversion feature and contingent put option (together, “Embedded Derivatives”) as a freestanding instrument included in derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Bondholder’s Call Option
Concurrent with the issuance of the Bonds on September 21, 2011, the Company’s major shareholder, Mr. Yunlu Yin, granted the Bondholder the option to acquire 333,333 shares from his personal shareholding in the Company at an aggregate nominal consideration of $1 if the Company’s audited consolidated net income for the year ending December 31, 2011 is less than 90% of the target net income of $26,900,000. Alternatively, the Company’s major shareholder may elect to pay an amount equal to the Bondholder’s call option share price based on the pre-determined formula. The Bondholder’s call option can only be exercised in whole and not in part. The option is exercisable within 90 days following the publication of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Post-QIPO IRR Payment
As part of the arrangement, the Company’s major shareholder also guaranteed the Company’s share price performance post-QIPO. The major shareholder has committed that, in the event that the holders of the Bonds dispose of some or all of its conversion shares in one or more transactions following the completion of a QIPO, but on or prior to the 90th day immediately following the Free to Trade Date, and receives an aggregate consideration for such disposal that is less than the Target IRR Price (as defined in the Investor Rights Deed) in respect of that part of the principal amount of the Bonds that was converted into the conversion shares that are the subject of such disposal, to pay to such holder the difference by which the consideration it received falls short of the Target IRR Price. The Company’s major shareholder may also elect to pay the shortfall amount in the form of shares for nominal consideration of $1. The number of shares is determined by dividing the shortfall amount by the average of the closing prices for the ordinary shares for the five trading days immediately prior to the request by the holders of the Bonds.
The Company’s functional currency is different from the denomination of the Company’s ordinary shares and the denomination of the payment. In addition the embedded conversion option that is embedded in the Company’s Convertible Bonds Payable does not meet certain anti-dilution protections that are based on input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company accounted for the Bondholder’s Call Option, Post-QIPO IRR Payment and the anti-dilution protections (together, “Freestanding Derivatives”) as a freestanding instrument included in derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, to be measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes reflected in earnings, until the Bonds are settled.
The Bonds are recorded at a discount equal to the combined value of the bifurcated Embedded Derivatives and Freestanding Derivatives at the transaction date and are accreted to the redemption value of the Bonds over the life of the Bonds. The Embedded Derivatives and Freestanding Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The fair value of the Embedded Derivatives for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 has not changed since September 21, 2011.
The following table shows the allocation of the fair value of the debt feature, embedded derivatives and the Bonds as a whole:

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock, which has a high estimated volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
The following table sets forth the range of inputs for each significant assumption and the equivalent, or averages, of each significant assumption as of September 30, 2011:

The Company has adopted the Binomial model as the principle methodology to calculate the fair values of the derivative liabilities. The Binomial model requires the use of inputs that range across all levels in the fair value hierarchy. As a result, the technique is a Level 3 valuation technique in its entirety. The calculations of fair value utilized the Company’s estimated fair value on the calculation dates. The contractual conversion prices were adjusted to give effect to the value associated with the QIPO scenario. Expected volatility for each interval in the Binomial model analysis process was established based upon the Company’s historical volatility for historical periods consistent with the term of each interval in the calculation. Market adjusted interest rates give effect to expected trends or changes in market interest rates by reference to historical trends in LIBOR. Credit risk adjusted rates, or yields, were developed using bond curves, risk free rates, market and industry adjustment factors for companies with similar credit standings as the Company’s.
The Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was incurred with the acquisitions of Pacific Asia and Quantum, see Note 17. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability was based on a probability-weighted approach derived from management’s own estimates of net revenue targets with changes recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company incurred total placement fees of $300,000 in connection with its private placement of the Bonds (see Note 14) that occurred on September 21, 2011. The placement fees are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximate to the effective interest method, over the two-year expected life of the Bonds, starting on the date of closing, September 21, 2011. The debt issuance cost were paid subsequent to September, 30, 2011.

The Company uses the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on how management organizes segments within a 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. Based on this model, the Company has three reportable segments. The Company’s principal businesses are pharmaceutical products distribution, TCM processing and distribution, and herbal cultivation and sales. All sales were sold to customers in the PRC.
Based on the various operation activities, the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
|
Pharmaceutical products distribution – the sale of pharmaceutical and healthcare products to hospitals and pharmacy shops.
|
|
TCM processing and distribution – rough processing and sale of TCM products.
|
|
Herbal cultivation and sales – the planting, processing and selling of herbs in China.
|
In April 2011, the Company’s management decided to reclassify operations of Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, products from the TCM processing and distribution segment to the pharmaceutical products distribution segment in order to better manage the OEM products sales. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 segment reporting for the TCM processing and distribution segment and pharmaceutical products distribution segment have been reclassified accordingly.
In September 2011, the Company’s management decided to restructure the flower tea bag segment and relocate the flower tea bag operations to Bozhou Xinghe. The Company’s management also decided to combine the flower tea bag segment with the TCM processing and distribution segment since the new facility of Bozhou Xinghe is suitable for processing flower tea bags and both segments are similar in operations and management. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 segment reporting for the TCM processing and distribution segment has been reclassified accordingly.

Qingdao Likang Acquisitio
n
On September 26, 2011, Shandong Global entered into a merger and acquisition agreement, with Qingdao Likang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Qingdao Likang”) and the stockholders of Qingdao Likang to purchase the 100% equity interest of Qingdao Likang for cash consideration of $1.6 million. Qingdao Likang was incorporated in July 1998 under the laws of the PRC and is a city-level pharmaceutical related products distributor. On October 31, 2011, Shandong Global entered into a supplement merger and acquisition agreement with Qingdao Likang and paid $0.9 million to the stockholders of Qingdao Likang and completed the acquisition, with the remaining $0.7 million to be paid before July 31, 2012. After the completion of the acquisition, Qingdao Likang became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounting for the transactions under the acquisition method; as such the purchase prices are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimate of fair value by utilizing a third-party valuation report, with any excess of the purchase prices acquired over the fair value of the identifiable net assets recorded as goodwill. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company acquired gross accounts receivable amounting to $672,314, which also represented the fair value of the accounts receivable.
The following is the purchase price allocation for Qingdao Likang:

Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2011 and elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We were incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 2007, under the name “Top Flight Gamebirds, Inc.” Our principal executive offices are located at Room 2503-2505, New World Center, No. 6009 Yitian Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518026, People’s Republic of China, or the PRC. On September 20, 2010, we changed our name to Global Pharm Holdings Group, Inc. Prior to the merger as described below, we were a non-operating shell company.
On August 12, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (referred to as the Share Exchange Agreement) with Global Pharm BVI Enterprise Group Limited (referred to as Global Pharm BVI), a British Virgin Islands company formed on June 14, 2010. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued 1,800,000 of our restricted shares to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Pharm BVI. Immediately subsequent to the merger, the former stockholders and key management of Global Pharm BVI were given certain call rights to acquire an aggregate of 80.36% of our outstanding common stock at four different occurrence dates, contingent on the attainment of various milestones. In addition, all of the officers and directors of Global Pharm BVI were appointed as our officers and directors immediately following the merger. Subsequent to the merger, all of the milestones were attained and, upon the exercise of the call rights, the former stockholders and key management of Global Pharm BVI owned an aggregate of 80.36% of our outstanding common stock.
The merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell company with nominal net assets is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we treated this transaction as a Reverse Merger, and the Share Exchange Agreement has been accounted for as a recapitalization and, for accounting purposes, Global Pharma BVI is considered the acquirer in the Reverse Merger. The historical consolidated financial statements are those of Global Pharma BVI.
We are engaged in the wholesale and distribution of pharmaceutical-related products, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, processing and herbal cultivation and sales in China through our indirectly owned Chinese subsidiaries, including Tonghua Tongdetang Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Material Co., Ltd. (referred to as Tongdetang), Anhui Xuelingxian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (referred to as Xuelingxian), Shandong Global Pharm Co., Ltd. (referred to as Shandong Global), Zibo Global Pharm Co., Ltd. (referred to as Zibo Global), Tai’an Global Pharm Co., Ltd. (referred to as Tai’an Global), Bozhou Xinghe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (referred to as Bozhou Xinghe), Shandong Huawei Pharmaceutical Col, Ltd. (referred to as Shandong Huawei), Guangdong Sinopharm Pharmaceutical Franchises Co., Ltd. (referred to as GDGY), Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech Development Co., Ltd. (referred to as Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech) and Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech Development Co., Ltd. (referred to as Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech), Qingdao Likang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (referred to as Qingdao Likang, together with Tongdetang, Xuelingxian, Shandong Global, Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Bozhou Xinghe, Shandong Huawei, GDGY, Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech and Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech, referred to as the PRC Subsidiaries).
We measure our operating performance primarily through revenues and operating income from our three business segments as follows:
Pharmaceutical Product Distribution Segment
Our products include prescription drugs, over-the-counter, or OTC, drugs and nutritional supplements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold over 11,800 types of products and had more than 4,250 clients that spanned hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, drugstores, and other healthcare institutions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the sales from our pharmaceutical distribution segment accounted for 86.1% and 75.6% of our total sales, respectively. Our operating subsidiaries, Shandong Global, Tongdetang, Tai’an Global, Zibo Global, Shandong Huawei and GDGY are focused primarily on the pharmaceutical distribution business. They purchase pharmaceutical and healthcare products from manufacturers and wholesalers and sell the products to hospitals, other distributors, health clinics, chain and individual drug stores, among others.
In January 2011, we renewed the exclusive distribution agreements with each of Xiuzheng Pharmaceutical Group Marketing Co., Ltd., or Xiuzheng, Hainan Lingkang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Lingkang, Branch of Beijing for a one-year term.
TCM Processing and Distribution Segment
We process approximately 600 varieties of Chinese natural herbs that are either purchased from the raw materials market in Bozhou from local farmers, or cultivated by us on our plantations, for sale to pharmaceutical distributors, hospitals or various types of medical institutions. These treated herbs are Chinese herbal medicine in the form of “prepared slices” for immediate use as ingredients in the preparation of herbal medicinal concoctions. The kind of processing treatment applied to the herbs varies according to the type of herb. Our subsidiaries, Xuelingxian and Bozhou Xinghe, are focused on the TCM processing and distribution business.
On April 25, 2011, we suspended our flower tea bags production and sales operations. This was because the relevant land on which Xuelingxian is situated was to be expropriated by the local government which resulted in the lease for our factory buildings not being renewed, as well as our gradual de-emphasis on this business in our overall operations. After the acquisition of Bozhou Xinghe, we decided that in the event we resume our flower tea bag business, our operations in respect of this segment will be integrated into Bozhou Xinghe’s business. Our Company’s TCM processing and distribution segment will then include the production of flower tea bags.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the sales from our TCM processing and distribution segment accounted for 10.4% and 22.9% of our total sales, respectively.
Herbal Cultivation and Sales Segment
We also grow for sale several varieties of Chinese herbs such as Chrysanthemum, Salvia, Cortex, and similar items. On January 1, 2011, we leased two parcels of land from Mengwang Village Committee and Limenlou Village Committee in Bozhou, Anhui Province, to replace the two parcels of land we had previously leased in 2010 to continue conducting our herbal cultivation business. The aggregate area for both parcels of land was approximately 1,800 acres, with each lease for a term of five years. On April 29, 2011, we leased one parcel of land with an approximate site area of 353 acres, from Mashan Town, Shandong Province for a 30-year term for herbal planting purposes. On June 10, 2011, we leased another 330 acres of land in Qiaocheng District, Shibali Town, Anhui Province for a 10-year term for the expansion of our herbal cultivation business in that area. The aggregate area of the combined parcels of land is 2,480 acres. Most of our herbal products are harvested in September, October, and November. None of the parcels generated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our subsidiaries, Xuelingxian, Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech and Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech, are focused on the herbal cultivation and sales business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, sales from our herbal cultivation and sales segment accounted for 3.5% and 1.5% of our total sales, respectively.
According to the statistics report of World Network of Traditional Chinese Medicine released on September 16, 2011 (http://www.zyctd.com/info-item-345116-1-1.html), the retail price of 296 of the 537 most commonly used herbal products increased during the 12-month period from September 2010 to September 2011. The price of 25 herbal products increased from 1% to 5%. The prices of 93 herbal products increased from 5% to 20% and the prices of 104 herbal products increased from 21% to 50%. The prices of 51 herbal products increased from 50% to 100% and prices of 23 herbal products increased over 101%. In the same period, the prices of another 207 most commonly used herbal products decreased, in amounts ranging from 1% to 99% and the prices of the remaining 34 most commonly used herbal products remained the same.
Recent Developments
Joint Ventures
On April 6, 2011, we obtained the business license of Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech, a joint venture established by our subsidiary, Wisdom Fortune, together with Qianyi Pharmaceutical in Bozhou, Anhui Province. Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech is primarily focused on the herbal cultivation business. The registered capital of Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech is $10 million. Wisdom Fortune invested $9.7 million and Qianyi Pharmaceutical invested $0.3 million, which reflect a 97 percent and 3 percent ownership interest of Anhui Sino-Green TCM Tech, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, we paid $1.5 million of the registered capital and the remaining $8.2 million is due by April 6, 2013. We will fund the remaining registered capital from our working capital.
On April 21, 2011, we obtained the business license of Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech, a joint venture established by Shandong Global together with Jinan Linong in Jinan, Shandong Province. Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech is primarily focused on the herbal cultivation business. The registered capital of Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech is $1.6 million. Shandong Global invested $1.5 million and Jinan Linong invested $0.1 million, which reflect a 97 percent and 3 percent ownership interest in Shandong Sino-Green TCM Tech, respectively. On April 20, 2011, Shandong Global paid $1.5 million of the registered capital.
Establishing joint ventures with local companies in Bozhou and Jinan represents a new stage for our development of TCM cultivation base projects. The savings related to obtaining quality TCM herbal raw materials directly from the place of origin will significantly enhance our products portfolio, and create an important synergy between our herbal cultivation business and pharmaceutical distribution business.
Acquisitions
As part of our overall growth strategy, we have recently made several significant acquisitions, each of which has enhanced our operations.
The addition of GDGY provided us with an opportunity to extend our distribution coverage in Guangdong Province. Our existing network in Shandong Province, one of our primary markets, is further expanded through our newly acquired subsidiaries, Zibo Global, Tai’an Global and Shandong Huawei. These three companies distribute in aggregate approximately 17,000 pharmaceutical and TCM products to a combined customer base of more than 3,000 hospitals, clinics, drugstores, healthcare institutions and pharmaceutical distributors. We also gained a critical production capability through our acquisition of Bozhou Xinghe, which operates a herb processing plant with advanced equipment in close proximity to our plantation bases and the raw materials market in Bozhou from which we source the Chinese natural herbs we process. We believe this will substantially increase operational and cost efficiencies of our TCM processing and sales business.

The increase (decrease) in net revenue and net income was accounted for by an increase (decrease) in certain of our segments as indicated below:
Revenue
. Our net revenue increased by $38.4 million, or 125.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was attributable to our reportable segments as follows:
Pharmaceutical products distribution –The contribution from our pharmaceutical products distribution segment was $62.7 million, or 90.8% of our total net revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $24.8 million, or 81.0% of our total net revenues, for the comparable period in 2010. The net revenue increased $37.8 million, or approximately 152.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the additional revenue contributed by our newly-acquired subsidiaries in 2011, namely Tai’an Global, Zibo Global, Shandong Huawei and GDGY, amounting to $23.6 million, and the increased sales of $11.9 million and $2.3 million by Shandong Global and Tongdetang, respectively, due to a series of marketing activities to promote sales, a broader product portfolio offered to customers, and improved efficiency in fulfilling sales orders.
TCM processing and distribution – Revenue from this segment was $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $1.1 million, or approximately 24.6%. The increase is mainly due to the $2.5 million in additional revenue from Bozhou Xinghe, offset by an approximately $1.0 million decrease in Xuelingxian’s revenue. Our flower tea bags operations have been suspended since April 25, 2011, as such, we had nil revenue from this business, as compared to sales of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Subsequent to September 30, 2011, any future results of operations in respect of our flower tea bag business in the event we decide to resume operations, will be consolidated into our TCM processing and distribution segment.
Herbal cultivation and sales – Revenue from our herbal cultivation and sales segment was $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of approximately $0.6 million, or 41.7%. The decrease was mainly due to reduced sales by Xuelingxian for the three months ended September 30, 2011 because our herbal products were harvested in late September 2011 due to various factors and sold after September 30, 2011, as compared to our earlier harvest of herbal products for the comparable period in 2010, of which some sales were recorded in the same quarter.
Cost of Goods Sold.
Our cost of goods sold increased by $34.7 million, or 140.5%, to $59.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $24.7 million for the comparable period in 2010, which was consistent with the increase in our revenue. More specifically:
Pharmaceutical products distribution –The cost of goods sold for this segment was $54.6 million, or 91.9% of our total cost of goods sold, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $20.1 million, or 81.3% of our total costs of goods sold, for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $34.5 million, or approximately 171.8%. The increase was primarily due to the additional cost of goods sold attributed to our newly acquired subsidiaries in 2011, amounting to $22.7 million, as well as our greater sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the comparable period in 2010, consistent with the increase in our revenue of this segment. The increase in cost of goods sold was also a direct result of the increased purchase prices of TCM pharmaceutical products we had to source for our operations.
TCM processing and distribution – The cost of goods sold for this segment was $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $0.9 million, or approximately 23.7%. The increase is mainly due to the $2.1 million in cost of sales attributed to the newly acquired Bozhou Xinghe, offset against the reduced sales of herbal products and nil sales of flower tea bags by Xuelingxian.
Herbal cultivation and sales – The cost of goods sold for this segment was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million, or approximately 75.8%. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the herbal products we sold having lower costs as compared to the herbal products we sold in the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold was also a result of the decreased sales by Xuelingxian.
Gross Profit.
Our gross profit increased by $3.7 million, or 62.1%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2010. Our gross profit margin decreased to 13.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 19.3% for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower gross profit margin of our newly-acquired subsidiaries, namely Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Shandong Huawei and GDGY, which had an average gross profit margin of 6.47%. The decrease in our gross profit margin was also due to the increased costs of the TCM products we sourced and our downward adjustment of our selling prices as a result of competition. The decrease was affected by changes in our sales volume in respect of various types of products as well as a shift in our revenue sources from hospital customers to health clinics and retail drug stores. The gross margin for sales to hospital customers is usually higher than for other customers.
Operating Expenses.
Our operating expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 205.2%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase is primarily due to the additional operating expenses attributed to our newly acquired subsidiaries in 2011, amounting to $153,000, as well as the increased advertising, freight cost, rental and employment costs, consistent with the increase in our sales volume and expansion of our business.
General and Administrative.
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.1 million, or 46.6%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $4.4 million for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease is due to the stock compensation cost of $3.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2010, offset against the increase of approximately $0.9 million in operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 attributed to our newly acquired subsidiaries in 2011, as well as the higher sales volume and broader scale of operations, and the increase in professional service fees, such as legal, accounting and investor relations as a result of us becoming a public company.
Income from Operations.
As a result of the foregoing, our income from operations increased to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $5.0 million, or 449.8%.
Income Taxes.
Our income tax expense increased to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2010, consistent with the increased revenue as a result of our growth through acquisitions. The effective income tax rate decreased from 106.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 29.9% for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease was mainly because the nondeductible expenses for income tax purposes were $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in nondeductible expenses for income tax purposes will lead to a decrease in the effective income tax rate.
Net Income.
Our net income increased by $
3.8
million, to $3.7 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from net loss of $72,376 for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in net income was primarily due to the one time expense of the $3.0 million in stock-based compensation, which was recorded as general and administrative expenses in the three months period ended September 30, 2010, which had a significant impact on our net income. The increase in net income was also due to the additional net income of $0.8 million contributed by our newly-acquired subsidiaries in 2011. Our net profit margin increased to 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from (0.2)% of net revenues for the comparable period in 2010. . The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011was negatively impacted by the additional legal fees, accounting fees, and appraisal fees incurred in connection with our acquisitions of Bozhou Xinghe, Pacific Asia and Quantum. The profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was also negatively impacted by the lower profit margin of our newly-acquired subsidiaries, namely Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Shandong Huawei and GDGY, which had an average profit margin of 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011
The following table presents certain information derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The increase (decrease) in net revenue and net income were accounted for by an increase (decrease) in certain of our segments as indicated below:
Revenue.
Our net revenue increased by $66.0 million, or 73.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was attributable to our reportable segments as follows:
Pharmaceutical products distribution –The contribution from our pharmaceutical products distribution segment was $134.5 million, or 86.1% of our total net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $68.2 million, or 75.6% of our total net revenues, for the comparable period in 2010. The net revenue increased $66.3 million, or approximately 97.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the additional revenue contributed by our newly acquired subsidiaries in 2011, amounting to $25.1 million, and the increased sales of $35.2 million and $6.0 million by Shandong Global and Tongdetang, respectively, due to a series of marketing activities to promote sales, a broader product portfolio offered to customers, and improved efficiency in fulfilling sales orders.
TCM processing and distribution –Revenue from this segment was $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $20.6 million for the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $4.4 million, or approximately 21.4%. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in Xuelingxian’s revenue from its TCM processing and distribution operations, amounting to $3.2 million, offset against the $2.5 million in additional revenue from Bozhou Xinghe. Our flower tea bags operations have been suspended since April 25, 2011, as such, we had nil revenue from this business, as compared to sales of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Subsequent to September 30, 2011, any future results of operations in respect of our flower tea bag business in the event we decided to resume operations, will be consolidated into our TCM processing and distribution segment.
Herbal cultivation and sales – Revenue from our herbal cultivation and sales segment was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $4.1 million, or 304.7%. The increase was mainly due to sales of our entire remaining inventory of herbal products harvested during 2010 in the first quarter of 2011, amounting to $4.7 million.
Cost of Goods Sold.
Our cost of goods sold increased by $57.8 million, or 78.5%, to $131.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $73.6 million for the comparable period in 2010, which was consistent with the increase in our revenue. More specifically:
Pharmaceutical products distribution – The cost of goods sold for this segment was $114.8 million, or 87.4% of our total cost of goods sold, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $56.0 million, or 76.1% of our total costs of goods sold, for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $58.8 million, or approximately 105.0%. The increase was primarily due to the additional cost of goods sold attributed to our newly acquired subsidiaries in 2011, amounting to $23.9 million, and the increased cost of goods sold by Shandong Global due to its increased sales for the same period, amounting to $29.3 million, as well as our greater sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the comparable period in 2010, consistent with the increase in our revenue for this segment. The increase in cost of goods sold was also a direct result of the increased purchase prices of TCM pharmaceutical products we had to source for our operations.
TCM processing and distribution – The cost of goods sold for this segment was $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $16.7 million for the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $3.6 million, or approximately 21.5%. The decrease is due to the decreased cost of goods sold of $5.6 million by Xuelingxian due to its decreased sales of $5.9 million, offset against the $2.1 million in cost of goods sold attributed to the newly acquired Bozhou Xinghe.
Herbal cultivation and sales – The cost of goods sold for this segment was $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $2.6 million, or approximately 284.2%. The increase of cost of goods sold is a result of the increased sales by Xuelingxian in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and lower costs of herbal products we sold in 2011 as compared to those we sold in the previous year.
Gross Profit.
Our gross profit increased by $8.2 million, or 49.6%, to $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $16.6 million for the comparable period in 2010. Our gross profit margin decreased to 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 18.4% for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower gross profit margin of our newly-acquired subsidiaries, namely Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Shandong Huawei, and GDGY, which had an average gross profit margin of 5.9%. The decrease in our gross profit margin was also due to the increased costs of the TCM products we sourced and our downward adjustment of our selling prices as a result of competition. The decrease was affected by changes in our sales volume in respect of various types of products as well as a shift in our revenue sources from hospital customers to health clinic and retail drug stores. The gross margin for sales to hospital customers is usually higher than for other customers.
Operating Expenses.
Our operating expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 237.4%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. The increase is primarily due to the additional operating expenses attributed by our newly acquired subsidiaries, amounting to $354,000, as well as the increased advertising, freight cost and employment costs, consistent with the increase in our sales volume and expansion of our business.
General and Administrative.
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.4 million, or 36.7%, to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease is due to the stock compensation cost of $4.5 million booked for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, offsetting against the increase of approximately $1.7 million in operating costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the additional expenses attributed to our newly-acquired subsidiaries, as well as the greater sales volume and broader scale of operations, and the increase in professional service fees, such as legal, accounting and investor relations as a result of us becoming a public company.
Income from Operations.
As a result of the foregoing, our income from operations increased to $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.3 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $8.9 million, or 95.5%.
Income Taxes.
Our income tax expense increased to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2010, consistent with the increased revenue as a result of our growth through acquisitions. The effective income tax rate decreased from 38.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 25.7% for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease was mainly because the nondeductible expenses for income tax purposes were $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $
2.2
million for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in nondeductible expenses for income taxes purpose will lead to a decrease in the effective income tax rate.
Net Income.
Our net income increased by $7.2 million, to $12.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. Our net profit margin increased to 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 6.3% for the comparable period in 2010. The slight increase in profit margin was primarily due to the one-time expense of the $4.5 million in stock-based compensation, which was recorded as general and administrative expenses and had significant impact on the net income. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was negatively impacted by the additional legal fees, accounting fees, and appraisal fees incurred in connection with our acquisitions of Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Bozhou Xinghe, Pacific Asia and Quantum. Our profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011was also negatively impacted by the lower profit margin of our newly-acquired subsidiaries, namely Zibo Global, Tai’an Global, Shandong Huawei, and GDGY, which had an average profit margin of 2.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our net working capital was $31.9 million as of September 30, 2011, an increase of $14.5 million, or 83.3%, from $17.4 million as of December 31, 2010. Our cash and liquidity needs are funded primarily by cash generated from operations. We believe that the funds and cash generated from operations available to us are adequate to meet our operating needs for the remainder of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalent increased by $14.3 million, as compared to December 31, 2010, primarily attributable to various factors, including:
Net cash provided by operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash generated from operating activities was $6.0 million, having significant variance as compared to the $3.2 million generated for the comparable period in 2010. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $12.9 million, an increase of $7.2 million from $5.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. In addition to net income, the cash generated from operating activities was the net effect of the increase in accounts receivables of approximately $6.2 million, the increase in inventories of $7.4 million, the increase of restricted cash and other current assets of $5.1 million, the increase in accounts payable and accruals of $5.1 million, and the increase in amounts due to related parties of $5.3 million.
Net cash used in investing activities
Cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.02 million cash used for the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of increased expenditures relating to acquisitions of new businesses and equipment.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2.9 million used for the comparable period in 2010. The cash provided in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to our repayment of loans of $2.6 million and proceeds received from our convertible bonds financing of $10.0 million.
Capital Resources
The outstanding balances of the short-term loans we obtained from Shandong Qilu Bank and Construction Bank of China in 2010 were fully paid in January 2011 and May 2011.
As of September 30, 2011, we had six outstanding short-term loan and two outstanding long term loans obtained for our general working capital purposes as follows:

Working Capital Requirements
Historically, cash generated from operations have been sufficient to meet our general cash needs. We believe that we will be able to continue to generate revenue from our operations, which will provide the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital requirements. However, our actual short- and long-term working capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, the opportunity to acquire or start up new businesses and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Due to our rapid growth and expansion, our need for additional capital may increase and our management will seek to raise capital for the maintenance and expansion of our operations through the issuance of debt or equity, if necessary.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. Our four segments have the same revenue recognition policy. Revenues are recorded net of value-added taxes.
Accounts Receivable
We records accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. We review the accounts receivable on a quarterly basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, customer's historical payment history, our current creditworthiness and current economic trends. The amount of the provision, if any, is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income within "General and administrative." Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of the trade receivable balances were aged less than one year, except for $375,000 in accounts receivable assumed as part of our acquisition of Quantum in August 2011. Management valued the possibility in collecting such accounts receivable and concluded that those receivables are collectible since we still maintain good business relationships with the relevant customers after the acquisition. Therefore, management concluded that no allowance for uncollectible amounts was required.
Purchase Accounting and Business Combinations
We account for our business combinations using the purchase method of accounting which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The valuation and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when we receive updated information, including appraisals and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes, primarily in the PRC. We believe we have adequately provided for all taxes due but amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the amounts we have accrued. We have concluded all PRC corporate income tax matters for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and do not anticipate adjustments as a result of any tax audits within the next 12 months.
Segments
Segments are defined as components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated by our chief operating decision-maker (our CEO) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We presently have three operating segments, consisting of (i) pharmaceutical products distribution, (ii) TCM processing and distribution and (iii) herbal cultivation and sales. Currently, we do not have intersegment sales. On April 25, 2011, we decided to suspend our flower tea bags and sales operations. This was because the relevant land on which Xuelingxian is situated was to be expropriated which resulted in the lease of our factory buildings not being renewed. In September 2011, we decided that in the event we resume our flower tea bag business, our operations in respect of this segment will be integrated into our TCM processing and distribution segment since both segments are similar in operations and management.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions, foreign currency and commodity forward contracts or other off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In our ongoing business, we do not enter into transactions involving, or otherwise form relationships with, unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During and subsequent to the reporting period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect at the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on their evaluation and as discussed below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect on September 30, 2011 were not effective, as, due to limitations in the capacity of our accounting resources to identify and react in a timely manner to non-routine and complex transactions, an accounting classification error resulting from contingent consideration associated with ordinary shares issued in connection with the Quantum and Pacific Asia acquisitions was not properly detected, resulting in an understatement of liabilities and failure to record the associated charge to earnings. Therefore, we were not able to effectively identify all necessary and appropriate disclosures and to effectively capture all financial data for the purposes of preparing our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In addition to the material weakness cited above, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on April 13, 2011, the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified as of December 31, 2010:
“The Company did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to identify and give disclosures relating to the basis for applying the reverse acquisition accounting to the Company’s acquisitions of three PRC operating subsidiaries pursuant to an Earn-In Agreement, as thereafter amended, and to properly accrue for dividends declared by the PRC operating company prior to the Earn-In Agreement and properly recognize certain transactions. Therefore, the Company was not able to effectively identify all necessary and appropriate disclosures and to effectively capture all financial data for the purposes of preparing its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.”
The material weakness identified in the 2010 Form 10-K as of December 31, 2010 was the result of a transaction in conjunction with the Reverse Merger, which had not occurred prior thereto, nor have any such activities been identified on an ongoing day-to-day basis thereafter.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2010, following the identification of the material weakness, our management established financial reporting policies and procedures to facilitate the effective identification and capture of complex and significant transactions.
In response to the above-identified material weaknesses and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we have taken the following remediation initiatives:
·
|
formed an Audit Committee in February 2011, chaired by an accounting expert with adequate knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, to advise the management on matters relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
|
·
|
engaged an internal control expert in February 2011 with eight years of audit experience (including five years of “Big Four” accounting firm experience focused primarily on internal control audit issues) to assist management in evaluating complex accounting issues on an as-needed basis, and to ensure proper disclosure and reporting is made in a timely manner.
|
·
|
hired additional audit and finance personnel with experience in and knowledge of SEC reporting obligations and accounting requirements associated with U.S. public companies.
|
·
|
provided training to our management, heads of each department, our finance team and other relevant personnel of the Company in July 2011 on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidance applicable to the Company’s financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures adopted by our Company.
|
In addition, going forward, in order to address any potential material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we plan to take the following further measures:
·
|
engage a third party internal control consultant to conduct a review of our procedures in place and suggest improvements in our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
|
·
|
engage a financial expert consultant with “Big Four” accounting firm experience to assist management in reviewing and evaluating our financial and accounting treatment of complex and non-routine transactions (including material acquisitions) on an as-needed basis.
|
·
|
arrange for our key financial personnel, including our Chief Financial Officer and head of our finance department, to attend on-site training programs on SEC reporting and disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP standards and internal control over financial reporting for U.S. public companies.
|
As of September 30, 2011, the Company continued to reassess its internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the foregoing remediation measures and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Other than as disclosed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There is no material legal proceeding pending against us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have not been any material changes to the Company’s risk factors from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on April 13, 2011, except as follows:
We may experience difficulty in managing our acquisitions and future growth.
We have grown significantly in recent years with our net revenues increasing from $86.8 million in 2009 to $140.3 million in 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 61.6% during that period. We anticipate that we will continue to grow through organic growth and selective acquisitions. Managing our acquisitions and growth has resulted in, and will continue to result in, substantial demands on our management, operational and other resources. To manage the potential growth of our operations, we will be required to, among other things:
|
¨
|
control operating expenses and achieve a high level of efficiency;
|
|
¨
|
enhance our information technology systems, including installing compatible warehouse management and team management systems;
|
|
¨
|
strengthen our operational financial and management systems, procedures and controls;
|
|
¨
|
maintain and expand our relationships with suppliers, hospitals, distributors, retail pharmacies and other third parties;
|
|
¨
|
control procurement costs and optimize product and service offerings and prices;
|
|
¨
|
increase marketing, sales and sales support activities; and
|
|
¨
|
expand, train and manage our growing personnel resources.
|
Our current and planned operations, personnel, systems, internal procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future growth. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies or respond to competitive pressures.
Recently, the addition of GDGY has given us access to the pharmaceutical retail market. We have also gained a critical production capability through our acquisition of Bozhou Xinghe. In the future, although we may also acquire businesses in certain areas, our experience and expertise in such areas may not be as strong as our experience and expertise in distributing pharmaceutical and healthcare products, or we may not possess a track record in such areas. For example, prior to our acquisition of GDGY, we did not previously operate in the pharmaceutical retail market.
Furthermore, we did not previously have business operations in the province of Guangdong. We are unfamiliar with local business practices in this region and we may face difficulties navigating local regulatory schemes, maintaining a local management team, facing challenges from local competitors and finding sufficiently qualified technical personnel in the area. We may face logistical issues with respect to the expansion of our operations in Guangdong and related to any necessary government approvals and permits. We also may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified staff in this region. We may also face other unexpected difficulties in conducting our business that we do not face in areas where we had conducted businesses before we acquired GDGY.
Our limited operating history in the sales of Chinese herbal medicine may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
Our TCM processing and sales business has expanded to include the sales of Chinese herbal medicine with our acquisition of our subsidiary, Bozhou Xinghe on July 4, 2011. Bozhou Xinghe was established in April 2009 but did not commenced operations after it obtained a Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, certificate in July 2011. Its limited operating history in processing and sales of Chinese herbal medicine may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating its business. Although we acquired Bozhou Xinghe for its potential in creating a new profitable source of revenue for us, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing this new business segment, failing which we may incur net losses in the future. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties that companies at a similar stage of development frequently experience, including the potential failure to:
|
·
|
obtain sufficient working capital to support its expansion;
|
|
·
|
maintain or protect our intellectual property;
|
|
·
|
maintain its proprietary technology;
|
|
·
|
expand its product offerings and maintain the quality of its products;
|
|
·
|
manage its expanding operations and continue to fill customers’ orders on time;
|
|
·
|
maintain adequate control of its expenses allowing it to realize anticipated revenue growth;
|
|
·
|
implement its product development, marketing and sales strategies and adapt and modify them as needed;
|
|
·
|
integrate any future acquisitions; and
|
|

If we are unable to address any or all of the foregoing risks, our business, prospects and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We do not directly own any equity interest in GDGY, and we depend upon the contractual arrangements between our subsidiary, Hairui Xiexin and GDGY, to control and derive economical benefits therefrom, which may not be as effective as direct ownership.
We do not directly own any equity interest in our indirect subsidiary, GDGY. On July 11, 2011, our wholly owned subsidiary, Hairui Xiexin entered into a series of contractual arrangements with GDGY and the shareholders of GDGY, pursuant to which Hairui Xiexin will act as the management company and operation trustee for GDGY, while GDGY conducts the principal operations of the business. The contractual agreements effectively transferred the economic benefits of GDGY’s business to Hairui Xiexin, and Hairui Xiexin assumed effectively control and management of GDGY. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over GDGY as direct ownership.
The contractual arrangements are governed by PRC laws and provides for the resolution of disputes through arbitration proceedings pursuant to PRC laws. Accordingly, the contractual arrangements will be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws. If GDGY or its shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the contractual arrangements, we may have to rely on legal remedies under PRC laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, and there is a risk that we may be unable to obtain these remedies. The legal environment in China is not as developed as in other jurisdictions. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce the contractual arrangements.
