Due to the stabilization of the purchase price of potatoes resulting from a bumper harvest of potatoes in the third quarter of 2011, we worked overtime to extend our production which led to a surge in sales volume by 19.2% to 24,450 metric tons during the third quarter of 2011 .

Our sales decreased by 5.1% from $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2010 to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 due to the decrease of our sales volume offset by the increase in average unit selling price.
The price of agricultural products has increased significantly since the third quarter of 2010 and became relatively stable during the first quarter of 2011, which resulted in an increase in purchase price of potatoes by 94.0% from RMB400 ($59) per metric ton for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to RMB775 ($119) per metric ton compared with June 30, 2011. We were able to pass through the increase in the purchase price of potatoes to our customers and increased our average selling price by 59.0% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to that of 2010.
However, the price of potatoes has surged sharply to an unusually high level since the middle of April 2011 due to the following reasons:
a.) Price distortion due to speculation in the potato market
b.) A dwindling supply of potatoes for the season
We can pass through the incremental cost of potatoes to our customers only if the increment is reasonable and acceptable to our downstream industries. Because the purchase price of potatoes was at an unusually high level during the quarter, making our products much less affordable to our customers, we chose to suspend our production lines in the middle of April 2011, which was earlier than we would typically suspend production for the season. Accordingly, our sales volume decreased by 34.9% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to that of 2010.
However, our sales revenue increased by 28.0% from $29.0 million for the six months of 2010 to $37.1 million for the six months of 2011 due to increase of our average unit selling price offset by decrease of sales volume as mentioned above.

From May through July, we typically halt our production process at our facilities located in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. The potato-planting season typically begins in March and the potatoes are delivered to our facilities from August until December. The farmers store remaining unsold potatoes in cellars for up to four months, which allows us to expand our production period until April.
Our Gansu factory is in one of the colder regions in China and typically halts production during January and February and resumes production from March to May. It typically shuts down again during June and July and resumes production in August. During the off-season, we spend time performing routine maintenance

2010: $25,882,536
2011: $33,382,670
Deal Flow
On December 21, 2010, CFO Consultants, Inc., a Nevada corporation entered into a
securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of (i)
9,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase up
to 1,840,000 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrant, each such warrant having an initial exercise price of

$2,300,000 (the “Offering”).
Reverse Merger Activity
On October 21, 2010 Wai Bo International became a public entity via a
reverse merger transaction .
Company Snapshot :
We are a leading PRC producer of high quality potato starch, a value added and functional ingredient in many different types of packaged and processed foods.
Industry Snapshot :
Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by all green plants as an energy store. It is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet and is contained in such staple foods as potatoes, wheat, maize (corn) and rice. Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes and is a very refined starch, containing minimal amount of protein or fat. Native potato starch is a white powder with a neutral taste and high adhesive properties. This functional additive is widely used in many types of Chinese processed foods including instant noodles, dumplings, sauces, meatballs and sausages.
The potato starch industry in China is relatively young. According to an August 2010 report of the United States Department of Agriculture, approximately 90% of the potato starch factories categorized in China are characterized as small.
Consumption of prepared and processed foods in the PRC has grown in step with the country’s urbanization trend. As people’s lives become busier, the traditional custom of making daily purchases of fresh raw produce from small farmers’ markets has increasingly given way to less frequent visits to supermarkets to buy prepared, packaged and processed foods.
Post Merger Share Calculation :
5,655,000: Pre reverse merger outstanding shares
361,920,000: Newly issued shares of Common Stock
9,441,667: Shares from convertible notes
GeoTeam® best effort calculation of total post reverse merger shares assuming full conversions: 377,016,667
Note : "On the Closing Date, we did not have sufficient authorized shares to complete the issuance of the entire amount of Exchange Shares and shares issuable pursuant to the Convertible Note, so only 38,000,000 shares were issued to the designee of the Waibo Shareholders at the closing, and no shares were issued to the holder of the Convertible Note. As soon as practicable after the Company effectuates an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares, the Company will issue the remaining 323,920,000 shares to the Waibo Shareholders, as well as 9,441,667 shares to the holder of the Convertible Note. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, Waibo became our wholly owned subsidiary."
Financial Snapshot :
Sales increased by 21.5% from $53.1 million in 2008 to $64.5 million in 2009.
Sales increased by 27.2% from $22.8 million in 2009 to $29.0 million in 2010.
Net income increased to $22,621,000 in 2009 from $18,850,833 in 2008
Net income increased to $11,310,500 for the six months 2010 from $7,540,333 in the 2009 comparable period.
Pro-forma income per share for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 (considering the retroactive restatement to reflect the new capital structure as a result of the reverse acquisition) would be $0.03, $0.05, $0.06, $0.02 and $0.03 , respectively, per share; the pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding would be 377,016,667 for each period presented.
Seasonality:
From May through July, we typically halt our production process at our facilities located in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. The potato-planting season typically begins in March and the potatoes are delivered to our facilities from August until December. The farmers store remaining unsold potatoes in cellars for up to four months, which allows us to expand our production period until April.
Auditor Information :
On October 21, 2010, we made the decision to appoint GHP Horwath, P.C. (“GHP”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage GHP was approved by our Board of Directors on October 22, 2010.

We expect that the capital expenditures for the three years ending December 31 will be primarily used for land use rights, buildings, and plant and machinery to establish new production lines for native potato starch, modified potato starch and whole potato starch.
We expect to finance our projected capital expenditures mainly by the net proceeds from future offerings after the reverse merger and cash generated from operating activities .
