REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

DRAGON PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
& SUBSIDIARIES


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Dragon Pharmaceuticals Inc. &
Subsidiaries  ("the  Company")  as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
consolidated  statement of stockholders' equity for the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, and the consolidated  statements of operations and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These  consolidated  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit
to obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether the financial  statements  are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  these consolidated  financial statements present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position of the Company as at
December  31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their  operations  and their cash
flows for the years ended  December 31, 2002,  2001 and 2000 in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

DRAGON PHARMACEUTICALS INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002 and 2001
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Nature of Business

     The Company was formed on August 22, 1989 as First Geneva  Investments Inc.
     under the laws of the State of  Florida.  The  Company  changed its name to
     Dragon  Pharmaceuticals  Inc.  on  August  31,  1998.  Pursuant  to a share
     exchange  agreement,  dated July 29, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the
     issued and outstanding shares of Allwin Newtech Ltd.  ("Allwin") by issuing
     7,000,000  common shares of the Company.  This transaction is accounted for
     as a reverse acquisition.

     Allwin  was  incorporated  under  the laws of  British  Virgin  Islands  on
     February  10,  1998.  Pursuant  to  a  Sino-Foreign   Co-operative  Company
     Contract,  dated April 18, 1998, Allwin and a Chinese  corporation formed a
     limited  liability  company  under the Chinese law,  named as Sanhe Kailong
     Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Kailong"), located in Hebei Province, China.
     Allwin has a 95%  interest  in Kailong.  Pursuant  to another  Sino-foreign
     Co-operative  Company  Contract,  dated July 27, 1999, Allwin completed the
     acquisition of a 75% interest in Nanjing Huaxin Bio-pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
     ("Huaxin"). In January 2002, the Company acquired the balance of Huaxin for
     $1,400,000.  Kailong is inactive  and Huaxin is in the business of research
     and development,  production and sales of pharmaceutical products in China.
     Allwin Biotrade Inc. ("Biotrade) was incorporated under the laws of British
     Virgin   Islands  on  June  6,  2000  for  the  purpose  of  marketing  and
     distributing    biopharmaceutical    products    outside   China.    Dragon
     Pharmaceuticals (Canada) Inc. ("Dragon Canada") was incorporated in British
     Columbia,  Canada on September 15, 2000 for the purpose of researching  and
     developing new biopharmaceutical products.

2.   Change in Accounting Policies

     Effective  January 1, 2002,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 142,  "Goodwill  and Other  Intangible
     Assets".  This statement requires that intangible assets with an indefinite
     life  are  not  amortized.  Intangible  assets  with a  definite  life  are
     amortized over its useful life or estimated of its useful life.  Indefinite
     life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually,  and will be
     tested  for  impairment  between  annual  tests  if any  events  occurs  or
     circumstances  change that would  indicate that the carrying  amount may be
     impaired.  Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment
     whenever  events or  circumstances  indicate  that a carrying  amount of an
     asset (asset group) may not be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss would be
     recognized  when the  carrying  amount of an asset  exceeds  the  estimated
     non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets.
     The amount of the  impairment  loss to be  recorded  is  calculated  by the
     excess of the  assets  carrying  value over its fair  value.  Fair value is
     generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

     The  adoption  of SFAS  No.  142  did not  have a  material  impact  on the
     company's consolidated financial statements.

3.   Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Basis of Consolidation

          These  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its subsidiaries,  Allwin,  Kailong,  Huaxin, Biotrade and
          Dragon Canada.  All inter-company  transactions and balances have been
          eliminated.

     (b)  Principles of Accounting

          These  financial  statements  are stated in US  Dollars  and have been
          prepared in accordance with accounting  principles  generally accepted
          in the United States of America.

     (c)  Fixed Assets

          Fixed  assets  are  recorded  at  cost.  Depreciation  is based on the
          estimated  useful  lives  of the  assets  and is  computed  using  the
          straight-line method.

          Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:

            Motor vehicle                            5 years
            Lab equipment                            8 years
            Office equipment and furniture           5 years
            Leasehold improvements                   Term of lease (5 -10 years)
            Production equipment                     10 years

          Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
          circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  amount of an asset (asset
          group) may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized
          when  the  carrying   amount  of  an  asset   exceeds  the   estimated
          undiscounted  future cash flow  expected to result from the use of the
          asset and its eventual disposition.  The amount of the impairment loss
          to be recorded  is  calculated  by the excess of the assets'  carrying
          value over its fair value. Fair value is generally  determined using a
          discounted cash flow analysis.

          Effective  January 1, 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  144.  This  statement  retains  the
          requirements  of  SFAS  No.  121  (Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
          Long-Lived  Assets and for  Ling-Lived  Assets to Be Disclosed  of) to
          recognize  impairments on Property,  Plant and Equipment,  but removes
          goodwill  from its scope.  The adoption of SAFS No. 144 did not have a
          material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

3.   Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (d)  Foreign Currency Transactions

          The parent  company,  Allwin,  Kailong,  Huaxin,  Biotrade  and Dragon
          Canada  maintain  their   accounting   records  in  their   functional
          currencies (i.e., U.S. dollars, U.S. dollars,  Renminbi Yuan, Renminbi
          Yuan, U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars respectively).  They translate
          foreign currency  transactions  into their functional  currency in the
          following manner.

          At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is
          translated  into the  functional  currency by the use of the  exchange
          rate in effect at that date.  At the period end,  monetary  assets and
          liabilities are translated  into the functional  currency by using the
          exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting  foreign  exchange
          gains and losses are included in operations.

     (e)  Foreign Currency Translations

          Assets and liabilities of the foreign  subsidiaries  (whose functional
          currency is Renminbi  Yuan or Canadian  dollars) are  translated  into
          U.S.  dollars at exchange  rates in effect at the balance  sheet date.
          Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rate. Gain and
          losses from such translations are included in stockholders' equity, as
          a component of other comprehensive income.

     (f)  Accounting Estimates

          The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles 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 period.  Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

3.   Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (h)  Income Taxes

          The Company has adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
          ("SFAS") No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes",  which requires the
          Company  to  recognize  deferred  tax  liabilities  and assets for the
          expected  future tax  consequences of events that have been recognized
          in the  Company's  financial  statements  or  tax  returns  using  the
          liability  method.  Under this method,  deferred tax  liabilities  and
          assets are determined based on the temporary  differences  between the
          financial  statements  and tax bases of assets and  liabilities  using
          enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the  differences are
          expected to reverse.

     (i)  Comprehensive Income

          The  Company  has  adopted  SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
          Income",  which  establishes  standards  for  reporting and display of
          comprehensive  income,  its components and accumulated  balances.  The
          Company  is   disclosing   this   information   on  its  Statement  of
          Stockholders'  Equity.  Comprehensive  income  comprises equity except
          those  resulting  from  investments  by owners  and  distributions  to
          owners. SFAS No. 130 did not change the current accounting  treatments
          for components of comprehensive income.

     (j)  Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

          Fair value of financial  instruments  are made at a specific  point in
          time,  based on  relevant  information  about  financial  markets  and
          specific financial  instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in
          nature,  involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement,
          they cannot be determined with  precision.  Changes in assumptions can
          significantly affect estimated fair values.

          The  carrying  value  of cash  and cash  equivalents,  term  deposits,
          accounts  receivable,   bank  loans,   accounts  payable  and  accrued
          liabilities  approximate  their fair value  because of the  short-term
          nature of these  instruments.  The  Company  places  its cash and cash
          equivalents  with high  credit  quality  financial  institutions.  The
          Company  occasionally  maintains  balances in a financial  institution
          beyond the insured  amount.  As of December 31, 2002,  the Company did
          not have any deposits above insured limits.

          The Company is operating in China,  which may give rise to significant
          foreign currency risks from  fluctuations and the degree of volatility
          of  foreign  exchange  rates  between  U.S.  dollars  and the  Chinese
          currency  RMB.  Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject the
          Company to  concentration  of credit risk consist  principally of cash
          and trade receivables, the balances of which are stated on the balance
          sheet.  The Company places its cash in high credit  quality  financial
          institutions.  Concentration  of  credit  risk with  respect  to trade
          receivables are limited due to the Company's'  large number of diverse
          customers  in  different  locations  in China.  The  Company  does not
          require collateral or other security to support financial  instruments
          subject to credit risk.

     (k)  License and Permit

          License  and  permit,  in  relation  to the  production  and  sales of
          pharmaceutical  products in China,  is  amortized  on a  straight-line
          basis over ten years.

          License  and  permit  is  tested  for  impairment  whenever  events or
          circumstances  indicate that a carrying amount may not be recoverable.
          An impairment  loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an
          asset  exceeds  the  estimated   non-discounted  cash  flows  used  in
          determining the fair value of the assets. The amount of the impairment
          loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying
          value over its fair value. Fair value is generally  determined using a
          discounted cash flow analysis.

     (l)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

          Cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments that are
          readily convertible into cash with maturities of three months or less.
          As at December 31, 2002, cash equivalents consist of commercial papers
          and redeemable term deposits.

     (m)  Inventories

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and replacement  cost with
          respect  to raw  materials  and the  lower of cost and net  realizable
          value with respect to finished goods.  Cost includes direct  material,
          direct labour and  overheads.  Cost is calculated  using the first-in,
          first-out  method.  Net realizable  value  represents the  anticipated
          selling price less further costs for completion and distribution.

     (n)  Revenue Recognition

          Sales revenue is recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers.

     (o)  Stock-based Compensation

          The Company  adopted the  disclosure-only  provisions  of Statement of
          Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),  "Accounting  for
          Stock-based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require,
          companies to adopt a fair value based method for  determining  expense
          related to stock-based compensation.  The Company continues to account
          for stock-based  compensation  issued to employees and directors using
          the intrinsic value method as prescribed under  Accounting  Principles
          Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
          and related Interpretations.

     (p)  Loss Per Share

          Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
          outstanding  during the  period.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS No. 128,
          "Earnings  per  share".  Diluted  loss per share is equal to the basic
          loss per share for the because common stock equivalents  consisting of
          options to acquire  3,288,000  common  shares and  warrants to acquire
          2,800,000  common shares that are outstanding at December 31, 2002 are
          anti-dilutive, however, they may be dilutive in future.

     (q)  Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

          The  Company  has  adopted  the  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
          Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133),  Accounting for  Derivative  Instruments
          and Hedging  Activities,  which  requires  companies to recognize  all
          derivatives  contracts as either assets or  liabilities in the balance
          sheet and to measure  them at fair value.  If certain  conditions  are
          met, a  derivative  may be  specifically  designated  as a hedge,  the
          objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss  recognition
          on the hedging  derivative  with the recognition of (i) the changes in
          the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are  attributable
          to the  hedged  risk  or  (ii)  the  earnings  effect  of  the  hedged
          forecasted  transaction.  For a derivative not designated as a hedging
          instrument,  the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of
          change.

          Historically,  the Company has not entered into  derivative  contracts
          either  to hedge  existing  risks  or for  speculative  purposes.  The
          Company does not  anticipate  that the adoption of the statement  will
          have a significant impact on its financial statements.

     (r)  New Accounting Pronouncements

          In  April  2002,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standard  Board  issued
          Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  145  (SFAS  145),
          Rescission  of FASB  Statement  No.  4, 44 and 64,  Amendment  of FASB
          Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections.  The  rescission of SFAS
          No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from  Extinguishments,  and SFAS 64,
          Extinguishments  of Debt Made to Satisfy  Sinking  Fund  Requirements,
          which amended SFAS 4, will affect income statement  classification  of
          gains and losses from  extinguishment  of debt.  SFAS 145 is effective
          for fiscal years  beginning  January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145
          will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

          In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
          of Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 146 (SFAS 146),  Accounting for
          Costs  Associated  with Exit or Disposal  Activities,  which addresses
          financial  accounting and reporting for costs  associated with exit or
          disposal  activities and nullifies  Emerging  Issues Task Force Issued
          No.  94-3,  Liability  Recognition  for Certain  Employee  Termination
          Benefits  and  Other  Costs to Exit an  Activity.  SFAS 146  generally
          requires a liability  for a cost  associated  with an exit or disposal
          activity to be recognized and measured  initially at its fair value in
          the period in which the liability is incurred.  The  pronouncement  is
          effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31,
          2002.  The  adoption  of SFAS  146  will  not  have an  impact  on the
          Company's financial statements.

3.   Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     (r)  New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

          In December  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standard  Board issued
          Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  148  (SFAS  148),
          Accounting for  Stock-based  Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.
          SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,  to
          provide  alternative  methods for  voluntary  transition to SFAS 123's
          fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
          SFAS  148 also  requires  disclosure  of the  effects  of an  entity's
          accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on
          reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in annual and
          interim financial  statements.  SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years
          beginning  after  December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 148 will not
          have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

          In November 2002, the Financial  Accounting Standard Board issued FASB
          Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure
          Requirements  for  Guarantees,   Including   Indirect   Guarantees  of
          indebtedness of Others - An  Interpretation  of FASB Statements of No.
          5, 57 and 107 and  rescission  of FASB  Interpretation  No.  34.  This
          interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantor's accounting
          for and disclosures of certain guarantees issued and outstanding.  FIN
          45 also  clarifies the  requirements  related to the  recognition of a
          liability  by a guarantor at the  inception of a guarantee.  FIN 45 is
          effective for  guarantees  entered into or modified after December 31,
          2002.  The  adoption of FIN 45 will not have  impact on the  Company's
          financial statements.

          In January 2003, the Financial  Accounting  Standard Board issued FASB
          Interpretation  No. 46 (FIN 46),  Consolidation  of Variable  Interest
          Entities - An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No.
          51.  This  interpretation  addressed  the  requirements  for  business
          enterprises  to  consolidate   related  entities  in  which  they  are
          determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their
          variable economic interest.  The interpretation is intended to provide
          guidance in judging  multiple  economic  interests in an entity and in
          determining  the  primary  beneficiary.  The  interpretation  outlines
          disclosure  requirements  for VIEs in  existence  prior to January 31,
          2003,  outlines  consolidation  requirements  for VIEs  created  after
          January  31,  2003.  The  company has  reviewed  its major  commercial
          relationship and its overall  economic  interests with other companies
          consisting of related parties, manufacture vendors, loan creditors and
          other  suppliers  to  determine  the extent of its  variable  economic
          interest  in  these  parties.   The  review  has  not  resulted  in  a
          determination  that the  Company  would be  judged  to be the  primary
          economic  beneficiary  in any  material  relationships,  or  that  any
          material  entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of
          the Company.

     (b)  Pursuant to an amended agreement dated June 5, 2001, in the event that
          the  Company  failed  to find a joint  venture  partner,  establish  a
          production  facility for the vaccine  project or sell the project to a
          third  party  within  nine  months  from  the  date  of  this  amended
          agreement,  Dr.  Longbin Liu, a director of the Company (and President
          and CEO of the Company at the time of the  transaction) and one of the
          shareholders of Alphatech, demanded to repurchase the project from the
          Company. The repurchase price of $4.0 million is payable as follows:

          (ii) the balance to be paid within eighteen (18) months of the date of
               repurchase  with  interest at 6% per annum.  The interest will be
               accrued from six months after the date of repurchase.

     the project on the agreed terms.

     The amount  owing by Dr. Liu to the Company is  unsecured.  The Company has
     chosen, given the significant amount involved and the lack of security,  to
     conservatively  value the amount  owing and has set up a provision  for the
     full amount, less a nominal amount of $100.

     ===========================================================================

     Amortization  expenses  for the  license  and  permit  for the  year  ended

13.  Income Taxes

     (a)  Kailong and Huaxin are subject to income taxes in China on its taxable
          income  as  reported  in  its  statutory  accounts  at a tax  rate  in
          accordance with the relevant income tax laws.

          Allwin and  Biotrade are not subject to income  taxes.  As at December
          31,  2002,  $3.4  million  of  unremitted  earnings   attributable  to
          international  companies were considered to be indefinitely  invested.
          No  provision  has been made for taxes  that might be payable if these
          earnings were remitted to the United States.  The company's  intention
          is  to  reinvest  these  earnings  permanently  or to  repatriate  the
          earnings when it is tax effective to do so. It is not  practicable  to
          determine the amount of incremental  taxes that might arise were these
          earnings to be remitted.

          As at December 31, 2002,  the company has  estimated  losses,  for tax
          purposes,  totalling  approximately  $7,535,000,  which may be applied
          against future taxable income. The potential tax benefits arising from
          these losses have not been recorded in the financial  statements.  The
          Company  evaluates its valuation  allowance  requirements on an annual
          basis based on projected future operations.  When circumstances change
          and  this  causes  a  change  in  management's   judgement  about  the
          realizability of deferred tax assets,  the impact of the change on the
          valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

     (b)  The  tax  effect  of  temporary  differences  that  give  rise  to the
          Company's deferred tax asset (liability) are as follows:

14.  Stock Options and Warrants (continued)

          The  Company  accounts  for  its  stock-based   compensation  plan  in
          accordance  with APB Opinion No. 25,  under which no  compensation  is
          recognized in connection with options  granted to employees  except if
          options  are  granted  with a strike  price  below  fair  value of the
          underlying stock. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements SFAS
          No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation.  Accordingly,  the
          Company is required to  calculate  and present the pro forma effect of
          all awards granted.  For disclosure  purposes,  the fair value of each
          option  granted to an employee  has been  estimated  as of the date of
          grant using the Black-Scholes  option pricing model with the following
          assumptions:  risk-free  interest  rate of 5.5%,  dividend  yield  0%,
          volatility  of 90% (2001 - 89%,  2000 - 89%),  and  expected  lives of
          approximately  0 to 5 years.  Based on the computed  option values and
          the  number  of  the  options  issued,   had  the  Company  recognized
          compensation  expense, the following would have been its effect on the
          Company's net loss:
