All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Upon the acquisition of Bao Sai, the results of subsidiary acquired during the periods are included in the consolidated financial statement from the effective date of acquisition.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company quarterly reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
· Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| | Depreciable life | | Residual value | |
Buildings | | | 20 to 40 years | | | 5 | % |
Plant and equipment | | | 5 to 16 years | | | 5 | % |
Motor vehicles | | | 8 to 12 years | | | 5 | % |
Furniture, fixture and office equipment | | | 5 to 8 years | | | 5 | % |
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Intangible asset include technical know-how purchased from a third party. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), intangible assets with finite useful lives related to developed technology, customer lists, trade names and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset.
Technical know-how is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment charge and is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful lives of 10 years beginning at the time it is granted.
All lands in the PRC are owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, all of the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leasehold land and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreements on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and they will expire in 2052.

· Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment as of March 31, 2008.
In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company records revenue when services are received by the customers and realized the amounts net of provisions for discounts, allowance and taxes which are recognized at the time of services performed.
Pursuant to the agreements entered into between the Company and Tong Du Hospital ("the Hospital"), the Company and the Hospital would jointly operate the medical center in the provision of diagnostic imaging services to the patients. In return, the Company and the Hospital would share net revenues from services rendered, on a monthly basis, when earned, at their net realizable amounts from patients for services rendered at contractually established billing rates, after deducting the total operating cost of the centers. The Company recognizes net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the center.
The Company records the revenue, net of business tax, from the customers through the Hospital, on a net basis in compliance with EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”
Revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of the Company’s final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance.
The Company is subject to valued-added tax (“VAT”) under the PRC tax law which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the subsidiaries in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.

Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
The Company accounts for income taxes in interim periods as required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” and as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.” The Company has determined an estimated annual effective tax rate. The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the Company’s fiscal year to the Company’s best current estimate. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of the interim period.
The Company also accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company also adopts the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company has analyzed the filing positions in all of the jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2008.
The Company conducts its major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.
In accordance with FIN 48, the Company adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense.

· Net income (loss) per share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,“Earnings per Share.” Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
· Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, Hua Long, New Century and Bao Sai maintain their books and records in its local currency, the Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with SFAS No 52. “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | | | | |
Months end RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 7.0222 | | | 7.7697 | |
Average daily RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 7.1757 | | | 7.8635 | |

· Stock-based compensation
The Company adopts SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R") using the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in the financial statements. Starting from 2008, the Company operates in two reportable segments: Medical Business and Extraction Business in the PRC.
· Fair value of financial instruments
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, amount due from (to) related parties, notes receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, note payable, income tax payable, other payables and accrued liabilities.
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short term maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective period ends.

· Recently issued accounting standards
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company believes that SFAS 159 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that SFAS 160 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.

(d) Exchange rate risk
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB.

If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 1996 as Laredo Investment Corp. On August 9, 2004, Laredo Investment Corp. changed its name to GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GFRP specialized in formulating, blending, encapsulating and packing nutritional products. The Company’s operations were located in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
On October 15, 2006, we executed an acquisition agreement with Hua Long. Pursuant to the Agreement, we paid Hua Long Shareholders approximately $187,500 in cash to acquire a 100% interest in the shares of registered capital of Hua Long. Hua Long acts as the holding company of New Century Scientific Investment Ltd.

The acquisition of Hua Long allowed us to complete the share exchange with New Century in China. Upon completion of the acquisition, we owned 100% equity interest of Hua Long which in turn owns a 95% equity interest in New Century. The transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by the accounting acquirer, Hua Long, and as a re-organization by the accounting acquiree.

The net asset value was $4,650,420.
Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreements, the Company will pay an aggregate purchase price of RMB 15,873,030 yuan to Xi’an Bio-sep Biological Filler Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. for 46.67% of the Bao Sai stock (28 million shares) in two installments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, the Company records revenue when services are received by the customers and realized the amounts net of provisions for discounts, allowance and taxes which are recognized at the time of services performed.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement and the Additional Cooperation Agreement entered into between the Company and Tong Du Hospital (“Hospital”) dated February 2, 2006, the Company and the Hospital would jointly operate the medical center in the provision of diagnostic imaging services to the patients. In return, the Company and the Hospital would share net revenues from services rendered, on a monthly basis, when earned, at their net realizable amounts from patients for services rendered at contractually established billing rates, after deducting the total operating cost of the centers. The Company recognizes net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the centers.
The Company records the revenue, net of sales tax, from the customers through the Hospital, on a net basis in compliance with EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principle versus Net as an Agent.”
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
Stock-based compensation
The Company adopts SFAS No. 123R,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” using the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| | Depreciable life | | Residual value | |
| | | | | |
Buildings | | | 20 years | | | 5% | |
Medical equipment | | | 13 to 16 years | | | 5% | |
Furniture, fixture and equipment | | | 5 years | | | 5% | |
Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
Revenues
We recorded revenues of $682,407 and $399,879_for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. New Century owns radiology and oncology equipment and provides it to Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”) in Shan Xi province, which is affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University. New Century currently owns three different devices used for radiological imaging for the brain and body and cancer treatment. The Center averaged 137 cases per month in 2006 and 204 cases per month in 2007. New Century receives a percentage of profits from the Center.
New Century entered into its relationship with Tangdu Hospital on February 2, 2006, when it accepted the rights and responsibilities previously held by Masep Medical Science & Technology Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Masep”) which Masep undertook pursuant to the “Cooperation Establishment of ‘Tangdu Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center’ Agreement” by and between Masep and Tandgu Hospital, dated May 18, 2001, as amended (the “Tangdu Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Tangdu Agreement, New Century presently receives eighty percent (80%) of the profits generated by the Center. New Century’s profit sharing percentage decreases over the term of the Tangdu Agreement, which is sixteen years from the date that the Center opened in January 2002.
We recognize net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the centers. The services revenues were recorded when services are received by the customers and realized the amounts net of provisions for discounts, allowance and taxes which are recognized at the time of services performed. Net revenues of $682,407 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 represent an increase of $282,528, as compared to net revenues from the same period ended March 31, 2007. Such increase was due primarily to the additional revenue from sales of Bao Sai’s products, which totaled $206,712.
Net Income
Our net income was $148,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $219,487, as compared to net income of $(70,509) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Such increase was due primarily to the increase in revenues covering the operating expenses in these periods.
We expect to be profitable during fiscal year 2008 through the implementation of our marketing strategies. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully implement our marketing strategies and there can be no assurance for the achievement and any revenue growth will take place in the future.
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $374,521, as compared to operating expenses of $363,181 for the same period ended March 31, 2007. Increased operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were due primarily to the increase of our business scope and scale.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations during this period. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of sales by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $158,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to cash flows of $60,370 from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Positive cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were due primarily to the net income of $148,978, the increase in the non-cash depreciation expenses to $174,159, the decrease in prepayments by $146,423, and the increase in income tax payable of $172,939. The positive cash flow was also attributable to accounts receivable of $63,191 and other payables of $90,912. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were due primarily to the non-cash depreciation expenses of $111,638, the increase in stock-based compensation of $192,000, the increase in receivable from a third party of $319,120,the increase in income tax payable by $71,950 and the increase in other payable by $34,495, partially offset by the increase in net income which was $70,509, respectively.
Cash flows used in investment activities were $387,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, due to cash received from acquisition and the purchase of property and equipment in these periods.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $(132,046) for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to advances to related companies of $(395,200) and contribution from stockholders of $263,136, compared to cash flow of $25,122 used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to advances to related companies.
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through March 31, 2008 with a series of debt and equity transactions, including accounts payable of $924,366, and amount due to related parties of $1,455,024. If we are unable to receive additional cash from our related parties, we may need to rely on financing from outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Zhao Yan Ding, and Principal Financial Officer, Zhong Ya Li, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2008, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
