China’s
middle class - citizens making at least 60,000 Yuan (US$8,785) - are
expected to double by 2010 to 25% of the country’s population, fueling
domestic consumption.
|
|
·
|
While
overall income grew rapidly, urban per capita disposable income grew even
faster at 9.8% from 2008 to 2009, compared to 8.5% for per capita rural
income during the same period. Urban per capita consumption of meat is
twice that of the national average.
|
|
·
|
Due
to the increasing rural migration to urban cities, China expects to double
its major cities by 2010 creating new waves of Chinese urban meat
consumers. The number of Chinese cities with over 1 million people is
projected to reach 125 by 2010 according to the Chinese Academy of
Sciences, and cities with over 2 million people are projected to reach 300
by 2020.
|
|
·
|
Domestic
demand for meat products in China is expected to grow to a projected 100
million metric tons in 2010 from an actual 72.4 million metric tons in
2004 according to Access Asia, an independent research firm. Total
production value of meat products are expected to increase to a projected
US$120 billion from an actual US$84 billion and per capita meat
consumption is expected to increase from an actual 49 kg to a projected 75
kg during the same period. Pork represents the bulk of meat products
consumed in China.
|
·
|
Currently
less than an estimated 10% of the meat consumed in China is processed.
Meat consumption out of the home has surpassed in-home meat consumption in
11 Chinese provinces, especially in more economically developed regional
markets such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen, according to the National
Bureau of Statistics.
|
·
|
Chinese
consumers have become more conscious of food safety and quality, fueling
demand for branded foods. This has become more evident after the
occurrence of a series of disease outbreaks across Asia including SARS and
the avian flu. With changing lifestyles and food quality awareness,
Chinese consumers are seeking more name brands to ensure the quality in
processed meat that they purchase.
|
|
·
|
The
new health-conscious consumer group has become more educated and concerned
with the freshness and nutritional value of various meat products. For
example, LTMP (low temperature meat product) pork has become more popular
recently as urban consumers become aware that LTMP has better nutritional
value and fresher taste than the longer-shelf-life HTMP (high temperature
meat product) pork products.

|
Structure. Agriculture
still plays an important role in Chinese economy and employment.
Agriculture still represents around 50% of the employment, which is
substantially higher than most developed
countries.
|
·
|
Capital re-investment.
Compared with more highly developed nations, there may be less
availability to Chinese firms of all types of investment capital within
China.
|
·
|
Government involvement.
China is still transitioning from a centrally planned economic model to
that of a free market. As a result, the Chinese government has
traditionally had a greater degree of regulatory involvement in the
economic affairs and conduct of firms in China, as compared with firms in
more advanced market-based
economies.
|
·
|
Allocation of
resources. Related to the above point, the Chinese government may
have greater ability to influence the allocation of capital, labor,
materials, and other resources than governments of other advanced
market-based economies.
|
·
|
Level of development.
Although China’s economy has been rapidly growing in recent years, certain
aspects such as public infrastructure, poverty rate, and other
measurements of development still lag behind highly developed nations, and
this affects how companies must conduct business in
China.
|
·
|
Control of foreign
exchange. China still maintains strict foreign exchange controls
which has been in place since 1979, although steps have been taken to
increase the exchangeability of the Chinese RMB with other
currencies.
|
·
|
Growth rate. For
several years, China’s economy has achieved consistent double digit growth
rates, and this may put strain on infrastructure, availability on raw
materials, and ability of firms to manage
growth.
|
·
|
Rate of
inflation. According
to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) compiled by the National Statistics
Bureau of China, the overall rate of inflation (CPI) in 2009 is -0.7% and
the rate of inflation for food in 2009 was 0.7% and these factors affect
the local market environment in which Chinese firms must
operate.

Settlement
Agreement
|
1)
|
Upon
execution of this settlement agreement, the investors shall order the
escrow agent to deliver the 2008 Make Good Escrow Shares to the pledgor
(i.e. founder of the Company).
|
2)
|
If
the Company complies with all of the Public Company Requirements by March
31, 2010, all of the funds currently held in the escrow account will be
released to the Company, and the liquidated damages in the amount of $1.7
million for not having the Registration Statement timely declared
effective will be waived.
|
3)
|
If
the requirement to have the S-1 declared effective is the only Public
Company Requirement not met by March 31, 2010, the investors will have the
funds in escrow, less the 1.7 million in liquidated damages, released to
the Company, and the $1.7 million shall remain in escrow and will be
released to the Company if the Company meets the May 15, 2010 extension
deadline. If the Company misses the extension deadline, then the $1.7
million will be distributed pro rata among the
investors.
|
4)
|
If
the Company fails to satisfy any of the Public Company requirements by
March 31, 2010, other than having the Registration Statement declared
effective if the extension to May 15, 2010 applies, then the investors
will have the funds in escrow, less the $1.7 million in liquidated damages
released to them, on a pro rata basis, and the $1.7 million remaining
shall remain in escrow and will be released to the Company if the Company
meets the May 15, 2010 deadline. If the Company misses the extension
deadline, then the $1.7 million will be distributed pro rata among the
investors.
|
5)
|
If
the Company fails to comply with any two of the Public Company
requirements, all of the funds in escrow will be released to the investors
on a pro rata basis.
|
6)
|
If
the Company satisfies all of the Public Company Requirements and achieves
the 2009 guaranteed after tax net income reported in 2009 Annual Report,
equal to or greater than $20,900,000 as set forth in the Make Good Escrow
Agreement, the investors’ right to countersign an escrow release notice
with respect to the release of the 2009 Make Good Escrow Shares shall be
automatically waived. The Company shall have the right, within five
calendar days from the date the Company files Form 10-K for the fiscal
year 2009, to order the escrow agent to deliver the 2009 Make Good Escrow
Shares to the founder of the Company. If the Company does not meet any one
of the Public Company Requirements and the 2009 guaranteed after tax net
income target, the Company’s right to countersign an escrow release notice
with respect to the release of the 2009 Make Good Escrow Shares shall be
automatically waived and the investors shall have the right to order
escrow agent to deliver the 2009 Make Good Escrow shares to the investors
within five days of the delivery of such
notice.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
|
ITEM
9A.
|
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
·
|
Weakness: The Company’s
board of directors has yet to pass a formal resolution to put in place a
strategic plan and framework in order to comply with the regulations
placed on issuers concerning internal
controls.
|
·
|
Weakness: The Company
accounting department is currently understaffed and lacks personnel with
expertise in US GAAP and SEC reporting
standards.
|
·
|
Weakness: The Company
does not have an internal audit function and
department.
|
·
|
Weakness: The Company’s
present methods and systems for tracking related party transactions are
inadequate. Since the corporate reorganization and separation of Chuming
from the Group occurred recently (at the end of 2007), and the Company’s
accounting system in the past was manually based, only manual records of
related party transactions are currently available. Further, the Company
notes that its current accounting staff is not sufficient in size to
undertake an exercise to completely re-summarize all of the events and
transactions that led to the current related party transaction balances
disclosed in its financial statements. Specifically, paragraph 2(c) of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 57 (SFAS 57) requires us
to disclose in our financial statements the dollar amounts of each of the
periods presented, for our related-party transactions. Due to certain
limitations in our historical records, the present capacity of our
accounting staff, and the fact that our historical records relating to
these related party transactions are manually-based, these related party
transactions have been presented according to their general category and
current balance, with each such balance representing one or more prior
transactions culminating in such
balance.
