HEILONGJIANG, China, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Yanglin Soybean, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: YSYB) ("Yanglin" or the "Company"), one of the leading domestic processors of soybean products in China, today announced that it would release its unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 on Monday, August 16, 2010.
Mr. Shulin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Yanglin, commented, "During 2009, the year of global economic crisis, we experienced certain difficulties caused by the unfavorable pricing environment for both our raw materials and end products, as a result of the combined effect of the Chinese government's strategic reserve purchase of domestic soybeans and large imports of soybean into China at lower prices. In the second quarter of 2010, although we still made a net operating loss, we managed to significantly reduce the amount of gross loss and decrease the gross loss margin by about 50%, from negative 10.6% to negative 5.3%, as a result of the improvement in the average selling prices of our products. We believe that as one of the largest domestic soybean processors in Northeast China, with an annual production capacity of 520,000 metric tons, we are well positioned in China's domestic soybean industry, which still receives strong support from the Chinese government and, which we believe has promising prospects in the long-term, considering the growing demand for the soybean products in the country."
He continued to comment on the business update of Yanglin, "Over the past few months of 2010, we have been pleased to see some positive signs coming on the horizon, including the increased demand for consumer products, including soybean products, generated by the rebound of China's economy. We believe that the more the economy improves, the better the commodity market will be. In the first quarter of 2010, we managed to generate a slight gross profit, which we believe is also a positive sign. Although we had a gross loss and a net operating loss in the second quarter of 2010, it should be noted that there have been improvements in our loss margins. We still have confidence in the long-term prosperity of China's soybean market and business, and we believe that we will see a recovery of our operations and profitability."
Second Quarter of 2010 Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $49.9 million, compared to $39.8 million recorded for the second quarter of 2009. The increase in sales during this period was mainly due to the improvements in economic and industrial environments from the exceptionally severe situations caused by global economic crisis in 2009. Generally speaking, the rebound of the economy generated more demand for consumer products, including soybean products. Although the sales of soybean meal, one of our major products, was negatively affected by the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease among animals, in general the sales volume of our products increased materially over the same period of 2009. However, due to the negative impact of the large and cheap imports of soybeans and the breakout of the foot-and-mouth disease on the prices of soybean products, we generated a gross loss. Gross loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $2,623,972, as compared to a gross loss of $4,219,442 for the second quarter of 2009.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 increased to $1,226,883, from $620,184 in the second quarter of 2009. Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2010 increased to $67,110, slightly lower than $60,303 for the second quarter of 2009. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $807,741, as compared to $559,881 for the second quarter of 2009. The increase was mainly due to material increase in depreciation charges, including those of the temporarily idle assets. During the second quarter of 2010, we found that the value of an idle salad oil production facility, which had been identified as impaired and was reclassified to assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2009, had been further impaired, because the market value for such asset decreased. Therefore, we took an impairment charge of $352,032 on these assets.
Operating loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $3,850,855, as compared to a loss of $4,839,626 for the second quarter of 2009. Interest expenses increased to $298,107 for the second quarter of 2010, from $94,091 for the second quarter of 2009, as restated. The change was mainly caused by a material increase in bank borrowings. Yanglin has been recognized as a "Key Leading Enterprise" in the industrial sector of the important agriculture industry by the Chinese government. We believe that the Company will continue to benefit from its income tax exempt status from January 2010 until June 2012.
During 2009, we adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". In 2009, we incurred non-cash income of $59.4 million resulting from the change in fair value of warrants issued to investors in conjunction with the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in October 2007. The accounting treatment of the warrants resulted from an anti-dilution provision to the warrant holders. In the second quarter of 2010, the non-cash income related to the change in fair value of these warrants was $6.7 million, as compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, as restated.
Net income for the second quarter of 2010, after including the non-cash income from the change in fair value of warrants, totalled $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $2.4 million, after including the non-cash income from the change in fair value of the warrants, or $(0.12) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009.
Cash Position
The Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 included cash of $29.9 million, compared with $34.8 million at December 31, 2009. The Company had net working capital of $23.2 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to $26.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Total shareholders' equity was $37.7 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to $30.9 million as of December 31, 2009.
