-- Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to 33 cents for the nine months
compared to 31 cents for the same period of 2009 on a 11% increase in
the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the period.
The results were impacted by the movement of the Chinese currency relative to
the Canadian dollar. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 the average
foreign exchange rate used to convert one Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") was 0.1524
expressed in Canadian dollars compared to 0.1821 for the same quarter of 2009.
If the 2010 third quarter results were converted at the prior year's average
exchange rate for the quarter, 2010 third quarter earnings per share would have
been 10 cents. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the average foreign
exchange rate used to convert one RMB was 0.1558 expressed in Canadian dollars
compared to 0.1695 for the same period last year. If the 2010 nine month results
were converted at the prior year's average exchange rate for 2009, 2010 nine
month earnings per share would have been 36 cents, resulting in a 16% increase
in earnings per share.

Overview
Zungui is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of athletic footwear,
apparel and accessories ("Sportswear Product Line") and casual leather footwear
("Casual Product Line"). Both product lines are marketed in the PRC under the
well-recognized ZUNGUI brand. Zungui distributes its products to consumers
throughout the PRC through three corporate-owned retail outlets and through 47
distributors, who in turn sell products via an extensive network of 1,731 retail
outlets as of March 31, 2010, 1,410 of which offer the Sportswear Product Line
and 321 of which offer the Casual Product Line. All retail outlets exclusively
sell products which carry the ZUNGUI brand.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the expansion of the
retail outlets continued and the Company focused on revenue growth and increased
profitability. It provided services and training to distributors to help meet
customer needs and increase their sales. For the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2010, revenue grew 7% and 20% to $33.3 million and $113.3 million in
Canadian dollars, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Revenue grew 28% and 30% in Renminbi ("RMB") to RMB 218.7 million and RMB 725.5
million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year with the
difference attributable to the Chinese currency fluctuations relative to the
Canadian dollar reporting currency in 2009 and 2010.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Foreign Currency
All of the Company's revenues and expenses, other than the Canadian head office
expenses, are generated in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Accordingly,
the results of operations are impacted by the fluctuation of the Renminbi
("RMB") against the Canadian dollar when converted for financial reporting
purposes. The weighted average exchange rate for one RMB, expressed in Canadian
dollars, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 0.1524 and
0.1821 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 0.1558 and
0.1695. The movement of the Chinese currency relative to the Canadian dollar in
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 resulted in the statement of
operations in Canadian currency being 16% and 8% less than would have been
reported if the Company had used the average exchange rate for the same periods
of 2009, respectively.
Financial Highlights in RMB
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the Company
for the periods indicated in RMB which is the Company's functional currency for
its wholly owned subsidiary in China. The Canadian head office's functional
currency is Canadian dollars. The Company uses Canadian dollars as its reporting
currency. This information has been derived from the Company's records
supporting the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, immediately prior to their
conversion to Canadian dollars.

Revenues

sold within the PRC. The Company provides sales rebates and advertising
contributions to its distributors that are deducted from its gross revenue to
derive its net revenue.
Cost of Sales
The Company's cost of sales consists of internal and external production costs.
Internal production costs include raw materials, labour and manufacturing costs.
Outsourced production costs refer to the cost of procuring finished footwear,
apparel and accessories, which represents amounts paid to subcontracted
manufacturers in the PRC.

The results of the Company are generally not subject to seasonality.
Selling and general and administrative expenses
The Company's selling and general and administrative expenses consist of

Outlook
The PRC domestic footwear market remains a high growth industry consistent with
the growth of the PRC's economy. Zungui's focus is on the domestic market and
the Company allocates its resources and efforts to meet the demands of China's
growing local markets. Zungui is currently working to increase its presence in
Tier 2 and 3 Cities, with populations ranging up to 5 million people, throughout
the PRC, where both population and disposable income are growing. This increased
presence will be achieved by opening additional corporate-owned and managed
retail outlets and by assisting distributors in expanding their retail presence.
Corporate-owned and managed retail outlets typically offer higher margins than
sales through distributors as well as greater operating flexibility. By
increasing the number of corporate-owned and managed retail outlets, Zungui
believes it can focus its growth strategy in certain regions while complementing
its current distribution network. The Company expects to add 100 corporate-owned
and managed retail outlets, during the period April to December, 2010 and 250
retail outlets from distributors in calendar 2010.

increased 28% to RMB 218.7 million for the three month period ended March 31,

dollars. Footwear revenue increased 8% to $27.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year, and was comprised of

employees which increased the cost of sales by approximately $0.4 million in the
quarter and year-to-date. Raw materials accounted for 82.7% and 85.0% of the
cost of sales on internally produced footwear for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2010, respectively compared to 86.5% and 86.7% for the three and

51% and 56% for the same periods last year, respectively. During the quarter,
the Company was able to reduce the outsourced production of the finished goods

The gross margin declined in the quarter for the three and nine months ending

of footwear which is consistent with the revenue breakdown.

income increased 21% to RMB 34.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010 compared to RMB 28.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. Net income
increased during the quarter as a result of a $0.5 million increase in gross
profit and a reduction of selling expenses of $0.3 million which were offset by
an increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million and
additional income taxes of $0.2 million.
Net income increased 19% to $18.4 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2010 compared to $15.5 million for the same period of 2009. For the nine months,
net income in RMB increased 29% to RMB 117.6 million compared to RMB 91.0
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Net income increased for the
nine months as a result of an increase in gross profit of $4.8 million and lower
selling expenses of $0.9 million offset by higher general and administrative
expenses of $1.2 million and additional income taxes of $1.5 million.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share was 8 cents for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to 10 cents for the same quarter last year. Basic and
diluted earnings per share was 33 cents for the nine months ended March 31, 2010
compared to 31 cents for the same period of 2009. There were 62,259,500 shares
issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2010. The weighted average number shares
outstanding during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 was 62,166,672
and 55,477,581, respectively. As a result of the application of continuity of
interest accounting, all periods prior to the initial public offering completed
on December 21, 2009 are deemed to have 50,000,000 shares issued and outstanding
for the purpose of determining earnings per share.
Reorganization and Share Capital
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with
Southern whereby the 10,000 issued and outstanding common shares of Southern
were exchanged for 50,000,000 common shares of the Company. On June 25, 2009,
Southern, an investment holding company, acquired 100% ownership interest in
Honorable Int'l Investment Co., Limited ("Honorable") which is an investment
holding company based in Hong Kong. Honorable acquired 100% interest in
Mengshida Shoes Co., Ltd Shishi City on July 25, 2008. Mengshida manufactures
and sells athletic footwear and related apparel and accessories as well as
leisure leather shoes in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").
These reorganization transactions were accounted for on a continuity of interest
basis of accounting whereby the various assets and liabilities are accounted for
at the carrying value in the combining companies' records. Current and
comparative consolidated financial results are presented as if the companies
have always been combined. The number of common shares outstanding has been
restated for the purpose of determining earnings per share to reflect the
reorganization.
The Company's fiscal year end is June 30, 2010. Accordingly these consolidated
financial statements are for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2010 with comparative figures for the same periods in 2009.
Initial Public Offering
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO")
by issuing 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $3.25 per common share,
resulting in net proceeds of $33,040 after deducting the underwriters' fees and
other related expenses of the offering.
The Company granted the underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable for a
period of 30 days from closing of the IPO to purchase up to an additional
1,725,000 common shares at the issue price.
In addition, the underwriters received compensation options entitling them to
acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares issued under the IPO including
any shares exercised under the over-allotment option. Each compensation option
will be exercisable for common shares at $3.25 per share until December 21,
2011.
On January 12, 2010, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option to
purchase 759,500 common shares at $3.25 and, as a result, received an additional
7% or 53,165 compensation options. Net proceeds of $2,278 were received after
deducting the underwriters' fees and other related expenses of the offering.
Each compensation option will be exercisable for common shares at $3.25 per
share until January 12, 2012.

Liquidity
The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure there is sufficient cash to
meet all of the Company's financial commitments and obligations as they fall
due. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to obtain, from current
cash holdings and ongoing operations, the funds needed to fulfill its cash
requirements during the current financial year. The Company's main source of
funds is from the sales of its products to distributors and cash on hand. The
Company's use of funds is primarily for its operating expenses including the
payment for its production of footwear and outsourced production to third party
suppliers.
The Company has a one year bank loan of $0.4 million that is due in July 16,
2010 and bears interest at the higher of 5.31% or the lending rate per Bank of
China, reset every three months.
Through the Company's growth and expansion as well as the initial public
offering completed on December 21, 2009, it has increased its cash on hand from
$23.8 million as at June 30, 2009 to $68.3 million as at March 31, 2010.
The Company commences its manufacturing of most products at the time that it
enters into a binding production contract with the distributor to limit its
inventory levels. Finished goods inventory increased during the period to $4.1
million as at March 31, 2010 from $1.6 million as at June 30, 2009 but was lower
than the $5.4 million as at March 31, 2009 all in spite of the 20% increase in
the nine month revenue during the period. The higher level of finished goods
inventory was a result of increased production during the quarter with
subsequent shipping of the inventory in April, 2010.
Accounts receivable decreased during the quarter to $23.7 million compared to
$28.7 million as at December 31, 2009 as sales were higher during the second
quarter of 2010 in preparation for higher retail sales during the Chinese New
Year. The accounts receivable balance as at March 31, 2009 was $16.0 million.
The increase in accounts receivable from the March 31, 2009 balance is
reflective of the Company's 20% increase in revenue, currency fluctuations and
the expanded payment terms offered to certain distributors to provide support to
them to open more retail stores. The Company has not experienced any increase in
bad debts or increased provision for allowance for doubtful accounts.
At present, there are no known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties
that would adversely affect the trends and expected fluctuations in the
Company's liquidity. The Company believes it has the funds required, with the
net proceeds from the initial public offering completed on December 21, 2009, to
meet its business objectives and working capital and other cash requirements for
at least twelve months. However, there can be no assurances that these funds
will be sufficient and the Company may have to evaluate additional means of
financing, including additional debt or equity financing.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2010 was $10.6 million and $13.7 million, respectively. During the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the decrease in the accounts receivable and
inventory balances generated a source of cash. The growth in the business has
been the main driver of the increased cash generated from operating activities
and the decreased working capital requirement for the nine months. Net cash
generated by financing activities was $1.5 million and $35.4 million for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. No dividends were paid out during
fiscal 2010 or the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Net cash generated during
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $10.2 million, $5.5
million, $44.5 million and $16.4 million, respectively.
Working capital increased from $29.8 million (RMB 281.1 million) as at June 30,
2009 to $78.4 million (RMB 511.5 million) as at March 31, 2010 as a result of
the growth in revenue and profitability and the proceeds from the initial public
offering.
Risk Factors
An additional risk factor was identified during the second quarter of 2010 being
the Chinese government can issue income tax rules which have a retroactive
application. On December 15, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued a
taxation circular that has retroactive application to January 1, 2008. The
Company's preliminary assessment is that this taxation circular has no financial
impact to the Company.
For further risk factors see "Risk Factors" as contained in the Company's final
long form prospectus filed on December 11, 2009 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures primarily relate to its investment in the
equipment required in its production lines. The Company expects to use a portion
of the net proceeds from the Offering to further invest in equipment as well as
to construct a new building. The Company is reassessing its plans on the
construction of the new building to expand its planned capacity from six to ten
storeys. If successful, this will delay completion of the project to June, 2011.
Use of Proceeds
The Company completed its initial public offering on December 21, 2009 and
received net cash proceeds of $34,759 after deducting the underwriter fees but
prior to the issue costs of $1,719. On January 12, 2010, the Company received a
further $2,278 of net cash proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment
option. As of March 31, 2010, there has been no variance in the Company's
disclosure of its intended use of proceeds from the final prospectus dated
December 11, 2009 and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

While the Company intends to use the net proceeds as stated above, circumstances

fluctuations, a reallocation of monies may be necessary or advisable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Related Party Transactions
Directors of Mengshida have jointly provided personal guarantees to indemnify
Mengshida on certain potential tax exposures including related interest and
penalties for periods prior to 2006. As a result, the Company has recorded an
other receivables from the directors of $1.2 million as at March 31, 2010 and
June 30, 2009.
A loan was received from a director of Honorable for $0.4 million and $0.5
million as at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The loan is not
secured, is interest free and payable on demand.
Directors of Mengshida have jointly made personal guarantees to indemnify the
Company for any premiums for social insurance in arrears in excess of RMB
4,465,000. One of the Directors has pledged 2,000,000 common shares of the
Company owned by him for any potential liability that may become payable under
this undertaking.
A corporation owned 50% by one of Zungui's Directors received $400,000 in cash
and 700,000 stock options of the Company in trust for various parties as
consideration for services rendered in connection with the initial public
offering. The stock options were granted at $3.25 and vest in equal amounts over
three years. A company controlled by the same Director received 440,000 of the
700,000 stock options granted by the Company. The above transactions were
conducted in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange
amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the
parties.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company held cash of $68.3 million on its balance sheet as at March 31,
2010. The Company does not have any cash equivalents or invested assets. The
Company does not currently utilize any other instruments such as derivative
financial instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. The
Company's location in the Fujian Province is in close proximity to a large
number of suppliers of raw materials required in the manufacturing of the
Company's products creating procurement efficiency and, as a result, the Company
does not need to enter into any forward future contracts to purchase raw
materials. All of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are
short term in nature and are measured on an ongoing basis at fair value or
amortized cost.
Adoption of New Accounting Policies
The Company has a stock based compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair
value of options granted to employees, non-employees directors and consultants
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the fair
value as a compensation expense over the period that the stock options vest,
with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When these stock options
are exercised, the amount of the proceeds together with the amount recorded in
contributed surplus, is recorded in share capital.
Future Accounting Changes
Transition to IFRS
Canada's Accounting Standards Board ratified a strategic plan that will result
in Canadian GAAP, as used by public companies, being evolved and converged with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") over a transitional period
to be complete by 2011. The Company will be required to report using IFRS
effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2012.
The Company expects the transition to IFRS to have an impact on financial
reporting, business processes and information systems. The Company began a
preliminary assessment during the third quarter of 2010. The Company will invest
in training and resources through the transition process to facilitate a timely
conversion.
Business Combinations, Consolidations and Non-Controlling Interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations
replacing Section 1581, Business Combinations. Section 1582 will apply to a
transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses (as
defined in the Section). Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
contingent liabilities that are considered to be probable, will be measured at
fair value. A bargain purchase will result in the recognition of a gain.
Acquisition costs will be expensed. These standards are applicable to interim
and annual financial statements of the Company beginning on July 1, 2011. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these standards.
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1601, Consolidated Financial
Statements and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests replacing Section 1600,
Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1601 establishes standards for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 establishes
standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest. These standards are
applicable to interim and annual financial statements of the Company beginning
on July 1, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these
standards.
Financial Instruments
In June 2009, the CICA revised section 3862 to include a hierarchy concept in
measuring financial instruments, a requirement to provide disclosure concerning
the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities for each hierarchy level
and amendments to the liquidity disclosure requirements. The recommendations are
effective for the Company's 2010 year end financial statements and MD&A. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the revision to this
standard.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars except per share and share
amounts)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Zungui Haixi Corporation ("Zungui" or "Company") was incorporated under the
Ontario Business Corporation Act on August 11, 2009. Zungui is a holding company
listed on TSX Venture Exchange. Through its subsidiaries, Zungui manufactures
and sells sports footwear and related apparel and accessories as well as leisure
leather shoes in the People's Republic of China ( the "PRC" or "China").
Zungui's wholly owned subsidiaries include Southern Trends International Holding
Company Ltd. ("Southern"), Honorable Int'l Investment Co., Limited ("Honorable")
and Mengshida Shoes Co., Ltd. Shishi City ("Mengshida").
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with
Southern whereby the 10,000 issued and outstanding common shares of Southern
were exchanged for 50,000,000 common shares of the Company. On June 25, 2009,
Southern, an investment holding company, acquired 100% ownership interest in
Honorable which is an investment holding company based in Hong Kong. Honorable
acquired 100% interest in Mengshida on July 25, 2008.
These reorganization transactions were accounted for on a continuity of interest
basis of accounting whereby the various assets and liabilities are accounted for
at the carrying value in the combining companies' records. Current and
comparative consolidated financial results are presented as if the companies
have always been combined. The number of common shares outstanding has been
restated for the purpose of determining earnings per share to reflect the
reorganization.
The Company's fiscal year end is June 30, 2010. Accordingly these consolidated
financial statements are for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2010 with comparative figures for the same periods in 2009.
2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On December 21, 2009, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO")
by issuing 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $3.25 per common share,
resulting in net proceeds of $33,040 after deducting the underwriters' fees and
other related expenses of the offering.
The Company granted the underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable for a
period of 30 days from closing of the IPO to purchase up to an additional
1,725,000 common shares at the issue price.
In addition, the underwriters received compensation options entitling them to
acquire up to 7% of the number of common shares issued under the IPO including
any shares exercised under the over-allotment option. Each compensation option
will be exercisable for common shares at $3.25 per share until December 21,
2011.
On January 12, 2010, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option to
purchase 759,500 common shares at $3.25 and, as a result, received an additional
7% or 53,165 compensation options. Net proceeds of $2,278 were received after
deducting the underwriters' fees and other related expenses of the offering.
Each compensation option will be exercisable for common shares at $3.25 per
share until January 12, 2012.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial statements and are consistent with the accounting policies and methods
of computation as were used in the preparation of the annual consolidated
financial statements of Southern for the three years ended December 31, 2008 and
the six months period ended on June 30, 2009. These interim consolidated
financial statements do not contain all the information and disclosures required
by GAAP applicable for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly
should be read in conjunction with Southern's audited consolidated financial
statements which appear in Zungui's final long form prospectus dated December
11, 2009 and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The results of the operations
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the full-year results.
(a) Foreign currency translation
The Company's primary economic activities are in China and the functional
currency is Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") for its wholly owned subsidiary located in
China. The Canadian head office's functional currency is Canadian dollars. The
Company uses Canadian dollars as its reporting currency. The financial
statements are translated into the reporting currency using the current rate
method. Under this method, revenue and expenses of the Company are translated
into the reporting currency using the weighted average exchange rates for the
period and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the
end of the period. Capital transactions are translated using historical rates.
All resulting exchange differences are reported as accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), which is presented as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
The weighted average exchange rate for one RMB expressed in Canadian dollars for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 is 0.1524 and 0.1821,
respectively and is 0.1558 and 0.1695 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively.
(b) Adoption of new accounting policies
Stock based compensation
The Company has a stock based compensation plan which is described in Note 9.
The Company estimates the fair value of options granted to employees,
non-employee directors and consultants using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The Company recognizes the fair value as a compensation expense over the
period that the stock options vest, with a corresponding increase to contributed
surplus. When these stock options are exercised, the amount of the proceeds
together with the amount recorded in contributed surplus, is recorded in share
capital.
(c) Future accounting changes
(i) Transition to IFRS
Canada's Accounting Standards Board ratified a strategic plan that will result
in Canadian GAAP, as used by public companies, being evolved and converged with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") over a transitional period
to be complete by 2011. The Company will be required to report using IFRS for
interim and annual financial statements relating to the fiscal year ended June
30, 2012.
The Company expects the transition to IFRS to have an impact on financial
reporting, business processes and information systems. The Company began a
preliminary assessment during the third quarter of 2010. The Company will invest
in training and resources through the transition process to facilitate a timely
conversion.
(ii) Business Combinations, Consolidations and Non-Controlling Interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations
replacing Section 1581, Business Combinations. Section 1582 will apply to a
transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses (as
defined in the Section). Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
contingent liabilities that are considered to be probable, will be measured at
fair value. A bargain purchase will result in the recognition of a gain.
Acquisition costs will be expensed. These standards are applicable to interim
and annual financial statements of the Company beginning on July 1, 2011. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these standards.
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1601, Consolidated Financial
Statements and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests replacing Section 1600,
Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1601 establishes standards for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 establishes
standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest. These standards are
applicable to interim and annual financial statements of the Company beginning
on July 1, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these
standards.
(c) Future accounting changes
(iii) Financial Instruments
In June 2009, the CICA revised section 3862 to include a hierarchy concept in
measuring financial instruments, a requirement to provide disclosure concerning
the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities for each hierarchy level
and amendments to the liquidity disclosure requirements. The recommendations are
effective for the Company's 2010 year end financial statements. The Company is
in the process of evaluating the impact of the revision to this standard.

The bank loan is collateralized by the Company's buildings as referred to in Note 5.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(a) Directors of Mengshida have jointly made personal guarantees to
indemnify Mengshida on certain potential tax exposures including the

(i) The expenses of the initial public offering, including underwriters'
fees and other related expenses, were $4,335.
(ii) On January 12, 2010, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment
option and purchased 759,500 common shares at $3.25. The expenses of
the over-allotment option, including underwriters' fees and other
related expenses, were $190.
(iii) As a result of the reorganization as described and the application of
the continuity of interest accounting, all periods prior to the
initial public offering completed on December 21, 2009 are deemed
to have 50,000,000 shares issued and outstanding for the purposes
of calculating earnings per share.
(b) Stock Options:
In conjunction with the initial public offering, on December 21, 2009 the
Company granted 700,000 stock options at an exercise price of $3.25 to
consultants (see Note 7(d)). The consultant's stock options vest equally over a
three year period and as at March 31, 2010, none were vested nor exercisable.
The stock options expire on December 21, 2014. The per share fair value of these
grants was $1.44. Stock based compensation in the amount of $1,005 was deducted
from share capital as part of the expenses of the offering.
In addition, 960,000 stock options were granted to employees and non-employee
Directors as further discussed in Note 9.
(c) Underwriter Options:
As described in Note 2, the Company granted the underwriters an over-allotment
option to purchase up to an additional 1,725,000 common shares at $3.25 that
expires within 30 days of the closing of the IPO. No stock based compensation
was recorded for this option. The Company also granted the underwriters an
option to purchase 805,000 common shares ("compensation options") at $3.25 for a
period of 24 months. The per share fair value of these grants was $1.01. Stock
based compensation in the amount of $811 was deducted from share capital as part
of the expenses of the offering.
On January 12, 2010, the underwriters earned an additional 53,165 common shares
("compensation options") at $3.25 for a period of 24 months in conjunction with
the exercise of the over-allotment option. The per share fair value of these
grants was $0.97. Stock based compensation in the amount of $51 was deducted
from share capital as part of the expenses of the offering.
The fair value of the option grants in (b) and (c) above were estimated at the
date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
March 31, 2010 March 31, 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk-free interest rate 1.27 1.27-2.46
Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0%
Expected volatility 54.3% 54.3%
Expected option life (in years) 2 2 - 4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of companies in
comparable industries. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of
Government of Canada T-bills with similar maturities. The expected option life
was estimated based on vesting schedule and the expiry date for the compensation
options.
(d) Paid in Capital:
As part of the reorganization referred to in Note 1, the paid in capital of
Mengshida of $1,174 became the contributed surplus of the Company.
According to the registration document filed with the PRC government agency on
April 30, 2008, the Company is required to increase its additional capital
investment in Mengshida to $3,003 (RMB 20,000,000) within 2 years from the date
of the filing. On December 28, 2009 $1,760 (RMB 11,223,825) in additional
capital was injected to fulfill this requirement.
9. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock option plan to incent directors, officers, consultants
and employees. In accordance with the stock option plan, the term of any stock
option grant cannot exceed five years and no more than 10% of Company's common
shares are reserved for stock option grants. On December 21, 2009, the Company
granted 960,000 stock options at an exercise price of $3.25 to Company employees
and directors with an expiry date of December 21, 2014. The stock options vest
equally over a three year period and as at March 31, 2010, none were vested nor
exercisable. The per share fair value of these grants was $1.44. During the
three months ended March 31, 2010, no additional stock options were granted and
10,000 options were forfeited.
The fair value of the options grants was estimated at the date of the grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nine Months Ended
March 31, 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk-free interest rate 2.46
Dividend yield 0.0%
Expected volatility 54.3%
Expected option life (in years) 4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of companies in
comparable industries. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of
Government of Canada T-bills with similar maturities. During the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2010, stock based compensation expense was $114 and $127.
10. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
The Company sells products to various customers. There were no customers that
purchased more than 10% of the Company's products for the three or nine month
periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, purchases from three
suppliers, each represented 10% ($1,745), 9% ($1,509) and 8% ($1,420) of total
purchases. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, purchases from
three suppliers represented 16% ($4,719), 15% ($4,096) and 15% ($3,549) of the
total purchases. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, purchases
from three suppliers, each represented 16% ($13,075), 16% ($13,009) and 16%
($12,989) of total purchases. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2009,
purchases from three suppliers represented 15% ($10,428), 12% ($8,388) and 10%

12. CONTINGENCIES
Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company makes
contributions to the local Labour and Social Security Bureaus based on a rate
determined by the local bureaus. The process of determining this rate involves
uncertainties and judgments on the part of the Bureaus. Significant estimates
and judgement are applied by management to determine the appropriate amount of
social insurance to be paid. The Directors of Mengshida have jointly made
personal guarantees to indemnify the Company for any premiums for social
insurance in arrears and all related fines, penalties, interest and other
payments in excess of RMB 4,465,000 ($664) that the Company may be required to
make relating to periods prior to December 31, 2009 in the event of a dispute or
settlement with the applicable government authorities. See Note 7(c).
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis at
fair value or amortized cost. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point
in time, using available information about the financial instrument. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and the exercise of
significant judgement. The fair value of financial assets and financial
liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short term maturity.
The classification of the financial instruments as well as their carrying values
is shown in the table below:

Financial risk management
Financial risk is the risk to the Company's earnings that arises from
fluctuations in market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk and the degree of volatility of these
rates. The Company's business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse
effects on the Company's financial performance.
The Company's financial instruments that are included in the consolidated
balance sheets are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank loans and due to related party.
As at the balance sheet date, there are no significant differences between the
carrying value of these items and their estimated fair values because they are
short-term in nature.
Market risk
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is primarily related to the
bank loan from Bank of Agriculture Shishi branch under its existing term loan
which bears interest at a floating rate that is reset every three months. The
Company does not use any derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure
to interest rate risk.
The potential effect of a 100 basis points increase or decrease in interest
rates on the Company's bank loan would impact the Company's net income assuming
all other variables remain constant would be $1 and $1 for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $4 and $4 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Foreign Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. The Company has no financial instrument related to currency
risk. The translation of foreign operations to the reporting currency is not
taken into account.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will
default on its obligations. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk
consists of the carrying value of its cash, accounts receivable and other
receivables. The Company places its cash with a PRC regulated financial
institution.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated through the sales
to numerous different customers. No customer accounted for more than 10% of
total sales. In addition, the Company evaluates the financial position of its
customers and regularly reviews their credit limit. Allowances are established
with regards to potential losses. The Company was not exposed to any particular
credit risk concentration for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial
obligations as they become due. The Company finances its operations through a
combination of the cash flows from operating activities and bank loans. The
Company's goal is to maintain an optimal level of liquidity through the active
management of the assets and liabilities as well as the cash flows. As at March
31, 2010, the Company had a $446 bank loan with a July 16, 2010 due date,
$15,917 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related party
$440. All financial liabilities, except for bank loan, have contractual
