REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To:	The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
	American Lorain Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated Balance Sheets of American Lorain Corporation (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

AMERICAN LORAIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

(Stated in US Dollars)

1.	ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

	(a)	Organization history of American Lorain Corporation (formerly known as Millennium Quest, Inc.)

		American Lorain Corporation (the “Company” or “ALN”) was originally a Delaware corporation incorporated on February 4, 1986. From inception through May 3, 2007, the Company did not engage in any active business operations other than in search and evaluation of potential business opportunity to become an acquiree of a reverse-merger deal. On May 3, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement as described under “Reverse-Merger” below. On November 12, 2009, the Company filed a statement of merger in the state of Nevada to transfer the Company’s jurisdiction from Delaware to Nevada.

	(b)	Organization History of International Lorain Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries

		ALN owns 100% of the equity of International Lorain Holding Inc. (“ILH”). ILH is a Cayman Islands company incorporated on August 4, 2006 and was wholly-owned by Mr. Hisashi Akazawa until May 3, 2007. ILH presently has two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Junan Hongrun and Luotian Lorain, and three indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries through Junan Hongrun, which are Beijing Lorain, Dongguan Lorain, and Shandong Greenpia Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Greenpia”).

		In addition, the Company directly and indirectly has 80.2% ownership of Shandong Lorain. The other 19.8% interest is owned by the State under the name of Shandong Economic Development Investment Co. Ltd., which is not included as a part of the Group.

		On April 9, 2009, the Company, through its Junan Hongrun subsidiary, invested cash to establish Dongguan Lorain. Dongguan Lorain is indirectly 100% beneficially owned by the Company.

		On June 28, 2010, the Company signed an equity transfer agreement with Shandong Greenpia. Shandong Greenpia was originally directly owned by Taebong Inc. and Shandong Luan Trade Company. The Company paid $2,100,000 to Korean Taebong Inc. for 50% equity of Shandong Greenpia on September 20, 2010. On September 23, 2010, the Company issued 731,707 shares of restricted stock at an agreed price of $2.87 per share to the owner of Shandong Luan Trade Company, Mr. Ji Zhenwei, for the remaining 50% equity of Shandong Greenpia. Since September 23, 2010, Shandong Greenpia was directly owned by both Junan Hongrun and ILH. As a result, Shandong Greenpia is 100% owned by the Company.

	(c)	Reverse-Merger

		On May 3, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with ILH whereby the Company consummated its acquisition of ILH by issuance of 697,663 Series B voting convertible preferred shares to the shareholders of ILH in exchange of 5,099,503 ILH shares. Concurrently on May 3, 2007, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors and Mr. Hisashi Akazawa and Mr. Si Chen (each a “beneficial owner”) whereby the Company issued 319,913 (after reverse-split at 32.84 from 10,508,643) common shares to its shareholders as consideration of the Company’s reverse-merger with Lorain.

		The share exchange transaction is sometimes referred to hereafter as the “reverse-merger transaction.” The share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of ALN where the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and ILH (the acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. As a result of this transaction, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of ILH.

		Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of the accounting acquirer, ILH. The historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the share exchange has been retroactively restated as if the share exchange transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. See also Note 14 Capitalization.

(Stated in US Dollars)

	(e)	Investment securities

		The Company classifies securities it holds for investment purposes into trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All securities not included in trading securities are classified as available-for-sale.

		Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in the net income. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available for sale securities are excluded from net income and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis.

		A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than- temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged as an expense to the statement of income and comprehensive income and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, and forecasted performance of the investee.

		Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

	(f)	Trade accounts receivables

		Trade accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

	(g)	Inventories

		Inventories consisting of finished goods and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

	(h)	Customer deposits and advances to suppliers

		Customer deposits were received from customers in connection with orders of products to be delivered in future periods.

		Advances to suppliers are good faith deposits paid to suppliers for the purpose of committing suppliers to provide products promptly upon delivery of the Company’s purchase order for raw materials, supplies, equipment, building materials etc. Pursuant to the Company’s arrangements with its suppliers, this deposit is generally 20% of the total amount contracted for. This type of transaction is classified as a prepayment category under the account name “Advance to Suppliers” until such time as the Company’s purchase order is delivered, at which point this account is reduced by reclassification of the applicable amount to the appropriate asset account such as inventory or fixed assets or construction in progress.

	(i)	Property, plant and equipment, net

		Property, plant and equipment, net are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

AMERICAN LORAIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

(Stated in US Dollars)

	Buildings	40 years
	Landscaping, plant and tree	30 years
	Machinery and equipment	10 years
	Motor vehicles	10 years
	Office equipment	5 years

		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 statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

	(j)	Construction in progress

		Construction in progress represents direct and indirect construction or acquisition costs. The construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the asset is completed and ready for intended use.

	(k)	Land Use Rights

		Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over a specified period.

	(l)	Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

		The long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. An impairment is present if carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

		If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes no impairment has occurred to its assets during 2010 and through September 30, 2011.

	(m)	Advertising

		All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

	(n)	Shipping and handling

		All shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.

	(o)	Research and development

		All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

	(p)	Retirement benefits

		Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the consolidated statement of income as incurred.

	(q)	Income taxes

		The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

(Stated in US Dollars)

The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States and People’s Republic of China (PRC) tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

Effective January 1, 2008, PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate across the board for all enterprises regardless of whether domestic or foreign enterprise without any tax holiday which is defined as "two-year exemption followed by three-year half exemption" hitherto enjoyed by tax payers. As a result of the new tax law of a standard 15% tax rate, tax holidays terminated as of December 31, 2007. However, PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises already started tax holidays before January 1, 2008, to continue enjoying the tax holidays until being fully utilized.

The Company is subject to United States Tax according to Internal Revenue Code Sections 951 and 957. Corporate income tax is imposed on progressive rates in the range of: -

	Taxable Income
Rate	Over	But Not Over	Of Amount Over
15%	0	50,000	0
25%	50,000	75,000	50,000
34%	75,000	100,000	75,000
39%	100,000	335,000	100,000

38%	15,000,000	18,333,333	15,000,000
35%	18,333,333	-	-

	(r)	Statutory reserves

		Statutory reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. The Company transferred $737,690 and $2,445,262 from retained earnings to statutory reserves for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit, must appropriate, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

	(s)	Foreign currency translation

		The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Average yearly/quarterly RMB : US$ exchange rate	6.4884	6.7788	6.8164

		The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollars at the rates used in translation.

	(t)	Revenue recognition

		The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

		The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). The Company allows its customers to return products if they are defective. However, this rarely happens and amounts returned have been de minimis.

		The Company gradually switched its sales model from direct sales to third party distributor model and issues 1% sales incentive to distributors. The Company modified it accounting policy for the recognition of revenue accordingly. Given the circumstances of how the Company conducts its incentive program, the Company books the payments settled in cash as a contra-account to Gross Revenue, and includes the amount in its reported “net revenue”. The Company has considered the guidance in FASB ASC 605-50 (EITF 01-9) and will account for its sales incentive program accordingly.

	(u)	Earnings per share

		Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and potential dilutive securities during the year. During the period ended September 30, 2011, no warrants were issued and no stock options were granted. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 81,155 warrants were issued to certain service providers. During the year ended December 31, 2009, 1,334,573 stock options were granted to employees pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan and; 2,255,024 warrants were issued to investors in connection with a PIPE financing. These warrants and options could be potentially dilutive if the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price for these securities.

		The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

	(v)	Financial Instruments

		The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, advances to suppliers, advances to employees, bank loans and notes, accounts payable, other payable, dividend payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term liabilities. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, advances to suppliers, advances to employees, bank loans and notes, accounts payable, other payable, dividend payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of long-term liabilities approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates.

	(w)	Commitments and contingencies

		Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

	(x)	Comprehensive income

		Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income includes the foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized gain or loss.

	(y)	Recent accounting pronouncements

		In January 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, “Receivables Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to be concurrent with the effective date of the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, as presented in proposed Accounting Standards Update, Receivables (Topic 310): Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update apply to all public-entity creditors that modify financing receivables within the scope of the disclosure requirements about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20. Under the existing effective date in Update 2010-20, public- entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20. In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. This new accounting standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of the operations.

		In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Under the amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, entities have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This Update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. This new accounting standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of the operations.

3.	RESTRICTED CASH

	Restricted cash represents interest bearing deposits placed with banks to secure banking facilities in the form of loans and notes payable. The restriction of funds is based on time. The funds that collateralize loans are held for 60 days in savings account that pay interest at the prescribed national daily savings account rate. For funds that underline notes payable, the cash is deposited in six month time deposits that pay interest at the national time deposit rate.

5.	OTHER RECEIVABLES

	Other receivables consisted of the following as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Other non-related receivables		5,697,209		512,440
	$	6,389,505	$	1,492,850

Advances to employees for job/travel disbursements consisted of advances to employees for transportation, meals, client entertainment, commissions, and procurement of certain raw materials. The advances issued to employees may be carried for extended periods of time because employees may spend several months out in the field working to procure new sales contracts or fulfill existing contracts.

Specifically, the company uses every available employee to arrange purchases with desirable chestnut or other raw material growers. However, because many of these growers are in rural farming areas of China where traditional banking and credit arrangements are difficult to implement, the Company must utilize cash purchases and also must contract for its future needs by placing a good faith deposit in cash with the growers. However none of these advances to employees for delivery to the growers on behalf of the Company are “personal loans” to the employees. Advances to employees for purchase of materials in other receivables are adjusted to advances to suppliers as of September 30, 2011.

Related party receivable consisted of the following as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

14.	CAPITALIZATION

	Dating back to May 3, 2007, the Company underwent a reverse-merger and a concurrent financing transaction that resulted in 24,923,178 shares of outstanding common stock that remained unchanged until through December 31, 2007. In connection with the financing, the Company also issued 1,037,858 and 489,330 warrants to the PIPE investors and placement agent, respectively. During 2008, several holders of warrants issued in connection with the financing transaction exercised their rights to purchase shares at the prescribed exercise price. The holders of the warrants exercised the right to purchase a total of 360,207 shares; however, because the holders did not pay in cash for the warrants, 110,752 of those shares were cancelled as consideration in lieu of the warrant holders paying in cash. Ultimately, 249,455 of new shares were issued to those who exercised their warrant. The Company also made an adjustment to its outstanding share count for rounding errors as result of the split and reverse splits made at the time of the reverse merger. The number of shares in the adjustment was an addition of seven shares. The Company believes the adjustment of seven shares is immaterial to both prior and current earnings per share calculation. As detailed in the table below, the total number of outstanding shares at September 30, 2011 was 34,471,801.

	During the year 2009, the Company issued 56,393 shares of stock to its employees and vendors and 5,011,169 shares to investors. The Company issued 1,334,573 stock options to employees on July 28, 2009. 1,753,909 shares of Series A warrants and 501,115 shares of Series B warrants were issued to investors on October 28, 2009.

	During the year 2010, the Company issued 2,000 shares to a service provider on February 10, 2010 and 81,155 warrants to various service providers on January 5, 2010. The Company issued to investors 3,440,800 shares at an agreed price of $2.80 per share for a PIPE financing on September 10, 2010. This financing brought $8,955,730 net proceeds to the Company. The Company issued 5,000 shares to its employee on September 23, 2010. 731,707 shares of restricted stock were issued to the owner of Shandong Greenpia, Mr. Ji Zhenwei on September 24, 2010 as part of acquisition cost. The total number of shares issued and outstanding is 34,444,709 as of September 30, 2011.

	During the year 2010, the Company transferred 5,161,176 from retained earnings to additional paid up capital and 2,445,262 from retained earnings to statutory reserve. These transfers are to be used for future company development, recovery of losses and increase of capital, as approved, to expand production or operations.

	For the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company transferred 737,690 from retained earnings to statutory reserve. These transfers are to be used for future company development, recovery of losses and increase of capital, as approved, to expand production or operations.

(Stated in US Dollars)

Effective January 1, 2008, the PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate across the board for all enterprises regardless of whether domestic or foreign enterprise without any tax holiday which is defined as “two-year exemption followed by three-year half exemption” hitherto enjoyed by tax payers. As a result of the new tax law of a standard 25% tax rate, tax holidays were terminated as of December 31, 2007. However, PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises already started tax holidays before January 1, 2008, to continue enjoying the tax holidays until being fully utilized.

The Company has accrued a deferred tax asset as a result of its net operating loss in 2009 because the Company planned to setup operations in the United States. The company anticipates that the operations within the United States will generate income in the future so that it will be able to take full advantage of the accrued asset. Accordingly the Company has not provided a valuation allowances for the accrued tax asset.

The Company’s has detailed the tax rates for its subsidiaries for 2011 and 2010 in the following table.

Overview

We are an integrated food manufacturing company with headquarters in Shandong Province, China. We develop, manufacture and sell the following types of food products:

.	chestnut products,
.	convenience foods (including ready-to-cook foods, ready-to-eat foods, and meals ready-to-eat); and
.	frozen foods.

We conduct our production activities in China. Our products are sold in 26 provinces and administrative regions in China and 42 foreign countries. We believe that we are the largest processed chestnut foods manufacturer in China. We have developed brand recognition for our chestnut products in China, Japan and South Korea over the past 10 to 15 years. We produced over 50 high value-added processed chestnut products in the third quarter of 2011. We derive most of our revenues from sales in China, Japan and South Korea. Our primary strategy for 2011 is to expand our brand equity in the Chinese market for our convenience foods products while maintaining the steady growth and brand recognition for our chestnut products and frozen products. In addition, we are working to expand our marketing efforts in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East. We currently have limited sales and marketing activity in the United States, although our long-term plan is to significantly expand our activities there.

Sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 continue to exhibit steady growth. Sales continue to be heavily concentrated in the Asian regions, with mainland China, Japan and South Korea accounting for 89.3% of total sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 91.7% over the same period of last year. In the fourth quarter, American Lorain expects to continue seeing higher demand for its chestnut products as we enter traditionally strong quarter, as well as its fast growing convenience food products such as rice boxes, bean products, and pickle vegetables.

Frozen foods sold primarily to select export markets in Europe and wholesale customers like Yums! Foods in China contributed approximately 16.0% in revenues for the first nine months of 2011, compared with 16.6% in the same period of 2010. Currently, American Lorain uses mostly outsourced, third party manufacturing facilities for its frozen foods and maintains limited production exposure and contractual obligations in this segment as part of a broader marketing strategy and in response to a highly competitive environment.

Production Factors that Affect our Financial and Operational Condition

Our business depends on obtaining a reliable supply of various agricultural products, including chestnuts, vegetables, fruits, red meat, fish, eggs, rice, flour and packaging products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the cost of our raw materials increased from $75.5 million to $86.9 million, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, for an increase of approximately 15.2% . During the third quarter of 2011, the cost of our raw materials increased from $34.8 million to $39.9 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2010, for an increase of approximately 14.7% due to a combined effect of increased sales and general inflation. China currently faces high domestic inflation pressures, especially in agricultural products and consumer foods. The prolonged continuation or worsening of such pressure may negatively our sales or profitability. We may have to increase the number of our suppliers of raw materials and expand our own agricultural operations in the future to meet growing production demands. Despite our efforts to control our supply of raw materials and maintain good relationships with our suppliers, we could lose one or more of our suppliers at any time. The loss of several suppliers may be difficult to replace and could increase our reliance on higher cost or lower quality suppliers, which could negatively affect our profitability. In addition, if we have to increase the number of our suppliers of raw materials in the future to meet growing production demands, we may not be able to locate new suppliers who could provide us with sufficient materials to meet our needs. Any interruptions to, or decline in, the amount or quality of our raw materials supply could materially disrupt our production and adversely affect our business and financial condition and financial prospects.

Seasonality

Chestnut season in China lasts from September to January. We purchase and produce raw chestnuts during these months and store them in our refrigerated storage facilities throughout the year. Once we obtain a purchase order during the rest of the year, we remove the chestnuts from storage, process them and ship them within one day of production. Since most chestnuts are produced and sold in the fourth quarter, the Company generally performs best in the fourth quarter.

We have also been working to reduce the seasonality in our business primarily by expanding sales of our convenience food business line. The percentage revenue contribution from convenience food increased from 35.3% in the first nine months of 2010 to 37.0% in the first nine months of 2011, while revenue contribution from chestnuts declined from 48.2% to 47.0% over the same period of time.

Uncertainties that Affect our Financial Condition

We spend a significant amount of cash on our operations, principally to procure raw materials for our products. Many of our suppliers, including chestnut, vegetable and fruit farmers, and suppliers of packaging materials, require us to prepay for their supplies in cash or pay on the same day that such supplies are delivered to us. However, some of the suppliers with whom we have a long-standing business relationship allow us to pay on credit. In the first nine months of 2011, we paid for approximately 4.6% of our raw materials on credit. In the third quarter of 2011, we paid for approximately 12.9% of our raw materials on credit. We fund the majority of our working capital requirements out of cash flow generated from operations as well as bank loans. If we fail to generate sufficient sales, or if our suppliers stop offering us credit terms, we may not have sufficient liquidity to fund our operating costs and our business could be adversely affected.

We also fund approximately 17.7% of our working capital requirements from the proceeds of short-term loans from Chinese banks, as compared to 79.8% over the same period last year, as we obtained, and have fully drawn from, a $15 million long term loan from Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellshaft (“DEG”) and thus reduced our reliance on short term bank loans. However, we expect to continue to fund our working capital requirements with such loans in the future. Such loans are generally secured by our fixed assets, receivables and/or guarantees by third parties. Our balance from short-term bank loans as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $14.8 million. The term of almost all such loans is one year or less. Historically, our lenders have permitted us to roll over such loans on an annual basis. However, we may not have sufficient funds available to pay all of our borrowings upon maturity, and our lenders may not permit us to roll over the loans in the future. Failure to roll over our short-term borrowings at maturity or to service our debt could result in the imposition of penalties, including increases in rates of interest, legal actions against us by our creditors, or even insolvency. In addition, we completed two private placement financings in September 2010 and October 2009 with net proceeds of $9.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively, the proceeds of which were primarily used for working capital. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to enter into any future financing or refinancing agreements on terms favorable to us, especially considering the current instability of the capital markets.

We anticipate that our existing capital resources and cash flows from operations and current and expected short-term bank loans will be adequate to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. However, if available liquidity is not sufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due, our plans include obtaining alternative financing arrangements or further reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that, if required, we will be able to raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required liquidity. Currently, the capital markets for small capitalization companies are extremely difficult and banking institutions have become stringent in their lending requirements. Accordingly, we cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any third party financing.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things, as more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The crisis of the financial and credit markets worldwide in the second half of 2008 has led to a severe economic recession worldwide. Furthermore, the on-going European debt crisis is still weighing on the global economic conditions as well as the financial market. The continuation or worsening of unfavorable economic conditions, including the on-going global economy and capital markets disruptions, could have adverse impacts on our business, operating results or financial conditions in a number of ways. For example, we may experience declines in revenues, profitability and cash flows as a result of reduced orders, delays in receiving orders, delays or defaults in payment or other factors caused by the economic problems of our customers and prospective customers. We may experience supply chain delays, disruptions or other problems associated with financial constraints faced by our suppliers and subcontractors. In addition, changes and volatility in the equity, credit and foreign exchange markets and in the competitive landscape make it increasingly difficult for us to predict our revenues and earnings into the future.

In 2010, we shortened credit terms for many of our international and domestic distributors from between 30 and 180 days to between 30 and 60 days for domestic distributors, and around 90 days for international distributors. Our large customers may fail to meet these shortened credit terms, in which case we may not have sufficient cash flow to fund our operating costs and our business could be adversely affected.

Revenue

Net Revenues. Our net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $55.6 million, which represents an increase of approximately $7.6 million, or 15.7%, from the three-month period ended on September 30, 2010, in which our net revenue was $48.1 million. This increase was attributable to the increased revenues generated from sales of each of our product segments, as reflected in the following table:

	Three months ended
(in thousands of U.S.	9/30/2011	9/30/2010	Increase	Increase
dollars)
Category	($)	($)	($)	(%)
Chestnut	24,468,233	21,233,329	3,234,904	15.2%

Total	55,642,041	48,073,224	7,568,817	15.7%

Cost of Revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we experienced an increase in cost of revenue, which consists of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, of $6.0 million, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2010, from approximately $37.3 million to $43.3 million, reflecting an increase of approximately 16.1% . Approximately 85.5%, or $5.1 million, of this increase was attributable to an increase in raw material costs, which increased from $34.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $39.9 million, or approximately 14.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to higher production volume as our business expands, as well as higher prices for chestnut and other agricultural products caused by general inflation.

The factors that contributed to the remaining 14.5% increase in cost of revenues were: an increase in wage expense for factory workers, an increase in depreciation expenses for capital equipment and an increase in the cost of consumables used in conjunction with capital equipment.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $1.6 million, or 14.6%, to $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $10.8 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of higher revenues, offset by higher costs of revenues, for the reasons indicated immediately above. Our gross margins decreased slightly from 22.4% to 22.2% for the period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2010 due to inflation pressure in the Chinese domestic market. Gross profit margins by product segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were: 23-26% for chestnuts, 20-23% for convenience foods and 16-18% for frozen foods.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses increased $466,317, or 22.5%, to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. The following table reflects the main factors that contributed to this increase as well as the dollar amount that each factor contributed to this increase. The increases listed in the table below were partially offset by decreases in dollar amount of other selling and marketing expenses, including sales commission and sea transportation.

(in U.S. dollars)		Increase in Costs in the
		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 over
		the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Wages and Benefit	$	193,578
Port Fees		50,313
Entertainment Expense		56,929
Exhibition Expense		39,285

Selling and marketing expenses increased as we enhanced our efforts to expand our distribution channels in China as well as internationally, and to build the brand recognition for our chestnut and convenience food products.

General and Administrative Expenses. We experienced a decrease in general and administrative expense of $32,725 from $1,643,967 to $1,611,242 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The general and administrative expenses are higher for the three months ended September 30, 2010 mostly due to expenses related to the Company’s $9.6 million private placement such as filing expense and legal expense. These higher expenses are partially offset by the increase of other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period of last year, as detailed in the following table:

(In U.S Dollars)		Increase in Costs in the
		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Wage and Benefit	$	223,250
Land Use Expense		95,978
Entertainment Expense		50,754
Fuel Expense		23,304

Interest Expenses. We experienced a decrease in interest expenses of approximately $0.6 million from approximately $1.1 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in outstanding balance of our short term bank loans, which was $14.8 million at the end of September 30, 2011, compared to $46.8 million at the end of September 30, 2010.

Income Before Taxation and Minority Interest

Income before taxation and minority interest increased $2.9 million, or 42.4%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $6.9 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was largely attributable to $2.1 million of other income we recognized in the third quarter when we sold the land previously carried on our balance sheet as a short term investment. Without the effect of the land sale, our earnings before tax and minority interest increased 11.9% to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $6.9 million in the same period of last year. Please refer to note 22 to the financial statements for details.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $411,587, or 27.9%, to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase was attributable to the higher earnings before tax and a higher income tax rate in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Effective January 1, 2008, the PRC government implemented a new 25% tax rate across the board for all enterprises, without any tax holiday. However, the PRC government has established a set of transition rules to allow enterprises that already started tax holidays before January 1, 2008 to continue utilizing such tax holidays until they are fully utilized.

The income tax rates applicable to our Chinese operating subsidiaries in 2011 and 2010 are depicted in the following table:

	2011	2010
Junan Hongrun	25%	25%
Luotian Lorain	25%	15%
Beijing Lorain	15%	15%
Shandong Lorain	25%	25%
Dongguan Lorain	25%	25%
Shandong Greenpia	25%	25%

Net Income

Net income increased $2.0 million, or 39.1%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.1 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was largely attributable to the $2.1 million other income we recognized in the third quarter when we sold the land previously carried on our balance sheet as short term investment. Without the effect of the land sale, our net income increased 6.1% to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.1 million in the same period of last year. Please refer to note 22 to the financial statements for details.

Revenue

Net Revenues. Our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $121.8 million, which is approximately $20.0 million, or 19.6%, more than that of the same period ended on September 30, 2010 where we had revenue of $101.9 million. This increase was attributable to the increased revenues generated from sales of each of our product segments, as reflected in the following table:

Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues, which consists of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, was $95.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $16.4 million or 20.9%, as compared to $78.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. Approximately 69.7%, or $11.4 million, of this increase was attributable to an increase in raw material costs, which increased from $75.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $86.9 million, or approximately 15.2%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The factors that contributed to the remaining 30.3% increase in cost of revenues were: an increase in wage expense for factory workers, an increase in depreciation expenses for capital equipment and an increase in the cost of consumables used in conjunction with capital equipment.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased $3.6 million, or 15.3%, to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $23.2 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was attributable to increased sales revenue, offset by higher cost as described above. Our gross margins decreased from 22.8% to 22.0% due to inflation pressure in the Chinese domestic market. Gross profit margins by product segment for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were: 23-26% for chestnuts, 20-23% for convenience foods and 16-18% for frozen foods.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased $350,422, or 7.6%, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $4.6 million for the same period in 2010. Selling and marketing expenses increased as we enhanced our efforts to expand our distribution channels in China as well as internationally, and to build the brand recognition for our chestnut and convenience food products.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.1 million, or 30.3% to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.6 million for the same period of 2010. The increase of general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased salary and benefits costs for our employees relative to our expanded business, the increased compensation for managerial personnel and expenses related to the Company's employee stock option plan.

Interest Expenses. We experienced a decrease in interest expenses of approximately $1.3 million from approximately $3.1 million to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in outstanding balance of our bank loans, which was $14.8 million at the end of September 30, 2011, compared to $46.8 million at the end of September 30, 2010.

Income Before Taxation and Minority Interest

Income before taxation and minority interest increased $4.7 million or 35.4% to $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $13.3 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was largely attributable to $2.1 million other income we recognized in the third quarter when we sold the land previously carried on our balance sheet as short term investment. Without the effect of the land sale, our earnings before tax and minority interest increased 19.6% to $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $13.3 million in the same period of last year.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased approximately $1.1 million, or 35.1% to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.0 million for the same period of 2010. The increase of tax paid was primarily a result of the increase of income as well as higher tax rate in the first nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.

Net Income

Net income increased $3.1 million, or 32.6% to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.6 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was largely attributable to the $2.1 million other income we recognized in the third quarter when we sold the land previously carried on our balance sheet as short term investment. Without the effect of the land sale, our net income increased 15.1% to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $9.6 million in the same period of last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of $11.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $1.3 million from December 31, 2010, primarily due to increase in inventories, receivables and restricted cash. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2011		2010
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	(519	)	(9,431	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(2,054	)	(13,084	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(3,491	)	20,682
Net cash flow (outflow)	(6,063	)	(1,833	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $518,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $9.4 million. The increase of approximately $8.9 million in net cash flows provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of higher net income of $3.6 million, $3.6 million less increase in inventory, and $2.8 million less decrease in accounts and other payables, partially offset by higher increase in receivables of approximately $3.0 million as compared to the same period in 2010.

Investing Activities

Our main uses of cash for investment activities are payments for the acquisition of property, plants and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2011 was $2.1 million and net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $13.1 million. The increase of $11.0 million in net cash flows provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of $8.1 million less payment for fixed assets and $7.5 million proceeds in sale of land investment, offset by additional increase in restricted cash of $7.0 million as compared to the same period in 2010.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2011 was $3.5 million, which is a decrease of $24.2 million from $20.7 million net cash provided by financing activities during the same period in 2010. The decrease of the net cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of decreased net bank borrowing and repayment of bank notes in nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Loan Facilities

As of September 30, 2011, the amounts and maturity dates for our short-term bank loans are as set forth in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The total amounts outstanding were $14.8 million as of September 30, 2011, compared with $25.2 million as of December 31, 2010. We are also carrying a long term loan of $15 million from DEG due in March 2016, with eight equal semi-annual principal payments commencing September 2012. In addition, on February 8, 2011, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China granted us a line of credit of approximately $16.2 million. The line of credit was granted to us with specific allocation of 38% to Junan Hongrun, 38% to Shandong Lorain, and 24% to Beijing Lorain, our three major operating subsidiaries. The line of credit is effective for one year. As of September 30, 2011, we drew down $626,125 from this line of credit.

We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of the credit facilities referred to above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Method of Accounting -- We maintain our general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. Accounting policies adopted by us conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and have been consistently applied in the presentation of our financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of estimates -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation -- Our consolidated financial statements, which include information about our company and our subsidiaries, are compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as minority interests.

As of September 30, 2010, the details pertaining to our subsidiaries were as follows:

	*Place of*	*Attributable equity*		*Registered*
*Name of Company*	*incorporation*	*interest %*		*capital*
Shandong Lorain Co., Ltd	PRC	80.20	$	15,787,744
Luotian Lorain Co., Ltd	PRC	100	$	3,964,749
Junan Hongrun Foodstuff Co., Ltd	PRC	100	$	46,834,155
Beijing Lorain Co., Ltd	PRC	100	$	1,565,313
Shandong Greenpia Foodstuff Co., Ltd	PRC	100	$	2,404,320
Dongguan Lorain Co,,Ltd	PRC	100	$	156,531
International Lorain Holding Inc.	Cayman Islands	100	$	48,710,564

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -- The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the reporting period, there was no impairment loss.

Revenue recognition -- Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of ours exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Our revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax. No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to be concurrent with the effective date of the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, as presented in proposed Accounting Standards Update, Receivables (Topic 310): Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update apply to all public-entity creditors that modify financing receivables within the scope of the disclosure requirements about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20. Under the existing effective date in Update 2010-20, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20. In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. This new accounting is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of the operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Under the amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, entities have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This Update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. This new accounting is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of the operations.
