in the diagram below:
NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principle
of consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Green New Jersey,
Jinong, Gufeng, Tianjuyuan, and the VIE Companies. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Effective
June 16, 2013, Yuxing was converted from being a wholly-owned
foreign enterprise 100% owned by Jinong to a domestic enterprise
100% owned one natural person, who is not affiliated to the Company
(“Yuxing’s Owner”). Effective the same day, Yuxing’s Owner entered
into a series of contractual agreements with Jinong pursuant to
which Yuxing became the VIE of Jinong.
VIE
assessment
A VIE
is an entity (1) that has total equity at risk that is not
sufficient to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where the
group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the
entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the
entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s
expected residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights
of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to
absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive
the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and
substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are
conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few
voting rights. In order to determine if an entity is considered a
VIE, the Company first performs a qualitative analysis, which
requires certain subjective decisions regarding its assessments,
including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, the
variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along
to its interest holders, the rights of the parties, and the purpose
of the arrangement. If the Company cannot conclude after a
qualitative analysis whether an entity is a VIE, it performs a
quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis considered the
design of the entity, the risks that cause variability, the purpose
for which the entity was created, and the variability that the
entity was designed to pass along to its variable interest holders.
When the primary beneficiary could not be identified through a
qualitative analysis, we used internal cash flow models to compute
and allocate expected losses or expected residual returns to each
variable interest holder based upon the relative contractual rights
and preferences of each interest holder in the VIE’s capital
structure.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these
estimates using the best information available at the time the
estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially
from those results.
Cash
and cash equivalents and concentration of cash
For
statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on
hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with state owned banks
in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) and banks in the United
States, and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash
equivalents. The Company maintains large sums of cash in three
major banks in China. The aggregate cash in such accounts and on
hand as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 were $82,826,326
and $72,178,448, respectively. There is no insurance securing these
deposits in China. In addition, the Company also had $127,615 and
$81,356 in cash in two banks in the United States as of September
30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 respectively. Cash overdraft as of
balance sheet date will be reflected as liabilities in the balance
sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts
and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash
in bank accounts.
Accounts
receivable
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit
losses on accounts receivable. Management regularly reviews the
composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit
worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment
patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves at each
year-end. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off through
a charge to the valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2019, and
June 30, 2019, the Company had accounts receivable of $138,984,949
and $145,190,160, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of
$27,993,503 and $33,515,410, respectively. The Company adopts no
policy to accept product returns after the sales delivery.
Inventories
Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average
basis) or market. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in
process, finished goods and packaging materials. The Company
reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and
establishes reserves when determined necessary. At September 30,
2019 and 2018, the Company had no reserve for obsolete
goods.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company records intangible assets acquired individually or as part
of a group at fair value. Intangible assets with definitive lives
are amortized over the useful life of the intangible asset, which
is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute
directly or indirectly to the entity’s future cash flows. The
Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least
annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever
any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized
for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of
September 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively.
Customer
deposits
Payments
received before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition
are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits. When all revenue
recognition criteria are met, the customer deposits are recognized
as revenue. As of September 30, 2019, and June 30, 2019, the
Company had customer deposits of $6,164,137 and $6,514,619,
respectively.
Earnings
per share
Basic
earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury
stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding
stock options and stock awards.
The
components of basic and diluted earnings per share consist of the
following:

Recent
accounting pronouncements
Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-2”), which provides guidance on lease
amendments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification. This ASU
will be effective for us beginning in May 1, 2019. We are currently
in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU
2016-2 on our consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In June 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial
asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost
basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.
The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider
in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured
either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted
information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of
expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users
of the financial statements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the
Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption
is allowed as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its
Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did
not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on
the Company’s present or future financial statements.
Income Tax: In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05
which amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” to provide guidance on
accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted
on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Act”) pursuant to Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act” (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on
accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. Under SAB 118,
companies are able to record a reasonable estimate of the impact of
the Tax Act if one is able to be determined and report it as a
provisional amount during the measurement period. The measurement
period is not to extend beyond one year from the enactment
date.

The
convertible notes take priority over the preferred stock and common
stock of Jinong, and any other class or series of capital stocks
Jinong issues in the future in terms of interests and payments in
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Jinong.
On or after the third anniversary of the issuance date of the note,
noteholders may request Jinong to process the note conversion to
convert the note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The
notes cannot be converted prior to the mature date. The per share
conversion price of the notes is the higher of the following: (i)
$5.00 per share or (ii) 75% of the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date the noteholder delivers the conversion
notice. Due to the discontinuation of VIE agreements with Zhenbai’s
shareholders, certain convertible notes issued on June 30, 2016
with a face amount of RMB 12,000,000 ($1,677,600) were tendered
back to the Company. All outstanding balance of unpaid principal
and accrued interest in the tendered convertible notes were
forfeited.
The
Company determined that the fair value of the convertible notes
payable was RMB 51,776,525 ($7,238,358) and RMB 51,629,859
($7,217,854) as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019,
respectively. Aside from the forfeiture of the convertible notes
previously issued to Zhenbai’s shareholders, the difference between
the fair value of the notes and the face amount of the notes is
being amortized to accretion implied interest expense over the
three-year life of the notes. As of September 30, 2019, the
accumulated amortization of this discount into accretion expenses
was $1,354,691.
NOTE
11 – TAXES PAYABLE
Enterprise
Income Tax
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law of the PRC
replaced the tax laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign
Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33%
rate that was applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The two-year tax
exemption and three-year 50% tax reduction tax holiday for
production-oriented FIEs was eliminated. Since January 1, 2008,
Jinong became subject to income tax in China at a rate of 15% as a
high-tech company, because of the expiration of its tax exemption
on December 31, 2007. Accordingly, it made provision for income
taxes for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
of $449,131 and $1,654,416, respectively, which is mainly due to
the operating income from VIEs.

the PRC were subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 13% of
the gross sales price. On April 29, 2008, the PRC State of
Administration of Taxation (SAT) released Notice #56, “Exemption
of VAT for Organic Fertilizer Products”, which allows certain
fertilizer products to be exempt from VAT beginning June 1, 2008.
The Company submitted the application for exemption in May 2009,
which was granted effective September 1, 2009, continuing through
December 31, 2015. On August 10, 2015 and August 28, 2015, the SAT
released Notice #90. “Reinstatement of VAT for Fertilizer
Products”, and Notice #97, “Supplementary Reinstatement of
VAT for Fertilizer Products”, which restore the VAT of 13% of
the gross sales price on certain fertilizer products includes
non-organic fertilizer products starting from September 1, 2015,
but granted taxpayers a reduced rate of 3% from September 1, 2015
through June 30, 2016.
On
April 28, 2017, the PRC State of Administration of Taxation (SAT)
released Notice 2017 #37, “Notice on Policy of Reduced Value
Added Tax Rate,” under which, effective July 1, 2017, all of
the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the
PRC are subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 11% of the
gross sales price. The tax rate was reduced 2% from 13%.
On
April 4, 2018, the PRC State of Administration of Taxation (SAT)
released Notice 2018 #32, “Notice on Adjustment of VAT Tax
Rate,” under which, effective May 1, 2018, all of the Company’s
fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC are
subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 10% of the gross
sales price. The tax rate was reduced 1% from 11%.
On March 20, 2019, the PRC State of Administration of Taxation
(SAT) released Notice 2019 #39, “Announcement on Policies
Concerning Deepening the Reform of Value Added Tax,” under
which, effective April 1, 2019, all of the Company’s fertilizer
products that are produced and sold in the PRC are subject to a
Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 9% of the gross sales price. The
tax rate was reduced 1% from 10%.

13 – CONCENTRATIONS
Market Concentration
All
the Company’s revenue-generating operations are conducted in the
PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic
and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the
PRC’s economy.
The
Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific
considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks
associated with, among other things, the political, economic and
legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s
results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes
in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations,
anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
Vendor and Customer Concentration
There were only one vendor from which the Company purchased more
than 10% of its raw materials, with the total of 10.6% of its raw
materials for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Total
purchases from this vendor are $1,859,830 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2019.
There
were four vendors from each of which the Company purchased more
than 10% of its raw materials, with the total of 47.6% of its raw
materials for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Total
purchases from these four vendors amounted to $26,676,809 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2018.
No customer accounted for over 10% of the Company’s sales for the
three months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
NOTE
14 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is organized into four main business segments, based on
location and product: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng
(fertilizer production), Yuxing (agricultural products production)
and the sales VIEs. Each of the four operating segments referenced
above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief
operating decision maker (“CODM”) receives financial information,
including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income
produced from the various general ledger systems to make decisions
about allocating resources and assessing performance; however, the
principal measure of segment profitability or loss used by the CODM
is net income by segment.

NOTE
16 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In
accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of
variable interest entities, VIEs are generally entities that lack
sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional
financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack
adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which a company is
involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of
the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is
required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting
purposes.
Green
Nevada through one of its subsidiaries, Jinong, entered into a
series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Yuxing for it to
qualify as a VIE, effective June 16, 2013.
The
Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that
Yuxing is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Jinong, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities
of Yuxing, thereby enabling the Company, through Jinong, to receive
a majority of Yuxing expected residual returns.
On
June 30, 2016 and January 1, 2017, the Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Jinong, entered into strategic acquisition
agreements and also into a series of contractual agreements to
qualify as VIEs with the shareholders of the sales VIE
Companies.
Jinong,
the sales VIE Companies, and the shareholders of the sales VIE
Companies also entered into a series of contractual agreements for
the sales VIE Companies to qualify as VIEs (the “VIE
Agreements”).
On
November 30, 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Jinong, exited the VIE agreements with the shareholders of
Zhenbai.
As a
result of these contractual arrangements, with Yuxing and the sales
VIE Companies the Company is entitled to substantially all of the
economic benefits of Yuxing and the VIE Companies. The following
financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

the sales VIE companies does not violate PRC law. The consideration
for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties
and memorialized in the future by definitive agreements setting
forth the kind and value of such consideration. Jinong may transfer
all rights and obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreements to
any third parties without the approval of the shareholders of the

Jinong. They will not solicit or interfere with any of the Jinong’s
customers, or solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any person
engaged or employed by Jinong to terminate his or her service or
engagement. If the shareholders of the sales VIE companies breach
the non-compete obligations contained therein, Jinong is entitled
to all loss and damages; if the damages are difficult to determine,
remedies bore the shareholders of the sales VIE companies shall be

NOTE
18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 9, 2019, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and
certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the
District of Nevada (the “Nevada Federal Court”) by Plaintiff Glenn
Little. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty and
shareholder oppression. The Company believes the action is without
merit and intends to vigorously oppose it.
Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and
analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve
significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors,
such as the slow-down of the macro-economic environment in China
and its impact on economic growth in general, the competition in
the fertilizer industry and the impact of such competition on
pricing, revenues and margins, the weather conditions in the areas
where our customers are based, the cost of attracting and retaining
highly skilled personnel, the prospects for future acquisitions,
and the factors set forth elsewhere in this report, our actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and
uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements contained in this report will in fact occur. You should
not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements
contained in this report.
The
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they
are made, and, except to the extent required by U.S. federal
securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. Further, the information
about our intentions contained in this report is a statement of our
intention as of the date of this report and is based upon, among
other things, the existing regulatory environment, industry
conditions, market conditions and prices, and our assumptions as of
such date. We may change our intentions, at any time and
without notice, based upon any changes in such factors, in our
assumptions or otherwise.

Overview
We
are engaged in research, development, production and sale of
various types of fertilizers and agricultural products in the PRC
through our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Jinong and Gufeng
(including Gufeng’s subsidiary Tianjuyuan), and our VIE, Yuxing.
Our primary business is fertilizer products, specifically
humic-acid based compound fertilizer produced by Jinong and
compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound
fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, highly-concentrated
water-soluble fertilizer and mixed organic-inorganic compound
fertilizer produced by Gufeng. In addition, through Yuxing, we
develop and produce various agricultural products, such as
top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings. For
financial reporting purposes, our operations are organized into
three business segments: fertilizer products (Jinong), fertilizer
products (Gufeng) and agricultural products production
(Yuxing).
The fertilizer business conducted by Jinong and Gufeng generated
approximately 69.6% and 69.0% of our total revenues for the three
months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The sales
VIEs generated 25.4% and 26.9% of our revenues for the three months
Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Yuxing serves as a
research and development base for our fertilizer products.
Fertilizer
Products
As of
September 30, 2019, we had developed and produced a total of 730
different fertilizer products in use, of which 145 were developed
and produced by Jinong, 334 by Gufeng, and 251 by the VIE
Companies.

For
the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold approximately
71,704 tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 67,851 metric
tons for the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the three
months ended September 30, 2019, Jinong sold approximately 18,623
metric tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 18,605 metric

months ended September 30, 2019, Gufeng sold approximately 52,451
metric tons of fertilizer products, as compared to 49,247 metric
tons for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Our
sales of fertilizer products to customers in five provinces within
China accounted for approximately 56.7% of our fertilizer revenue

provinces and their respective percentage contributing to our
fertilizer revenues were: Hebei (25.9%), Heilongjiang (10.9%),
Inner Mongolia (9.0%), Liaoning (6.8%) and Shaanxi
(4.1%).
As of September 30, 2019, we had a total of 2,063 distributors
covering 22 provinces, 4 autonomous regions and 4 central
government-controlled municipalities in China. Jinong had 1,239
distributors in China. Jinong’s sales are not dependent on any
single distributor or any group of distributors. Jinong’s top five
distributors accounted for 3.39% of its fertilizer revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2019. Gufeng had 326 distributors,
including some large state-owned enterprises. Gufeng’s top five
distributors accounted for 83.8% of its revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 2019.
Agricultural
Products
Through
Yuxing, we develop, produce and sell high-quality flowers, green
vegetables and fruits to local marketplaces and various
horticulture and planting companies. We also use certain of
Yuxing’s greenhouse facilities to conduct research and development
activities for our fertilizer products. The three PRC provinces and
municipalities that accounted for 80.8% of our agricultural
products revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were
Shaanxi (71.3%), Sichuan (4.9%), and Gansu (4.6%).

China. |
Pursuant
to the SAA and the ACN, the shareholders of the Targets, while
retaining possession of the equity interests and continuing to be
the legal owners of such interests, agreed to pledge and entrust
all of their equity interests, including the proceeds thereof but
excluding any claims or encumbrances, and the operations and
management of its business to Jinong, in exchange of an aggregate
amount of RMB45,000,000 (approximately $6,291,000) to be paid by
Jinong within three days following the execution of the SAA, ACN
and the VIE Agreements, and convertible notes with an aggregate
face value of RMB 63,000,000 (approximately $8,807,400) with an
annual fixed compound interest rate of 3% and term of three
years.
Jinong
acquired the Targets using the VIE arrangement based on our need to
further develop our business and comply with the regulatory
requirements under the PRC laws.
As
our business focuses on the production of fertilizer, all our
business activities intertwine with those in the agriculture
industry in China. Specifically, we deal with compliance,
regulation, safety, inspection, and licenses in fertilizer
production, farm land use and transfer, growing and distribution of
agriculture goods, agriculture basic supplies, seeds, pesticides,
and trades of grains. It is an industry in which heavy regulations
get implemented and strictly enforced. In addition, E-commerce,
which is also under strict government regulation in the PRC, has
lately become a sales and distribution channel for agricultural
products. Currently, we are developing an online platform to
connect the physical distribution network we either own or
lease.
Compared
with the regulatory environment in other jurisdictions, the
regulatory environment in the PRC is unique. For example, the
“M&A Rules” purports to require that an offshore special
purpose vehicle controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies
or individuals and formed for purposes of overseas listing through
acquisition of PRC domestic interests held by such PRC companies or
individuals obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory
Commission (the “CSRC”) prior to the listing and trading of such
special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.
On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published procedures regarding its
approval of overseas listings by special purpose
vehicles.
For
both e-commerce and agriculture industries, PRC regulators limit
the investment from foreign entities and set particularly rules for
foreign-owned entities to conduct business. We expect these
limitations on foreign-owned entities will continue to exist in
e-commerce and agriculture industries. The VIE arrangement,
however, provides feasibility for obtaining administrative approval
process and avoiding industry restrictions that can be imposed on
an entity that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a foreign entity.
The VIE agreements reduce uncertainty and the current limitation
risk. It is our understanding that the VIE agreements, as well as
the control we obtained through VIE arrangement, are valid and
enforceable. Such legal structure does not violate the known,
published, and current PRC laws. While there are substantial
uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC
Laws and future PRC laws and regulations, and there can be no
assurance that the PRC authorities will take a view that is not
contrary to or otherwise different from our belief and
understanding stated above, we believe the substantial difficulty
that we experienced previously to conduct business in agriculture
as a foreign ownership can be greatly reduced by the VIE
arrangement. Further, as an integral part of the VIE arrangement,
the underlying equity pledge agreements provide legal protection
for the control we obtained. Pursuant to the equity pledge
agreements, we have completed the equity pledge processes with the
Targets to ensure the complete control of the interests in the
Targets. The shareholders of the Targets are not entitled to
transfer any shares to a third party under the exclusive option
agreements. If necessary, they may transfer shares to our company
without consideration.
While
the VIE arrangement provides us with the feasibility to conduct our
business in the E-Commerce and agriculture industries, validity and
enforceability of VIE arrangement is subject to (i) any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) possible judicial or administrative actions or any PRC Laws
affecting creditors’ rights, (iii) certain equitable, legal or
statutory principles affecting the validity and enforceability of
contractual rights generally under concepts of public interest,
interests of the State, national security, reasonableness, good
faith and fair dealing, and applicable statutes of limitation; (iv)
any circumstance in connection with formulation, execution or
implementation of any legal documents that would be deemed
materially mistaken, clearly unconscionable, fraudulent, coercive
at the conclusions thereof; and (v) judicial discretion with
respect to the availability of indemnifications, remedies or
defenses, the calculation of damages, the entitlement to attorney’s
fees and other costs, and the waiver of immunity from jurisdiction
of any court or from legal process. Validity and enforceability of
VIE arrangement is also subject to risk derived from the discretion
of any competent PRC legislative, administrative or judicial bodies
in exercising their authority in the PRC. As a result, there can no
assurance that any of such PRC Laws will not be changed, amended or
replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or
without retrospective effect.

Discussion
of Segment Profitability Measures
As of
September 30, 2019, we were engaged in the following businesses:
the production and sale of fertilizers through Jinong and Gufeng,
the production and sale of high-quality agricultural products by
Yuxing, and the sales of agriculture materials by the sales VIEs.
For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into
four main business segments based on locations and products: Jinong
(fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and Yuxing
(agricultural products production) and the sales VIEs. Each of the
segments has its own annual budget about development, production
and sales.
Each
of the four operating segments referenced above has separate and
distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”) makes decisions with respect to resources allocation and
performance assessment upon receiving financial information,
including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income
produced from the various general ledger systems; however, net
income by segment is the principal benchmark to measure profit or
loss adopted by the CODM.
For Jinong, the net income decreased by $5,375,915, or 91.1%, to
$524,101 for three months ended September 30, 2019, from $5,900,016
for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was
principally due to the increase in general and administrative
expense.
For Gufeng, the net income decreased by $12,632,298, or 1,127.5%,
to $(11,511,954) for three months ended September 30, 2019 from
$1,120,344 for three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease
was principally due to the increase in general and administrative
expense.
For Yuxing, the net income decreased $38,623, or 20.1%, to $154,555
for three months ended September 30, 2019 from $193,178 for three
months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the
increase in general and administrative expense.
For the sales VIEs, the net income was $3,868,490 for period ended
September 30, 2019, increased by $ 1,488,855, or 62.6%, from $
2,379,635 for three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase
was mainly due to the decrease in general and administrative
expenses for the sales VIEs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations,
borrowings from local commercial banks and net proceeds of
offerings of our securities.
As of
September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $82,953,941, an
increase of $10,694,137, or 14.8%, from $72,259,804 as of June 30,
2019.
We intend to use some of the remaining net proceeds from our
securities offerings, as well as other working capital if required,
to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete
Yuxing’s new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products located
on 88 acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an
city. Yuxing purchased a set of agricultural products testing
equipment for the year of 2016. We believe that we have sufficient
cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to
support our business growth for the next twelve months to the
extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or
expansions. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not
meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek
additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary spending,
which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we
may seek additional financing as necessary for expansion purposes
and when we believe market conditions are most advantageous, which
may include additional debt and/or equity financings. There can be
no assurance that any additional financing will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in
dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may
include restrictive covenants.

Operating
Activities
Net cash provided in operating activities was $3,079,634 for the

63.8%, from cash provided by operating activities of $8,518,839 for
the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly
due to a decrease in accounts receivable, decrease in advances to
suppliers and decrease in net income during the three months ended
September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 was $18,596, compared to cash used in investing
activities of $31,273 for the three months ended September 30,
2018. The different was due to Company purchased less plant,
property and equipment during the last three months compared to the
same period last year.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 was $10,731,600, compared to $191,056 net cash
used in financing activities for the three months ended September
30, 2018, which was largely attribute to $10,252,000 proceeds from
the sale of common stock for the three months ended September 30,

Accounts
Receivable
We had accounts receivable of $138,984,949 as of September 30,
2019, as compared to $145,190,160 as of June 30, 2019, a decrease
of $6,205,211, or 4.3%. The decrease was primarily attributable to
Gufeng’s accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2019, Gufeng’s
accounts receivable was $72,717,257, a decrease of $12,714,906, or
14.9%, compared to $85,432,163 as of June 30, 2019.
Allowance for doubtful accounts in accounts receivable for the
three months ended September 30, 2019 was $27,993,503, a decrease
of $5,521,907, or 16.5%, from $33,515,410 as of June 30, 2019. And
the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts
receivable was 16.8% as of September 30, 2019 and 18.8% as of June
30, 2019.
Deferred
assets
We
had no deferred assets as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
During the three months, we assisted the distributors in certain
marketing efforts and developing standard stores to expand our
competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor
agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain
marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three
years if the distributors are actively selling our products. If a
distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us
earlier than the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the
amount owed by the distributor is payable to us
immediately. The deferred assets had been fully amortized as
of September 30, 2019.
Inventories
We
had inventories of $146,848,526 as of September 30, 2019, as
compared to $162,013,889 as of June 30, 2019, a decrease of
$15,165,363, or 9.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to
Gufeng’s inventory. As of September 30, 2019, Gufeng’s inventory
was $125,956,806, compared to $141,210,160 as of June 30, 2019, a
decrease of $15,253,354, or 10.8%.
Advances
to Suppliers
We had advances to suppliers of $29,136,516 as of September 30,
2019 as compared to $32,713,817 as of June 30, 2019, representing a
decrease of $3,577,301, or 10.9%. Our inventory level may fluctuate
from time to time, depending how quickly the raw material is
consumed and replenished during the production process, and how
soon the finished goods are sold. The replenishment of raw material
relies on management’s estimate of numerous factors, including
but not limited to, the raw materials future price, and spot price
along with its volatility, as well as the seasonal demand and
future price of finished fertilizer products. Such estimate may not
be accurate, and the purchase decision of raw materials based on
the estimate can cause excessive inventories in times of slow sales
and insufficient inventories in peak times.
Accounts
Payable
We had accounts payable of $17,349,392 as of September 30, 2019 as
compared to $19,004,548 as of June 30, 2019, representing a
decrease of $1,655,156, or 8.7%. The decrease was primarily due to
the decrease of accounts payable for VIEs. They have accounts
payable of $15,634,763 as of September 30, 2019 as compared to
$17,073,229 as of June 30, 2019, representing a decrease of
$1,438,466, or 8.4%.

We had customer deposits of $6,164,137 as of September 30, 2019 as
compared to $6,514,619 as of June 30, 2019, representing a decrease
of $350,482, or 5.4%. The decrease was mainly attributable to
Jinong’s $1,432,745 unearned revenue as of September 30, 2019,
compared to $1,589,158 unearned revenue as of June 30, 2019,
decreased $156,413, or 9.8%, caused by the advance deposits made by
clients. This decrease was due to seasonal fluctuation and we
expect to deliver products to our customers during the next three
months at which time we will recognize the revenue.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do
not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect
the selection and application of accounting policies which require
management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2
to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis of Presentation
and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that
the following paragraphs reflect the most critical accounting
policies that currently affect our financial condition and results
of operations:
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these
estimates using the best information available at the time the
estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.
Revenue
recognition
Sales
revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a
formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the
delivery is completed, we have no other significant obligations and
collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all
of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are
recorded as unearned revenue.
Our
revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added
tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as
products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not
returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after
products are delivered.
Cash
and cash equivalents
For
statement of cash flows purposes, we consider all cash on hand and
in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts
receivable
Our
policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on
accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts
receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer
concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends
and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy
of these reserves. Any accounts receivable of Jinong and Gufeng
that are outstanding for more than 180 days will be accounted as
allowance for bad debts, and any accounts receivable of Yuxing that
are outstanding for more than 90 days will be accounted as
allowance for bad debts.
Deferred
assets
Deferred
assets represent amounts the Company advanced to the distributors
in their marketing and stores development to expand our competitive
advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor
agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain
marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three
years if the distributors are actively selling our products. If a
distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us
earlier than the realization of the contractual terms, the
unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor is to be
refunded to us immediately. The deferred assets had been fully
amortized as of September 30, 2019.
Segment
reporting
FASB
ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment
reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a
company’s management organizes segments within the company for
making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable
segments are based on products and services, geography, legal
structure, management structure, or any other way management
disaggregates a company.
As of
September 30, 2019, we were organized into ten main business units:
Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer
production), Yuxing (agricultural products production), Lishijie
(agriculture sales), Jinyangguang (agriculture sales), Wangtian
(agriculture sales), Xindeguo (agriculture sales), Xinyulei
(agriculture sales), Fengnong (agriculture sales) and Xiangrong
(agriculture sales). For financial reporting purpose, our
operations were organized into four main business segments based on
locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng
(fertilizer production) and Yuxing (agricultural products
production) and the sales VIEs. Each of the segments has its own
annual budget regarding development, production and
sales.
Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Disclosures
About Market Risk
We
may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the
normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the
risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest
rates and equity prices. We currently do not, in the normal course
of business, use financial instruments that are subject to changes
in financial market conditions.
Currency
Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
Substantially
all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However,
we use the U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion
of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of
China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the
PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of
RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not
again become volatile or that RMB will not devalue significantly
against U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely
affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and
income derived from our operations in the PRC.
Our
reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Except for U.S. holding
companies, all of our consolidated revenues, consolidated costs and
expenses, and our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we
are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of
operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate
between the U.S. dollars and RMB. If RMB depreciates against the
U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as
expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline.
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of
the balance sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated at
the average exchange rates, and shareholders’ equity is translated
at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments
are not included in determining net income but are included in
determining other comprehensive income, a component of
shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2019, our accumulated
other comprehensive loss was $37 million. We have not entered into
any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to
foreign exchange risk. The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar
and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in
PRC’s political and economic conditions. Between July 1, 2019 and
September 30, 2019, China’s currency dropped by a cumulative 4.2%
against the U.S. dollar, making Chinese exports cheaper and imports
into China more expensive by that percentage. The effect on trade
can be substantial. Moreover, it is possible that in the future,
the PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the
RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange
market.
Interest
Rate Risk
We
deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. We
do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of our
outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. The
amount of short-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and
June 30, 2019 was $3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. We
are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our
short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based
on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans, are
fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to
twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are
subject to change upon renewal. There was no material change in
interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three
months ended September 30, 2019. The original loan term on average
is one year, and the remaining average life of the short term-loans
is approximately nine months.
Management
monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash
requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances
relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any
hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to
interest rate risk.
Credit
Risk
We
have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our
customers are long-term customers with superior payment records.
Our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit
managers.
Inflation
Risk
Inflationary
factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead
costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do
not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of
inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability
to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the
selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased
costs.
