This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include statements
about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which
we indicate by words or phrases such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend,"
"plan," "will," "we believe," "our company believes," "management believes" and
similar language. These forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including those set forth in the discussion under Item 1, "Description of
Business" and Item 6, "Management's Discussion and Analysis", including under
the heading "- Risk Factors" under Item 6. Our actual results may differ
materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base
our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we
assume no obligation to update them. In addition, our historical financial
performance is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in
the future and we believe that such comparisons cannot be relied upon as
indicators of future performance.
Certain financial information included in this annual report has been derived
from data originally prepared in Renminbi (RMB), the currency of the People's
Republic of China ("China" or "PRC"). For purposes of this annual report, a
conversion rate of approximately US$1.00 to RMB 7.8 was utilized. There is no
assurance that RMB amounts could have been or could be converted into US dollars
at that rate.
PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
HISTORY
Global Pharmatech, Inc. ("Global" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
on June 26, 2001 under the name Autocarbon.com, Inc. After engaging, under prior
management, in several businesses unrelated to its current one, on February 9,
2005, Global acquired Jilin Tian Yao Science and Technology Limited Company
("JTY"), by acquiring JTY's parent, Natural Pharmatech, Inc. ("Natural"),
through the issuance to Natural's shareholders of 13,703,125 of its common
shares for all of the outstanding common shares of Natural. Located in
Changchun, China, JTY is a Chinese limited liability company, organized on
February 7, 2001, which, together with its subsidiaries, is principally engaged
in the research and development of modernized traditional Chinese medicine and
bio-pharmacy, the sale of this technology, and the manufacture and sale of
Chinese medicine and vitamins throughout China. Natural was incorporated in the
British Virgin Islands on February 2, 2004, and acquired JTY on June 15, 2004 by
issuing 43,800,000 of its common shares for all of the outstanding common shares
of JTY.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, these acquisitions are
considered in substance to be capital transactions rather than business
combinations. In each case, for accounting purposes, the acquired company is
deemed to have issued its stock for the net monetary assets of the acquiring
company. Each transaction is accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted
for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the
acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except
that no goodwill is recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the comparative
historical financial statements are primarily those of JTY and its subsidiaries.
On March 15, 2007, JTY acquired a 75% equity interest in Jilin Biotech, Inc.
("JBI") with RMB3,000,000. JBI is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of
dietary supplements.
On May 11, 2007, JTY entered into an Equity and Claim Transfer Agreement with
Mr. Daojun Wang pursuant to which JTY agreed to sell to Mr. Wang (i) JTY's 95%
equity interest in Jilin Yicaotang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd ("YCT"), consisting
of 9,500,000 shares of YCT and (ii) the RMB9,780,000 debt owed to JTY by YCT.
YCT is in the business of liquid dose medicine manufacturing and sales.
On September 7, 2007, Changchun Xiandai Technology Inc., a subsidiary of the
Company, changed its name to Jilin Tianyao Xiandai TCM Technology Limited
("JLXD").
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leader in China in the research, production and development of herbal
medicine, bio-medicine, chemical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM")
and dietary supplements using internationally-accepted scientific standards.
China's TCM annual sales reached US$25 billion in 2007. We market our expertise
in three major ways: sales of medicine and dietary supplements in convenient
dosage forms such as capsules and pills, revenues from technology transfer, and
revenues derived from conducting experiments and research for other companies.
TCM accounts for approximately 30% of all medicines sold in China.
THE EMPLOYEES
The Company currently has 217 full-time employees and no part-time employees.
None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We
consider relations with our employees to be good.
THE PRODUCTS
Our product line consists of 20 drugs and 2 dietary supplements. These are
primarily TCM-based prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs and dietary
supplements, including 2 western medicines. We sell our products through
distributors and directly to consumers through our own sales team. The following
is a list of some of our major products:
1
The XS CAPSULE (XIN-SHU) is a State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA)-approved
prescription drug indicated for the treatment of angina and other coronary
disease. It has been developed by using modern biotechnologies. Based on
clinical experience, we believe our product formulation could improve the
efficacy of this drug. The drug substances of XS were extracted from six Chinese
medical herbal materials. The safety and efficacy of these drug substances and
their combination were tested in previous clinical trials conducted in China.
The JUTAI SOFT CAPSULE is an SFDA-approved dietary supplement with 3 patents
including 1 innovation patent. Substances of this product are extracted from
American ginseng and ECHINACEA PURPUREA, a plant originally grown in North
America. This dietary supplement and energy provider was developed by us. As
shown in our own study, ECHINACEA PURPUREA may increase the concentration of
blood leukocyte and enhance general human immunity. In addition, Jutai is
approved for sale to combat fatigue and to enhance general human immunity.
QINGXUAN ANTI-HYPERTENSION TABLET is an SFDA-approved over-the-counter drug
product indicated for the treatment of hypertension and high serum cholesterol
level. The drug substance of Qingxuan is extracted from a single Chinese medical
herb, radish seed. The extract contains methyl mercaptan, erucic acid,
octadecatrienoic acid, nC13, Glycerol sinapate, raphanin, cyanidin and coumarin.
Pharmacology experiments showed that Qingxuan may reduce blood pressure in
several animal models. In a three-month toxicity study, after Qingxuan was
orally given to mice at ten to 40 times greater than a human clinical dose
(based on body surface areas), no mortality or organ toxicity was observed in
the animal tested. As an over-the-counter drug product, these tablets can be
marketed in China without prescription.
YANREQING TABLET is an SFDA-approved prescription drug to treat inflammation; it
is based on TCM which is aceepted by Chinese consumers to have less side-effects
compared to its western medicine counterparts.
In addition to these patented products, we manufacture and sell other
proprietary drugs, generics and dietary supplements used to treat symptoms
ranging from headaches, coughing and dry mouth to infections and numbness of
limbs.
PRODUCTION FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
The Company's approximately 5,502 sq.m. manufacturing plant contains
manufacturing capacity for over 300 million capsules, 200 million pills and
tablets and 50 million bags of granules annually. Its facilities are certified
as compliant with Chinese Current Good Manufacturing Practices, which are
governmentally-established current, scientifically sound methods, practices and
principles that are implemented and documented during product development and
production to ensure consistent and uniform manufacture of safe products.
Current Good Manufacturing Practices require the design and implementation of
standard operating procedures for each step in the manufacturing process,
beginning with the selection of raw materials suppliers and ending with storage
and shipment.
Our principal capsule supplier is Kanghua Medicine Supply Co., Ltd. and Yaofeng
Capsule Co., Ltd. Changchun Xinhai Wrapping Supply Co., Ltd. is our principal
source for medicine wrappers. Changchun Shenrong TCM Co., Ltd. is our primary
supplier of herbal raw materials. We have a number of other smaller suppliers of
raw materials and other materials. We believe that a loss of any of these
suppliers could be compensated for through arrangements with alternative sources
of supply.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
The Company has historically generated revenue from transferring technology
during various stages of development to other pharmaceutical companies, in which
it retains no ownership interest and for which it receives lump-sum payments
based on pre-established milestones rather than royalties or other compensation.
We plan to continue to do so with certain drugs, primarily in cases where
products are requested and selected by pharmaceutical companies that do not have
their own research facilities. For example, we currently provides services to
medium-sized pharmaceutical companies in northern China that have mature
manufacturing capacities and sales channels, but do not have similar research
and development capabilities. We have very good and steady relationships with
our customers.
We also plan to increase our focus in the future on manufacturing in-house
developed medicines in our own production facilities. We intend to target the
urban consumer market in China. Currently, sales are mainly through
distributors, such as wholesale companies and chain store representatives. We
also target the sale of our products to medical institutions, such as hospitals
and clinics.
Geographically, we focuses its sales efforts in Jilin, Heilongjiang, Liaoning,
Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other provinces in
China. The Company also sells to parts of Southeast Asia.
Our Chinese operating subsidiaries have received more than thirty commendations
since 2001 from various governmental agencies, including several commendations
related to the Company's technology and intellectual property.
We have many state-level and provincial-level research qualifications, some are
very rare in China, with these qualifications, the state and provincial
government will fund us for some of our researches.
2
COMPETITION
The Chinese pharmaceuticals market is highly fragmented and competitive. Market
entry is controlled, significant start-up costs and limited available facilities
may deter non-quarlified, inexperienced or undercapitalized entrants. We
anticipate that competition in this market will continue to intensify. Our
competitors include national and regional pharmaceutical promotion companies,
independent pharmaceutical research and development companies and pharmaceutical
distributors. We anticipate substantial new competition from foreign and
domestic competitors entering the Chinese pharmaceutical marketing and
distribution market.
Some of our competitors are more established, and have significantly greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Many also have
greater name recognition and a larger customer base. Our competitors may be
better able than we are to respond to new or changing opportunities and customer
requirements, undertake more extensive research and development, manufacturing
and distribution activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt
more aggressive pricing policies.
We believe we best compete with other pharmaceutical companies in China on the
basis of our modern facilities, talented research and development professionals
and comprehensive research and development and production resources. We believe
our facilities approach or meet Western standards and have sufficient capacity
to meet our research and development and production needs for the foreseeable
future. In contrast, we believe many Chinese pharmaceutical companies rely on
less stringent quality control measures, and do not have sufficient research and
development capabilities.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The law of China on the Administration of Pharmaceuticals was promulgated on
September 20, 1984 by the Executive Committee of the National People's Congress
and amended effective December 1, 2001. This law sets out the basic legal
framework for administration of pharmaceutical production and sale in China,
covering manufacture, distribution, packaging, pricing and advertising. The
Implementation Rules on the Administration of Pharmaceuticals were promulgated
effective September 15, 2002 to set out detailed implementation rules.
The State Drug Administration was established in 1998 as the Chinese
pharmaceutical regulatory authority, to assume supervisory and administrative
functions previously carried out by the Ministry of Health, the State
Administration Bureau for Pharmaceuticals and the State Administration Bureau
for Traditional Chinese Medicine. In March 2003, China's SFDA was established to
assume the functions previously carried out by the SDA. The SFDA's primary
responsibilities include:
* formulating and supervising the implementation of regulations and
policies concerning drug administration;
* promulgating standards for pharmaceutical products and medical
appliances;
* categorizing drugs and medical appliances for regulatory purposes;
* registering and approving new drugs, generic drugs and imported and
Chinese medicines;
* granting approvals for the production of pharmaceutical products and
medical appliances; and
* approving the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products.
Before any pharmaceutical distribution enterprise, including any wholesaler or
retailer, can distribute pharmaceutical products in China, it must obtain a
Pharmaceutical Distribution Permit issued by the relevant provincial or
county-level SFDA where the enterprise is located. Issuance of a permit is
subject to inspection of the facilities, warehouse, hygiene environment, quality
control systems, personnel and equipment of the enterprise and, when granted,
the permit is valid for five years. Enterprises must apply for permit renewals
no later than six months prior to expiration, subject to reassessment by the
relevant authority. Pharmaceutical distribution enterprises must also obtain a
business license from the relevant administration bureau for industry and
commerce to commence business.
Good Supply Practice standards have been established in China regulating
pharmaceutical wholesale and retail enterprises to ensure quality distribution
of pharmaceutical products. Currently applicable GSP standards, passed by the
SDA effective July 1, 2000, require wholesale and retail enterprises to
implement strict control of staff qualifications, distribution premises,
warehouses, inspection equipment and facilities, management and quality control
in order to obtain a GSP certificate to conduct business. GSP certificates are
valid for five years, after a one-year certification for newly established
enterprises. Renewal applications must be made no later than three months prior
to expiration, subject to reassessment by the relevant authority.
Pursuant to the Decision of the State Council on the Establishment of the State
Basic Medical Insurance System for Urban Employees and relevant Implementation
Measures, the Chinese Ministry of Labor and Social Security established a
Catalogue listing medicines covered by social insurance (the "Insurance
Catalogue"). The Insurance Catalogue is divided into Parts A and B. Part A
medicines are qualified for general application, and their content may not be
changed by local authorities. Provincial level authorities may make limited
changes to Part B medicines, resulting in some regional variations. Patients
purchasing Part A medicines are entitled to reimbursement of their costs from
the social medical fund in accordance with relevant regulations. Patients
purchasing Part B medicines are required to pay a predetermined proportion of
their costs.
3
Medicines included in the Insurance Catalogue are selected by the Chinese
government authorities based on factors including treatment requirements,
frequency of use, effectiveness and price, and are subject to government price
control. The Insurance Catalogue is revised every two years. In connection with
each revision, relevant provincial drug authorities collect proposals from
relevant enterprises, and the SFDA makes final revisions based on the
preliminary opinions suggested by the provincial drug administrations.
Medicine products included in the Insurance Catalogue and those whose production
or trading will constitute monopolies are also subject to government price
control. Maximum prices for these products are periodically revised by state and
provincial administration authorities. Prices for medicines not subject to price
control are determined by the pharmaceutical manufacturers, subject in some
cases to providing notice to provincial pricing authorities. Price controls are
set to create reasonable profit margins for pharmaceutical enterprises after
taking into account the type and quality of the products, their production
costs, prices of substitute products and other similar factors.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
Our own R&D efforts result in new drug patents which form the basis for some of
our products. We sell patented technology to other drug manufacturers when we
are unable to manufacture the products ourselves due to lack of appropriate
manufacturing facilities or choose not to because certain products are
incompatible with or duplicative of our current product mix or lack required
profitability criteria. We also provide research services, primarily through
contracts with other drug manufacturers which lack their own R&D capabilities.
Our R&D capabilities conduct almost all our pre-clinical trial research and
develop products according to consumer requirements, distinguishing us from many
of our competitors. R&D expenditures were US$714,152 for 2007 and US$693,786 for
2006.
We currently have a total of 33 patents applied, with 20 of them being granted.
Among these 20 granted patents, 15 are innovation patents. We have 10
trademarks, and are not a party to any license, royalty or franchise contracts.
We are currently focusing our development efforts on 32 drugs and 6 dietary
supplements.
Additionally, we have at least 14 drugs that have been approved for clinical
trial, and 10 drugs that have been approved for production.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
The Company through its subsidiaries, operates under 50-year ground leases
acquired from the Chinese government for lump-sum payments, an office building
and factory located at 509 Maoxiang St., Changchun (approximately 9,333.12 and
5,502.12 sq.m., respectively), including the 20,836 sq.m. of land on which they
are situated. The ground leases expire in 2050. The Company owns the buildings
and improvements on the properties, which will revert to the Chinese government
at the end of the relevant lease term in the absence of extensions.

BACKGROUND
Global Pharmatech, Inc. ("Global Pharmatech," the "Company", "we", "us" or
"ours") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2001 under
the name Autocarbon.com, Inc. On November 1, 2002, we filed a Certificate of
Ownership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware whereby we merged
with our wholly-owned subsidiary and amended our Certificate of Incorporation,
changing our name to Autocarbon, Inc.
On January 24, 2005, our company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with
Natural, a British Virgin Islands corporation, and the shareholders of Natural.
Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, we agreed to acquire 100% of
Natural's shares in exchange for 80% of our common stock, to be issued to the
Natural shareholders. Our acquisition of Natural was completed on February 9,
2005. In connection with this transaction, we amended our Certificate of
Incorporation on January 31, 2005, changing our name to Global Pharmatech, Inc.
Through our subsidiaries, we develop, manufacture and market proprietary drugs
and nutritional supplements that are based on traditional Chinese medicine.We
also offer a full range of "start to finish" biotechnology services, including
research and development, testing, manufacturing drugs in liquid and solid dose
forms, sales and marketing. We utilize unique extraction methods and innovative
techniques that have been developed by our research and development team. Our
core business is to leverage our patents and scientific expertise for
botanical/biological drug and nutritional supplements and to manufacture and
market the products to China and the globe. Our operations are currently
conducted in the People's Republic of China with sales distribution in China and
other areas in South East Asia. Sales outside China are made either directly to
foreign distributors by our subsidiary, Jilin Bencaotang Pharmaceuticals Co.,
Ltd. ("BCT"), or through China BCT Global Development Ltd. ("BCT HK"), which
sells on to those areas indicated above.
Natural was formed on February 2, 2004 under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands. Natural was formed as a holding company to own the five subsidiaries
that made up Natural's business operations. JTY is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Natural located in Changchun in Jilin Province of China. JTY originated as a
research department within the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun Traditional
Chinese Medicine College. It was organized as a separate private for-profit
entity in February 2001.
JTY has four subsidiaries: BCT, Jilin Tian Yao Drug Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd.
("JDE"), JDE and JLXD. JTY owns 75% of the shares of BCT, which was established
in September 2002 as a Sino-foreign joint venture with BCT HK, a Hong Kong
distributor of natural drugs. BCT is principally engaged in the manufacture and
sale of Chinese medicine of the solid dose type, and is capable of manufacturing
6
20 drugs in three forms. Our solid dose and capsule manufacturing,
pre-manufacturing and extraction plants received a national GMP (Good
Manufacturing Practice) certificate in April 2004.
JTY owns 99.5% of the shares of JDE, which was established in April 2003. It is
engaged in pharmacology, safety pharmacology, and short- and long-term
toxicology studies. JDE obtained a national GLP (Good Laboratory Practice)
certificate in December 2004.
During the first quarter of 2007, JTY and Natural purchased 50% and 25%,
respectively, of the equity interest in JBI, a Chinese company, for 3,000,000
Hong Kong dollars (approximately $385,000). The 25% owner invested 1,000,000
Hong Kong dollars. The US$ equivalent of approximately $125,880 is included with
contributions from minority interest in financing activities in the December 31,
2007 statement of cash flows.
Since inception, most of our revenue are derived from transfer of technology,
however, more and more revenue are derived from product sales in recent years;
this is consistent with our current strategy. We plan to shift more percentage
of revenue to product sales by increasing our product sales in the future years.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
REVENUE. Sales for the current year were $2,819,090, an increase of $443,579
compared with revenue of $2,375,511 in the same period of 2006. These revenues
were derived as follows: revenue from goods sold was $2,317,185, contract
revenue earned from the transfer of technology was $290,295and revenue derived
from experiments, research and related ancillary services was $211,610.
Contract revenue earned from the transfer of technology decreased $941,483, or
76%, compared with contract revenue in the same period of 2006, which totaled
$1,231,778. The decrease was due to the stringent policies on new drug approval
imposed in 2007 by the SFDA; which suspended new drug approval for a period in
2007. This had a significant impact on our revenue from technology transfer.
Another reason is that we had a large contract in 2006 which generated a large
portion of revenue, however, such contract did not exist in 2007.
Although the stringent policies impacted our revenue from technology transfer,
as noted above, sales at the Company's BCT subsidiary were particular strong in
2007, recording a sales increase of more than 80%, from$1,011,553 in 2006 to
$1,863,291 in 2007. This sales increase was due to the strong sales of Xinshu
Capsule and Jinlianhua Capsule, which had total sales of approximately
$1,030,000 and $270,000 in 2007, respectively. Their revenue accounts for 37%
and 10%, respectively, of consolidated total revenue, with gross profit
accounting for 28% and 8%,respectively, of consolidated total gross profit.
Revenue from experiment services increased $195,010 in 2007 compared to 2006,
from $16,557 to $211,567. This was due to the Company's continuous development
in this market.
In late 2006, the Chinese government made it mandatory that Chinese companies
that conduct pre-clinical trials for SFDA approval must use a GLP-certified lab.
The Company is one of only 22 labs in China that is qualified to provide
pre-clinical testing services for drugs that are to be approved by the Chinese
SFDA.
Although the Company has already been recognized for at least two years as
having one of the only GLP-certified labs to conduct clinical trials in China,
the fact that the Chinese government will now enforce mandatory compliance by
forcing companies to use GLP-certified trials effective January 1, 2007 gives
the Company a clear competitive advantage.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,502,841
compared to $788,560 for the same period of 2006. The increase is directly
associated with the increase of product sales.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,316,249,
compared to $1,586,951 for the corresponding period of 2006. The reason for the
decrease is that more of our revenue is derived from product sales for 2007, and
the gross profit margin for product sales is significantly less than that of
technology transfer.
ADVERTISING EXPENSES. Advertising expenses increased substantially, to $295,001
for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $67,869 for 2006. The increase
was due to the spending of JBI on the dietary supplements.
SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased to $106,784 for the year ended
December 31, 2007, as compared to $89,042 for the corresponding period of 2006.
The increase was due to the increase of product sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $1,390,164, compared to 1,759,989 for
the same period in 2006. The principal reason for the decrease is that the
Company increased operating efficiency by means such as better control and use
of assets and reducing staff by redefining and merging job responsibilities.
BAD DEBTS. In 2007, the Company had a bad debts provision of $1,302,024.
$1,099,061 is for the receivables from the sale of YCT and $202,963 is for other
receivables that are more than 1 year old. The Company intends to increase its
effort on collecting the receivables.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development (R&D) expenses for
2007 were $714,152, as compared to expenses of $693,786 for 2006, as the Company
continued to invest heavily in its product pipeline. The Company currently has
projects in various stages of completion, some in early stages and some that are
close to gaining approval to market.
7
In 2007, the Company completed 23 different research products.
MISCELANNEOUS INCOME. Miscellaneous income consists principally of government
grants.
Each year, the Chinese government provides allowances to help companies doing
business in medical pharmaceuticals research and development. These payments
vary according to the projects we are engaged in and the priorities of the
government in funding particular efforts. Accordingly, grants are
opportunistically granted and will fluctuate widely from period to period. In
2007, government grants totaled $211,715, compared to 2006's total of $167,318.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These
estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of
accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for Global Pharmatech include
the useful lives of property and equipment, the allowance for doubtful
receivables and revenue recognition.
We review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment at least
annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived
assets is measured by the comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted
cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its
fair market value.
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts
receivable, other receivables and related party receivables that are not
overstated due to uncollectibility. Bad debt reserves are maintained for all
customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the
receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company
becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, such
as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's
operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers
change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further
adjusted.
Contract revenues earned from the transfer of technology (licensing
arrangements) are recognized in accordance with contract terms. Revenue derived
from experiments, research and related ancillary services is recognized when the
customer accepts the service. Revenue from goods sold is recognized when title
has passed to the purchaser, which generally is at the time of delivery.
Government grants are recognized as other income upon receipt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2007, we had cash of $5,419,167 and working capital of
$3,887,459, and for the year we incurred a net loss of $3,298,906. During 2007
we used cash in operations of $383,938. The significant reasons for the use of
cash are:
* the loss from continuing operations for the year of $2,445,204;
* bad debts provision of $1,302,024;
* depreciation provision of $388,153;
* a decrease in other receivable of $401,741;
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we used cash of $153,275 towards the
purchase of fixed assets, with most of the money being used for office
equipments and transportation tools. In 2007, the Company obtained financing
cash of $125,880 from minority interest holders.
In 2008, the Company expects to spend $1,000,000 on the marketing of drug
products and dietary supplements and $500,000 on research and development. The
cash needed for such activities will be from regular operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance arrangements.
RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects are subject
to the following risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
foreseeable to us may also impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating
results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price
of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of
their investment in the shares of our common stock.
8
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. We were founded and commenced operations in
2001. Our operating history may be insufficient for you to evaluate our business
and future prospects. We have sustained losses in the past and cannot assure you
that we will become profitable or that we will not incur more losses in the
future. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we expand. We
will have significant operating losses if we fail to realize anticipated revenue
growth. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently
experienced by companies at a similar stage of development, including that we
may fail to implement successfully our business model and strategy, or prudently
adapt and modify them as needed; increase awareness of our brands, protect our
reputation and develop customer loyalty; competently manage our expanding
operations and service offerings, including integration of any future
acquisitions; maintain adequate control of our expenses; and anticipate and
adapt to changing conditions in our markets, government regulation, our
competition and relevant technology.
If we are not successful in addressing any or all of these risks, our business
may be materially and adversely affected.
WE HAVE HAD LOSSES IN THE PAST AND MAY HAVE FUTURE LOSSES. WE MAKE NO ASSURANCES
THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE PROFITABILITY. We have had operating
losses since completing our reverse merger in 2005. We will not be profitable
unless we materially increase our sales. The burden of our debt and current
interest liabilities makes it prudent to attract equity investment rather than
further debt to help us grow. Our new product development and management's
ability to successfully manage the business will be essential to achieving
consistent profitability. Although our revenues have grown in recent quarters,
this growth may not be sustained and we may never become consistently
profitable. As sales of goods grow and become a larger part of our total
revenues, we may experience smaller overall margins, as sales of our products
have higher costs of sales than our other revenue streams.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID CASH DIVIDENDS AND ARE NOT LIKELY TO DO SO IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the
operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances
dictate.
THE MARKET IN WHICH WE COMPETE IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, FAST-PACED AND FRAGMENTED,
AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN MARKET SHARE. We expect competition to
persist and intensify in the future. Our principal competitors are Tongrentang
and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, and we also compete with a number of other,
smaller firms. Both Tongrentang and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical are publicly-traded
companies that are substantially larger and have greater resources than Global.
We face the risk that new competitors with greater resources than ours will
enter our market, and that increasing competition will result in lower prices.
If we must significantly reduce our prices, the decrease in revenues could
adversely affect our profitability.
Our products must keep pace with developments in our industry or they may be
displaced by competitors' products. Our industry is characterized by rapid
product development, with significant competitive advantages gained by companies
that introduce products that are first to market, deliver constant innovation in
products and techniques, offer frequent new product introductions and have
competitive prices. Our future growth partially depends on our ability to
develop products that are more effective in meeting consumer needs. In addition,
we must be able to manufacture and effectively market those products. The sales
of our existing products may decline if a competing product is introduced by
other companies.
The success of our new product offerings depends upon a number of factors,
including our ability to accurately anticipate consumer needs, innovate and
develop new products, successfully commercialize new products in a timely
manner, price our products competitively, manufacture and deliver our products
in sufficient volumes and in a timely manner and differentiate our product
offerings from those of our competitors. If we fail to make sufficient
investments in research and pay close attention to consumer needs or we focus on
technologies that do not lead to more effective products, our current and future
products could be surpassed by more effective or advanced products of others.
We have limited control over the activities of our distributors, which generally
are not employed or otherwise controlled by us, are free to conduct their
business at their own discretion and may be dedicated more to establishing their
own reputations and business relationships than to promoting our products. By
the same token, the simultaneous loss of a number of our distributors could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
KEY EMPLOYEES ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR BUSINESS. Our senior management is essential
to executing our strategy. We will need to retain these people and attract
others to succeed. We require specialized professionals in a variety of areas,
some of which are addressed by relatively few companies. As a result, depending
upon how our business grows, we may experience difficulty in hiring and
retaining highly skilled employees.
We compete for qualified professionals with a number of Chinese research
institutions, some of which are more established than we are and have the
ability to pay more cash and other compensation than we do. Competition for
qualified individuals is intense, and we cannot be certain that our search for
them will be successful. If we are unable to hire and retain skilled
professionals, our business, financial condition, operating results and future
prospects could be materially adversely affected. We do not have key-person
insurance for any of our senior managers or employees.
ESTABLISHING AND EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT
MANAGEMENT ATTENTION. Substantially all of our current revenues are derived from
China. We intend to expand our international operations in Southeast Asia and
the United States, which, if not planned and managed properly, could materially
9
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Expanding internationally exposes us to legal uncertainties, new regulatory
requirements, liability, export and import restrictions, tariffs and other trade
barriers, difficulties in managing operations across disparate geographic areas,
foreign currency fluctuations, dependence on local distributors and potential
disruptions in sales or manufacturing due to military or terrorist acts, as well
as longer customer payment cycles and greater difficulties in collecting
accounts receivable. We may also face challenges in protecting our intellectual
property or avoiding infringement of others' rights, and in complying with
potentially uncertain or adverse tax laws.
We do not currently enter into forward exchange rate contracts to hedge some of
the financial risks of international operations, but expect to do so in the
future.
FLUCTUATIONS IN THE VALUE OF THE RMB RELATIVE TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES COULD AFFECT
OUR OPERATING RESULTS. Most of our operations are conducted in Hong Kong dollars
and Chinese Renminbi. To the extent future revenue is denominated in foreign
currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, we would be subject to increased risks of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that could have a material adverse
affect on our business, financial condition and operating results. The value of
Hong Kong dollars and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other
currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the
PRC's political and economic conditions. As our operations are primarily in
Asia, any significant revaluation of Hong Kong dollars or the Chinese Renminbi
may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial
condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into
Hong Kong dollars or Chinese Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of either
currency against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we
decide to convert our Hong Kong dollars or Chinese Renminbi into U.S. dollars
for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against either
currency, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the currency we convert would be
reduced. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging transactions in connection
with our international operations.
CHINESE FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROLS MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO UTILIZE REVENUES
EFFECTIVELY AND RECEIVE DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS FROM OUR CHINESE
SUBSIDIARIES. Our Chinese subsidiaries are subject to Chinese rules and
regulations on currency conversion. The Chinese government regulates the
conversion of the Chinese RMB into foreign currencies. Currently, foreign
investment enterprises are required to apply for authority (renewed annually) to
open foreign currency accounts governing conversion for payment of dividends,
limited capital items such as direct investments, loans, and issuances of
securities, some of which may be effected with governmental approval, while
others require authorization.
Our subsidiaries' ability to remit funds to us may be limited by these
restrictions. There can be no assurance that the relevant regulations in China
will not be amended so as to adversely affect our ability to obtain funds from
our subsidiaries.
OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE CURTAILED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN REQUIRED ADDITIONAL
FINANCING. ADDITIONAL FINANCING COULD ALSO RESULT IN DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS OR RESTRICTIONS ON OUR FINANCIAL DISCRETION. Since inception our
investments and operations primarily have been financed through sales of our
common stock and proceeds from our current sales. In the future we may need to
raise additional funds through public or private financing, which may include
the sale of equity securities or equity or debt securities convertible into or
exchangeable for our common stock. The issuance of these securities could result
in dilution to our stockholders. To the extent that we raise additional capital
by issuing debt securities, we would incur substantial interest obligations, may
be required to pledge assets as security for the debt and may be constrained by
restrictive financial and/or operational covenants. Debt financing would also be
superior to your interest in bankruptcy or liquidation. To the extent we raise
additional funds through licensing or other arrangements, it may be necessary to
relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or grant licenses on
unfavorable terms.
If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business growth strategy may
slow, which could severely limit our ability to increase revenue, and we may be
unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competition.
OUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT AND SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION ("SEC") RULES CONCERNING INTERNAL CONTROLS MAY BE TIME CONSUMING,
DIFFICULT AND COSTLY. Although individual members of our management team have
experience as officers of publicly-traded companies, much of that experience
came prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We have only
recently become a publicly-traded company. It may be time consuming, difficult
and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting
procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We may need to hire additional financial
reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and
implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are
unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley's internal controls requirements, we may
not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.
RISKS OF DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA
OUR OPERATIONS AND ASSETS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTIES. Changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the
imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion,
imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization
or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its
current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform
policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic
decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government
will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter
these policies from time to time without notice.
10
As China changes its economy from planned to more market-oriented, uncertainties
arise regarding governmental policies and measures. Although, in recent years,
the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the use of market
forces for economic reform, reduction of state ownership of productive assets,
and establishment of sound corporate governance practices, a substantial portion
of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. For
example, all lands are state owned and leased to business entities or
individuals through governmental grants of state-owned land use rights. The
grant process is typically based on government policies at the time of grant,
which can be lengthy and complex and may adversely affect any expansion of our
operations. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over
China's economic growth through allocation of resources, foreign currency
control and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or
companies.
Products distributed outside China are subject to government regulations of
different jurisdictions, which could be stricter than in China. In some
developed countries, the government regulations for product approval could be
stricter than in China, while in developing countries, government regulation
could be uncertain.
WE ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN LICENSES TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS IN MAINLAND CHINA.
Our activities must be reviewed and approved by various national and local
agencies of the Chinese government before they will issue business licenses to
us. There can be no assurance that Chinese authorities will continue to approve
and renew our licenses. If we are unable to obtain licenses or renewals we will
not be able to continue our business operations in China, which would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
WEAKENED POLITICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CHINA COULD MAKE US LESS
ATTRACTIVE. Sino-U.S. relations are subject to sudden fluctuation and periodic
tension. Changes in political conditions in China and the U.S. are difficult to
predict and could adversely affect our operations, and its future business plans
and profitability.
OUR OPERATIONS MAY NOT DEVELOP IN THE SAME WAY OR AT THE SAME RATE AS MIGHT BE
EXPECTED IF THE PRC ECONOMY WERE SIMILAR TO THE MARKET-ORIENTED ECONOMIES OF
OECD MEMBER COUNTRIES. The economy of the PRC has historically been a
nationalistic, "planned economy," meaning it functions and produces according to
governmental plans and pre-set targets or quotas. In certain aspects, the PRC's
economy has been transitioning to a more market-oriented economy. However, there
can be no assurance of the future direction of these economic reforms or the
effects these measures may have. The PRC economy also differs from the economies
of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development, an international group of member countries sharing a commitment to
democratic government and market economy. For instance:
* the number and importance of state-owned enterprises in the PRC is
greater than in most OECD countries;
* the level of capital reinvestment is lower in the PRC than in most
OECD countries; and
* Chinese policies make it more difficult for foreign firms to obtain
local currency in China than in OECD jurisdictions.
As a result of these differences, the combined company's operations may not
develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the PRC
economy were similar to those of OECD member countries.
THE ECONOMY OF CHINA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH, WHICH COULD BE
CURTAILED IF THE GOVERNMENT TRIES TO CONTROL INFLATION BY TRADITIONAL MEANS OF
MONETARY POLICY OR ITS RETURN TO PLANNED-ECONOMY POLICIES, ANY OF WHICH WOULD
HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON US. The Chinese economy's rapid growth has led to
higher levels of inflation. Government attempts to control inflation may
adversely affect the business climate and growth of private enterprise in China,
and may create a more challenging revenue and expense environment for our
business, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
CHINESE BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL LAW IS RELATIVELY RECENT AND REMAINS IN FLUX,
AND WE MAY HAVE LIMITED LEGAL RECOURSE UNDER CHINESE LAW IF DISPUTES ARISE UNDER
OUR CONTRACTS WITH THIRD PARTIES. The Chinese government has enacted some laws
and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and
governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. Its experience in
implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations, however, is
limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial
disputes is unpredictable. If our business is unsuccessful, or other adverse
circumstances arise from our business transactions, we face the risk that our
counterparties may seek ways to terminate the transactions, or, may hinder or
prevent us from accessing important information regarding their financial and
business operations. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the
exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the Chinese government, and
forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may
influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance,
or to seek an injunction under Chinese law, may be limited. Without a means of
recourse by virtue of the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent
these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN EFFECTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS, ENFORCING
FOREIGN JUDGMENTS OR BRINGING ORIGINAL ACTIONS IN CHINA BASED ON UNITED STATES
JUDGMENTS AGAINST US, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AND OTHERS.
Substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC, and our management
principally reside and have their assets there. As a result, it may not be
possible for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the U.S. or
elsewhere outside the PRC on our directors or executive officers, including with
respect to matters arising under U.S. federal or state securities laws. The PRC
does not have treaties providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
judgments of courts with the U.S. or many other countries. As a result,
recognition and enforcement in the PRC of such judgments in relation to any
matter, including U.S. securities laws, may be difficult or impossible. An
11
original action may be brought in the PRC against our subsidiaries' assets,
directors and executive officers only if the actions are not required to be
arbitrated by PRC law and the facts alleged in the complaint give rise to a
cause of action under PRC law. In connection with such an original action, a PRC
court may award civil liability, including monetary damages.
WE MUST COMPLY WITH U.S. LAWS PROHIBITING CORRUPT BUSINESS PRACTICES OUTSIDE THE
UNITED STATES, WHICH MAY PUT US AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE. We are required
to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S.
companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign
officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies,
including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions.
Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices
occur from time-to-time in mainland China. If our competitors engage in these
practices they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some
companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business, or from
government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses,
which would put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such
practices are illegal, we can not assure you that our employees or other agents
will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our
employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could
suffer severe penalties.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PRODUCTS
WE MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL UNINSURED LIABILITIES AND BE REQUIRED TO LIMIT
COMMERCIALIZATION OF OUR PRODUCTS IN RESPONSE TO PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWSUITS. The
manufacture, marketing and sale of our products entail inherent risks of product
liability. As a manufacturer of products designed for human consumption, we are
subject to product liability claims that use of our products has resulted in
injury. Some of our products contain vitamins, minerals, herbs and other
ingredients that are not subject to pre-market regulatory approval. Our products
could contain contaminated substances, and some of our products contain
innovative ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption.
Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these
ingredients could occur.
We may be held liable if serious adverse reactions from the use of our products
occur. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability
claims, we may incur substantial liabilities and damage to our commercial
reputation, or be required to limit commercialization of our products.
Our inability to obtain sufficient product liability insurance at acceptable
cost against claims could prevent or inhibit commercialization of our products.
We currently do not carry product liability insurance. We may not be able to
obtain insurance at reasonable cost, if at all. If we obtain insurance in the
future, it may not adequately compensate us for all losses that we may incur,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
CONSUMERS MAY NOT ACCEPT AND USE OUR PRODUCTS. Even if regulatory bodies approve
our products, consumers may not accept and use them. Acceptance and use will
depend upon a number of factors, including perceptions by the health and
nutrition community about their safety and effectiveness, changing consumer
preferences and trends, our products' cost-effectiveness relative to competing
products and the effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts by us, our
licensees and distributors, if any. Reimbursement for our products from
government or other healthcare payors is generally minimal, and any such
reimbursement is problematic, in that payors routinely challenge prices charged,
limit coverage and provide inadequate reimbursement, which would diminish market
acceptance of our products.
Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changes
in consumer trends, and we may not respond in a timely or commercially
appropriate manner to them. Because markets for our products differentiate
geographically, we must accurately assess demand in each specific market into
which we wish to make sales. If we fail to invest in extensive market research
on consumer health needs in each market we target, we may face limited market
acceptance of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our
sales and earnings. If we cannot compete successfully for market share against
other drug companies, we may not achieve sufficient product revenues, and our
business will suffer.
OBTAINING AND MAINTAINING NECESSARY REGULATORY APPROVALS FOR OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE
TIME CONSUMING, DIFFICULT AND COSTLY. IF WE FAIL TO DO SO, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO
SELL OUR PRODUCTS IN SOME AREAS. Our current products require and have obtained
regulatory review and approval for sale. We anticipate that future product
candidates we develop will also require such review and approval. Government
regulation includes inspection of and controls over testing, manufacturing,
safety and environmental standards, efficacy, labeling, advertising, promotion,
record keeping and sale and distribution generally. The required effort to
achieve approval may be time consuming, difficult and costly, and we cannot
predict whether such approvals would be obtained in particular cases. Regulators
have substantial discretion in approving products such as ours, and may either
decline to do so or require us to spend considerable effort to achieve a
different result. That process may also be delayed by changes in government
regulation, future legislation, administrative action or changes in policy that
occur prior to or during regulatory review. Delays in obtaining regulatory
approvals may delay commercialization of, and our ability to derive product
revenues from, the affected products, impose costly procedures on us, and
diminish any competitive advantages we may otherwise enjoy.
In addition, even after approval, regulated products are subject to continuing
review, reporting requirements and other compliance obligations. The discovery
of previously unknown problems with our products, our own manufacturing or
manufacturing by third parties, may result in restrictions on our products or in
their manufacture, including withdrawal of the product from the market.
Internationally, our products are subject to regulatory requirements that vary
by country. Obtaining approval to sell our products internationally involves
complexities of dealing with a variety of governmental regulations. We have
limited experience in dealing with the specific regulations that may be required
12
to sell our products in certain international markets, which could delay our
ability to obtain relevant regulatory approval for our products. In addition,
our product sales in other countries are subject to product regulatory regimes
of various degrees and direct marketing or distribution regulations. There can
be no assurance that our current operations will not be adversely affected by
compliance issues and changes in applicable laws and regulations in relevant
jurisdictions.
WE RELY ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF VENDORS TO SUPPLY RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED
GOODS FOR OUR PRODUCTS. Regulatory authorities also periodically inspect
manufacturing facilities, including third parties who manufacture our products
or our active ingredients for us, and may challenge their qualifications or
competence. Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities must comply with applicable
good manufacturing practice standards, and manufacturers usually must invest
substantial funds, time and effort to ensure full compliance with these
standards and make quality products. We do not have control over our contract
manufacturers' compliance with these requirements. Failure to comply with
regulatory requirements can result in sanctions, fines, delays, suspension of
approvals, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions,
manufacturing interruptions, costly corrective actions, injunctions, adverse
publicity against us and our products and criminal prosecutions.
If we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies of raw materials, if climatic or
environmental conditions adversely affect them or if they increase significantly
in price, our business would be seriously harmed. If any of our current or
future third-party suppliers cease to supply products in the quantity and
quality we need to manufacture our products, or if they are unable to comply
with applicable regulations, the qualification of other suppliers could be a
lengthy process, and there may not be adequate alternatives to meet our needs.
As a result, we may not be able to obtain the necessary ingredients used in our
products in the future on a timely basis, if at all. This would negatively
affect our business.
MANUFACTURING RISKS. There are risks associated with ingredients mixing and
production processes and techniques. Our manufacturing process requires a
significant degree of technical expertise. If we fail to manufacture our
products to specifications or inadvertently use defective materials in the
manufacturing process, the reliability and performance of our products will be
compromised.
Any significant disruption in our manufacturing operations for any reason, such
as regulatory requirements and loss of certifications, power interruptions,
fires, hurricanes, war or other force majeure, could adversely affect our sales
and customer relationships.
IF WE FAIL TO PROTECT ADEQUATELY OR ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR
TO SECURE RIGHTS TO PATENTS OF OTHERS, THE VALUE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS COULD DIMINISH. Our success, competitive position and revenues will
depend in part on our ability, and the ability of our licensors, to obtain and
maintain patent or other intellectual property protection for our products,
methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, to
prevent third parties from infringing on our proprietary rights and to operate
without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
Our patents, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks and similar intellectual
property are critical to our success. We rely on patent, trademark and trade
secret law, as well as confidentiality and license agreements with our
employees, customers, partners and others, to protect our proprietary rights. We
have received patent protection for certain of our products in the People's
Republic of China. We have not applied for any patent or other protection in
countries other than China. We cannot predict the degree and range of protection
patents or other intellectual property rights will afford us against
competitors, including whether third parties will find ways to invalidate or
otherwise circumvent our patents, if and when patents will issue, whether or not
others will obtain patents claiming aspects similar to ours, or if we will need
to initiate litigation or administrative proceedings, which may be costly
whether we win or lose.
Our success also depends on the skills, knowledge and experience of our
employees, consultants, advisors, licensors and contractors. To help protect our
proprietary know-how and inventions for which patents may be unobtainable or
difficult to obtain, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality
agreements. To this end, we require all of our employees, consultants, advisors
and contractors to enter into confidentiality and, where applicable, grant-back
agreements. These agreements may not provide adequate protection in the event of
unauthorized use or disclosure or the lawful development by others of such
information. If any of our intellectual property is disclosed, its value would
be significantly impaired, and our business and competitive position would
suffer.
IF WE INFRINGE THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, WE COULD BE PREVENTED FROM SELLING
PRODUCTS, FORCED TO PAY DAMAGES, AND COMPELLED TO DEFEND AGAINST LITIGATION. We
could also incur substantial costs, and have to obtain licenses, which may not
be available on commercially reasonable terms (if at all), redesign our products
or processes, stop using the subject matter claimed in the asserted patents, pay
damages or defend litigation or administrative proceedings. All these may be
costly, whether we win or lose, and could result in a substantial diversion of
valuable management resources.
We believe we do not infringe others' proprietary rights. However, we cannot
guarantee that no third party will claim infringement in the future. Resolving
such issues traditionally has resulted, and could in our case result, in lengthy
and costly legal proceedings, the outcome of which cannot be predicted
accurately.
RISK RELATED TO MANAGEMENT
THE CONCENTRATED OWNERSHIP OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK MAY BE AT ODDS WITH YOUR
INTERESTS, AND HAVE THE EFFECT OF DELAYING OR PREVENTING A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF
OUR COMPANY. Our directors, officers, key personnel and their affiliates as a
group beneficially own or control the vote of approximately 69% of our
outstanding capital stock, and control the Company. They will be able to
continue to exercise significant influence over all matters affecting the
Company, including the election of directors, formation and execution of
13
business strategy and approval of mergers, acquisitions and other significant
corporate transactions, which may have an adverse effect on the stock price.
They may have conflicts of interest and interests that are not aligned with
yours in all respects.
MANAGEMENT IS INEXPERIENCED IN RUNNING A U.S. PUBLIC COMPANY. We are managed by
a management team that is relatively unfamiliar with the capital market and the
processes by which a U.S. public company should be managed and operated.
Management is currently making efforts to familiarize itself with the relevant
laws, rules and regulations and market practice, but there can be no assurance
that it can master the relevant knowledge and skills and set up the required
systems in time to prevent mistakes and to meet shareholder and market
expectations.
WE MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE OUR GROWTH. Our success will depend upon the
expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, which
will place a significant strain on our management and administrative,
operational, and financial resources. To manage this growth, we must expand our
facilities, augment our operational, financial and management systems, and hire
and train additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to manage our growth
effectively, our business would be harmed.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our Financial Statements together with the independent auditor's report thereon
are included on pages F-1 through F-14 hereof.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
There have been no disagreements with our independent auditors on accounting and
financial disclosure matters.
ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined under
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objective, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance our management
necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based upon their evaluation and subject to
the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that as of December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that material
information relating to us is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer by others within our company during the period in which
this report was being prepared.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual
report.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
based on the framework in INTERNAL CONTROL - INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that during the period covered by this report, our internal controls
over financial reporting were effective.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only
provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation
and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future
periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions in the future.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.
ITEM 8B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by applicable law, our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our
officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents. This includes
indemnification against attorneys' fees and other expenses and liabilities they
incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against
them arising out of their association with or activities on behalf of our
company. However, they will not be indemnified if they are adjudged to have
acted with gross negligence, engaged in willful misconduct, knowingly violated
the law, breached their duty of loyalty or received improper personal benefit.
We will bear the expenses of such litigation for any such persons upon their
promise to repay such sums if it is ultimately determined that they are not
entitled to indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to our directors,
officers and controlling persons (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange
Act) pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
CODE OF ETHICS

However, the Company believes that the employment and service contracts that the
Company has entered into with each of its executive officers and directors
contain provisions which promote the ethical conduct of such persons in their

in the performance of such duties or services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF GLOBAL PHARMATECH INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Pharmatech
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Pharmatech
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period then
ended in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

GLOBAL PHARMATECH, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1. THE COMPANY
Global Pharmatech, Inc. ("Global" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
on June 26, 2001 under the name Autocarbon.com, Inc. After engaging, under prior
management, in several businesses unrelated to its current one, on February 9,
2005, Global acquired Jilin Tian Yao Science and Technology Limited Company
("JTY"), by acquiring JTY's parent, Natural Pharmatech, Inc. ("Natural"),
through the issuance to Natural's shareholders of 13,703,125 of its common
shares for all of the outstanding common shares of Natural. Located in
Changchun, China, JTY is a Chinese limited liability company, organized on
February 7, 2001, which, together with its subsidiaries, is principally engaged
in the research and development of modernized traditional Chinese medicine and
bio-pharmacy, the sale of this technology, and the manufacture and sale of
Chinese medicine and vitamins throughout China. Natural was incorporated in the
British Virgin Islands on February 2, 2004, and acquired JTY on June 15, 2004 by
issuing 43,800,000 of its common shares for all of the outstanding common shares
of JTY.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, these acquisitions are
considered in substance to be capital transactions rather than business
combinations. In each case, for accounting purposes, the acquired company is
deemed to have issued its stock for the net monetary assets of the acquiring
company. Each transaction is accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted
for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the
acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except
that no goodwill is recorded.
During the first quarter of 2007, JTY and Natural purchased 50% and 25%,
respectively, of the equity interest in Jilin Biotech Co., Ltd ("BIO"), a
Chinese company, for $3,000,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately $385,000). The
25% owner invested $1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars. The US$ equivalent of
approximately $125,880 is included with contributions from minority interest in
financing activities in the December 31, 2007 statement of cash flows.
On May 11, 2007, the Company entered into an Equity and Liability Transfer
Agreement to sell JTY's 95% equity interest in one of its Chinese subsidiaries,
Jilin Yi Cao Tang Pharmacy Co., Ltd ("YCT"), to Mr. Daojun Wang for a price of
RMB9,000,000 (approximately $1,197,000) The following table details the payment
schedule for the sale:
Due Date Amount Due (in RMB)
-------- -------------------
3 days after signing this agreement 500,000 (approximately $66,500)
May 30, 2007 500,000 (approximately $66,500)
November 30, 2007 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
May 30, 2008 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
November 30, 2008 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
May 30, 2009 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
November 30, 2009 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
May 30, 2010 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
November 30, 2010 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
May 30, 2011 1,000,000 (approximately $133,000)
|
The Company has converted the receivable to present value using a 5% discount
rate. The total discounted amount is $60,778, and this will be amortized over
the life of payment schedule (see Note 2N).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the
accounts of Global and its majority-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007
and for the two years in the period then ended. All significant inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported
periods. Significant estimates include depreciation and allowance for doubtful
receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of
December 31, 2007 the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
D. INVENTORY
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Substantially all
inventory costs are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Overhead has been allocated to inventory.
F-7
GLOBAL PHARMATECH, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
E. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
provided principally by use of the straight-line method over the useful lives of
the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not
improve or extend the expected useful life of the assets, are expensed to
operations while major repairs are capitalized. The Company uses a residual
value when computing depreciation.
F. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (`SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
G. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Contract revenues earned from the transfer of technology (licensing
arrangements) are recognized in accordance with contract terms. Such revenues
were approximately $290,295 and $1,232,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006, respectively.
Revenue derived from experiments, research and related ancillary services is
recognized when the customer accepts the service. Such revenues were
approximately $211,610 and $16,600 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Revenue from goods sold is recognized when title has passed to the purchaser,
which generally is at the time of delivery. Such revenues were approximately
$2,317,185 and $1,220,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Government grants are recognized as other income upon receipt. Such revenues
were approximately $211,715 and $167,000 for the years ended 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
H. IMPAIRMENT
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" the Company evaluates its long-lived assets to determine
whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives
or a reduction in carrying value due to impairment. If indicators of impairment
exist and if the value of an asset is impaired, an impairment loss would be
recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its
carrying value.
I. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of JTY and its subsidiaries is the Chinese Yuan (RMB)
and their reporting currency is the US dollar. JTY's consolidated balance sheet
accounts are translated into US dollars at the period-end exchange rate and
revenue and expenses are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rate
prevailing during the period in which these items arise. Translation gains and
losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income
in shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange
rate fluctuations affecting transactions denominated in a currency other than
the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.
The transaction gains and losses were immaterial for the years ended December
31, 2007 and 2006.
The Chinese government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund
transfers out of China that are not related to business operations. These
restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not
engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.
J. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the
Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation
adjustments.
K. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments", requires
disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments that
are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the
financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the
amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount
consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.
F-8
GLOBAL PHARMATECH, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
For certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts, related party and
other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses and
short term debt, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value
because of the near term maturities of such obligations. For long-term debt, the
carrying amount is assumed to approximate fair value based on the current rates
at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
L. ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs for
each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are approximately $295,001
and $68,000, respectively.
M. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for
the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities
by including other potential common stock, including stock options and warrants,
in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if
dilutive.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no common stock equivalents.
N. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts
receivable, related party receivables and other receivables that are not
overstated due to uncollectibility. Bad debt reserves are maintained for all
customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the
receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company
becomes aware of a customer's or debtor's inability to meet its financial
obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the
customer's operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to
customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables
would be further adjusted. As of December 31, 2007, the allowance for doubtful
accounts are approximately $46,789 for accounts receivable, $1,553,771 for
related party receivable and $41,133 for other receivables. The 2007 bad-debt
provision is mainly for the $1,140,000 accounts receivable of sales of YCT,
which represents the full balance of this receivable at December 31, 2007.
O. APPROPRIATED RETAINED EARNINGS
In accordance with Chinese regulations, the Company's Chinese subsidiaries must
appropriate 15% of their annual profits as computed under Chinese generally
accepted accounting principles, which is reflected in the consolidated financial
statements as appropriated retaining earnings and which, at December 31, 2007,
had a $237,502 balance.
3. INVENTORY
Inventory is comprised of the following:
December 31, 2007

Raw materials $298,403

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006 was approximately $388,200 and $341,800 respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expenses included in research and development, and
general and administrative expenses were approximately $321,900, and $66,300,
respectively, for 2007. For 2006, such expenses were approximately $183,400 and
$158,400, respectively.
5. INCOME TAXES
The deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2007 is immaterial and is included
with other liabilities.
A reconciliation between taxes computed at the Chinese statutory rate of 15% and
the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:
2007 2006
--------- ---------
Income tax(benefit) on pretax income (loss)
at statutory rate $(494,836) $(185,159)
Effect of income tax exemption $(494,836) $(185,159)
Income tax at effective rate $ 0 $ 0
|
As at December 31, 2007, the Company had accumulated net operating loss
carryforwards for United States federal tax purposes of approximately $1,123,000
that are available to offset future taxable income. Realization of the net
operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon future profitable operations. In
addition, the carryforwards may be limited upon a change of control in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as amended. Accordingly,
management has increased the valuation allowance by $96,200 in current year to
reduce the deferred tax asset of approximately $393,000 associated with the net
operating loss carryforwards to zero at December 31, 2007.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had accumulated net
operating loss carryforwards for Chinese tax purposes of approximately
$1,321,000 and $848,000, respectively. Realization of the Chinese tax net
operating loss carryforwards is dependent on future profitable operations, as
well as a maximum five-year carryforward period. Accordingly, management has

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax associated with the
net operating loss carryforwards to zero at December 31, 2007. These tax losses
yield deferred tax assets of approximately $198,000 and $67,000, respectively,
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Valuation allowance of an equal amount has
been recorded as of December 31, 2007.The valuation allowance has increased
approximately $131,000 from 2006 to 2007.
The Company and each of its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns. JTY
qualifies as a "high-technology foreign joint venture" which entitles it to an
exemption from PRC income tax for two years beginning with its first profitable
year. Since its first profitable year was 2005, JTY is entitled to an exemption
from PRC tax for the years 2005 and 2006. Because JTY qualifies as a
"high-technology joint venture" and is located in an economic development zone,
it is entitled to a reduced tax rate of 10% for the three years beginning in
2007 through 2009. Thereafter, it will be taxed at the standard income tax rate
of 15%.
Jilin BCT Pharmacy Company, Ltd ("BCT") is a "wholly-owned foreign venture"
which entitles it to an exemption from PRC income tax for two years beginning
with its first profitable year. After these two years, it is entitled to a
reduced income tax rate of 10% for three additional years. After these three
years, it will be taxed at the standard income tax rate for a "wholly-owned
foreign venture" of 15%.
Jilin Tian Yao Drug Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd ("JDE") is a "high technology
joint venture" and is exempt from income taxes for two years beginning with its
first profitable year. It is thereafter taxed at a standard income tax rate of
15%.
XD is considered a "high technology joint venture" and so is entitled to full
exemptions from income tax for two years, beginning with its first profitable
year. Thereafter, it is assessed at the standard income tax rate for joint
ventures of 15%.
BIO is a "foreign joint venture" which entitles it to an exemption from PRC
income tax for two years beginning with its first profitable year. After these
two years, it is entitled to a tax rate of 15% for three additional years.
The Company is also subject to value added tax (VAT), business tax and surtax
totaling 5.5 percent of gross sales.
The Company is still in the full-tax-exemption period for the Chinese
subsidiaries which reported positive net income for the year ended December 31,
2007, and therefore no tax was due for the period.

there. Although China is considered economically stable, it is possible that
unanticipated events there or in foreign countries could disrupt the Company's
operations.

in banks of approximately $5,419,167. The Company does not require collateral or
other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit
risk.

purchased technology and self-developed patents. No patent has any significant
residual value. Each patent has an estimated useful life of twenty years but the
legal rights are limited to ten years by the Chinese government, therefore, the
Company uses five to ten years as its amortization period. Amortization expense
was approximately $28,005 and $18,700 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The accumulated amortization was approximately $98,203 and $67,700 as of

11. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
On December 26, 2006, the Company's stockholders adopted and approved the
Company's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to
attract and retain qualified individuals for positions of substantial
responsibility with the Company and to provide incentives to such individuals to
promote the success of the Company's business. The Plan will initially be
administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. A maximum of 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance pursuant to options,
restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and/or performance stock
(collectively, "Awards") under the Plan. Awards may be granted to all employees,
officers and directors of and consultants or advisor to the Company and its
subsidiaries. To date, no Awards have been granted under the Plan.
12. INVESTMENT IN LAND LEASE
As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a parcel of land leased from the Chinese
government. The term of the lease is fifty years. The consideration under the
agreement amounts to approximately $485,000. The Company classifies the lease
as operating and therefore amortizes the cost using the straight-line method
over the life of the lease. Rent expense was approximately $10,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2006 and $13,500 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2007 was approximately $69,100. The
estimated amount of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal
years is $13,500 annually.
13. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), which provides enhanced
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This standard
also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on
earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand
the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 12, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We
are currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS157 will have a material
effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, "Employer's Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded
or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial
position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the
changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in
unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. The standard also
requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of
its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An
employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to
provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is
required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after June 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

SFAS NO. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL
LIABILITIES - INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. This Statement
provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, with early
adoption available in certain circumstances.
SFAS NO. 141 (REVISED), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. SFAS No. 141R broadens the
guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and
other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business
combinations. SFAS No. 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the
statement users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of
business combinations.
SFAS NO. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - AN
AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in
subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent are to be included in the
equity section of the balance sheet, but apart from the parent's equity. All
changes in the parent's ownerhsip interest in a subsidiary are to be accounted
for as equity transactions. Any retained noncontrolling equity interest in a
deconsolidated subsidiary is to be initially measured at fair value, with any
gain or loss on consolidation measured using this fair value.
SFAS NO. 161,DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVIATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -
AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced
disclosures for all derivative instruments and hedging activities covered by
SFAS No. 133.
SFAS NOSOP NO. 07-01, CLARIFICATION OF THE SCOPE OF THE AUDIT AND ACCOUNTING
GUIDE "INVESTMENT COMPANIES" AND ACCOUNTING BY PARENT COMPANIES AND EQUITY
METHOD INVESTORS FOR INVESTMENTS IN INVESTMENT COMPANIES. SOP 07-01 provides
guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA
Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies. The provisions of the SOP are
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, with earlier
application encouraged. As of December 1, 2007 the FASB has proposed an
indefinite deferral of this SOP.
EITF ISSUE NO. 06-11, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAX BENEFITS OF DIVIDENDS ON
SHARE-BASED PAYMENT AWARDS. In this Issue, a consensus was reached that a
realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are
charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified
nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units, and outstanding equity
share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital.
This Issue should be applied prospectively to the income tax benefits that
result from dividends on equity-classified employee share-based payment awards
that are declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.
FSP NO. FAS 158-1, CONFORMING AMENDMENTS TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS IN FASB STATEMENTS
NO. 87, NO. 88, AND NO. 106 AND TO THE RELATED STAFF IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES. This
FSP provides conforming amendments to the illustrations in FASB Statements No.
87, 88, and 106 and to related staff implementation guides as a result of the
issuance of FASB Statement No. 158. The conforming amendments made by this FSP
are effective as of the effective dates of Statement No. 158. The unaffected
guidance that this FSP codifies into Statements No. 87, 88, and 106 does not
contain new requirements and therefore does not require a separate effective
date or transition method.
FSP NO. FIN 46(R)-7, APPLICATION OF FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 46(R) TO INVESTMENT
COMPANIES. This FSP addresses the application of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No.
46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, by an
entity that accounts for its investments in accordance with the specialized
accounting guidance in the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment
Companies. The provisions of the FSP are effective when the entity adopts SOP
07-01.
SEC STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 109, WRITTEN LOAN COMMITMENTS RECORDED AT FAIR
VALUE THROUGH EARNINGS. SAB 109 expresses the current view of the staff that the
expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan
should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are
accounted for at fair value through earnings. SEC registrants are expected to
apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative
loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December
15, 2007.
14. OTHER RECEIVABLE AND PREPAYMENT
