CHINA AGRI-BUSINESS, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

China Agri-Business, Inc. (“China Agri”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on December 7, 2005. On October 31, 2006, China Agri effectuated a 2.032 to 1 forward stock split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

On March 16, 2006, China Agri executed a Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreement (the “China Agri Advisory Agreement”) with Friedland Corporate Investor Services LLC (“Friedland”). The China Agri Advisory Agreement provided that Friedland would assist China Agri in forming a Wholly-Owned Foreign Enterprise (“Meixin”) under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), in acquiring control of a PRC business enterprise, and in becoming publicly traded in the United States. As consideration for these services, China Agri issued 1,327,877 shares of China Agri common stock to 7 Friedland designees (including 10,000 shares to the then sole director of China Agri) and paid Friedland 750,000 PRC Renminbi (“RMB”) (or $98,610 translated at the year 2007 average exchange rate) upon the establishment of a trading market in the United States for China Agri’s shares of common stock.

On March 24, 2006, China Agri formed Mei Xin Agri Technology (Shaanxi) Co., Ltd. (“Meixin”). Meixin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Agri and a limited liability company organized under the laws of PRC. Pursuant to measures passed by the stockholders of Shaanxi Xin Sheng Centennial Agriculture and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xinsheng”), a corporation formed under the laws of the PRC on April 22, 2002, on April 10, 2006, a Management Entrustment Agreement dated April 18, 2006 between Meixin and Xinsheng, and a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 2006 between China Agri and Xinsheng (collectively, the “Transaction”), Meixin acquired management control of Xinsheng, in the same manner as if it were a wholly owned subsidiary under PRC law, and China Agri issued 10,950,897 shares of China Agri common stock, representing approximately 89% of the 12,278,774 shares of China Agri common stock outstanding after the Transaction, to a trustee of a trust for the benefit of the Xinsheng stockholders. The Transaction has been accounted for as a “reverse merger”, since the stockholders of Xinsheng owned a majority of China Agri’s common stock immediately following the Transaction. Xinsheng is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements prior to the Transaction are those of Xinsheng and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Xinsheng, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Transaction include the assets and liabilities of China Agri, Meixin, and Xinsheng (collectively, the “Company”), historical operations of Xinsheng, and operations of China Agri and Meixin from the date of the Transaction.

Xinsheng’s primary activities are the manufacture, marketing and sale of organic and environmentally friendly “Green” agricultural enhancement products in China.

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET (Continued)

The product rights were acquired by Xinsheng in December 2006 from an unrelated third party and relate to six registered fertilizer products.

The patent was acquired by Xinsheng in 2002 from three related parties (one of the parties was an officer, director and significant stockholder of the Company at the time of the exchange) in exchange for a total of 16.67% of the issued and outstanding shares of Xinsheng common stock. The patent (and contributed capital) at the date of the exchange on April 22, 2002 has been reflected at the transferors’ cost. The patent is for Zero-tillage Fertilizing Equipment (PRC Patent Number 330398), which is a type of seeding machine, the use of which reduces soil erosion.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the Company’s succeeding years ending March 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is $19,129, $19,129, $19,129 and $14,346, respectively.
 
NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

On May 31, 2006, China Agri sold 10,000 Units of securities to an investor at a price of $10.00 per Unit, or $100,000 total. Each Unit was comprised of one share of Series A preferred stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1.50 per share exercisable through May 31, 2009. Each share of Series A preferred stock was not entitled to any voting rights, except that the consent of the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were necessary to permit the authorization or issuance or any increase in the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of capital stock ranking equal to or senior to the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Stock”) was not entitled to any dividends. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series A Stock were entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution an amount in cash equal to $10.00 per share before any payment was made to the holders of common stock or other capital stock of the Company, the terms of which do not specifically provide that such securities rank senior to or on a parity with the Series A Stock as to rights on liquidation. The holders of Series A Stock were not entitled to receive liquidation payments until liquidation payments were made in full to the holders of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Stock as to rights on liquidation. The holders of Series A Stock were to share ratably in liquidation payments with the holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Stock as to rights on liquidation.

Each share of Series A Stock was automatically convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of one-third of the price per share of the common stock paid for by the purchasers of common stock in a Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The number of shares of common stock issuable upon one share of Series A Stock in such event was the quotient obtained by dividing $10 by the conversion price.

F-8


NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)
 
Upon completion of the sale of common stock for $1.00 per share pursuant to the public offering which closed on October 11, 2007 (see note 8), each outstanding share of Series A Stock automatically converted into 30 shares of common stock (300,000 shares of common stock total). The Company recorded as a dividend and as an increase in additional paid-in capital, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (the “BCF”). The intrinsic value of the BCF was the difference between the $300,000 fair value of the common stock issued upon conversion and the $100,000 proceeds received, or $200,000.
 
NOTE 8 - PUBLIC OFFERING

In 2006, China Agri entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Spencer Edwards, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), a NASD-registered broker-dealer, in connection with the Company’s public offering (the “Public Offering”) of up to 1,000,000 Units of China Agri securities at $1.00 per Unit, or $1,000,000 total. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1.50 per share exercisable for three years from the date of issuance, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $2.00 per share exercisable for three years from the date of issuance only if the $1.50 Unit Warrant was exercised. The Underwriter made no commitment to purchase (or take down) all or any part of the Units, but agreed to use its best efforts on an “all or none” basis to sell 300,000 Units within a period of 90 days (which may have been extended for up to an additional 60 days upon the mutual consent of China Agri and the Underwriter) following the effective date of the related Form SB-2 registration statement, which effective date was July 13, 2007. Until 300,000 Units were sold, all funds received by the Underwriter from subscribers were placed in an escrow account. In the event that 300,000 Units were not sold within the 90 day period (150 day period, if extended), the funds deposited with the escrow agent were to be returned in full to subscribers.

On October 11, 2007, China Agri completed its public offering. 379,800 units of the Company’s securities were sold at a price of $1.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $379,800. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting offering costs of $158,193, were $221,607.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriter was paid $30,384 (8%) commissions and a $11,394 (3%) non-accountable expense allowance. Additionally, China Agri issued the Underwriter 37,980 warrants, each exercisable into one share of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share from January 8, 2008 to July 13, 2012.

NOTE 10 - RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by Xinsheng only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, PRC laws and regulations require that annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income should be set aside prior to payments of dividends as a reserve fund. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations Xinsheng is restricted in its ability to transfer a portion of its net assets in the form of dividends, loans or advances, which restricted portion amounted to approximately $4,120,000 and $4,105,000 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

F-10

 
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

Xinsheng is subject to a PRC 25% standard enterprise income tax. However, due to its agricultural industry status, the National Tax Bureau in Xi’an High-Tech Development Zone granted Xinsheng three annual exemptions from this tax. The first exemption was granted for the year ended August 31, 2006, the second exemption was granted and adjusted to the year ended December 31, 2007, and the third exemption was granted for the year ending December 31, 2008.

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had an unrecognized deferred United States income tax liability relating to undistributed earnings of Xinsheng. These earnings are considered to be permanently invested in operations outside the United States. Generally, such earnings become subject to United States income tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. Determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred United States income tax liability with respect to such earnings is not practicable.

The Company did not have any significant temporary differences relating to deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes. Reconciliations follow:

NOTE 13 - CORPORATE FINANCE ADVISORY SERVICES AGREEMENTS

On September 3, 2005, Xinsheng executed a Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreement (the “Xinsheng Advisory Agreement”) with Friedland. The agreement provided that Friedland would provide certain corporate finance advisory services to Xinsheng designed to result in Xinsheng’s shares (or a successor entity’s shares) becoming publicly-traded in the United States. As consideration for these services, Xinsheng paid Friedland a total of $211,678 ($86,772 in 2005 and $124,906 in 2007)

On March 16, 2006, as described in Note 1, China Agri also executed a Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreement (the “China Agri Advisory Agreement”) with Friedland. Under this agreement, China Agri paid Friedland $98,610 in 2007 which was due upon the establishment of a trading market in the United States for China Agri’s shares of common stock (which occurred October 17, 2007). In addition, China Agri issued 1,327,877 shares of China Agri common stock to 7 Friedland designees (including 10,000 shares to the then sole director of China Agri).
 
NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Agreements

Xinsheng leases its office space (approximately 7300 square feet) at an annual rent of 366,390 RMB ($52,250 translated at the March 31, 2008 exchange rate) under a lease with a three year term expiring March 31, 2011.

Xinsheng leases its operating space (approximately 2600 square feet) at an annual rent of 38,500 RMB ($5,490 translated at the March 31, 2008 exchange rate) under a lease expiring March 31, 2010.

China Agri utilizes office space provided by one of its directors at no cost.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, rental expenses for all operating leases amounted to $15,896 and $17,007, respectively.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

PRC Risks

Substantially all of the Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC and governed by PRC laws and regulations. Meixin and Xinsheng are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments and foreign-owned enterprises. Because these laws and regulations are relatively new, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. The Company receives substantially all of its revenues in RMB, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payment of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investors should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this report, when evaluating our business and future prospects. Should any of the following risks actually occur, our business,   financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that   event, the market price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose   all or a portion of the value of their investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect us.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS:

WE OPERATE IN A HIGHLY-COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUE.

We are principally engaged in the manufacture and marketing of organic biochemical agricultural application products and we face competition from numerous other companies. Many of our competitors are better capitalized and more experienced with a larger customer base and have deeper ties in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) marketplace. We may be unsuccessful in our attempts to compete, which would have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

THE FERTILIZER REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE WE REQUIRE TO OPERATE IN THE PRC IS SUBJECT TO ANNUAL RENEWAL AND WE HAVE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE CERTIFICATE WILL BE RENEWED.

In the PRC, producers of fertilizers and related products must obtain a government approval known as a fertilizer registration certificate. Since 2004, we have obtained a temporary certificate each year from the PRC’s Ministry of Agriculture authorizing us to manufacture and distribute our agricultural application products throughout China. This certificate is reviewed by the PRC’s Ministry of Agriculture on an annual basis.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRC'S AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY.

The PRC is currently the world's most populous country and one of the largest producers and consumers of agricultural products. Roughly half of the PRC's labor force is engaged in agriculture, even though only about 10% of the land is suitable for cultivation. Although the PRC hopes to further increase agricultural production, incomes for Chinese farmers are stagnating. Despite the Chinese government's continued emphasis on agricultural self-sufficiency, inadequate port facilities and lack of warehousing and cold storage facilities impedes the growth of the domestic agricultural trade. We rely on local farmers in the PRC to purchase our products, which are generally purchased under a cash-on-delivery basis or on 9-12 months credit. Accordingly, any difficulties farmers in the PRC experience in selling their produce could reduce the demand for our products and hinder the ability of the farmers to pay their credit obligations to us on a timely basis.

OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE SUBJECT TO COUNTERFEITING AND/OR IMITATION, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVE POSITION.

Although we do not own any patents relating to products we market, our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our products. We cannot guarantee that counterfeiting or imitation of our products will not occur in the future or that we will be able to detect it and deal with it effectively. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation could impact negatively upon our corporate and brand image. In addition, counterfeit or imitation products could result in a reduction in our market share, a loss of revenues or an increase in our administrative expenses in respect of detection or prosecution.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY CONTROL AND MANAGE OUR PLANNED GROWTH.

If our business and markets grow and develop, it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. In addition, we may face challenges in managing expanding product and service offerings and in integrating acquired businesses with our own. Such eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and facilities. Failure to satisfy such increased demands could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause production backlogs, longer product development time frames and administrative inefficiencies.

OUR PROFITABILITY DEPENDS ON OUR SUCCESS ON BRAND RECOGNITION AND WE COULD LOSE OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROTECT OUR TRADEMARKS AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY RELATED LITIGATION COULD BE TIME-CONSUMING AND COSTLY.

Our trademarked brands have gained substantial recognition to our customers in various areas. However, the protection of intellectual property rights in the PRC may not be as effective as those in the U.S. or other countries. The unauthorized use of our brands could enable some other manufacturers to take unfair advantage, which could harm our business and competitive position.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO SUPPORT OUR GROWTH AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OR HIRE SUCH PERSONNEL IN THE FUTURE, OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

Competition for senior management and senior research and development personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or senior technology personnel, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or senior technology personnel in the future. Such failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition.
 
WE DO NOT PRESENTLY MAINTAIN FIRE, THEFT, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY INSURANCE, WHICH LEAVES US WITH EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF LOSS OR DAMAGE TO OUR PROPERTIES OR CLAIMS FILED AGAINST US.

We do not maintain fire, theft, product liability or other insurance of any kind. We bear the economic risk with respect to loss of or damage or destruction to our property and to the interruption of our business as well as liability to third parties for damage or destruction to them or their property that may be caused by our personnel or products. Such liability could be substantial and the occurrence of such loss or liability may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects. While product liability lawsuits in the PRC are rare, and we have never experienced significant failure of our products, there can be no assurance that we would not face liability in the event of the failure of any of our products.
 
RISK RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY:

WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE PRC GOVERNMENT'S APPROVAL OF OUR PRODUCTS AS "GREEN".

All of our organic agricultural enhancement are qualified for being used for production of "Green food” because they meet the requirements of the Green Food Research Center of the PRC Ministry of Agriculture for being safe and chemical free. Should the government change the current standards for Green foods, we may not qualify for the Green food labeling which may lead to a significant decrease in our sales prices, sales and profits, which would materially and adversely affect our business.

OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND OTHER NATURAL CATASTROPHES IN CHINA.
     
Our products are used for agricultural purposes, and accordingly our business is exposed to the risk of severe weather conditions and other natural catastrophes in China. Natural catastrophes may include hail storms, floods, droughts, windstorms, earthquakes, fires, insect infestations and other events, each of which tends to be unpredictable. Cold weather and other unusual weather conditions, particularly during or prior to the spring plowing season, can significantly affect the purchasing decisions of the Company’s customers, and can have a dramatic effect on our financial results.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE PRC:

WE FACE THE RISK THAT CHANGES IN THE POLICIES OF THE PRC GOVERNMENT COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT UPON THE BUSINESS WE MAY BE ABLE TO CONDUCT IN THE PRC AND THE PROFITABILITY OF SUCH BUSINESS.

The PRC's economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, there is no assurance that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic and social life.

THE PRC LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING OUR CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS ARE SOMETIMES VAGUE AND UNCERTAIN. ANY CHANGES IN SUCH PRC LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL AND ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. We and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, we are required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.

A SLOWDOWN OR OTHER ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PRC ECONOMY MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CUSTOMERS, DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES AND OUR BUSINESS.

All of our operations are conducted in the PRC and all of our revenues are generated from sales in the PRC. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in recent years, we cannot assure you that such growth will continue. The Green food industry in the PRC is relatively new and growing, but we do not know how sensitive we are to a slowdown in economic growth or other adverse changes in the PRC economy which may affect demand for Green food products. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our business.

INFLATION IN THE PRC COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY AND GROWTH.

While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. Such an austere policy can lead to a slowing of economic growth. In October 2004, the People's Bank of China, the PRC's central bank, raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade and indicated in a statement that the measure was prompted by inflationary concerns in the Chinese economy. Repeated rises in interest rates by the central bank would likely slow economic activity in China which could, in turn, materially increase our costs and also reduce demand for our products.

GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL OF CURRENCY CONVERSION MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi ("RMB") into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
 
5

 
The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain expenses as they come due.

THE FLUCTUATION OF THE RMB MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. Dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our common shares or for other business purposes and the U.S. Dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the RMB we convert would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. Dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

In July, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. Dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 13.5% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar as of December 31, 2007. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. Dollar.

RECENT PRC STATE ADMINISTRATION OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE ("SAFE") REGULATIONS REGARDING OFFSHORE FINANCING ACTIVITIES BY PRC RESIDENTS HAVE UNDERGONE A NUMBER OF CHANGES WHICH MAY INCREASE THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN WE FACE. THE FAILURE BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE PRC RESIDENTS TO MAKE ANY REQUIRED APPLICATIONS AND FILINGS PURSUANT TO SUCH REGULATIONS MAY PREVENT US FROM BEING ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE PROFITS AND COULD EXPOSE US AND OUR PRC RESIDENT SHAREHOLDERS TO LIABILITY UNDER PRC LAW.

SAFE issued a public notice ("October Notice") effective from November 1, 2005, which requires registration with SAFE by the PRC resident shareholders of any foreign holding company of a PRC entity. Without registration, the PRC entity cannot remit any of its profits out of the PRC as dividends or otherwise; however, it is uncertain how the October Notice will be interpreted or implemented regarding specific documentation requirements for a foreign holding company formed prior to the effective date of the October Notice, such as in our case. In addition, the October Notice requires that any monies remitted to PRC residents outside of the PRC be returned within 180 days; however, there is no indication of what the penalty will be for failure to comply or if shareholder non-compliance will be considered to be a violation of the October Notice by us or otherwise affect us.
 
In the event that the proper procedures are not followed under the SAFE October Notice, we could lose the ability to remit monies outside of the PRC and would therefore be unable to pay dividends or make other distributions. Our PRC resident shareholders could be subject to fines, other sanctions and even criminal liabilities under the PRC Foreign Exchange Administrative Regulations promulgated January 29, 1996, as amended.

ANY RECURRENCE OF SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME, OR SARS, OR ANOTHER WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.

A renewed outbreak of SARS or another widespread public health problem in the PRC, such as bird flu where all of the Company's revenue is derived, could have an adverse effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of health-related factors, including quarantines or closures of some offices that would adversely disrupt our operations. Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could adversely affect our operations.

BECAUSE OUR PRINCIPAL ASSETS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. AND ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS AND NEARLY ALL OUR OFFICERS RESIDE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS BASED ON U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AGAINST US AND OUR OFFICERS AND SOME DIRECTORS IN THE U.S. OR TO ENFORCE A U.S. COURT JUDGMENT AGAINST US OR THEM IN THE PRC.
 
6

 
Nearly all of our directors and officers reside outside of the U.S. In addition, our operating subsidiary is located in the PRC and substantially all of its assets are located outside of the U.S. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the U.S. to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the U.S. and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise.

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ESTABLISHING ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT, LEGAL AND FINANCIAL CONTROLS IN THE PRC.

The PRC historically has not adopted a western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

LACK OF BANK DEPOSIT INSURANCE PUTS OUR FUNDS AT RISK OF LOSS FROM BANK FORECLOSURE OR INSOLVENCIES. 

China Agri-Business maintains certain bank accounts in China that are not insured and are not protected by FDIC insurance or other insurance. As of March 31, 2008, China Agri-Business held approximately $6,300,000 in bank accounts in China. If a Chinese bank holding our funds experienced insolvency, it may not permit us to withdraw our funds which would result in a loss of such funds and reduction of our net assets.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STOCK:

MARKET VOLATILITY AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS MAY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.

The market prices for securities of companies with business activities in the PRC in general have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future. The following factors, in addition to other risk factors described in this section, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock:

 
·
Innovations or new products by our competitors;
 
·
Severe weather or other natural catastrophes in the PRC;
 
·
Regulatory developments in the PRC or actions taken by PRC regulatory agencies with respect to our products, manufacturing process or sales and marketing activities;
 
·
Regulatory developments in the United States with respect to securities of companies with business activities in the PRC;
 
·
The success of our research and development efforts;
 
·
Any intellectual property infringement action, or any other litigation, involving us;
 
·
Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
·
Our ability to remain quoted on the OTCBB;
 
·
Sales of large blocks of our common stock;
 
·
Sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; and
 
·
The loss of any of our key personnel.

The occurrence of one or more of these factors may cause our stock price to decline, and investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price that they paid for the shares. In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for PRC related stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

WE ARE NOT LIKELY TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary. In addition, our operating subsidiary, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. Dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES MAY DECLINE DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE TO THE PUBLIC.

On April 22, 2006, we issued 5,389,221 shares of our common stock (approximately 10,950,897 shares after giving effect to our forward stock split on October 31, 2006) as consideration for the Management Agreement. Of this amount, 9,099,749 shares are presently held in a trust and can be released from the trust and are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Such sales, or the possibility of such sales, may adversely affect the price of our common stock and may make it more difficult for us to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

In addition, on May 31, 2006, we sold 10,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share. Such Series A convertible preferred stock was automatically converted into 300,000 shares of our common stock upon completion of our initial public offering on October 11, 2007. The shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold under Rule 144 beginning six months after exercise.

In addition, on October 11, 2007, we completed an underwriter initial public offering of an aggregate of $379,800 in gross proceeds from the sale of 379,800 units for $1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share and (iii) one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at $2.00 per share.

This large number of shares of common stock available for future resale could create an overhang effect that may depress the trading price of our common stock.

WE ARE AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE 4,900,000 SHARES OF AN "UNDESIGNATED" CLASS OF STOCK WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VOTING POWER OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 4,900,000 shares of an undesignated class of stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

WE URGE YOU TO READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO BEGINNING ON PAGE F-1. THIS  DISCUSSION MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS COULD DIFFER  MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A  RESULT OF A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS AND  UNCERTAINTIES DISCUSSED UNDER THE HEADING “ RISK FACTORS” IN THIS  FORM 10-Q AND IN OUR OTHER FILINGS WITH THE SEC. SEE “CAUTIONARY  STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS .”
 
Overview
 
China Agri-Business, Inc. (“China Agri,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on December 7, 2005. On March 24, 2006, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of China, registered in the city of Xi’an, called Mei Xin Agri Technology (Shaanxi) Co., Ltd. (“Meixin”). On April 18, 2006, Meixin signed a “Management Entrustment Agreement” with Shaanxi Xin Sheng Centennial Agricultural and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xinsheng”), a company organized under the laws of China that manufactures organic agricultural chemistry products in China. Under that agreement, Meixin acquired management control of Xinsheng, to the same effect as if Xinsheng were a wholly owned subsidiary of Meixin under Chinese law. Consequently, Xinsheng is our operating company in China.

In consideration of Xinsheng’s entry into the Management Entrustment Agreement, we issued to the shareholders of Xinsheng an aggregate of 5,389,221 shares of our common stock, which were converted into 10,950,897 shares, or 89% of our total outstanding common stock, after a 2.032-for-1 forward stock split in October 2006. Those shares are held by trustees on behalf of the shareholders of Xinsheng. Because the transaction resulted in Xinsheng shareholders owning a majority of China Agri’s common stock, the transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” for financial reporting purposes, with Xinsheng being deemed the acquirer and continuing entity.

Xinsheng develops, manufactures and markets organic agricultural chemistry products used for farming in the PRC. These products have been shown to contain no toxins and to have no adverse effects on the environment, and are suitable for use in farming without harsh chemical fertilizers or pesticides and the production of crops considered to be “all-natural,” “organic,” or “green.” Crops grown with our products may qualify for the “AA green food” rating in China. It has been demonstrated that by using our products, farmers can increase agricultural output and effectively reduce costs.

Effect of May 12, 2008 Earthquake in China

Our operating subsidiary Xinsheng is located in the city of Xi’an in the Shaanxi province of China. The epicenter of the earthquake occurred in the Sichuan province, which borders Shaanxi province. Xinsheng has not experienced personnel casualties or serious damage to its facilities as a result of the earthquake. However, due to the widespread devastation caused by the earthquake, it is likely that sales to customers located in areas affected by the earthquake will be impacted. The extent of the impact of the earthquake on our financial results cannot be determined as of the date of this filing.

Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Our business is dependent upon the agricultural industry in China and accordingly is vulnerable to adverse weather conditions. The widely reported snow and sleet weather conditions that existed in China during the end of January and early February of 2008 has had a significant adverse impact on our financial results for the first quarter. We have not yet assessed the anticipated impact of the inclement weather on our financial results for the remainder of the 2008 year. We expect to receive some delayed orders when the spring plowing season begins. In addition, we plan to strengthen our sales efforts during the remainder of year in order to recoup orders that did not materialize during the first quarter of 2008 due to the adverse weather conditions.

Sales

Sales decreased $224,986, or 40% in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same quarter of 2007. As indicated above, the decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the snow and sleet weather conditions which existed in China during the end of January and early February. The inclement weather affected the central, eastern and southern parts of China, traditional agricultural areas of China. In addition, the unusually cold weather postponed the beginning of the spring plowing season in China, which typically begins during the month of March. Under normal weather conditions, the beginning of the spring plowing season coincides with an increase in orders for our products.

Cost of goods sold

Consequently, cost of goods sold decreased $76,065, or 42% in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Gross margin rate was 69.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a slight improvement compared to 68.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The improvement in gross margin rate is primarily attributable to a decrease in the price of certain raw materials. Of the cost of goods sold amount, approximately 65.41% was raw material cost; 26.35% was packing material cost; 4.07% was labor cost; and 4.17% was utilities and other costs. Compared to the same quarter of 2007, the price of certain packing materials increased slightly. This resulted in the percentage of packing material cost included in the cost of goods sold to increase from 21% to 26%. Due to the increase of packing costs, as well as an anticipated increase of labor costs, we anticipate that our gross margins will be adversely affected during the remainder of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $58,875, or 32%, from $183,309 during the first quarter of 2007 to $124,434 during the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was due primarily to lower professional fees, which were partially offset by a $22,844 increase in selling and marketing expenses.

Net income

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $116,328, representing a 43% decrease compared to net income $202,501 for the comparable quarter of 2007. Net income as a percentage of sales decreased from 36% during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to 34% during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income is due primarily to the decrease of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, approximately 83% of the Company’s assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,376,366, an increase of $391,918 compared to the balance of $5,984,448 as of December 31, 2007. Of the cash and cash equivalents amount, 37%, or $146,178, was provided by operating activities. The remaining 63%, or $245,740, was provided by the effect of foreign exchange rate changes.

In July of 2007 we became a reporting company that is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we are required to file periodic and other reports with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. The costs of being a reporting company in the United States, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, audit and review fees, investor relations and other fees, are expected to have an adverse effect on our cash flows going forward.

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. We are seeking additional funding through additional equity and/or debt financings. However, there can be no assurance that that any additional financing will become available to us, and if available, on terms acceptable to us. Any financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development of our products and business.

Foreign currency translation

Our functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”). As indicated above, the appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar has had a positive impact on our overall cash position. However, this trend may not continue in the future.

Tax-exempt status

The local government in the PRC previously waived the income tax liabilities of our PRC subsidiary Xinsheng for two years until August 31, 2007, and extended it to the calendar years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. For purposes of comparison, had we lost our tax exempt status during the first quarter of 2008, our cash flow would have been reduced by approximately $39,000 for the quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (or “GAAP”). The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company physically counts inventory at the end of the calendar year. To prepare the quarterly financial statements, we used book recorded balance.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, but generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The credit risk is controlled through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon age of receivables and other factors. As of March 31, 2008, trade receivables aged between 90 to 120 days were approximately 41% of total trade receivables; no trade receivables were over 121 days. The Company’s policy is to reserve 50% of accounts receivable aged between 90 to 120 days and 100% of accounts receivable aged over 120 days as an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Income

Sales of products are recorded when title passes to the customer, which is generally at time of shipment. The Company typically does not permit customers to return products.

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
