Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
China Biopharma, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of China Biopharma, Inc. (a Delaware corporation in the development stage) for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

In 2006, the Company re-focused its business from telecommunications to bio-pharmaceuticals. Currently, the Company develops its products in China and distributes these products in China and in one other country. The Company has established its distribution and development platform in China and as a result of its acquisition of its interest in its subsidiary, Hainan CITIC Bio-pharmaceutical Development Co., Ltd. (“HCBD”) and, as a result of its joint venture with Zhejiang Tianyuan Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Zhejiang Tianyan”)
The emphasis of the Company’s business is on the development of technology and the marketing of products rather than on manufacturing. It is the Company’s goal to operate efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations and to reduce the risk of any potential factory contaminations with respect to its products. The Company believes that to date, it has been successful in establishing business relationships with a number of local and global manufacturers with the goal of introducing the most advanced technologies and best products to the market in a timely fashion. The Company believes that it has built an experienced and capable management team that will be able to work toward successfully implementing its business plan.
Description of Company
The Company was incorporated as Techedge, Inc. in Delaware in July 2002 to serve as the successor to the business and interests of BSD Development Partners, LTD. (“BSD”). BSD was a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1997 for the purpose of investing in the intellectual property of emerging and established companies. BSD merged with Techedge in September 2002. From September 2002 until June 2004, Techedge endeavored to continue the business of BSD and sought to enhance the liquidity of the securities owned by its investors by becoming subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and by seeking to have its common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or OTCBB.
On June 9, 2004, Techedge acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of China Quantum Communication Limited, or CQCL, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, by and among Techedge, certain of its stockholders, CQCL and its stockholders (the “Share Exchange”). In connection with the Share Exchange, Techedge’s then existing directors and officers resigned as directors and officers of Techedge and were replaced by directors and officers designated by CQCL.
Following the Share Exchange, Techedge refocused its business efforts on developing and providing its IP-based personal communication service, a regional mobile voice over IP (“VoIP”) service delivered on unlicensed low-power PCS frequencies through IP-enabled local transceiver and IP-centric soft-switched networks, operating on an advanced proprietary software centric multi-service global communication service platform and management system. Techedge continued operating CQCL’s communications service business through CQCL and CQCL’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, China Quantum Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Guang Tong Wang Luo Ke Ji (China) Co. Ltd. (also known as Quantum Communications (China) Co., Ltd.), a Chinese company.
On January 26, 2006, the Company announced its plans to re-position itself for bio-pharmaceutical and other high growth opportunities in China, while continuing its commercialization of its high potential mobile VoIP services.
In conjunction with the Company’s re-positioning plans, on February 27, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement to transfer ownership of its Chinese subsidiary Zheijang Guang Tong Wang Luo Co., Ltd to third parties. On January 1, 2006, the Company also entered into an agreement to transfer ownership of its U.S. subsidiary China Quantum Communications, Inc. to a former employee.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the outstanding capital stock of China BioPharma Limited (“CBL”), a Cayman Islands company, which has rights to invest in Tianyuan Bio-Pharmaceuticals Company, Ltd. and Zhejiang Tianyuan Biotech Co., Ltd. (“ZTBC”). In exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital of CBL, the Company issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to CBL’s stockholders.
On July 14, 2006, Techedge and China Biopharma, Inc. (“CBI”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Techedge, executed and delivered a Plan and Agreement of Merger whereby the parties agreed to merge CBI with and into Techedge, with Techedge being the surviving corporation. By virtue of, and effective upon the consummation of the merger, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended to change its name from “Techedge, Inc.” to “China Biopharma, Inc.”. The merger became effective on August 10, 2006.
In April 2006, ZTBC acquired 20% of the outstanding stock of Hainan CITIC Bio-pharmaceutical Development Co., Ltd. from three individuals in consideration for a payment of $600,000; In August 2006, ZTBC acquired an additional 40% of the outstanding stock of HCBD from CITIC Pharmaceutical and China Biological Engineering Corporation in consideration for a payment of $1,200,000. In December 2006, ZTBC acquired another 10% of the outstanding stock of HCBD from one individual in consideration for a payment of $300,000.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2006
Revenue
Revenue increased by $150,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $0 for three months ended March 31, 2006. As a result of the Company’s re-positioning for bio-pharmaceutical opportunities in China and its exit from value-added communications services in the U.S., there was no revenue in the first quarter of 2006, and all of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was generated from the vaccine distribution business solely as a result of consolidation of the financials of HCBD for the period. Vaccine is a seasonal product that is used mainly during late the fall and early winter seasons. Every year, the World Health Organization makes recommendations as to what virus strain should be used for the upcoming season and vaccines are manufactured based upon such recommendations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was no single customer accounting for more than 10% of our total revenue.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of sales increased by $143,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $0 for three months ended March 31, 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cost of sales was comprised mainly of the purchasing of vaccine and other bio-pharmaceutical products. There was no revenue and therefore no cost of sales in the first quarter of 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consisted primarily of labor cost and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, legal, human resources and general management. Such costs also include the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation pursuant to FAS 123(R).
SG&A expenses increased by $661,206 to $937,585 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $276,379 in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was mainly attributed to the increase in costs related to being a public company including professional services related to auditing, legal and other services.
Interest Expense
Interest expense net of interest income, was $58,652 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily comprised of $60,000 accrued interest for the $3,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes at an interest rate of 8% per annum.
Income Taxes
The Company has been incurring operating losses over the years and therefore is only required to accrue and pay minimum taxes according to local tax regulations, except which no income tax provision has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006 as a result of the accumulated operating losses incurred.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss increased by $592,850 or 182.7% to $917,371 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $324,521 for three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in SG&A for the period, partially offset by other comprehensive income for amount of $62,800 for the period, resulting from foreign currency translation gains.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had combined cash and cash equivalents of $462,086 and working capital deficit of $337,626, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,307,799 and working capital of $813,683, respectively, at December 31, 2006. The decrease in our working capital reflected a decrease in current assets, mainly in cash and cash equivalents, to cover the operating expenses, and an increase in current liabilities as a result of long term debt becoming due in one year. Our current liabilities of $5,470,186 included $1,714,286 in current portion of the two-year Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, and $956,717 in loans from and deferred compensation due to the officers of the Company which are payable on demand.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company used approximately $1,888,402 of cash for operations as compared to approximately $53,437 for the same period in 2006. This was mainly attributive to the Company’s increased loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared the same period in 2005, attributed to the factors discussed above; and increase in assets in terms of receivables and inventory between the two periods.
There was no cash flow incurred in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company received net proceeds of $4,985 from one employee for exercise of stock options. Payment for principal and interest of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes was made in form of common stock and thus no cash flow incurred.
The management of the Company acknowledges that its existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund its operations over the next 12 months. Therefore, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern will be dependent on whether the Company can generate sufficient revenue or obtain funding from alternative sources.

Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), the Notes are convertible at the lesser of $0.25 per share and 75% of the average of the closing bid prices for the common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of conversion.

Currency exchange fluctuations
For the purpose of funding operations of our Chinese subsidiary, we have implemented simple currency hedging against fluctuations in the Chinese Renminbi to United States dollar exchange rate.
Need for current financing
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise capital in the near term to: (1) satisfy our current obligations, and (2) continue our planned re-positioning for bio-pharmaceutical opportunities in China. We do not have sufficient capital to fund our operations at the current level unless we receive additional capital either through external independent or related party funding, revenues from sales, further expense reductions or some combination thereof.
