Independent Accountants' Review Report
KPMG-A(2002)OR No.0063
The Board of Directors and Cooperative Joint Venture Partners
Guangxi Guanghe Metals Co., Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying combined balance sheet of Guangxi Guanghe Metals Co., Ltd., Hechi Copper Refinery Plant, Wuxu Mining Plant and 9% equity interest in GaoFeng Mining Co., Ltd., (collectively "Acquired Operations") as of March 31, 2002, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, investors' equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Acquired Operations' management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
As discussed in note 2(a) regarding basis of preparation, Acquired Operations is part of a group of companies that are under common control of the shareholders of Acquired Operations. In preparing these combined financial statements certain expenses and revenues have been allocated among these commonly owned and controlled companies. Such allocations involve judgment. As a result, the combined financial statements of Acquired Operations may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the operations had been carried out by or as an independent entity.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the combined financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the combined balance sheet of the Acquired Operations as of December 31, 2001, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, investors' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 19, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those combined financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combined balance sheet from which it has been derived.

In consideration, HPMC was granted 40,000,000 shares of stock of HIL and subsequently allocated the shares to 379 of its former employees, who then become the shareholders of HIL. The assets transferred were: |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICE |
| |
(a) | Basis of preparation |
| |
| The combined financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 (the "relevant periods") reflect the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of businesses of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment. These combined financial statements have been prepared using the predecessor's historical cost basis as if the Acquired Operations had been in existence throughout the relevant period and as if the business activities of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment had been conducted throughout the relevant periods. Predecessor's historical cost represents the costs that HPMC incurred in purchasing the relevant assets and not the RMB 126 million referred to in note 1. |
| |
| Prior to the formation of the Acquired Operations, the Acquired Operations' historical financial statements include unallocated general and administrative expenses. These expenses were allocated to the Acquired Operations by using specific identification method for those periods, except for salaries and welfare for administrative staff, depreciation of office building and motor vehicles, which specific identification method was not practical, were allocated based on actual working hours, floor area and actual usage, respectively, as disclosed in note 8. Management believes that the method of allocation of general and administrative expenses are reasonable and that the combined financial statements include all revenues and costs directly and indirectly related to the Acquired Operations' operations for the relevant periods. |
| |
| The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). |
| |
| The combined financial statements include the accounts of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICE (continued) |
| |
(b) | Use of Estimates |
| |
| The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| |
(c) | Translation of foreign currency |
| |
| The Acquired Operations adopts Reminbi Yuan ("RMB"), the national currency of the PRC, as its functional currency, since it is the currency that the Acquired Operations conducts its primary economic activities. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange quoted by the People's Bank of China ("PBOC rates") prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Renminbi at the applicable PBOC rates at the balance sheet date. |
| |
(d) | Cash |
| |
| The Acquired Operations considers cash on hand and deposits in banks and money market accounts with matures less than 3 months to be cash. |
| |
(e) | Inventories |
| |
| Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method for all inventories. |
| |
(f) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
| |
| Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. |
| |
| The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the anticipated useful life of the asset less 5% residual value. The respective anticipated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: |
| |
| Property and plant | 20~30 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | 15~20 years | |
| Office equipment | 5 years | |
Motor vehicles | 5 years | |
| | | |
| Land use rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. |

(g) | GaoFeng Investment |
| |
| GaoFeng Investment is held as a long-term investment and accounted for using cost method. Dividends are recognized as income when declared. Loss in value in the investment which is other than a temporary decline would be recognized in the statement of operations when incurred. |
| |
(h) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of |
| |
| The Acquired Operations accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. An asset to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. |
| |
(i) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
| |
| Financial assets of the Acquired Operations include cash, trade accounts receivable, short-term loans to a related party, amounts due from related parties, prepayments to suppliers, time deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets. Financial liabilities of the Acquired Operations include short-term borrowings, short-term loans from a related party, trade accounts payable, notes payable and other payables and accrued expenses. The Acquired Operations does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Acquired Operations had no positions in derivative contracts as at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. |
| |
| The fair values of all financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature or short-term maturity of these instruments. |
| |
(j) | Income Taxes |
| |
| The Acquired Operations utilizes the liability method to determine the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates when the differences are expected to be reversed. |

| The Contributions payable under the Acquired Operations' retirement plans are charged to the combined statements of operation according to the contribution determined by the plans. |

(m) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
| |
| In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, (SFAS No. 141) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). |
| |
| SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141 specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121 and subsequently, SFAS No. 142 after its adoption. |
| |
| The Acquired Operations adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 is effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001, but before SFAS No. 142 is adopted in full, are not amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 continued to be amortized and tested for impairment prior to the full adoption of SFAS No. 142. |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICE (continued) |
| |
(m) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued) |
| |
| Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Acquired Operations is required to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. The Acquired Operations will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. If an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Acquired Operations will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 within the first interim period. Impairment is measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair value of an intangible asset with an indefinite life. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period. |

Independent Accountants' Review Report
The Board of Directors and Cooperative Joint Venture Partners
Guangxi Guanghe Metals Co., Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying combined balance sheet of Guangxi Guanghe Metals Co., Ltd., Hechi Copper Refinery Plant, Wuxu Mining Plant and 9% equity interest in GaoFeng Mining Co., Ltd., (collectively "Acquired Operations") as of June 30, 2002, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, investors' equity, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Acquired Operations' management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
As discussed in note 2(a) regarding basis of preparation, Acquired Operations is part of a group of companies that are under common control of the shareholders of Acquired Operations. In preparing these combined financial statements certain expenses and revenues have been allocated among these commonly owned and controlled companies. Such allocations involve judgment. As a result, the combined financial statements of Acquired Operations may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the operations had been carried out by or as an independent entity.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the combined financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the combined balance sheet of the Acquired Operations as of December 31, 2001, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, investors' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 19, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those combined financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combined balance sheet from which it has been derived.

1 | BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
(a) | Background information |
On June 8, 1998 Hechi Prefecture Mining Company ("HPMC"), a state-owned entity incorporated in July 1993 in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), and Hechi Industrial Company Limited ("HIL") a limited company in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the PRC on June 9, 1998, signed an agreement to transfer certain assets from HPMC to HIL. In consideration, HPMC was granted 40,000,000 shares of stock of HIL and subsequently allocated the shares to 379 of its former employees, who then become the shareholders of HIL. The assets transferred were:
| | the Hechi Copper Refinery Plant (the "Copper Refinery"); |
| | the Wuxu Mining Plant (the "Wuxu Mine"); |
| | a 9% equity interest in the GaoFeng Mining Company Limited (the "GaoFeng Investment"); |
| | the Non-Ferrous Metal Trading Company; |
| | a transportation company |
| | a coal company (dormant); |
| | the Guizhou Louxia Coal Company; and |
| | the Hechi Antimony Industrial Company Limited |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICE |
(a) | Basis of preparation |
The combined financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (the "relevant periods") reflect the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of businesses of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment. These combined financial statements have been prepared using the predecessor's historical cost basis as if the Acquired Operations had been in existence throughout the relevant period and as if the business activities of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment had been conducted throughout the relevant periods. Predecessor's historical cost represents the costs that HPMC incurred in purchasing the relevant assets and not the RMB 126 million referred to in note 1.
Prior to the formation of the Acquired Operations, the Acquired Operations' historical financial statements include unallocated general and administrative expenses. These expenses were allocated to the Acquired Operations by using specific identification method for those periods, except for salaries and welfare for administrative staff, depreciation of office building and motor vehicles, which specific identification method was not practical, were allocated based on actual working hours, floor area and actual usage, respectively, as disclosed in note 8. Management believes that the method of allocation of general and administrative expenses are reasonable and that the combined financial statements include all revenues and costs directly and indirectly related to the Acquired Operations' operations for the relevant periods.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
The combined financial statements include the accounts of GGMC, Copper Refinery, Wuxu Mine and GaoFeng Investment. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

| Property and plant | 20~30 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 15~20 years |

(g) | GaoFeng Investment |
GaoFeng Investment is held as a long-term investment and accounted for using cost method. Dividends are recognized as income when declared. Loss in value in the investment which is other than a temporary decline would be recognized in the statement of operations when incurred.
(h) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of |
The Acquired Operations accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. An asset to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.
(i) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Financial assets of the Acquired Operations include cash, trade accounts receivable, short-term loans to a related party, amounts due from related parties, prepayments to suppliers, time deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets. Financial liabilities of the Acquired Operations include short-term borrowings, short-term loans from a related party, trade accounts payable, notes payable and other payables and accrued expenses. The Acquired Operations does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Acquired Operations had no positions in derivative contracts as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
The fair values of all financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature or short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Acquired Operations utilizes the liability method to determine the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates when the differences are expected to be reversed.

(m) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, (SFAS No. 141) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142).
SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141 specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121 and subsequently, SFAS No. 142 after its adoption.
The Acquired Operations adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 is effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001, but before SFAS No. 142 is adopted in full, are not amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 continued to be amortized and tested for impairment prior to the full adoption of SFAS No. 142.

(m) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued) |
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Acquired Operations is required to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. The Acquired Operations will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. If an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Acquired Operations will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 within the first interim period. Impairment is measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair value of an intangible asset with an indefinite life. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period.

("GGMC") by Biogan International Inc. ("Biogan") for a consideration of an additional cash payment of $300,000 (Biogan having already contributed $1,700,000), 16,800,000 common shares and 3,624,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred shares, which are convertible into, in the aggregate, 362,400,000 common shares following stockholder approval authorizing such increase in authorized capital. Biogan is also obligated to make an additional capital contribution to GGMC of $7.3 million by September 2003. As a result of the transaction, the former shareholders of GGMC will indirectly control 78.4% of the outstanding voting stock of Biogan and, as such, the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse takeover. However, since Biogan has no significant assets, other than a non-refundable deposit in relation to the acquisition of GGMC, the transaction is considered to be a capital transaction.
The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations assume that the acquisition occurred at January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes the acquisition occurred at March 31, 2002.
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations have been prepared based on the audited financial statements of each of Biogan and GGMC for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the unaudited interim financial statements of each of Biogan and GGMC for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Biogan and GGMC, and the notes thereto.
The financial statements of Biogan are prepared in United States dollars. The financial statements of GGMC are prepared in Chinese Renminbi Yuan. For purposes of these pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, the balance sheet of GGMC has been translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at March 31, 2002 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been translated at the average exchange rate for the U.S. dollar for the year ended December 31, 2001 and three months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.
