PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are a vertically integrated bio-pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative drugs in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or PRC”).
We, a Delaware corporation, were originally organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of New York on August 6, 1976 under the name of Globuscope, Inc. On August 7, 1984, its name was changed to Globus Growth Group, Inc., which was its name until it was merged into China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (CBH), its wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware on August 28, 2004 through an internal re-organizational merger. Effective August 28, 2004, CBH completed the acquisition of China Biopharmaceuticals Corp. ("CBC"), a British Virgin Islands corporation as the parent, the management company and holder of 90% of the ownership interest in its then only operating subsidiary and asset, Nanjing Keyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd., doing business in English a.k.a. Nanjing Chemsource Pharmaceutical R&D Co. Ltd, ("Keyuan" or "Chemsource"), a company established in China and engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative drugs and related bio-pharmaceutical products in China. Nanjing Keyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd. was established in March 2000 in Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province, China. It was founded and spear-headed by graduates from China Pharmaceutical University to engage in new drug research and discovery and in the development of new drug screening technologies.
On February 27, 1986, the stockholders of our company approved the divestiture and sale of those assets of our company as pertained to its then camera manufacturing and photography operations as well as the sale of certain shares of stock in a photographic related company owned by it and its interest in the Company's then owned premises. The sale was consummated as of February 28, 1986. After such divestiture, the Company's activities consisted of the holding of interests in various companies and the seeking out of acquisition and joint-venture opportunities in various fields of business endeavor. On May 27 1988, the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notification of election to be treated as a "Business Development Company" ("BDC") as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The decision to become a BDC was made primarily to better reflect the Company's anticipated future business and development relationships. A BDC is an investment company designed to assist eligible portfolio companies with capital formation. As a result of the reorganization the acquisition of CBC pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, our company is no longer a BDC and is now an operating company.
On August 4, 2004, our company filed Definitive Information Statement ("Information Statement") pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notifying its shareholders the execution and pending implementation of an Agreement and Plan of Merger was signed by and between Globus Growth Group, Inc., a New York corporation ("Globus") and the predecessor of our company and its wholly owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware under the name of China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.("CBH") The Agreement and Plan of Merger Agreement provided for a tax-free reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, according to which Globus, Inc. merged with and into our company, ceasing its corporate existence and having the Company as the surviving corporation of the merger (the "Merger"). In the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Globus have been converted into shares of common stock of the Company. On August 28, 2004, the internal reorganizational Merger was completed with Globus merging into the Company as the surviving entity.
Pursuant to a share exchange agreement ("Exchange Agreement") between the Company, CBC, Keyuan, and MAO Peng as the sole shareholder of CBC, our company received all of the issued and outstanding common stock of CBC in exchange for 20,842,779 shares of restricted (as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) common stock of our company, par value $0.01 per share, representing approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common capital stock of our company following the time of the issuance. As of March 31, 2006, there were 36,848,399 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and 335 holders of record.
On September 29, 2004, we signed a purchase agreement which was amended on December 31, 2004 to acquire approximately 75.8% ownership interest of Suzhou Hengyi Pharmaceuticals of Feedstock Co., Ltd ("Hengyi"), a Chinese company established in Suzhou, China for 1,200,000 of common shares and additional $1,600,000 as additional contribution into the acquired Hengyi for working capital and/or expansion purposes. The cash contribution is to be made in installments.
On June 11, 2005, we signed a purchase agreement, which was amended on August 3, 2005 under which, we acquired controlling ownership interest (approximately 51%) in Suzhou Erye Pharmaceutical Limited Company ("Erye"), a company established in Suzhou, China. Total consideration paid by us to acquire 51% ownership interest in Erye is $3,000,000 cash to be paid in installments, and 3,300,000 of common shares valued at $0.50 per share or $1,650,000. Out of the $3,000,000 to be paid in cash, $2,200,000 will be contributed to the acquired Erye for working capital and/or expansion purposes.
On December 31, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary, CBC, entered into an Agreement with four shareholders of Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Limited Company, a pharmaceutical company located in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China ("Tianyin") to immediately assume operation control of Tianyin in all aspects of its business operations and to acquire a 51% ownership interest in Tianyin. Pursuant to the Agreement, subject to certain conditions, we agreed to issue 3 million shares of its common stock to existing shareholders of Tianyin or their designees and also agreed to invest an amount of US$2 million into Tianyin operations. Additional 300,000 shares of our common stock will be issued to the existing shareholders of Tianyin or their designees, if Tianyin's after tax audited profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 reaches at least US$3,000,000. Our auditors are currently engaged to audit the financial statements of Tianyin. The pro forma unaudited balance sheet and statement of income of Tianyin disclosed a net assets of $231,000 in 2005 and net assets of $2,727,000 in negative in 2004. Tianyin’s net income was $469,000 in 2005 and net loss of $539,000 in 2004. We are currently evaluating the viability of the implementation of the Tianyin purchase agreement and will make final determination after consulting with management of Tianyin. Based on the pre-conditions in the purchase Agreement, the Board of the Company held a meeting to discuss the possibility of abandoning the acquisition of Tianyin should Tianyin’s shareholders not compromise and meet the company’s request for a reasonable purchased price.
The shares of our common stock are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC Bulletin Board") under the symbol CHBP.OB.
Although to date we have been successful in developing our business and products, we face many challenges typically faced by a growing company, including limited access to capital, competition, research and development risks, among many other risks. Our inability to overcome these risks could have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and prospects. Investments in our company may also be materially and adversely affected by the fluctuation of the Renminbi.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Our business is composed of three parts: Research & Development, Raw Materials and Manufacturing.
Research & Development
We through our indirectly held subsidiary Keyuan, have a robust research and development (“R&D”) team focused on discovering new small and large molecule drugs as well as developing generic and improved drugs based on existing products already on the market and traditional Chinese medicine products. Keyuan has developed a solid discovery and development platform with advanced R&D capabilities based on post genome era technological advances to enable rapid drug discovery and development. Keyuan also has a rich existing product pipeline. The technological backbone of the Keyuan advanced R&D capabilities is a Drug Screening and Testing System--an advanced drug screening and testing system based on certain bio-technologies that have only recently been made possible by rapid technological advances in the Post-Genomics Era. This proprietary gene-level technology platform enables Keyuan to deliver the next generation of drugs--which are more effective and have fewer side effects in a much shorter period than by traditional pharmaceutical developmental routes. The technology team is lead by capable drug research scientists and development experts in China. Keyuan has a product pipeline containing approximately forty major products, including eight drugs that are ready for commercialization in China. Keyuan also offers contractual research and development products by licensing the access to its proprietary screening and testing platforms to other pharmaceutical companies. Keyuan has built a Library of Targeted Drug Candidates (“LTDC”) with 20,000 chemical compounds. Drug candidates undergo screening to reveal their potential to become new drugs. Keyuan collaborates with China Pharmaceutical University in enhancing the resources of chemical compounds in the LTDC. Keyuan has built its LTDC to both accelerate its own drug discovery and to generate revenue in the form of access fees paid by other pharmaceutical companies.
We spent $427,999 in year 2004 and $1,470,055 in 2005 on our research and development.
Raw Materials
Our subsidiary Hengyi specializes in research and development, production and sales of chemicals and intermediaries used in pharmaceutical products as well as pharmaceutical products. Hengyi has extensive product pipeline containing twenty six major products that are raw material and intermediaries for making pharmaceutical products. More than 90% of Hengyi's products are exported to North America, South America and European countries with large, multi national pharmaceutical companies as end user customers. Hengyi can manufacture and provide most of the raw materials for when the Company starts commercializing its new drugs, enabling the Company to lower its production cost and gain competitive advantages over its competitors.
Manufacturing
Our subsidiary, Erye, specializes in research and development, production and sales of pharmaceutical products as well as chemicals used in pharmaceutical products. The acquisition of 51% of the ownership interest of Erye, adds new drug products to our pipeline, manufacturing capabilities that comply with China Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standard set by the State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") of China and marketing network that covers 25 provinces in China. Erye h as obtained production certificates for 68 drug items, among which 33 are in production, mainly antibiotics drugs such as Cefotaxime Sodium for injection, Ceftriaxone Sodium for injection, Amoxicillin for injection, and Compound Amoxicillin for injection. Erye’s sales exceeded $20 million in 2004, with raw material Acetylspiramycin per oral taking 15% of domestic market share, and Cloxacillin Sodium taking 80% of domestic market share.
ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY
We have a diversified portfolio of drugs and robust drug screening and testing platforms. We concentrate on the development of drugs for treatment of common diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, infectious diseases and diabetes, etc.
Our products can be divided into three categories; new drugs through R&D, drug materials & intermediates and commercialized drugs:
New drug:

We invest in LTDC to both accelerate our own drug research and discovery as well as to generate revenue in the form of access fees paid by other pharmaceutical companies. .
OUR CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
We have three groups of customers:
Pharmaceutical Companies- We maintain a fine reputation in the pharmaceutical industry in China for new drug R & D. We work with other pharmaceutical companies to license or jointly distribute our products.
Drug Distribution Companies- There are approximately 10,000 drugs distribution companies in China. We work with various distribution companies to distribute our products. The demand for new drugs in China is substantial as the drug distribution companies suffer from very low profit margins from the distribution of old generic drugs.
Hospitals- We have a network of connections with hospitals in the areas of Shanghai, Zhejiang province and Jiangsu province. The population in these areas is approximately 150 million. Our sales executives have held senior sales positions in various pharmaceutical companies that sell in these areas and have an extensive network of contacts that provide direct access to hospitals in these areas.
We currently have 4 sales representative offices in China, two of which located in Nanjing city, one in Wuxi City and one in Shanghai City.

It can also prevent the operation mistake and reduce pollution.
COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
Vertically integrated pharmaceutical operation is still at an early stage of development in China due to heavy state involvement in the past. The industry is fragmented. We face competition from domestic drug R&D companies, drug manufacturing companies which are growing rapidly. Our direct competitors are domestic pharmaceutical companies and new drug R&D institutes that have fairly strong R&D capabilities in new drug R&D such as Beijing Venture Biopharma Technology Co., Ltd., Fosun Group Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Co. Ltd. We also face competition of foreign companies who have strong proprietary pipeline and strong financial resources. Our advantage is our local concentration in research and discovery as well as our local distribution network. We possess certain competitive advantages over our competitors due to our own discovery capability. Our relationship with China Pharmaceutical University, one of the leading pharmaceutical scientific research institution in China, provides us with a unique opportunity to benefit from the latest discovery in its research laboratory and reduce our fundamental research cost so that we can concentrate more on application and commercialization. We are in a competitive position to seize substantial market opportunities as the pharmaceutical industry in China rapidly moves toward consolidation, privatization, and commercialization.
Good Product Pipeline
Our subsidiary Keyuan has an existing pipeline of approximately forty new drugs we intend to introduce to the Chinese market. The drugs are superior to existing comparable drugs with reduced toxicity, enhanced effectiveness and cheaper manufacturing costs due to technological innovation. Among the forty drugs in our pipeline, our company intends to commercialize three SFDA approved and licensed drugs through our subsidiaries in year 2006 and to have five in-application drugs to be approved by SFDA in year 2006.
R&D Capabilities and Technology
We have managed to obtain intellectual property rights for our advanced technologies and to gain a strong competitive edge over the vast majority of all domestic pharmaceutical companies. Our R&D capabilities are one of the most advanced in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. Our advanced R&D technology platform represents the latest drug discovery and development tools available for screening potential drug candidates for new drugs. Additionally, through our joint venture with the University’s R & D laboratory, we have access to China’s most promising pharmaceutical development projects and to the nation’s top-level expertise from academia, government, and industry.
Strong Experience in Dealing with Approval Authorities
Several of our leading management team members used to work with SFDA in various high level drug approval and screening positions. Our research and discovery is keyed to the SFDA requirements and we are familiar with the criteria used and standards expected. This gives us competitive advantage in government approvals and licenses as well as revenues from participation in selected government projects and grants.
Examination and Appraisement Committee for Small Molecule Drugs.
In August, 2004, we signed an agreement with China Pharmaceutical University to establish a joint laboratory for potential drug candidates (effective chemical compounds and effective single ingredient extract from traditional Chinese medicinal herds) screening and new drugs research and development.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
An asset base of intellectual property is the foundation of our operations and R&D facilities. We have the capacity to rapidly generate intellectual property in the many forms as described above: New drugs / full product pipeline, Drug screening & testing platforms, Proprietary technologies, and Library of Targeted Drug Candidates (LTDC). This asset base of valuable intellectual property is leveraged to derive revenues, form strategic partnerships, and make acquisitions to expand our operations and profit-earning capacity.
Our subsidiary, Keyuan, owns the following patents, one of which approved and two pending approval:
(1) Low dose Diclofenac Sodium Lozenges and preparation. (Indication: oral ulcer, stomatitis, small oral operation); Patent Application number: 011360828; Application date: Oct.8, 2001; Approval date: Jan.15, 2005; Patent Number: CN1413583A; Patent Expiration date: Oct 7, 2021.

(3) Preparation of a platinum(II) compound Yibo, anticancer drug Application number: 2004100147727; Application date: Apr.28, 2004; Patent Expiration date: April 27, 2024
The typical duration of these patents is twenty years from the date of application. Other drugs of Keyuan are subject to pending or existing SFDA administrative protection.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Our principal sales market is presently in China. We are subject to the Drug Administration Law of China, which governs the licensing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products in China and sets penalties for violations of the law. Additionally, we are also subject to various regulations and permit systems by the Chinese government.
The application and approval procedure in China for a newly developed drug product is described below. New drug applicants prepare the documentation of pharmacological study, toxicity study and pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism (PKDM) study and new drug samples. Documentation and samples are then submitted to provincial food and drug administration ("provincial FDA"). The provincial FDA sends its officials to the applicant to check the applicant's R&D facilities and to arrange new drug examination committee meeting for approval deliberations. This process usually takes three months. After the documentation and samples being approved by the provincial FDA, the provincial FDA will submit the approved documentation and samples to SFDA. SFDA examines the documentation and tests the samples and arranges new drug examination committee meeting for approval deliberations. If the application is approved by SFDA, SFDA will issue a clinical trial license to the applicant for clinical trials. The clinical trial license approval typically takes one year. The applicant completes the clinical trial process and prepares documentation and files submitted to SFDA for new drug approval. The clinical trial process usually takes one year or two depending on the category and class of the new drug. SFDA examines the documentation and gives final approval for the new drug and issues the new drug license to the applicant. This process usually takes 8 months. The whole process for new drug approval usually takes three to four years.
The Government approval procedure in China for application for new patents is as follows. The applicant prepares documentation and sends application to State Intellectual Property Office of China ("SIPO"), usually through patent application agencies. The application is then examined by SIPO. If the application is approved, SIPO issues and releases patent illustration book for challenges by competing claimants. Once the illustration book issued, the patent is protected. Within a three year period depending on different categories of the patent, if there are no challenges against the patent, then SIPO will issue patent license to the applicant .
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
We comply with the Environmental Protection Law of China and its local regulations. In addition to statutory and regulatory compliance, we actively ensure the environmental sustainability of our operations.
EMPLOYEES
Due to the acquisitions, the number of our employees has expanded significantly as compared to 2004. Currently we have approximately 790 full-time employees, excluding the employees of Tianyin, with all employees falling into the following categories:

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, together with all other information in this annual report on form 10KSB before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently foreseeable to us may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
CHINA RELATED RISKS
Our assets are located in China and its revenues are derived from its operations in China
In terms of industry regulations and policies, the economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of State-owned Land Use Rights. The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting and it could be lengthy and complex. This process may adversely affect our company’s future manufacturing expansions. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. At present, our company’s development of research and development technologies and products is subject to approvals from the relevant government authorities in China. Such governmental approval processes are typically lengthy and complex, and never certain to be obtained.
Political and economic risks
China is a developing country with a young market economic system overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are still in the stage of change. China also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationship with other countries, including but not limited to the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and adversely affect our performance.
Risks related to interpretation of China laws and regulations which involves significant uncertainties
China’s legal system is based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited value as precedents. Since 1979, the Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretation and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. In addition, as the Chinese legal system develops, we cannot assure that changes in such laws and regulations, and their interpretation or their enforcement will not have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL RISKS
Currency conversion and exchange rate volatility could adversely affect our financial condition.
The PRC government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People’s Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market conditions.
Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC.
Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is still subject to certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current account items.
Enterprises in PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by providing valid receipts and proofs.
Convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions, and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be sought.
We are a FIE to which the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations are applicable. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements in the future.
Since 1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollars has remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately RMB8.28 to US$1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar. As our operations are primarily in China, any significant revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert United States dollars into Chinese Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of this currency against the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert Chinese Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes and the United States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar equivalent of the Chinese Renminbi we convert would be reduced.
REGULATORY RISKS
Governmental regulatory and policy risks
We must follow various government regulations and in particular, the PRC State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) regulations. Government regulations may have material impact on our operations, increase costs and could prevent or delay our company in licensing, manufacturing and selling our products. Our research, development, testing, manufacturing and marketing activities are subject to various governmental regulations in China, including health and drug regulations. Government regulations, among other things, cover the inspection of and controls over testing, manufacturing, safety and environmental considerations, efficacy, labeling, advertising, promotion, record keeping and sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products. We will not be able to license, manufacture, sell and distribute the vast majority of its products without a proper approval from government agencies and in particular the SFDA. There is no assurance that we will obtain such approvals.
In addition, delays or rejections may be encountered based upon additional government regulation from future legislation, administrative action or changes in governmental policy and interpretation during the period of product development and product assessment. Although we have, so far, obtained the marketing rights for selling some of our products in China, we may not continue to receive and maintain regulatory approvals for the sales of these products. Our marketing activities are also subject to government regulations with respect to the prices that we intend to charge or any other marketing and promotional related activities. Government regulations may substantially increase our costs for developing, licensing, manufacturing and selling products, impacting negatively on our operation, revenue, income and cash flow.
There could be changes in government regulations towards the pharmaceutical Industries that may adversely affect our business.
The manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products in the PRC is heavily regulated by many state, provincial and local authorities. These regulations significantly increased the difficulty and costs involved in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for marketing new and existing products. Our future growth and profitability depend to a large extent on our ability to obtain regulatory approvals.
The State Food and Drug Administration of China recently implemented new guidelines for licensing of pharmaceutical products. All existing manufacturers with licenses, which are currently valid under the previous guidelines, are required to apply for the Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") certifications by June 30, 2004, and to receive approvals by December 31,2004. We have received our certifications. However, should we fail to receive or maintain the GMP certifications under the new guidelines in the future, our businesses would be materially and adversely affected.
Moreover, the laws and regulations regarding acquisitions of the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC may also change and may significantly impact our ability to grow through acquisitions.
COMPANY’S RELATED RISKS
Risks related to our strategy and risks related to our inability to carry out such strategy
Our strategy may be based on wrong assumptions and may be seriously flawed and may even in fact damage our performance, competitive position in the market and even our ability to survive in the market place. Even if the strategy is correct, we may never be able to successfully implement our strategy or implement the strategy in the desired fashion. These risk factors may cause major risks to our performance and even survival.
Risks related to the implementation of our operational and marketing plan
Our operational plan and marketing plan may be seriously flawed and even in fact damage our performance, competitive position in the market and even our ability to survive in the market place. Even if the operational plan and the marketing plan are correct, we may never be able to successfully implement the plans or implement the strategy in the desired fashion. These risk factors may cause major risks to our performance and even survival.
Risks related to our products and services
Our products and services involve direct or indirect impact on human health and life. The drugs, products and services provided may be flawed and cause dangerous side effects and even fatality in certain cases and lead to major business losses and legal and other liabilities and damages to us.
Risks related to product liability claims
We face the risk of loss resulting from, and adverse publicity associated with, product liability lawsuits, whether or not such claims are valid. We may not be able to avoid such claims. In addition, our product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover such claims and we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage in the future at acceptable costs. A successful product liability claim that exceeds our policy limits could require us to pay substantial sums.
Risks related to our technology and our platforms
Our technologies and platforms may be seriously defective and flawed producing wrong and harmful results, exposing us to significant liabilities. Even if they are not defective or flawed, these technologies and platforms may become outdated, losing their value and thus affect our competitive advantages.
Risks related to competition
We compete with other companies, many of whom are developing or can be expected to develop products similar to ours. Our market is a large market with many competitors. Many of our competitors are more established than we are, and have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we presently possess. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and a larger customer base. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business
Marketing risks
Newly developed drugs and technologies may not be compatible with market needs. Because markets for drugs differentiate geographically inside China, we must develop and manufacture our products to accurately target specific markets to ensure product sales. If we fail to invest in extensive market research to understand the health needs of consumers in different geographic areas, we may face limited market acceptance of our products, which could have material adverse effect on our sales and earning.
Risks related to research and the ability to develop new drugs
Our growth and survival depends on our ability to consistently discover, develop and commercialize new products and find new and improve on existing technologies and platforms. As such, if we fail to make sufficient investments in research, be attentive to consumer needs or do not focus on the most advanced technologies, our current and future products could be surpassed by more effective or advanced products of other companies.
Risks relating to difficulty in defending intellectual property rights from infringement
Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to protect our current and future technologies and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property adequately, competitors may manufacture and market products similar to ours. Numerous patents covering our technologies have been issued to us, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file, patent applications seeking to protect newly developed technologies and products in various countries, including China. Some patent applications in China are maintained in secrecy until the patent is issued. Because the publication of discoveries tends to follow their actual discovery by many months, we may not be the first to invent, or file patent applications on any of our discoveries. Patents may not be issued with respect to any of our patent applications and existing or future patents issued to or licensed by us may not provide competitive advantages for our products. Patents that are issued may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. Furthermore, our patent rights may not prevent our competitors from developing, using or commercializing products that are similar or functionally equivalent to our products.
We also rely on trade secrets, non-patented proprietary expertise and continuing technological innovation that we seek to protect, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees and consultants. These agreements may be breached and there may not be adequate remedies in the event of a breach. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements. Moreover, our trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors. If patents are not issued with respect to products arising from research, we may not be able to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to these products.
Risks relating to third parties that may claim that we infringe on their proprietary rights and may prevent us from manufacturing and selling certain of our products
There has been substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical industry with respect to the manufacturing, use and sale of new products. These lawsuits relate to the validity and infringement of patents or proprietary rights of third parties. We may be required to commence or defend against charges relating to the infringement of patent or proprietary rights. Any such litigation could:
o require us to incur substantial expense, even if we are insured or successful in the litigation;
o require us to divert significant time and effort of our technical and management personnel;
o result in the loss of our rights to develop or make certain products; and
o require us to pay substantial monetary damages or royalties in order to license proprietary rights from third parties.
Although patent and intellectual property disputes within the pharmaceutical industry have often been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with these arrangements may be substantial and could include the long-term payment of royalties. These arrangements may be investigated by regulatory agencies and, if improper, may be invalidated. Furthermore, the required licenses may not be made available to us on acceptable terms. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or a failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products or increase our costs to market these products.
In addition, when seeking regulatory approval for some of our products, we are required to certify to regulatory authorities, including the SFDA, that such products do not infringe upon third party patent rights. Filing a certification against a patent gives the patent holder the right to bring a patent infringement lawsuit against us. Any lawsuit would delay regulatory approval by the SFDA. A claim of infringement and the resulting delay could result in substantial expenses and even prevent us from manufacturing and selling certain of our products.
Our launch of a product prior to a final court decision or the expiration of a patent held by a third party may result in substantial damages to us. Depending upon the circumstances, a court may award the patent holder damages equal to three times their loss of income. If we are found to infringe a patent held by a third party and become subject to such treble damages, these damages could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial condition.
Risks related to acquisitions
A major part of our strategy involves acquisitions of other companies and products and technologies. We may not be able to complete successfully such acquisitions due to the lack of capital and other factors. Even if we can complete such acquisitions, we may not be able to absorb and integrate the acquired operation and assets successfully into our currently operation. We may even make wrong acquisitions.
Risks related to financial reports and estimates
Our company is subject to critical accounting policies and actual results may vary from our estimates. Our company follows generally accepted accounting principles for the United States in preparing its financial statements. As part of this work, we must make many estimates and judgments concerning future events. These affect the value of the assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses reported in our financial statements. We believe that these estimates and judgments are reasonable, and we make them in accordance with our accounting policies based on information available at the time. However, actual results could differ from our estimates, and this could require us to record adjustments to expenses or revenues that could be material to our financial position and results of operations in the future.
Risks related to significant financing needs
We need significant amount of capital to invest in our research and development, in our acquisitions and in our operations. We may not be able to identify and raise sufficient capital in a timely manner to finance our research and development activity, operation, acquisitions, growth and even survival. Even if such financings are available, they may not be timely or sufficient or on the terms desirable, acceptable or not harmful to our existing shareholders.
Risks related to growth and the ability to manage growth
For our company to survive and to succeed, we have to consistently grow. However, the management and we may not be able to achieve or manage such growth. The inability to achieve and maintain and manage growth will significantly affect our survival and market position.
Dependence on key personnel
We depend on our key management and technological personnel. The unavailability or departure of such key personnel may seriously disrupt and harm our operations, business and the implementation of our business strategy and plans. Although most of these personnel are founders and shareholders of our company, there can be no assurance that we can be successful in retaining them.
Risks related to not declaring or paying any dividends to our shareholders
We did not declare any dividends for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our board of directors does not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
It may be difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our company and our officers and directors because they reside outside the United States.
As our operations are presently based in China and our key directors and officers reside in China, service of process on our company and our key directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, our main assets are located in China and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
Most of our assets are located in china, any dividends of proceeds from liquidation is subject to the approval of the relevant Chinese government agencies.
Our assets are predominantly located inside China. Under the laws governing foreign invested enterprises in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to both the relevant government agency's approval and supervision as well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment and liquidation.
RISKS RELATED TO COMMON STOCK
Risks of lack of liquidity and volatility risks
Currently our common stock is quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board market, the liquidity of our common stock may be very limited and affected by its limited trading market. The OTC Bulletin Board market is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges and are subject to abuses and volatilities and shorting. There is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for our common stock. An established trading market may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there.
The trading volume of our common stock may be limited and sporadic. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock and as a result, the market value of our common stock likely would decline.
Risks related to penny stocks
Our common stock may be subject to regulations prescribed by the SEC relating to “Penny Stock.” The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined in such regulations) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our common stock meets the definition of a penny stock, it will be subject to these regulations, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investor, generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 and individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (individually) or $300,000 (jointly with their spouse).
Risks of depressed price and downward pressure on the shares
A significant number of our shares are eligible for sale and their sale could depress the market price of our stock. Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market following the merger and related transactions could harm the market price of our common stock. Moreover, as additional shares of our common stock become available for resale in the public market pursuant to the registration of the sale of the shares, and otherwise, the supply of our common stock will increase, which could decrease its price. Some or all of the shares of common stock may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for the shares of common stock.
In general, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of one year may, upon filing with the SEC a notification on Form 144, sell into the market common stock in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or the average weekly number of shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated once each three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate after they have been held two years.
Existing shareholders may experience some dilution
We have issued convertible preferred stock and warrants to different investors. Conversion of these preferred stock and exercise of these warrants may cause dilution in the interests of other shareholders as a result of the additional common stock that would be issued upon conversion or exercise. In addition, sales of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of the warrants could have a depressive effect on the price of our stock, particularly if there is not a coinciding increase in demand by purchasers of our common stock..
Moreover, we may need to raise additional funds in the future to finance new developments or expand existing operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of new equity or equity-linked securities, other than on a pro rata basis to our existing shareholders, the percentage ownership of the existing shareholders may be reduced. Existing shareholders may experience subsequent dilution and/or such newly issued securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the existing shareholders
Risks related to concentration of ownership
Certain of our principal stockholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of other stockholders. Certain of our officers, directors and principal stockholders control a significant percentage of our outstanding common stock. If these stockholders act together, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. is referred to herein as "we", "our,", “us”, or “the Company”. The words or phrases "would be," "will allow," "expect to", "intends to," "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include those concerning our expected financial performance, our corporate strategy and operational plans. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, including: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions in China, including regulatory factors that may affect such economic conditions; (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, including whether our management will be able to identify, hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that management will be able to successfully manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities;(c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations; and (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash which are explained below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources. Statements made herein are as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as of any subsequent date. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statement.
OUR BUSINESS
We are a vertically integrated bio-pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative drugs in China. Our mission is to maximize investment returns for our shareholders by integrating our strong drug discovery and development strength with manufacturing and commercialization capabilities and by actively participating in the consolidation and privatization of the pharmaceutical industry in China to become a dominant player in the bio-pharmaceutical industry in China.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified the policies below as critical to understanding of our financial statements. The application of these polices requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of assets and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed below.
(1) REVENUE AND REVENUE RECOGNITION.
For fixed-price refundable contracts, we recognize revenue on a milestone basis. Progress payments received/receivables are recognized as revenue only if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer. Confirmed revenue is not refundable and continued performance of future research and development services related to the milestone are not required. For sale of patented pharmaceutical formulas, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of the patented formulas. For sales of final medicines and processed materials, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the goods. The company usually does not offer sales returns or refunds on the products except for some specific circumstances, such as quality problems, which is rare and is difficult to have an accurate estimate.
(2) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management judgment and estimates are made in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our operating results. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The reserve for bad debts increased to $525,391 at December 31, 2005 from $263,107 at December 31, 2004. This increase represents 0.85% of total revenues and is due to the increasing level of sales revenue and its corresponding exposure. At December 31, 2005, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to $4,929,659. The days sales outstanding were 64 days for 2005, compared to 152 days for 2004, we attribute the acceleration in collection of accounts receivable to our strengthened control over our sales and accounts.
The following list the aging of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005
| 3 months | 6 months | 9 months | Over 9 months | Over 1 year |
Total | Amount | % | Amount | % | Amount | % | Amount | % | Amount | % |
$5,455,050 | 3,570,531 | 65.45% | 1,141,185 | 20.88% | 109,075 | 2.04% | 326,813 | 5.99% | | 5.64% |
We prepare the above consolidated aging based on the aging for each subsidiary in above format . As each subsidiary of the Company conducts business with different customers with different size and creditworthiness, and each subsidiary has different impact on and different relationship with their customers, we determine the allowance on an individual basis. Basically, we assign various rates to each of the aging group of AR and add up the products for respective aging group to the total allowance for doubtful accounts. Different subsidiaries have different rates for even the same aging category. In addition to that, we also consider the changes in specific financial condition of their customers if situation or events indicate that some accounts may pose unusual risk compared to others, additional allowance may be provided for those accounts.
(3) INCOME TAX.
Significant judgment is required in determining our income tax provision. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made. We apply an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the deferred tax asset. In the event we determine that future taxable income will not be sufficient to utilize the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance is recorded.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
We acquired Hengyi on September 30, 2004 and the operating result for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was included in our 10KSB filed on April 15, 2005.
We acquired Erye in June 2005. The current financial statements of the Company only reflects Erye's profit from June 11, 2005 to December 31, 2005. During the reporting period, our general and administrative costs increased significantly, largely due to transaction costs related to, acquisition of Hengyi and Erye . Auditing expenses, legal expenses and other professional expenses consist of major parts of the general and administration expenses. Some of the costs are one time costs related to acquisitions. However, as we are considering additional acquisitions, transaction costs may occur over different periods in the future.

REVENUE.
Revenue for the twelve months ended on December 31, 2005 was $30,948,568, while the revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 was $3,443,545, representing approximately 798% increase. We acquired Erye on June 11, 2005. The revenue of Erye for the twelve months ended on December 31, 2005 was $22,218,113. Revenue of Keyuan, Hengyi, and Sintofarm for the twelve months ended on December 31, 2005 was $1,352,918, $5,099,583, and 2,207,954, respectively. During the reporting period revenue generated by Erye had significantly increased the Company’s total revenues.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold for the twelve months ended on December 31, 2005 was $24,758,487 as compared to $2,432,172 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales revenues was approximately 80% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to approximately 70.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, the Company acquired Erye and as a result cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was increased approximately 10û compared to 2004
GROSS PROFIT.
Gross profit in the twelve months ended on December 31, 2005 amounted at $6,190,081, as compared to $1,011,373 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, representing 512% increase. The gross profit margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was 20% as compared to approximately 29.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Erye’s gross profit margin was 16.61 % for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. In 2005, the Company’s gross profit increased significantly due to the acquisition of Erye. The decrease in Gross profit margin is mainly due to both Hengyi and Erye's low gross profit margin.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,987,352 as compared to $545,190 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, representing 265% increase. Erye’s operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,509,677 as compared to $1,705,698 for the twelve months ended 2004. Operating expenses increased significantly in 2005 due to the acquisition of Erye. Auditing expense, legal expenses, and other professional expenses are the main reason for the significant increase in operating expenses due to the acquisition activities. Some of these expenses are one time transactional expenses.
R&D.
R&D cost for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,470,055 as compared to $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. R&D cost as a percentage of revenues was approximately 4.75% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to 0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, the Company’s subsidiaries, including Erye, conducted a number of R&D projects thus substantially increased related expenditure.
NET INCOME
Net Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $960,685 as compared to net income of $350,640 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, representing 174% increase. Erye’s net Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,019,493, as compared to net income of $951,310 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The increase of the net income of the Company is mainly due to the significant increase of revenues from the acquisition of Erye.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in operating activities was $1,666,383 compared to an inflow of $61,026 in 2004. Among the factors driving the significant cash outflow from operating activities, we consider the increase in inventory, which amounted to $3,582,215, was the most important cause. We further identify that a series of medical product inspection standards promulgated by related authorities prolonged the procedures of manufacturing, inspecting and storage of inventory thus used more working capital than before.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,236,737, compared to $1,334,196 in 2004. These outflows are mainly used in purchase of fixed assets and in business acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,427,506, compared to $1,655,289 in 2004. The increase was driven by a series of financing activities both in China and in USA.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2005 was $1,026,606. This is a unique period for merger and acquisition in China. Currently we do not have sufficient cash for such acquisitions. To achieve our goal of continued acquisitions in the industry, we need to raise additional funding in the near future to fund such future acquisitions. In January of 2005, we raised gross proceeds of $500,000 through the sales of promissory note to accredited investors. In June of 2005, pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act, we have conducted a private placement of approximately $1,090,000 with 28 accredited investors, through issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In October of 2005, we conducted a private placement of additional Series A Convertible Preferred Stock worth $62,500. In February 2006, we conducted a private placement of our common stock with gross proceeds of $1,000,000. In March 2006, we sold additional shares of our common stock with gross proceeds of approximately $6,900,000. Pursuant to various agreements entered by us in connection with the private placement mentioned above, we are required to file with the SEC a registration statement, which registers all the shares of common stock issued under these placements, including the shares to which the Series A Preferred Convertible Stock may be converted and the shares underlying the warrants issued or issuable pursuant to these placements. In addition, pursuant to the agreements, we are required to pay a penalty of 5% per month if the registration statement has not become effective before required date. We have filed a registration statement on form SB-2 covering the shares issued and issuable on March 24, 2006.
Going forward, our primary requirements for cash consist of: (1) acquisition of additional pharmaceutical manufacturing companies with GMP standard facilities in order to commercialize new drugs in our extensive new drug pipeline and further extend of product pipeline and expand the our sales network (2) Continued R&D for more selected new drug projects (3) build up sales network for new drug distribution. We anticipate that our internal source of liquid assets may enable us to continue our operation activities other than acquisition activities for next twelve months. However, we anticipate that our current operating activities may not enable us to meet the anticipated cash requirements for future acquisition activities. External source of capital may be needed for our expansion. We are exploring bank loans and private equity financing to finance such expenditures and intend to raise equity through the capital market to allow us to accomplish our future acquisition goals.
MANAGEMENT ASSUMPTIONS
Management anticipates, based on internal forecasts and assumptions relating to our current operations, that existing cash and funds generated from operations may not be sufficient to meet capital requirements for future acquisition activities. We could therefore be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing at acceptable terms to us, or at all.
EFFECT OF FLUCTUATION IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
Our operating subsidiaries are located in China. Their business activities are mainly in China using Chinese Renminbi as the functional currency. The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in China, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our common shares or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Renminbi we convert would be reduced. To date, however, we have not engaged in transactions of either type.
Since 1994 China has pegged the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. We do not believe that this policy has had a material effect on our business. However, there have been indications that the Chinese government may be reconsidering its monetary policy in light of the overall devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and other currencies during the last two years. In July 2005, the Chinese government revalued the Renminbi by 2.1% against the U.S. dollar, moving from Renminbi 8.28 to Renminbi 8.11 per dollar. At the end of December 31, 2005, the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar was translated at 8.06 RMB to $1.00 USD. Because of the pegging of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar is loosened, we anticipate that the value of the Renminbi appreciate against the dollar with the consequences discussed above.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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.
Implementation of the revised SFAS No. 123 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or its disclosures.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.
This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2005, the FASB published FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” which clarifies that the term, conditional asset retirement obligations, as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. The interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This interpretation is effective no later than the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The adoption of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20 (“APB 20”) and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of change a cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle whereas SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable.
SFAS No. 154 enhances the consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS No. 154 will be effective beginning with the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-06). EITF 05-06 provides guidance for determining the amortization period used for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease, collectively referred to as subsequently acquired leasehold improvements. EITF 05-06 provides that the amortization period used for the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements be the lesser of (a) the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements' useful lives, or (b) a period that reflects renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition or the purchase. EITF 05-06 is effective on a prospective basis for subsequently acquired leasehold improvements purchased or acquired in periods beginning after the date of the FASB's ratification, which was on June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that EITF 05-06 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations.
In July 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Exposure Draft of a proposed Interpretation “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the proposed Interpretation, a company would recognize in its financial statements its best estimate of the benefit of a tax position, only if the tax position is considered probable of being sustained on audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position.
In evaluating whether the probable recognition threshold has been met, the proposed Interpretation would require the presumption that the tax position will be evaluated during an audit by taxing authorities. The proposed Interpretation would be effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005, with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to be recorded upon the initial adoption.
The proposed Interpretation would apply to all tax positions and only benefits from tax positions that meet the probable recognition threshold at or after the effective date would be recognized. The Company is currently analyzing the proposed Interpretation and has not determined its potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. While we cannot predict with certainty the rules in the final Interpretation, there is risk that the final Interpretation could result in a cumulative effect charge to earnings upon adoption, increases in future effective tax rates, and/or increases in future interperiod effective tax rate volatility.
In October 2005, FASB Staff Position (FSB) FAS 13-1, "Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period" was issued. This FSP concluded that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period be expensed. The guidance in the FSP is required to be applied to the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The implementation of the above pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Note 1- ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (CBH), a Delaware corporation, were originally organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of New York on August 6, 1976 under the name of Globuscope, Inc. On August 7, 1984, its name was changed to Globus Growth Group, Inc., which was its name until it was merged into CBH, its wholly owned subsidiary in the state of Delaware on August 28, 2004 through an internal re-organizational merger. Effective August 28, 2004, CBH completed the acquisition of China Biopharmaceuticals Corp. ("CBC"), a British Virgin Islands corporation as the parent, the management company and holder of 90% of the ownership interest in its then only operating subsidiary and asset, NanJing Keyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd., doing business in English a.k.a. Nanjing Chemsource Pharmaceutical R&D Co. Ltd, ("Keyuan" or "Chemsource"), a company established in China and engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative drugs and related bio-pharmaceutical products in China. Nanjing Keyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd. was established in March 2000 in Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province, China.
On September 29, 2004, we signed a purchase agreement which was amended on December 31, 2004 to acquire approximately 75.8% ownership interest of Suzhou Hengyi Pharmaceuticals of Feedstock Co., Ltd ("Hengyi"), a Chinese company established in Suzhou, China for 1,200,000 of common shares and additional $1,600,000 as additional contribution into the acquired Hengyi for working capital and/or expansion purposes. The cash contribution is to be made in installments. The detail information of accounting for this transaction is disclosed on Note 15 - Business Combinations.
On June 11, 2005, we signed a purchase agreement, which was amended on August 3, 2005 under which, we acquired approximately 51% of the controlling ownership interest of Suzhou Erye Pharmaceutical Limited Company ("Erye"), a company established in Suzhou, China. Total consideration paid by us to acquire 51% ownership interest in Erye is $3,000,000 cash to be paid in installments, and 3,300,000 of common shares valued at $0.50 per share or $1,650,000. Out of the $3,000,000 to be paid in cash, $2,200,000 will be contributed to the acquired Erye for working capital and/or expansion purposes. The detail information of accounting for this transaction is disclosed on Note 15 - Business Combinations.
On December 31, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary, CBC, entered into an Agreement with four shareholders of Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Limited Company, a pharmaceutical company located in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China ("Tianyin") to immediately assume operation control of Tianyin in all aspects of its business operations and to acquire a 51% ownership interest in Tianyin. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is to issue 3 million shares of its common stock to existing shareholders of Tianyin or their designees and also agreed to invest an amount of US$2 million into Tianyin operations. Additional 300,000 shares of our common stock will be issued to the existing shareholders of Tianyin or their designees, if Tianyin's after tax audited profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 reaches at least US$3,000,000. We are currently evaluating the viability of the implementation of the Tainyin purchase agreement and will make final determination after consulting with management of Tianyin. Since this transaction has been in the process of evaluation, the final determination of this merger transaction has not reasonably reached a conclusion, the financial statements of Tianyin were not included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The detail information of this transaction is disclosed on Note 17 - Subsequent events.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1- ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS , (continued)
The principle activities of the Company in Mainland China (“China” or “PRC”) are research, manufacture and sale of drug raw materials and intermediates as well as prescription and non-prescription chemical drugs and Traditional Chinese Medicines. The principle activities are in China only.
Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Economic and Political Risks
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges since its assets are located in China and its revenues are derived from its operations in China. China is a developing country with a young market economic system overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are still in the stage of change. China also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and its relationship with other countries, including but not limited to the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation. Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Since the Tianyin’s transaction has been in the process of evaluation, the final determination of this merger transaction has not reasonably reached a conclusion, the financial statements of Tianyin were not included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.
On August 4, 2004, the Company declared that the majority stockholders of Globus executed a written consent providing a merger (the “Merger”) of Globus with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, CBH. On July 3, 2004, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) was signed by and between Globus and CBH. The Merger Agreement provided for a tax-free reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, whereby Globus would be merged with and into CBH. The separate corporate existence of Globus ceased and CBH continued as the surviving corporation of the merger. In the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of Globus were converted into shares of common stock of CBH on the basis of seven for five (7 for 5).
Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to confirm to current year’s presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,(continued)
Patent and Development Costs
The patent and development costs represent patented pharmaceutical formulas, which have obtained official registration certificate or official approval for clinical trials. No amortization is provided as it is held for sale. Such costs comprise purchase costs of patented pharmaceutical formulas, development costs, raw materials and other related expenses of pharmaceutical formulas. Patent and development costs are accounted for on an individual basis. The carrying value of patent and development costs is reviewed for impairment annually, and otherwise when events changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs of pharmaceutical formulas for contracted projects are expensed when incurred.
Under the guidance of paragraphs 8 to 11 of SFAS 2, the Company expenses the costs associated with the research and development activities when incurred and capitalizes intangible assets purchased from others if it has alternative future uses in other research and development projects or in its operation. None of the intangible assets of the Company and its subsidiaries was recorded based on R&D costs.
Cash and concentration of risk
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the People's Republic of China. Total cash in state-owned banks at December 31, 2005 amounted to $979,979 of which no deposits are covered by insurance.

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
Revenue and Revenue Recognition
The Company has three categories of revenue resources, revenue from sales of new drugs formulas, revenue from R&D service rendered by the Company and revenue from sales of medical product.
The Company recognizes revenue from product and drug formula sales when title has been transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is probable which is generally at the time of shipment. Allowances are established for estimated rebates, wholesaler charge backs, prompt pay sales discounts, product returns, and bad debts.
For revenue from R&D service, revenue is recognized based on fixed-price refundable new drug contract. The fixed-price refundable new drug contract is also called as milestone contract, which establishes the phase goals of the R&D service provided by the Company and the corresponding milestone payments by the customers. Milestone payments become payable and are recognized as revenue when milestone goals, as defined in the contract, are achieved. Revenue is recognized when milestone goals are achieved at the amount of the corresponding milestone payment.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, revenue from sales of product, revenue from sales of new drug formulas, and revenue from service rendered for 2005 was $29,669,378, $475,358, and $803,832 respectively.

Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimate are made; however actual results could differ materially form those estimates.
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, established standard for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity excepts those resulting form investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company's only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries’ financial records are maintained and the statutory financial statements are stated in its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of each reporting period.
This quotation of the exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People's Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rate quoted by the People's Bank of China.

Foreign Currency Translation, (continued)
Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $156,089 and $(3,361) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2005 were translated at 8.06 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 8.26 RMB at December 31, 2004. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rate of 8.18 RMB for the year ended December 31, 2005 was applied to income statement accounts.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. These amounts are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “earnings Per Share” (SFAS128). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share (EPS) as Basic EPS and Diluted EPS.
During 2005, the Company issued 1,152,500 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, which bear no dividends. This preferred stocks is convertible to common stock at a ratio of 1:1. As a result, the convertible preferred stock has no dilution effects on the net income for calculating diluted EPS. The Company computed the Diluted EPS due to the dilution effect of the number of shares of the convertible preferred stock. Income per common share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflects the retroactive restatement of the shareholders’ equity section to reflect the recapitalization of the Company as of August 28, 2004. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 each amounted to 27,096,558, which included 612,918 weighted averaged number of convertible preferred stock, and 24,358,757, respectively. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 26,483,640 and 24,358,757, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $0.04 and $0.01, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which superseded 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, (continued)
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.
This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2005, the FASB published FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” which clarifies that the term, conditional asset retirement obligations, as used in
SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. The interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This interpretation is effective no later than the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The adoption of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20 (“APB 20”) and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of change a cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle whereas SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable.

SFAS No. 154 enhances the consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS No. 154 will be effective beginning with the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements" (EITF 05-06). EITF 05-06 provides guidance for determining the amortization period used for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease, collectively referred to as subsequently acquired leasehold improvements. EITF 05-06 provides that the amortization period used for the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements be the lesser of (a) the subsequently acquired leasehold improvements' useful lives, or (b) a period that reflects renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition or the purchase. EITF 05-06 is effective on a prospective basis for subsequently acquired leasehold improvements purchased or acquired in periods beginning after the date of the FASB's ratification, which was on June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that EITF 05-06 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations.
In July 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Exposure Draft of a proposed Interpretation “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the proposed Interpretation, a company would recognize in its financial statements its best estimate of the benefit of a tax position, only if the tax position is considered probable of being sustained on audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position.
In evaluating whether the probable recognition threshold has been met, the proposed Interpretation would require the presumption that the tax position will be evaluated during an audit by taxing authorities. The proposed Interpretation would be effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005, with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to be recorded upon the initial adoption.
The proposed Interpretation would apply to all tax positions and only benefits from tax positions that meet the probable recognition threshold at or after the effective date would be recognized. The Company is currently analyzing the proposed Interpretation and has not determined its potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. While we cannot predict with certainty the rules in the final Interpretation, there is risk that the final Interpretation could result in a cumulative effect charge to earnings upon adoption, increases in future effective tax rates, and/or increases in future interperiod effective tax rate volatility.

The guidance in the FSP is required to be applied to the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.
