        KEY INFORMATION
 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The selected consolidated financial data of the Company as of and for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, or Canadian GAAP. Canadian GAAP differs in certain material respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles, or US GAAP. For a discussion of the differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP as they relate to the Company, see note 21 to the audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 17 of this annual report. The selected consolidated financial data set forth below is presented in Canadian GAAP unless otherwise indicated, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Companys complete consolidated financial statements including the notes to such financial statements contained in Item 17 of this annual report. You should not take historical results as necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CDN$). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the CDN$ against the United States Dollar (US$). At December 31, 2010, US$1.00 was equal to CDN$0.99. 3

      Ginseng plants reach maturity and can be harvested at the end of their third year of growth. Total acreage under cultivation is 140 acres at December 31, 2010 (266 at December 31, 2009, 392 acres at December 31, 2008, 629 acres at December 31, 2007 and 966 acres at December 31, 2006). The Company values these plants at the lower of cost and net realizable value.2.
      Under US GAAP, the interest capitalised into Ginseng Crops would not be eligible for capitalisation. These amounts would be expensed in the period incurred.3.
      Options to purchase 343,400, and 403,300 shares of common stock were outstanding in 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted number of common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.4.
      During 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred write-downs of $2,998,000, $2,735,000 and $5,639,000, respectively, on inventory and crop costs which caused a significant decrease in net earnings (loss) in total and on a per share basis compared to other years. 4

 RISK FACTORS The Company may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements. Written forward-looking statements may appear in this document and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases, in reports to shareholders, on the Companys website, and other documents. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Such estimates, projections or other forward looking estimates involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and could materially affect actual results in the future, and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below. Chai-Na-Ta is subject to a number of business and financial risks including: agricultural risk such as weather and disease, commodity price risk for ginseng bulk root, exchange risk (predominantly United States and Hong Kong dollar related), the lengthy growing cycle for ginseng, interest rate risk, credit risk and the concentration of customers, and future need for financing. Going Concern 5


---

The Company did not plant new crops in 2009 or 2010 and is expecting to cease operations in their current form after completing the harvest in 2011 and the sale of the inventory from that harvest in 2012. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had an operating loss of $53,000 and net earnings of $759,000 and has an accumulated deficit of $31,487,000 as at December 31, 2010 along with positive working capital of $8,751,000 and net cash inflows for the year of $171,000. Management anticipates there will be positive cash inflows from operations for 2011 and 2012. Agricultural Risks The Companys primary business is the cultivation and marketing of North American ginseng. Ginseng farming is subject to agricultural risks such as weather and disease and risks of low yields, poor crop quality, and crop failure. Insurance is available to cover such risks but the relatively high costs have resulted in the Company electing to self-insure. Although the Company believes that its Integrated Crop Management System and diversification of farming operations will help mitigate risks, there can be no assurance that such policies or procedures will be effective in reducing such risks and accordingly, the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows may be materially affected. Product Pricing The marketing of bulk and graded North American ginseng in world markets is subject to pricing risks. The price of North American ginseng may be affected by factors such as the size, shape, color, taste, and quality of the harvest for the Company and the industry at large, as well as other factors in any given year. These are factors that the Company may not be able to control in the short term. North American ginseng root prices remained at low levels in 2009 but there was a significant increase at the end of 2010. Although the Company believes that prices will be stronger in 2011 than in 2010, significant changes in the supply of or demand for North American ginseng may adversely impact the price of ginseng roots and have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Lengthy Growing Cycle for Ginseng As the cycle for growing ginseng takes several years from the time of planting to the time of harvesting, our future profitability is also impacted by our ability to accurately predict demand for our products in future years. Unanticipated decreases in demand or excess supplies in world markets could adversely affect profitability due in part to the limitation in our inability to make adjustments to the size of our crops in reaction to short term swings in supply and demand. Lower than expected yields and quality could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Availability of Suitable Land The Company leases approximately 163 acres and owns 50 acres of farm land in Canada of which 140 acres are currently under ginseng cultivation. Generally, the Company uses farm land only for one ginseng crop as it is generally believed that ginseng depletes the soil of nutrients necessary for a second successful ginseng crop. 6


---

Since the Company does not plan to make any additional plantings, the availability of suitable farm land will no longer have an effect on the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Competition The ginseng industry is quite competitive as the Company competes with numerous other long established ginseng growers. Most of these competitors are managed by private companies or individuals who have smaller acres under cultivation and harvest fewer pounds of ginseng but also have lower overhead costs compared to the Company. A high amount of ginseng harvested by the competition can adversely affect the price that the Company can achieve for its ginseng. Credit Risk and the Concentration of Customers The Company is exposed to credit risk on accounts receivable from customers. In order to manage its credit risk, the Company carefully monitors credit terms, and investigates credit history. Payments or deposits are usually received before shipments of inventory to the customer and credit is typically granted only to customers with established relationships or those customers which have been subject to a credit review and approval by management. When such relationships have not been established or credit reviews have not been acceptable, letters of credit may be used to secure such payment or revenues may not be recognized until collection. The Companys product is typically sold to major ginseng brokers in Hong Kong or Canada and a limited number of smaller direct customers. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had sales of approximately 89% to its top four customers, approximately 78% to its top three customers, and approximately 87% to its top three customers in each year, respectively. The Company believes that a limited number of customers will continue to represent a significant portion of its total revenue. Although the Company does not consider itself economically dependent upon any single customer or combination of customers due to the existence of other potential brokers capable of purchasing the Companys supply, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its current significant customers or secure significant new customers on similar terms and this may have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had sales of approximately 57%, 79% and 87% to customers in the Hong Kong and China geographic region. Although the Company sold a smaller proportion of its inventory to customers in Hong Kong and China in 2010, the Company believes that the majority of its domestic customers will resell the product in Hong Kong and China. The Company expects sales to markets in Hong Kong and China to continue to represent the majority of the Companys sales. Any adverse change in the demand for ginseng in Hong Kong and China may have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Risks Associated with International Operations The Company operates in international markets and conducts business in Canada (bulk root farming operations and certain bulk root sales) and Hong Kong (bulk root sales centre in Asia). There are a number of risks inherent in the Companys international business activities, including changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, costs and risks associated with foreign markets, differing culture and business practices, potentially adverse tax consequences, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, war, insurrection, terrorism and other political risks and factors beyond the Companys control. Exchange risks are also present as currencies may fluctuate at different rates depending on economic, political and other factors. There can be no assurance that adverse changes in the above noted factors will not materially affect the Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. 7


---

Foreign Exchange The Company transacts primarily in US$, CDN$ and Hong Kong dollar (HK$) denominations. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has set up a linked exchange rate system in which the HK$ is limited to a trading range of HK$7.75  HK$7.85 against the US$. The Companys long-term debt is denominated in US$. The Company monitors its exposure to foreign exchange risk and balances its foreign currency holdings to reduce exposure to any one currency by engaging in foreign exchange contracts and by repatriating any excess funds. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly the weakening or strengthening of the US$ against the CDN$ could have a significant impact on our results of operations. Market for Common Shares; Potential Volatility of Stock Price The trading prices of the Common Shares have been subject to wide fluctuations in recent years. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will not significantly fluctuate from its current level. Furthermore, the low average trading volumes for the Companys Common Shares may impact the liquidity of the shares or the ultimate price at which they can be sold. Financing of Current Operations The Company relies on the sale of inventory to fund the maintenance and harvest of ginseng crops that will be harvested in the future. To fund current operations the Company will first try and sell inventory but if the Company cannot reach acceptable selling terms the Company will attempt to fund current operations with additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or available on acceptable terms. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Long-Term Financing The Company has historically used term debt financing to finance capital asset acquisitions and short-term borrowings and operating lines to finance crops and working capital needs. In 2009, the Company extended a term loan facility that had been established in 2006 to finance the general working capital requirements of the Company. Interest rate risk is managed by arranging most term debt financing with fixed rates for the life of the obligations. Directors, Officers and Key Employees The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its officers and key senior management. The loss of the services of these persons will have a materially adverse effect on the Companys business and prospects. The Company has offered retention bonuses to its officers and key senior management in an effort to ensure that they will stay with the Company through the expected final harvest in 2011 and the sale of inventory from that harvest in 2012. There is no assurance the Company can maintain the services of its officers and key senior management or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse affect on the Company. The Company has not purchased any key-man insurance with respect to any of its directors or officers to the date hereof. The loss of any key officer or employee of the Company could have an adverse impact on the Company, its business and its financial position. 8

        INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY The Company and Operations Chai-Na-Ta Corp. (Chai-Na-Ta and the Registrant or the Company) was incorporated on August 12, 1981, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company originally was named Chai-Na-Ta Ginseng Products Limited. During 1994, the name was changed to Chai-Na-Ta Corp. Chai-Na-Ta, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the growing, processing and marketing of North American ginseng. Ginseng, a woodland plant with species native to both China and North America, is prized for its root which has been the most valuable herb in Oriental medicine for over 2,000 years. The vast proportion of North American ginseng is farm grown. The corporate head office is located at: Unit 100 - 12051 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, British Columbia, V7A 4V4, the current contact person is Wilman Wong, C.E.O.; and the telephone number is (604) 272-4118. The head office operations include corporate administration, corporate finance, human resources, sales and marketing, and investor relations. The Company maintains farms in the vicinity of its farm office in Otterville Ontario. The Company listed its common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") in October 1989; the stock symbol was CC. On April 28, 2006, the Company shares were delisted by the Toronto Stock Exchange as the Company had not met the continued listing requirements of the Exchange. The Company listed its common stock on the North American Stock Dealers Automatic Quotation (NASDAQ) Stock Market in October 1992. The Companys stock was delisted from NASDAQ in April 1999 for not meeting the listing requirements. The Company commenced trading on the NASDAQs OTC Bulletin Board in April 1999. The stock symbol is CCCFF. The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Chai-Na-Ta Farms Ltd. (CNT Farms) is headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia and carries out the planting, growing and harvesting of the Companys ginseng crops. CNT Farms also handles the storage of the Companys root inventory and manages the distribution of inventory directly to local customers or to customers in Asia through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNT Trading (Hong Kong) Limited (CNT HK). CNT Farms also carries out crop research through its agricultural staff. The Company also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Unique Formulations Inc. (Unique) which previously operated out of Portland, Oregon as a wholesaler of ginseng and non-ginseng based herbal products to the U.S. market. As part of the Companys efforts to reduce operating costs, the Portland office was closed in November 1999 and the operations were then administered from the head office in British Columbia, Canada. Unique has been inactive since 2003. The Company incorporated CNT HK on October 13, 1999 to carry out direct marketing, sales and distribution functions for North American ginseng in Hong Kong for distribution through Asia. CNT HK sells ginseng roots directly to brokers, distributors and certain customers in the Far East, primarily China, who use the bulk ginseng root for a variety of purposes. The Company incorporated its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNT Nutraceuticals Ltd. (CNTN) on February 3, 2004 to operate a showroom in Richmond, British Columbia and carry out direct marketing and sales of graded roots and ginseng-based value-added products to customers in Canada. The direct marketing and operation of the showroom were scaled down in 2005 due to cash flow restraints. The operations of CNTN is now limited to selling its existing inventory. 9

The Companys principal capital expenditures incurred during 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $86,000, $145,000, and $139,000, respectively, which related to purchases of property, plant and equipment located in Canada. Financing On September 1, 2009 the Company agreed to an extension of an existing HK$51,500,000 loan facility from More Growth Finance Limited (More Growth). The Company has repaid HK$21,125,000 ($2,820,000) and US$878,000 ($892,000) during the year ended December 31, 2010 bringing the balance due down to US$3,000,000 ($2,984,000) at December 31, 2010. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 6.25% per annum. The remaining portion of the loan is due on September 1, 2012; however, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the loan in the first quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a $500,000 revolving demand operating loan with a Canadian chartered bank at a rate of prime plus 3.75% per annum. Based on its positive cash position, the Company could not draw on this facility as of December 31, 2009. The loan availability reduced to zero effective March 31, 2010. As at December 31, 2010, $NIL (2009 - $NIL, 2008 - $1,060,000) had been drawn under the operating loan. On September 4, 2008, the Company secured a $2,000,000 non-revolving term loan from a Canadian chartered bank with an interest rate of prime plus 1.875% per annum which was fully repaid by the due date of May 31, 2009. The loan was secured by the Company's property located near Kamloops, British Columbia. BUSINESS OVERVIEW Ginseng Farming There are two main types of ginseng recognised in the world. Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), is a herb indigenous to the mountainous forests of eastern Asia. North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a woodland plant native to North America. Wild woodland ginseng has been harvested nearly to extinction in both Asia and North America and this has stimulated the demand for farm grown ginseng. Cultivated North American ginseng is grown under artificial shade with a heavy mulch of straw to replicate the conditions found on the forest floor in the hardwood forests of its native habitat. In the late summer and early fall, the ginseng seeds are planted in raised beds, which provide the necessary drainage and solar warming of the soil during the spring. After the straw mulch is applied to conserve moisture and to protect the plants from hard frosts, the shade structure is erected over the plants. The shade cloth is left off the gardens in the spring to allow the soil to warm in the sun. As the plants emerge and the sun gets stronger, the shade cloth is put in place to provide the optimum growing environment for a healthy crop. The shade cloth is removed in the winter months to allow snow cover so that the root remains dormant over the winter. This annual cycle is repeated until the third or fourth year when the root is harvested, typically using mechanical methods. Historically, the Company had chosen to farm in two areas, British Columbia and Ontario. Due to the Companys ongoing problem in British Columbia with rusty roots, an aesthetic problem that decreases the perceived value of the root but does not affect its medicinal properties, the Company made the decision in 2005 to permanently discontinue planting in British Columbia. The company closed its British Columbia operations in 2009 after completing the final harvest in 2008. The sandy tobacco land of southern Ontario allows good drainage, resulting in exceptional growth rates and high quality North American ginseng root. Careful selection of farm sites and scrupulous attention to garden drainage and ventilation substantially reduces the Company's farming risks, while taking advantage of the excellent growing conditions. The Company conducts an extensive battery of tests on each garden to determine water retention characteristics, pH and plant nutrient levels. The Company then adjusts soil fertility and pH to optimum levels for ginseng growth. Once the crop is seeded, the Company's "Integrated Crop Management" program operates seven days a week to monitor nutrients, soil moisture and temperature which are critical to optimum root growth. As the root crop is harvested, the condition and yield of each garden is measured to permit re-evaluation of the production system. 10


---

As at December 31, 2009, the Company has under lease 163 acres and owns 50 acres of farmland of which 140 are under ginseng cultivation in Ontario. The southern region of Ontario has abundant farm land that could be used for ginseng farming and lease costs are relatively low. This availability is important because farm land is usually used for only one ginseng crop, the growing of which is generally believed to deplete the soil of nutrients necessary for a second successful ginseng crop. Due to the low prices for the 2008 harvest in both British Columbia and in Ontario and the 2009 harvest in Ontario, the Company decided not to plant new crops in Ontario in 2009 or 2010. Despite the significant improvement in ginseng prices for the 2010 harvest and the improvement in both the yield and quality of its roots, the Company is planning to cease operations in their current form after completing the harvest in 2011 and the sale of the inventory from that harvest in 2012 Table No. 3

 Medicinal Properties Ginseng is sold in capsule, slice, tablet, tea, powder, extract, whole root form and as additives to various consumer products. The amount of active ingredients (ginsenosides) varies with each product and each brand. Though it is not a rule, extracts generally contain the highest concentration of active ingredients, followed by capsules, powders, tablets, slices, whole roots, and teas. Western medicine does not recognise ginseng's medicinal properties; however scientific study of ginseng began in the early 19th century. The chemical component of ginseng is very complex and varies in different species and from the different processing methods used. Asian and North American ginseng are similar in chemical composition. They both contain ginsenosides, which are recognized as the main active ingredients in ginseng but the amount and quality of the ginsenosides varies between the two species. In addition to the more than 30 ginsenosides identified by scientists around the world, other elements such as fatty acids, amino acids, peptides, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals have been discovered in different parts of the ginseng plant. Many of these non-ginsenoside components are believed to have immunity enhancing and hypoglycaemic activities. 11

While Western medicine remains unconvinced of ginseng's effectiveness, millions of users around the world believe in the plant's therapeutic powers. Ginseng has been regarded as an important health product in many Asian cultures for over 2,000 years. Some of the perceived benefits of North American ginseng include: Reduced stress/relaxant;Regulated blood sugar;Strengthened immune function;Antioxidant (anti-aging);Hypotensive;Enhanced mental activity; andSynergized activity of anti-cancer drugs. Competition The Company produces North American ginseng, which is a distinctly different product from the consumers perspective from Asian ginseng grown in Korea and China. Based on information obtained through discussion with customers, suppliers and review of available farming industry literature, management estimates that the Company currently produces approximately 10% of the total North American ginseng supply produced annually in North America. Competitors currently producing North American ginseng consist primarily of hundreds of small growers (less than one hundred acres) located in southern Ontario, central British Columbia and Wisconsin and one large publicly-traded company. The Company competes through the production of high quality products, lower production costs achieved through economies of scale and an extensive marketing and distribution network serving customers in Hong Kong and China. Marketing and Customers The Companys product is typically sold to major ginseng brokers in Hong Kong and a limited number of smaller customers. The marketing efforts to customers in Hong Kong and the Far East, primarily mainland China, are conducted through the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary CNT HK. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had sales of approximately 57%, 63% and 87%, respectively, to its major customers located in Hong Kong. Although the Company believes that a limited number of customers will continue to represent a significant portion of its total revenue, the Company does not consider itself economically dependent upon any single customer or combination of customers due to the existence of other potential brokers capable of purchasing the Companys supply. Transfer prices between all the companies in the group are determined based on estimated world market prices at the transaction dates. Market prices are established with reference to various ginseng brokers in Hong Kong and comparable sales to third parties. 12


---

Manufacturing/Processing Canadian farming and processing operations, conducted through the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, CNT Farms., consist of farming, including cultivation, harvesting, washing and drying the root prior to export or sale to the local market. Substantially, all of the Companys sales during 2010, 2009 and 2008 involved the sale of bulk root. The industry as a whole has a limited supply of seed for new plantings. The supply of seeds comes from those picked each year from mature plants under cultivation. The seeds are living embryos that must be planted in the following year. Normal industry practice is to store the seed for only one year so its limited shelf life can cause some barriers for future planting. Manufacturing and processing of value-added products in North America is contracted out to third party manufacturers through the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary CNTN in Canada. Activities in recent years have consisted of a limited amount of sales of herbal health products to distributors in Canada Canada and Foreign Sales/Assets During 2010, the Company earned $3.8 million in sales in Canada, and $5.1 million in sales in Hong Kong and China. During 2009, the Company earned $1.5 million in sales in Canada, and $5.4 million in sales in Hong Kong and China. During 2008, the Company earned $1.2 million in sales in Canada, and $8.0 million in sales in Hong Kong and China. As at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 100% of the Companys long lived assets were in Canada. Staffing As at December 31, 2010, the Company employed 9 salaried full-time people in its operations world-wide. The Company may hire up to 39 persons for seasonal work in the ginseng farms and for production work in its processing facilities. Seasonality The Companys business is highly seasonal, with harvesting and planting activities typically occur during the last two quarters of each year. Historically, fall harvests were sold primarily during the first two quarters of the subsequent year leading to significant seasonal variations in the volume of sales, inventory and crop costs. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE As at December 31, 2005, Road King, through its subsidiary Herb King International Limited, held about 77% of the Companys issued and outstanding common shares and 100% of the Companys issued and outstanding preferred shares. On September 1, 2006, Herb King exercised its right to convert 10,399,149 preferred shares of the Company into an equivalent number of common shares, thereby raising its holdings of the Companys common shares to 84%. On December 7, 2006, Road King distributed its entire holding of the common shares of the Company to its shareholders by way of a special interim dividend. As a result of the distribution, Wai Kee Holdings Limited (Wai Kee) became the largest single shareholder of the Company and holds about 46% of the Companys issued and outstanding common shares as at December 31, 2010, up from the 38% held as at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Wai Kee is a Hong Kong based publicly traded company, with its core business in investment holdings. 13

        OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
 Forward-looking statements The Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, certain statements found under this section, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this report, and the uncertainties set forth from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the other public statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, seasonality, interest in the Companys products, general economic conditions, consumer trends, competition, the effect of governmental regulation, prices, yields, availability of new working capital, quality of the Companys harvest, and successful implementation of new products. This section should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements included as Item 17 of this report. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP), which in the case of these financial statements, conform in all material respects with those in the United States (US GAAP), except as disclosed in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements. OPERATING RESULTS Fiscal year ended 12/31/2010 compared with year ended 12/31/2009 Revenue increased 29% to $8,951,000 in 2010 from $6,941,000 in 2009. The Companys average selling price increased to $10.25 per pound compared to $8.50 per pound in 2009 and the Companys volume of sales increased by 8% in 2010 to 858,000 pounds compared to 798,000 pounds in 2009. The 2010 sales included 510,000 pounds of root harvested in 2009 and 2010 and 348,000 pounds of root harvested in 2008 and earlier periods. The 2009 and 2010 harvested root achieved an average selling price of $13.00 per pound while the 2008 and early harvested root achieved lower selling prices. Since the selling price on 2008 and earlier harvests was lower than 2009 and 2010 harvest, this resulted in a lower average selling price than the Company would have achieved in 2010. The increase in volume was primarily due to customers not taking delivery of the 348,000 pounds of inventory from 2008 and earlier harvests until 2010. The Company expects that the volume of sales will be significantly lower in 2011 as all of the inventory from 2009 and earlier harvests has been sold and all that remains is 480,000 pounds of inventory harvested in 2010. However, the Company expects that total revenue will approximate the current years amount as there will be a significant increase in the average selling price due to an increase in quality of the Companys product and an overall increase in market demand. Cost of goods sold was 86% of sales revenue in 2010 compared to 95% of sales revenue in 2009; therefore gross margin was 14% of revenue in 2010 compared to 5% in 2009. In 2010, the gross margin was primarily due to the increased average selling price on inventory sold from the 2010 harvest. In 2009, the gross margin was primarily due to the fulfillment of a contract made with a Canadian customer for the supply of ginseng prongs and fibres. The Company harvested 545,000 pounds of root in 2010, an increase of 22% from 446,000 pounds in 2009. In 2010, the Company harvested 125 acres for a yield of 4,345 pounds per acre, while in 2009 the Company harvested 127 acres for a yield of 3,513 pounds per acre. The increase in yield is a result of enhanced crop management techniques and because virtually all of the crops harvested in 2010 harvest were five years old. 15


---

The Company recorded a write-down on the ginseng crops that will be harvested in 2011 of $170,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to frost damage which reduced the expected yield and thus reduced their net realizable value. The net realizable value of the ginseng crops was estimated based on the estimated yield and quality of the crops upon harvest, accumulated costs, estimated additional costs required to bring the crops to harvest and current and projected selling prices. The Company recorded a write-down on its long-term ginseng crops of $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce their carrying value to their net realizable value. In 2009, the Company also reversed the $500,000 write-down recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008 on its ginseng crops harvested in 2009 as the net realizable value of those crops increased primarily due to an increase in the selling price of ginseng at the end of 2009 compared to 2008. The Company also recorded a write-down of $64,000 on ginseng fibres from prior harvests resulting in a new carrying value of zero as the ability of the Company to sell these specific ginseng fibres is uncertain. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $957,000 in 2010 compared to $1,458,000 in 2009. For 2010, this amount included $151,000 in retention bonuses for management and staff of which $4,000 was paid and $147,000 was accrued as at December 31, 2010. For 2009, the selling, general and administrative expenses included $530,000 in costs related to the wind-up of the farming operations in British Columbia. Therefore, taking into account these non-recurring items, the Company reduced its other selling, general and administrative expenses by 13% to $806,000 in 2010 from $928,000 in 2009. The Company expects that its total selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in 2011 due to the accrual of retention bonuses. The interest on short-term debt was zero in 2010 as all short-term borrowings were repaid in 2009 and no new facilities were required subsequent to 2009. Interest on long-term debt increased to $383,000 in 2010 compared to $283,000 in 2009. The increase in interest on long-term debt is primarily due to its debt facilities converting to a fixed interest rate on March 1, 2010 compared to a variable interest rate, which was at historically low levels, throughout 2009. Since the Company has repaid the remaining amount of the loan in early 2011, interest on long-term debt in 2011 is expected to be minimal. The Company had other non-operating income of $812,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 which included $69,000 in foreign exchanges gains, $591,000 in gains on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $138,000 in government supplement payments net of participating fees and miscellaneous non-operating income of $14,000. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had other non-operating income of $2,079,000 which included $470,000 in foreign exchange gains, $611,000 in gains on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $995,000 in government supplement payments net of participating fees and miscellaneous non-operating income of $3,000. Government supplement payments were from the Canadian federal government and were received as part of a program to aid agriculture businesses for losses of their margin relative to historic prices. The payment received for the year ended December 31, 2009 was from the 2007 program year and the payment received for the year ended December 31, 2010 was also from the 2007 program year as the Company filed an adjustment to its initial submission. The Company does not expect a similar payment to be received for the 2008 and 2009 program years and considers these payments non-recurring. In 2010, the Company achieved net earnings of $759,000, or $0.02 basic and diluted earnings per share compared to the 2009 net earnings of $669,000, or $0.02 basic and diluted loss per share. In order to conform Canadian GAAP to US GAAP, the net earnings would be increased by $502,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflecting the differences in the accounting for interest, financial instruments and write-downs of inventory. As a result of these adjustments, the net earnings under US GAAP would have been $1,261,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The net earnings would be decreased by $497,000 under US GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2009 and as a result of these adjustments, the net earnings under US GAAP would have been $172,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. 16

Fiscal year ended 12/31/2009 compared with year ended 12/31/2008 Revenue decreased 25% to $6,941,000 in 2009 from $9,232,000 in 2008. The Companys average selling price decreased to $8.50 per pound compared to $9.50 per pound in 2008. The Company also saw a decrease of 17% in the volume of sales in 2009 compared to 2008, but this was primarily due to customers not taking delivery of all the inventory they had contracted to purchase from the 2008 harvest. Ginseng prices remained at historic low levels in 2009 but there was a modest recovery of ginseng prices at the end of 2009. Cost of goods sold was 95% of sales revenue in 2009 compared to 129% in 2008. In 2009, the gross margin was primarily due to the fulfilment of a contract made with a Canadian customer for the supply of ginseng prongs and fibres. The remaining ginseng root sales in both years were made after the inventory had been written down to its net realizable value in the previous year resulting in a minimal margin on inventory sales. The impairment in the value of inventory and ginseng crops to their estimated net realizable value are accounted for as a part of cost of goods sold which caused cost of goods sold to be in excess of revenue in 2008. The Company harvested 446,000 pounds of root in 2009, a decrease of 55% from 988,000 pounds in 2008 when the Company harvested roots from both Ontario and British Columbia. The Company harvested 340,000 pounds in Ontario in 2008 so there was a 31% increase in total yield in Ontario in 2009. In 2009, the Company harvested 127 acres in Ontario resulting in an average yield of 3,513 pounds per acre. In 2008, the Company harvested a total of 350 acres in British Columbia and Ontario, with an average yield of 2,824 pounds per acre including 126 acres in Ontario with an average yield of 2,700 pounds per acre. The higher average yield in 2009 was mainly due to the harvest of 70 acres of five-year-old roots. The Companys production cost decreased to $10 per pound in 2009 compared to $12 per pound in 2008 also due to the higher yields per acre. The Company recorded a write-down on its long-term ginseng crops of $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce their carrying value to their net realizable value. The net realizable value of the ginseng crops was estimated based on the estimated yield and quality of the crops upon harvest, accumulated costs, estimated additional costs required to bring the crops to harvest and current and projected selling prices. In 2009, the Company also reversed the $500,000 write-down recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008 on its ginseng crops harvested in 2009 as the net realizable value of those crops increased primarily due to an increase in the selling price of ginseng at the end of 2009 compared to 2008. The Company also recorded a write-down of $64,000 on ginseng fibres from prior harvests resulting in a new carrying value of zero as the ability of the Company to sell these specific ginseng fibres is uncertain. The Company recorded a write-down on its 2008 harvest inventory of $2,498,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to reduce their carrying value to their net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory was estimated based on purchase commitments received for inventory on hand. Because of the historic low prices in 2008, a $500,000 write-down was recorded on the expected 2009 harvest which was subsequently reversed in 2009. Gross margin was 5% of sales revenue in 2009 compared to a gross loss of 29% in 2008 due to the ginseng root sales in both years being made after the inventory had been written down to its net realizable value in the previous year and due to the write-downs on inventory and ginseng crops. 17

Selling, general and administrative expenses totalled $1,458,000 in 2009 including $530,000 in costs related to the wind-up of the farming operations in British Columbia. The remaining $928,000 in expenses was a 4% decrease from the $969,000 in expenses incurred during 2008. Interest on short-term debt decreased to $37,000 in 2009 compared to $144,000 in 2008. The decrease in interest on short-term debt is primarily due to decreases in the short-term borrowings throughout 2009 compared to 2008. Interest on long-term debt decreased to $283,000 in 2009 from $426,000 in 2008. The decrease in interest on long-term debt is primarily due to decreases in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) and London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) throughout 2009. The Company had other non-operating income of $2,079,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 which included $470,000 in foreign exchanges gains, $611,000 in gains on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $995,000 in government supplement payments net of participating fees and miscellaneous non-operating income of $3,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had other non-operating losses of $446,000 which included $769,000 in foreign exchanges losses, $256,000 in gains on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $64,000 in government supplement payments net of participating fees and miscellaneous non-operating income of $3,000. Government supplement payments were from the Canadian federal government and were received as part of a program to aid agriculture businesses for losses of their margin relative to historic prices. The payment received for the year ended December 31, 2009 was from the 2007 program year. The Company does not expect a similar payment to be received for the 2008 and 2009 program years and considers these payments non-recurring. In 2009, the Company incurred net earnings of $669,000, or $0.02 basic and diluted earnings per share compared to the 2008 net loss of $4,670,000, or $0.13 basic and diluted loss per share. The net earnings in 2009 were mainly due to gains on the disposal of assets of $611,000, foreign exchange gains of $470,000 and government supplements of $995,000. Reconciling from Canadian GAAP to US GAAP, the net earnings would be decreased by $497,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 reflecting the differences in the accounting for interest, financial instruments and write-downs of inventory. As a result of these adjustments, the net earnings under US GAAP would have been $172,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The net loss would be decreased by $4,000 under US GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2008 and as a result of these adjustments, the net loss under US GAAP would have been $4,666,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Fiscal year ended 12/31/2010 compared with year ended 12/31/2009 In 2010, the cash provided by operations was $3,325,000 compared to $3,647,000 in 2009. The Companys cash as at December 31, 2010 was $2,659,000 compared to a balance of $2,488,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $171,000. The slight increase in cash in 2010 was due to the $645,000 in proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had received $1,479,000 in deposits from customers. These deposits are on orders that should be fulfilled in the first half of 2011. 18

The working capital position of the Company at December 31, 2010 was a surplus of $8,751,000 compared to a surplus of $8,948,000 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $197,000. This decrease in working capital is due to the repayment of long-term debt of $3,712,000 in 2010. On September 1, 2009 the Company agreed to an extension of an existing HK$51,500,000 loan facility from More Growth Finance Limited (More Growth). The Company has repaid HK$21,125,000 ($2,820,000) and US$878,000 ($892,000) during the year ended December 31, 2010 bringing the balance due down to US$3,000,000 ($2,984,000) at December 31, 2010. The Company incurred $383,000 (2009 - $283,000) of interest which has been included in interest on long-term debt on the statement of operations and deficit. The remaining portion of the loan is due on September 1, 2012; however, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the loan. Capital expenditures of $86,000 during 2010 were for the purchase of equipment for the Ontario farming operations. During the year, the Company sold excess sunshade and equipment in Ontario and received proceeds from their disposition of $645,000. The Company believes that its existing cash resources, together with the cash generated from future sales of inventory and the current borrowings, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and operating requirements for the next twelve months. As at December 31, 2010, the Company had the contractual obligations and commercial commitments outlined in the chart below: Table No. 5

The following commitments are not included in the Contractual Obligations table above: The Company is committed to maintaining its ginseng crops from the time of initial planting to the time of harvesting, which usually takes three to four years. The Company expects that it will harvest all its remaining ginseng crops in 2011. The cost of maintaining these crops is financed through the sale of inventory and available bank borrowings. This commitment is not included in the Contractual Obligations table. The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 5(e) of Form 20-F. The Company has no significant purchase obligations as at December 31, 2010. Fiscal year ended 12/31/2009 compared with year ended 12/31/2008 In 2009, the cash surplus from operations was $3,647,000 compared to $303,000 in 2008. The Companys cash as at December 31, 2009 was $2,488,000 compared to a balance of $192,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $2,296,000. The increase in cash from operations in 2009 was due to the decrease in crop cost expenditures as the Company only had 392 acres of ginseng crops under cultivation in 2009 compared to 742 acres under cultivation in 2008 including 224 acres in British Columbia. The working capital position of the Company at December 31, 2009 was a surplus of $8,948,000 compared to a surplus of $5,456,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the reduction in expenditures on ginseng crops and the proceeds from the disposition of property, plant, and equipment in British Columbia that had been reclassified as assets held for sale in 2008. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a $500,000 revolving demand operating loan, with an interest rate of prime plus 3.75% per annum, with a Canadian chartered bank. Based on its positive cash position, the Company could not draw on this facility as of December 31, 2009. The loan availability reduced to zero effective March 31, 2010. The Company also fully repaid a $2,000,000 term loan, with an interest rate of prime plus 1.875% per annum, with the same Canadian chartered bank during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company incurred interest of $37,000 (2008 - $144,000) on these loans for the year which has been included in interest on short-term debt on the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had received $3,301,000 in deposits from customers. These deposits are primarily on orders that were fulfilled in 2010. On August 18, 2006, the Company established a four year term loan facility of HK$54,700,000 from a company formerly under common control of which HK$3,200,000 was repaid on August 31, 2009. As of September 1, 2009 the Company negotiated an extension of the remaining HK$51,500,000 loan facility. Under the terms of the extension, the Company will be required to repay HK$3,300,000 ($446,000) by August 31, 2010, and HK$16,700,000 ($2,254,000) by August 31, 2011. The remaining amount ($4,245,000) is to be repaid by August 31, 2012 in apportionments of HK$1,250,000 and US$3,878,000. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 1.75% per annum over the HIBOR or LIBOR through February 28, 2010 after which it will bear interest at a flat rate of 6.25% for the duration of the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred $283,000 (2008 - $425,000, 2007 - $626,000) of interest which has been included in interest on long-term debt on the statement of operations and deficit. Capital expenditures of $145,000 during 2009 were mainly for the purchase of dryers, equipment and a vehicle in Ontario. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company sold its land, buildings and all remaining production assets located near Kamloops, British Columbia. This, along with the sale of the other assets of the British Columbia operations sold earlier in the year, resulted in $2,379,000 in proceeds from the disposition of assets held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2009. 20

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES The significant accounting policies are outlined within Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Some of those accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported by the Company. The following items require the most significant judgement and involve complex estimation. Inventory The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of inventory to determine if write-downs are required to state the inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value reflects managements best estimate of the expected selling price of the roots as well as consideration of qualitative factors such as size, shape, colour and taste. During the harvest period each autumn, the Company grades its inventory based on these qualitative factors and receives bids from its various customers for each inventory lot. For inventory that is contracted to a customer, the agreed selling price is used to determine net realizable value. For any inventory not yet contracted, the Company estimates its net realizable value primarily based on the most recent unaccepted bids from customers. The carrying value of inventory also reflects managements expectation that the inventory will eventually be sold. Although management does not believe that additional provisions are required to align the carrying value of certain inventory with its net realizable values, future events may indicate that the inventory is not saleable or that such inventory is not saleable at prices above carrying value. Ginseng crops The Company uses the full absorption costing method to value its ginseng crops and periodically reviews their carrying value for evidence of impairment. Included in the cost of crops are seed, labour, applicable overhead, interest and supplies required to bring them to harvest. The determination of impairment requires complex calculations and significant management estimation with respect to future costs to bring crops to harvest and expectations as to the yield and quality of ginseng roots harvested. The estimation process is further complicated by the relatively long growing cycle of three to four years and the fact that roots remain underground. The market price of harvested ginseng roots is also difficult to determine due to industry-wide factors such as the variable worldwide supply each harvest season and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and due to specific qualitative factors to each grower such as the size, shape, color, taste, and quality of the roots harvest. There is no set price for harvested ginseng roots, the yield from each garden will vary and the perceived market value will vary along with it. Although the Companys assumptions reflect managements best estimates, future events may result in materially different outcomes with respect to the recoverability of ginseng crop costs and the time required bringing the crops to harvest. Income Taxes The Company estimates its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions that it operates. The process involves estimating the current income tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in future tax assets and liabilities that are included in the consolidated balance sheet to the extent that a net future income tax asset or liability exists. The valuation of any future income tax assets or liabilities is reviewed quarterly and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount. The process of determining if a valuation allowance is necessary includes estimates of the recoverability of inventory and ginseng crops as detailed above and an estimate of future interest expense. Future events may result in a materially different outcomes than is estimated with respect to the recoverability of both inventory and ginseng crops. 21

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Pronouncements from the United States In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements," which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. This ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosure requirements about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Further, this ASU amends guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715 to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. This standard is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the required provisions of this standard during the first quarter of 2010. Future change in accounting policies In April 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that on January 1, 2011 Canadian GAAP will be replaced by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for publicly accountable enterprises. Management initiated its IFRS changeover plan in 2009 but has now suspended its changeover to IFRS and intends to convert to US GAAP instead of IFRS on January 1, 2011. Management believes that the conversion to US GAAP will be much less onerous and costly as the Company already reconciles to US GAAP annually as part of its filings with the United States Securities Exchange Commission.

All of the authorized shares of the Company's common stock are of the same class and, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in assets. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, at its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the assets of the Company, if any, remaining after payments of all debts and liabilities, including settlement of the preferred shares. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds. Provisions as to the modification, amendment of variation of such shareholder rights or provisions are contained in the Canada Business Corporation Act. Unless the Canada Business Corporation Act, or the Company's By-Laws otherwise provide, any action to be taken by a resolution of the members may be taken by an ordinary resolution or by a vote of a majority or more of the shares represented at the shareholders' meeting.

Rights to Own Securities There are no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights. Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations under the applicable laws of Canada or by our charter or other constituent documents of our Company on the right of foreigners to hold or vote Common Shares of other securities of our Company. The Investment Canada Actwill prohibit implementation, or if necessary, require divestiture of an investment deemed reviewable under the Investment Canada Actby an investor that is not a Canadian as defined in the Investment Canada Act(a non-Canadian), unless after review the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act (the Minister) is satisfied that the reviewable investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in our Common Shares by a non-Canadian would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Actif it was an investment to acquire control of our Company and the value of our assets was $5 million or more. A non-Canadian would be deemed to acquire control of our company for the purposes of the Investment Canada Actif the non-Canadian acquired a majority of our outstanding Common Shares (or less than a majority but controlled our company in fact through the ownership of one-third or more of our outstanding common shares) unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, our Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of such Common Shares. Certain transactions in relation to our Common Shares would be exempt from review under the Investment Canada Act, including, among other, the following: 33


---

1.
      Acquisition of Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities;2.
      Acquisition of control of our Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and3.
      Acquisition of control of our Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control of our company, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged. The Investment Canada Actwas amended with the World Trade Organization Agreementto provide for special review thresholds for WTO Investors of countries belonging to the World Trade Organization, among others, nationals and permanent residents (including WTO Investor controlled entities as defined in the Investment Canada Act). Under the Investment Canada Act, as amended, an investment in our Common Shares by WTO Investors would be reviewable only if it was an investment to acquire control of our Company and the value of our assets was equal to or greater than a specified amount (the Review Threshold), which is published by the Minister after its determination for any particular year. Change in Control There are no provisions in our Articles that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company. MATERIAL CONTRACTS There is no material contract entered into for the two years immediately preceding publication of this document. EXCHANGE CONTROL There are no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividend, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents and to other non-residents are, however subject to withholding tax. See Taxation below. TAXATION The following is a fair summary of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable in respect of the common stock. The tax consequences to any particular holder of common stock will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation or member of a partnership, the jurisdiction in which that holder is subject to taxation, the place where that holder is resident and, generally, according to that holder's particular circumstances. This summary is applicable only to holders who are resident in the United States, have never been resident in Canada, deal at arm's length with the Company, hold their common stock as capital property and who will not use or hold the common stock in carrying on business in Canada. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Income Tax Act of Canada and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act") as at the date of the Annual Report, publicly-announced proposals to amend the Tax Act as at the date of this Annual Report and the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency . This summary does not take into account provincial income tax consequences. The summary assumes that the publicly announced proposals will be enacted as proposed with the effective dates set out therein; otherwise, the summary assumes that there will be no other changes in law whether by judicial or legislative action. 34


---

This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible income tax consequences. It is not intended as legal or tax advice to any particular holder of common stock and should not be so construed. Each holder is encouraged to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the income tax consequences applicable to him in his own particular circumstances. Disposition of Common Stock.Under the Tax Act, a gain from the sale of common stock by a non-resident will not be subject to Canadian tax, provided the shareholder (and/or persons who do not deal at arm's length with the shareholder) have not held 25% or more of the shares of any class of the Company's stock at any time in the five years preceding the disposition. Generally, the Canada-United States Tax Convention (the "Tax Convention") will exempt from Canadian taxation any capital gain realized by a resident of the United States unless: their value is derived principally from real property in Canada;the holder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition and the common stocks were owned by him when he ceased to be a resident in Canada; orthey form part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition. Dividend.In the case of any dividends paid to non-residents, the Canadian tax is withheld by the Company, which remits only the net amount to the shareholder. By virtue of Article X of the Tax Convention, the rate of tax on dividends paid to residents of the United States is generally limited to 15% of the gross dividend (or 5% in the case of certain corporate shareholders owning at least 10% of the Company's voting shares). In the absence of the treaty provisions, the rate of Canadian withholding tax imposed on non-residents is 25% of the gross dividend. Stock dividends received by non-residents from the Company are taxable by Canada as ordinary dividends at the amount by which the paid up capital of the Company is increased for the shares issued as dividends. The Tax Convention generally exempts from Canadian withholding tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization exclusively administering a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is resident in the United States and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.

ITEM 11
        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 The Companys revenue is derived principally from the sale of ginseng roots to a limited number of customers that are concentrated in Asian markets. In order to manage its credit risk, the Company carefully monitors credit terms, investigates credit history and grants credit to customers with established relationships or an acceptable credit rating. Payments or deposits are usually received before shipments of inventory. Letters of credit may be used, or inventory may be held as security until payment is received, when such relationships have not been established. The Company identifies Canada as the primary economic environment in which it operates and uses the CDN$ as its functional currency. A minor portion of the Companys revenues are denominated in Hong Kong dollars as well as a loan which is denominated in Hong Kong dollars. 35


---

The Company monitors its exposure to foreign exchange risk and balances its foreign currency holdings to reduce exposures to any one currency by repatriating any excess funds. The Company may also from time to time utilize foreign exchange contracts to hedge against exchange risks. The Company has a US$ net liability exposure of US$554,000 ($551,000) as at December 31, 2010. Based on this net exposure an increase in the spot CDN$/US$ exchange rate of $0.10 would result in a foreign exchange loss of $55,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding foreign exchange gain. The Company also has foreign exchange exposure related to the foreign exchange adjustment of the deficit of self-sustaining foreign operations which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result, an increase in the spot CDN$/US$ exchange rate of $0.10 would result in other comprehensive income of $195,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding other comprehensive loss. Cumulatively, an increase in the spot CDN$/US$ exchange rate of $0.10 would result in an increase to comprehensive income of $140,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding decrease to comprehensive income. The Companys revenues and earnings are also impacted by the world price of ginseng root which is determined by reference to a number of factors including the supply and demand for North American ginseng root, negotiations between buyer and seller, the quality and aesthetic characteristics of the root and the relative strength of the CDN$ to the currency used by the Companys customers. A percentage change in the market price of ginseng root will tend to have a corresponding impact on the revenues reported by the Company. An increase in the selling price by $1 per pound will increase the Companys net earnings by approximately $545,000 (based on the 2010 harvest of 545,000 pounds) and a decrease in the selling price by $1 per pound would have an equally negative impact on net earnings. The interest income from cash and cash equivalents and the interest expense from borrowings under credit facilities are subject to interest rate changes and therefore interest income and interest expense will fluctuate directly with changes in interest rates and the amount of cash and cash equivalents and borrowing outstanding at any given time. The Companys long-term debt reverted to a fixed interest rate effective February 28, 2010 and therefore, the Company is not exposed to any material risk in interest rate changes. ITEM 12

ITEM 15
        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 Management notes that, while they believe the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, being the year ended December 31, 2010. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)). This internal control system was designated to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the criteria in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 is effective. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report. There are no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to material affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

 Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants To the Shareholders of Chai-Na-Ta Corp. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chai-Na-Ta Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, comprehensive income, accumulated other comprehensive income, cash flows and crop costs for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and notes to the consolidated financial statements Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chai-Na-Ta Corp. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Other Matters On March 29, 2011, we reported separately to the shareholders of Chai-Na-Ta Corp. on our audits, conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, on financial statements for the same period, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, but which excludes a footnote providing a reconciliation of accounting principles generally accepted in Canada to those of the United States of America as it relates to Chai-Na-Ta Corp. and includes a footnote with a supplemental discussion of differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP.

CHAI-NA-TA CORP.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Stated in Canadian Dollars except tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars)For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
  1.
     NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 The Company operates North American ginseng farms in Ontario, Canada, on which ginseng root is planted, cultivated and harvested. The Company sells ginseng in its primary markets of Hong Kong and China, and to a lesser extent Canada and the United States of America, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company also sells ginseng-based value-added products in Canada although they do not represent a significant percentage of sales. The Company is publicly traded with no single shareholder holding a majority of the Companys common shares. The largest shareholder of the Company is Wai Kee Holdings Limited (Wai Kee), a publicly traded Hong Kong based company, which owns 46% (2009, 2008 - 38%) of the shares of the Company. 2.
     GOING CONCERN
 The Company did not plant new crops in 2009 or 2010 and is expecting to cease operations in their current form after completing the harvest in 2011 and the sale of the inventory from that harvest in 2012. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had an operating loss of $53,000 and net earnings of $759,000 and has an accumulated deficit of $31,487,000 as at December 31, 2010 along with positive working capital of $8,751,000 and net cash inflows for the year of $171,000. Management anticipates there will be positive cash inflows from operations for 2011 and 2012. 3.
     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 These consolidated financial statements, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). Management will convert to United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) effective January 1, 2011. The accounting standards that will materially affect the Companys reported financial position and results of operations along with a reconciliation of Canadian GAAP to US GAAP are disclosed in Note 20. These consolidated financial statements reflect the following significant Canadian GAAP accounting policies:

CHAI-NA-TA CORP.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Stated in Canadian Dollars except tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars)For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
  (a)
     Basis of presentation
 These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. At December 31, 2010, the Company's effective ownership interests in these companies were as follows: SubsidiariesChai-Na-Ta Farms Ltd.
     100%Chai-Na-Ta International Ltd. (Inactive)
     100%Chai-Na-Ta (Asia) Ltd. (Inactive)
     100%CNT Nominees Limited (Inactive)
     100%CNT Nutraceuticals Ltd.
     100%CNT Trading (Asia) Limited (Inactive)
     100%CNT Trading (Hong Kong) Limited
     100%Unique Formulations, Inc. (Inactive)
     100%
 The Companys foreign subsidiaries are considered to be self-sustaining foreign operations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive income until there is a reduction in the net investment. (b)
     Revenue recognition
 Sales of goods are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, title and risk have passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The above conditions are generally satisfied when the goods are delivered to the end customers or to the wholesale distributor. In instances when the above criteria are not satisfied, revenue is deferred until all conditions required for recognition of revenue are met. (c)
     Financial instruments
 The Company has designated its cash, bank indebtedness and foreign exchange forward contracts as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair market value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivable which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt are classified as other liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company is required to classify and disclose the fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy shall have the following levels:


---

CHAI-NA-TA CORP.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements(Stated in Canadian Dollars except tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars)For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
 Level 1  valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2  valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3  valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. The required disclosures are included in Note 18. (d)
     Cash
 Cash consists of cash on hand and deposits in banks. (e)
     Inventory
 Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value reflects managements best estimate of the expected selling price of the roots as well as consideration of qualitative factors such as size, shape, colour and taste. The carrying value of inventory also reflects managements expectation that the inventory will eventually be sold. Inventory written down to its estimated net realizable value can subsequently be written up to the lesser of its new estimated net realizable value or original cost. (f)
     Ginseng crops
 The Company uses the full absorption costing method to value its ginseng crops. Included in crop costs are seeds, labour, applicable overhead, interest and supplies as per the consolidated statement of crop costs. Common costs are allocated in each period based on the total number of acres under cultivation during the period. The carrying value of ginseng crops is reviewed on a regular basis for any impairment in value, using managements best estimate as to expected future market values, yields and costs to harvest. Ginseng crops which include an impairment in value can subsequently have that impairment reversed upon a change in the factors used in managements estimate of value. Crop costs related to the acreage harvested and sold have been charged to cost of sales.

  (g)
     Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
 Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following periods except as noted below: Buildings
     20 yearsDryers and related works
     20 yearsComputer equipment and software
     4 yearsFurniture and fixtures
     10 yearsMachinery and equipment
     10 yearsSunshade
     10 yearsVehicles
     8 yearsPavement
     12.5 years
 Property, plant and equipment are reviewed on a regular basis for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances which indicate that the net book value of the assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use. To the extent not recoverable, impaired assets are written down to their fair value. All property, plant and equipment are classified as assets held for use as at December 31, 2010. (h)
     Income taxes
 The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, future income taxes are recorded for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities, and for losses and other deductions carried forward. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which such temporary differences or losses and other deductions carried forward are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that the recoverability of future income tax assets is not considered likely. (i)
     Earnings (loss) per common share
 Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of common shares by including other common share equivalents in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Common share equivalents consist of convertible preferred shares and the incremental number of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of net loss per common share and the weighted average shares used in the earnings per share calculations for 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

 The Company had no stock options outstanding as at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. (j)
     Stockbased compensation plans
 The Company has established a policy for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services. The policy requires that all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method. (k)
     Foreign exchange forward contracts
 The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk associated with future debt repayments denominated in foreign currencies. Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contracts are recorded as other income unless they meet specified criteria to qualify as a hedging instrument under Canadian GAAP. The Company has not had any contracts that meet the criteria for hedging instruments during the three years ended December 31, 2010. (l)
     Use of estimates
 The presentation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other disclosures as at the end of or during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, net realizable value of inventory, crop costs, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on future income taxes, accrued liabilities and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

     GINSENG CROPS
 Ginseng plants reach maturity and can be harvested at the end of their third year of growth. However, the Company may allow crops to mature longer to allow for higher yields and additional seed harvests. Costs accumulated relating to the expected harvest in the next year are classified as current assets. At December 31, 2010, total area under cultivation and management is 140 acres. A breakdown of acreage by year planted is as follows: Year planted

 For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a write-down on the ginseng crops that are expected to be part of the 2011 harvest. This write-down was recorded due to frost at one of the Companys farm locations which harmed the ginseng crops and reduced the expected yield from that location which in turn reduced the net realizable value of those ginseng crops. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a reversal of the $500,000 write-down on its ginseng crops that were harvested during the last quarter of 2009. The net realizable value of the ginseng crops harvested in 2009 was higher than had been estimated at December 31, 2008 and therefore the Company reversed the entire write-down that had been recorded. The net realizable value as at December 31, 2009 was determined through sales contracts with buyers that had been agreed to during the final quarter of 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a write-down of $450,000 on its long-term ginseng crops which it intends to harvest at the end of 2011. The net realizable value of the long-term ginseng crops was estimated based on current sales prices and estimated future yields, quality and costs to bring the crops to harvest. The Company also recorded a write-off of $64,000 on ginseng fibres from prior harvests as the ability of the Company to sell these specific ginseng fibres was uncertain. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a write-down of inventory of $2,498,000 on its ginseng crops harvested in 2008 to reduce the carrying value of the inventory to its estimated net realizable value. This amount includes a $1,500,000 write-down in the third quarter of 2008 and an additional $998,000 write-down that was recognized upon the completion of the 2008 harvest. The Company also recorded a write-down of $500,000 on its current ginseng crops which it intended to harvest at the end of 2009. The net realizable value of the inventory was estimated based on purchase commitments received for inventory on hand.

 During 2010, the Company agreed to pay retention bonuses totaling $485,000 to corporate and farm management and staff to ensure the stability of the operation through the expected final harvest in 2011 and the sale of the Companys assets in 2012. These retention bonuses are contingent on the satisfactory completion of the job duties of each employee up to their termination date. During 2010, $151,000 of expenses was incurred with $4,000 being paid and $147,000 accrued and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The remaining balance will be recorded over the remaining service period for the employees and will be adjusted for changes in employees on a prospective basis. For 2009, the wind-up expenses of terminated operations include all expenditures associated with closing the ginseng farm operations in British Columbia after the final harvest was completed in 2008. 12.

Government supplements include funds received from Agriculture Canada as compensation for cost of production increases and reduced margins of the Company's farming operations in prior years, net of program participation fees and related costs. The substantial amount received in 2009 was from the 2007 program year and the additional amount received in 2010 was due to an amendment filed for that same program year. The Company considers these payments non-recurring and are recorded as received.

     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 Financial instruments of the Company are represented by cash, accounts receivable and other assets, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and foreign exchange forward contracts. The carrying value of these instruments, other than long-term debt, approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such items or their bearing market related rates of interest. The fair value of the long-term debt is not readily determinable due to the lender being a company formerly under common control. Hierarchy of Financial Instruments The following fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making measurements of the Companys financial instruments: As at December 31, 2010Held for trading

 Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted prices in active markets exist for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes financial instruments for which fair value inputs other than quoted prices are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value inputs are not based on observable market data. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during 2010. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 17. The Companys financial obligations are due as follows:

 Interest accrued at December 31, 2010 is included in accrued liabilities while estimated future interest payments are included in interest on long-term debt. Interest rate risk At December 31, 2010, the Company has no debt facilities at variable interest rates so therefore the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk on accounts receivable from customers and on cash and foreign exchange forward contracts. A majority of the Company's sales are made to a small number of customers that are concentrated in Asian markets. To manage its credit risk, the Company carefully monitors credit terms, investigates credit history and only grants credit to customers with established relationships or acceptable credit ratings. Letters of credit may be used, or inventory may be held as security until payment is received, when such relationships have not been established. As at December 31, 2010, there was $NIL in accounts receivable related to major customers (December 31, 2009 - $NIL related to major customers). As at December 31, 2010, the amount of past due accounts receivable was $4,000. There was no impairment allowance recorded for possible non-collection of this amount as the amount was collected by the Company in the first week of 2011. The credit risk on the Company's cash and foreign exchange forward contracts are substantially minimized as they are placed in, or contracted with, large financial institutions. While the Company is exposed to credit losses due to the financial collapse by those who are custodians to the Company's cash and those that are counter parties to the foreign exchange forward contracts, the Company considers this risk quite remote. Currency Risk The Company is exposed to currency exchange risk as a result of its international markets and operations and due to the term loan detailed in Note 7. The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange forward purchase contracts to manage foreign exchange risk associated with anticipated future debt and interest payments denominated in foreign currencies.

 The Canadian dollar equivalent of the net exposure, using December 31, 2010 exchange rates, as at December 31, 2010 would be a net liability of $551,000 and as at December 31, 2009 would be a net liability of $5,362,000. Based on the above net exposure as at December 31, 2010, an increase in the spot Canadian/US dollar exchange rate of $0.10 would result in a foreign exchange loss of $55,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding foreign exchange gain. The Company also has foreign exchange exposure related to the foreign exchange adjustment of the deficit of self-sustaining foreign operations which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result, an increase in the spot Canadian/US dollar exchange rate of $0.10 would result in other comprehensive income of $195,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding other comprehensive loss. Cumulatively, an increase in the spot Canadian/US dollar exchange rate of $0.10 would result in an increase to comprehensive income of $140,000 while a decrease of $0.10 would result in a corresponding decrease to comprehensive income. 19.

        DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which differ in some respects from US GAAP. The following adjustments and additional disclosures would be required in order to present the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and with practices prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the years then ended. The significant differences between Canadian and US GAAP which affect the Companys financial statements are summarized below: a)
      Accounting for Capitalization of Interest Under Canadian GAAP, interest relating to expenditures on ginseng crop costs has been capitalized. The interest is included in inventory when the ginseng crops are harvested and cost of goods sold when the inventory is sold. Under US GAAP, the portion of interest relating to expenditures on ginseng crop costs would not be eligible for capitalization to ginseng crop costs. The amount would be expensed as period costs and accordingly, the carrying value of crop costs and inventory under US GAAP would be different. Similarly, interest that had been capitalized under Canadian GAAP and included in cost of sales would not have been reported as cost of sales for the period under US GAAP since such costs would have previously have been expensed as period costs. b)
      Accounting for Write-downs of Inventory and Ginseng Crops Under Canadian GAAP, inventory and ginseng crops are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Any write-down to estimated net realizable value can be reversed in subsequent periods if there is a change in circumstances which result in an increase in the estimated net realizable. Under US GAAP, inventory and ginseng crops are also recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value but there is no allowance to reverse a write-down to estimated net realizable value as there is under Canadian GAAP. c)
      Interest and Finance Charges Under Canadian GAAP, interest and finance charges are presented as operating expenses and are included in the calculation of operating income. Under US GAAP, interest and finance charges would be presented as non-operating expenses and would therefore be excluded from the calculation of operating income.

  d)
      Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions As provided by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes (formerly FASB Interpretation 48  Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), under US GAAP there is a requirement to evaluate any tax positions that are uncertain and, if necessary, calculate a liability for uncertain tax positions.. Under current conditions and expectations, the Company does not foresee any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits that would be have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could results in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. e)
      Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements from the United States In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements," which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. This ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosure requirements about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Further, this ASU amends guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715 to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. This standard is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the required provisions of this standard during the first quarter of 2010 and the disclosures are included in Note 18.
