Posted on August 23, 2010 at 16:36 PM EDT
China Organic Agriculture, Inc. (OTCBB: CNOA), a company headquartered in Liaoning Province in China engaged in the trading and distribution of agricultural products, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June, 30 2010. 2010 Second Quarter Key Financial Items
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $31.3 million compared to $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a slight increase of 4.3%. This increase was attributed to a higher market price for agriculture products. The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $8.2million (or approximately 26% of revenue) compared to $6.9 million (or approximately 23% of revenue) for second quarter of 2009. This improvement in gross profit was in part attributed to the Company’s decision to more actively trade in beans and soybeans, which have better margins than certain other commodities. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected increases of $511,223 and $952,709, respectively from the comparable 2009 periods. These increases are largely due to higher professional fees and expenses for corporate activities in 2010 for US and China as well as the increase in maintenance and upkeep fees of the Company’s Bellisimo Vineyard. As the Company owns 60% of its Dalian Huiming subsidiary, 40% of total net income from Dalian Huiming was recorded as income attributed to noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest increased from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting increased net income from the trading operations conducted by Dalian Huiming. Net income attributable to CNOA shareholders was $2.80 million for the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 12.7% compared to net income attributable to CNOA shareholders in the same period of 2009 of $2.5 million. Earnings per share increased to $0.04 per diluted share compared to $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009. However for the six month period, earning per share dropped from $0.09 to $0.08. CEO Qi Qian: “The management is pleased with the results and will seek to continue to attain growth and maximize our shareholders’ value.” Financial Condition As of June 30, 2010, China Organic Agriculture had cash and cash equivalents of $23.8 million, up from $18.5 million as of December 31, 2009, excluding restricted cash.
