BUSINESS OF ENERGROUP HOLDINGS CORPORATION
 
Prior to the Exchange Transaction, Energroup was a public reporting “shell” company with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies with the intent that, if such investigation warrants, a reverse merger transaction be negotiated and completed pursuant to which Energroup would acquire a target company with an operating business with the intent of continuing the acquired company’s business as a publicly held entity.

BUSINESS OF PRECIOUS SHEEN INVESTMENTS LIMITED

PSI is a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands in May 2007, and as of the Closing, is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Energroup. PSI owns 100% of the equity in Chuming, which is a holding company for the following three operating subsidiaries: (i) Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd., (ii) Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., and (iii) Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd., each of which is a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, China.
 
Company Organization
 
Dalian Precious Sheen Investments Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Chuming”) is a holding company established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) formed for the purpose of providing a group structure to enhance the viable capacity of its three PRC operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Chuming Operating Subsidiaries”):

 
·
Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is acquiring, slaughtering and packaging of pork and cattle;

 
·
Dalian Chuming Processed Foods Company Ltd., whose primary business activity is the processing of raw and cooked meat products; and

 
·
Dalian Chuming Sales Company Ltd., which is responsible for Chuming’s sales, marketing and distribution operations.

The three operating subsidiaries are spin-off constituents of Chuming’s former parent company, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. Chuming’s primary business activities are the production, packing and sale of fresh pork and also production of processed meat products for distribution and sale to clients throughout the PRC. Chuming is headquartered in the City of Dalian, Liaoning Province of China.

Corporate Reorganization

PRC law currently has limits on foreign ownership of certain companies. To enable Chuming to raise equity capital from investors outside of China, it established an offshore holding company by incorporating Precious Sheen Investments Limited in the British Virgin Islands (“PSI”) in May 2007. On September 26, 2007, Chuming entered into share transfer agreements with Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., under which Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. agreed to transfer ownership of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries to Chuming. On October 23, 2007, Chuming completed all required registrations to complete the share transfer, and became the 100% owner of the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries. On November 14, 2007 the Dalian Commerce Bureau approved the transfer of Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd.’s 68% interest in Chuming to PSI, and upon this transfer, Chuming became a wholly foreign owned enterprise, with PSI as the 100% owner of Chuming (including its subsidiaries). On December 13, 2007, the PRC government authorities issued Chuming a business license formally recognizing it as a wholly foreign owned enterprise, of which PSI is the sole shareholder.

Company Overview and History

Originally established in 1999 as Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. (the former parent of Chuming), Chuming is a processor and supplier of fresh and frozen meat and meat products, the majority of which are pork or pork-based. Chuming is among a select group of industrialized farming corporations in northeastern China and is known for its international quality management standards and international safety certifications. Chuming is the second largest pork producer in both China’s Northeast Region (which has a population of approximately 108 million), as well as in Liaoning Province (which has a population of approximately 42 million), and is the largest in Dalian City (which has a population of approximately 3 million). At present, all of Chuming’s sales are within China, which is the world’s largest consumer of pork with 54 million metric tons consumed in 2006. In addition to pork being the meat of choice of Chinese consumers, due to the rapid development of the Chinese economy, urbanization and strong income growth, pork consumption patterns are changing and consumption levels continue to increase. Chuming has been a significant producer and supplier in China’s meat industry and has experienced profitability and growth since its inception in 1999. From 2003 to 2006, Chuming’s sales grew at an average rate of 42% per annum.

Since 1999, the Chuming has been producing and marketing frozen fresh pork and meat products. The major products are:

 
·
Fresh meat - pork that is processed in a controlled environmental chamber with closely monitored temperatures to ensure quality and safety standards right up to delivery.

 
·
Frozen fresh meat - butchered pigs that are processed and immediately frozen, such as smoked pork, ham and roast.

 
·
Frozen fresh byproducts - pork byproducts including the pig’s liver, stomach, intestine, head and hoof.

Chuming and its former parent, Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., have established and maintained an integrated pork production cycle that culminates in sales of fresh and frozen pork. This cycle includes feedstuff production (of which Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. is capable of producing 300,000 tons annually, feeding one million pigs), pig breeding, slaughtering, processing, packaging and distribution. The predecessor company of the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., The Dalian Chuming Industry Co., established the first modern pig-breeding farm in Dalian in 1992. This initiative was undertaken as a major project of the ‘Vegetable Basket Project’ in Dalian. The Vegetable Basket Project is a government-funded program devised by China’s Ministry of Agriculture to improve China’s unstable food supply and increase food production.

Chuming is the first company in China’s meat industry to receive “Green Food” certification from China’s Ministry of Agriculture. Green Food is an innovative certification project unique to China that is awarded to food producers who produce using environmentally sustainable methods and meet certain technical standards of quality control, safety, and product quality and low levels of pollution. Under strict supervision, control and regulation in production, processing, packing, storage and transportation, Green Food-certified companies must apply these quality control standards from field to customer and regulate the application of inputs, including pesticide, fertilizer, veterinary drug and additives to minimize environmental pollution and prevent toxic and harmful substances from entering the food supply chain. The Green Food certification is based on standards defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (“CAC”), a joint body of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization.

In 2007, certain investors and members of Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd.’s management team established Chuming as a wholly foreign owned enterprise and holding company for the Chuming Operating Subsidiaries. Chuming operates its business in the city of Dalian, in the Liaoning Province of China.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors; Term of Office
 
Our board of directors currently consists of one member, Mr. Timothy P. Halter, who is no longer an employee. All members of our board of directors serve in their capacity until their terms expire or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors will be not less than one.
 
In connection with the Exchange Transaction, Timothy P. Halter has agreed to resign from our board of directors and elect Mr. Shi Huashan as the successor chairman of our board of directors. In this capacity, Mr. Shi Huashan will be responsible for meeting with our Chief Financial Officer to review financial and operating results, reviewing agendas and minutes of board and committee meetings, and presiding at the meetings of the board of directors. The foregoing director resignations and appointments shall be effective upon the conclusion of the 10-day Period.

Board and Committee Meetings; Director Independence

Energroup’s Board of Directors held no formal meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the sole director and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the sole director are, according to the corporate laws of the State of Nevada and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

As of this date, the Registrant’s Board of Directors has not appointed an audit committee or compensation committee; however, the Registrant is not currently required to have such committees. The functions ordinarily handled by these committees are currently handled by our entire board of directors. Our board of directors intends, however, to review our governance structure and institute board committees as necessary and advisable in the future, to facilitate the management of our business.

Energroup’s current Board of Directors believes that the departing sole director, Timothy P. Halter, does not qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. However, the Board of Directors has agreed to elect Wendy Li as a director of the Registrant and management believes that Wendy Li meets the criteria to serve as our “audit committee financial expert.”

Energroup’s Board of Directors has determined that Energroup’s departing sole director, Timothy P. Halter, does not qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. However, effective upon the conclusion of the 10-day Period, our board of directors shall consist of four independent directors, Wang Shuying, Matthew Dillon, Wendy Li and Nestor Gounaris, and three non-independent directors, Shi Huashan, Wang Shu and Ma Fengqin. Based on our current knowledge, we believe that a majority of our board of directors will consist of independent directors in accordance with definitions and criteria applicable under the NASDAQ rules.
 
Energroup does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Registrant believes that a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until Energroup’s business operations develop to a more advanced level. The Registrant does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors, and does not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The current Board of Directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Registrant knows of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against Energroup, nor is Energroup involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of its current directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to Energroup.


CERTAIN RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS

In addition to the Exchange Transaction, the Registrant had the following transactions, since the beginning of Energroup’s last fiscal year in which Energroup was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of Energroup’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

They are also under contract with Chuming’s former parent, the Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd., although they work for Chuming on a full time basis.

Chuming conducts business with the following related parties: Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. which is currently composed of the following subsidiaries that are not consolidated in Chuming: (1) Dalian Chuming Industrial Development Co., Ltd., (2) Dalian Chuming Trading Co., Ltd, (3) Dalian Mingxing Livestock Product Co.

On December 17, 2007 Dalian Chuming Slaughter and Packaging Pork Company, a subsidiary of Chuming, entered into a Long-Term Hog Procurement Agreement IV with Dalian Chuming Group Company, Ltd., Chuming’s former parent. This agreement specifies that Dalian Chuming Group Co., Ltd. should supply no less than 750,000 live hogs to Chuming in 2008, 800,000 in 2009, and 800,000 in 2010, and the price for the hogs is at the fair market price at the time of acquisition.

Related Party Transactions of Energroup

Set forth below are the related party transactions since December 31, 2006 between the Company’s shareholders, officers and/or directors, and the Company.

The Company recorded a liability of $25,871 as of March 31, 2007. The unsecured loan bears no interest and is due on demand. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, a shareholder paid $3,193 and $2,538 in expenses on behalf of the Company, respectively.

On May 3, 2007, the Company, along with its then-current directors and executive officers, entered into a stock purchase agreement with Halter Financial Investments, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“HFI”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to HFI 11,200,000 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 1,600,000 post-reverse split shares) of unregistered, restricted common stock for $350,000 cash. This transaction closed on May 22, 2007. In conjunction with this stock purchase agreement, on May 3, 2007, certain of the Company’s then-principal shareholders, as a condition of the closing of the stock purchase agreement surrendered and cancelled 1,350,000 then-issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock. These shares were surrendered as follows: Jenson Services, Inc., which then owned 2,480,500 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 354,290 post-reverse split shares) (or approximately 68% of our then-outstanding voting securities) delivered 375,000 of its pre-reverse split shares (approximately 53,572 post-reverse split shares) for cancellation; James P. Doolin, which then owned 475,000 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 67,858 post-reverse split shares) (or approximately 13% of our then-outstanding voting securities) delivered 475,000 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 67,858 post-reverse split shares) for cancellation; and his sister, Alycia Anthony, which then owned 500,000 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 71,429 post-reverse split shares (or approximately 14% of our then-outstanding voting securities) delivered 500,000 pre-reverse split shares (approximately 71,429 post-reverse split shares) for cancellation. All of these cancelled shares were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of the Company. No consideration was given by the Company in the cancellation of these shares. The effect of the share cancellations was to reduce the carrying par value of shares surrendered and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.
 
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, on May 3, 2007, the Company’s then-current board of directors declared a special cash distribution of $0.1219 per share to the Company’s shareholders of record as of May 17, 2007, the record date for the special cash distribution. Neither HFI or the shares surrendered by Jenson Services or James P. Doolin or Alycia Anthony participated in the special cash distribution. The special cash distribution was paid on May 29, 2007, to shareholders of record on the record date, subject to the closing of the stock purchase agreement. The special cash distribution was paid to the holders of an aggregate 2,297,421 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock, after giving effect to the cancellation of 1,350,000 pre-reverse split shares discussed above, which resulted in a total cash distribution of approximately $280,000. The special cash distribution was a condition of the closing of the stock purchase agreement. The special cash distribution is treated as a cash dividend in the Company’s financial statements for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2007.

Further, the stock purchase agreement contained covenants that required HFI, in its capacity as the Company’s controlling shareholder following closing of the stock purchase agreement, to agree that it will not approve any reverse splits other than a one-time reverse split of not greater than 1-for-7 without the prior consent of the Company’s former officers as representatives of the Company’s continuing shareholders; that it will not authorize the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock except in connection with a combination transaction with a corporation with current business operations (a “Going Public Transaction”); and that it will not allow the Company to enter into a Going Public Transaction unless the Company, on a combined basis with the operating entity with which it completes a Going Public Transaction, satisfies the financial conditions for listing on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market immediately following the closing of the Going Public Transaction. These conditions were either satisfied or waived prior to the closing of the Exchange Transaction. The foregoing stock purchase agreement also grants demand and “piggy back” registration rights to HFI and to any continuing holders of the Company’s common stock that are deemed to be holding “restricted securities.”
