NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc., (formerly known as SRKP 8, Inc.) (the “Company”) were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (“Management”) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2007.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Translating Financial Statements - The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The functional currency of the operating subsidiaries in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”); however, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States Dollars (“USD”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. The condensed consolidated statements of operations have been translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the operating periods of each statement.
NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Business - China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “the Parent” or “the Group”) and its subsidiaries designs, develops, markets, exports and sells pharmaceutical, nutritional supplements and cosmetic products throughout the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and abroad. The Company also conducts research and development for third parties as well as for itself using the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng, also known as Sanqi, Sanchi, or Tienchi and sells pharmaceutical, nutritional supplements and cosmetic products that contain this herb, which is grown in two provinces in the PRC. Sales from the cosmetic products represent less than 10% of total Company sales and revenue. The Company does not maintain accounting records by line of business as the Company’s subsidiaries sell products from multiple lines of business and management evaluates each subsidiary as a separate entity.
Organization - The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 24, 2005. On August 31, 2006, the Company consummated a share exchange agreement, as amended (“Agreement”), with Lan’s Int’l Medicine Investment Co., a Hong Kong corporation, and a shareholder holding 93.75% of the equity interest of Kunming Shenghuo Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Shenghuo”) whereby the Company, in exchange for 15,213,000 shares of its common stock, acquired 93.75% of Shenghuo’s shares.
In addition, the Company agreed to cancel 2,036,000 shares of its common stock; issue 1,242,400 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of its common stock (the “Warrants”) for services rendered, and issue 2,000,000 shares for $1,800,000 cash (less costs of $535,304).
As part of several agreements, the Company agreed to register the 1,242,400 shares of its common stock and the Warrants. The Company also agreed to register the 2,000,000 shares of common stock that were to be issued for cash and the 664,000 shares of common stock that were held by the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to the Agreement.
As part of these agreements, the Company agreed to a penalty provision with certain shareholders. If the Company fails to register the 2,000,000 shares that were issued for cash due to failure on the part of the Company, the Company will pay to those shareholders a cash payment equal to 0.0333% of the purchase price of their respective shares for each business day of the failure. There is no maximum potential consideration to be transferred. The Company is required to file the registration statement no later than thirty days after the consummation of the agreement and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within one hundred and fifty (150) days after the consummation of the agreement, or one hundred eighty (180) days after the consummation of the agreement if the Registration Statement is subject to a full review by the SEC. The Company is also required to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the Registration Statement effective for a period of twenty-four (24) months at the Company’s expense. The registration statement was filed within the prescribed time period and went effective on June 14, 2007.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Similarly, if the Company fails to register 315,400 of the shares that were outstanding prior to the Agreement or the 1,042,400 shares issued for services rendered, due to failure on the part of the Company, additional shares of its common stock shall be issued to the respective shareholders in the amount of 0.0333% of their respective shares for each calendar day until the registration becomes effective. Correspondingly, there is no maximum potential consideration to be transferred in connection with the registration of these shares. Further, the Company shall file a registration statement no later than the tenth (10) day after the end of the six (6) month period that immediately follows the filing date of the initial registration statement (the “Required Filing Date”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Required Filing Date or the actual filing date, whichever is earlier, or one hundred fifty (150) days after the Required Filing Date or the actual filing date, whichever is earlier, if the registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the registration statement effective for a period of twenty-four (24) months at the Company’s expense. There is no penalty associated with the other shares or the Warrants. The registration statement for the shares was filed July 30, 2007, but has not been declared effective to date.
The Company considers any probability of payment of either of these penalties to be remote as both are on a best efforts basis and the Company intends to and has resources available to comply with all requirements listed above. Therefore, there are no liabilities accrued or gains or losses resulting from changes to this liability included in the financial statements.
Because the shares issued by the Company to Shenghuo’s shareholders in the aforementioned transaction represented a controlling interest, the transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization or reverse merger with Shenghuo being considered the acquirer. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated on a retroactive basis to present the capital structure of Shenghuo as though it were the reporting entity.
In October 1995, Shenghuo was formed under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) and subsequently acquired an 80% interest in both Kunming Shenghuo Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Medicine”) and Kunming Pharmaceutical Importation and Exportation Co., Ltd. (“Import/Export”), and a 98.18% interest in Kunming Shenghuo Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (“Cosmetic”). All of these entities were also formed in and operate within the PRC. Stockholder’s equity was represented by share capital and no shares were outstanding prior to August 31, 2006. Share capital of Shenghuo prior to the consummation of the agreement was $2,660,760. On August 30, 2006, the minority shareholders of Medicine agreed to transfer 19% of their 20% interest to Shenghuo for $249,800. Also on August 30, 2006, the minority shareholders of Import/Export agreed to transfer 19% of their 20% interest to Shenghuo for $24,980. Subsequent to these transfers, Shenghuo owns 99% of the equity interests in Medicine and Import/Export.
In September, 2006 Shenghuo formed Kunming Beisheng Tech Development Ltd. “Beisheng,” under the laws of the PRC as its partially owned subsidiary for the purpose of doing research and development on bio-tech products, health-care products and cosmetics, import and export business on medicines, equipment and pharmaceutical technologies. Upon formation, Shenghuo owned 70% of Beishing. There were no material operations for Beisheng for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated to give effect to potentially issuable dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2007 are comprised of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.20. There were no potentially dilutive shares at June 30, 2006.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Other comprehensive income (loss) presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
Advertising Expense - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $22,380 and $0, respectively.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards -In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and to recognize the resulting gains and losses in the results of operations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The impact of adopting SFAS 159 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had payables due to related parties in the amount of $79,582 and $393,213, respectively. These amounts are due on demand and do not accrue interest.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company is not subject to any income taxes in the United States, but is subject to corporate income tax in the PRC at a rate of 30% and a local income tax rate of 3%. However, because the Company’s operations are located in a special region of the PRC, its corporate income tax rate is 15%. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases and any tax credit carry forwards available. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has established a valuation allowance for all deferred income tax assets of Cosmetic due to the uncertainty of their realization. Income taxes payable are included in taxes and related payables on the accompanying balance sheets.
On March 15, 2007, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Medicine was granted an approval of their application by the government of the PRC for relief of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. As a result, Medicine recognized an aggregate of $1,099,401 in income taxes that were no longer payable as of March 15, 2007. The amount has been recognized under the caption “Benefit from (provision for) income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic environment - Since all of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s operational results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to medical reforms and other laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In addition, all of the Company’s revenue is denominated in the PRC’s currency CNY, which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of the PRC. Both the conversion of CNY into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government.
Dependence on a single raw material - The primary ingredient in all of the Company’s products is Sanchi, an herb grown in two provinces of the PRC. The Company relies on its in-house purchasing department to acquire sufficient Sanchi at reasonable prices and may on occasion make advance payments to suppliers that include provisions setting the purchase price and delivery date. However, the Company is not reliant on a single source or supplier in order to obtain the Sanchi.
Contingent Liability - The Company was sued by a former employee for violation of his contract and the courts entered a judgment in favor of the employee in 2003 for $128,978, which included litigation costs. The Company accrued the liability for this loss at December 31, 2003 and paid the amount of the judgment on April 27, 2004. In 2006, the plaintiff has asked the court to have the Company pay a penalty for not paying the judgment timely in the amount of $100,000. The court had frozen a bank account that had $105,284. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the court rejected the request for the penalty and released the funds back to the Company. The employee has now asserted claims for allegedly ruining the employee’s reputation and causing mental anguish. No amount has been recorded in connection with this claim as the Company believes that no information suggests that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss as a result of this litigation cannot be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
The Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.50 which expire five years from the date of issue of August 31, 2006.
On June 19, 2007 the Company sold 460,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.50 per share in an initial public offering for gross proceeds of $1,610,000.

Overview
We are primarily engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement and cosmetic products. Almost all of our products are derived from the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng, also known as Sanqi, Sanchi or Tienchi. Panax notoginseng is a greyish-brown or greyish-yellow plant that only grows in a few geographic locations on Earth, one of which is Yunnan Province in southwest China, where we are located. The main root of Panax notoginseng are cylindrical shaped and are most commonly one to six centimeters long and one to four centimeters in diameter. Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), the active ingredients in Panax notoginseng, are extracted from the plant using high-tech equipment and in accord with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Our main product, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, accounted for more than 80% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
We earn revenues mainly from the production and sale of our products and external processing. We hope to increase profits as a result of making new products and increasing sales, since the sale of products is our main source for generating cash. Our business involves a significant degree of risk as a result of the opportunities and challenges we face in selling our products. We have traditionally focused on research and development of products serving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, peptic ulcer disease and health products markets, but we intend to devote additional resources to research and development and to continue to evaluate and develop additional product candidates to expand our pipeline where we perceive an unmet need and commercial potential, and to improve existing products to enhance their efficacy.
With intense price competition among many similar or identical products in the industry, we believe that building brand equity is the primary means to generate and sustain profitable growth in the future. Our brand strategy is centered on “Lixuwang”—the brand under which most of our products are sold. We believe that our relationships within the Chinese pharmaceutical industry are key to building brand equity, and we believe we can benefit from developing and maintaining relationships with professionals within the industry, especially physicians and hospitals.
Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, which are subject to wholesale and retail price controls by the Chinese government, are primarily sold in China, but the product is also sold in various developing countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan. Sales of the product in China are regulated by the SFDA as a prescription drug and therefore must be sold to consumers through hospital pharmacies and cannot be advertised, thus limiting the ability of the company to market the brand. Approximately 15% of sales of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules are sold to hospitals directly while approximately 85% of sales are made to distributors. Our three largest customers are Yunnan Province Pharmaceutical, LTD., Beijing Ai’xin Weiye Medicine, LTD, and Nanyang Jikang Medicine LTD, all of which accounted for 6.52%, 5.92% and 5.88% of our sales, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our marketing team maintains sales offices or agents in approximately 20 provinces throughout China. The sales network covers approximately 186 cities and is staffed by approximately 400 sales representatives. We intend to grow our internal marketing and sales function and increase our relationships with other national distributors to expand the distribution and presence of our non-prescription brands and cosmetics.
We hope to further expand sales beyond China into other countries where our products could be affordable treatment options. We intend to focus on the expansion of our cosmetics product line and devote additional marketing and sales resources to that end with the aim that our cosmetics products will account for a larger percentage of our revenue in the future.
We believe that among the most important economic or industry-wide factors relevant to our growth in the short term are reform of the medical system in China and the adjustment of medicine prices, which will affect the sale of our main product, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, in hospitals. In order to increase long-term growth, we have applied for the designation of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules as a medicine with “good quality worthy of high price,” which we received in February 2007. We believe this designation may help prevent future price reductions and possibly offset revenue decreases in case of declining future sales. Currently, the Chinese government supports the medical system in urban and rural communities. We hope to stabilize the sales channel into hospitals and widen the reach of sales in urban and rural communities at the same time. Large increases in medicine sales at an average lower price will ensure the growth of general medical sales over the next few years.
We do face certain challenges and risks, including our relatively high debt ratio, which is one of our main risks. If we fail to raise capital in overseas markets, we will encounter great difficulties as a result of the shortage of working capital which we will face when our new cosmetic and health products come onto the market. There is potential for growth in production and sales, due to the growth of new products and expansion of new channels into urban and rural communities. However, it will be uncertain which of our new products will pass the applicable tests and get clinical approval without difficulty because the uncertainty of test results and clinical approvals, which relates only to our new products. Over the last three years, the price of the main raw material we use - sanchi - has stabilized and is declining slightly. We will benefit from this trend if it continues.
Recent Events
On June 19, 2007, we sold 460,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.50 per share in an initial public offering for gross proceeds of $1,610,000. We received an aggregate of $1,094,381 of net proceeds, after deducting underwriter’s fees and other expenses of $515,619 incurred in connection with the sale. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, we issued a warrant to the underwriter for services performed to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.20 per share which expires on June 14, 2012. The proceeds were allocated to the warrant based upon its fair value of $206,268, and the remaining proceeds were allocated to the shares of common stock. The warrant holder has unlimited piggyback registration rights, as well as the ability to request, at our expense a single registration of the shares underlying the warrant.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies that impact the financial statements, some of which are based on management’s best estimates available at the time of preparation. Actual experience may differ from these estimates.
Basis of Presentation and Translating Financial Statements - The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The functional currency of the operating subsidiaries in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”); however, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States Dollars (“USD”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. The consolidated statements of operations have been translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the operating periods of each statement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained in bank deposit accounts. We have not experienced any losses with respect to these deposits. Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits, money market accounts, and short-term certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less. In connection with opening Bankers' Acceptance Bill, we have restricted cash in the amount of $118,687. No amount has been recorded on our accounting records as the outcome is uncertain. We did not enter into any hedge contracts during any of the periods presented.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Trade accounts receivable and employee advances are carried at original invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2007 for trade accounts receivable and employee advances was $2,256,761 and $1,438,998, respectively; and at December 31, 2006, was $794,468 and $1,429,426, respectively.
Advances to Suppliers and Advances from Customers - As is customary in the PRC, we will often make advanced payments to suppliers for materials, which may include provisions that set the purchase price and delivery date of raw materials, or receive advance payments from customers.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated to give effect to potentially issuable dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2007 are comprised of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.20. There were no potentially dilutive shares at June 30, 2006.
Comprehensive Income - Other comprehensive income presented in the consolidated financial statements consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Sale of products: Sale of products for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $6.36 million, an increase of approximately $2.18 million, or 52 %, from $4.18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in sale of products was primarily due to the increase in the sales price of our products. Additionally, we have further developed our distribution network over a majority of the 29 provinces or regions in China.
Cost of products sold: Our costs of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $1.58 million, a slight increase of approximately $0.03 million, or 1.96%, from approximately $1.55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Though the sale of products increased 52% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the sale of products for the three months ended June 30, 2006, the volume of sales and unit cost did not increase significantly, thereby resulting in only a slight increase in cost of products sold.
Gross profit: Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $4.78 million as compared with approximately $2.63 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 75% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 12 % from approximately 63% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in gross margin was due to the increase in the sales prices of our products.
Selling expense: Selling expenses were approximately $2.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.27 million, or 166.1%, from approximately $0.76 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expense increased by 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the increase was the higher commissions paid to sales representatives and sales offices in an effort to stimulate the sales market. Additional selling expenses were also incurred in connection with the marketing and advertising of new products, particularly in our cosmetics line.
General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.04 million, or 300.72%, from approximately $0.35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts due to the increase of trade receivables for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Moreover, in June 2007, we sold 460,000 shares of our common stock in an initial public offering and incurred certain consulting service fees in connection therewith.
Research and development expense: Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,472 as compared to $40,646 for the period ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the staggered fulfillment of research and development in recent years. In keeping with plans made in previous years, we plan to enhance new product development over the next three years in order to promote sustainable growth.
Net other expense: Net other expense, which includes interest income, non-operating income, interest expense and non-operating expenses, was $126,868 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $143,583 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net other expenses was primarily due to a subsidy provided by the Chinese government to support our development, partially offset by a slight increase to the interest expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Net income: Net income increased to $1.32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $1.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Considering the foreign currency translation adjustments of $189,062 and $15,425, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, comprehensive income of $1.51 million or $1.03 million was realized for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Sale of products: Sale of products for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $10.68 million, an increase of approximately $2.03 million, or 23.45 %, from approximately $8.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales prices of our products. Additionally, we have further developed our distribution network over a majority of the 29 provinces or regions in China.
Cost of products sold: Our costs of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $2.72 million, a decrease of approximately $0.44 million, or 13.95%, from approximately $3.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Though the sale of products increased 23.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the sale of products for the six months ended June 30, 2006, there was a decrease in the unit price of certain raw materials that are used in our major products resulting from changes in medicine pricing policy in China, which resulted in a decrease for cost of products sold. In addition, there was a slight decrease in volume of sales during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2006.
Gross profit: Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $7.96 million as compared with approximately $5.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 75% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 12 % from 63% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase for revenue which resulted from an increase in sales price and a decrease in cost of products.
Selling expense: Selling expenses were approximately $3.63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.91 million, or 111.9%, from approximately $1.72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expense increased by 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the increase was the higher commissions paid to sales representatives and sales offices in an effort to stimulate the sales market. Additional selling expenses were also incurred in connection with the marketing and advertising of new products, particularly in our cosmetics line.
General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses were $2.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.33 million, or 128.96%, from approximately $1.03 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense increased by approximately 13% from 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts attributable to the increase in trade receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Moreover, in June 2007, we sold 460,000 shares of our common stock in an initial public offering and incurred certain consulting service fees in connection therewith.
Research and development expense: Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $5,349 as compared to $45,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the staggered fulfillment of research and development in recent years. In keeping with plans made in previous years, we plan to enhance new product development over the next three years in order to promote sustainable growth.
Net other expense: Net other expense, which includes interest income, non-operating income, interest expense and non-operating expenses, was approximately $299,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $301,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The slight decrease in net other expense was primarily due to a subsidy provided by the Chinese government to support the Company’s development, partially offset by a slight increase to the interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Benefits from (Provision for) income taxes: Benefits from income taxes was approximately $1.31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a provision for income tax of approximately $0.44 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. On March 15, 2007, one of our major subsidiaries, Shenghuo Medicine Co., Ltd., was granted an approval of their application by the PRC government for relief of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. As a result, Shenghuo Medicine Co., Ltd. recognized an aggregate of $1,099,401 in income taxes that are no longer payable as of March 15, 2007. The amount has been recognized under the caption “Benefit from (provision for) income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Net income: Net income increased to $2.79 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $1.85 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Considering the foreign currency translation adjustments of $274,797 and $29,193, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, comprehensive income of $3.07 million or $1.88 million was realized for the six-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General - As of June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,878,092. We have historically financed our business operations through bank loans, mostly prior to August 2006. As of June 30, 2007, we had borrowed from banks and other institutions and had amounts of approximately $9.2 million in short-term notes payable. As of June 30, 2007, we had also borrowed $2.6 million in our current portion of long-term debt. For the six months ending June 30, 2007, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $1,813,346. The gross proceeds that the we received in June 2007 as a result of the sale of 460,000 shares of our common stock in an initial public offering was offset primarily by increases in receivables from related parties, accounts receivable and employee advances. As a result, we had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
The following table provides summary information about net cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,457,601, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $859,533 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash used was primarily due to three factors. First, there was an increase in accounts receivable due to a relatively long collection period typical of the pharmaceutical industry in China. Second, we made payment on a large tax amount due. Third, there was an increase in cash flows related to inventory and employee advances, which were partially offset by the increases related to accrued expenses and deposits, and accounts payable during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $207,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to net cash provided of $8,693 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in net cash used was primarily a result of an increase in cash flow related to payables to related parties, although the restricted cash decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $798,667 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $375,507 provided for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash provided was primarily due to our sale of stock in an initial public offering in June 2007 pursuant to which we sold 460,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.50 per share in an initial public offering for gross proceeds of $1,610,000. We received an aggregate of $1,094,381 of net proceeds, after deducting underwriter’s fees and other expenses of $515,619 incurred in connection with the sale.
As of June 30, 2007, our accounts receivable (less allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.26 million) were $13.32 million, an increase of $3.42 million, or 34% over accounts receivable of $9.9 million as of December 31, 2006. The collection period typically runs from six months to one year, considering the relatively long collection period in our industry. Our company normally requires one to two months to receive products that we order. Inventory has slightly increased by $901,972 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Moreover, our payment cycle is considerably shorter than our receivable cycle, since we typically pay our suppliers all or a portion of the purchase price in advance and for some suppliers we must maintain a deposit for future orders. We require our customers to pay a certain percentage of the sales price as deposit before we ship products to them. The percentage varies from customer to customer. During the course of business, we reduce the deposit requirement for some customers with good credit. To the extent that we cannot satisfy our cash needs, whether from operations or from a financing source, our business would be impaired in that it may be difficult for us to obtain products which could, in turn, impair our ability to generate sales. We have implemented new policies aimed at improving collection of accounts receivable in the future, including more detailed reporting from and increased control over provincial sales offices and representatives, incentives for sales representatives more closely tied to timely collection, and more stringent enforcement of payment terms with distributors.
Employee advances were approximately $4.71 million and $3.13 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the fact that we loaned more money to our sales representatives to encourage them to expand their markets and increase sales.
In addition, in the course of our business, we must make significant deposits to our suppliers when we place an order. As of June 30, 2007, our advance payments to our suppliers totaled approximately $262,692. We are confident that our available funds and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient capital for a sustainable operation; however, we may require additional capital for acquisitions or for the operation of the combined companies. As of June 30, 2007, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Foreign Currency Risk
Since all of our operations are conducted in the PRC, we are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our operational results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to medical reforms and other laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from its operations in the PRC. In addition, all of our revenue is denominated in the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of the PRC. Both the conversion of CNY into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government. The effect of the fluctuations of exchange rates is not considered to be material to our business operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We do not have significant interest rate risk, as our debt obligations are primarily fixed interest rates.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this quarterly report, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this quarterly report, includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our company’s and our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the following:
| · | our reliance on one product for over 80% of our revenues; |
| · | our reliance on one supplier for Sanchi, a scarce plant that is the primary ingredient in almost all of our products; |
| · | our ability to develop and market new products; |
| · | our ability to establish and maintain a strong brand; |
| · | continued maintenance of certificates, permits and licenses required to conduct business in China; |
| · | protection of our intellectual property rights; |
| · | market acceptance of our products; |
| · | changes in the laws of the PRC that affect our operations; |
| · | any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian flu; |
| · | our ability to obtain all necessary government certifications and/or licenses to conduct our business; |
| · | development of a public trading market for our securities; |
| · | cost of complying with current and future governmental regulations and the impact of any changes in the regulations on our operations; and |
| · | other factors referenced in this quarterly report, including, without limitation, under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” |
The risks included above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this quarterly report may include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and operating results. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and we cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this quarterly report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
You should read this quarterly report, and the documents that we reference in this quarterly report and have filed as exhibits to this quarterly report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may materially differ from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 other than the addition of the following risk factor:
If we make equity compensation grants to persons who are PRC citizens, they may be required to register with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC, or SAFE. We may also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional equity compensation plans for our directors and employees and other parties under PRC law.
On April 6, 2007, SAFE issued the “Operating Procedures for Administration of Domestic Individuals Participating in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan or Stock Option Plan of An Overseas Listed Company, Hui Zong Fa [2007] No. 78,” or “Circular 78.” It is not clear whether Circular 78 covers all forms of equity compensation plans or only those which provide for the granting of stock options. For any plans which are so covered and are adopted by a non-PRC listed company such as our company after April 6, 2007, Circular 78 requires all participants who are PRC citizens to register with and obtain approvals from SAFE prior to their participation in the plan. In addition, Circular 78 also requires PRC citizens to register with SAFE and make the necessary applications and filings if they participated in an overseas listed company’s covered equity compensation plan prior to April 6, 2007. We believe that the registration and approval requirements contemplated in Circular 78 will be burdensome and time consuming.
In the near future, we intend to adopt an equity compensation plan and make stock option grants under the incentive plan to our officers and directors, some of whom are PRC citizens. As a result, these optionees may be required to register with SAFE. In addition to our officers and directors that receive option grants, future participants of our equity incentive plan or any other equity compensation plan we may adopt who are PRC citizens may be required to register with SAFE. Circular 78 has not yet been made publicly available nor formally promulgated by SAFE, however, it is our understanding that SAFE has begun enforcing its provisions, although we cannot predict whether it will continue to enforce it or adopt additional or different requirements with respect to equity compensation plans. If it is determined that any of our equity compensation plans is subject to Circular 78, failure to comply with such provisions may subject us and participants of our equity incentive plan who are PRC citizens to fines and legal sanctions and prevent us from being able to grant equity compensation to our PRC employees. In that case, our business operations may be adversely affected.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of June 30, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedure as of June 30, 2007 had significant deficiencies that caused our controls and procedures to be ineffective. These deficiencies consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. In addition, there are deficiencies in the recording and classification of accounting transactions and a lack of personnel with expertise in US generally accepted accounting principles and US Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.
We are in the process of improving our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through improving supervision, education, and training of our accounting staff. Management may also seeks additional qualified in house or third-party accounting personnel to ensure that management will have adequate resources in order to attain complete reporting of financial information disclosures in a timely matter. We believe that the remedial steps that we take will address the conditions identified by our CEO as significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures. Additional effort is needed to fully remedy these deficiencies and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. Our CEO believes that there are no material inaccuracies, or omissions of material facts necessary to make the statements not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, in this Form 10-QSB.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2003, we were sued by a former employee for allegedly violating his contract and the courts entered a judgment in favor of the employee in 2003 for $128,978, which included litigation costs. We accrued the liability for this loss at December 31, 2003 and paid the amount of the judgment to the employee on April 27, 2004. In 2006, the plaintiff asked the court to have us pay a penalty in the amount of $100,000 for not paying the judgment in a timely manner. During the court’s review of the request for the penalty, the court froze a bank account of ours that held $105,284. The court has rejected the employee’s claim and the bank account has been unfrozen. The employee has now asserted claims against us for allegedly ruining the employee’s reputation and causing mental anguish. No amount has been recorded on our books in connection with this claim as we believe that no information suggests that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss as a result of this litigation cannot yet be reasonably estimated.
