Management Discussion and Analysis

Revenues


Gross revenues were $2,862,463 and $13,414,155 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $2,307,449, or 416%, and $11,158,486, or 495%, compared to gross revenues of $555,014 and $2,255,669 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to our efforts in developing oversea markets, including Thailand, Dubai and Indonesia. We started to develop the Thai market in 2011, which is becoming our significant oversea market as the result of consistent marketing. Our signature tangerines are popular in the market due to their good quality and reasonable price. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the revenues from Thailand were approximately $5,650,000, or 42% of total revenues, which were $0 during the same period in 2013, and the revenues from Dubai and other markets were approximately $1,100,000, or 8% of total revenues, which were $0 during the same period in 2013.

Our revenues generated from franchise retail stores increased to approximately $4,730,000 in 2014, or 35% of total revenue, from $2,200,000 in the same period ended September 30, 2013. Such increase was the direct result from the increase in our franchise stores, which totaled 35 stores as of September 30, 2014, compared to 6 stores in the same period in 2013.

In addition, due to our continuing efforts on market development, our domestic sales of tangerines increased to approximately $1,930,000 in 2014, or 14% of total revenue, from $70,000 in the same period ended September 30, 2013.

We generate our revenues from sales of fresh fruits and related products, including our signature tangerine. The revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to a warranty. We did not record any product returns during three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

We expect our sales to increase during 2014 as we move toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, and an increase in our marketing budgets. We currently have 35 franchise retail stores in the Beijing area, of which 2 stores are wholly owned by us under direct management, and 33 stores are managed by franchisees. After the close of acquisition transaction with Baojia, there will be 3 more stores added into our system. In 2014, we will evaluate the operations in the existing stores and replace those in poor performance with new stores. After several years’ experience in operating franchise retail stores, we believe 2014 is the right time for us to expand our retail stores network. We expect the total number of franchise stores to be increased to around sixty four by the end of 2014. Such expansion will be accomplished via acquisitions, franchise sales or direct setups.

Net Income / (Loss)

We had net income of $245,211 and $675,579 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to net income of $49,340 and net loss of $304,179 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to the increase in revenues, which generated sufficient gross profit to cover operating expenses. We also received a grant from the government in amount of $2,989 and $274,898 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, which was to encourage our contribution in modern agriculture.

There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future.

Management Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

Revenues

Gross revenues were $9,369,901 and $3,550,674 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We generate our revenues from sales of fresh fruits and related products, including our signature tangerine. The revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to warranty. We did not record any product returns during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The increase in revenues by $5,819,227 during the year ended December 31, 2013 was due primarily to increasing traffic in our retail stores. After our efforts on marketing and brand recognition over years, more and more local customers know about our stores and turn into our regular customers. The sales in retail stores increased approximately 28% in 2013. In addition, the fund from shareholders gave us sufficient cash flow to develop internatonal markets, including Thailand, Dubai, Malaysia and so on. The revenues generated from these three countries in 2013 were approximately $6,000,000, $236,540 and $36,736, or approximately 68%, 2.5% and 0.4% of total revenues, respectively.

We expect our sales to increase during in 2014 as our moves toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, the increase in marketing budgets. As of December 31, 2013, we had seven franchise retail stores in Beijing area, of which two stores are wholly owned by us under direct management, and five stores are managed by the franchisees. In 2014, we will evaluate the operation in the existing stores and replace those in poor performance with new stores. After several years experience in operating franchise retail stores, we believe 2014 is the right timing for us to expand our retail stores network. We expect the total number of franchise stores to be increased to sixty four via acquisitions by the end of 2014.
 

Income / Loss

We had net income of $166,622 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to net loss of $88,016 in the year of 2012. The net income during the year of 2013 was also due to the grants received from the local government in amount of $409,160, which was to encourage our efforts on modern agricultural development. Without the government grant, we suffered loss of $143,124 from operations.

There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future.

Comments & Business Outlook

BEIJING, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- China Fruits Corporation (OTC: CHFR) ("China Fruits" or "the Company"), a producer, distributor, and retailer of fresh tangerine and other fresh fruits in the People's Republic of China, launches its "Taina� Miss Fruit" Beauty Contest, the first national fruit-themed beauty contest in China that aims to advocate the underemphasized fruit culture and healthy lifestyle to China's growing urban population.

As the latest step to enhance its retail fruit store brand name, Taina�, in domestic urban fruit market, the beauty contest also sets a stage for the company to present its operational improvements in fruit planting, distributing, and retailing.

"The fruit consumption per capita is expected to reach 60 kilograms in China by 2020, and more fruit consumers are weighing quality over price, especially among the younger generations," said Mr. Quanlong Chen, chairman and CEO of China Fruits Corporation. "We are riding the trend by providing consumers with hand-picked fruits from orchards via our nationwide distribution network, patented storage technology, and expanding retail presence."

"What we have done and are now working on is to keep our production and distribution capacity abreast with the increasing market size and changing consumer preference," added Mr. Quanlong Chen.

A special requirement of the beauty contest is English language proficiency. As a U.S. public company, China Fruits is selecting its brand ambassador not only for its Chinese consumers but for its growing overseas shareholder base.

The finale is scheduled on April 25, 2014, with Miss Fruit and other top three winners being crowned and seven other beauties being honored with individual awards. Miss Fruit is expected to receive a cash reward, brand ambassador appointment, and lifetime free fruit supply from Taina's diversified fruit portfolio.

Auditor trail

Departure of Independent Accountant

On October 27, 2013, Lake & Associates, CPA’s LLC (“Lake”) notified the Company that effective as of that date, the firm was not going to stand for re-election as its independent auditor. Lake did not provide information as to the reason they would not stand for re-election as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has subsequently obtained information that effective August 13, 2013 the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) revoked the registration of Lake. The Company’s management and Board, along with its newly appointed independent auditor, are currently determining whether Lake’s PCAOB registration revocation will have any impact on its previously issued financial statements, most recently for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Lake issued its auditor’s report on the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, which included an explanatory paragraph as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Other than the going concern uncertainty described above, Lake’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Lake also reviewed Forms 10Q for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and any subsequent interim period through October 27, 2013, the date of resignation of Lake, there were no disagreements with Lake on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Lake’s satisfaction, would have caused Lake to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We have engaged WWC, P.C. to re-audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which will be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company provided Lake with a copy of the disclosure contained herein and requested in writing that Lake furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. The Company has included Lake’s letter as Exhibit 16 to this filing.

 
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On October 27, 2013, the Board approved the engagement of WWC P.C. (“WWC”), as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of WWC, the Company has not consulted WWC regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the registrant or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)) or a reportable event.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements

Comments:

We expect our sales to increase during the second half of 2013 as our moves toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, the increase in marketing budgets. We currently have six franchise retail stores in Beijing area, of which four stores are wholly owned by us under direct management, and two stores are managed by the franchisees. In 2013, we will evaluate the operation in the existing stores and replace those in poor performance with new stores. We expect the total number of franchise stores to be increased to seven by the end of 2013.

Liquidity:

Cash flows used in financing activities were $1,214,695 and $1,233,537 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Negative cash flows from financing activities in the first half of 2013 were due primarily to the advance to a third party in an amount of $355,514, plus the payments of $945,345 on notes payable. Negative cash flows from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 were due primarily to the advance to a third party in an amount of $880,684, the payments on notes payable in total amount of $439,153, of which $153,783 was to related parties loan.

We project that we will need additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. We anticipate we will need an additional $1,000,000 for the year of 2013.

Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through June 30, 2013 with a series of debt and equity transactions, primarily with related parties. If we are unable to receive additional cash from our related parties, we may need to rely on financing from outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.

Gross revenues were $1,028,639 and $673,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due primarily to sales of fresh fruits and related products, including our signature tangerine. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to warranty. We did not record any product returns for the both three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The significant increase in gross revenues by $354,663 during the first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to the increasing traffic in our retail stores. After our efforts on marketing and brand recognition over years, more and more local customers know about our stores and turn into our regular customers. The revenue increased in 2012 was also due to the development in international markets. We had revenues of approximately $209,830, or 20.4% of total revenues, generated from Thailand, and approximately $283,694, or 7.2% of total revenues, from Indonesia.

We expect our sales will continue to increase to approximately $4,200,000 during 2012 as our moves toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, the increase in marketing budgets and development in international markets. . We currently have four franchise retail stores in Beijing area, of which 2 stores are wholly owned by us under direct management, and 2 stores are managed by the franchisees. In 2012, we will evaluate the operation in the existing stores and replace those in poor performance with new stores. The total number of franchise stores will be increased to six.

Since the reverse merger was consummated, we have continued operations of Tai Na, a company which is principally engaged in manufacturing, trading and distributing fresh tangerine and other fresh fruits in the PRC. Tai Na is located in Nan Feng County, Jiang Xi Province, the well known agricultural area for tangerine in China. The geographic advantage benefits us with respect to the control of manufacturing cost and product quality. We have self-owned property in Nan Feng County with a total area of 742,901 square feet, including manufacturing plants of 238,609 square feet and office building of 70,350 square feet. In order to effectively maintain the quality of tangerine, we have a set of temperature and humidity auto-control equipments with capacity of 1,500 tons. We also have two automatic product lines to select fruits, the hourly process capacity of which is 10 ton/hour and 15 ton/hour, respectively. During the year of 2011, our total production was 3,781 tons, better than the expectation of 3,000 tons. We expect the production capacity will reach 4,500 tons in 2012 due to the improvement of production efficiency.

Since 2007, we have expanded our sales network by setting up the franchise retail stores for fresh fruits and related products. We also relocated our headquarters to Beijing, which we believe will have a positive effect on our corporate image and marketing strategy. In order to create our brand identity efficiently, we plan to acquire or form joint venture with the existing profitable and middle-size retail stores. We provide the stores with our standard management systems, supplies, as well as remodeling to unify store display, color and sign pursuant to the franchise requirements. We currently have four franchise retail stores in Beijing area, of which 2 stores are wholly owned by us under direct management, and 2 stores are managed by the franchisees. In 2012, we will evaluate the operation in the existing stores and replace those in poor performance with new stores. The total number of franchise stores will be increased to six.

The franchise retail stores build up the direct channel between the end users and us, which facilitates the process from our manufacturing plants to the markets, benefits us in adjusting our business strategies when market changes. In addition to our own products, we also work with our strategic partners to diversify the fruits in our store and ensure the prompt delivery. We believe we can expand our market shares through an effective and efficient franchise retail network. We expect more market shares via brand recognition in the near future.

In addition, we believe a sound warehouse and logistics center will help us to improve efficiency and reduce operating expenses. Especially for fresh fruits, the prompt handling and delivery is significant to reduce loss from spoilage. Therefore, we focus on establishing a systematic logistics center to support the expanding retail network. On March 3, 2012, we entered into a five-year lease agreement for warehouse and logistic space of approximately 26,700 square feet to store, select, pack and deliver fresh fruits. After the full operation of the logistics center, we believe both operating expenses and cost of goods sold will be reduced due to large-scale purchases and delivery.

Gross revenues were $3,476,158 and $1,807,471 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due primarily to sales of fresh fruits and related products, including our signature tangerine. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to warranty. We did not record any product returns for the year ended December 31, 2011. The significant increase in gross revenues by $1,668,687 in 2011 was due primarily to the increasing traffic in our retail stores. After our efforts on marketing and brand recognition over years, more and more local customers know about our stores and turn into our regular customers. The revenue increased in 2011 was also due to the development in international markets. We had revenues of approximately $1,310,000, or 37.7% of total revenues, generated from international markets, including approximately $100,000 from Dubai, approximately $10,000 from France, approximately $500,000 from Thailand, and approximately $700,000 from Indonesia. On the other hand, we suffered historical low tangerine output in 2010 due to severe weather.

We expect sales to increase during 2011 as our moves toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, the increase in marketing budgets. We currently have four wholly-owned franchise retail stores in Beijing area, including the one opened in November of 2011 located at Feng Tai District, Beijing. We expect to open total 6 franchise retail stores in 2011 and expect to boost our revenues due to the increasing traffic.

However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future.

HOW MANY TIMES IS MANAGEMENT GOING TO MAKE THIS STATEMENT!!!!!!

Liquidity Requirements
On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, and additional infusions of capital and debt financing. Our current capital and revenues are insufficient to fund such expansion. If we choose to launch such an expansion campaign, we will require substantially more capital. The funds raised from this offering will also be used to market our products and services as well as expand operations and contribute to working capital. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth potential will be adversely affected and we will have to significantly modify our plans

  • We had sales of $147,951 and $927,192 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to sales of $294,887 and $850,984 for the comparative periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.  The sales decreased by $146,936, or approximately 50% during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period ended June 30, 2009, due primarily to the traffic to our store slowing down since we only have one franchise retail store left located at Panjia Garden, Beijing.
  • We had net loss of $149,876 and $239,980 from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the net loss from continuing operations of $137,054 and $41,971 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The increases in net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were due primarily to the significant increase in cost of goods sold, resulting in insufficient gross profit to cover our expenses during the period.

But the company is predicting profitability:

"We expect to be profitable during the second half of fiscal year 2010 due to the recovery of current economy, the implementation of our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, and the increase in marketing budgets. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future."

GeoTeam Note®: Investors need to take this commentary with a grain of salt.  The company has made similar comments in the past that did not come to fruition.

We just mentioned this stock a few days ago. The company is still losing money, but losses have appeared to stabilize. Comments in the 10K look encouraging as it pertains to revenue growth:

We expect sales to increase during 2010 as our moves toward implementing our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, the increase in marketing budgets.

However, no comments were made regarding the outlook for profitability. Although still a risky play that may amount to nothing, at .08 we are willing to devote some exposure to our diversified portfolios with long-shot opportunities.

Research

Seeking feedback from GeoReaders on the status of CHFR story:

Specifically, I am referring to the following comments in the 2009 Third quarter 10Q filing:

In order to create our brand identity efficiently, we plan to acquire or joint venture with the existing profitable and middle-size retail stores. We will provide the stores with management, supplies, as well as the remodeling in connection with display, color and sign to match the franchise requirements. The first franchise store was opened in Beijing in November of 2007. As of September 30, 2008, there were 11 wholly-owned franchise retail stores opened, of which 5 stores located in Beijing, 3 stores located in Haining, eastern China, and 3 stores located in Dongguan, southern China. The biggest store has approximately 4,200 square feet and independent warehouse of approximately 1,200 square feet, which is located at the main street business center of He Ping Li, one of the busy areas in Beijing.

We expect to be profitable during the second half of fiscal year 2009 due to the recovery of current economy, the implementation of our business plan, including the increase in franchise retail stores, and the increase in marketing budgets. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability, or that any revenue growth will take place in the future.  

Is CHFR implying they will be profitable during the 2009 fourth quarter? The company was right around break even during the first nine months of  2009. We are also intrigued by the fact that the company raised funds via the sale of stock at $0.20, which is well above the current price.  

At $0.06 we will code CHFR as a GeoSpecial on the Radar just in case management delivers on its expectations.  We may request an interview.
