BODISEN
BIOTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
(UNAUDITED)
Note
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 nine months ended September 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" (codified in Financial
Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
830),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” (codified in FASB ASC Topic
220).
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts in the 2008 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
confirm with the 2009 presentation with no effect to previously reported net
income (loss).
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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was
$206,863 and $393,492 and $91,836 and $265,009, respectively.
On
September 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 $10,385,966 and $17,542,626 respectively. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $7,166,581 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. At September 30, 2009,
the fair value is determined based upon proposed repurchase price for the
shares.
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”) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 360), 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 September 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”
(codified in FASB ASC Topic 820). 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.
|
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that
are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
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 and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were insignificant.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (codified in
FASB ASC Topic 718). The Company recognizes in the statement of
operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based
compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were
536,000 options outstanding at September 30, 2009.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (codified in FASB
ASC Topic 740), 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 $8,117,263 and $8,117,004 at September
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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations
and other comprehensive income included translation gains of $259 and
$2,925,857, 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” (codified in FASB ASC
Topic 260). 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 nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement
of Cash Flows” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 230), 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” (codified in FASB ASC Topic
280) requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The
management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes
segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing
performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography,
legal structure, management structure, or any other 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
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments
based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 , “The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009-01”). ASU No. 2009-01
re-defines authoritative US GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only
comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) and,
for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC. The Codification is
a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative US GAAP for
nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC. The
Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative US
GAAP. Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing
convention of US GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In April
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP
No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. SFAS 157-4”). FSP
No. SFAS 157-4, which is codified in FASB ASC Topics 820-10-35-51 and
820-10-50-2, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value and
emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation
technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.
The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 beginning April 1, 2009.
This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which is
codified in FASB ASC Topic 320-10. 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. This FSP 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. The Company adopted FSP
No. SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 beginning April 1, 2009. This
FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which is codified in
FASB ASC Topic 825-10-50. 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 SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” codified in FASB ASC
Topic 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
No. 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 No. 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 No. 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent
events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company
has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” codified as FASB
ASC Topic 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 No. 166 eliminates the concept of a
“qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing
financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS No. 166 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does
not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 166 will have an impact 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),” codified as FASB ASC Topic 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
No. 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 No. 167
requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 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 No. 167
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company
does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have an impact on its
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

5 – Marketable Security
During
2005, the Company purchased 1,031,884 (after 2 for 1 split in 2009) shares of
China Natural Gas, Inc. (traded on the NASDAQ: CHNG) for
$2,867,346. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair
value of this investment was $3,921,159 and $6,191,304,
respectively. As a result of the change in fair value of this
investment the Company recorded an unrealized gain (loss) of $(2,270,145) and
$(6,769,159) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively; which is included in other comprehensive income
(loss). At September 30, 2009, this represented a 4.9% interest in
China Natural Gas, Inc. The CEO of China Natural Gas was a former
board member of the Company. See Note 13 for litigation regarding these
shares of common stock of China Natural Gas, Inc.
Note 6 -Other Long-term
Assets
During
2006, the Company acquired a 19.5% and a 19.8% interest in two local companies
by investing a total amount of $1,156,861 in cash. One of these
investments was sold during the first quarter of 2009 for $732,550 resulting in
a loss of $130,247 and the other was sold during the second quarter of 2009 in
exchange for inventory valued at $378,789 resulting in a loss of
$81,363.
During
2008, the Company exchanged $3,291,264 of receivables for a 28.8% ownership
interest in a Chinese company, Shanxi Jiali Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd
(“Jiali”). The Company has written down the value of this investment
by $987,860 at December 31, 2008. This investment is accounted
for under the equity method and the Company recorded equity income in this
investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of
$484,728. The Company’s 28.8% interest of Jiali’s net assets is
$3,843,639 which is $1,013,907 more than the carrying amount on the accompanying
balance sheet of $2,829,732. The difference is due to the writedown
the Company took on this investment in 2008.

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:

|
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

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 1,031,884
(2,063,768 pre stock split) 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 1,031,884 shares at a
repurchase price of $3.80 per share, for an aggregate repurchase price of
$3,921,159.
As of
October 29, 2009, the Utah court had lifted the injunction preventing us from
selling our shares in China Natural Gas and allowed for the certificate
representing the 1,031,884 shares to be transferred to Ji Xiang. The
Company is working with counsel to effect transfer of the shares through a U.S.
transfer agent in accordance with the settlement agreement among the
parties. The pending lawsuit in Utah will be dismissed immediately upon
transfer of the shares to Ji Xiang and will thereafter have no further potential
effect or impact upon the operation or financial condition of the
Company.
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;

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.

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
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. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When
the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP
No. SFAS 157-4, which is codified in FASB ASC Topics 820-10-35-51 and
820-10-50-2, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value and
emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation
technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.
The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 beginning April 1, 2009.
This FSP had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which is
codified in FASB ASC Topic 320-10. 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. This FSP 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. The Company adopted FSP
No. SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 beginning April 1, 2009. This
FSP had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which is codified in
FASB ASC Topic 825-10-50. 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 SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” codified in
FASB ASC Topic 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 No. 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 No. 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. SFAS No. 165 requires that public entities
evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are
issued. We have evaluated subsequent events through November 13,
2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” codified as FASB ASC
Topic 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 No. 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying
special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial
assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS No.166 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We do not believe the adoption
of SFAS No.166 will have an impact on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R),” codified as FASB ASC Topic 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
No. 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 No. 167
requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 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 No.167
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We do not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have an impact on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Results
of Operations
Three Months Ended September
30, 2009 as Compared to Three Months Ended September 30,
2008
Revenue. We
generated revenues of $472,957 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of $1,223,590 or 72.1%, compared to $1,696,547 for the three months
ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in revenue is primarily
attributable to the overall slowdown in the economy. Also in order to increase
sales volume and to give more customers access our products, we decreased our
product’s sales price by 25% in 2009. The decrease in revenue is
attributed to both lower sales volume and lower sales prices.
Gross Profit. We
achieved a gross profit (loss) of $(30,573) for the three months ended September
30, 2009, a decrease of $698,231 or 104.6%, compared to $667,658 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was
primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue. Gross margin
(gross profit (loss) as a percentage of revenues), was (6.5%) for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 39.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher
material cost and a decrease in the selling price for our products as mentioned
above.
Operating
expenses. We incurred net operating expenses of $1,081,825 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $4,105,457 or 79.1%,
compared to $5,187,282 for the three months ended September 30,
2008. The decrease in our operating expenses is primarily
attributable to a decrease in our general cost of operations due to the
reduction of our revenue during the past few years.
Aggregated
selling expenses accounted for $15,816 of our operating expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,776,357 or 99.1%, compared to
$1,776,357 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The
decrease in our aggregated selling expenses is primarily attributable to a
decrease in marketing costs and the decrease of sales.
General
and administrative expenses accounted for the remainder of our net operating
expenses of $1,066,009 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease
of $2,329,100 or 68.6%, compared to $3,395,109 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
primarily related to a decrease in our general cost of operations due to the
reduction of our revenue during the past few years, a reduction in personnel
resulting in lower payroll costs and a write off of certain loan receivables
during the three months ended September 30, 2008. No such write offs
occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Non Operating Income and
Expenses. We had total non-operating income of $177,826 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $9,783 or 5.2%,
compared to $187,099 for the three months ended September 30,
2008. Other income (expense) was $(503) for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $173,749 for three months ended September 30,
2008. Also included in non-operating income (expense) for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 is $177,826 related to equity income
of an investment that we account for under the equity method.
Net Income. For
the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $935,082 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3,397,443 or 78.4%, compared to $4,332,171
for the three months ended September 30, 2008. We had loss per share
of $0.05 and $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Nine Months Ended September
30, 2009 as Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Revenue. We
generated revenues of $3,078,485 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a
decrease of $693,116 or 18.4%, compared to $3,771,601 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable
to the overall slowdown in the economy. Also in order to increase sales volume
and to give more customers access our products, we decreased our product’s sales
price by 25% in 2009. The decrease in revenue is attributed to both
lower sales volume and lower sales prices.
Gross Profit. We
achieved a gross profit of $358,240 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, a decrease of $1,093,342 or 75.3%, compared to $1,451,582 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was
primarily attributable to a decline in revenue and higher cost of revenues due
to higher material costs. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage
of revenues), was 11.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared
to 38.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease
was primarily attributable to higher material costs and a decrease in the
selling price for our products as mentioned above.
Operating
expenses. We incurred net operating expenses of $354,781 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3,440,229 or 90.7%,
compared to $3,795,010 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The decrease in our operating expenses is primarily
attributable to a decrease in our general cost of operations due to the
reduction of our revenue during the past few years.
Aggregated
selling expenses accounted for $42,934 of our operating expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $2,127,418 or 98.0%, compared to
$2,170,352 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease
in our aggregated selling expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in
marketing costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 we
also recognized a loss on the disposal of property and equipment of
$104,254. We had no such loss during the nine months ended September
30, 2008. General and administrative expenses accounted for the
remainder of our net operating expenses of $207,593 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,417,065 or 87.2% compared to $1,624,658 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses is primarily related to a decrease in our general cost
of operations due to the reduction of our revenue during the past few years, a
reduction in personnel resulting in lower payroll costs and a write off of
certain loan receivables during the three months ended September 30,
2008. No such write offs occurred during the three months ended
September 30, 2009.
Non Operating Income and
Expenses. We had total non-operating income of $271,490 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $117,395 or 76.2%,
compared to $154,095 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. Total non-operating income includes interest income of $396 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $154,095 for nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income is
primarily attributable to less cash in the bank generating interest
income. Also included in non-operating income (expense) for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 is $(211,639) related to the loss on the sale of
two investments and $484,728 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 $274,949 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, an increase of $2,422,742 or 112.8%, compared to a net loss
of $2,147,793 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We had
earnings (loss) per share of $0.01 and $(0.12) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
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.
During
2008, we exchanged $3,291,264 of receivables for a 28.8% ownership interest in a
Chinese company, Shanxi Jiali Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd (“Jiali”). We
have written down the value of this investment by $987,860 at December 31,
2008. This investment is accounted for under the equity method
and we recorded equity income in this investment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 of $484,728. We received our ownership in Jiali a
result of settling an old receivable. We believed that we had a
better chance of realizing the value of this receivable by accepting ownership
in Jiali than pursuing a cash payment from our customer. In September
2009 Jiali merged with a U.S. public company trading on the OTC Bulletin Board ,
which should give us liquidity in this investment.
Cash
Flows
Operating. We
used $643,097 of cash for operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $2,435,251 provided by our operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in the use
of cash in operating activities is principally due to the decrease in advances
to suppliers during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Investing. Our
investing activities generated $720,369 of cash for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $2,931,264 of cash used in investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase
is primarily attributable to a decrease in construction in progress in 2009
compared to 2008 and proceeds from the sale of assets in 2009.
Financing. We
had no cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September
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.
We
currently do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements except for the
remaining pre-payments under the land-lease arrangement described
above.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Bo
Chen, our Chief Executive Officer, and Junyan Tong, our Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009.
Disclosure
controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and
implementing possible controls and procedures.
Management
conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the
supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer.
Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Bo and Tong concluded that because of the
material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below,
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30,
2009.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to
assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of nine months ended September 30,
2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework.
Notwithstanding
the aforementioned controls implemented in December 2006, during management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2009, management identified deficiencies related
to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) a lack of
segregation of duties within accounting functions, (iii) our internal risk
assessment functions, and (iv) our communication functions. Management believes
that these deficiencies amount to a material weakness that render our internal
controls over financial reporting ineffective as of September 30,
2009.
A
material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
In order
to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we have taken the following remediation
measures:
|
·
|
Although our accounting staff is
professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures
generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require
additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters. Management
has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly
deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal
audit functions. We retained an outside consulting firm in September 2006,
which has since been assisting us in the implementation of Section
404.
|
|
·
|
We have committed to the
establishment of effective internal audit functions and have instituted
various anti-fraud control and financial and account management policies
and procedures to strengthen our internal controls over financial
reporting. Due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with
extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region,
we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources before the
end of the first quarter of 2009. However, we will increase our search for
qualified candidates with assistance from recruiters and through
referrals.
|
|
·
|
Due to our size and nature,
segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may
not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible,
we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of
transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will
be performed by separate
individuals.
|
|
·
|
As of the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 we have not yet established an effective risk
assessment system that enables us to collect related information
comprehensively and systematically, assess risks in a timely, realistic
manner, and take appropriate measures to control risks effectively. The
Company is working with its outside consultant to devise an effective risk
assessment system and our Chief Financial Officer Junyan Tong is
responsible for overseeing such
measures.
|
|
·
|
As of the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, we are working to strengthen efforts to establish an
effective communication system with clear procedures that will enable us
to collect, process and deliver information related to internal controls
in a timely fashion. Due to our limited staff, our Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. Tong, will initially be primarily responsible for
collecting and delivering such information among the different levels of
Company management.
|
We
believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency
identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these
steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
Notwithstanding
the conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that the financial
statements and other information contained in this annual report present fairly,
in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Nothing has come to the attention of management that
causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or errors exist in our
financial statements as of September 30, 2009. The reportable conditions
and other areas of our internal control over financial reporting identified by
us as needing improvement have not resulted in a material restatement of our
financial statements. Nor are we aware of any instance where such reportable
conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material
misstatement of omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the
Commission.
Because
of its 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.
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 the 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 1,031,884
(2,063,768 pre-stock split) 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.
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 1,031,884 shares at a
repurchase price of $3.80 per share, for an aggregate repurchase price of
$3,921,159. As of October 29, 2009, the Utah court lifted the
injunction preventing us from selling our shares in China Natural Gas and
allowed for the certificate representing the 1,031,884 shares to be transferred
to Ji Xiang. The Company is working with counsel to effect transfer of the
shares through a United States transfer agent in accordance with the settlement
agreement among the parties. The pending lawsuit in Utah will be dismissed
immediately upon transfer of the shares to Ji Xiang and will thereafter
have no further potential effect or impact upon the operation or financial
condition of the Company.
