This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among others, statements relating to: our business strategy, including our acquisition or proposed acquisition of complementary businesses or integration of acquired businesses; other potential product licensing opportunities; the successful completion of negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to complete clinical work, registration, marketing and distribution of drugs in China; completion of our proposed acquisition of a majority interest in Shanghai Rongheng Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Rongheng); any potential benefits to be realized by the proposed Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Corporation (GPC), Rongheng and Sunstone acquisitions; our intent to enter into the Guangzhou market; the anticipated product launch timeline; our belief that our fully-integrated approach significantly improved sales growth for Propess and Anpo; the potential synergies of Sunstone and BMP China; our ability to leverage our marketing capabilities with any future distribution capabilities or to drive demand for distributed product or increase market share in the Chinese pharmaceutical marketing and distribution markets; our future financial and operating results including our 2008 guidance; the market size in China in future periods for prescription and OTC drugs; and our ability to secure additional financing. The words "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "propose," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our, our partners or our industry's actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this presentation, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and projections of the future about which we cannot be certain. Many factors affect our ability to achieve our objectives, including, among others: delays in acquiring Rhongheng; difficulties in acquiring complementary businesses or in integrating acquired businesses; delays in product introduction and marketing or interruptions in supply; a decrease in business from Wanwei or Sunstone; our inability to compete successfully against new and existing competitors or to leverage our marketing capabilities with any future acquired distribution capabilities; adverse economic, political or social conditions in China; our inability to obtain or renew our GSP certificate to conduct business as a pharmaceutical distributor or to maintain this certificate and permit; our inability to manage our growth effectively; our inability to attract and retain key personnel; our inability to effectively market our services or obtain and maintain arrangements with manufacturers and distributors; a slowdown in the Chinese economy; and other factors disclosed in our SEC filings, including the "Risk Factors" sections of such filings. Any of these factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this presentation will prove to be accurate. In addition, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, if at all. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. 2 Safe Harbor Statement |
