The capitalizations are described in further detail in Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
China Organic was organized under the laws of Delaware in January 2006. It never initiated any business activity.

Jilin Huaren is engaged in the business of research, development, production and sale of organic foods and healthcare products. All of Jilin Huarens business is currently in China.
Jilin Huaren is a domestic enterprise incorporated in Jilin district of People Republic of China (PRC) in February 2000. Jilin Huaren was formally known as Jilin KangJian Technology Trade Center (Jilin KangJian) and changed its name to Jilin Huaren Organic Product Co., Ltd. in December 23, 2004.
Jilin KangJian remained inactive and incurred minor administrative expenses prior to December 31, 2003. It was only until March 2004, Jilin KangJian began its business operation as a wholesaler of organic agricultural products, nutritional health food products, and cosmetics related merchandises in PRC. The company is selling the cosmetics products under the Huaren brand name.
2. Basis of Preparing Accounting Statement
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of China Huaren Organic Products Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2006 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

c. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses that will be incurred in the collection of all receivables. The estimated losses are based on a review of the current status of the existing receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $27,412 and $2,549, respectively
d. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Estimated obsolescence and any excess of carrying costs over market are provided for through valuation reserves.
e. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, the office equipments and vehicles have estimated useful lives of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expended as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operation.
f. Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairments are written off when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount exceeds the recoverability or the estimated future cash flows expected from these assets. For long lived assets to be disposed, impairment is written off when the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset less the cost of disposal.
g. Warranties
The Company offers a commercial warranty on its products. Based on historical returns, an estimated return reserve is accrued for in the period revenue is recognized. The companys experience for costs and expenses in connection with such warranties had been minimal and through March 31, 2007 and 2006, no amount had been reserved.
h. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other receivable, employee travel and operation advance, advance to related parties, advance to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer deposits, taxes payable, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The total expense for the above plan amounted to $1,921 and $3,051 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
l. Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are local currencies, primarily the Chinese Renminbi. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income or loss.
m. Income Taxes

The Company's PRC subsidiaries file income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws.
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

China Huaren Organic Products Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Companys only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
o. Segment Reporting
SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires disclosure of reportable segments used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are categorized by products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Companys financial statements as substantially all of the Companys operations and management is under a single operating segment.
p. Recent Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements". SAB No. 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and an income statement (rollover) approach, then evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the bulletin during 2006. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in accordance with FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The requirements of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007.
4. Accounts receivable
Due to the perishable nature of the Companys agricultural products inventory, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its customer, Jilin Wancheng Miye Co., Ltd. (Wancheng), which is non-related party, in April 2005 to transfer a bulk of its temporary excessive crops to Wancheng for the period from April 2005 to February 2006. The reason for the transfer was to avoid selling the inventory in an open market at a discounted price.

China Huaren Organic Products Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The inventory was transferred to Wancheng at cost, $5,211,843 (equivalent to RMB 42,060,503), in 2005. Wancheng reimbursed the Company for the crops in kind between April 2006.and November 2006.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company, facing an imminent expiration date on organic crops that it had received from Wancheng, sold those crops at cost to Yushu Wanli Co., Ltd (Yushu) pursued to a sales contract. This sale on March 15, 2007 increased the Companys accounts receivable by approximately $5,195,915 (equivalent to RMB 40,312,786, which included the merchandise price plus VAT and other sales taxes). Yushu Wanli Cp., Ltd. is a non-related third party. Based upon the sales contract, Yushu started to pay the amount due to the Company in May 2007.

7. Advance to Related Parties

9. Deposit for Purchase of Fixed Assets
Starting from late 2005, the subsidiary in China, Jilin Huaren, has intended to purchase an office building from an unrelated company in P. R. China. The purchases price was $971,100 (equivalent to RMB 7,500,000) and fix up construction cost was $339,703 (equivalent to RMB 2,623,593). During year 2006, all these cost had been paid to seller by Jilin Huaren, but the title to the property has not been transferred. Jilin Huaren had occupied the property since 2005 without paying any rent. Accordingly, Jilin Huaren has recognized $16,704 (equivalent to RMB129,600) of rent expenses per year since October 1, 2005, and has recognized an equal amount of interest income imputed on the payments that Jilin Huaren made to the seller since 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Jilin Huaren commenced its marketing operations in March of 2005. The growth of our business continued to the end of 2005, then came to a halt. During the winter of 2005, the government of China required that enterprises engaged in multi-level product distribution substantially revise the arrangements they had with their distribution network. Therefore, during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we had revenues of only $103,309 as we spent the quarter rebuilding our distribution network to achieve compliance with Chinas regulations. We completed that rebuilding process in time to return to an almost-full marketing effort by mid-year, and reported annual revenues of $2,188,146 in 2006.
Our supply-to-distribution system continues to experience inefficiencies, however. In the Spring of both 2006 and 2007 we found ourselves with large inventories of perishable goods that we were unable to sell before their expiration dates. So at both times we transferred the goods to another distributor at cost. The transaction in 2007 involved a sale to Yushu Wanli Co., Ltd. of foodstuffs for $5,195,915 (including tax) under a contract that calls for payments to begin in cash in May 2007. This transaction relieved us of the problem of perishable inventory. But the result was that we realized only $251,319 in gross profit for the quarter on revenues of $5,235,293, or a gross margin of 4.8%. This gross margin is inadequate to provide the funds we need for more than a minimal level of operations.
Despite our relatively small gross margin, the first quarter of 2007 was profitable due to our equally low level of expenses. Our net income for the quarter was $51,161, compared to a net loss of $53,334 in the first quarter of 2006. The fact that we are able to operate profitably, despite low margins, is attributable to two essential characteristics of our business model:
·
There are thousand of individuals involved in selling our products but we incur no payroll obligation for them. They are owners or employees of the companies that distribute for us. So our selling expenses have been less than 4% of our revenue since we began operations in 2005.
·
Our manufacturing activity is completely outsourced to enterprises dedicated to organic agricultural manufacturing. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, our general and administrative expense equaled less than 2% of our revenue. In that quarter our depreciation expense often a major factor in agribusiness operations was only $3,056, since we own no manufacturing equipment.
General and administrative expense was low in the first quarter of 2007 in part because we remained inactive in the US capital markets. In November of 2006 we effected the reverse merger of Jilin Huaren into China Huaren (then called Ultradata Systems, Inc.) in order to be able to access those markets. Our status as a U.S. public company will soon cause an increase in our general and administrative expense, as we must now bear the cost of complying with US securities regulation obligations, as well as costs associated with investor and shareholder relations.
Our business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; while the translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled accumulated other comprehensive income, since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business. During the first quarter of 2006 the unrealized gain on foreign currency translations added $85,223 to our accumulated other comprehensive income.
13
For the future, we expect that our expenses will grow proportionately with our revenues. As our distribution network expands, we are required to hire additional supervisory personnel and to provide training for new distributors. This ratio should remain consistent until we acquire our own production facilities. That event, if it happens, would increase our gross margins but also increase our general and administrative expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2007 we had working capital of $6,769,033, $4,079 less than at December 31, 2006. We had no long-term liabilities. However, our working capital consisted primarily of the account receivable from Yushi Wanli Co., Ltd. and prepaid expenses, which are mostly advances for future inventory. Since the market for our organic products continues to grow, we do not anticipate any difficulty in liquidating these assets. Accordingly, we have sufficient capital resources to fund our business, but lack the cash resources necessary to make our distribution network more efficient.
During 2005 we contracted to purchase an office building for our operations. We have deposited $1,310,803 (equivalent to RMB 10,123,593) with the seller to cover the cost of the building and certain improvements that we require. Title to the building has not passed to us yet, however. So our investment is recorded on the balance sheet as a deposit for purchase of fixed assets.
The two factors that make our business particularly profitable (the independent distribution network and the outsourced manufacturing) also have an adverse effect on our cash flow. Maintaining our distribution network requires that we tolerate receivables aging that would not be acceptable if we sold direct to the stores. At the same time, the fact that we maintain substantial inventories of raw materials and work in process on consignment at our manufacturing contractors requires that we carry inventory levels that exceed those that our own manufacturing facilities would require During the first quarter of 2007, we sold significant amount of organic crops which were recognized as inventories at the end of 2006. These transactions increased our accounts receivable (including taxes) more than they decreased inventories as of March 31, 2007. As a result, our operations during the first three months of 2007 yielded only $39,775 in cash.
The cash demands of our business mean that in order to make capital improvements we will require additional capital from external sources. Our plan is to acquire additional organic soil resources in the near future, and to invest in manufacturing capability over the longer term. To fund those additions to our balance sheet, we intend to sell equity. At the present time, however, we have received no commitments from any source.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results
You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
There is no assurance that the market for organic foods and cosmetics will grow in China.
The concept of organic foods and organic cosmetics is relatively new in China. In order for the market for organic agricultural products to develop, it will be necessary for a portion of the Chinese population to become willing to pay the extra cost or organic products in order to obtain the benefits
14
of organic products. Although the economy of China is growing, the average income of the Chinese population remains far below that of the European and American countries where organic products have developed a clientele. If a sufficient portion of the Chinese population is not willing to pay the extra cost of organic products, our business is likely to fail.
We may not be able to increase production to the level necessary to meet demand.
Until recently we obtained all of our raw materials from independent farmers. Recently we acquired 200 hectares of land on which we have initiated organic farming operations. If our program for promoting our brand is successful, those resources may be inadequate to provide the raw materials that we will need. We will then have to obtain additional hectares of organic soil. There are few large areas of organic soil available, and there is considerable competition to acquire them. On the other hand, it takes over three years to convert soil that has been used for non-organic farming into soil useable in organic agriculture. If, therefore, we are unable to produce sufficient raw materials to meet the demand for our products, the negative effect may offset the benefits of our marketing program, and our business will fail.
We are subject to the risk of natural disasters.
We produce all of our raw materials, and have not developed alternative sources for raw materials. If our crops are destroyed by drought, flood, storm, blight, or the other woes of farming, we will not be able to meet the demands of our distribution network, and the network is likely to atrophy. This could have a long-term negative effect on our ability to grow our business, in addition to the near-term loss of income.
If we lost control of our distribution network, our business would fail.
We depend on our distribution network for the success of our business. Competitors may seek to pull our distribution network away from us. In addition, if dominant members of our distribution network become dissatisfied with their relationship with Jilin Huaren, a concerted effort by the distribution network could force us to accept less favourable financial terms from the distribution network. Either of these possibilities, if realized, would have an adverse effect on our business.
A recession in China could significantly hinder our growth.
The success of our efforts to introduce organic foods into the urban diet in China will depend on continuation of recent improvements in the Chinese economy and the amount of disposable income available to the Chinese population. If money becomes tight, individuals will be less willing to pay extra for the benefits of organic food. Many financial commentators expect a recession to occur in China in the near future. The occurrence of a recession could significantly hinder our efforts to implement our business plan.
Our business and growth will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key personnel that are in high demand.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled marketing personnel and agricultural technicians. Qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand. Therefore we may not be able to successfully attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed.
15
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in China.
The Peoples Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public company. If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.
Government regulation may hinder our ability to function efficiently.
The national, provincial and local governments in the Peoples Republic of China are highly bureaucratized. The day-to-day operations of our business require frequent interaction with representatives of the Chinese government institutions. The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be daunting. Significant delays can result from the need to obtain governmental approval of our activities. These delays can have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations. In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to organic farming and production may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect our profitability.
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United States.
The Peoples Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our operating results.
Jilin Huaren generates revenues and incurs expenses and liabilities in Renminbi, the currency of the Peoples Republic of China. However, as a subsidiary of Ultradata, it will report its financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars. As a result, our financial results will be subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. From time to time, the government of China may take action to stimulate the Chinese economy that will have the effect of reducing the value of Renminbi. In addition, international currency markets may cause significant adjustments to occur in the value of the Renminbi. Any such events that result in a devaluation of the Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar will have an adverse effect on our reported results. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.
We have limited business insurance coverage.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our
16
operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
China Huaren is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of China Huaren have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of China Huaren.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Pursuant to Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by China Huaren in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commissions rules. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information China Huaren is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that China Huarens system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of March 31, 2007 for the purposes described in this paragraph.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during China Huarens first fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect China Huarens internal control over financial reporting.
