     This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, (the “2010 Annual Report”) are being mailed or otherwise provided to stockholders on or about May 13, 2011. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at No. 2, Jing You Road, Kunming National Economy & Technology Developing District, People’s Republic of China 650217 and its telephone number is 0086-871-728-2698.
 
No person who has been one of our directors or executive officers at any time since the beginning of the 2010 fiscal year, nor any nominee for director, nor any associate of the foregoing has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of stockholders, other than elections to the Board of Directors.

Solicitation
 
The cost of soliciting proxies, including expenses in connection with preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement, will be borne by the Company. The Company may engage a paid proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation. If we engage a proxy solicitor, we expect to pay approximately $15,000 plus out of pocket expenses for such services. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and custodians to forward to beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), held in their names. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and other employees may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, electronic communication and personal interviews. We will also reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners of our Common Stock.
 
Record Date, Voting Securities and Votes Required
 
Only stockholders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on April 26, 2011 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. On the Record Date, we had approximately 19,679,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Record Date on any proposal presented at the Annual Meeting.
 
The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the votes present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors (Proposal No. 1).  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal No. 2).
 
Abstentions may be specified on all proposals submitted to a stockholder vote other than the election of directors. Shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers, referred to as “broker non-votes,” are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether a particular matter has been approved by stockholders, but they are counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Shares which abstain from voting on a particular matter will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter and will have no effect upon the outcome of voting with respect to the election of directors, but will be counted as a vote AGAINST the ratification of Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
 
An automated system administered by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. tabulates the votes. The votes on each matter are tabulated separately.
 
To vote by mail, complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope, or vote using the toll-free telephone number or via the Internet by following the instructions included on the enclosed proxy card. No postage is necessary if the proxy card is mailed in the United States. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominees, they will give you separate instructions for voting your shares.
 
Under Delaware law, our stockholders do not have dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to any of the proposals being voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Proxies and Voting by Proxy and in Person
 
Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card and return it to us in the accompanying postage-paid envelope in time to vote, or timely vote using the toll-free telephone number or via the Internet by following the instructions included on the enclosed proxy card, one of the individuals named as your proxy will vote your shares as you have directed.
 
Certain stockholders may receive multiple sets of proxy soliciting materials, which indicates that such stockholder may hold his or her shares of Common Stock in more than one account, or that the shares of Common Stock themselves are registered in different ways. In such event, these stockholders should respond to all proxy requests to ensure that all shares are voted.
 
If you sign and timely return your proxy card but do not indicate how your shares are to be voted with respect to one or more of the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted FOR each such proposal and in the discretion of the individuals named in the proxy card with respect to any other matter that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof.
 
Any stockholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to our Board Secretary, or by appearing at the Annual Meeting and revoking his or her proxy and voting in person. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, we will give you a ballot at the meeting. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring a valid proxy from your nominee authorizing you to vote your “street name” shares held as of the Record Date.
 
Householding of Annual Meeting Materials
 
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our Proxy Statement or 2010 Annual Report may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household.  We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you write or call us at the following address or telephone number: China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc., No. 2, Jing You Road, Kunming National Economy & Technology Developing District, People’s Republic of China 650217, telephone: 0086-871-728-2698.  If you want to receive separate copies of this Proxy Statement or the 2010 Annual Report in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact the Company at the above address and telephone number.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth, as of April 26, 2011, certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, which is our only class of voting stock outstanding, based on 19,679,400 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, by:
 
 
·
Each person known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock;
 
·
Each executive officer;
 
·
Each director;
 
·
Each nominee for director; and
 
·
All of the executive officers and directors as a group.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days of the date of this report are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite their names, subject to community property laws, where applicable. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder listed in the table is c/o China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc., No. 2, Jing You Road, Kunming National Economy & Technology Developing District, People’s Republic of China 650217.

If for any reason any nominee does not stand for election, the proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will be voted in favor of the remainder of those named and may be voted for a substitute nominee in place of such nominee. We have no reason to expect, however, that any of the nominees will not stand for election at the Annual Meeting.
 
A biographical summary of our Director nominees is set forth in the section entitled “Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees” and is based upon information received by us from such persons. All of the Director nominees currently serve as Directors of the Company.
 
In selecting a particular candidate to serve on our board we consider the needs of the Company based on particular attributes that we believe would be advantageous for our board members to have and would qualify such candidate to serve on our board given our business profile and the environment in which we operate. The table below sets forth such attributes and identifies which attributes each director possesses.

Votes Required for Adoption
 
Except where authority to vote for nominees has been withheld, it is intended that the proxies received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted “FOR” the nominees named above. Nominees receiving the greatest number of votes duly cast for the election of directors will be elected to our Board of Directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast for the purpose of electing directors.

 
10

 
 
Our bylaws require directors to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Shares not present at the Annual Meeting and shares voting “abstain” have no effect on the election of directors. If a nominee who is serving as a director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, under Delaware law the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” If a nominee who was not already serving as a director were not to be elected at the Annual Meeting, under Delaware law that nominee would not be a “holdover director.” Each of the nominees is currently serving on the Board of Directors.
 
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH ELECTIONS UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Board of Directors
 
Subject to certain exceptions, under the listing standards of the NYSE Amex Equities, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), a listed company’s Board of Directors must consist of a majority of independent directors. We are exempt from this requirement because we are considered a “controlled company” pursuant to Section 801(a) of the AMEX Company Guide because one of our stockholders, Lan’s International Medicine Investment Co., Limited (“LIMI”), owns more than 50% of our voting securities. In addition, “smaller reporting companies,” as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 10(f)(1), are permitted to maintain a Board of Directors comprised of at least 50% independent directors. Our Board of Directors will have six members, three of whom are independent under the listing standards of the AMEX: Yunhong Guan, Jason Yuanxin Zhang and Xiaobo Sun.
 
During 2010, our Board of Directors held two meeting(s) and acted by written consent on two occasion(s). During 2011, through the Record Date, our Board of Directors held one meeting(s), and did not act by written consent.
 
The Board elected Yunhong Guan as Chairman of the Audit Committee, which is comprised of Mr. Guan and Mr. Zhang. During 2010 and through the Record Date, our Audit Committee held five meeting(s) and did not act by written consent.  Both members of the Audit Committee reviewed our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our 2010 Annual Report with management and our external auditors.
 
Our Board of Directors does not maintain separate nominating or compensation committees. As such, we do not have a compensation committee charter or a nominating committee charter. Functions and duties customarily performed by such committees are performed by a majority of our independent directors (Yunhong Guan, Jason Yuanxin Zhang and Xiaobo Sun) in compliance with the requirements for listing on AMEX. Such responsibilities include:
 
 
·
The design, review, recommendation and approval of compensation arrangements for our   directors, executive officers and key employees, and for the administration of any equity   incentive plans, including the approval of grants under any such plans to our employees,   consultants and directors;
 
·
The review and determination of compensation of our executive officers, including our Chief   Executive Officer; and
 
·
The selection of director nominees, the approval of director nominations to be presented for   stockholder approval at our annual general meeting and filling of any vacancies on our Board of   Directors, the consideration of any nominations of director candidates validly made by   stockholders, and the review and consideration of developments in corporate governance   practices.
 
In establishing compensation for our directors, executive officers and key employees, we do not rely on independent compensation consultants to analyze or prepare formal surveys for us. Executive compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. In establishing compensation for our executives, we strive to provide compensation that will: (1) motivate and retain executives and reward performance; (2) encourage our long-term success; (3) encourage the long-term enhancement of stockholder value; and (4) encourage the application of prudent decision making processes. Our independent directors may not delegate any functions and duties customarily performed by a compensation committee to any other persons.

 
11

 
 
At an appropriate time prior to each annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected or re-elected, and whenever there is otherwise a vacancy on the Board of Directors, our independent directors will assess the qualifications and effectiveness of the current members of the Board of Directors and, to the extent there is a need, shall actively seek additional well-qualified and available individuals to serve on the Board of Directors. Executive officers or any directors may identify a need to add a new director with specific criteria at any other time. Stockholders may identify a potential candidate for director in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The independent directors may hire an independent search firm to identify potential candidates for director in those situations where particular qualifications are required or where existing contacts are not sufficient to identify an appropriate candidate.
 
Board Leadership Structure
 
The Board of Directors currently combines the role of chairman with the role of chief executive officer, coupled with a lead independent director position to further strengthen the governance structure.  The board believes this provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company.  Combing the chairman and CEO fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment on corporate strategy.  To assure effective independent oversight, the board has adopted a number of governance practices, including a strong, independent, clearly-defined lead director role, executive sessions of the independent directors after every board meeting and annual performance evaluations of the chairman and CEO by the independent directors.
 
Board’s Role in the Oversight of Risk Management
 
The Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of risk management at the Company. Our Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function through the Audit Committee.  Under the leadership of our lead independent director, Yunhong Guan, our Audit Committee considers and addresses risk assessment and risk management issues and concerns, and reviews with management the Company’s material risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate such exposures.
 
Stockholder Communication
 
While the Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by stockholders, it has not actively solicited such nominations. The Board of Directors did not receive any such nominations from stockholders in connection with this Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees for election as a director named in this Proxy Statement was unanimously recommended by the full Board of Directors for submission to the stockholders of the Company as the Board of Directors’ nominees.
 
Code of Ethics
 
On June 7, 2007, our Board of Directors adopted the China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-KSB/A filed with the SEC on April 29, 2008 and is available on our website at www.shenghuo.com.cn.
 
Audit Committee
 
We established our Audit Committee in June 2007. Our Audit Committee has a charter, which is available on our website, at www.shenghuo.com.cn. The Audit Committee consists of Yunhong Guan and Jason Yuanxin Zhang, each of whom is an independent director. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to represent and assist our Board of Directors in its general oversight of our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of the financial statements and internal control and audit functions. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:
 
 
·
The appointment, replacement, compensation, and oversight of work of the independent   auditor, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent   auditor regarding financial reporting, for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report   or performing other audit, review or attest services.
 
·
Reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor various topics and   events that may have significant financial impact on our company or that are the subject of   discussions between management and the independent auditors.
 
The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert under applicable SEC rules and satisfies the AMEX standards for financial literacy and financial or accounting expertise or experience.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
 
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3600T and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Mr. Yunhong Guan
Mr. Jason Yuanxin Zhang
 
The foregoing Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing of our company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this Audit Committee Report by reference therein.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
 
Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“B&P”) began serving as the Company’s independent auditor on August 26, 2009.  The Audit Committee has appointed B&P as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 1 .
 
While we are not required to do so, the Company is submitting the appointment of B&P to serve as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, for ratification in order to ascertain the views of our shareholders on this appointment.  If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its decision.  Representatives of B&P are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting by telephone conference call, will be available to answer shareholder questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BERNSTEIN & PINCHUK LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR OF CHINA SHENGHUO PHARMACEUTICAL HOLDINGS, INC., AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH ADOPTION AND APPROVAL UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.
 
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The following table summarizes the fees paid to B&P for services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Audit Fees . These are fees billed for professional services rendered for the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports, services performed in connection with filings with the SEC and related comfort letters and other services that are normally provided by B&P in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.
 

1 The practice of B&P entered into a joint venture agreement with Marcum LLP and formed Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“MarcumBP”) in a transaction pursuant to which B&P merged its China operations into MarcumBP and certain of the professional staff of B&P joined MarcumBP as employees of MarcumBP. Accordingly, effective April 18, 2011, B&P resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and MarcumBP became the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.  For details of this change in the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, please see the 8-K filed on April 22, 2011.

 
14

 
 
Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditors and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditors for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditors.
 
The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

August 2006 Share Exchange
 
On August 31, 2006, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, as amended, we completed a share exchange transaction with Shenghuo China (the “Share Exchange”). Shenghuo China’s 93.75% shareholder, LIMI, exchanged 93.75% of the equity interest of Shenghuo China for the issuance of an aggregate of 16,255,400 shares of our Common Stock to LIMI and its designees. At the close of the Share Exchange, we became the 93.75% parent of Shenghuo China, we assumed the operations of Shenghuo China and its subsidiaries, we changed our name from SRKP 8, Inc. to China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. and LIMI became the holder of 80.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock. Gui Hua Lan, Feng Lan and Zhengyi Wang are directors of LIMI, are officers and directors of Shenghuo China, and were also appointed as executive officers and directors of the Company upon closing of the Share Exchange. In addition, Gui Hua Lan, Feng Lan and Zhengyi Wang own 62.42%, 5.15% and 1.45%, respectively, of LIMI’s issued and outstanding shares. Each of the foregoing persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by LIMI except to the extent of his pecuniary interest. Moreover, Lei Lan, our Assistant President owns 9.37% of LIMI’s issued and outstanding shares. Gui Hua Lan was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, Feng Lan was appointed as our President and as a Director, and Zhengyi Wang was appointed as our Executive Director of Import/Export, our Corporate Secretary and as a Director.
 
WestPark Capital, Inc. and SRKP 8, Inc.
 
Westpark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark”) acted as the placement agent for our August 2006 private placement transaction (the $1,800,000 equity financing conducted by us on the close of the Share Exchange). For its services as placement agent, WestPark was paid a commission equal to 9.0% of the gross proceeds from the financing, in addition to a 2% non-accountable expense fee, for an aggregate fee amount of $198,000. Richard Rappaport, our President and one of our controlling stockholders prior to the Share Exchange, indirectly holds a 100% interest in WestPark, an NASD member. Anthony C. Pintsopoulos, one of our controlling stockholders and an officer and director prior to the Share Exchange, is the Chief Financial Officer of WestPark. Debbie Schwartzberg, one of our controlling stockholders prior to the Share Exchange, is a noteholder of the parent company of WestPark; her note entitles her to a 1.5% interest in the net profits of the parent company of WestPark. Each of Messrs. Rappaport and Pintsopoulos resigned from all of their executive and director positions with us upon the closing of the Share Exchange. In addition, on May 26, 2005, the Company issued 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock to five accredited investors for aggregate cash consideration of $25,000. These five investors included Richard Rappaport, Anthony Pintsopolous, and Debbie Schwartzberg.
 
WestPark also acted as the managing underwriter for our initial public offering. Upon the closing of the offering in June 2007, we issued to WestPark warrants to purchase up to 40,000 shares of our Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $4.20, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits and similar transactions, and will expire after five years. The holders of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the warrants have the right to include such shares in any future registration statements filed by us and to demand one registration for the shares. In addition, we agreed to indemnify the underwriters against some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. We paid WestPark a non-accountable expense allowance of $42,000 and an underwriters’ discount of $161,000. We also agreed to retain WestPark at a rate of $3,000 per month as a consultant to assist us with stockholder and investor matters. The consulting arrangement expired 12 months after the closing of the offering.
 
Sale of Technology from Nanguo to Shenghuo China
 
Our subsidiary, Shenghuo China, was formed in 1995 as a limited company under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), with Kunming Nanguo Biology Source Development Institute (“Nanguo”) owning approximately 55% of Shenghuo China’s outstanding equity interests and Guangdong Maoming Huazhou Company (“Guangdong”) owning approximately 45% of Shenghuo China’s equity interests. In November 1999, Guangdong transferred all of its equity interests to Nanguo, which, as a result, became Shenghuo China’s 100% parent. Also in November 1999, Nanguo entered into an agreement with the Pharmaceutical Institute of Kunming Medical College (the “College”) to purchase the rights to the technology for the preparation of Sanchi, including the technology of extracting and separating the Sanchi from Panax notoginseng, analysis data, the conditions and methods of synthesizing, manufacturing and quality-control. Terms of the agreement required an initial payment of approximately $217,000 and a final payment of approximately $3.9 million upon receiving governmental approval and protection for the developed techniques. In March 2000, Nanguo made an additional net investment of approximately $1.3 million and a new investor, Yunnan Yunwei (Group) Co., LTD (“Yunwei”), made a capital investment of approximately $3.7 million into Shenghuo China, and in May 2002, a new investor, SDIC Venture Capital Investment, Co., Ltd. (“SDIC”), made an investment of approximately $483,000. In August 2004, Nanguo sold the rights to the technology to Shenghuo China for approximately $3.5 million, and in January 2005, Nanguo purchased all of the equity interests held by Yunwei for approximately the same amount, resulting in Nanguo becoming Shenghuo China’s 93.75% parent, and SDIC’s percentage holding in Shenghuo China became 6.25% of our outstanding equity interests. In 2006, Nanguo transferred its 93.75% interest in Shenghuo China to LIMI, and Shenghuo China was restructured into a Chinese Foreign Equity Joint Venture under the laws of the PRC. LIMI transferred its 93.75% interest in Shenghuo China to the Company pursuant to the Share Exchange, which was completed on August 31, 2006.

Purchase of Interests in Subsidiaries
 
On August 30, 2006, one of our officers agreed to transfer to us a majority of the officer’s equity interest in our subsidiary Kunming Shenghuo Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Medicine”) and another officer agreed to transfer to us a majority of the officer’s equity interest in our subsidiary Import/Export, leaving each of them with a 1% interest in the subsidiaries, respectively. We paid $24,980 for transfer of the interest of Import/Export and $249,800 for the transfer of the interest of Medicine. Taking into account the transfers, we own 99% of the equity interests in Import/Export and Medicine, respectively.
 
August 2007 Guarantee
 
On August 17, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement for RMB 50 million (approximately $6,651,094) with Shuang Long Branch of Agricultural Bank of China with a term of two years.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
 
We have established procedures for stockholders to communicate directly with the Board of Directors on a confidential basis. Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or with a particular director may send a letter to our Corporate Secretary at No. 2, Jing You Road, Kunming National Economy & Technology Developing District, People’s Republic of China 650217. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Stockholder-Board Communication” or “Stockholder-Director Communication.” All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board of Directors or just certain specified individual directors. The Corporate Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the directors addressed. If a stockholder wishes the communication to be confidential, such stockholder must clearly indicate on the envelope that the communication is “confidential.” The Corporate Secretary will then forward such communication, unopened, to the individual indicated.
 
Stockholder Proposals
 
Stockholder proposals may be included in our proxy materials for an annual meeting so long as they are provided to us on a timely basis and satisfy the other conditions set forth in applicable SEC rules. For a stockholder proposal to be included in our proxy materials for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on or about June 22, 2011, we must receive the proposal at our principal executive offices, addressed to the Corporate Secretary, no later than January 1, 2011 and such proposals must otherwise comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including, without limitation, Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act.

The SEC requires that we receive advance notice of any proposal by a stockholder intended to be presented at an annual meeting that is not included in our notice of annual meeting and proxy statement because it was not timely submitted under the preceding paragraph, or made by or at the direction of any member of the Board of Directors, including any proposal for the nomination for election as Director. To be considered at the 2011 annual meeting of our stockholders, any such stockholder proposal must be received no later than March 15, 2011, and discretionary authority may be used if untimely submitted.
 
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock, to file with the SEC an initial report of ownership of our Common Stock on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock on Form 4 or Form 5, as applicable. Officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
 
Based solely upon review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and representations from certain of our executive officers and directors that no other such reports were required, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2010 all of our executives officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners filed the required Section 16(a) reports on a timely basis.
