1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Line of
Business
Yang Ling
Bodisen Biology Science and Technology Development Company Limited (“BBST”) was
founded in the People’s Republic of China on August 31, 2001. BBST, located in
Yang Ling Agricultural High-Tech Industries Demonstration Zone, is primarily
engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling pesticides and compound organic
fertilizers in the People’s Republic of China.
On
February 24, 2004, Bodisen International, Inc. (“BII”), the non-operative
holding company of BBST (accounting acquirer) consummated a merger agreement
with Stratabid.com, Inc. (legal acquirer) (“Stratabid”), a Delaware corporation,
to exchange 12,000,000 shares of Stratabid to the stockholders of BII, in which
BII merged into Bodisen Holdings, Inc. (BHI), an acquisition subsidiary of
Stratabid, with BHI being the surviving entity. As a part of the merger,
Stratabid cancelled 3,000,000 shares of its issued and outstanding stock owned
by its former president and declared a stock dividend of three shares on each
share of its common stock outstanding for all stockholders on record as of
February 27, 2004.
Stratabid
was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 14, 2000 and before the
merger, was a start- up stage Internet based commercial mortgage origination
business based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The
exchange of shares with Stratabid has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition under the purchase method of accounting because the stockholders of
BII obtained control of Stratabid. On March 1, 2004, Stratabid was renamed
Bodisen Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”). Accordingly, the merger of the two
companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of the Company, with the
Company (BII) being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial
statements presented are those of BII.
As a
result of the reverse merger transaction described above the historical
financial statements presented are those of BBST, the operating
entity.
In March
2005, Bodisen Biotech Inc. completed a $3 million convertible debenture private
placement through an institutional investor. Approximately $651,000 in
incremental and direct expenses relating to this private placement has been
amortized over the term of the convertible debenture. None of the expenses were
paid directly to the institutional investor. The net proceeds from this offering
were invested as initial start-up capital in a newly created wholly-owned
Bodisen subsidiary by the name of “Yang Ling Bodisen Agricultural Technology
Co., Ltd. (“Agricultural”). In June 2005, Agricultural completed a transaction
with Yang Ling Bodisen Biology Science and Technology Development Company
Limited (“BBST”), Bodisen Biotech, Inc.’s operating subsidiary in China, which
resulted in Agricultural owning 100% of BBST.
In June
2006, BBST created another wholly owned subsidiary in the Uygur autonomous
region of Xinjiang, China by the name of Bodisen Agriculture Material Co. Ltd.
(“Material”).
Basis of
Presentation
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Bodisen
Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly
present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of
the three months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.
Foreign Currency
Translation
The
accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the Chinese
Yuan Renminbi (RMB) and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained
in the U.S. Dollar (USD). The accounts of the Chinese
subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," with the
RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiaries. According to the
Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on
the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical
rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported
under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income”.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions
may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment
involved.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of
deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses for 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. Reserves are recorded based on the Company’s
historical collection history.
Advances to
Suppliers
The
Company advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. The advances
to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or
market. The Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value
and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if
lower.
Property & Equipment and
Capital Work In Progress
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of
property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for
substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $94,246
and $186,629 and $92,667 and $173,173, respectively.
On June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had “Capital Work in Progress”
representing the construction in progress of the Company’s manufacturing plant
amounting $10,394,027 and $17,542,626 respectively. During the six months ended
June 30, 2009, $7,143,372 was transferred from construction in progress to
property and equipment.
Marketable
Securities
Marketable
securities consist of 1,031,884 (after a 2 for 1 stock split in 2009) shares of
China Natural Gas, Inc. (traded on the NASDAQ: CHNG). This investment
is classified as available-for-sale as the Company plans to hold this investment
for the long-term. This investment is reported at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The fair
value is determined by using the securities quoted market price as obtained from
stock exchanges on which the security trades.
Investment
income, principally dividends, is recorded when earned. Realized capital gains
and losses are calculated based on the cost of securities sold, which is
determined by the "identified cost" method.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS
144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,”
and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting
the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be
disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values
are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes
that, as of June 30, 2009 there were no significant impairments of its
long-lived assets.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of Rights to use land and Fertilizers proprietary technology
rights. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an
annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows.
Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is
measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted
cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past
operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product
development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related
undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is
performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
On
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for
fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for
receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and
are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time
between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and
their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined
as follow:
|
·
|
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted)
for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to
the fair value measurement.
|
The
following table represents our assets and liabilities by level measured at fair
value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting
bulletin (SAB) 104. 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, no other significant obligations of the Company exist
and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the
relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned
revenue.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the
first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were insignificant.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS
No. 123R”), under the modified-prospective transition method on
January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and
recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. Share-based compensation
recognized under the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS
No. 123R includes share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair
value determined in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based payments granted prior to
and not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and share-based compensation based
on the grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R
for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006. SFAS
No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for the award of these
instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS
No. 123. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted
for our stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
In March
2005, Bodisen Biotech Inc. formed Agricultural. Under Chinese law, a newly
formed wholly owned subsidiary of a foreign company enjoys an income tax
exemption for the first two years and a 50% reduction of normal income tax rates
for the following 3 years. In order to extend such tax benefits, in June 2005,
Agricultural completed a transaction with BBST, which resulted in Agricultural
owning 100% of BBST.
Foreign Currency
Transactions and Comprehensive Income
Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses
be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require
entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or
loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity
section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are
components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the
Company’s Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Yuan
Renminbi. Translation gains of $8,062,096 and $8,117,004 at June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively are classified as an item of other
comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated
balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and
other comprehensive income included translation gains (loss) of $(54,908) and
$2,901,733, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings
Per Share
Earnings
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share.” SFAS No. 128 superseded
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Earnings (loss) per share
for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No.
128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption
that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or
exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under
this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning
of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained
thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period.
The
following is a reconciliation of the number of shares (denominator) used in the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement
of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based
upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and
liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree
with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Segment
Reporting
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” 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 manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS
131 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the
Company consists of one reportable business segment. All revenue is from
customers in People’s Republic of China. All of the Company’s assets are located
in People’s Republic of China.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair
Values When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” This FSP provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value
of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that
are not orderly. The FSP also amends certain disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 157 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This
pronouncement is effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2).
This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily
impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such
securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and
interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP,
impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an
entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will
be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does
not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the
entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on
which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered
other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value
versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would
be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be
recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially
apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily
impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the
period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies
the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt
security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to
accumulated other comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective
April 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially
expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were
previously required only annually to also be required for interim period
reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures
regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”) [ASC 855-10-05], which provides guidance to establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS
165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events
were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165
is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and
accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of
2009. SFAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through
the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the
SEC on August 10, 2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
(“SFAS 166”) [ASC 860], which requires entities to provide more
information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar
transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks
related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of
a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS
166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company
has not completed its assessment of the impact SFAS 166 will have on its
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”) [ASC 810-10], which modifies how a company
determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS
167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to
consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose
and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that
most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167
requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional
disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any
significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has
not completed its assessment of the impact SFAS 167 will have on its
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification™ and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”). This Standard
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the
“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized
by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. The Codification does not
change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative US GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to
a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the
effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009,
and accordingly, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
September 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference
the Codification as the sole source of authoritative
literature.

Note
10 – Statutory Common Welfare Fund
As
stipulated by the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), net
income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation
has been made for the following:
|
i.
|
Making
up cumulative prior years’ losses, if
any;
|
|
ii.
|
Allocations
to the “Statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as
determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund
amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered
capital;
|
|
iii.
|
Allocations
of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and
regulations, to the Company’s “Statutory common welfare fund”, which is
established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other
collective benefits to the Company’s employees;
and
|
|
iv.
|
Allocations
to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the stockholders’
general meeting.
|
Pursuant
to the new Corporate Law effective on January 1, 2006, there is now only one
"Statutory surplus reserve" requirement. The reserve is 10 percent of
income after tax, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital.
The
Company has appropriated $0 and $0 as reserve for the statutory surplus reserve
and welfare fund for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Note
13 – Litigation
From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that
arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is, however, subject to
inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may
arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the matters
described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or
claims that we believe would or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
In late
2006, various shareholders of our company filed eight purported class actions in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against our
company and certain of our officers and directors (among others), asserting
claims under the federal securities laws. The complaints contain allegations
about our prior financial disclosures and our internal controls and a prior,
now-terminated relationship with a financial advisor. The complaints did not
specify an amount of damages that plaintiffs seek.
The eight
actions were Stephanie Tabor vs. Bodisen, Inc., et al., Case No. 06-13220 (filed
November 2006), Fraser Laschinger vs. Bodisen, Inc., et al., Case No. 06-13254
(filed November 2006), Anthony DeSantis vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case
No. 06-13454 (filed November 2006), Yuchen Zhou vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al.,
Case No. 06-13567 (filed November 2006), William E. Cowley vs. Bodisen,
Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-13739 (filed December 2006), Ronald Stubblefield
vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-14449 (filed December 2006), Adam
Cohen vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-15179 (filed December 2006)
and Lawrence M. Cohen vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-15399 (filed
December 2006). In 2007, the Court consolidated each of the actions into a
single proceeding. On September 26, 2008, the Court entered a judgment in favor
of the Company and closed the case.
In
2007, Ji Xiang, a shareholder of China Natural Gas (and son of
its Chairman and CEO) instituted litigation in the Chinese court system in
Shaanxi province challenging the validity of our ownership of 2,063,768 shares
of China Natural Gas common stock. We obtained these shares in September 2005 in
a share transfer agreement and assert that we have fully performed our
obligations under the agreement and are entitled to own the shares. The parties
in the Chinese litigation have submitted their evidence and now await a decision
from the Chinese court. [Also, in January 2008, the same shareholder instituted
litigation in the State of Utah District Court, Salt Lake County, against
Yangling Bodisen Biotech Development Co. Ltd. and Interwest Transfer Co. (China
Natural Gas’s transfer agent) seeking to prevent us from selling our shares in
China Natural Gas. Plaintiff has obtained an order from the Utah court
provisionally preventing us from selling the China Natural Gas shares pending a
decision on the merits of the underlying dispute. In May 2009, Ji Xiang and
Yangling entered into a settlement agreement through mediation in the Supreme
Court of Shaanxi province. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Xiang Ji
agreed to withdraw the lawsuit he filed against Yangling in the State of
Utah District Court, Salt Lake County, and Yangling agreed to sell back to Ji
Xiang the 2,063,768 shares.
While
Yangling is working to resolve the dispute in accordance with the settlement
agreement, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make
certain forward-looking statements in this report. Statements concerning our
future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic
performance (including growth and earnings), demand for our services, and other
statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements
contained under the captions “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” as well as captions elsewhere
in this document, are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements
are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can”, “could,”
“may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained
in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)
and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested by these forward-looking statements. Because such statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from
those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Indeed, it is
likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual
results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the
forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in
reports and documents that we file with the SEC should be considered in
evaluating forward-looking statements.
The
nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenue,
expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the
actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The
risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters
referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual
results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
the following:
|
·
|
the
effect of political, economic, and market conditions and geopolitical
events;
|
|
·
|
legislative
and regulatory changes that affect our
business;
|
|
·
|
the
availability of funds and working
capital;
|
|
·
|
the
actions and initiatives of current and potential
competitors;
|
|
·
|
investor
sentiment; and
|
We do not
undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that
occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any
responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which
may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by any
forward-looking statements.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with
the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this
Report.
Except as
otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,”
“our,” “the Registrant”, “our Company,” or “the Company” are Bodisen Biotech,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Yang
Ling Bodisen Biology Science and Technology Development Company Limited, (“Yang
Ling”), our operating subsidiary. Unless the context otherwise requires, all
references to (i) “PRC” and “China” are to the People’s Republic of China; (ii)
“U.S. dollar,” “$” and “US$” are to United States dollars; (iii) “RMB” are to
Yuan Renminbi of China; (iv) “Securities Act” are to the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended; and (v) “Exchange Act” are to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("US GAAP"). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can
also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We
believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to
GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to
monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
We
believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact
our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant
accounting policies, as described in our condensed consolidated financial
statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in
conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. See also Note 2 to our consolidated
financial statements for further discussion of our accounting
policies.
Accounts
receivable
We
maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable and record
them primarily on a specific identification basis. In order to establish
reserves, we review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze
historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness,
current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the
adequacy of these reserves. This analysis and evaluation requires the use of
judgments and estimates. Because of the nature of the evaluation, certain of the
judgments and estimates are subject to change, which may require adjustments in
future periods.
Inventories
We value
inventories at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or
market. When evaluating our inventory, we compare the cost with the market value
and make allowance to write them down to market value, if lower. The
determination of market value requires the use of estimates and judgment by our
management.
Intangible
assets
Since
July 1, 2002, we have evaluated potential goodwill impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 142, which applied to our financial statements beginning July 1, 2002.
We evaluate intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. This evaluation
requires the use of judgments and estimates, in particular with respect to
recoverability. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets
and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related
projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of
factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market
trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset
exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired,
and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment
loss.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair
Values When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” This FSP provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value
of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that
are not orderly. The FSP also amends certain disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 157 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This
pronouncement is effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2).
This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily
impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such
securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and
interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP,
impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an
entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will
be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does
not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the
entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on
which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered
other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value
versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would
be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be
recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially
apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily
impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the
period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies
the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt
security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to
accumulated other comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective
April 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially
expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were
previously required only annually to also be required for interim period
reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures
regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures are required
beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009.
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (“FAS 165”)
[ASC 855-10-05], which provides guidance to establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FAS
165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events
were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. FAS 165
is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and
accordingly, we adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of 2009.
FAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the
date that the financial statements are issued. We have evaluated subsequent
events through the time of filing these financial statements with the SEC on
August 10, 2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
(“FAS 166”) [ASC 860], which requires entities to provide more
information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar
transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks
related to transferred financial assets. FAS 166 eliminates the concept of
a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for
derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. FAS 166
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We have not
completed its assessment of the impact FAS 166 will have on its financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R) (“FAS 167”) [ASC 810-10], which modifies how a company
determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. FAS
167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to
consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose
and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that
most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. FAS 167
requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. FAS 167 also requires additional disclosures
about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any
significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. FAS 167 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We have
not completed its assessment of the impact FAS 167 will have on its
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“FAS
168”). This Standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification™ (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities
in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The
Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify
user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative
literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as
of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009,
and accordingly, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
September 30, 2009 and all subsequent public filings will reference
the Codification as the sole source of authoritative
literature.
For
information regarding these and other recent accounting pronouncements and their
expected impact on our future financial condition or results of operations, see
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
Results
of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30,
2009 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Revenue. We
generated revenues of $1,070,493 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a
decrease of $96,042 or 8.2%, compared to $1,166,535 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to
the overall slowdown in the economy.
Gross Profit. We
achieved a gross profit of $177,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a
decrease of $265,631 or 60.0%, compared to $442,693 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was primarily
attributable to a decrease in revenue and an increase in our raw material
costs. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues), was
16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 37.9% for the three
months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable
to higher raw material costs.
Operating
expenses. We incurred net operating expenses of $468,565 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $434,461 or 48.1%, compared
to $903,026 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
our operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in our general
cost of operations due to the reduction in our revenues during the past few
years.
Aggregated
selling expenses accounted for $14,872 of our operating expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $181,048 or 92.4%, compared to
$195,920 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
our aggregated selling expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in
marketing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 we also
recognized a loss on the disposal of property and equipment of
$92,340. We had no such loss during the three months ended June 30,
2008. General and administrative expenses accounted for the remainder
of our net operating expenses of $361,353 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, a decrease of $345,753 or 48.9%, compared to $707,106 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
primarily related to a general cost of operations due to the reduction in our
revenues during the past few years.
Non Operating Income and
Expenses. We had total non-operating income of $954,115 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $118,525 or 14.2%, compared
to $835,590 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Other income
was $888,170 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $751,093 for
three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in other income is
primarily attributable to bad debt recoveries. The bad debt recoveries were
$888,737 and $766,210 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Total non-operating income includes interest income of $122 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $84,497 of interest income for
the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income
in 2009 is primarily attributable to less cash in the bank generating interest
income. Also included in non-operating income (expense) for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 is $(81,363) related to the loss on the sale of an
investment and $147,259 in equity income of another investment that we account
for under the equity method.
Net Income. For
the foregoing reasons, we had a net income of $662,612 for the three months
ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $246,169 or 59.1%, compared to $416,443 for
the three months ended June 30, 2008. We had earnings per share of
$0.04 and $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30,
2009 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
Revenue. We
generated revenues of $2,605,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an
increase of $530,474 or 25.6%, compared to $2,075,054 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to a
decrease in our products price which resulted in a large increase in our sales
volume.
Gross Profit. We
achieved a gross profit of $388,813 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a
decrease of $395,111 or 50.4%, compared to $783,924 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was primarily
attributable to an increase in our raw material costs. Gross margin
(gross profit as a percentage of revenues), was 14.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to 37.8% for the six months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher raw material
costs.
Operating
expenses. We incurred net operating expenses of $645,207 for
the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,099,422 or 63.0%, compared
to $1,744,629 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
our operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in our general
cost of operations due to the reduction in our revenues during the past few
years.
Aggregated
selling expenses accounted for $27,118 of our operating expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $351,061 or 92.8%, compared to
$378,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in our
aggregated selling expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in marketing
costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 we also recognized a
loss on the disposal of property and equipment of $104,254. We had no
such loss during the six months ended June 30, 2008. General and
administrative expenses accounted for the remainder of our net operating
expenses of $513,835 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of
$852,615 or 62.4%, compared to $1,366,450 for the six months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily
related to a general cost of operations due to the reduction in our revenues
during the past few years.
Non Operating Income and
Expenses. We had total non-operating income of $1,466,425 for
the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,637,472 or 52.8%, compared
to $3,103,897 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Other income
was $1,370,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2,963,152 for
six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in other income is
primarily attributable to the large bad debt recoveries recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2008. The bad debt recoveries were $1,372,251 and
$3,136,901 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Total non-operating income includes interest income of
$314 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $140,745 of interest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in
interest income in 2009 is primarily attributable to less cash in the bank
generating interest income. Also included in non-operating income
(expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is $(211,610) related to the
loss on the sale of two investments and $306,902 in equity income of another
investment that we account for under the equity method.
Net Income. For
the foregoing reasons, we had a net income of $1,210,031 for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $974,347 or 44.6%, compared to $2,184,378 for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. We had earnings per share of
$0.06 and $0.12 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We are
primarily a parent holding company for the operations carried out by our
indirect operating subsidiary, Yang Ling, which carries out its activities in
the People’s Republic of China. Because of our holding company
structure, our ability to meet our cash requirements apart from our financing
activities, including payment of dividends on our common stock, if any,
substantially depends upon the receipt of dividends from our subsidiaries,
particularly Yang Ling.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had $84,112 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $90,716
as of December 31, 2008. Based on past performance and current
expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from
operations will satisfy our current working capital needs, capital expenditures
and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations. However, to the
extent our allowance for bad debts in insufficient to cover our actual bad debt
experience, our liquidity would be negatively impacted.
Cash
Flows
Operating. We
used $721,762 of cash for operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to $292,531 provided by our operating activities for the six
months ended June 39, 2008. The increase in the use of cash in
operating activities is principally due to a reduction in net income and
increase in accounts receivable.
Investing. Our
investing activities generated $720,371 of cash for the six months ended June
30, 2009, compared to $22,270 of cash used in investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to
the sale of assets in 2009.
Financing. We
had no cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008.
Contractual
Commitments
In August
2006, we entered into a 30-year land-lease arrangement with the government of
the People’s Republic of China, under which we pre-paid $2,529,818 upon
execution of the contract of lease expense for the next 15 years. We agreed to
make a prepayment for the next eight years in November 2021, and will make a
final pre-payment in November 2029 for the remaining seven years. The annual
lease expense amounts to approximately $169,580. Our land-lease arrangement is
currently our only material on- and off-balance sheet expected or contractually
committed future obligation.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
currently do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements except for the
remaining pre-payments under the land-lease arrangement described
above.

4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of our Disclosure Controls
As of the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure
Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are
designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly
Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer, Bo Chen, and our Chief Financial Officer, Junyan Tong,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our
management does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be
no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions.
Based
upon their controls evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that
information required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC rules and forms.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
our first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that
arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is, however, subject to
inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may
arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the matters
described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or
claims that we believe would or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
In late
2006, various shareholders of our company filed eight purported class actions in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against our
company and certain of our officers and directors (among others), asserting
claims under the federal securities laws. The complaints contain allegations
about our prior financial disclosures and our internal controls and a prior,
now-terminated relationship with a financial advisor. The complaints did not
specify an amount of damages that plaintiffs seek.
The eight
actions were Stephanie Tabor vs. Bodisen, Inc., et al., Case No. 06-13220 (filed
November 2006), Fraser Laschinger vs. Bodisen, Inc., et al., Case No. 06-13254
(filed November 2006), Anthony DeSantis vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case
No. 06-13454 (filed November 2006), Yuchen Zhou vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al.,
Case No. 06-13567 (filed November 2006), William E. Cowley vs. Bodisen,
Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-13739 (filed December 2006), Ronald Stubblefield
vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-14449 (filed December 2006), Adam
Cohen vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-15179 (filed December 2006)
and Lawrence M. Cohen vs. Bodisen, Inc., et. al., Case No. 06-15399 (filed
December 2006). In 2007, the Court consolidated each of the actions into a
single proceeding. On September 26, 2008, the Court entered a judgment in favor
of the Company and closed the case.
In
2007, Ji Xiang, a shareholder of China Natural Gas (and son of
its Chairman and CEO) instituted litigation in the Chinese court system in
Shaanxi province challenging the validity of our ownership of 2,063,768 shares
of China Natural Gas common stock. We obtained these shares in September 2005 in
a share transfer agreement and assert that we have fully performed our
obligations under the agreement and are entitled to own the shares. The parties
in the Chinese litigation have submitted their evidence and now await a decision
from the Chinese court. [Also, in January 2008, the same shareholder instituted
litigation in the State of Utah District Court, Salt Lake County, against
Yangling Bodisen Biotech Development Co. Ltd. and Interwest Transfer Co. (China
Natural Gas’s transfer agent) seeking to prevent us from selling our shares in
China Natural Gas. Plaintiff has obtained an order from the Utah court
provisionally preventing us from selling the China Natural Gas shares pending a
decision on the merits of the underlying dispute. In May 2009, Ji Xiang and
Yangling entered into a settlement agreement through mediation in the Supreme
Court of Shaanxi province. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Xiang Ji
agreed to withdraw the lawsuit he filed against Yangling in the State of
Utah District Court, Salt Lake County, and Yangling agreed to sell back to Ji
Xiang the 2,063,768 shares.
While
Yangling is working to resolve the dispute in accordance with the settlement
agreement, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
