Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure notes payable. See Note 10.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(j) Long-Term Investments
The Company has invested in three companies in the PRC that have operations in the pharmaceutical industry. The Company does not have more than 20% interest in any of these investments and does not exercise significant influence over them. The Company accounts for these investments under the cost method. Investment income is recognized by the Company when the investee declares a dividend and the Company believes it is collectible.
(k) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
20 to 40 years
Machinery
10 years
Motor vehicles
10 years
Office equipment
5 years
Leasehold improvements
5 years or term of life
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(l) Construction in Progress
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or the acquisition cost of buildings or machinery and design fees. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until the assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
(m) Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest as a component of building construction costs. Total interest expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $527,170 and $385,020, respectively. Total interest expense capitalized as part of the construction costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $22,111 and $44,219, respectively.

The Company also periodically evaluates the amortization periods of its depreciable assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful lives. Impairment of long-term investments amounting to $156,785 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 due to the deterioration in financial condition of the invested entities. Also see Note 9.

-Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
-Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
-The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and

(z) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, (as revised in December 2003) The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Interpretation No. 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties, which is provided through other interest that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity; (ii) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the en tities activities through voting rights or similar rights; or the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities; the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for the risk of absorbing the expected losses.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Interpretation No. 46, as revised, also requires expanded disclosures by the primary beneficiary (as defined) of a variable interest entity and by an enterprise that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity but is not the primary beneficiary.
Interpretation No. 46, as revised, applies to small business issuers no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004. This effective date includes those entities to which Interpretation 46 had previously been applied.
However, prior to the required application of Interpretation No. 46, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply Interpretation 46 or this Interpretation to those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003.
Interpretation No. 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet.
SFAS No. 150 affects the issuer’s accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involves instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under this Statement is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers’ shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety.
Most of the provisions of Statement 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements”. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with the FASB’s proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own shares. This Statement shall be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, as to which the effective date is for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The March 2004, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant and the Division of Corporate Finance released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 105, “Loan Commitment Accounted for as Derivative Instruments”. This bulletin contains specific guidance on the inputs to a valuation-recognition model to measure loan commitments accounted for at fair value, and requires that fair-value measurement include only differences between the guaranteed interest rate in the loan commitment and market interest rate, excluding any expected future cash flows related to the customer relationship or loan servicing. In addition, SAB 105 requires the disclosure of the accounting policy for loan commitments, and any associated hedging strategies. SAB105 is effective for derivative instruments, entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004 and should also be applied to existing instrument s as appropriated.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs”. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of the Statement will be effective for the Company beginning in 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets, an Amendment of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 29”. This statement amends APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”.
Earlier guidance had been based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and APB No. 29 included certain exceptions to this principle. However, FASB 153 eliminated the specific exceptions for nonmonetary exchanges with a general exception rule for all exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial and economic substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance only if the future cash flows of the entity is excepted to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which supersedes APB opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This statement requires a public entity to recognize and measure the cost of employee services it receives in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). These costs will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). This statement also establishes the standards for the accounting treatment of these share-based payment

transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement shall be effective the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005 for small business public entities and nonpublic companies.
The implementation of the above pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
