ITEM
1. BUSINESS
Corporate
Structure
We are a holding
company. Our business operations are conducted in the People’s
Republic of China (“PRC”) by two subsidiaries:
|
SenYu:
|
Heilongjiang
SenYu Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., a corporation organized in the
PRC. We own 100% of the equity in
SenYu.
|
|
Sino-Canadian
JV:
|
Sino-Canadian
Senyu-Polar Swine Genetics Company Limited, a joint venture company
organized in the PRC. We own 60% of the equity in Sino Canadian
JV.
|
SenYu and Sino-Canadian JV engage in
the business of breeding and raising hogs and piglets, then distributing them to
slaughter facilities and pork distributors in the PRC. Our objective is to
establish ourselves as a leading producer and distributor of commercial hogs and
piglets in the PRC.
SenYu
Heilongjiang
SenYu Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. (“SenYu”) was founded in September 2004 under
the laws of the PRC with registered capital of 80 million RMB (US$11.7
million). SenYu has been registered with the government of China as a
wholly foreign owned enterprise since early 2008, when Advanced Swine Genetics,
Inc., a Nevada corporation, acquired ownership of SenYu’s registered
capital. China Swine Genetics, Inc. acquired ownership of
Advanced Swine Genetics, Inc. in August 2009. SenYu’s executive
offices and manufacturing facility are located at 78-2 Song Lin Street,
Xiangyang District, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, in northeastern
China.
SenYu
engages in the business of breeding and raising commercial hogs and piglets,
then distributing them to slaughter facilities and pork distributors in the
PRC. Since commencing operations near the end of 2004, Senyu has
developed into one of the largest providers of breeding swine and commercial
hogs in Heilongjiang Province. As a result of SenYu's
dedication to the use of leading-edge technology, the Livestock Bureau of
Heilongjiang Province designated SenYu's Jiamusi City facility as the Breeding
Swine Research Center for Heilongjiang Province.
SenYu has
quickly moved to a leading position in its industry by integrating in its
operations the complete pork supply chain - up to the door of the slaughter
house. SenYu leverages its financial resources to control the
production of hogs on myriad farms while allocating the risks of hog production
among several affiliates and its farmer franchisees. Specifically,
SenYu controls each phase of pre-slaughter pork production in this
manner:
|
·
|
SenYu
breeds and raises high quality breeding sows on its own
facilities.
|
|
·
|
SenYu
sells the sows at cost to a network of farmer
franchisees.
|
|
·
|
Under
the direction of an affiliate of SenYu, the farmer franchisees breed the
sows’ piglets and raise the piglets until they are marketable as
hogs.
|
|
·
|
Through
a second affiliate, SenYu indirectly finances the farmers’ operations by
providing fodder on credit, as well as the equipment and techniques for
artificial insemination.
|
|
·
|
When
the piglets mature, SenYu purchases them at a pre-determined price, if
they meet SenYu’s quality control
standards.
|
|
·
|
SenYu
then distributes the mature hogs to slaughter facilities, pork
distributors, and other customers throughout the
PRC.
|
Our
business began in December 2004, when we imported 400 GGP breeding swine from
Dutch Topigs International Breeding Company. We initially developed
our “Topigs Project” in a land area of 51,000 square meters in Jiamusi City,
Heilongjiang Province. Dutch Topigs provided us not only the GGP breeding swine,
but also full technological support, thus enabling us to initiate operations at
the same technological level customary to Europe and North
America. Dutch Topigs’ technological support covered all
aspects of a modern pig farm, including the production design of the farm, barn
standardization, facility modernization, digital management and
zoology. Through this vehicle we established our nucleus herd with
the most advanced process flow available at that time. After three years of
purebred selection, we successfully bred our own “Senyu Series” swine. “Senyu
Series” swine products currently include a grandparent herd, a parent herd and
our full commercial herd.
Currently
our company has three pig breeding farms with an annual output of 50,000
breeding pigs. To supplement the supply of hogs from our franchisee
farmers, we also operate ten pig production bases, with an annual output of
280,000 commercial hogs. Facing the rigorous challenge of the current market, we
continuously explore new technologies and develop our management model. As a
result, SenYu has achieved high repute in its industry. Our company
has passed the audit of National ISO9001 Quality Control System, and achieved a
series of honorary titles such as “Production Area of Pollution-free
Agricultural Product,” “Key Dragon-head Enterprise of Agriculture
Industrialization in Jiamusi City,” “Heilongjiang Provincial Private Science and
Technology Enterprise,” “Heilongjiang Provincial Top 100 Enterprise,” “Advanced
Unit of Project Construction” and “Three-Star Enterprise of Food Security and
Good Faith in Jiamusi City.”
Sino-Canadian
JV
In 2006,
to expand our breeding swine business, we formed a joint venture with Polar
Genetics, Inc., a Canadian company that focuses on supplying superior quality
Canadian breeding swine, semen and artificial insemination equipment, supplies
and technology to swine producers. The joint venture was formally organized in
the PRC under the name "Sino-Canadian Senyu-Polar
Swine Genetics Company Limited” (“Sino-Canadian
JV”). Sino-Canadian was organized with registered capital of 16.7
million RMB. SenYu contributed 10 million RMB (US$1.46 million) in
cash in exchange for 60% of the equity. Polar Genetics agreed to
contribute 600 Canadian Elite GGP Purebred Breeding Pigs, valued at 6.7 million
RMB, in exchange for the remaining 40%. The joint venture’s
mission is to supply swine producers with products and services that will
improve their long-term production capabilities, efficiencies and financial
returns.
Sino-Canadian
J.V. is located in Heijinhe Township, Tangyuan County, Jiamusi City,
Heilongjiang Province. Its facility includes a land area of 300,000
square meters and farm construction area of 15,000 square meters. The research
and development function of Sino-Canadian J.V. is dedicated to the improvement
of our breeding technology goal, in order to quicken the pace of genetic
improvement in our herds. Besides supplying us with superior Canadian breeding
stock, Polar Genetics Inc. also provided advanced swine artificial insemination
(A.I.) technology, facilities, and A.I. boar semen. On October 12,
2007, the company imported 628 Canadian elite purebred breeding pigs, including
Duroc, Landrace, Yorkshire and Lacombe breeds selected by Polar Genetics Inc.
The breeding and selection program of the Sino-Canadian JV pig breeding centre
is supported by swine experts from Polar Genetics Inc., using the most advanced
technology of breeding and selection under the guidance of the Canadian Centre
for Swine Improvement (CCSI). All breeding and selection data on evaluation will
be managed by CCSI through its E-Farm software.
The business model for Sino-Canadian JV
is the same as that implemented by Senyu. On February 15, 2009, Sino-Canadian JV
entered into the Breeding Swine Sales Contract with Golden Lotus, as discussed
below, to sell the Canadian-line breeding swine to SenYu’s franchisee farmers.
In March, 2008, Sino-Canadian JV entered into a Fodder Purchase Contract with
WangDa, also as discussed below. The dual programs of SenYu and
Sino-Canadian J.V., aimed at optimization of the Dutch and the Canadian breeding
stock, give us multiple opportunities to achieve the highest quality swine
available in China. Specifically, the hogs produced from our breeding
swine typically have the following advantages over hogs common to
China:
|
·
|
Higher
rate of survival of diseases;
|
|
·
|
Higher
pregnancy rate and birth rate, and a higher number of weaned
piglets;
|
|
·
|
Higher
adaptability to the weather and circumstances of northern China, where our
base and farmers are located;
|
Business
Affiliates
SenYu’s
business model combines the production resources of SenYu’s own breeding bases
with those of its farmer franchisees in order to maximize the return on capital
realized by all parties. SenYu sells breeding swine to its franchisee
farmers under Senyu’s brand name, repurchases from the franchisee farmers the
adult commercial hogs that meet the SenYu criteria, and sell the mature
commercial hogs to the slaughter house. In this manner, SenYu distributes to its
affiliates the preponderance of risk involved in the pork production process,
while retaining the majority of the profits. SenYu is licensed as a swine
breeder, but leverages its business relationships and franchise business model
to generate substantial revenues while inoculating itself from overproduction
and missed market opportunities.
SenYu’s
business plan has been implemented through the establishment of contractual
relationship among SenYu and three other parties:
|
·
|
a
Cooperation Agreement between Senyu and Heilongjiang WangDa Feedstuff Co.,
Ltd. (“WangDa”) under which SenYu finances the supply of fodder by WangDa
to SenYu’s Franchise farmers;
|
|
·
|
a
Sales Agreement between Senyu and Harbin Golden Lotus Trade Co, Ltd.
(“Golden Lotus”) and a Supplemental Agreement among SenYu, Golden Lotus
and WangDa, under which Golden Lotus sells Senyu’s breeding swine to
qualified franchisee farmers; and
|
|
·
|
the
Fodder Supply and Commercial Hog Buyback Contracts between WangDa and the
franchisee farmers.
|
WangDa: Fodder
Supply and Hog Purchases
The
Cooperation Agreement between SenYu and WangDa was made effective on January 1,
2009 with an indefinite term. It is the key to the implementation of
our business plan. SenYu finances WangDa, with fixed profit margins
set by SenYu, and WangDa in turn finances the farmers, providing fodder on
credit at discount rates obtained through volume purchasing
power. WangDa also guarantees the repurchase of mature hogs that meet
SenYu’s quality standards. The franchise farmer is thus able to
operate with minimum cash outlay and achieve a higher potential
profit. In exchange, the farmer bears the preponderance of the risk
in the rearing of the hog.
The
Cooperation Agreement makes WangDa responsible for financing the supply of
fodder to the franchise farmers. SenYu, in turn, is obligated to
advance payment for the fodder to WangDa. To fulfill its supply
obligation, WangDa purchases fodder in massive bulk quantities at the best
available prices. WangDa achieves the best available prices by purchasing
futures contracts for fodder and making spot purchases when market conditions
are favorable. At the same time, WangDa’s contract with the farmers
provides for a fixed profit margin on the sale of fodder to the
farmers. These practices allow SenYu to experience relatively smooth
and predictable cash flow, which facilitates production planning and
forecasts.
WangDa enters into a Fodder Supply and
Commercial Hog Buyback Contract with each of SenYu’s franchisee
farmers. In addition to guaranteeing the supply of fodder, the
contract also provides that WangDa will purchase each mature hog produced by the
farmer that satisfies SenYu’s quality standards. WangDa is
responsible for payment to the farmer of 40% of the net profits realized on the
hog, which represents the resale price to the slaughter house less the cost of
fodder and the cost of the breeding swine delivered by SenYu to the
farmer. After the hog is delivered to the slaughter house by Senyu,
Senyu then reimburses WangDa the amount it paid the farmer for the
hog.
As of
June 30, 2009 SenYu had net advances to WangDa outstanding in the amount of
$21,733,623. WangDa will offset the advances against the market value
of the hogs that it purchases during this fiscal year from the franchise
farmers, and delivers to SenYu. The net amount of the advances will
continue to grow, however, as SenYu’s business expands.
Golden
Lotus: Sale of Breeding Swine
SenYu has
an Exclusive Sales Agreement with Golden Lotus, which was effective on December
20, 2008 and has a term of two years. The Agreement made Golden Lotus
responsible for the sale of breeding swine to qualified franchisee farmers, with
financing provided by SenYu. Golden Lotus also undertook to engage
technicians experienced in hog production to perform information collection
services for SenYu, and to provide after-sale technical support to the
franchisee farmers.
Golden
Lotus is SenYu’s exclusive sales agent in Heilongjiang Province, where all of
SenYu’s franchisee farmers are located. To maintain its
exclusivity, Golden Lotus is required to sell a minimum of 1,950 breeding swine
per quarter. Golden Lotus is permitted to fix its sales price to the
farmers based on demand. However its sales price may not exceed 120%
of the price charged to it by SenYu. If Golden Lotus is not able to
sell the minimum quarterly amount, it is required to pay a fee equal to 20% of
the unaccomplished sales, and Senyu shall has the right to sell its breeding
swine through other agents. If SenYu fails to deliver qualified
breeding swine on schedule or if Golden Lotus defaults in making timely payment
to SenYu, the agreement provides for payment of a penalty equal to 20% of the
defaulted amount.
Among
Golden Lotus’s responsibilities is the recruitment of franchisee farmers, based
on standards set by SenYu. Golden Lotus is also responsible for
processing the necessary data regarding the farmers, their requirements of
breeding swine, their productivity, and an estimate of their fodder
requirements. The data formulated by Golden Lotus is then used by
SenYu and WangDa to determine the farmers’ fodder requirements and SenYu’s
financial obligations to WangDa.
Allocation
of Risk and Profit
SenYu’s
business plan puts on SenYu the responsibility for financing all steps of the
hog supply chain. At the same time, however, SenYu is able to share
the risks inherent in the production of hogs. In the first instance,
Golden Lotus bears the risk of stagnant growth in production by guaranteeing a
minimal sales level. Then, the franchisee farmers bear the risk of
hog mortality and illness. The risk of sudden changes in the prices
of raw materials is shared between WangDa and the farmers. And the
risk of reduced wholesale prices for hogs is shared between SenYu and its
franchisee farmers. In this manner, SenYu is able to engage in large
scale hog farming with far more financial predictability than is enjoyed by pork
producers who carry their hog herds in inventory.
Although
a significant portion of the production risk is imposed on the franchisee farmer
by this program, the demand for positions within the SenYu network is
high. At most times Golden Lotus has significantly more candidates
that the number of franchises that can be financed. The reason for
the demand is the significant increase in profitability that most farmers
realize upon joining SenYu.
A pig
farmer, operating independently, allocates his working capital between breeding
stock and fodder. The farmer’s investment in fodder, however,
typically accounts for 80% of his expenses. Consequently, it is very difficult
for farmers to expand their livestock, given the limited funds remaining after
payment for fodder and other operating expenses. Association with
SenYu allows the farmer to expand his herd much more rapidly, as SenYu meets all
of the farmer’s fodder requirements in exchange for the farmer’s commitment to
purchase breeding swine only from SenYu and deliver mature hogs to SenYu at a
price discounted to market. The franchise farmer can devote a much
larger portion of his resources to the purchase of breeding swine from SenYu. By
carefully monitoring the farmer’s practices, SenYu assures itself of a supply of
high quality commercial hogs. Typically farmers who become franchises
with SenYu realize increases of up to 100% in their annual income.

Physical
Facilities and Production
SenYu
maintains the most advanced technologies and equipment in its breeding bases,
including artificial insemination equipment, farrowing beds, nursing fences,
sanitation equipment, disinfection equipment, and vaccine
equipment. As a result of SenYu's dedication to the use of
leading-edge technology, the Livestock Bureau of Heilongjiang Province
designated SenYu's Jiamusi City facility as the Breeding Swine Research Center
for Heilongjiang Province.
SenYu has
two breeding bases that are located in Jiamusi City of Heilongjiang Province in
the PRC. SenYu also has leases a 51,000 sq. meter location in Huanan
County.
The meat
and meat processing industry in the PRC is regarded by the central government of
China as a ÒkeyÓ industry. Certain participants in the
industry, including our company, receive special tax incentives and subsidies
for technological development. Both the central and provincial governments of
China have made the expansion of the pork supply a priority. Senyu,
therefore, has found local government to be ready to assist SenYu's development
as needed. In China, land is leased from the government, and SenYu
has been afforded land for expansion when required. In addition,
SenYu and Sino-Canadian J.V. currently carry three loans totaling $1,097,986
from local government agencies. To secure the loans, SenYu pledged
its property in Huanan County and Heijihe Township. The loans bear no
interest, and are payable on December 31, 2009.
Product
quality control
SenYu
strives to produce high quality products. Our production facilities
meet ISO 9001 standards, as well as a host of industry-specific quality
standards. Because we purchase in bulk under fixed supply contracts,
our cost for veterinary medicine and vaccines is lower than common in the pork
industry, enabling us to reduce the incidence of contagious disease among our
herds.
Our
agreements with our farmer franchisees require that they too comply with our
high standards for sanitation, medical care, and environmental
protection. To insure that the hogs we
purchase from our farmer franchisees meet SenYu quality standards, we enforce
four key practical requirements:
|
ü
|
SenYu
is the exclusive breeding swine provider to its
franchisees.
|
|
ü
|
Franchisees
must meet the same standards as SenYu breeding bases in every stage of
swine breeding.
|
|
ü
|
SenYu
is the exclusive fodder provider to its
franchisees.
|
|
ü
|
Franchisees
sell their adult commercial hogs exclusively to SenYu for resale under the
SenYu brand name.
|
As a
result of our attention to quality production methods, SenYu's swine delivery
survival rate is 92%, our nursing survival rate is 95%, and our adult swine
survival ratio is 98%. All of these results rank as exemplary in the
Chinese pork industry.
Intellectual
Property
The
breeding efficiency of our sows and the food quality of our hogs will determine
the profitability of our operations. With that in mind, we have
dedicated ourselves to achieving the most advanced level of swine operations in
the PRC. Central to that goal are our technologies, which
include:
|
·
|
Genetic
Measurement Technologies. We have developed a proprietary
breeding swine measurement system. Our system documents the
optimal characteristics of breeding swine, as well as measurement
parameters and variations among implements. With our genetics
evaluation software, we are capable of dynamically and accurately
measuring the breeding swine's genetic profile at any stage of the
breeding process.
|
|
·
|
Artificial
Insemination Technologies. Our artificial insemination
technologies currently permit us to achieve 500% higher fecundity than
natural insemination. This reduces the investment needed to
produce piglets, and permits us to focus our efforts on sows with optimal
production characteristics.
|
As
noted earlier, our facility has been designated by the Provincial Government as
the Breeding Swine Research Center for Heilongjiang Province. In
addition, we are currently collaborating with the Northeast Agriculture
University to build a model swine breeding base that will be used as a training
center for post-graduate students in the agricultural sciences. This
collaboration will greatly enhance our research capabilities, as the results of
the research will increase the breeds available to SenYu.
To fully
realize the benefits of our efforts, it will be necessary that the public come
to identify the SenYu brand with a superior quality of meat
product. For that reason, we have applied to register as a trademark
the Chinese characters for "SenYu " with the State Administrative Agency in
China, application number 4723673.
Environmental Regulation
Our
breeding farms are located in rural areas where there are no specific
requirements imposed on us by China’s environmental protection agencies. Fecal
wastes are treated and converted by us to fertilizers and used by farmers. We
have never been penalized by any environmental protection agencies. We therefore
do not incur any significant environmental law compliance costs. However, SenYu
is committed to protecting the environment and utilizing resources
effectively. For that reason, and with a view to the long-term
economic benefits that will inure to “green” companies, SenYu has initiated an
advanced sewage treatment project as well as a complete environmental review of
our production. Our goal is to lead the way in the development of a
standardized eco-type breeding farm.
Marketing
According to the USDA
Foreign Agricultural Service, in 2006 the population of China consumed
more pork than any other country, being responsible for over 50% of the total
worldwide consumption of pork products. As the economy of China
grows, and the Chinese population achieves higher levels of personal wealth, the
demand for meat is increasing as well.
To
achieve a significant position in the market for hogs, SenYu employs a variety
of media, including television, magazines, and a large livestock website, all
aimed at boosting the visibility and reputation of SenYu technologies and
products. In addition, to ensure the quality of the products
bearing the SenYu label, SenYu works closely with Golden Lotus, which bears most
of the responsibility for maintaining SenYu's after-sale relationship with its
farmer franchisees. SenYu provides training programs to the Golden
Lotus employees who are responsible for providing the franchisee farmers with
swine breeding technology support, periodic visits, anti-epizootic management,
and fodder recipes.
To ensure
SenYu sales performance, SenYu implements incentive policies throughout SenYu's
entire sales network, including SenYu own sales staff and the sales personnel
employed by Golden Lotus. SenYu pays year-end bonuses throughout the
network that are directly correlated to each employee's sales
performance.
Commitment
Contracts and Major Customers
SenYu
enters into forward commercial hog sales contracts with its major customers to
decrease its market risk. SenYu utilizes forward contracts to fix a base level
of revenue that it can anticipate, which facilitates
planning. Currently, the customers we entered into forward contracts
with include:
|
·
|
Beijing Ershang
Dahongmen Meat Co., Ltd. (ÒBeijing DahongmenÓ), which purchased
100,000 hogs from us in the twelve months ended September 28, 2008
and committed to purchase an additional 80,000 hogs between
September 28, 2008 and September 28, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
Beijing
Fifth Meat Factory, which committed to purchase 150,000 hogs between
August 29, 2008 to August 28, 2009.
|
During
the 2009 fiscal year, which ended on June 30, 2009, these two major customers
accounted for 94.27% of our total sales.
Competitive Advantages
Currently
in China, pork products are usually locally sourced due to the under-developed
transportation infrastructure. SenYu’s business model enables it to diversify
the locations from which its hogs are sourced, and expand its markets. With the
increasing market for high quality pork products in China, a commercial hog
producer that can assure a large supply of quality products at a competitive
price is attractive to large commercial slaughters.
The pork
industry in China is highly diversified, including a large number of
participants The challenge for a relatively new company, such as
SenYu, is to establish a reputation and the resulting relationships that will
set it apart from the mass of suppliers. The principal strengths that
SenYu brings to the competitive arena are:
|
·
|
SenYu
has the only purebred Canadian-line-swine breeding center in the
PRC.
|
|
·
|
The
“Senyu” brand name is well recognized in its major markets, and associated
with quality and food safety.
|
|
·
|
SenYu's
total quality control, from genetics to fodder to veterinary medicine for
the entire life cycle of the product, minimizes the risk of damaging
sanitation disasters.
|
|
·
|
SenYu
utilizes the most advanced technologies in swine breeding and raising at
breeding bases that carry the most advanced equipment available in
China.
|
|
·
|
SenYu
can be price competitive, because it obtains low cost fodder through its
buying contracts and because of its location in Heilongjiang, one of the
largest agriculture provinces in
China.
|
Employees
SenYu had
approximately 90 employees as of June 30, 2009, all of whom are employed on a
full-time basis. Over 80% of our employees have college
degrees.

If we are
unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business
may be materially and adversely affected.
If
the pork market in the PRC does not grow as we expect, our results of operations
and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We
believe pork products have strong growth potential in the PRC and, accordingly,
we have continuously increased our sales of breeding swine and hogs. However,
the market for pork products in the PRC has grown in recent years due to the
increased wealth of the average resident of China, which has been the result of
double-digit annual growth in the Chinese economy. Due to the
worldwide recession, the growth of the Chinese economy has slowed. If
the pork market in the PRC does not grow as we expect, our business may be
harmed, we may need to adjust our growth strategy, and our results of operation
may be adversely affected.
We
require various licenses and permits to operate our business, and the loss of or
failure to renew any or all of these licenses and permits could require us to
suspend some or all of our production or distribution operations.
In
accordance with PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various
licenses and permits in order to operate our business. We are required to comply
with applicable hygiene and food safety standards in relation to our production
processes. Our premises and transportation vehicles are subject to regular
inspections by the regulatory authorities for compliance with applicable
regulations. Failure to pass these inspections, or the loss of or failure to
renew our licenses and permits, could require us to temporarily or permanently
suspend some or all of our production or distribution operations, which could
disrupt our operations and adversely affect our revenues and
profitability.
Our
joint venture with Polar Genetics, Inc., the supplier of Canadian hogs, may be
terminated.
We have
encountered a regulatory problem with Sino-Canadian J.V., the joint venture that
we formed with Polar Genetics, Inc., a Canadian corporation. Under
our agreement, Polar Genetics contributed 600 breeding sows as its portion of
the registered capital of Sino-Canadian J.V. This contribution has
been accepted as registered capital by the local agency of MOFCOM, the agency of
the Chinese government that is responsible for corporate
regulation. The local administration of SAFE, however, has not agreed
that the registered capital of Sino-Canadian J.V. was properly
paid. As a result, we are unable to open a foreign exchange account,
which renders the joint venture unable to do business with its Canadian
member. We are currently exploring methods of resolving the
problem. It may occur, however, that we will have to terminate the
joint venture.
The
loss of senior management or key research and development personnel or our
inability to recruit additional personnel may harm our business.
We are
highly dependent on our senior management to manage our business and operations
and our key research and development personnel for the development of new
processing technologies and food products and the enhancement of our existing
products. In particular, we rely substantially on Senyu's chairman and chief
executive officer, Mr. Zhenyu Shang, and its vice charimen, Mr. Peng Cheng, to
manage our operations. We also depend on our key research personnel. In
addition, we also rely on information technology and logistics personnel for the
production, storage and shipment of our products and on marketing and sales
personnel, engineers and other personnel with technical and industry knowledge
to transport, market and sell our products. We do not maintain key man life
insurance on any of our senior management or key personnel. The loss of any one
of them, in particular Mr. Shang or Mr. Cheng, would have a material adverse
effect on our business and operations. Competition for senior management and
research and development personnel is intense and the pool of suitable
candidates is limited. We may be unable to locate a suitable replacement for any
senior management or key research and development personnel that we lose. In
addition, if any member of our senior management or key research and development
personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, they may compete with
us for customers, business partners and other key professionals and staff
members of our company.
We
compete for qualified personnel with other swine breeding companies, swine
genetics companies, food processing companies, logistics companies and research
institutions. Intense competition for these personnel could cause our
compensation costs to increase significantly, which could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations. Our future success and ability to
grow our business will depend in part on the continued service of these
individuals and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified
personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, we may be
unable to meet our business and financial goals.
Our
growth strategy may prove to be disruptive and divert management resources,
which could adversely affect our existing businesses.
Our
growth strategy includes investing approximately $15 million dollars on
expansion so as to achieve the goal of annual output of one million commercial
hogs by 2011. Twenty percent of the total investment will be from the Company's
own resources and eighty percent is planned to be raised from the capital
markets. The implementation of such strategy may involve large transactions and
present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of
management attention from existing businesses, difficulty with integrating
personnel and financial and other systems, increased expenses, including
compensation expenses resulting from newly-hired employees, assumption of
unknown liabilities and potential disputes. We also could experience financial
or other setbacks if any of our growth strategies incur problems of which we are
not presently aware.
Our
operating results may fluctuate from period to period and if we fail to meet
market expectations for a particular period, our share price may
decline.
Our
operating results have fluctuated from period to period and are likely to
continue to fluctuate as a result of a wide range of factors, including seasonal
variations in pork products consumption. Our interim financial reports may not
be indicative of our performance for the year or our future performance, and
period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful due to a number of reasons
beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our operating results will meet
the expectations of market analysts or our investors. If we fail to meet their
expectations, there may be a decline in our share price.
Our
failure to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations and
related litigation could result in significant penalties, damages and adverse
publicity for our business.
In recent
years, the government of China has become increasingly concerned with the
degradation of China’s environment that has accompanied the country’s rapid
economic growth. In the future, we expect that our operations and
properties will be subject to extensive and increasingly stringent laws and
regulations pertaining to, among other things, the discharge of materials into
the environment and the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid and
hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to protection of the environment.
Failure to comply with any laws and regulations and future changes to them may
result in significant consequences to us, including civil and criminal
penalties, liability for damages and negative publicity. We cannot
assure you that additional environmental issues will not require currently
unanticipated investigations, assessments or expenditures, or that requirements
applicable to us will not be altered in ways that will require us to incur
significant additional costs.
Risks
Relating To Our Industry
The
outbreak of animal diseases could adversely affect our operations.
An
occurrence of serious animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, or any
outbreak of other epidemics in the PRC affecting animals or humans might result
in material disruptions to our operations, material disruptions to the
operations of our customers or suppliers, a decline in the supermarket or food
retail industry or slowdown in economic growth in the PRC and surrounding
regions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and
turnover. Recently, there has been an outbreak of streptococcus suis in pigs,
principally in Sichuan Province, PRC, with a large number of cases of human
infection following contact with diseased pigs. There also have been unrelated
reports of diseased pigs in Guangdong Province, PRC. Our procurement and
production facilities are located in Henan Province, PRC and were not affected
by the streptococcus suis infection. However, there can be no assurance that our
facilities or products will not be affected by an outbreak of this disease or
similar ones in the future, or that the market for pork products in the PRC will
not decline as a result of fear of disease. In either case, our business,
results of operations and financial condition would be adversely and materially
affected.
Consumer
concerns regarding the safety and quality of food products or health concerns
could adversely affect sales of our products.
Our sales
performance could be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the
safety and quality of our products. Consumers in the PRC are increasingly
conscious of food safety and nutrition. Consumer concerns about, for example,
the safety of pork products, or about the safety of food additives used in
processed meat products, could discourage them from buying certain of our
products and cause our results of operations to suffer.
We
may be subject to substantial liability should the consumption of any of our
products cause personal injury or illness. Unlike most food processing companies
in the United States, we do not maintain product liability insurance to cover
our potential liabilities.
The sale
of food products for human consumption involves an inherent risk of injury to
consumers. Such injuries may result from tampering by unauthorized third parties
or product contamination or degeneration, including the presence of foreign
contaminants, chemical substances or other agents or residues during the various
stages of production process. We cannot assure you that consumption of our
products will not cause a health-related illness in the future, or that we will
not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters.
Even if a
product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative
publicity surrounding any assertions that our products caused personal injury or
illness could adversely affect our reputation with customers and our corporate
and brand image. Unlike most food processing companies in the United States, but
in line with industry practice in the PRC, we do not maintain product liability
insurance. Furthermore, the products manufactured from our hogs could
potentially suffer from product tampering, contamination or degeneration or be
mislabeled or otherwise damaged. Under certain circumstances, we may be required
to recall products. Even if a situation does not necessitate a product recall,
we cannot assure you that product liability claims will not be asserted against
us as a result. A product liability judgment against us or a product recall
could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and business
reputation.
Our
product and company name may be subject to counterfeiting and/or imitation,
which could have an adverse impact upon our reputation and brand image, as well
as lead to higher administrative costs.
We regard
brand positioning as one of our core competitive advantages, and intend to
position our “Senyu” brand to create the perception and image of “health,
nutrition, freshness and quality” in the minds of our customers. There have been
frequent occurrences of counterfeiting and imitation of products in the PRC in
the past. We cannot guarantee that counterfeiting or imitation of our products
will not occur in the future or that we will be able to detect it and deal with
it effectively. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation could impact
negatively upon our corporate and brand image, particularly if the counterfeit
or imitation products cause sickness, injury or death to consumers. In addition,
counterfeit or imitation products could result in a reduction in our market
share, a loss of revenues or an increase in our administrative expenses in
respect of detection or prosecution.
Risks
Relating To Conducting Business in the PRC
Substantially
all of our assets and operations are located in the PRC, and substantially all
of our revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations
and financial position are subject to a significant degree to economic,
political and legal developments in the PRC, including the following
risks:
Changes in the political and
economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on
our operations.
Our
business operations may be adversely affected by the political and economic
environment in the PRC. The PRC has operated as a socialist state since 1949 and
is controlled by the Communist Party of China. As such, the economy of the PRC
differs from the economies of most developed countries in many
respects.
In recent
years, however, the government has introduced measures aimed at creating a
“socialist market economy” and policies have been implemented to allow business
enterprises greater autonomy in their operations. Nonetheless, a substantial
portion of productive assets in the PRC are still owned by the PRC government.
Changes in the political leadership of the PRC may have a significant effect on
laws and policies related to the current economic reforms program, other
policies affecting business and the general political, economic and social
environment in the PRC, including the introduction of measures to control
inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, the imposition of
additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad, and
foreign investment. Moreover, economic reforms and growth in the PRC have been
more successful in certain provinces in the PRC than in others, and the
continuation or increases of such disparities could affect the political or
social stability in the PRC.
Although
we believe the economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the
Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development in the
PRC, the future direction of these economic reforms is uncertain and the
uncertainty may decrease the attractiveness of our company as an investment,
which may in turn materially adversely affect the price at which our stock
trades.
Governmental
control of currency conversion may affect the ability of our company to obtain
working capital from our subsidiaries located in the PRC and the value of your
investment.
The PRC
government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign
currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency outside of the PRC.
We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under our current
structure, our income is primarily derived from the operations of Heilongjiang
Senyu. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the
ability of Heilongjiang Senyu to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay
dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy its foreign currency
denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations,
payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest
payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in
foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of
Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However,
approval from appropriate government authorities is required in those cases in
which Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the
PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in
foreign currencies. The PRC government also may at its discretion restrict
access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If
the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient
foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay
dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
SenYu
is subject to restrictions on making payments to us, which could adversely
affect our cash flow and our ability to pay dividends on our capital
stock.
We are a
holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware and do not have any assets
or conduct any business operations other than our investment in our operating
subsidiary in the PRC, Heilongjiang SenYu. As a result of our holding company
structure, we will rely entirely on contractual payments or dividends from
Heilongjiang SenYu for our cash flow to fund our corporate overhead and
regulatory obligations. The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of
Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the
PRC. As a result, we may experience difficulties in completing the
administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency.
Further, as Heilongjiang SenYu has in the past, and Heilongjiang SenYu and our
other subsidiaries in the PRC may in the future, incur debt on its or their own,
the instruments governing such debt may restrict such subsidiary’s ability to
make contractual or dividend payments to any parent corporation or other
affiliated entity. If we are unable to receive all of the funds we require for
our operations through contractual or dividend arrangements with our PRC
subsidiaries, we may not have sufficient cash flow to fund our corporate
overhead and regulatory obligations in the United States and may be unable to
pay dividends on our shares of capital stock.
Risk
Relating to an Investment in Our Securities
We
have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the
foreseeable future.
We do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future
and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if
the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not
to pay, or may be unable to pay, any dividends. We intend to retain all earnings
for our company’s operations.
Our
common stock is thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near “ask”
prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise
desire to liquidate your shares.
We cannot
predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will
develop or be sustained. Our common stock has been sporadically or
“thinly-traded” on the “OTC Bulletin Board,” meaning that the number of persons
interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given
time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This situation is attributable to a
number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is
relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and
others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and
that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be
risk-adverse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours
or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become
more seasoned and viable. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the
trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may
disproportionately influence the price of our common stock in either direction.
The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event
a large number of shares of our common stock is sold on the market without
commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb
those sales without adverse impact on its share price. We cannot give you any
assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common
stock will develop or be sustained.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Result of
Operations
On
February 28, 2008 SenYu was purchased by Advanced Swine Genetics, Inc., a Nevada
corporation. We acquired Advanced Swine Genetics, Inc. in August 2009
in a transaction classified as a reverse merger for accounting
purposes. For this reason, the consolidated financial statements
included in this report with respect to the year ended June 30, 2008 include the
results of operations and cash flows of SenYu for the period from February 28,
2008 to June 30, 2008 only. For comparison purposes, however,
reference is made herein at times to the results of SenYu’s operations during
“SenYu’s 2008 fiscal year,” which refers to the full twelve month period that
ended on June 30, 2008.
SenYu
commenced operations in 2004, and has grown to be one of the leading commercial
hogs and piglets producers and distributor in northeast China. We realized
$30,435,126 in revenue during SenYu’s 2008 fiscal year, an increase of 23%
compared to the $24,715,057 that SenYu realized during the year ended June 30,
2007. In fiscal 2009, our revenues grew to $50,392,533, an increase of 66% over
SenYu’s fiscal 2008. The increase in revenues reflects our rapid
development in both production and marketing efforts.
It is in
the nature of our business that our cost of sales will rise almost in proportion
to our revenues. Since the greater portion of cost of sales is fodder
expense, the only efficiencies we are likely to achieve will occur if the price
of grain falls. During the 2009 fiscal year, the opposite occurred,
as agricultural foodstuffs increased in price, in part due to international
demand for corn products to be used for fuel. As a result, our gross
margin for fiscal year 2009 was only 17.4%, which represented a decline from the
22.8% margin we achieved in SenYu’s 2008 fiscal year. In general, we
expect that our gross margins will fall within the range from 17% to 23%
realized in fiscal 2009 and 2008, depending primarily on the market price of pig
fodder.
Our
general and administrative expenses have remained relatively stable in recent
times, rising to $619,490 in fiscal year 2009 from $458,803 during SenYu’s 2008
fiscal year. We expect, however, that our selling, general and
administrative expenses will increase in proportion to the growth of our
business activity in the coming periods. In addition, we will now
bear the ongoing expenses attributable to being a U.S. public, reporting
company.
Our
selling expenses rose dramatically in the fiscal year of 2009, to $1,700,533, as
compared to $581,994 during SenYu’s 2008 fiscal year. The increase
resulted from our expansion of selling efforts, in particular our development of
a selling network involving Golden Lotus and WangDa, and our development of a
shipping program between Jiamusi and Beijing using the services of Jiamusi
Shunlida Transporting Co., Ltd. In addition, as the net amount of our
advances to WangDa increased significantly during the year, we determined that
an allowance for the risk of default was appropriate. For that reason
we recorded an allowance of $1,003,691, representing an adjustment to account
for an accumulated bad debt allowance of 5% of the balance due to us from WangDa
at June 30, 2009.
Our total
operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2009 were
$3,323,734. While the “bad debt for advanced to suppliers” expense of
$1,003,691 should not repeat in the coming years, our selling, general and
administrative expenses can be expected to continue to rise in proportion to the
increase in our revenues, as we make expenditures aimed at capturing a sizeable
position in the Chinese meat market.
Although,
under U.S. accounting principles, we realized $4,083,386 in net pre-tax income
for the fiscal year of 2009, our taxable income as calculated under Chinese
principles was considerably higher. We are, however, enjoying an
exemption from income tax granted by the government of China to businesses
engaged in agricultural breeding of livestock. But for that
exemption, our income under Chinese accounting principles would be
taxed at the national rate of 25%.
During
the 2009 fiscal year, Sino-Canadian J.V., the joint venture in which we hold 60%
of the equity, incurred a net loss of approximately
$1,076,000. On our Statements of Operations, the 40% of that
loss allocable to our joint venture partner was attributed to “Minority
Interest” and added to our net income. In the future, if
Sino-Canadian realizes a net profit, the 40% of that gain allocable to our joint
venture partner will likewise be deducted from our net income. Our
net income for the fiscal year of 2009, after that deduction, totaled $
4,513,786.
Our
business operates primarily in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our
results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts
from RMB to Dollars will result in translation adjustments. While our net
income will be added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; the
translation adjustments will be added to a line item on our balance sheet
labeled “accumulated other comprehensive income,” since they will be more
reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than
of the success of our business. During the fiscal year ended on June 30,
2009, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add
$190,596 to our accumulated other comprehensive income. During fiscal
2008, when the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the Dollar was much more
volatile, foreign currency translation added $529,819 to our accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
After our founders made the initial
contribution of our registered capital, the growth of our business has been
funded, primarily, by the revenues resulted from our business operations and by
loans from our shareholders. As a result, at June 30, 2009, we had no long term
debts. We did, however, owe $11,024,211 to our officers, representing
funds they loaned to SenYu during our development period. Our
officers do not intend to take any significant repayment of those loans until
SenYu’s cash position is adequate to fund growth and repay the
loans.
Our working capital at June 30, 2009
totaled $9,878,972, an increase of $5,503,742 from our $4,375,230 in working
capital as of June 30, 2008. The increase was approximately equal to our net
income -$4,513,786 - for the 2009 fiscal year. In general, since we
carry only a small amount of accounts receivable, and an inventory suitable only
for sale in the current season, our working capital will tend to ebb and flow in
proportion to our net income.
Included in our June 30, 2009 working
capital was $20,654,804 recorded as advanced to our suppliers. In
order to raise good quality commercial hogs, and control the quality of feeding
materials and procedures, we entered into a cooperation agreement with our major
feedstuff supplier to provide our farmers fodder to raise their commercial hogs.
The supplier can offset the loan amount from us once it delivers the farmers’
commercial hogs to us. Primarily as a result of
our use of cash for this purpose, our operations provided us only $82,854 in
cash, despite $4,513,786 in net income during the fiscal year of
2009. While we continue to see opportunities for growth in the
Chinese pork market, we intend to continue to devote our cash resources to
expansion in this manner.
We currently have $1,097,986 in loans
payable to non-affiliates, including $805,190 due to an agency of the government
of Jiamusi and $292,796 due to an agency of the government of
TangYuan. All of the loans are interest-free and all of them are
payable on December 31, 2009. The payment date for each of these
loans has been extended in the past, as these agencies have made the loans for
the purpose of supporting our operations. We expect the loans will
again be extended, although we have not yet received a commitment in that
regard.
Our
business plan contemplates that we will invest approximately $15 million dollars
on expansion of our facilities and increase in the roster of our franchisee
farmers, in order to reach our goal of producing one million commercial hogs in
2011. Implementation of this plan will require an investment in the Company of
significant funds. Our plan is to sell a portion of our equity in order to
obtain the necessary funds. To date, however, we have received no
commitment from any source for funds.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
In
preparing our financial statements we are required to formulate working policies
regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of
those values. In our preparation of the financial statements for
2009, there were two estimates made which were (a) subject to a high degree of
uncertainty and (b) material to our results. One was our
determination, explained in Note 5 to the Financial Statements, to record an
allowance equal to 5% of net amount of our advances to suppliers. We
calculated the reserve based on our expectation that the advances would be
liquidated though operations in the ordinary course of business. The
5% reserve, therefore, represented our evaluation of the likelihood that our
operations would fail to achieve a level of productivity sufficient to permit
our supplier to liquidate the advances.
The
second material estimate that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty was
our determination to record our inventory at cost, without a
reserve. The inventory, which primarily consists of perishable swine,
is subject to the risks of disease and death, among others. We
determined, however, that the risk of mortality reducing the value of our
inventory below cost was not probable.
Impact of Accounting
Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting
pronouncements that have had a material effect on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
China
Swine Genetics, Inc. (f/k/a Apogee Robotics, Inc.) and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of China Swine Genetics, Inc. (f/k/a
Apogee Robotics, Inc.) and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The management of China Swine Genetics,
Inc. (f/k/a Apogee Robotics, Inc.) and Subsidiaries is responsible for these
financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of China Swine Genetics, Inc. (f/k/a
Apogee Robotics, Inc.) and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the
results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

CHINA
SWINE GENETICS, INC. (F/K/A APOGEE ROBOTICS, INC. ) AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
1.
|
ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
|
China
Swine Genetics Inc (f/k/a Apogee Robotics Inc) (the "Company") was founded as a
Colorado corporation on June 29, 1983 and was reinstated by Colorado on March
15, 2007. The Company's Board of Directors and shareholders approved a change of
domicile from Colorado to Delaware on December 6, 2007. In connection with the
Company's change of domicile from Colorado to Delaware, the Company's authorized
capital stock was changed to increase the authorized capital stock to
310,000,000 of which 300,000,000 are classified as common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 are classified as Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, issuable in series with such powers, designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other specific rights, and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as the Board may fix from
time to time by resolution or resolutions. For at least ten years prior to
August 13, 2009, the Company had not engaged in any business
operations.
On August
13, 2009 China Swine Genetics Inc (f/k/a Apogee Robotics Inc.) acquired all of
the outstanding capital stock of Advanced Swine Genetics, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“Advanced Swine”). In exchange for the outstanding shares of
Advanced Swine, China Swine Genetics Inc (f/k/a Apogee Robotics Inc.) issued
4,646.05933 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the
shareholders of Advanced Swine (the “Share Exchange”). Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Four Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six
and ⅔ (4,166.66) shares of China Swine Genetics Inc (f/k/a Apogee Robotics Inc.)
common stock.
As
permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, in order to better represent the
Company’s business, the Company has adopted a resolution to change the name of
the Company from Apogee Robotics, Inc. to “China Swine Genetics, Inc. on
September 9, 2009.
Advanced
Swine was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on June 29, 2007. It has
initiated no business activity. On February 28, 2008, Advanced Swine acquired
100% ownership equity of Heilongjiang Senyu Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd.
(“Senyu”). Most of Advanced Swine’s activities are conducted through its wholly
own subsidiary in PRC.
Senyu was
incorporated on September 3, 2004, under the law of Heilongjiang Jiamusi
district of People Republic of China (“PRC”). On December 20, 2007, Advanced
Swine signed a stock transfer agreement with Senyu, which contemplated that it
would acquire all the ownership interest in Senyu. The certificate of approval
for Senyu to accept foreign investment in PRC was issued on February 4, 2008 by
the Investment Promotion Bureau of Heilongjiang Province, and the updated
operation certificate of Senyu with the new shareholder’s name was issued on
February 28, 2008 by Jiamusi Administration for Industry and Commerce. As a
result, Senyu became a foreign wholly owned enterprise on February 28,
2008.
Senyu was
originally founded with registered capital of $1,208,211(equivalent to RMB10
million) on August 27, 2004 and increased its registered capital to $6,165,762
(equivalent to RMB50 million) and $9,933,896 (equivalent to RMB80 million) on
January 18 and August 29, 2006, respectively.
Senyu
remained development stage and incurred minor selling expenses and significant
general and administrative expenses prior to September, 2005. In September 2005,
Senyu accepted its first sales order of merchandise hogs and genetic boars that
rose by it, and operated its business as farmer enterprises for breeding,
feeding, and marketing the grandparent and parent generation boars, and
merchandise hogs.
In
December 2005, Senyu established a joint venture with Polar Genetics Co., Ltd.,
Canada (the “foreign partner”, a Canada corporation) called Sino-Canadian
Senyu-Polar Swine Genetics Company Limited (“Sino-Canadian”) with expected
registered capital of $2,068,368 (equivalent to RMB16.7
million). According to the joint venture agreement, Senyu and its
foreign partner are required to contribute $1,238,543 (equivalent RMB10 million)
and 600 primary genetic boars worth $829,825 (equivalent RMB6.7 million) in
order to own 60% and 40% of the joint venture, respectively. This joint venture
had been approved by Heilongjiang government on March 30, 2006, and the actual
capital $1,246,028 (equivalent RMB10 million) was contributed by Senyu on May
22, 2006. Its foreign partner did not contribute 600 primary genetic boars worth
$891,788 (equivalent RMB6.7 million) until October 12, 2007. Since China custom
did not quarantine those primary genetic boars, complete the fully inspection,
and release them to the Sino-Canadian until November 27, 2007, accordingly,
Senyu fully owned this joint venture until November 27, 2007. This joint venture
remained development stage and incurred start-up cost prior to November, 27,
2007.
a.
Fiscal year
The
fiscal year of the Company ends on June 30. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements of operations, statements of shareholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows include activities for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2009, and 2008.
b.
Principle of consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company and all entities in which
the Company has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial
statements also include the accounts of any variable interest entities in which
the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and such entities are
required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). These consolidated financial
statements include the financial statements of China Swine Genetics, Inc (f/k/a
Apogee Robotics, Inc.) and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
US GAAP. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory
accounts of some of the Company’s subsidiaries, which were prepared in
accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations
applicable to enterprises with foreign investment in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”).
Necessary adjustments were made to the Subsidiary’s statutory accounts to
conform to US GAAP to be included in these consolidated financial
statements.
3.
|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principal generally accepted in United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in the consolidated
financial statements and the accompany notes. Significant estimates in 2009 and
2008 include the estimated useful lives and fair values of the assets. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash
equivalents approximates market value.
Accounts
receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance
for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when
collection of the full amount is no longer probable. As of fiscal years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had not recorded the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of raw materials is determined
on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). Finished goods are determined on the
weighted average basis and are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and
an appropriate proportion of overhead.
e.
|
Advanced
to suppliers, net
|
Advanced
to suppliers are recognized and carried at the original amount advanced to
suppliers less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an
allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses that will be
incurred in the collection of all advances to suppliers. The estimated losses
are based on a review of the current status of the existing advance amount. The
allowances for doubtful accounts were $1,003,691 and $40,433 for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
f.
|
Property,
plant, equipment and breeding stock
|
Depreciation
of property, plant, equipment, and breeding stock is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as
follows:
|
Years
|
Land
improvements
|
10
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
Lower
of term of lease or 5 years
|
Buildings
|
10
years
|
Machinery
and equipment
|
3
years to 10 years
|
Breeding
stock
|
3
years to 5 years
|
Repairs
and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of the related
assets are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments
are capitalized.
The cost
and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are
eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements
of operations.
g. Impairment
of long-term assets
Long-lived
assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less
costs to sell.
h. Revenue
recognition
Revenues
from products sales are recorded when both title to the goods and risk of
ownership had transferred to the customer upon shipment, provided that no
significant obligations remain. Net sales reflect units shipped at selling
prices reduced by certain sales allowance.
i. Shipping costs
The
shipping and handling costs for purchased goods are allocated to cost of sales
in the accompanying statement of operations for all periods presented. Shipping
costs were $0 and $1,216 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
j. Advertising
costs
Advertising
costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating
expenses. Advertising expenses were $3.063 and $4,312 for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
k. Research,
development, and engineering costs
Research,
development, and engineering costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with
SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. Research,
development, and engineering expenses primarily include payroll, contractor
fees, and administrative expenses directly related to research and development
support.
l.
|
Fair
value of financial instruments
|
The
carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, advance to
suppliers, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, customer deposit, and other current liabilities approximate their fair
value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
instruments.
m.
|
Employee
welfare benefit
|
The
company has established an employee welfare plan in accordance with Chinese law
and regulations. The company makes annual pre-tax contributions of 14% of all
employees’ salaries. Commencing from January, 2008, per China Regulation, the
Company should recognize the welfare expenses when occurred instead of accrued.
The total expense for the above plan amounted to $13,023 and $0 for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
n. Foreign
currency translation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States
dollars. The company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The
consolidated financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end
rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, average rates of exchange for the
period for revenues, costs, and expenses, and historical capital contribution
rate of exchange for capital contribution. Net gains and losses resulting from
foreign exchange transactions are included in the statements of
operations.
The
following rates are used in translating the RMB to the U.S. Dollar presentation
disclosed in these consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008.

o. Government
grant
In 2006,
the Jiamusi P. R. China Government launched the “Farmers Comprehensive
Development Project”, and allocated government grants to encourage the
development of hog genetic quality improvement technologies. For the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company received $7,314 (equivalent to
RMB50,000) and $0 government grants under the Farmers Comprehensive Development
Project, respectively.
Income
taxes represent the tax effects of transactions from changes in current taxes
due and in deferred taxes. Deferred taxes arise from differences between the
basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities represent future tax consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled.
In
accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the business
of agricultural breeding is exempt from Value Added Tax (“VAT”). Since the
Company is a agricultural enterprise, which bred the hogs and sell them, it was
entitled to be exempt from VAT. Accordingly, the Company was not subject to VAT
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
In
addition, based upon the investment encouragement policy of Heilongjiang Jiamusi
Local government, the Company was entitled to be fully exempt from Corporation
Income Tax (“CIT”) for the first two years and a 50% reduction in CIT for the
next three years, commencing from the first profitable year after offsetting all
tax losses carried forward from the previous years. Since the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007 was the Company’s first profitable year, the Company was not
subject to CIT in Heilongjiang Jiamusi, P. R. China for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2007.
Commencing
from January 2008, per PRC tax laws and regulations, the business of
agricultural breeding of livestock was exempt from CIT. As a result, the Company
was not subject to CIT for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The
Company was not subject to federal or state income taxes in the United States,
since the Company did not have any net income in USA, and its China subsidiaries
did not declare or pay any dividend on their common stock within the past three
years, and do not foresee doing so in the foreseeable future. The
Company’s China subsidiaries intend to retain any future earnings for the
operation and expansion of the business. Any decision as to future
payment of dividends will depend on the available earnings, the capital
requirements of the Company, its general financial condition and other factors
deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors.
q. Comprehensive
income
SFAS 130,
“Reporting Comprehensive Income”, defines comprehensive income to include all
changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners and requires that the period’s comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances be disclosed. Among other disclosures, SFAS
130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other
consolidated financial statements. The Company’s only current component of
comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation
adjustment.
r. Basic
and diluted net income per share
The
Company accounts for net income per common share in accordance with SFAS 128,
“Earnings per Share” (“EPS”). SFAS 128 requires the disclosure of the
potential dilution effect of exercising or converting securities or other
contracts involving the issuance of common stock. Basic net income per share is
determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted net income per share is determined based on the
assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted
or exercised into common stock.
s.
Segment Reporting
SFAS 131,
“Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, requires
disclosure of reportable segments used by management for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are
categorized by 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 substantially all of the Company’s operations are
conducted in one industry segment, which is farmer enterprise breeding, feeding,
and marketing genetic boars and commercial hogs.
t.
Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based
compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments
that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services. The fair value of the option
issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the
fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the
value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for
performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s
performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument
is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in
capital.
u.
New accounting pronouncements
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles –
a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC
under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification
will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All
other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. Adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R), which improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with
variable interest entities. SFAS 167 addresses (1) the effects on certain
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , as a result of the elimination of
the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) concerns
about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including those in
which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always
provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a
variable interest entity. SFAS 167 shall be effective as of the beginning of
each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after
November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting
period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier
application is prohibited. Adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events , which establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. An entity should apply the requirements of SFAS 165 to
interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of
SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations
or financial position.

commercial hogs, and control the quality of feeding materials and procedures,
Senyu signed a cooperation agreement with Heilongjiang WangDa Feedstuff Co.,
Ltd. (“WangDa”), a professional feeding materials provider and a collector for
good quality commercial hogs, on October 11, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, Senyu agreed to loan money to WangDa to support WangDa’s farmers
using good quality feedstuffs to raise their commercial hogs, and then sell
those hogs to Senyu once they mature. WangDa can offset the loan amount from
Senyu once it delivered the farmers’ commercial hogs to Senyu. In order to
extend farmer- base production model and acquire significant amounts of hogs in
the near future from WangDa, Senyu loaned the amounts of $21,733,623 (equivalent
to RMB 148,445, 641) to WangDa as of June 30, 2009. Senyu adopted a bad debt
allowance at 5% and 0.5% of the principal amount that advanced to supplier for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accordingly, the

rights to secure its loans to WangDa: (1) step into WangDa’s shoes with no other
condition, and acquire all creditor’s right of WangDa from contracted farmers,
(2) If these creditor’s rights still could not satisfy the loss from Senyu, then
Senyu will have a creditor’s right on WangDa’s assets, these assets include and
not limited to the building, equipment, and working capital of
WangDa.
Senyu has

Since the
Company’s operations and assets are located in the PRC, it is subject to
considerations and risks atypical to those in the United States, including
changes in the political, economic, social, legal, and tax environments in PRC,
as well as changes inflation and interest rates. Changes in laws and regulations
concerning PRC’s purchases and sales genetic boars, and merchandise hogs could
significantly affect the Company’s future operating results and financial
position.
On
September 21, 2009, Mr. Ligang Shang, who had been serving as the sole officer
and sole director of the Company, expanded the size of the Board of Directors to
three, and the Board of Directors had elected Mr. Zhenyu Shang and Mrs. Tongyu
Zhang to serve as the members of the Board of Directors. The Board then elected
Mr. Zhenyu Shang, Mrs. Tongyu Zhang, and Ligang Shang to serve as Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operations Officer,
respectively.

IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures.
The term “disclosure controls and
procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other
procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within required time periods. “Disclosure controls and procedures”
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The
Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal
Controls.
The term “internal control over
financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a
company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have
concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
(c)
Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting.
Management
of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness
of those internal controls as of June 30, 2009, using the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control –
Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because
of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
A
material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or
combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s
ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial
data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the
course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting, we identified one material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted
of:
a. Lack of expertise in U.S accounting
principles among the personnel in our Chinese
headquarters. Our books are maintained and our financial
statements are prepared by the personnel employed at our executive offices in
the City of Jiamusi. Few of our employees have experience or
familiarity with U.S accounting principles. The lack of personnel in
our Jiamusi office who are trained in U.S. accounting principles is a weakness
because it could lead to improper classification of items and other failures to
make the entries and adjustments necessary to comply with U.S.
GAAP.
Management
is currently reviewing its staffing and their training in order to remedy the
weaknesses identified in this assessment. To date, we are not aware
of significant accounting problems resulting from these weaknesses; so we have
to weigh the cost of improvement against the benefit of strengthened
controls. However, because of the above conditions, management’s
assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were
not effective as of June 30, 2009.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.

Audit
Committee; Compensation Committee; Nominating Committee.
Due to the small size of our Board of
Directors, we have not constituted an audit committee, a compensation committee
or a nominating committee. Decisions regarding nominations to the
Board will be made by all currently-serving members of the Board. For
the same reason, we do not have an audit committee financial expert among the
members of our Board of Directors.
Code of
Ethics
The Board of Directors has not adopted
a code of ethics applicable to the Company’s executive officers. The
Board believes that the small number of individuals involved in the Company’s
management makes such a code unnecessary.
Section 16(a) Beneficial
Ownership Reporting Compliance

the officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s
common stock failed to file on a timely basis the reports required by Section
