Yanglin Soybean, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: YSYB - News; "Yanglin" or the "Company"), a leading producer and processor of high-quality, non-genetically modified (non-GM) soybean products in China, today reported audited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. Yanglin prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of the United States.
"We are excited to report another year of solid financial results that reflect our position as a leading processor of soybean products in China. During the year, we increased our soybean processing volume to capture additional sales opportunities, as all three main products experienced significant year-over-year growth," commented Mr. Shulin Liu, CEO of Yanglin Soybean.
"Despite the current economic environment, we expect the overall market fundamentals of the Chinese soybean industry to remain generally stable. The economic stimulus package proposed by the Chinese government should have a positive impact on the overall health of the domestic economy. We also believe the central government will continue to adopt policies and measures, such as the national reserve purchase of soybeans, to help support the growth of the domestic agricultural sector. We also expect there will be less imported soybeans coming into China from the US and South America in the latter part of 2009, thus helping to raise the market prices of soybean products. Internally, we will be proactive in exploring new market opportunities. Our growth strategy for 2009 will focus on increasing the market penetration of our existing products complemented by the introduction of several new valued-added, higher margin soybean products later this year, including soy protein concentrates and powder soy oil. These actions will help to promote and further strengthen Yanglin as a leading domestic processor of healthy, high-quality soybean products," concluded Mr. Liu.
Fourth Quarter 2008 Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 were $60.5 million, compared to $48.7 million recorded during the third quarter of 2008. On a year-over-year basis, total revenues declined by about $2.5 million. The decrease in sales was driven by declining sales from the Company's soybean oil and salad oil products. We strategically reduced our processing volume and hence the production volume of soybean products from our original plans during the fourth quarter, as the local purchase price of soybean was increased due to the national strategic reserve purchase by the Chinese government to higher than normal market prices, while the prices of soybean oil and salad oil remained flat. Meanwhile, the sale of soybean meal during the fourth quarter remained strong, as the segment grew more than 11% on a year-over-year basis.
Gross profit for the 2008 fourth quarter was $6.2 million, an increase of 12.7% as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2007. Gross margin was 10.3% for the 2008 fourth quarter as compared with 8.7% for the same period in 2007.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased to $3.9 million, from $933,856 in the same period last year. Selling expenses for the 2008 fourth quarter were $69,086 as compared to $47,958 in the 2007 fourth quarter. General and administrative expenses for the 2008 fourth quarter were $3.8 million, as compared to $885,898 in the year-ago quarter. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly attributed to a one-time expense item of more than $3 million related to disposal of fixed assets. Total operating expenses accounted for 6.4% of total revenue in 2008 fourth quarter, as compared to 1.5% in the same period of 2007.
GAAP operating income for the 2008 fourth quarter was $2.3 million, as compared with of $4.6 million for the same period in 2007. Adjusted non-GAAP operating income during the quarter excluding the one-time item was $5.5 million.
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $2.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with $4.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the same period one year ago. Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the 2008 fourth quarter was $5.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.

Full Year 2008 Results
For the full year 2008, total revenues increased 61.5% to $250.7 million from $155.2 million in 2007. The Company increased its processing and production volume to capture additional sales opportunities and benefited from the higher market prices of soybean-related products during the year.

Gross profit in 2008 was $20.9 million, an increase of 65.3% from $12.6 million a year ago. The gross profit margin was 8.3%, as it remained relatively stable when compared with the 2007 year gross margin of 8.1%.
Selling and marketing expenses for the year 2008 were $249,812, an increase of $103,401 compared with the year 2007. The Company incurred higher selling and marketing expenses due to higher sales-volume-related shipping and handling expenses. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses remained stable at 0.1%. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the year 2008 were $5.6 million, an increase of $3.7 million compared with the year 2007. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributed to the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance project as well as the one-time expenses related to disposal of fixed assets. Overall, SG&A expenses accounted for 2.2% of total revenues in 2008 as compared with 1.2% for 2007.
GAAP operating income increased 41.3% to $15.1 million from $10.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted non-GAAP operating income for 2008 was $18.3 million.
Net interest expenses increased by $282,310 in the year 2008 over 2007. The interest expenses growth during the year was mainly due to the repayment of interests of a short-term bank loan that was due in 2008. As a percentage of sales revenue, net interest expense was 0.27% for the full year 2008 as compared to 0.25% for the full year 2007.
The Company was fully income tax exempt during the year 2008, as it was recognized by the Chinese government as a key leading enterprise in the agriculture industry. The current corporate income tax rate in China is 25%. The Company will continue to enjoy its income tax exempt status during the calendar year 2009, and the status will be up for review at the end of 2009. However, given the size of the Company's operations and its leading status within the soybean industry, the Company expects to continue to receive preferential tax treatment from the local and central governments going forward.
GAAP net income grew 39.3% to a record $14.4 million in 2008, compared with $10.3 million for 2007. GAAP earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.38 compared with $0.07 for 2007. Adjusted non-GAAP net income for 2008 totaled $17.6 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. The weighted average number of shares on fully diluted basis increased by 11% to 37,757,827 shares in 2008 versus 34,003,038 shares in 2007.

Balance Sheet
The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 included cash and cash equivalents of $30.4 million, compared with $9.2 million at December 31, 2007. The short-term loan was reduced to $6.7 million by December 31, 2008 from $12.3 million on December 31, 2007. The Company had net working capital of $37.1 million at the end of December 31, 2008 versus $20.2 million at December 31, 2007. Total shareholders' equity increased to $72.9 million as compared to $54.7 million on December 31, 2007.
The Company's financial position is strong as most sales are on a cash basis with customers paying in advance to secure supplies. The sales process results in minimal accounts receivables as it generates significant cash flow from operations. During the full year 2008, net cash provided by operating activities reached $30.8 million.
2009 Full Year Objectives

continued penetration of the soybean meal market and gaining market
share within the soybean oil and salad oil markets

Company's soybean processing volume
-- Introduce certain value-added soybean products with higher margins,
including soy protein concentrates and powder soy oil, to bolster the
Company's existing products

developments
