(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company believes is meaningful
information for purposes of performance evaluation and it allows for
comparisons of the Company's performance to the industry as it eliminates
the impact of financing decisions, capital structure and the cost basis of
assets. Hanfeng calculates it by adding (1) net income, (2) interest expense
(or deducting interest income), (3) depreciation expense reported as part of
cost of goods sold, (4) depreciation expense reported as a line item on the
income statements, (5) fixed asset write-down, (6) income tax expense
reported on the income statementand, (7) by deducting foreign exchange gain.
This might not be the same definition used by other companies.

Sales increased 6 percent to $65.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $61.4 million achieved for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as a result of sales of CarbonPower coated urea ("CPU") and partially offset by a decrease in tonnage sold of slow and controlled release fertilizers ("SCR"). EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.6 million versus $9.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily due to a lower gross profit and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the Indonesian joint venture's first quarter of operations. Net income (loss) decreased to a loss of $0.7 million for the current quarter versus net income of $6.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of a lower EBITDA and a fixed asset write-down of $5.0 million relating to the prill tower assets at the Company's Jiangsu facility. Loss per share was $0.01 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to earnings per share (EPS) of $0.10 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding the impact of the fixed asset write-down, EPS for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 was $0.06.

Sales for the first half of fiscal 2011 were $107.8 million compared to $116.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in SCR tonnage sold and partially offset by sales of CPU. EBITDA for the six-month period ending December 31, 2010 was $10.1 million compared to $17.7 million in the comparative period in 2009. Net income was $1.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 versus $12.4 million in the first six-month period of fiscal 2010. The decreases in EDITDA and net income in the six-month period of fiscal 2011 were due to the aforementioned factors. EPS was $0.03 for the six-month period ending December 31, 2010 versus $0.20 for the six-month period ending December 31, 2009. Excluding the impact of the fixed asset write-down EPS for the six-month period in fiscal 2011 was $0.10.

SCR

Hanfeng sold 139,379 metric tonnes ("MT") of SCR for the quarter ending December 31, 2010, 75,747 MT more than the quarter ending September 30, 2010 as a result of commencing shipments to Beidahuang Agricultural Company Limited ("Beidahuang") during the quarter. Sales of SCR decreased by 15,583 tonnes during the current quarter versus the comparative quarter ending December 31, 2009 as a result of lower production volumes and partially offset by the commencement of deliveries to Beidahuang. Sales of SCR for the six-month period ending December 31, 2010 was 203,011 MT, a 27 percent decrease from the 277,767 MT sold in the first six-month period of fiscal 2010 as a result of lower production volumes and an increase in finished goods inventory for expected future deliveries to Beidahuang.

Gross profit for SCR on a per metric ton basis in the second quarter of 2011 was RMB 308, a 28 percent decrease from the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the comparative period last year as a result of initial deliveries to Beidahuang during the quarter. The initial sales to Beidahuang were at a reduced gross margin as a result of taking deliveries ahead of schedule and Beidahuang's requirement to further process the delivered products.

CPU

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, Hanfeng sold 29,982 MT of the new CPU product despite receiving the CarbonPower raw materials late in the quarter. As at December 31, 2010 Hanfeng had 4 to 6 months of CarbonPower inventory in China and in North America. Hanfeng began commercial sales of CPU in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 after securing the exclusive supply and distribution agreement with FBSciences, Inc. in November 2009.

The average selling price of CPU in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was RMB 2,131 per MT, up 3 percent from RMB 2,078 per MT in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Despite urea prices rising 14 percent in the second quarter of 2011, Hanfeng's average selling price of CPU and average accounting cost of urea was consistent on a quarter over quarter basis.

Gross profit per metric ton for CPU was RMB 102 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, consistent with the gross profit of RMB 107 achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Hanfeng has in the past experienced some importation delays due to the nature of the CarbonPower® product and the sensitivity in China regarding biological products being imported into China. The Company is continuing to identify the most efficient manner in which to import the CarbonPower® product but does expect to continue to experience some delays. The Company is working at registering the product with the proper authorities in China. Once completed, this is expected to standardize the importation procedures.

The average foreign exchange rate (i.e., CAD to RMB) for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was 6.55 compared with 6.45 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, representing a 2 percent appreciation in the Canadian dollar. While Hanfeng earns almost all of its revenue and pays almost all of its suppliers in RMB, it reports its financial results in Canadian dollars. The appreciation of the Canadian dollar over the reporting period had a negative impact on revenue and gross profits reported in Canadian dollars.

As at December 31, 2010, Hanfeng reported cash and cash equivalents of $33.3 million and net working capital of $165.3 million. As at December 31, 2010, Hanfeng had long-term debt of $2.6 million and short term bank loan of $6.2 million. In addition, Hanfeng has undrawn lines of credit in China totaling RMB 630 million (CAD $95.1 million).

Business Highlights

--  Hanfeng entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with
    FBSciences, Inc. ("FBSciences)" to establish a joint venture (the "China
    JV") for the production of high value-added liquid fertilizer products
    under license from FBSciences, or products to be jointly developed by
    FBSciences and Hanfeng, and utilizing FBSciences' CarbonPower® core
    technology. Both parties believe the China JV structure will expedite
    the penetration of various CarbonPower® products into the China
    market. The operations for the proposed China JV will be located at the
    Company's Jiangsu facility and will utilize the building and
    infrastructure associated with the NPK Prill Tower which was permanently
    shut down in the second quarter.

--  Hanfeng became the first chemical fertilizer manufacturer to be awarded
    the National Environmental Friendly Ecological Fertilizer Certificate
    for both its slow and controlled release ("SCR") and value-added
    fertilizers. The award is granted after rigorous product testing and an
    extensive in-plant monitoring process by the Beijing ZhongHua
    Combination Certification Agency ("HQC"), a certification body
    responsible for the oil and chemical industry in China. Hanfeng will
    also assist HQC in establishing guidelines for other chemical fertilizer
    manufacturers.

--  In October 2010, Hanfeng held the grand opening for the 150,000 mtpa
    slow and controlled release fertilizer joint venture facility in
    Surabaya, Indonesia (the "JV facility"). The JV facility is the first to
    be constructed by Hanfeng outside of mainland China and is jointly owned
    by PT. Matahari Kahuripan Indonesia (the "Makin Group"), the largest
    producer of palm oil and tobacco in Indonesia, and PT. Sumber Agrindo
    Sejahtera ("Sejahtera"), Indonesia's largest agricultural distributor.
    At the grand opening, the Company announced that it will add 100,000
    mtpa of bulk blending capacity to the multi-product facility, bringing
    the total design capacity to 250,000 mtpa. The additional blending
    capacity will enable the joint venture to provide a wider range of
    products, including CPU. The Makin Group and Sejahtera have agreed to
    purchase 100 percent of the first year production from the plant.

--  In November 2010, Hanfeng completed a definitive agreement with
    Beidahuang to establish a joint venture facility ("the Manufacturing
    JV"). The 150,000 metric tonnes per annum ("mtpa") slow and controlled
    release fertilizer project will consist of a 100,000 mtpa sulphur coated
    urea plant and a 50,000 mtpa bulk blending plant. The plant construction
    is expected to start in the first quarter of calendar 2011 and be
    completed within twelve months of commencement. The Company's share of
    the committed capital relating to this joint venture is $6.8 million
    (RMB 45 million). During the quarter, Beidahuang also became a
    significant customer for the Company. We expect the overall relationship
    with Beidahuang to continue to strengthen and as such, both parties have
    determined that they do not need to proceed with the previously
    announced joint venture ("the Distribution JV").

Mr. Xinduo Yu, CEO of Hanfeng and Mr. Paul Begin, CFO of Hanfeng, will host a conference call to review the Company's financial and operational performance. Management invites analysts and investors to participate in the conference call.
