YEW BIO-PHARM GROUP, INC. The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and consolidated financial conditions as ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document. Overview
We are a major grower and seller of yew trees and manufacturer of products made from yew trees, we also sell branches and leaves of yew trees for the manufacture of TCM containing taxol, which TCM has been approved in the PRC for use as a secondary treatment of certain cancers, meaning it must be administered in combination with other pharmaceutical drugs. The yew industry is highly regulated in the PRC because the Northeast yew tree is considered an endangered species. In the third quarter of 2016, we started to sell handmade yew essence oil soaps and candles.
We operated in two reportable business segments. The business of HDS, JSJ, HYF and YBT in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of YBP,Yew Bio-Pharm (HK), and MC was managed and reviewed asUSA segment. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from the PRC segment accounted for approximately 99.91% and 99.999%, respectively, of consolidated revenue; revenues fromUSA segment accounted for approximately 0.09% and 0.001% of consolidated revenue. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues from the PRC segment accounted for approximately 99.94% and 99.81%, respectively, of consolidated revenue; revenues fromUSA segment accounted for approximately 0.06% and 0.19% of consolidated revenue. YBP's revenues were mostly generated by HDS and in the PRC. The expenses incurred in theU.S. were primarily related to fulfilling the reporting requirements of public listed company, stock-based compensation, office daily operations and other costs. As ofJune 30, 2021 , YBP had$5,414 in cash and held the 100% equity interests in its subsidiaries Yew HK and JSJ. Yew HK itself has no business operations or assets other than holding of equity interests in JSJ. JSJ has no business operations and assets with a book value of approximately$9,115 , including approximately$9,115 in cash onJune 30, 2021 . JSJ also holds the VIE interests in HDS through the contractual arrangements (the "Contractual Arrangements") described in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. OnNovember 4, 2014 , HDS established a new subsidiary,Harbin Yew Food Co. LTD. ("HYF"), to develop and cultivate wood ear mushroom drink. As ofJune 30, 2021 , HYF had started pilot production with a limited amount of sales. OnDecember 24, 2020 , HDS acquired 80% ownership of a new subsidiary,Yew (Guangzhou) Bio-Technology Co., Ltd ("YBT"), to marketing and sell cosmetics. As ofJune 30, 2021 , YBT had not started sales. In the event that we are unable to enforce the Contractual Agreements, we may not be able to exert effective control over HDS, HYF and YBT, and our ability to conduct our business may be materially and adversely affected. If the applicable PRC authorities invalidate our Contractual Agreements for any violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations, we would lose control of the VIE and its subsidiary resulting in its deconsolidation in financial reporting and severe loss in our market valuation. OnJune 8, 2016 , YBP established a new subsidiary,MC Commerce Holding Inc. (MC), to sales the Company's yew products in American market. MC had limited operation activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . InDecember 2019 , COVID-19 was reported inChina . Since then, COVID-19 has spread globally, to includethe United States and several European countries. Many countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus and have closed non-essential businesses. The pandemics could result in increased travel restrictions, market downturns and changes in the behavior of the terminal customers of our products related to pandemic fears. In addition, our certain customers could decrease the demand on our products due to the outbreak of the COVID-19. To date, our business is impact by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) inChina . The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments and reactions inChina , which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments to attempt to contain the coronavirus. Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, or reduction of purchase orders could further negatively impact our results of operations.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States . The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, allowance for obsolete inventory, and the classification of short and long-term inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and land use rights and yew forest assets, recovery of long-lived assets, write-down in value of inventory, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. 21 Variable interest entities Pursuant to ASC 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of VIEs. The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive the VIE's residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. HDS is considered a VIE, and we are the primary beneficiary. We entered into agreements with HDS pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of HDS's net income. In accordance with these agreements, HDS shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, JSJ. JSJ shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the HDS. The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As a VIE, HDS' sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of HDS' net income, and their assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, we did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS' financial statements with our financial statements. As required by ASC 810-10, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of HDS which is identified as a VIE of us. A quality assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity's activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The significant terms of the agreements between us and HDS are discussed above in the "Corporate Structure and Recapitalization - Second Restructure" section. Our assessment on the involvement with HDS reveals that we have the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of HDS. JSJ, our wholly own subsidiary, is obligated to absorb the risk of loss from HDS activities and is entitled to receive HDS's expected residual returns. In addition, HDS' shareholders have pledged their equity interest in HDS to JSJ, irrevocably granted JSJ an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC Law, all or part of the equity interests in HDS and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by JSJ. Under the accounting guidance, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of HDS and the results of HDS' operation are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, as a VIE, HDS' sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our income from operations and our net income includes all of HDS' net income. All the equity (net assets) and profits (losses) of HDS are attributed to us. Therefore, no non-controlling interest in HDS is presented in our consolidated financial statements. As we do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the Contractual Arrangements, YBP has a pecuniary interest in HDS that requires consolidation of HDS' financial statements with those of ours. Additionally, pursuant to ASC 805, as YBP and HDS are under the common control of the HDS Shareholders, the Second Restructure was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. As a result, our historical amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give retrospective effect to the Second Restructure, whereby our assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical carrying values and their operations are presented as if they were consolidated for all periods presented, with our results of operations being consolidated from the date of the Second Transfer Agreement. The accounts of HDS are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. We review the accounts receivable balance on a periodic basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer's historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. We recognize the probability of the collection for each customer. Inventories Inventories consisted of raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods-handicrafts, yew seedlings, yew candles and other trees (consisting of larix, spruce and poplar trees). We classify our inventories based on our historical and anticipated levels of sales; any inventory in excess of its normal operating cycle of one year is classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value utilizing the weighted average method. Raw materials primarily include yew timber used in the production of products such as handicrafts, furniture and other products containing yew timber. Finished goods-handicraft and yew seedlings include direct materials and direct labor. We estimate the amount of the excess inventories by comparing inventory on hand with the estimated sales that can be sold within our normal operating cycle of one year. Any inventory in excess of our current requirements based on historical and anticipated levels of sales is classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Our classification of long-term inventory requires us to estimate the portion of inventory that can be realized over the next
12 months. 22 To estimate the amount of slow-moving or obsolete inventories, we analyze movement of our products, monitor competing products and technologies and evaluate acceptance of our products. Periodically, we identify inventories that cannot be sold at all or can only be sold at deeply discounted prices. An allowance will be established if management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record reserves for the difference between the carrying cost and the estimated market value.
Our handicraft and yew furniture products are hand-made by traditional Chinese artisans.
In accordance with ASC 905, "Agriculture", our costs of growing yew seedlings are accumulated until the time of harvest and are reported at the lower of
cost or market. Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis (after taking into account their respective estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Building 10 - 20 years Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years Office equipment 2 - 5 years Motor vehicles 4 - 10 years
Land use rights and yew forest assets
All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. We have recorded the amounts paid to the PRC government to acquire long-term interests to utilize land and yew forests as land use rights and yew forest assets. This type of arrangement is common for the use of land in the PRC. Yew trees on land containing yew tree forests are used to supply raw materials such as branches, leaves and fruit to us that will be used to manufacture our products. We amortize these land and yew forest use rights over the term of the respective land and yew forest use right, which ranges from 15 to 50 years. The lease agreements do not have any renewal option and we have no further obligations to the lessor. We record the amortization of these land and forest use rights as part of our cost of revenues. Revenue recognition We generate our revenue from sales of yew seedling products, sales of yew raw materials for medical application, sales of yew handicraft products, sales of "Others" including yew candles, yew essential oil soap, pine needle extract, complex taxus cuspidate extract, and composite northeast yew extract. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 606, we recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of the products sold. Transfer of control to the customer is based on the standardized shipping terms in the contract as this determines when we has the right to payment, the customer has legal title to the asset and the customer has the risks of ownership. Income taxes
We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC,Hong Kong andthe United States . We account for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence; it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. We apply the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to our liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to our results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. Currently, we have no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future. 23 Stock-based compensation
Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date
fair value of the award.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to nonemployees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505-50. Under FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505-50, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as an expense as the goods or services are received.
Recent accounting pronouncements
InFebruary 2016 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new leasing guidance ("Topic 842") that replaced the existing lease guidance ("Topic 840"). Topic 842 established a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. This guidance also expanded the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. The Company adopted Topic 842 on its effective date ofJanuary 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach; as such, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the adoption had no impact on the Company's previously reported results. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed the Company to carry forward its identification of contracts that are or contain leases, its historical lease classification and its accounting for initial direct costs for existing leases. The impact of adopting Topic 842 was not material to the Company's result of operations or cash flows for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . The Company recognized operating lease liabilities of$350,000 upon adoption, with corresponding ROU assets on its balance sheet. Currency exchange rates
Our functional currency is theU.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and VIE is the RMB. All of our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values ofU.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results of our operations are translated intoU.S. dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates between theU.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses. Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders' equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future. Our financial statements are expressed inU.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB. To the extent we hold assets denominated inU.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB against theU.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of ourU.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB against theU.S. dollar could reduce theU.S. dollar equivalent amounts of
our financial results. 24 Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. OnJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , we had cash balances of$166,931 and$563,792 , respectively. These funds are primarily located in various financial institutions located inChina . Our primary uses of cash have been for the purchase of yew trees, land use rights and yew forest assets. Additionally, we use cash for employee compensation and working capital. Our working capital increased by$7,559,173 to$7,023,447 onJune 30, 2021 , from working capital of$(535,726) onDecember 31, 2020 .

Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the balance sheet and the statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the balance sheets.

consisted of proceeds of $5,300,000 from banks, and offset by repayments of

We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures through
cash flows from operations, bank loans and advances from related parties. From
March 2008 to September 2009 , we received approximately $2.9 million of proceeds
in the aggregate from offerings and sales of our common stock. Except for the
portion used to pay for professional and other expenses in the U.S. , substantial
portions of the proceeds we received through sales of our common stock were
retained in the PRC and used to fund our working capital requirements. As the
PRC government imposes controls on PRC companies' ability to convert RMB into
foreign currencies and the remittance of currency out of China , from time to
time, in order to fund our corporate activities in the U.S. , Zhiguo Wang , our
President and CEO, advanced funds to us in the U.S. and we repaid the amounts
owed to him in RMB in the PRC.
The majority of our funds are maintained in RMB in bank accounts in China . We
receive most of our revenue in the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange
regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions,
interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made
in foreign currencies by complying with certain procedural requirements.
However, approval from China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE")
or its local counterparts is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign
currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment
of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also, at its
discretion, restrict access to foreign currencies for current account
transactions. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 , approximately $53.5
million and $50.3 million , respectively, of our net assets are located in the
PRC. If the foreign exchange control system in the PRC prevents us from
obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may
not be able to transfer funds deposited within the PRC to fund working capital
requirements in the U.S. or pay any dividends in currencies other than theRMB, to our shareholders..

We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder's equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.
