ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS
Outline
of Our Business
China
SXAN Biotech, Inc. is a holding
company. Until July 2007 it was engaged exclusively in the business
of developing infrared vision systems for commercial applications. In
July 2007 the Company acquired the capital stock of Tieli XiaoXingAnling Forest
Frog Breeding Co., Ltd. (“Tieli XiaoXingAnling”), a corporation organized under
the laws of The People’s Republic of China. In connection with that
acquisition, the Company transferred all of the assets relating to the infrared
vision systems business to a subsidiary named Infrared Systems
International. Infrared Systems International has filed a
registration statement that, when declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, will permit the Company to distribute the capital stock
of
Infrared Systems International to its shareholders. Thereafter the
Company will be exclusively engaged in the business carried on by Tieli
XiaoXingAnling.
Tieli
XiaoXingAnling was organized in
2003 in the City of Tieli, which is in the Heilongjiang Province in northeast
China. Tieli XiaoXingAnling is engaged in the business of breeding
forest frogs, which are also known as snow frogs or winter frogs, since they
are
traditionally harvested just prior to their winter hibernation in order to
maximize the frog’s fat content. Tieli XiaoXingAnling has obtained
patents from the government of China to produce therapeutic wines and tonics
from its forest frogs. Tieli XiaoXingAnling has been marketing its
forest frog products since 2004 under the brand “Xiao Xing’an
Mountain.”
The
desirable portion of the Chinese
forest frog, known as “hasma,” is a combination of the frog’s ovaries and
surrounding fatty tissues. Throughout Chinese history, hasma has been
used to treat respiratory problems such as coughing, hemoptysis (expectoration
of blood), and night sweats attributable to tuberculosis. Many
Chinese residents also believe that forest frog hasma improves immune function,
aids in the treatment of neurasthenia, and slows aging.
Today,
however, the forest frog is classified as an endangered species in
China. Commercial harvesting of forest frogs in the wild is
prohibited by national regulations. To meet the continuing demand for
hasma, therefore, a domestic forest frog breeding industry has
developed. The mission of Tieli XiaoXingAnling is to become the
leader in this industry.
Results of Operations
Our
level
of operations increased dramatically during our 2007 fiscal year, which ended
on
June 30, 2007. Through the first six months of fiscal 2008, we have
continuing that growth, albeit at a slower pace. In the six month
period ended December 31, 2007 our revenue reached $5,010,882, a 52% increase
from the $3,305,174 in revenue recorded during the six months ended December
31,
2006. During the three months ended December 31, 2007 our revenue
increased by only 12%, however, from $3,271,018 to $3,664,824. The
primary reason that our revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2007
exceeded our growth in the second quarter was the maturity schedule of our
inventory. We commenced forest frog production in
2004. Forest frogs reach maturity after two years, after which they
can be harvested. So the initial inventory of forest frogs that we
accumulated in 2004 and 2005 became available for harvesting in the fall of
2006. We achieved our first significant revenue in that period – the
second quarter of fiscal 2007 – and are now building on that base. We
expect growth in future quarters to approximate the level achieved in the second
fiscal quarter of 2007, until we obtain the funds needed to substantially expand
our marketing and production.
We
realized a gross margin of 52% on our sales in the first six months of fiscal
year 2008 and 46% on our sales in the quarter ended December 31,
2007. This margin ratio fell below the 63% margin that we achieved in
the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The primary causes for the
reduction were:
·
|
increased
prices for grain in China, which have increased our expense for feedstock;
and
|
·
|
the
increasing proportion of our sales attributable to manufactured products,
which require more processing than sales of raw
hasma.
|
Our
gross
margin will continue to dwindle in the next two years as we introduce even
more
manufactured products into our product offerings.
Our
selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $270,955 in the
three months ended December 31, 2006 to $559,912 in the three months ended
December 31, 2007, and from $319,158 in the six months ended December 31, 2006
to $818,492 in the six months ended December 31, 2007. The primary
reasons for the increase were
·
|
increased
administrative salaries, as we have developed a staff capable of
managing
our growing company;
|
·
|
increased
selling expenses, related to the increase in our sales volume;
and
|
·
|
expenses
incurred as a result of the merger of Tieli XiaoXingAnling into a
U.S.
public company.
|
We
expect
that in the next two years our selling, general and administrative expense
will
remain at its current level or higher, as we will incur the expenses
attributable to being a U.S. public company and as we continue to expand the
focus of our business operations, necessitating a staff of skilled
administrators.
Because
we are involved in husbandry, the government of China has allowed us to defer
payment of our income taxes until the end of this year. Therefore we
have accrued the income tax expense on our Statement of Operations - $165,280
for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $272,041 for the six months
ended December 31, 2007 – but recorded the tax as payable on our balance
sheet. We expect to satisfy that payable during the
winter. During the next five years, we will be entitled to a tax
abatement by reason of becoming a foreign-owned entity during the current fiscal
year. As a foreign owned entity, Tieli XiaoXingAnling will be
entitled to a two year income tax holiday, followed by a 50% income tax
reduction for the next three years.
Our
operations during the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 produced net after tax income of $936,586, and net after
tax
income of $1,541,565 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. While the
six
month net income represented a modest (9%) increase over the first six months
of
fiscal 2007, our net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 38% lower
than our net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The
primary reasons for the reduction in our earnings ratio were the reduction
in
gross margin and increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
discussed earlier. We expect that our earnings-to-revenue ratio in
the future will be closer to that realized in recent periods that that realized
in fiscal 2007.
Our
business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we will report our results
in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts
from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported
as a
middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net
income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; while the
translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled
“accumulated other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes
in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of
our
business. During the three months ended December 31, 2007 the
unrealized gain on foreign currency translations added $285,907 to our
accumulated other comprehensive income. $418,423 was added to our
equity by unrealized gains on foreign currency translations during the first
six
months of fiscal 2008.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Since
Tieli XiaoXingAnling was
organized at the end of 2003, its operations have been funded primarily by
capital contributions from its shareholders (who became, in July 2007, the
controlling shareholders of China SXAN Biotech). In addition, the
shareholders have made short-term, non-interest bearing loans to Tieli
XiaoXingAnling when it needed working capital. The result is that at
December 31, 2007 the Company had $5,586,268 in working capital, with only
$289,747 in debt.
During
the six months ended
December 31, 2007, the operations of Tieli XiaoXingAnling generated $64,051
in
cash, despite reporting $1,541,565 in net income. This disparity,
which was caused by a large increase in inventory during the period, is
characteristic of the Company’s operations. Its balance sheet at
December 31, 2007 shows that the company is oriented towards near-term growth,
as it includes only $72,336 in cash among its $7,594,558 in current
assets. The principal current assets on that date were:
·
|
$342,522
in advances to suppliers – payments made to insure that the feedstocks and
other raw materials necessary for production during the 2008 growing
season are available;
|
·
|
$3,918,049
in inventory – primarily forest frogs;
and
|
·
|
$118,292
in other receivables – representing loans made to unrelated third parties
to secure favourable business
relationships.
|
Tieli
XiaoXingAnling has adequate resources to fund its operations for the foreseeable
future. However, its management has budgeted a capital expenditure
over the next twelve months of 85 million RMB (approx. $11
million). Management’s plans include:
·
|
Development
of the Company’s forest property in Heli to house an additional five
million forest frogs, thus doubling the company’s
production;
|
·
|
Acquisition
of a liquor factory or medical wine factory with the necessary Good
Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) certification from the government, to
enable Tieli XiaoXingAnling to rapidly expand its production of medicinal
tonic; and
|
·
|
Acquisition
of a pharmaceutical factory or healthcare products factory with a
GMP
certification, to enable Tieli XiaoXingAnling to rapidly initiate
production of forest frog derivative
products.
|
Management
intends to pursue a variety of sources for the funds required for those capital
investments, offering both debt and equity. At the present time,
however, no commitment for funds has been received from any source.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Neither
China SXAN Biotech nor Tieli XiaoXingAnling has any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on their financial condition or results of operations.
Risk
Factors That May Affect Future
Results
You
should carefully consider the risks
described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks
described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of
our
common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Because
we are expanding the scope of
our operations, unexpected factors may hamper our efforts to implement our
business plan.
Until
recently, all of our business
consisted of the sale of hasma – raw forest frog fatty tissues. We
are currently expanding our business operations to include products enriched
with hasma, as well as tonics and wines made from hasma. This
expansion will involve us in much broader marketing operations. It
will also entail much more complex production operations. Because
these are areas in which we have limited experience, problems may occur with
production or marketing that we have not anticipated, which would interfere
with
our business, and prevent us from achieving profitability.
The
capital investments that we plan
for the next two years may result in dilution of the equity of our present
shareholders.
Our
business plan contemplates that we
will invest approximately 85 million RMB in our business during the next two
years. We will raise the funds for that investment primarily by
selling equity in our company. At present we have no commitment from
any source for those funds. We cannot determine, therefore, the terms
on which we will be able to raise the necessary funds. It is possible
that we will be required to dilute the value of our current shareholders’ equity
in order to obtain the funds. If, however, we are unable to raise the
necessary funds, our growth will be limited, as will our ability to compete
effectively.
Competition
could prevent us from
achieving a significant market position.
There
are currently over 5,000 brands
of medicinal tonics being sold in China. The struggle to gain brand
recognition is complicated by the lack of government regulation of health
claims. In order to achieve substantial market presence, we will have
to distinguish our brand from all of the others. In addition, if we
are successful in establishing a strong market for our products, other large,
well-capitalized nutraceutical companies could be attracted by our success
we
achieve, and develop similar products. If a well-capitalized company
directed its financial strength toward competition with us, it could achieve
economies of scale that might permit it to market its products at lower prices
than ours. If this occurred before we had established a significant
market awareness of our brand, we might be unable to compete effectively, and
would be unable to achieve profitability.
A
recession in China could
significantly hinder our growth.
The
growing demand for our products has
been swelled, in large part, by the recent dramatic improvement in the standard
of living in China. The continued growth of our market will depend on
continuation of recent improvements in the Chinese economy and the amount of
disposable income available to the Chinese population. If the Chinese
economy were to contract and money became tight, individuals will be less able
to pay premium prices for the benefits of forest frog hasma. Many
financial commentators expect a recession to occur in China in the near
future. The occurrence of a recession could significantly hinder our
efforts to implement our business plan.
We
are subject to the risk of disease
and natural disasters.
Our
business involves the production of
livestock. We have not developed alternative sources for raw
materials. If our forest frogs or, to a lesser extent, our pigs,
become diseased, we could suffer a significant loss of value. In
addition, if our farms are damaged by drought, flood, storm, or the other woes
of farming, we will not be able to meet the demand for our products, and are
likely to suffer operating losses. Such events could have both an
immediate negative effect on our financial results, as well as a long-term
negative effect on our ability to grow our business.
Our
business and growth will suffer if
we are unable to hire and retain key personnel that are in high
demand.
Our
future success depends on our
ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, geneticists,
agricultural manufacturing specialists, and marketing personnel. In
general, qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are
insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand. In a
specialized scientific field, such as ours, the demand for qualified individuals
is even greater. If we are unable to successfully attract or retain
the personnel we need to succeed, we will be unable to implement our business
plan.
We
may have difficulty establishing
adequate management and financial controls in China.
The
People’s Republic of China has only
recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and
practices that investors in the United States are familiar with. We
may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the
experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls
that are expected of a United States public company. If we cannot
establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial
data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records
and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.
Government
regulation may hinder our
ability to function efficiently.
The
national, provincial and local
governments in the People’s Republic of China are highly
bureaucratized. The day-to-day operations of our business require
frequent interaction with representatives of the Chinese government
institutions. The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and
permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be
daunting. Significant delays can result from the need to obtain
governmental approval of our activities. These delays can have an
adverse effect on the profitability of our operations. In addition,
compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to livestock farming and
production may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect
our profitability.
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to
shareholders in the United States.
The
People’s Republic of China has
adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require
that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although
Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the
convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items,
conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign
direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the
required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory
authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB
in
the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability
to
obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges
will limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Currency
fluctuations may adversely
affect our operating results.
Tieli
XiaoXingAnling generates revenues
and incurs expenses and liabilities in Renminbi, the currency of the People’s
Republic of China. However, as a subsidiary of China SXAN Biotech, it
will report its financial results in the United States in U.S.
Dollars. As a result, our financial results will be subject to the
effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. From
time to time, the government of China may take action to stimulate the Chinese
economy that will have the effect of reducing the value of
Renminbi. In addition, international currency markets may cause
significant adjustments to occur in the value of the Renminbi. Any
such events that result in a devaluation of the Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar
will have an adverse effect on our reported results. We have not
entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate
risks.
We
have limited business insurance
coverage.
The
insurance industry in China is
still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer
limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer
business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability
insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption
insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and
cost
of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business
disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs
and
diversion of resources.
China
SXAN Biotech is not likely to
hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
Management
does not expect to hold
annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense
involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were
appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other
directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current
directors will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of China
SXAN Biotech will have no effective means of exercising control over the
operations of China SXAN Biotech.
ITEM
3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures.
Our
Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of
the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2007. Pursuant to Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure
controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed
to insure that information required to be disclosed by China SXAN Biotech in
the
reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the
Commission’s rules. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information
China SXAN Biotech is required to disclose in the reports it files with the
Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Based on his evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that China SXAN Biotech’s system
of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of December 31, 2007
for
the purposes described in this paragraph.
Changes
in Internal
Controls.
There
was
no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified
in
connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that
occurred during China SXAN Biotech’s second fiscal quarter that has materially
affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect China SXAN Biotech’s
internal control over financial reporting.
