Mr. Zishen Wu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yongye International, stated, "2012 was another solid year for Yongye, as we delivered double digit growth on both the top and bottom line, and continued the expansion of our branded retailer network. The introduction of our two new products, Zhongbaosheng and Qianggenbao, further solidified our market-leading position and enhanced our already strong brand. Additionally, we expanded our manufacturing capacity in order to take advantage of the growing market demand for our products, and now have 70,000 tons of combined annual design production capacity at our Wuchuan and Jinshan Facilities. Yongye continues to be well positioned for long-term growth given China's limited arable land and demand for better agricultural productivity. After our stock trading was halted by NASDAQ on March 18, 2013, we have worked diligently to provide NASDAQ with all the necessary information they requested, and on Tuesday, March 26 we provided a full, detailed response to NASDAQ. We have not yet received a response from them as of today. We will maintain an open line of communications with NASDAQ so as to address all of their concerns and ensure compliance with their regulations."

Full Year 2012 Financial Results

Sales increased by $52.6 million, or 13.5%, to $443.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, from $390.4 million for the same period of 2011. For the full year, the Company derived $438.4 million, or 99.0% of total sales, from liquid crop nutrient, and derived $4.6 million, or 1.0% of total sales, from the powder animal nutrient. For the liquid crop nutrient, the regular crop nutrient contributed $367.6 million, or 83.8% of total liquid crop nutrient, while the two new products for crop seeds and roots contributed $70.8 million, or 16.2% of total liquid crop nutrient sales. During 2012, the number of branded retailers reached 35,058, compared to 30,086 as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 16.5%.

Gross profit was $262.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $228.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 14.9%. Gross margin was 59.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 58.5% for the same period of 2011. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to the decreased purchase price of certain raw materials. The Company recorded non-cash expenses of $2.9 million related to the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list as part of its cost of sales for the full year 2012. Excluding the aforementioned non-cash expenses related to the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, full year 2012 adjusted gross profit was $265.3 million, or 59.9% of sales.*

Selling expenses increased by $30.1 million to $104.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2012, selling expenses increased 4.6% to 23.5% as compared to 18.9% of sales in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotion expense and distributors' seminar expenditure of $28.9 million relating to marketing and promotional activities for the Company's original and newly launched products in their respective markets.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $21.6 million, or 60.4%, to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, from $35.7 million for the same period of 2011. The decrease in G&A expenses was mainly due to the bad debt expenses amounting to $15.0 million for the year of 2011, and reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts of $6.3 million which was recorded in the first quarter of 2012, as well as a decrease in management equity compensation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $13.1 million for the same period of 2011. The R&D expenses mainly consisted of field testing expenses for new and existing products on various crops and in different geographic markets.

Operating income was $116.9 million, or 26.4% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $105.6 million, or 27.0% of sales, in the same period of 2011. Excluding non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation for management and independent directors, the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, and goodwill impairment charge, full year 2012 adjusted operating income was $134.3 million, or 30.3% of sales.*

The Company recorded a non-cash expense related to a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $0.3 million in the full year 2012. Excluding the impact of non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation for management and independent directors, the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and goodwill impairment charge, adjusted net income attributable to Yongye for the full year 2012 was $111.4 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, compared to $93.0 million, or $1.71 per diluted share in the same period of 2011.*

Gross profit was $38.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $23.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 62.2%. Gross margin was 53.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 52.7% for the same period of 2011. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to the decreased purchase price of certain raw materials.

Excluding the aforementioned non-cash expenses related to the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, fourth quarter 2012 adjusted gross profit was $39.1 million, or 54.8% of sales.*

Selling expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 24.1%, to $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, from $11.5 million for the same period of 2011. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to advertising costs associated with branding programs and commercials.

G&A expenses decreased by $15.1 million, or 84.1%, to $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, from $18.0 million for the same period of 2011. The decrease in G&A expenses was mainly due to the bad debt expenses amounting to $15.0 million for the year of 2011.

R&D expenses were $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $2.0 million for the same period of 2011. The R&D expenses mainly consisted of field test expenses for new and existing products on various crops and in different geographic markets.

Excluding the impact of non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation for management and independent directors, the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and goodwill impairment charge, adjusted net income attributable to Yongye for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $20.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $0.5 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the same period of 2011.*

(*) See the table following this press release for a reconciliation of gross profit, income from operations, net income and diluted EPS to exclude non-cash items related to share-based compensation for management and independent directors, the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and goodwill impairment charge to the comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP").

Financial Condition

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $44.6 million in cash and restricted cash, compared to $81.2 million as of December 31, 2011. Working capital was $383.3 million, compared to $270.4 million at the end of 2011. The Company had a $50.9 million short-term bank loan and $12.4 million in long-term debt as of December 31, 2012. Stockholders' equity totaled $436.3 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $331.9 million at the end of 2011. Cash flow used in operating activities was $51.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $31.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. The year over year increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the increase of $25.7 million in working capital employed. That was mainly driven by the increase of accounts receivable and inventory.

Accounts Receivable

At the end of 2012, the amount of Accounts Receivable outstanding was $302.6 million, of which $114.9 million was past the Company's six-month credit period. The significant increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to continued business growth and longer collection days from certain distributors. Yongye recorded an allowance for doubtful receivables in the amount $9.0 million as of December 31, 2012, taking into account current market conditions, customers' financial condition, the accounts receivable ageing and the customers' repayment patterns. Subsequent to this, the Company has collected approximately $225 million from its distributors as of March 29, 2013. The Company continues to take measures to increase collection efforts and closely monitor its distributors' financial status.

Recent Developments

Expansion of Branded Retailer Network

The Company continued the expansion of its branded retailers from 30,086 as of December 31, 2011 to 35,058 as of December 31, 2012, an increase of 16.5%, exceeding the Company's target for 35,000 branded retailers in 2012. The majority of the Company's newly recruited branded retailers are located in Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Guangdong, Shanxi and Xinjiang provinces. The Company remains focused on expanding its distribution networks and deepening its penetration in both new and traditional markets.

Capacity Expansion

In 2012, the Company also completed a capacity expansion project at the Wuchuan Facility. Yongye now has a total of 70,000 tons of combined annual design production capacity at the Wuchuan Facility and the Jinshan Facility.

Update on Go-private Proposal

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company's Board of Directors received a preliminary, non-binding proposal made by Mr. Zishen Wu, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Full Alliance International Limited ("Full Alliance"), Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia Agriculture Holding Limited ("MSPEA"), and Abax Global Capital (Hong Kong) Limited (collectively, "Abax," together with Mr. Wu, Full Alliance and MSPEA, the "Buyer Parties"), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Yongye not currently owned by the Buyer Parties in a going private transaction for $6.60 per share in cash, subject to certain conditions. The Board of Directors formed a Special Committee to consider certain potential transactions involving the Company (including the proposal), and the Special Committee has retained Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP as its legal counsel to assist it in consideration of such matters.

In relation to the above-referenced going private transaction, on October 25, 2012, the Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors retained Houlihan Lokey as the Special Committee's independent financial advisor. The Special Committee is evaluating and considering the Proposal as well as the Company's other alternatives. The Special Committee has been in discussions with the Buyer Parties regarding the proposed transaction and such discussions are continuing.

On April 1, 2013, the Buyer Parties confirmed to the Special Committee that they remain interested in pursuing the proposed going private transaction set forth in their proposal. On the same day, the Special Committee was provided an amended and restated financing commitment letter issued by Abax to Full Alliance, pursuant to which Abax has extended the expiration of its $35 million conditional mezzanine financing commitment to the earliest of (i) April 15, 2013, if the common stock of the Company has not resumed trading on NASDAQ by 4 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (ii) April 30, 2013, (iii) the date of definitive documentation for which such financing becomes effective and (iv) the date the acquisition agreement for the proposed transaction becomes effective. Additionally, Abax's commitment is subject to a number of conditions, including among others, Abax's completion of its review of and satisfaction in all respect with, the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. No decisions have been made by the Special Committee with respect to the Company's response to the going private proposal. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made, that any agreement will be executed or that this or any other transaction will be approved or consummated.

Business Outlook

According to the Company's revenue recognition policy, certain distributors' revenue is being recognized on a cash basis rather than a shipment basis. In addition, the Company's distributors' payment cycle has been longer in 2012 compared to prior years. As a result, the Company has difficulty knowing what its revenue will be with specificity until cash collection is completed. Yongye will continue to provide expectations on shipments, which is not impacted by the revenue recognition issue mentioned above. The Company expects total shipments in 2013 to be in the range of $650 million to $680 million, representing a growth of 20% to 25% over 2012. The Company also expects that its branded retailer network will be expanded to 36,000 by the end of 2013, which represents a 3% increase over the 2012 year-end number of 35,058.

Filling of Form 10-K and Conference Call

The Company has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K on April 1, 2013. The Company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on April 2, 2013, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2012 results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP results for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and full year 2012 include non-cash items related to share-based compensation for management and independent directors, the amortization of the acquired Hebei customer list, a change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and goodwill impairment charge. To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company has provided adjusted financial information excluding the impact of these items in this release. It is a departure of U.S. GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that these adjusted measures provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company's historical performance. These adjusted measures should not be considered an alternative to net income, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company. A reconciliation of the adjustments to U.S. GAAP results appears in the table accompanying this press release. This additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies.
