useful lives of the assets with 3% residual value. The depreciation expense for
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $389,855 and $343,640,
respectively. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Financial instruments
- ---------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of the fair value
of financial instruments held by the Company. SFAS 107 defines the fair value of
financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company considers the
carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and other payables to approximate their fair values
because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments
and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
Accounts receivable, trade and allowance for doubtful accounts
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's business operations are conducted in the People's Republic of
China. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured
credit to its customers. Accounts receivable, trade outstanding at December 31,
2005 and 2004 amounted to $2,806,496 and $1,884,717, respectively. Management
reviews its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt
allowance is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection
of the full amount is no longer probable. The Company records the allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon the following criteria 100% of the accounts
balances over three years old, 50% for accounts balances between two to three
years old, 30% of the account balances between one to two years old and 3% of
the account balances between ten months to one year old. Known bad debts are
written off as incurred. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31,
2005 and 2004 amounted to $136,928 and $157,580, respectively.

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.
Research costs of pharmaceutical formulas held for sale are capitalized whereas
the development cost are expensed until the project attains technical
feasibility (i.e. obtained official approval for clinical trials), and then such
development costs are capitalized.
Other assets
- ------------
Land use right
All land in the People's Republic of China is owned by the government and cannot
be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants the user a
"land use right" (the Right) to use the land. The Company obtained the land use
right from a shareholder as part of his registered capital contribution in 2001
for a total amount of $1,936,000. The Company has the right to use this land for
50 years. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, accumulated amortization amounted to
$294,293 and $248,453. The cost of the rights is being amortized over 50 years
using the straight-line method.
Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their
carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired
if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related
operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to
determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives. As of December 31, 2005, the Company expects these assets to be
fully recoverable.
Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
amounted to $39,680 and $38,720 respectively.

operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to
determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives. As of December 31, 2005, the Company expects these assets to be
fully recoverable.
Income taxes
- ------------
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of
deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of
taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since the Company had no operations
within the United States there is no provision for US taxes and there are no
deferred tax amounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for
items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In
principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible
temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
period when the asset is realized or the liability is settles. Deferred tax is
charges or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items
credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also

various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws). Under the Income Tax Laws,
foreign investment enterprises (FIE) generally are subject to an income tax at
an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on
income as reported in their statutory financial statements after appropriate tax
adjustments unless the enterprise is located in specially designated regions of
cities for which more favorable effective tax rates apply. Upon approval by the
PRC tax authorities, FIE's scheduled to operate for a period of 10 years or more
and engaged in manufacturing and production may by exempt from income taxes for
two years, commencing with their first profitable year of operations, after
taking into account any losses brought forward from prior years, and thereafter
with a 50% exemption for the next three years.

adopted the Tax Package Policy granted by the local Government, which required
the Company to pay its tax to the appropriate taxing authority based upon the
annual fixed amount set forth by the local County Government. The Company did
not obtain any written approval of the Tax Package Policy from the local County
Government. However as of the date of this audit report, the Company has not
been notified for any additional tax payment.

year 2004 and 2005 and 50% exemption for 2006, 2007 and 2008. In addition, the
Company is located in a Special Economic Zone and the PRC tax authority has
offered a special income tax rate of 7.5% for the companies being awarded the

Company has not applied for the tax benefit offered for the "High Technology
Enterprise". With the approval of the local government, the Company would became

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
- -----------------------------------------
In March 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. EITF
03-1 includes new guidance for evaluating and recording impairment losses on
debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for
investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the
FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-1-1, which delays the effective date until
additional guidance is issued for the application of the recognition and
measurement provisions of EITF 03-1 to investments in securities that are
impaired; however, the disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods
ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter
4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).
Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that "...under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandle costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges..." SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized
as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so
abnormal." In addition, this requires that allocation of fixed production
overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities.
The provisions of SFAS 151 shall be applied prospectively and are effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with
earlier application permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after the date this Statement was issued. The Company's adoption of
SFAS No. 151 is not currently expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment", which amends FASB Statement No. 123 and will be effective for public
companies for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The
revised standard requires, among other things that compensation cost for
employee stock options be measured at fair value on the grant date and charged
to expense over the employee's requisite service period for the option. Due to
the absence of observable market prices for employee stock options, the standard
indicates that the fair value of most stock options will be determined using an
option-pricing model. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is not currently
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

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 2006. The adoption of
this Interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
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 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 to 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 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.

Note 7 - Reserves and dividends
The laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China require that before a
Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise distributes profits to its
partners, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide for losses in
previous years, and make allocations, in proportions determined at the
discretion of the board of directors, after the statutory reserve. The statutory
reserves include the surplus reserve fund, the common welfare fund, and the
enterprise fund.
Statutory reserve fund
- ----------------------
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in
accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus
reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company's registered

The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends
to shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company transferred
$514,206 to this reserve which represents 10% of the current year's net income
determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. The surplus
reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used
to fund previous years' losses, if any, and may be utilized for business
expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing
shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value
of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve
balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
Common welfare fund
