NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principle of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Green New Jersey, Jinong, Gufeng, Tianjuyuan, Yuxing and the VIE Companies. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

VIE assessment

A VIE is an entity (1) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. In order to determine if an entity is considered a VIE, the Company first performs a qualitative analysis, which requires certain subjective decisions regarding its assessments, including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties, and the purpose of the arrangement. If the Company cannot conclude after a qualitative analysis whether an entity is a VIE, it performs a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis considered the design of the entity, the risks that cause variability, the purpose for which the entity was created, and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along to its variable interest holders. When the primary beneficiary could not be identified through a qualitative analysis, we used internal cash flow models to compute and allocate expected losses or expected residual returns to each variable interest holder based upon the relative contractual rights and preferences of each interest holder in the VIE’s capital structure.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of cash

For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with state owned banks in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) and banks in the United States, and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of nine months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains large sums of cash in three major banks in China. The aggregate cash in such accounts and on hand as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 were $118,259,995 and $102,896,486, respectively. In addition, the Company also had $221,024 and $167,495 in cash in two banks in the United States as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Cash overdraft as of balance sheet date will be reflected as liabilities in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Accounts receivable

The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves at each year-end. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company had accounts receivable of $154,950,404 and $117,055,376, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,859,447 and $1,362,852, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials. The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary.

Deferred assets represent amounts that the distributors owed to the Company in their marketing efforts and developing standard stores to expand the Company’s products’ competitiveness and market shares. The amount owed to the Company to assist its distributors will be expensed over three years, which is the term as stated in the cooperation agreement, as long as the distributors are actively selling the Company’s products. For the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company amortized $13,735,614 and $21,430,699, respectively, of the deferred assets. If a distributor breaches, defaults, or terminates the agreement with the Company within the three-year period, the outstanding unamortized portion of the amount owed will become payable to the Company immediately. The Company’s Chairman, Mr. Li, has guaranteed repayment of any amounts due to the Company remaining unpaid from distributors.

The deferred assets consist of items inside the distributors’ stores such as furniture, racks, cabinets, and display units, and items outside or attached to the distributors’ stores, such as signage and billboards. These types of assets would be capitalized as fixed assets if the Company actually owned the stores or utilized the assets for its own operations. These assets would also be capitalized as leasehold improvements if the Company leased these stores from the distributors. Therefore, the Company believes that under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these types of asset purchases are properly capitalized. In addition, the Company believes that these assets are properly classified as deferred assets because if a distributor breaches, defaults, or terminates the agreement with the Company within a three-year period, a proportionate amount expended by the Company is to be repaid by the distributor. The Company’s Chairman, Mr. Li, has guaranteed repayment of any amounts due to the Company remaining unpaid from distributors.

The assets inside the distributors’ stores are custom made to fit the layout of each individual store and the signage and billboards are also custom designed to fit the specific location. The assets were purchased by the Company directly from the manufacturers and installed in the distributors’ stores. The Company wants to maintain control over the quality of the items being purchased as well as making them uniform among all the distributor locations.

Intangible Assets

The Company records intangible assets acquired individually or as part of a group at fair value. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the useful life of the intangible asset, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the entity’s future cash flows. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. As of June 30, 2016, the Company performed the required impairment review which resulted in no impairment adjustment.

Summary of changes in goodwill by reporting segments is as follows:

|  | Balance at |  |  |  |  |  | Foreign |  |  | Balance at |
|  | June 30, |  |  |  |  |  | Currency |  |  | March 31, |
Segment |  | 2016 |  |  | Additions |  |  | Adjustment |  |  | 2017 |
Gufeng |  | $ | 4,822,659 |  |  |  | - |  |  | $ | (172,590 | ) |  |  | 4,650,069 |
Acquisition of VIE Companies |  |  | 3,158,179 |  |  |  | 661,066 |  |  |  | (113,023 | ) |  |  | 3,706,222 |
|  | $ | 7,930,838 |  |  | $ | 661,066 |  |  | $ | (422,984 | ) |  | $ | 8,356,291 |

The goodwill addition in the above table is due to the acquisition of two new VIE Companies in January 2017. Such addition amount will be subject to the year-end audit as of June 30, 2017 for adjustments if needed.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures

Our accounting for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be reflected within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2017.

|  | Fair Value |  |  | Fair Value Measurements at |
|  | As of March 31, |  |  | June 30, 2016 |
Description |  | 2017 |  |  | Using Fair Value Hierarchy |
|  |  |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |
Derivative liability |  | $ | 52,768 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 144,818 |  |  | $ | - |

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company uses a binomial option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

At March 31, 2017, the only derivative financial instrument is the variable conversion feature embedded in the convertible notes payable (See Note 9). The fair value of the embedded conversion of $52,768 is recorded as a derivative liability at March 31, 2017. The fair value was determined using a binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk-free rate |  |  | 2.96 | %
Volatility |  |  | 51.4 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.0 | %
Country risk premium |  |  | 90.0 | %
Liquidity risk premium |  |  | 3.0 | %

Customer deposits

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits. When all revenue recognition criteria are met, the customer deposits are recognized as revenue. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company had customer deposits of $6,555,693 and $8,578,341, respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share consist of the following:

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the materiality of the impact to our consolidated financial statements, and have not yet selected a transition approach.

In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

In February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

| 9 |

In September, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting, to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this newly issued guidance to its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In connection with the acquisition of the VIE Companies, the Company’s subsidiary, Jinong, issued to the VIE Companies’ shareholders convertible notes payable in the aggregate amount of RMB63,000,000 ($9,142,182), with a term of three years and an annual interest rate of 3%. The convertible notes take priority over the preferred stock and common stock of Jinong, and any other class or series of capital stock Jinong issues in the future in terms of interests and payments in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Jinong. On or after the third anniversary of the issuance date of the notes, noteholders may request Jinong to process the note conversion to convert the note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes cannot be converted prior to the maturity date. The per share conversion price of the notes is the higher of the following: (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) 75% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the noteholder delivers the conversion notice.

The Company determined that the fair value of the convertible notes payable was RMB56,286,294 ($8,167,929) and RMB44,330,692 ($6,383,620) as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, which was due to the lower than market interest rate and the conversion feature. The difference between the fair value of the notes and the face amount of the notes will be amortized to interest expense over the three year life of the notes. As of March 31, 2017, the amortization of this discount into interest expense was $249,125.

NOTE 10 – TAXES PAYABLE

Enterprise Income Tax

Effective January 1, 2008, the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law of the PRC replaced the tax laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate that was applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The two year tax exemption and three year 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs was eliminated. Since January 1, 2008, Jinong became subject to income tax in China at a rate of 15% as a high-tech company, as a result of the expiration of its tax exemption on December 31, 2007. Accordingly, it made provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of $2,814,503 and $1,805,667, respectively, which is mainly due to the operating income from Jinong. Gufeng is subject to 25% EIT rate and thus it made provision for income taxes of $1,428,284 and $1,256,325 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Value-Added Tax

All of the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC were subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 13% of the gross sales price. On April 29, 2008, the PRC State of Administration of Taxation (SAT) released Notice #56, “Exemption of VAT for Organic Fertilizer Products”, which allows certain fertilizer products to be exempt from VAT beginning June 1, 2008. The Company submitted the application for exemption in May 2009, which was granted effective September 1, 2009, continuing through March 31, 2016.

Each of the four operating segments referenced above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) receives financial information, including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income produced from the various general ledger systems to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance; however, the principal measure of segment profitability or loss used by the CODM is net income by segment.

The consideration for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties and memorialized in the future by definitive agreements setting forth the kind and value of such consideration. Jinong may transfer all rights and obligations under the Exclusive Option Agreements to any third parties without the approval of the shareholders of the VIE Companies so long as a written notice is provided.

NOTE 16 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which a company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

Green Nevada through one of its subsidiaries, Jinong, entered into a series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Yuxing for it to qualify as a VIE, effective June 16, 2013.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Yuxing is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jinong, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of Yuxing, thereby enabling the Company, through Jinong, to receive a majority of Yuxing’s expected residual returns.

On June 30, 2016, and January 1, 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Jinong, entered into strategic acquisition agreements and also into a series of contractual agreements to qualify as VIEs with the shareholders of the VIE Companies.

Jinong, the VIE Companies, and the shareholders of the VIE Companies also entered into a series of contractual agreements for the VIE Companies to qualify as VIEs (the “VIE Agreements”).

Overview

We are engaged in the research, development, production and sale of various types of fertilizers and agricultural products in the PRC through our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Jinong and Gufeng (including Gufeng’s subsidiary Tianjuyuan), and our VIE, Yuxing. Our primary business is fertilizer products, specifically humic-acid based compound fertilizer produced by Jinong and compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, highly-concentrated water-soluble fertilizer and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer produced by Gufeng.

Gross profit margin from Gufeng’s sales was approximately 14.6% and 15.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage was mainly due to the increased weight for lower-margin products sales in Gufeng’s total sales answering to market demand.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, gross profit generated by Yuxing was $1,380,755, a decrease of $884,222, or 39% from $2,264,977 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The gross profit margin was approximately 20.9% and 34.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to the higher labor cost during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.

Gross profit generated by VIEs were $5,866,288 with a gross profit margin of approximately 13.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries of sales personnel, advertising and promotion expenses, freight-out costs and related compensation. Selling expenses were $15,108,275, or 7.5%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $11,070,369 or 5.8% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $4,037,906, or 36.5%. This increase was primarily due to Jinong, and the inclusion of VIEs’ selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The selling expenses of VIEs were $912,957, or 1.8%, of VIEs’ net sales. The selling expenses of Yuxing were $29,665 or 0.5% of Yuxing’s net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $190,281, or 2.9% of Yuxing’s net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.The selling expenses of Gufeng were $294,189 or 0.4% of Gufeng’s net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $450,283, or 0.5% of Gufeng’s net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The selling expenses of Jinong for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $25,037,160 or 29.6% of Jinong’s net sales, as compared to selling expenses of $10,429,805, or 10.7% of Jinong’s net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in Jinong’s selling expenses was due to Jinong’s expanded marketing efforts and the increase in shipping costs.

Selling Expenses – amortization of deferred assets

Our selling expenses - amortization of our deferred assets were $11,140,251, or 5.5%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $27,158,360, or 14.3%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $16,018,109, or 59%. This decrease was due to the fact that some of the deferred assets were fully amortized and therefore no amortization was recorded on the fully amortized assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of related salaries, rental expenses, business development, depreciation and travel expenses incurred by our general and administrative departments and legal and professional expenses including expenses incurred and accrued for certain litigation. General and administrative expenses were $11,837,282, or 5.9% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $7,864,395, or 4.1%, of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $3,972,887, or 50.5%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to VIEs, which had $1,917,762 general and administrative expenses during the last nine months.

Total Other Expenses

Total other expenses consisted of income from subsidies received from the PRC government, interest income, interest expenses and bank charges. The total other expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $56,668, as compared to $533,020 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $476,352, or 89.4%.

| 32 |

Income Taxes

Jinong is subject to a preferred tax rate of 15% as a result of its business being classified as a High-Tech project under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT”) that became effective on January 1, 2008. Jinong incurred income tax expenses of $2,814,503 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $2,701,887 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $112,616, or 4.2%.

Gufeng, subject to a tax rate of 25%, incurred income tax expenses of $1,408,216 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $2,465,010 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1,056,794, or 42.9%.

Yuxing has no income tax for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of being exempted from paying income tax due to its products fall into the tax exemption list set out in the EIT.

Net Income

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $21,049,266, an increase of $1,284,288, or 6.5%, compared to $19,764,978 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. Net income as a percentage of total net sales was approximately 10.4% and 10.4 % for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Discussion of Segment Profitability Measures

As of March 31, 2017, we were engaged in the following businesses: the production and sale of fertilizers through Jinong and Gufeng and the production and sale of high-quality agricultural products by Yuxing. For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into three main business segments based on locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) and Yuxing (agricultural products production). Each of the segments has its own annual budget with regard to development, production and sales.

Each of the three operating segments referenced above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes decisions with respect to resources allocation and performance assessment upon receiving financial information, including revenue, gross margin, operating income and net income produced from the various general ledger systems; however, net income by segment is the principal benchmark to measure profit or loss adopted by the CODM.

For Jinong, the net income increased by $25,281 or 0.2% to $15,048,662 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 from $15,023,381 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

For Gufeng, the net income decreased by $3,101,988 or 41.7% to $4,145,555 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 from $7,247,543 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

For Yuxing, the net income decreased by $735,115 or 50.1% to $732,828 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 from $1,467,943 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations, borrowings from local commercial banks and net proceeds of offerings of our securities consummated in July 2009 and November/December 2009 (collectively the “Public Offerings”).

As of March 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $118,259,995, an increase of $15,363,509, or 14.9%, from $102,896,486 as of June 30, 2016.

| 33 |

We intend to use our working capital to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete Yuxing’s new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products located on 88 acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an city. Our liquidity needs have generally consisted of working capital necessary to finance receivables, raw material and finished goods inventory. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to support our business growth for the next twelve months to the extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or expansions. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing as necessary for expansion purposes and when we believe market conditions are most advantageous, which may include additional debt and/or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

|  | Nine Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 17,499,348 |  |  | $ | 19,886,347 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (359,030 | ) |  |  | (16,608 | )
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities |  |  | 1,928,115 |  |  |  | (17,493,160 | )
Effect of exchange rate change on cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (3,704,924 | ) |  |  | (4,888,986 | )
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 15,363,509 |  |  |  | 2,512,407 |
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning balance |  |  | 102,896,486 |  |  |  | 92,982,564 |
Cash and cash equivalents, ending balance |  | $ | 118,259,995 |  |  | $ | 90,470,157 |

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17,499,348 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $2,386,999, or 12%, compared to $19,886,347 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in net income, account receivable and customer deposits, offset by a decrease in inventories and advances to suppliers during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $359,030, an increase of $342,422, or 2061.8%, from $16,608 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we purchased more plants, property and equipment compared to the same period last year.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $1,928,115, compared to cash used in financing activities of $17,493,160 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, which was largely due to we had nil proceeds and repayment of loans for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, our loans payable were as follows:

|  | March 31, 2017 |  |  | June 30, 2016 |
Short term loans payable: |  | $ | 5,965,201 |  |  | $ | 4,665,500 |
Total |  | $ | 5,965,201 |  |  | $ | 4,665,500 |

Accounts Receivable

We had accounts receivable of $161,809,851 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $118,418,228 as of June 30, 2016, an increase of $43,391,623 or 36.64%, which is mainly attributable to Gufeng. As of March 31, 2017, Gufeng had accounts receivable of $88,944,961, an increase of $41,598,899, compared to $47,346,062 as of June 30, 2016.

Allowance for doubtful accounts in accounts receivable for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $6,859,447, an increase of $5,496,595 from $1,362,852 as of June 30, 2016, and the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable was 4.2% as of March 31, 2017 and 1.2% as of June 30, 2016.

| 34 |

Deferred assets

We had deferred assets of $1,967,215 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $13,431,621 as of June 30, 2016. We have been assisting our distributors in certain marketing efforts and developing standard stores to enhance our competitive advantages and market shares since March 31, 2016. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the realization of contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor is to be refunded to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup to guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Inventories

We had inventory of $46,418,945 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $87,436,315 as of June 30, 2016, a decrease of $41,017,370, or 46.9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to Gufeng’s inventory. Gufeng’s inventory was $19,873,778 as of March 31, 2017, compared to $60,183,741 as of June 30, 2016.

Advances to Suppliers

We had advances to suppliers of $28,540,308 as of March 31, 2017 as compared to $26,863,959 as of June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $1,676,349 or 6.2%, which was due to the large acquisition of raw material during the last nine months. To ensure our ability to deliver compound fertilizer to the distributor timely prior to the planting season, we need to have sufficient raw material in stock to stabilize the production. To build up the inventory, we typically make advance payment to the suppliers to secure the supply of raw material of basic fertilizer. Our inventory level may fluctuate from time to time, depending how quickly the raw material gets consumed and replenished during the production process, and how soon the finished goods are sold. The replenishment of raw material relies on management’s estimate of numerous factors, including but not limited to, the raw material’s future price, and spot price along with its volatility, as well as the seasonal demand and future price of finished fertilizer products. Such estimate may not be accurate, and the purchase decision of raw materials based on the estimate can cause excessive inventories in times of slow sales and insufficient inventories in peak times.

Accounts Payable

We had accounts payable of $11,783,861 as of March 31, 2017 as compared to $5,246,153 as of June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $6,537,708, or 124.6%. The increase was primarily due to the VIEs, which had $9,839,580 accounts payable as of March 31, 2017.

Unearned Revenue (Customer Deposits)

We had unearned revenue of $6,555,693 as of March 31, 2017 as compared to $8,578,341 as of June 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $2,022,648, or 23.6%. The decrease was mainly attributable to Gufeng’s $2,718,018unearned revenue as of March 31, 2017, compared to $4,381,169 unearned revenue as of June 30, 2016, caused by the advance deposits made by clients. This decrease was a seasonal fluctuation and we expect to deliver products to our customers during the next three months at which time we will recognize the revenue.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the most critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, we have no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.

Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows purposes, we consider all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Any accounts receivable of Jinong and Gufeng that are outstanding for more than 180 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts, and any accounts receivable of Yuxing that are outstanding for more than 90 days will be accounted as allowance for bad debts.

Deferred assets

Deferred assets represent amounts the Company advanced to the distributors in their marketing and stores development to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years as long as the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the realization the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor has to be refunded to us immediately. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Li, provided credit backup guarantee toward potential losses to the Company of any amounts due from distributors in this matter.

Segment reporting

FASB ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

As of March 31, 2017, we were organized into four main business segments: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production) Yuxing (agricultural products production), and VIEs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Disclosures about Market Risk

We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not, in the normal course of business, use financial instruments that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.

Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. However, we use the U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not again become volatile or that RMB will not devalue significantly against U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Except for U.S. holding companies, all of our consolidated revenues, consolidated costs and expenses, and our assets are denominated in RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2016, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $22.1 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. In 2016, China’s currency dropped by a cumulative 6.8% against the U.S. dollar. The effect on trade can be substantial. Moreover, it is possible that, in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Interest Rate Risk

We deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interests. The amount of short-term debt outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was $4.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans, are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. There were no material changes in interest rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The original loan term on average is one year, and the remaining average life of the short term-loans is approximately five months.

Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

We have not experienced significant credit risk, as most of our customers are long-term customers with superior payment records. Our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit managers.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2017 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
