INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This Schedule 13D is filed by Morgan Stanley (“MS”). This Schedule 13D represents the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by MS with respect to Feihe International, Inc. (the “Company”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

|---|---|
| (d) – (e) | During the last five years, neither MS, nor, to the knowledge of MS, any of the persons listed on Schedule A, (1) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws, other than, in the case of clause (2), as described in Schedule B hereto. |
| (f) | The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of MS are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. |
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
It is anticipated that, at the price per share of Common Stock set forth in the Proposal (as described in Item 4 below), approximately US$80 million will be expended in acquiring 10,814,933 outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Company other than Mr. You-Bin Leng (“Mr. Leng”), the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Publicly Held Shares”).
It is anticipated that the funding for the acquisition of the Publicly Held Shares will be provided by a combination of debt and equity financing. The equity financing will be provided by MSPEA IMF Holding Limited (“MSPEA”), an investment holding company indirectly controlled by MS, in the form of cash. The source of funds to be contributed by MSPEA for such equity financing will come from certain funds managed or advised by affiliates of MS. On October 3, 2012, MSPEA received a letter from Wing Lung Bank Limited indicating that it is highly confident of its ability to provide debt financing in the form of a loan facility in an amount of US$50 million that would be required for the proposed acquisition of the Publicly Held Shares.
In addition to the Publicly Held Shares, MS may be deemed to have indirect beneficial of the 87,972 Additional Shares (as defined in Item 5). The MS Reporting Units (as defined in the footnote to Item 5) obtained the purchase price for such Additional Shares through internally generated and client-sourced funds.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On October 3, 2012, Mr. Leng and MSPEA entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, Mr. Leng and MSPEA agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company’s board of directors for the acquisition of the Publicly Held Shares, (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the transaction contemplated under the Proposal for a maximum of 6 months after the date thereof, (iii) to conduct a joint assessment of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable, and (iv) to use their reasonable best efforts to work together to structure, negotiate and do all things necessary or desirable, subject to the Company’s approval, to enter into the definitive agreements in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Proposal.

On October 3, 2012, Mr. Leng and MSPEA, on behalf of themselves, submitted the Proposal to the Company’s board of directors. In the Proposal, Mr. Leng and MSPEA proposed to acquire, through an acquisition vehicle to be established by Mr. Leng and MSPEA, all of the Publicly Held Shares for US$7.40 per share. Mr. Leng and MSPEA also stated in the Proposal that they are interested only in acquiring the Publicly Held Shares, and that Mr. Leng does not intend to sell his stakes in the Company. Mr. Leng and MSPEA intend to finance the transactions contemplated under the Proposal through a combination of debt and equity financing. For a brief description of the financing plan, please refer to Item 3.
Any definitive agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Proposal is likely to be subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders of the terms of such transactions, accuracy of the representations and warranties given by the parties to the merger agreement, compliance by each party to such agreement with its covenants thereunder, the absence of a material adverse effect.
If the transactions contemplated under the Proposal are completed, the Common Stock would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act and would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

SCHEDULE B
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Morgan Stanley” means Morgan Stanley and its consolidated subsidiaries. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”) and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB LLC”), referenced below, are Morgan Stanley’s primary U.S. broker-dealers.
(a) Starting in July 2003, Morgan Stanley received subpoenas and requests for information from various regulatory and governmental agencies, including the SEC, the NYSE and various states, in connection with industry-wide investigations of broker-dealers and mutual fund complexes relating to possible late trading and market timing of mutual funds. In December 2007, Morgan Stanley settled all claims with the SEC concerning late trading and market timing of mutual funds in the retail system over the period from January 2002 to August 2003. Under the terms of the settlement, Morgan Stanley will, among other things, be censured and pay a monetary fine.
(b) On September 30, 2009, Morgan Stanley entered into an administrative settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to resolve certain violations of the U.S. environmental laws allegedly committed by Morgan Stanley during 2005. These alleged violations included: distribution of approximately 2.7 million gallons of reformulated gasoline that failed to comply with maximum benzene content limitations; failure to report volume and property information for each batch of gasoline blendstock imported and reformulated gasoline produced; failure to conduct an annual attest engagement; and failure to provide product transfer documents for each transfer of reformulated gasoline and each batch of previously certified gasoline. Without admitting or denying the EPA’s allegations, Morgan Stanley agreed to resolve these matters for a civil penalty of $405,000.
(c) On June 24, 2010, Morgan Stanley and the Office of the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Massachusetts OAG”) entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance (“AOD”) to resolve the Massachusetts OAG’s investigation of Morgan Stanley’s financing, purchase and securitization of certain subprime residential mortgages. The AOD provides for Morgan Stanley to make payments totaling approximately $102.7 million, and for Morgan Stanley to use its best efforts to implement certain business practices related to such activities on a prospective basis.
In addition, MS&Co. has been involved in a number of civil proceedings and regulatory actions which concern matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business. Certain of such proceedings have resulted in findings of violation of federal or state securities laws. Such proceedings are reported and summarized in the MS&Co. Form BD filed with the SEC, which descriptions are hereby incorporated by reference. The MSSB LLC Form BD filed with the SEC is also hereby incorporated by reference.
