Organization and Nature of Business Hubei Pharmaceutical Group, Ltd. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on December 18, 1998, under the name of Explore Technologies, IncIn the exploration stage, the Company was engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company had intended to carry out exploration work on the Miranda Property in order to ascertain whether the Miranda Property possessed commercially developable quantities of gold and other precious minerals. The Company's board of directors determined that further exploration of the Miranda Property was not commercially viable and decided on April 25, 2000 to abandon its interest in the property. In April 2002, the Company identified a business opportunity and acquired the issued and outstanding shares of Access Network Limited ("Access"), a British Virgin Island Company, and certain assets associated with the operations of Access by the issuance of 14,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.09 per share. Access was in the business of supplying long distance telephone services to Asian users. Also, the Company changed its name from Explore Technologies, Inc. to Pan Asia Communications Corp. On May 15, 2002, the Company issued 12,598,500 common shares to creditors of Access in settlement of debt of $629,925. On June 5, 2002, the Company issued 5,950,000 shares of common stock to consultants at a deemed price of $0.09 per share for a number of agreements to provide customer research, technology support and financial services related to the business acquired from Access. The Company has cancelled all agreements for services from consultants and other agents effective (September 3rd 2002) with the rescission of the acquisition of Access. No shares issued with respect to consulting services will be returned to treasury. The Company was unable to raise the capital necessary to pursue the development of Access and on September 3, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to rescind the Access agreement dated May 15, 2002 and to return 14,000,000 common shares issued, to treasury. Effective October 30, 2002, the Company cancelled and returned to treasury 14,000,000 acquisition shares. In addition, the Company cancelled 9,272,880 shares from the 12,598,500 common shares issued to creditors of Access in respect of the acquisition. The remaining 3,325,620 shares were deposited by two creditors as collateral and were not available for physical return to the Company. The Company is pursuing cancellation of the shares JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT WITH HUBEI ZENITH AIRBECK PHARMACEUTICAL CO. LTD. ("AIRBECK") On February 26, 2003, the Company identified a new business opportunity and on March 18, 2003 entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Red Dot Capital Inc.

These were issued from treasury on July 25, 2003. The company is to issue 2,000,000 post-consolidation, restricted shares of common stock in its capital as a finders' fee due and payable at such time as Airbeck assets are vended into the joint venture as referred to above. These shares were re-negotiated at a total of 1,500,000 common shares and issued on August 15, 2003.

The company is to assume all of Red Dot's obligations pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement with Airbeck. As further consideration of Red Dot's assignment of its interest in HBJV, the Company is to issue the following number of post-consolidation, restricted shares of common stock in its capital to Red Dot, or Red Dot's nominees appointed in writing, upon HBJV attaining the following cumulative, gross sales revenue: Gross Sales Additional Shares Amount to Be Issued ------------------------------ $ 5,000,000 5,000,000 7,500,000 2,500,000 10,000,000 2,500,000 12,500,000 2,500,000 15,000,000 2,500,000 ============================== Based on the Joint Venture Agreement between Airbeck and Red Dot dated December 23, 2002, the Amended HBJV Articles dated July 8, 2003 and the Supplemental Joint Venture Agreement between Airbeck, Red Dot and the Company dated July 31, 2003, the details of the joint venture are as follows: The Company owns a controlling interest of 57.14% in HBJV by agreeing to invest US dollar cash of $4,830,000 (RMB40,000,000), and to transfer its US dollar cash investment to HBJV as follows: - An initial 15% ($724,500) on or before October 22, 2003. - A further 35% ($1,690,500) on or before April 23, 2004. - A further 25% ($1,207,500) on or before April 23, 2005. - A final 25% ($1,207,500) on or before April 23, 2006. This amount is not recorded as a liability in these financial statements as it is contingent upon the Company raising funds for investment. The Company invested $278,000 and advanced $123,672 cash to HBJV before January 31, 2004. On February 28, 2004, the Company, the management of Airbeck and the board of HBJV subsequently arrived a memorandum to amend the abovementioned investment agreement. Based on this memorandum, the Company's cash investment schedule is changed to total cash investment should be invested in HBJV on or before April 23, 2006. Airbeck owns a minority interest of 42.86% in HBJV by investing intangible assets in the form of pharmaceutical production licenses valued at $3,381,000 (RMB28,000,000) along with machinery and equipment valued at $241,500 (RMB2,000,000). On January 16, 2004, an amended investment agreement was arrived between the Company and the management of Airbeck. Based on this amended investment agreement, Airbeck would retain $3,381,000 intangible assets of pharmaceutical production licenses. Instead of these intangible assets, Airbeck transferred $678,243 of inventory and $2,702,757 of plant, property and equipment, to HBJV. The values of inventory, plant, property and equipment contributed by Airbeck were assessed and appraised by Xiangfan Huaju Certified Public Accountant Co., Ltd., a qualified appraisal firm registered in Xiangfan, China. Total investment of $3,622,500 from Airbeck in the form of inventory, plant, property and equipment were transferred into HBJV except buildings are under the procedure of title transfer. Airbeck is presently in the procedure of privatization, and it is expected that the privatization process will take a number of months for approvals and finalization. Management agrees that the new ownership of Airbeck, after privatization, will own the 42.86% interest in HBJV. The detailed name of the ownership will not be known until finalization of the privatization procedure. Note 2. Development Stage Activities The Company is a development stage company as defined in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business for the Company by acquiring the operating Dosage Division of Hubei Zenith Airbeck Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and none of this joint venture corporation's planned principal operations have commenced at January 31, 2004. All accumulated expenses of $78,492 in HBJV are considered as part of the Company's development stage activities and are capitalized as deferred charges in the balance sheet. Also, all losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through invested cash from common stock issuances to meet its strategic objectives. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital. Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States ("USGAAP). (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the HBJV. The 42.86% interest in the HBJV owned by Airbeck is shown as a minority interest in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and intercompany balances have been eliminated. HBJV has not commenced operating activities; therefore, HBJV does not affect the statement of income. (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less. (e) Income Taxes Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statement at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation reserve to nil due to uncertainty of applying tax losses brought forward. As changes in tax laws or rate are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. (Note 14. Income Tax - The United States, below) Income Tax Exemptions and Reductions, relating to operation of the joint venture corporation in China are disclosed in Note 11. Income Tax Exemptions and Reductions - China, below. (f) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for stock-based compensation" permits the use of either a "fair value based method" or the "intrinsic value method" defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees" (APB 25) to account for employee stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common stock. Non-employee stock based compensation is accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123 - "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". No disclosures relating to stock based compensation have been included with the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, as all stock options were granted to directors and employees at exercise prices that were the same as or excess of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. (See Note 10 -- Summary of Options outstanding, below.) (g) Compensated Absences Employees of the corporation are entitled to paid vacations, sick days and other time off depending on job classification, length of service and other factors. It is impractical to estimate the amount of compensation for future absences, and accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The corporation's policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when paid to employees. (h) Net Profit (Loss) Per Share The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common share owners by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net loss per share are excluded. (i) Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments As defined in FASB 107, the company estimates whether the fair value of all financial instruments differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet, which need to be disclosed. The estimated fair values of amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. (j) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents which are not collateralized. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. (k) Long-lived Assets Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset in question may not be recoverable. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in these financial statements. (l) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The accounts of other currencies are translated into US Dollars on the following basis: Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange. The weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate revenue, expenses, and gains or losses from the functional currency to the reporting currency. The weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate revenue, expenses, and gains or losses from the functional currency to the reporting currency. The gain or loss on the of foreign currency financial statements is reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity and not recognized in net income. Gains or losses on re-measurement from the recording currency are recognized in current net income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in current net income. Fixed assets are measured at historical exchange rates that existed at the time of the transaction. Depreciation is measured at historical exchange rates that existed at the time the underlying related asset was acquired. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances is reported in the statement of cash flows as a separate part of the reconciliation of change in cash and cash equivalents during the period. (m) Revenue Recognition The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, in December 1999. The SAB summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. During the current year, the Company performed a review of its revenue recognition policies and determined that it is in compliance with SAB 101. (n) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, none of which are held for trading purposes. It is management's opinion that this Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments, as the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values/ (o) Segmented Information The Company's identifiable assets as are located in the following countries: APRIL 30, 2004 CANADA CHINA TOTAL -------------------------------- Current assets $632,659 $1,202,644 $1,835,303 Net fixed assets 6,988 3,031,340 3,038,328 -------- ---------- ---------- Total assets $639,647 $4,233,984 $4,873,631 ======== ========== ========== APRIL 30, 2003 CANADA CHINA TOTAL -------------------------------- Current assets $203,980 $ -- $ 203,980 -------- ---------- ---------- Total assets $203,980 $ -- $ 203,980 ======== ========== ========== (p) Property, Plant and Equipment Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded at the following rates, based upon the useful life of the assets: Office equipment - 20% per annum on the declining balance Computer - 30% per annum on the declining balance Leasehold improvement - Allocated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease Property, plant and buildings - 6% per annum on the straight-line basis Lease equipment - 7.14% to 12.5% per annum on the straight-line basis Fixed assets in the HBJV will record depreciation based on above rates when the operations commence.

Note 11. Income Tax Exemptions and Reductions - China The Chinese government provides a special tax incentive to encourage foreign investment. HBJV is a joint venture company and one of the investors is an American company thereby qualifying the joint venture for special income tax treatment under the provision. HBJV will be exempt from tax for the first two years and then benefit from a 50% reduction in income tax for a further three years. The corporate income tax rate, before the reduction, is currently 33% of taxable income. Note 12. Income Tax - The United States Actual income tax expense differs from income tax expense computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory corporate rate of 35% to pretax income as follows: April 30, --------------------- 2004 2003 ----------- -------- Provision (Benefit) at the statutory tax rate $ (42,080) $ 6,563 Increase in valuation allowance 42,080 (6,563) ----------- -------- Income tax provision. $ -- $ -- =========== ======== Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent on the Company's ability to generate taxable earnings in the future. The Company has $2,238,835 of net operating losses carried forward as at April 30, 2004. Note 13. Minority Interest The parent company theory is used almost exclusively in practice for disclosing minority interests in a consolidated balance sheet. Under the parent company theory, minority interests are not considered part of stockholders' equity and are disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet between the liability section and the stockholders' equity section. The Company owns a majority interest of 57.14% in HBJV and Airbeck owns a minority interest of 42.86% in HBJV. Airbeck's interest of $3,622,500 investment in HBJV is disclosed as the Minority Interest in the consolidated balance sheet. The joint venture corporation has not commenced operating activities; therefore, the statement of operations does not show any adjustment of the joint venture corporation. Note 14. Subsequent Events CHANGES OF JOINT VENTURE OWNERSHIP - -------------------------------------- As indicated in Note 1 above, Airbeck is in the procedure of privatization.

HISTORICAL REFERENCES, PARTICULARLY TO PERIODS PRE-DATING THE THREE AND A HALF YEARS SUBJECTED TO INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND INCLUDED IN THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTED HEREIN, ARE MADE TO THE BEST OF THE ABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO DETERMINE AND ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE; HOWEVER, ALL ENTERPRISES IN CHINA WERE PREVIOSLY STATE OWNED, THERE WERE NO PROVISIONS WITHIN CHINESE LAW FOR THE CREATION OF LEGAL CORPORATE ENTITIES AND NO REQUIREMENT THAT OPERATING BUSINESS BE SUBJECT TO INDEPENDENT REVIEW. SOURCES OF INFORMATION INCLUDED HISTORICAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE STATE DRUG ADMINISTRATION; INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN; INDUSTRY SOURCES; STATE, LOCAL AND MINUCIPAL OFFICIALS; AS WELL AS OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND STAFF IN THE OPERATING BUSINESS. THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED BY MANAGEMNT TO BE SIGNIFICANT AS ALL DUE DILIGENCE AND OPERATIONAL ASSESMENTS WERE MADE BASED UPON RECENT YEARS HISTORY DURING WHICH THE COMPANY HAS OPERATED WITH A MUCH SMALLER BUDGET THAN PERIODS COVERED BY THE HISTORICAL REFERENCES AND FOR WHICH DOCUMENTION IS MORE READILY AVAILABLE. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE READER ALSO REVIEW THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31st, 2003, THE QUARTERLY REPORTS ON FORM 10-QSB FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED APRIL 30TH AND JULY 31ST, AND OCTOBER 21ST, 2003 AND THE ANNUAL REPORT FILED ON FOR 10-KSB FOR TE YEAR ENDED JANARY 31ST, 2004. Managements focus with respect to its interest in the Hubei Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. joint venture(HBJV) for the first two quarters of the 2004 fiscal year will be to complete renovations and GMP certification of the tablet factory. It is essential that certification be completed by the end of the second quarter to comply with government regulations and to move beyond the limitations the renovations place on production capacity. Renovations are progressing on schedule, management are confident that they will be completed prior to the end of the second quarter as required. Concurrent with this we will continue to make improvements within its sales force and distribution network and to solicit orders and plan for the increased production capacity available in the second half of the fiscal year. HBJV will continue its discussion with the minority partner regarding expanding the scope of the joint venture operation to include other aspects of Airbeck's core business once privatization is complete. We are monitoring the progress of the privatization process carefully as part of an ongoing risk and opportunity assessment. While there is no contractual obligation to provide additional working capital in the 2004 fiscal year, renovations and certification of the tablet factory tax available working capital while opportunities to increase sales subject to the availability of inventory look promising. We will continue to discuss financing with interested parties and may provide HBJV with additional working capital through debt or equity in the current fiscal year, ahead of the schedule required by the joint venture agreement. Concurrent with this we continue to search for additional acquisition targets or joint venture opportunities and are considering several possibilities. Our near term goal was to complete the acquisition of an additional revenue producing interest within the current fiscal year and, ideally, to complement the product mix produced by HBJV rather than compete with it. We view HBJV as a solid foundation on which to grow based upon a range of low risk patented and generic pharmaceuticals with established markets and as a high quality production base with an existing distribution pipe and established branding. At the same time we see opportunities similar to those present in the Western world for pharmaceuticals to treat diabetes, certain types of advanced dementia, cancer and other diseases associated with an aging population, more stressful lifestyle and obesity. We believe there may opportunities to license or acquire an interest in products nearing the end of their development cycle at a fraction of the cost associated with new biotech development and without the risks associated with commencing long term research and development projects in an extremely dynamic market. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter the company entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% controlling interest in a new joint venture in China. The joint venture owns modern production facilities and has been in operation as a private enterprise since 2001 with a successful legacy prior to that as a state owned operation since 1975. Additional information is included in Item 5 of this report. In addition to a production and distribution base of 79 high-tech pharmaceutical products in injectable and tablet forms, the new joint venture expects, in its first year of operation, to complete patenting and production licensing of several biotech pharmaceuticals to be used in the treatment of Cancer and Diabetes. It is anticipated that production revenues from the new joint venture, Hubei Tongji Benda Ebei Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (HBBenda), will commence prior to the end of the second quarter and that it will contribute significantly to profitability in the current fiscal year. In addition to funds already advanced, the company has agreed to make additional payments to its minority partners with respect to acquisition of the controlling interest. This will require 4.2 million RMB (approximately $500,000) of additional financing in the current 2004 fiscal year and an additional 6 million RMB (approximately $725,000) in the 2005 fiscal year. The company does not have the reserves necessary to meet these commitments and will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt. Management is considering expressions of interest in providing the necessary funding from several parties and do not anticipate a problem meeting the commitments. ITEM 3.
