F3Q11 Results Slightly Above Expectations; Maintain Market Perform

F3Q11 Results

China Green Agriculture (“China Green”, Ticker: CGA, Market Perform) reported F3Q11 results that were mostly above our expectations. Net revenue increased 232.2% YoY and reached $44.7 million, slightly above our estimate of $41.8 million. Gufeng subsidiary continued to be the company’s largest revenue contributor, providing $26.1 million, or 58.5% of the total sales. Jinong sales reached $16.2 million. Gross profit in the quarter came in at $17.0 million, up 110.1% YoY and above our estimate of $14.8 million. Gross margin was 38.2%%, higher than our expectation of 35.5%. G&A expenses were 3.3 million, above our estimate of $3.0 million. Management cited some Gufeng related G&A expenses, additional investor relations fees, and litigation related expenses as the major reasons for this higher than expected expense item. Selling expenses were $1.7 million, in-line with our estimate. Operating income in the quarter was $12.1 million, up 95.3% YoY and above our estimate of $10.1 million. Net income was $9.5 million, up 77.6% YoY, translating to $0.35 per diluted share, above our estimate of $8.1 million or $0.30 per diluted share. Net margin in the quarter was 21.2%, compared to our estimate of 19.3%. The company also reported that, as of March 31, 2011, it had $66.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusting estimates and maintaining Market Perform rating

We have tweaked our financial model to reflect the F3Q11 performance. For F4Q11, we now expect the company will realize $43.0 million of revenue, $8.7 million of net income, and $0.32 of EPS. For full year F2011, we estimate total revenue of $162.5 million, net income of $32.2 million, and $1.21 EPS. Despite the stronger than expected F3Q11 results, we continue to take a conservative approach with regard to our view on the share price outlook. In light of the current market sentiment towards small Chinese RTO companies, we believe financial fundamentals are almost taking a backseat to investor sentiment and companies’ perceived corporate governance quality. In this regard, we believe China Green is still facing a number of uncertainties such as its pending litigation and auditor change. Thus we continue to take a wait and see approach and maintain our Market Perform/Speculative Risk rating on the shares of China Green.

Risks

Major risks include: 1) The seasonal variations and adverse weather conditions could impact agricultural production, which in turn could result in reduced demand for fertilizer products; 2) Delay or halt in the launch of new products or addition of new distributors could lead to stagnation or decline in revenue growth; 3) Highly competitive industry with numerous national and local players; 4) Decline in margins as the company ventures into more product areas; 5) Litigation risk; and 6) Political, regulatory, and economical risks related to operating in China.

Mixed F2Q11 Results; Maintain Market Perform

Mixed F2Q11 results

China Green Agriculture (“China Green”, Ticker: CGA, Market Perform) reported mixed F2Q11 results. Net revenue for the quarter reached $35.3 million, above the company’s previous guidance of $33.1-33.3 million as well as both Street consensus and our estimates of $33.3 million. The company’s Gufeng subsidiary was once again a major revenue contributor with $18.9 million, or 53.5% of the total sales. The Jinong unit contributed $14.3 million to the overall top line. Gross margin for the quarter was 34.9%. While it represented a significant drop from a year ago, largely due to a higher sales component of lower-margined granular fertilizer products, mostly from Gufeng, it was actually slightly better than our previous estimate of 33.2%. G&A expenses were 2.9 million, significantly above our estimate of $1.8 million. Management cited escalating litigation related expenses and higher stock based compensation as the major reasons for this higher than expected expense item. Selling expenses were $1.6 million, higher than our estimate of $1.2 million. F2Q11 operating income was $7.9 million, slightly below our estimate of $8.1 million. Net income was $6.2 million, translating to EPS of $0.24, below both respective Street consensus of $7.4 million and $0.28 and our Street-low estimates of $6.8 million and $0.26. They were also below the company’s own guidance of $7.76-7.86 million net income and $0.29 EPS.

Updated FY2011 guidance

The company updated its FY2011 guidance, with total revenue between $155.0 and $165.0 million, net income between $31.5 and $33.2 million, and EPS between $1.17 and $1.24 (based on 26.9 million weighted average shares). For F3Q11, the company now expects to realize $41.8-43.6 million of revenue, $8.2-8.6 million of net income, and $0.31-0.32 of EPS (based on 26.9 million weighted average shares).

Adjusting estimates and maintain Market Perform rating

In light of the F2Q11 performance and the company’s updated guidance, we have tweaked our financial model. For F3Q11, we now expect the company will realize $41.8 million of revenue, $8.1 million of net income, and $0.30 of EPS. For full year F2011, we estimate total revenue of $159.6 million, net income of $30.8 million, and $1.16 EPS. We are maintaining our Market Perform/Speculative Risk rating on the shares of China Green. We believe while the company could be a long term growth story, in the short term there are a number of uncertainties, such as its continued integration of the Gufeng unit and its potential engagement of a Big 4 auditor, that are keeping us on the sideline.

Risks

Major risks include: 1) The seasonal variations and adverse weather conditions could impact agricultural production, which in turn could result in reduced demand for fertilizer products; 2) Delay or halt in the launch of new products or addition of new distributors could lead to stagnation or decline in revenue growth; 3) Highly competitive industry with numerous national and local players; 4) Decline in margins as the company ventures into more product areas; 5) Litigation risk; and 6) Political, regulatory, and economical risks related to operating in China.

GeoTeam® Note: Analyst estimate for the 2010 quarter was $0.28. Non-GAAP 2010 secod qurarter EPS was $0.29.

"We are pleased with our strong performance in the second quarter and with the continuing development, integration and expansion of the company as a whole. Gufeng added $18.9 million to our net sales while Jinong continued to turn in a solid performance with a 56.4% sales increase compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010, allowing us to exceed our revenue guidance. While we fell short of our guidance on net income and EPS, this was mostly due to litigation related expenses and stock compensation charge triggered by our strong performance in fiscal 2010. Without these expenses, we almost would have met our net income range provided in the guidance," stated Mr. Tao Li, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of China Green Agriculture.

"During this quarter we made substantial progress in many key areas of our business. With the integration process solidly on track, Gufeng's sales doubled from a year ago and they launched two new humic acid-based fertilizers as part of our strategic shift towards higher-margin products. Our new product development roll-out was complemented by the launch of four new humic-acid based liquid and powder fertilizer products by Jinong. Our nationwide distribution network continued its solid expansion into new provinces to reach a total of 755 distributors as Jinong added 10 new distributors while Gufeng added five. The construction of Yuxing [defined below] is also progressing well. In addition to the completion of the 100 sunlight greenhouses during the first quarter, which are now operational, six of the 12 intelligent greenhouses had been completed as of December 31, 2010."

Fiscal Year 2011 and the Third Quarter Guidance

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, management has

raised revenue guidance to a range of $155.0 million to $165.0 million due to the large export contract signed by Gufeng in this fiscal year.
lowered the net income guidance to a range of $31.5 million to $33.2 million due to additional legal and investor relations fees related to certain pending litigations.
reduced EPS guidance to a range of $1.17 to $1.24 based on 26.9 million weighted average shares.

For the third quarter ending March 31, 2011, management

expects revenues from in a range of $41.8 million to $43.6 million
net income in a range of $8.2 million to $8.6 million
EPS in a range of $0.31 to $0.32 based on 26.9 million weighted average shares.

This guidance reflects the anticipated strong sales resulting from the Company's incoming peak sales season as well as the larger sales force and better marketing efforts on the high-end fertilizer products.

Outlook

Chairman Li commented: "We continue to see great benefits ahead from the acquisition and integration of Gufeng, capacity expansion and product mix rebalancing. We expect further gains in efficiency, continued expansion of our sales network and additional roll-outs of more potent products both at Jinong and at Gufeng. Although unexpected litigation caused additional expenses for the Company in this past quarter, we will strive hard to earn better financial results to offset these litigation costs with additional revenues. We believe our enlarged portfolio of diversified and branded products combined with continued solid financial performance will position us well to capitalize on the inevitable consolidation in the highly fragmented Chinese fertilizer industry and to create value for our shareholders."

Shareholder Letters

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Dear Shareholders:

You may have seen news reports about a “research report” published on January 5, 2011, that accused China Green Agriculture of misrepresenting information relevant to our market and our sales. We have carefully analyzed that report and found that it is largely inaccurate, as it contains numerous factual misstatements and also presents other information in ways that are seriously misleading.

The report was issued by a small, “independent” company called J Capital Research, which
disclosed that it has clients with short positions in CGA stock and that it may also short our
Company’s stock. That means, of course, the clients of J Capital and J Capital itself, the
organization that published this report, will benefit financially if the price of our stock declines.

In keeping with our policy of communicating with our shareholders, we wanted to take you through the allegations made in this report and provide you with the facts.

1. The J Capital report alleges that CGA’s tax reports in China suggest that we have somehow inflated sales and revenue reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

This is untrue.

CGA has and will continue to fully and accurately report its sales and revenue figures to the SEC. As anyone familiar with business in China knows, there are sharply different reporting schedules, procedures and practices in China and the U.S., and that it is misleading to compare taxable revenue and tax payments in partial form. We are not aware of any company in China that reports revenue the same way to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”) as it does to the SEC. It is a widely-known and well-documented fact that reports filed with the SAIC, which is a general registry of companies in China, do not reflect the comprehensive income and financial condition of a company. SAIC is the designated government registrar for official corporate documents — such as articles of incorporation, business licenses, ownership, legal persons, and registered capital. In its review of these financial reports, the SAIC’s focus is on payment and authenticity of the Company's registered capital. Given this focus, Chinese companies, particularly small or middle size companies, do not file all of their financial information in order to avoid disclosing their operating metrics to competitors, suppliers and customers. To suggest, as the J Capital report does, that a discrepancy here reflects any wrongdoing or misinformation is both false and misleading.

2. The J Capital report expressed “surprise” that they could not find any CGA sales offices or online sales. Either J Capital is being intentionally misleading or they do not understand our business.

CGA uses a network of distributors to sell most of its products. We do not rely on sales offices. CGA has found it more cost effective to use distributors instead of sales offices because humic acid based fertilizers are sold mainly in liquid or powdered form that are far more expensive and compact than traditional NPK fertilizers. Our distributors need to be able to explain the
advantages of humic acid and educate farmers about its benefits and applications. This is the reason we don’t simply sell online.

3. The J Capital report citing anonymous sources, states that the market for humic acid is “collapsing.”

Again, this is not true.

The market for humic acid products is growing, and is reflected by published sales figures at CGA, where fertilizer sales rose 58.6 per cent in FY2010, and also at CGA’s peers. Humic acid is, in the farming world, a relatively high-end product that requires professional education about its benefits and special training for proper application. It is currently used by a relatively
small percentage of farmers in China’s vast countryside, which means there is a tremendous opportunity for growth. Anyone who has smelled a rose, or tasted an apple, grown in a properly-tended garden using humic acid can tell you about the noticeable advantages of premium fertilizer. In addition to its improvement of crop yields and quality, it helps balance the soil and enhance sustainability. This is critical in China, which must feed 22 per cent of the world’s population with only 7 per cent of global arable land. A survey released by China’s Ministry of Land and Resources revealed that the country has lost 8 million hectares, or 6.6 percent, of its arable land in the past decade due to urbanization, pollution and soil degradation. With a rising food crisis, China’s government is actively supporting smarter farming techniques, likely to further fuel the market for humic acid fertilizer. A “Humic Acid Green Fertilizer System” was approved by experts in a China Humic Acid Association conference, establishing the First Preparation Project in Rural Areas as part of the government’s ‘Twelfth Five-Year Plan.’ There are many independent research reports and articles that confirm the growing market in China for humic acid fertilizer. We will mention two recent reports here, for those interested in more information: “Market Research Report of Humic Acid Based Organic Liquid Fertilizer, 2008-2010,” by the Huajing Zongheng Economic Information Center of Beijing; and “Report on Market Investigation of Humid Acid Based Fertilizer in 2010” by S& P Consulting.

4. The suggestion by J Capital that CGA did not fully pay its VAT taxes, and was hiding money that had been accrued,

is alsowrong.

CGA has fully paid its local taxes, as evidenced by the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. These filings with the SEC correctly and accurately report corporate income tax payments made in China to the State Administration of Taxation. CGA’s fertilizers were not granted a VAT exemption in 2008, as alleged in the J Capital report. What happened was this:

In Aril, 2008, China’s State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”), together with the Ministry of Finance, issued a Notice of Value Added Tax Exemption on Organic Fertilizer Products. However, there was confusion at the local SAT over exactly which type of fertilizers were entitled to the VAT exemption. The local SAT for Shaanxi Province did not allow applicants to apply for an exemption until it received clarification from the SAT in Spring 2009 on what kind of fertilizers were exempt. After such clarification was given, CGA promptly filed its formal application to the local authorities. The exemption was granted in September 2009. So CGA was required to accrue VAT (and pay VAT) on almost all of its products until the exemption took effect in September 2009.

CGA also paid its corporate income taxes. During the course of the year, CGA subsidiaries record deferred tax liabilities and/or assets, just as many U.S. companies do, but do not make payments until year-end. From a GAAP standpoint, that looks like a delayed payment. But in the Chinese system it is common practice. The fact is that CGA did pay its corporate income taxes in full. And it did so on an annual basis, with the full knowledge of the SAT. Again, the filings submitted to SEC are consistent with the filings to SAT.

5. The J Capital report insinuates that because we did not name the seller with respect to a property transaction in Xi’an, we may be “self dealing.”

Again, this is not true.

CGA fully reported all aspects of the property transaction in Xi’an Hu County in its 2010 SEC filings, including the total cost of approximately $10.8 million. The previous tenant was also clearly named in real estate documents that were publicized in a 2010 report by an organization called “IFRA” (which does not have any business registration in China, Hong Kong or the U.S.), and which was widely quoted by J Capital. As anyone who is familiar with the way and sales occur in China knows, land is owned by the government in China and land-use rights are transferable for a price. In the case of CGA’s Xi’an property purchase, there are three distinct elements: (1) Payment of a land transfer fee to the previous owner, a state-owned enterprise, of approximately $8.1 million for giving up its current land-use rights; (2) Payment to the local government (including deed tax and registration fees) of approximately $2.7 million for land use rights, a standard fee assessed to compensate the government to obtain approval for the land use rights; and (3) Appraisal and survey fees of about $10,000. The land in question was independently appraised at $11.2 million, or approximately 3.6% more than CGA paid. Comparable transactions in the same area attest to a relatively consistent market.

6. The J Capital report alleged that CGA overpaid for its Gufeng subsidiary. It erroneously reported that CGA paid $48 million for the Gufeng acquisition.

The facts show these statements are not true.

CGA acquired Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co. for a fair market price of $8.8 million in cash plus 2,275,931 shares of CGA common stock, as it reported to the SEC. The only way we can figure that J Capital came up with their $48 million price for the Gufeng subsidiary acquisition was to multiply the 2.275 million shares by $17 (which was close to the all-time high price of CGA), rather than using the price determined on the transaction date, roughly half of that. In addition, CGA’s management constructed the terms for the deal specifying 40% of the shares to be placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions such as ”make good” targets of $88.4 million in revenue and $10.6 million in net profit for Gufeng for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. As a result, if the earn-out conditions are not met, and the escrowed shares are forfeited, the total consideration would be significantly less. J Capital alleged we paid a “huge” multiple for Gufeng. The multiple was actually well under 3x.

J Capital’s mathematical error aside, CGA did not, in our view, overpay for this acquisition. There were several compelling reasons for our acquiring this company: Gufeng provides a complimentary product line, which greatly expands CGA’s sales abilities; Gufeng has good production facilities; Gufeng has a strong management team; Gufeng’s headquarters in Beijing offers increased penetration into markets in northern China. In fact, on Jan. 6, 2011, Gufeng finalized a contract to export 165,000 metric tons of fertilizer with Sino-Agri, to buyers in India, reflecting a sharp increase in CGA’s export capacity.

CGA did not, as the J Capital report alleged, pay working capital to Gufeng as purchase price payments. A Supplementary Agreement on July 1, 2010, specified that CGA would lend RMB 100 million (approximately $14.7 million) of working capital to Gufeng after the acquisition in order to facilitate its expansion by helping to reach full utilization of production capacity,
purchase more raw materials and enhance marketing activities. To date, CGA has loaned Gufeng RMB 50 million, which was expected to be paid back in the future. That amount is separate from the purchase price.

7. J Capital suggested the CGA’s margins were “improbable.”

Once again, the only way we can figure they came to this conclusion was that they don’t understand our Company. We assume they looked at our financials as though we were a conventional compound fertilizer manufacturer.

In fact, humic acid fertilizers come in a variety of concentrated forms and are not a plain commodity like traditional fertilizers, which have standard content specifications and require negligible education before application. As a result, gross margins for humic acid fertilizer suppliers are far higher than those for traditional fertilizer suppliers, which are typically 5-15%. It is misleading to compare an old-fashioned commodity business model that needs little explanation or education for its users with a more modern business model based on quality, brand-name awareness and customer service. CGA’s gross margins are higher still, above those of its peers in the humic acid business, largely because of CGA’s value-added, higher-margin liquid based humic acid fertilizers and its fully-automated production line. In addition, CGA’s more efficient business model, with central control of cash, inventory and operations, contributes to the higher net margin that CGA has over its peers who generally operate
in multiple locations with smaller capacity at each plant. Here is yet another example of how the J Capital report demonstrates it doesn’t understand CGA or the industry in which CGA operates. We don’t understand how J Capital came up with a net margin of 30% for Gufeng. It was certainly not from Gufeng’s historical financials in our SEC filings, nor from the “make good” targets of $88.4 million in revenue and $10.6 million in net profit as expected for fiscal 2011, which would convert to a net margin of less than 12%.

8. The J Capital report states that CGA engages in dubious related-party transactions.

This is not true.

There have been no “dubious” transactions between CGA and Kingtone Wireless Information Inc. One is an agriculture products company, while the other is a technology company. One of Kingtone’s specialties is automation technology for offices as well as factories. The two companies have co-existed in an office building in Xi’an for 10 years; there have been only three material transactions between them during that time, and they were conducted at market prices: (1) Kingtone technology was used in the system integration of
high-efficiency, high-capacity agriculture facilities; (2) It was used to create automated fertilizer production lines; and (3) It is being used for the development of new electronic control systems for “smart greenhouses.”

9. The J Capital Report states that CGA executives receive excessive stock-based compensation.

This statement is not true.

As the founder of CGA, I was issued 3,156,808 “make good” shares and 6,535,675 call option shares in December 2007, which were recorded properly as part of the purchase price under the reverse merger but not a compensation expense at the time of its issuance. All these shares, according to the “make good” escrow agreement and call option agreement, represent a return of shares in compliance with China’s laws and regulations. I gave up my controlling equity interest in Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGA, without receiving any compensation. These shares formed my only consideration in the disposal of my controlling entity which had revenue and net income of $15.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in the year ended June 30, 2007. These shares were issued in December 2007 and were then considered as part of the outstanding shares in the earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation. Anyone who knows basic accounting would understand that there is no future dilution to shareholders when shares were returned, much less the 30% dilution that J Capital alleged.

Other incentive shares issued to other directors, staffs and service providers were within the normal compensation arrangement based on the compensation study provided by an independent compensation consulting firm engaged by the compensation committee.

10. Despite assertions in the J Capital report to the contrary, CGA did not misrepresent who our suppliers are, or misreport the technology we use.

CGA holds two significant technology patents, which give it an edge over competitors. One patent is related to the method for preparing water-soluble fertilizer containing humic acid; the other is related to the apparatus that produces it. J Capital accuses CGA of purchasing humic acid from another Chinese company, Taiyuan Meibang Biotech Development Company. This is true. We bought fertilizer products not only from Meibang, but also from other fertilizer rivals. As a leading humic acid fertilizer manufacturer, we monitor the development of products by other companies in the market and constantly procure sample quantities for comparative analysis and experimental testing with our own products. In the Meibang case, CGA started to purchase humic acid potassium from Meibang in August 2009, and CGA only used it in fertilizer research and development of humic acid potassium for comparative field testing and experimental design of a new fertilizer formula. We have not bought any products from Meibang since June 2010.

11. J Capital also alleged that Shanghai Luyeyuan said it was not selling CGA-branded products.

In fact, Shanghai Luyeyuan’s branch in Henan Province has been selling CGA’s products for over seven years and is one of the prime distributors in CGA’s distribution network. After the J Capital report came out, at least one U.S. analyst asked to interview senior management at
Shanghai Luyeyuan, and executives at Shanghai Luyeyuan agreed to speak with the analyst directly to confirm their working relationship with CGA.

12. J Capital also said it was “perplexed” that CGA’s annual report in FY2010 cited that weathered coals constituted only 0.37 per cent of the Company’s raw material costs.

That figure is accurate, and it represents the particularly low price of weathered coal, which is a waste product of coal mining companies. While it is a valuable source of humic acid for CGA, coal miners are happy to get rid of it, hence the low price. Furthermore, the author of the J Capital report apparently confused the percentage of weathered coal costs with the percentage of humic acid concentration in finished products. All of CGA’s humic acid based fertilizers have clear specifications about the humic acid concentration along with other ingredients on the packaging label. It is the same with common multi-vitamin supplements, where a tiny percentage of raw material costs do not correlate to the percentage of nutrients listed in the table on a vitamin bottle.

13. J Capital alleges that they were blocked from obtaining information.

This is not true.

CGA has consistently welcomed inquiries and visitors to our headquarters and transparently provides information about all relevant aspects of our production, management and sales. Any number of shareholders, analysts and potential investors can attest to that. The author of the report in fact attended meetings with Company executives. She did not call ahead, but showed up unannounced, refusing to identify herself and surreptitiously and disruptively tried to interview Company employees, and to obtain proprietary customer information. Just prior to releasing her report, she emailed the Company during a holiday period and then reported that “repeated requests” for information were rebuffed. It is interesting to note that when Rene Vanguestaine, CEO of CGA’s investor relations firm, referred to the IFRA allegations and the company’s rebuttal in press releases during the meeting with her in Beijing a few hours before
she published the report, the author denied knowing about the IFRA report. Yet her report relies on and cites the IFRA report repeatedly.

The foregoing are the main issues raised in the report, but there are other factual errors littered throughout. Whether from a lack of accounting knowledge, a poor understanding of Chinese business practices, or an intent to mislead, the author makes countless errors, including on information which is readily available in public filings or press releases.

On September 13, 2010, CGA received a letter from the SEC requesting that it voluntarily provide information in connection with an informal inquiry. Since being contacted by the SEC, CGA has provided the SEC with all the information it has requested. The Company’s U.S.-based lawyers have also made a voluntary presentation to the SEC. CGA is fully cooperating with the SEC in its informal inquiry. CGA has not received any subpoenas.

I hope you find this letter helpful. We remain open to any questions you may have, and are happy to hear from you at any time. We want to thank you for your continued interest in and support of our Company. Please be assured that we are working very
hard to maximize shareholder value.

Sincerely,
Tao Li
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
China Green Agriculture, Inc.

Rodman & Renshaw on CGA

F1Q10 results: Maintain Market Perform Rating

China Green Agriculture (“China Green”, Ticker: CGA, Market Perform) reported its F1Q11 results that were more or less in-line with expectations. Net revenue grew 250% YoY to $39.5 million, beating both Street consensus and our estimate of $38.4 million. The newly acquired Gufeng subsidiary was the major revenue contributor with $21.8 million, or 55.2% of the total revenue. The Jinong subsidiary contributed $16.6 million, or 42% of the total revenue. The Jintai unit, which produced agricultural products, registered a flat YoY sales performance, generating $1.1 million of revenue. The Yuxing unit had no revenue for the past quarter. Gross margin for F1Q10 declined YoY to 33.3%, below our estimate of 37.3%. A higher sales component of lower-margined granular fertilizer products, mostly from Gufeng, was a major reason for the decline in gross margin. Operating income for the quarter was $9.6 million, up 55% YoY and higher than our expectation of $9.1 million. Net income was $7.8 million, up 48% YoY and in-line with our estimate, but a touch shy of the $7.9 million Street consensus. Diluted EPS for F1Q10 was $0.30, a shade above our estimate of $0.29 but in-line with the Street consensus. At the end of September, the company had $53.9 million of cash and cash equivalent.

FY2011 guidance maintained

The company maintained its FY2011 guidance, with total revenue of $150.5-$152.8 million, net income of $36.2-$36.8 million, and EPS of $1.35-$1.37 (based on 26.8 million weighted average shares). For the next quarter (F2Q11), the company expects to realize $33.1-33.3 million of revenue, $7.76-7.86 million of net income, and $0.29 of EPS (based on 26.9 million weighted average shares).

Adjusting estimates and maintain Market Perform rating

We have tweaked our financial model in accordance with the F1Q11 performance. For F2Q11, we now expect the company will realize $33.3 million of revenue, $6.8 million of net income, and $0.26 of EPS. For full year F2011, we estimate total revenue of $151.8 million, net income of $32.8 million, and $1.25 of EPS. We are maintaining our Market Perform/Speculative Risk rating on the shares of China Green. While the past quarter's financial performance was overall in-line with expectations, we believe uncertainties remain with regard to the company's integration of Gufeng and slower organic growth. In addition, while we had anticipated significant margin compression due to increased sales of lower-margin granular fertilizers, the actual F1Q11 gross margin figure was 400bps below our already lowered estimate. Thus we will keep a close eye on the company's margin trend during the upcoming quarters. We continue to like the company's long term growth potential; however in the short term we are taking a more conservative approach, both in our financial projections and our rating.

Liquidity Requirements

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 05:00:00 GMT

We intend to use some remaining net proceeds from the Public Offerings (approximately $15.0 million) to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete the greenhouse facilities for agriculture products of Yuxing located on 88-acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an city. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing for expansion purposes, which may include additional equity financings.

GeoTeam® Note:

Upon our initial inspection a few things stand out

Although Gufeng sales approximate CGA levels, gross profit margins are significantly less.
Cash balance is virtually non-existent.
Inventory represents 85.6% of sales.
Very small account receivable position compared to inventory levels.
Net working capital deficit and thus current ratio of under 1 to 1. (Mainly due to a big unearned revenue balance).
shareholder equity of only $4.6 million compared to CGA of $129 million.

In essence, CGA paid close to 9 times net income for a firm, that at first glance, has worse fundamentals than CGA or many ChinaHybrid firms we follow. This is even more eye opening as CGA had no problem offering their stock at ?? times earnings in its last two raises.

We asked CPA and GeoContributor, Dan France, to possibly shed some light on this topic. We have speculated that maybe the large unearned revenue figure is somewhat related to inventory levels.

Dan's input:

According to Ken Ren in the fiscal 2010 first quarter conference call, Gufeng was operating with 10% gross margin . An explanation for Unearned Revenue, high inventory and low AR is customers prepaying for product in exchange of favorable (fire sale prices?) pricing.

The Company may have been in need for cash and possibly followed the practice of accepting prepayments from customers in exchange for selling at distressed prices. A risk is will CGA lose some of those customers when they raise the rent?

Net, property, plant & equipment tells me the assets were at least 50% depreciated. Cap ex plans include major upgrade of production lines.

CGA thinks they can eventually generate 30% gross margins from the Gufeng after upgrades and with improved management. If they can, the acquisition could prove to be a good deal provided they hang on to existing business and also sell liquid fertilizer to granular customers. Also, Gufeng is strong in Northern China where CGA has limited presence.

Greetings and welcome to the China Green Agriculture, Inc. Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010 Earnings Call. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.

It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Ted Haberfield from HC International. Thank you, you may begin.

Ted Haberfield – HC International – Executive Vice President

Thank you and welcome everyone to China Green Agriculture's quarterly conference call, which will cover fourth quarter fiscal 2010 financial and operating results. The earnings release accompanying this conference call went to the wire a moment ago before the close of the market or at the end of the market. On our call today is Mr. Tao Li, Chairman, CEO, and President, and Mr. Ken Ren, the company's Chief Financial Officer.

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I am very pleased with the progress that we have made in the past 12 months and would like to share our major achievements on this call ... We are also aware of rumors about the company and will be addressing them on this call and will be available for questions after our prepared remarks. Thank you.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Let me spend a few minutes updating you on a few of our strategic initiatives. In the fiscal year 2010, we introduced 23 new products, including nine new high margin liquid fertilizer products in the fourth quarter alone. We added 43 new distributors during the past twelve months bringing our total number of distributors to 573 number of distributors. Having signed agreements with existing distributors to becoming authorized reseller of our products in 608 of their retail stores, we are aggressively expanding our distribution. Finally, we have opened 15 directly-owned stores since launching our pilot program in January 2010. The Company owned and operated stores enhanced China Green Agriculture brands in new markets where we do not compete our existing distributors. In June, we completed each one of our research and development centers, completing the construction of a hundred sunlight greenhouses on our 88 acre facility in Beijing. The land purchase prior subsidy reported in our SEC filing is accurate and truly reflects the total cost per U.S. debt. The transaction was constructed through a land transfer acquisition from a state owned entity. It was not conducted at a public auction from the Land and the Natural Resource Bureau. The purchase cost was reported at approximately $10.8 million, which included our land transfer fee, land compensation fee, land use rights transfer fee, state tax, registration fee, survey and mapping fee, and appraisal fee.

The land purchase prior subsidy reported in our SEC filing is accurate and truly reflects the total cost per U.S. debt. The transaction was constructed through a land transfer acquisition from a state owned entity. It was not conducted at a public auction from the Land and the Natural Resource Bureau. The purchase cost was reported at approximately $10.8 million, which included our land transfer fee, land compensation fee, land use rights transfer fee, state tax, registration fee, survey and mapping fee, and appraisal fee.

In July, we completed seedling conservation and expected seedling transportation, transplantation, for this a hundred greenhouses by October 2010. We were also on schedule to complete Phase II of the project, which includes the construction of 12 intelligent greenhouses by the end of calendar year 2011. Once completed, this new research and development opportunity will allow us to introduce more customized, higher margin fertilizer products and the conservation of more agriculture products.

We also launched nine new liquid-based fertilizer products, accounting for almost 4% of our fertilizer revenues in the fourth quarter. We also added 21 new distributors during the quarter and selected over 300 stores as China Green Agriculture authorized retailers of our JiNong branded humic acid-based compound fertilizer products. We need to first lay the foundation for sustained growth in our fully line product and revenues and profit margins.

In July, we closed our acquisition of Gufeng and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjuyuan for a total purchase price of approximately $31.8 million in cash and stock as we disclosed in our 8-K filed on July 7, 2010. We also intend to provide up to $14.7 million to Gufeng for their working capital needs in the future as needed.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 Gufeng’s revenue increased 22.4% to $17.1 million, and net income increased 46.8% to $1.1 million. We continue to believe that Gufeng will contribute at least 88.4% in revenue and at least $10.6 million in net income for the fiscal 2011, which will end on June 30, 2011. I will provide a detailed breakdown of our financial projections regarding Gufeng in a minute when I discuss our fiscal year 2011 guidance.

Let me review the strategic rationale for this acquisition. Gufeng improves our competitive position in three ways. It provides us with significantly greater capacity to 355k metric tons per year, it advances our distribution by 26.0% to over 700 distributors, and it broadens our portfolio of organic and non-organic fertilizer to serve a larger base of customers. We have already discussed several images with Gufeng’s management team that we will implement over the next 3 to 12 months.

Now, our guidance, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, we are forecasting revenues of $150.5 million to $152.8 million, net income of $36.2 million to $36.8 million, and earnings per share of $1.35 to $1.37 based on $26.8 million weighted average shares with presenting growth of 188%, 72.6%, and 49.5%, respectively.

For the first quarter ended September 30, 2010, we expect revenues of $38.2 million to $38.6 million, net income of $7.7 million to $8.0 million, and earnings per share of $0.29 to $0.30 based on $26.8 million weighted average shares.

This guidance reflects the anticipated strong sales resulting from the Company's increased production capacity from 55k metric tons to 355k metric tons, which reflect a full year contribution from Gufeng incorporating our consolidated fiscal year 2011, financial guidance is approximately $88.4 million of revenue and $10.6 million of net income from Gufeng.

Currently, one-third of Gufeng's 300k metric tons production facility is capable of producing organic compound fertilizers. We plan to invest $7.7 million in capital expenditures for Gufeng, which include $1.3 million to convert existing 100k metric tons of production facility from chemical fertilizers to higher market humic acid-based organic compound fertilizers with full conversions to be completed by the end of the calendar year 2010. In addition, we will also spend $6.3 million to build a new 200k metric ton production line, which will produce humic acid organic compound fertilizers with construction beginning this September and the production commencing by March 2011. Upon completion Gufeng's production capacity will increase by 66.0% to 500k metric tons, out of which 400k metric tons will be producing humic acid-based organic compound fertilizers.

In addition, we will spend approximately $14.7 million on working capital to ramp up Gufeng's production utilization from the current 60.0% to 80.0% by annual fiscal 2012. Once we are able to fully transition Gufeng's production and distribution to our target levels, we expect a $140 million in revenue contribution from Gufeng in fiscal 2012. We also expect Gufeng's gross margin to improve from approximately 10.0% in the fiscal third quarter ended March 2010 to 20% by the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Finally, we expect Gufeng to introduce 15 new products and add over 30 new distributors in the fiscal year 2010, two months after closing acquisition. Management remains very confident about the financial and strategic benefits that this acquisition will provide for our Company and to our shareholders.

Before I conclude my prepared remarks, I would like to discuss our strong operating model. We ended fiscal year 2010 with over $62 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt on our balance sheet, $86.2 million of working capital generated $12.2 million of cash flows from operation, and have minimal bad debt exposure.

We were able to sustain a healthy growth in profits and cash flows for several reasons. Our value-added products increased our customers' yields; thereby, improving their sales and profits. We have a significant opportunity to grow our market share in a highly risk fragmented fertilizer market in China by introducing new products and expanding in new territories.

The ongoing research and development efforts and significantly expanded manufacturing capacity and the product portfolio from Gufeng provides the foundation of future growth. In September 2009, JiNong was granted with a value-added tax exemption from September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2015 by the Local Taxation Bureau. We have ongoing productivity discussions with local and central government officials about ways we can help reduce pollution and improve the welfare of newer farmers.

On the corporate governance front, we are committed by abiding the high standards that comes with being a NYSE-listed Company. As such, management is evaluating and looking to implement specific action items to help us accomplish this goal. I, along with the rest of our management team and board of directors, remain extremely confident in our ability to execute and with the integrity of our financial controls to ensure accurate and complete reporting. We look forward to providing you with current updates on improvements we make in this regard.

This concludes our prepared remarks for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. I would now like to invite listeners to ask any questions you may have with Chairman Mr. Li and myself.

Moderator

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. (Operator Instructions) Our first question is with Ingrid Yen with Brean Murray, please go ahead with your questions.

Ingrid Yen – Brean Murray

Hello, everyone. Hello, can you hear me?

Moderator

Yes, we can hear you.

Ingrid Yen – Brean Murray

Great. My first question is about the assumptions you made in your guidance for 2011. How much of this will be coming from your existing operation and how much this will come from the Gufeng operation you acquired?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

For Gufeng, we expected that we will contribute revenue $88.4 million, and then for net income contribution, we will contribute $10.4 million.

Ingrid Yen – Brean Murray

Okay, $10.4 million or $10.6 million? I remember in the press release, is it $10.6 million?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Specifically, we expected that the sales from JiNong is about 40.5% in the next year's guidance, and 4.1% from Jintai, and 50.5% from Gufeng. And then for all our using the new research and development, the revenue contributions is still immaterial, less than 0.5%.

Ingrid Yen – Brean Murray

Okay, great, thank you.

Moderator

Our next question is from Tim Tiberio with Charting Capital Markets, please go ahead with your questions.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

My first question is, what is the current capacity utilization of your organic facilities?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

The current utilization of our organic facilities is around 40%.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

Okay.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

That's like 37% to 40%.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

I guess at Gufeng, you probably haven't released this yet, but what was the capacity utilization rate at the end of June?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Around 60%.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

Okay. And then one other question, I know there's been a lot of questions around tax returns for a lot of these Chinese companies. There's been some issues raised between the VAT tax that appears to have been accrued and was being paid to the Chinese tax authorities.

I guess my first question is, can you walk us through that if there is a difference? And then secondly, how can investors actually get tax returns from the Chinese Central Government? We've heard that due to privacy laws actually getting consolidated tax form is very difficult. So just hoping that maybe you could address that.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Okay, with respect to that question, I will let Mr. Li address it, and I will translate for him, hold on for a second.

(Chinese Language)

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

Translator

I understand there are some rumors. People are concerned about the taxes that we filed with the local government. What I want to emphasize here is the value added taxes and the income taxes that we paid to the taxation bureaus are complete. The information out there is showing partial data and we would be more than happy to share with you our information which matched exactly to what we filed to the SEC.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

OK. Maybe I can take that off line.

My last question, obviously you have quite a bit of cash on your balance sheet outside of some of your R&D investment. Is there any thought about how else you might look to deploy that cash over the next few quarters?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Yes, I can address that question. For the fiscal year 2011, we have certain capital expenditure budgets, specifically we will allocate to our three subsidiaries. With regard to Gufeng, like I already touched base in the prepared remarks, we will upgrade one existing production line, which has metric ton capacity of 100,000 by spending RMB 9 million, which is roughly equivalent to $1.5 million. And we will also install a new production line for Gufeng to produce humic acid based organic compound fertilizer. Under the new production line, we will have the production capacity of 200,000 metric tons. So in total, after these capital expenditures plans, Gufeng’s capacity will increase by 66%, and the new production line is budgeted at RMB 43 million, which is roughly $7 million.

And then for our research and development center …, we budgeted 85 million in RMB. That can be translated into $13 million U.S. dollars and specifically, we will continue to spend RMB 21 million for the sunlight greenhouses, that’s roughly $3 million. And then we will spend RMB 35 million for the intelligent greenhouse that we already planned, and the budget for that piece is RMB 35 million. So, RMB 35 million is roughly $6 million U.S. dollars. We will also spend less than RMB 1 million in some dormitory building construction, and then we will spend another RMB 12 million, which is less than $2 million in related projects, such as weather pipelines and …well drilling. Then we will also spend another RMB 12 million for some other infrastructure connection projects to get our facilities integrated with the network.

And then similarly with our JiNong, the liquid and organic fertilizer business, we will spend some additional less than $2 million U.S. dollars for cap ex to improve the existing production capacity and some other related small projects. So, that’s a total RMB 12 million, less than $2 million U.S. dollars. So that’s our cap ex plan for the next fiscal year.

Tim Tiberio – Charting Capital Markets

OK, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

You’re welcome.

Our next question is from John Hickey with Cohen Capital. Please go ahead with your question.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

Yes, thanks for taking my questions. The first question I have relates to your land purchase. You had mentioned it earlier, but I may have missed something, it was $10.8 million as the reported purchase price, but the official records are $2.5 million. Could you go over the reconciliation between those two amounts one more time?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Sure, we will be more than happy to give you certain details of our land acquisition. Actually, we received inquiries on this land acquisition from investors and media. There are some understandings of the land property market in China. I would like to emphasize that. This land acquisition was purchased from a state owned enterprise through a private transaction, not from the government. So, in terms of reconciliation, we paid a total of $10.7 million U.S. dollars, which is the equivalent of $73.2 million. The fee items we paid to the government constitute land granting fee of $5.2 million and land compensation fee of $12.1 million. In addition to that, we paid the seller $54.8 million in terms of land use transfer fee and on top of all these fees, we also paid other miscellaneous charges, such as fee tax, land use rights, reservation fee, mapping fees, survey fee, appraisal fee. So in total, that’s 73.2 million RMB, equivalent to $10.7 million U.S. dollars.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

OK, so for this kind of transaction, this private acquisition from the state owned enterprise where the purchase price is $2.5 million, is it normal for the fees and the rights and everything that you just described to be four times the land purchase price?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Actually, I would like to reemphasize that. The $2.8 million includes just the land granting fee and the land compensation fee. That’s just a part of the total land purchase price. And the majority of the land purchase price is paid to the seller in terms of land use transfer fee.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

OK. Thanks.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

I would like to also reemphasize that in China, the land transaction can either be conducted by the government through public auction or private transaction, and in our case, it was executed through private transaction. Then lately, there have been similar land transactions in a neighboring area. For instance, in July 2010 in the same city, same suburb and area, three land transactions auctioned by the government at roughly $120,000 per acre for project use purpose, for industrial project purpose use. That’s through the auction transaction. The total cost we paid is close to prices by the local government through auction channel constituting land granting fee and land compensation fee, totaled at $120,000 U.S. dollars per acre.

For ours, the land price we paid is in the same ballpark, roughly $120,000 U.S. dollars per acre. And then nearby, the closest facility area, the land price per acre is in the ballpark of $2-3 million U.S. dollars per acre. And then if we rationale the purchase price of $2.8 million U.S. dollars of the total 88 acres of our transaction, it can be translated to an amount that our land per acre price is at $20,000-$30,000 U.S. dollars. So that’s an unachievable price, in today’s China property market, that’s impossible price. It’s just an impossible price that one can acquire at such a low level. It’s physically a joke on local property market.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

OK, thank you for shedding light on that issue.

Shifting gears for a second, you mentioned earlier Gufeng’s profitability at $1.1 million, what period was that for?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

That’s for – you mentioned in Gufeng, right?

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

Yes.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

OK, that period is for January through March in calendar year 2010.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

OK, what was the revenue last period?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Just a second. I think we disclosed that in a related 8-K and then the revenue for that quarter period is $17 million.

John Hickey, Cohen Capital

OK. That wraps up my questions. Thanks very much for helping me understand.

The next question is from Emma Zhao with Roth Capital Partners. Please go ahead with your question.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

Hi. Can you hear me?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Yes, we can hear you clearly.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

This is Emma from Roth Capital. I’m filling in for Howard Zhou. I know that you have talked about the land acquisition in detail, so I won’t bother you with that. My question is that your stock is trading at a pretty low valuation right now, and you have a very strong cash balance and cash flow. Would you consider any share buyback plan in the future?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

With respect to that question, I will ask Mr. Li to answer.

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

[Chinese spoken]

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

[Chinese spoken]

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

We are considering a share buyback action. However, I would like to remind everybody that this action item is subject to the approval of our board of directors. As the board of directors has not discussed such action item yet, again, we will participate in such meeting and then such action items will be feasible or possible for the nearby future.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

Is there a plan for the board meeting? Have you submitted a proposal?

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

[Chinese spoken]

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

OK, thank you.

My next question is, I know that the Gufeng facility will contribute to your sales and earnings next quarter. Could you shed any light on the gross margin expectations for the next quarter when Gufeng starts to contribute?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

We understand that Gufeng has limited earnings quality. However, from the CGA standpoint, CGA has the capability to launch appropriate growth plan and has the ability to execute that plan and exceed investor expectations. We believe that Gufeng will provide an excellent foundation for CGA’s specific growth expansion and this will help us to conduct a successful new horizontal integration, and we believe that the management from Gufeng is very capable for integration with our existing management. In time, we believe that it will be proved to be a very successful acquisition.

In terms of margin, I can answer you that right now the Gufeng’s profit margin, the gross profit margin, is roughly 10%. By our strategic initiative at Gufeng, such as upgrading their production line and installing a new production line with injecting our humic acid proprietary technology, the margin will improve from the current low level to about 20% by the fiscal year 2012. So, we will prove that we have the ability to turn this acquisition into a very good one.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

So it will increase to 20% in 2012? What about next year? Will it increase gradually or will it remain in the low 10 to teens margin?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

In our projection and our expansion plans with Gufeng, we will need three to nine months to fully turn the project plan into fully operable, so that by the fiscal year 2011, the margin will be ramped up.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

So, roughly 20%?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Yes.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

Is there a premium gross margin that you are targeting for that granular business, for Gufeng? Is 20% a premium gross margin that you’re targeting or is there room to improve?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

This is our initial goal and we believe there is space to improve.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

OK, so it will actually improve – just that we are targeting, like, 20% in fiscal year 2011 and 2012. Am I right?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Can you repeat your question?

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

Is there room for improvement for margin going forward, but we are just targeting 20% for fiscal year 2011 and 2012?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

That’s roughly a fair expectation of 20% in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012.

Emma Zhao, Roth Capital Partners

OK, that’s all the questions I have. Thank you.

The next question is from Louis Fan with Rodman and Renshaw. Please go ahead.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

Hi, thanks for taking my question. Congratulations on a strong quarter, Chairman Li and Mr. Ren.

First of all, I just want to clarify something that I think I have heard from Ken during his earlier announcement. Did you say that the company is building a new facility starting in September that when completed will increase the company’s annual production capacity from 355,000 metric tons to 500,000 metric tons. Is that correct?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Yes, that is correct. That’s for Gufeng. We add, for Gufeng, only for Gufeng, we add additional 200,000 metric tons.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Starting this September, and it will take at least 6 months to complete installation.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK, because initially based on the company’s previous press release, and also actually in your current press release, you say the Gufeng facility can increase the company’s production capacity to 355,000 metric tons, so there’s an additional 145,000 metric tons.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

There’s additional 200,000, so in total that will be 555,000 metric tons.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK, 555,000, thank you. So you expect the expansion will start in September and when can it get completed?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

It will take at least 6 months for the new production installation to continue.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK, thank you.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

After March 2011.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK. The next question is, you indicated that the company has this new distribution plus retail branding strategy, and in fact you have opened 15 direct-owned retail stores. So, does that mean the company is switching its distribution strategy away from distributors, or is this going to be somewhat of a healthy balance between distributors and retailers, with emphasis on distributors?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

I think the real case is that we’re still focusing on our core marketing channel through distributors, not retailers. The retail store program is somewhat complementary. It is more like a balancing rather than a strategic shift in sales and distribution.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK. Next question, this will be a quick one. What is the average selling price of JiNong products in the quarter?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

It’s roughly $2,100 U.S. dollars per metric ton.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK. One more question. There appears to be some difference between the VAT tax accrued and what was paid to the Chinese tax authority. Can you please help us understand what occurred there, and reconcile the difference?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

I’ll let Mr. Li answer and I will translate.

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

[Chinese spoken]

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

I would like to emphasize that the actual value added tax we submitted or we paid to the Chinese government is exactly consistent with the amount we have filed with the SEC. So according to the government record, the tax payment exactly matches with each other. So, in terms of the rumors and the anonymous report, we’re not sure where the report comes from and that information appeared to be incomplete and inaccurate. Again, we were waived the value added tax from the majority of our humic acid based organic fertilizer product from September 2009. It was since then that our product is not subject to accrual of value added tax, the majority of our organic fertilizer products. However, there are still some other products, but the majority is waived from the value added tax.

Louis Fan, Rodman and Renshaw

OK, thank you very much.

We have time for one last question. The last question is from Echo He from Maxim Group. Please go ahead.

Echo He, Maxim Group

Hi, Ken, thank you for taking my question. Could you explain in more detail how you’re going to grow your sales, given that you are adding this big amount of capacity? And also you’re converting Gufeng’s capacity mostly to organic fertilizer, so that probably will be different from Gufeng’s original distribution for customers. So how are you going to deal with this situation and grow your sales through your own distribution network.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

We will emphasize our growth through our core distribution network expansion by adding new distributors. And concurrently, as we have illustrated and we have already achieved, by adding new product timely and effectively and proactively. So, in the past two summer quarters you can see that both added new products contribute potentially for our net income… That’s where we’re going to continue to focus by launching new products, setting up new distributors. The original program will serve as supplementary.

And then with respect to Gufeng, we feel that our current need or focus is to replicate or articulate Gufeng’s production capacity into compatible or integral production facilities to our product offering plan. So that’s why we budget … cap ex to upgrade their existing production facility and the new production facility.

And then by that time, the majority of Gufeng’s production capacity will be capable of delivering humic acid organic compound fertilizers and then organic humic acid based fertilizer will be our mainstream. By delivering the humic acid asset compound fertilizer through our unique marketing and distribution channel work, we can actually improve on product margins.

Echo He, Maxim Group

Are you going to change your Gufeng current customers to a new customer base because they’re using chemical fertilizers - you’re converting to organic and chemical fertilizers, right? Compound fertilizers? [Chinese spoken]

Tao Li – China Green Agriculture – Chairman, CEO, and President

[Chinese spoken]

Echo He, Maxim Group

OK, I understand.

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

Yes, with respect to Gufeng’s existing customer base, although currently these customers are more like inorganic chemical fertilizer users, by upgrading Gufeng’s production facility to become more organic fertilizer oriented, then those customers will be welcoming equivalent new products after our production line expansion and upgrading. And then each customer base will gradually shift from inorganic fertilizer oriented base customer population to a compound organic fertilizer base customer population. For those who are sticking to the chemical fertilizer, Gufeng will keep a small portion of their production capacity to focus on the chemical fertilizer production so that each chemical fertilizer customer’s need will still be met. By integrating Gufeng’s sales force with JiNong’s sales and marketing force, we believe that the total marketing strength will be enhanced by effective integration.

… Hee, Maxim Group

OK, great. The receivables – since Gufeng has just so many customers and such high sales, would you expect the receivables will grow at the same December scale as the sales in the next fiscal year?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

I would also like to emphasize that Gufeng’s accounts receivable collection is different and that they have certain customer concentration, higher level of customer concentration. We believe that by continuing to expand their customer base, account receivables level will gradually improve.

Echo He, Maxim Group

What’s the current receivable base for Gufeng?

Ken Ren – China Green Agriculture – Chief Financial Officer

With regard to Gufeng, the account receivables, I think we reported it in the related 8-K and you’re more than welcome to check it out. As of now, we are subject to the following obligation at the Roth Conference, but we would be more than happy to discuss that with you later.

Echo He, Maxim Group

OK, thank you so much.

Analyst Reports

Rodman & Renshaw on CGA:

F4Q10 results overview: China Green Agriculture (“China Green”, Ticker: CGA, Market Perform) reported its F4Q10 results that on balance exceeded our expectations. Total revenue grew 54.5% YoY to $16.2 million, beating our estimate of $14.8 million and Street consensus of $15.1 million. The growth was primarily driven by Jinong branded fertilizer products, which grew 61.4% YoY to $15.3 million and accounted for 94.2% of total sales. This strong performance of Jinong was in turn mainly attributable to larger sales volume which soared 119.5% YoY to 9,315 tons. ASP, on the other hand, decreased to $1,638/ton (derived from sales volume and revenue) from ASP of $2,098/ton in Q3. We believe this was mostly due to the company’s increased sales of powder and granular fertilizer products that commanded lower prices. Gross profit increased 42.8% YoY to $9.1 million. However Q4 gross margin of 56.3% was lower than the 60.9% in F4Q09 and 60.3% in F3Q10. Increased sales of lower margin granular fertilizers again contributed to the lower gross margin, in our opinion. Net income increased 35.5% YoY to $6.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, slightly better than our estimate of $5.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, but in-line with Street consensus. For the full fiscal 2010, total revenue came in at $52.1 million, exceeding the company’s previous guidance of $50.6 - $51.2 million. Net income reached $21.3 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, within the guidance range of $21.1-$21.4 million, or EPS of $0.90-$0.91.

FY2011 guidance lower than our expectations: China Green provided its FY2011 guidance with total revenue of $150.5-$152.8 million, net income of $36.2-$36.8 million, and EPS of $1.35-$1.37. The guidance takes into consideration of the revenue and net income contributions of $88.4 million and $10.6 million from Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co. (“Gufeng”) it acquired in July. (Please refer to our report published on July 7, 2010 for more details.) We note that this guidance is lower than our previous expectations of $158.6 million of revenue, $39.0 million of net income, and $1.46 EPS. Excluding the revenue and net income contribution from Gufeng, it appears that management expects top-line organic growth will be in the range of 19.2%-23.6% and bottom-line organic growth will be between 20.2% and 23.1%. Both are significantly lower than the YoY 48.0% revenue growth and 40.9% net income growth in F2010. With regard to the Gufeng acquisition, while we believe it can prove to be attractive both financially and strategically for China Green, we await realized benefits from the integration, upgrade of Gufeng’s current chemical fertilizer production facility to organic humic acid-based fertilizer production lines, and capacity utilization ramp-up. We also believe the increased sales of granular fertilizers will significantly compress gross margin in the near term.

Adjusting estimates and maintaining Market Perform rating: We are maintaining our Market Perform rating on the shares of China Green in light of slower organic growth, margin compression, and uncertainties related to the integration of Gufeng. We have adjusted our estimates in accordance with management’s guidance. For FY2011, we now expect total revenue of $152.5 million, net income of $35.8 million, and $1.33 EPS. Our respective estimates for F1Q11 are $38.4 million, $7.8 million, and $0.29.

Fourth Quarter FY2010 Results

Total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $16.2 million, an increase of 54.5% from $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net sales of Jinong, which is the division that sells humic acid based compound fertilizers, accounted for 94.2% of total net sales.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 totaled $9.1 million, an increase of 42.8% from $6.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2009. Gross profit margin was 56.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, down from 60.9% a year ago. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to significantly higher growth in lower margin fertilizer products such as granular fertilizers.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $7.1 million, up 36.2% from $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Operating margin was 43.7%, compared to 49.5% in the same quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $6.0 million, up 35.5% compared with net income of $4.4 million during the same period in fiscal year 2009.
For the three month period ended June 30, 2010 basic and diluted net income per share was $0.25 as compared to $0.24 for the same period in 2009, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 24.6 million and 18.6 million, respectively. Net income margin approximated 37.0% and 42.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

"Fiscal year 2010 has been a monumental year for our Company which resulted in exceeding our revenue and net income guidance," stated Mr. Tao Li, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of China Green Agriculture. "We successfully implemented several growth initiatives resulting in the increase of our production capacity and geographic footprint, expanding our product line, and instilling brand awareness. At the end of June, we completed Phase I construction of our new research and development center, which consisted of one hundred sunlight greenhouses. We also launched 23 new liquid-based fertilizer products and added 43new distributors during the fiscal year 2010. To date, we have opened 15 directly-owned retail stores and selected 608 stores as 'China Green Agriculture Authorized Retailer' of our Jinong branded HA compound fertilizer products. In July, we closed on the acquisition of Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co., Ltd., which expanded our annual fertilizer production capacity from 55,000 metric tons to 355,000 metric tons. The facility extends our distribution network and broadens our product mix to meet the growing demand for both traditional and organic fertilizers in China, and is expected to contribute at least $10.6 million in net income in fiscal year 2011. With our strong working capital position, growing product offering and expanding R&D capabilities, we feel we are well positioned to gain market share and build on being one of the leading fertilizer producers in China."

Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, management expects

Revenues of $150.5 million to $152.8 million
Net income of $36.2 million to $36.8 million
EPS of $1.35 to $1.37 based on 26.8 million weighted average shares.
Current analyst EPS estimate is $1.43

For the first quarter ending September 30, 2010, management expects

Revenues of $38.2 millionto$38.6 million
Net income of $7.7 million to $8.0 million
EPS of $0.29 to $0.30based on 26.8 million weighted average shares.
Current analyst estimate is $0.35

This guidance reflects the anticipated strong sales resulting from the Company's increased production capacity from 55k metric tons to 355k metric tons.

GeoBargain Notes

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

We have removed China Green Agriculture (NYSE Amex:CGA) from the GeoBargain list. It had a nice run from our initial article on April 2, 2009 at $3.38. The Fiscal 2010 EPS growth rate guidance is below the GeoBargain 30% requirement.

Why is EPS growth slowing down in 2010?

Using the funds from its recent fund raising activities, it will take some time for CGA to complete its (R&D) green house facility expansion . This arm of China Green's business (agricultural products) develops products resulting from the testing of its liquid fertilizer. The green house expansion is expected to have its desired financial impact beginning in fiscal 2011. Thus, in the short-term we may see little growth in this portion of the business. China Green's fertilizer business is expected to continue to grow at a healthy pace.
Dilution from recent fund raising activities.

We will continue to track the CGA story due to the tendency of the company to exceed its guidance. Also, investors that can look beyond the upcoming year will notice that estimates indicate EPS growing over 50% in Fiscal 2011 to $1.33. The stock is still selling at discount to its long-term growth rate, which may attract long-term investors.

China Green Agriculture Reported outstanding financial results for its 2009 first quarter, easily exceeding company guidance and analyst estimates. As a result the GeoTeam® will be updating China Green Agriculture potential valuation scenarios after the market close.

Research

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:00:00 GMT

CGA is the newest addition to the GeoBargain® List and meets Nine of the Ten GeoBargain® requirements. After reviewing the company's press releases and SEC filings it appears that the company is participating in the right industry at the right time.

Understanding CGA:

CGA is a ''green" company with Two principal product lines motivated by a complex natural, organic ingredient called humic acid, an essential constituent for fertile soil, . "When plant or animal matter decomposes, it naturally turns into a form of humic acid-rich material, such as peat, lignite or weathered coal." In plain English the company, through its manufacturing process, extracts humic acid to be used as a fertilizer.

The GeoTeam® was initially impressed that company utilizes its operations to create two product lines from one source, which we feel may be beneficial for branding, cross marketing and efficiency goals.

Fertilizer Products; approximately 80% of sales:

Techteam, the manufacturing division of CGA, produces the fertilizer: The ultimate end user for its fertilizer products are farmers dispersed across 27 of the 28 Chinese provinces. The company does not sell directly to the end user, but uses a network of approximately 500 distributors who place its products among private wholesalers and retailers. CGA currently has approximately 125 products in its fertilizer line and are used by roughly 20 million farmers.

Expansion goals:

Distributors: 540 by the end of 2009.
New Product Initiatives: An additional 21 planned for 2009.

Agricultural Products; approximately 20% of sales:

Jintai is the R&D/testing arm for the company: In the process of testing Techteam’s fertilizers, Jintai produces products for commercial sale: "We purchase the seeds of green vegetables and fruits from the agents who import and apply our fertilizers to those products."

Jintai product categories:

Top-grade flowers distributed through their fertilizer distribution network.
Green vegetables and fruits distributed to a variety of wholesale markets and supermarkets in Xi’an City.
Multicolored seedlings distributed to the seedling centers and planting companies in China.

Although the company will continue to maximize opportunities in both divisions, the driver of future growth will stem from its higher margin fertilizer division.

Reasons CGA has piqued the GeoTeam's interest:

1) Efficiency:

Two products from one source equates to the maximization of the manufacturing/R&D process.
The company extracts humic acid from weathered coal. In simple terms, weathered coal is coal that has lost properties due to environmental impacts such as exposure to sun light. Coal mining companies, who have little use for weathered coal, are eager to sell it. The result is a cheap source of raw material.
The company utilizes an efficient manufacturing process. "Our fully-automated production line is run by a central control system and only needs the input of control technicians."
Starting in August 2009, a new production facility will significantly increase capacity.
As of the its second quarter financials release the company has an enviable pre-tax margin of 43%.

2) Strategic management decision

In touch with end user: "We utilize a multi-tiered product strategy which allows us to tailor our products to different needs and preferences of the different geographic regions across China with different climate and soil conditions which grow different crops with varied needs for fertilizers."
