PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights some information from this prospectus, and it may not contain all of the information that is important to you.  You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding our company and the common stock being sold in this offering, including "Risk Factors" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.

 

China Biologic Products, Inc.

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company and through our indirect majority-owned Chinese subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, we are principally engaged in the research, development, production and manufacturing of plasma-based pharmaceutical products in China.  Shandong Taibang operates from our manufacturing facility located in Taian City, Shandong Province.

 

 

       The plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is highly restricted by both the state and central governments.  Accordingly, the manufacturing process of our products is strictly monitored from plasma collection from human donors to finished products.  The time required to build, furnish and obtain the operating permit for a plasma collection station could take up a year or more, depending on the time spent obtaining a plasma collection permit from the Health Department.  In addition, it could take a prospective manufacturer between 2 – 5 years to build a manufacturing plant and obtain the relevant state and local approval to sell its plasma products.  A prospective manufacturer must first obtain a Production Permit from the Provincial Food and Drug Authority and a Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, certificate from the PRC State Food and Drug Authority, or the SFDA. Each product category has to be separately approved by the SFDA, and a manufacturer may not sell its product before obtaining relevant SFDA approval. The cost of obtaining state and local approval depends on the scale and technical ability of the manufacturer. We have been approved by the state to collect plasma from human donors and manufacture and sell plasma-based biopharmaceutical products in Shandong Province.

Our principal products include our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products.  We are currently approved to produce 14 biopharmaceutical products in seven major categories as follows: 
 

Approved Products (1)(2)

1. " %" represents the degree of dosage concentration for the product and each product has its own dosage requirement. For example, Human Albumin 20%/10ml means 2g of Human Albumin is contained in each 10ml packaging and Human Immunoglobulin 10%/3ml means 300mg of Human Immunoglobulin is contained in each 3ml packaging. Under PRC law, each variation in the packaging, dosage and concentration of medical products requires registration and approval by the SFDA. During this process the altered product is not commercially available for sale. For example, among our Human Albumin products only Human Albumin 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml and 20%/50ml products are currently approved and are commercially available.

2. "IU" means International Units, or IU. IU is a unit used to measure the activity of many vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and drugs. An IU is the amount of a substance that has a certain biological effect. For each substance there is an international agreement on the biological effect that is expected for 1 IU. In the case of Immunoglobulin, it means the number of effective units of antibodies in each package. When exposed to an antigen, the body views it as foreign material, and takes steps to neutralize the antigen. Typically, the body accomplishes this by making antibodies, which are intended to defend the body from invasion by potentially dangerous substances. These antibodies can be beneficial, as is the case when the body learns to fight a virus, or they can be harmful, in the instance of allergies. In a situation when the body cannot effectively react with these antigens, injection of our product will provide sufficient antibodies to neutralize the antigens.

3. "Tetanus Antitoxin" is a cheaper injection treatment for tetanus. However it is not widely used because most people are allergic to it.

We are approved to sell Human Albumin 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml and 20%/50ml and this is our top selling product. Sales of these human albumin products represented approximately 75.5% and 83.9% of our total revenues, respectively, for the each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and 69.3% for the period ended September 30, 2007. Our remaining revenue came from our other product categories during those periods. Human albumin is principally used to increase blood volume while immunoglobulin is used for certain disease preventions and cures. Shandong Taibang's approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products use human plasma as basic raw material. Albumin has been used for almost 50 years to treat critically ill patients by replacing lost fluid and maintaining adequate blood volume and pressure. All of our products are prescription medicines in the form of injections.

We sell our products to customers in the PRC.  Our sales have historically been made on the basis of short-term arrangements and our largest customers have changed over the years.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 10% and 12.3%, respectively, of our total revenue.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our largest customer accounted for approximately 2.9% and 2.8%, of our revenue, respectively.  As we continue to diversify our geographic presence, customer base and product mix, we expect that our largest customers will continue to change from year to year.

 

Our Industry

Our industry is competitive and subject to numerous government regulations.  Retail prices of certain of our biopharmaceutical products in the PRC are subject to the control of the relevant State and provincial price administration authorities.  The actual price for any given price-controlled product set by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers cannot exceed the price ceiling imposed in accordance with the applicable government price control rules.  Only those pharmaceutical products which are included in the Insurance Catalogue administered at the State or provincial level are subject to price control.  Many competitive factors may affect our sales of products, including product efficacy, safety, price and cost effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, quality control and quality assurance of our manufacturing operations, and research and development of new products.

Competition

According to a 2006 Hua Yuan Medicine Net survey of the profit ranking of companies in the Chinese biological products industry, we are ranked the 20th in 2006 and 25th in 2005, and in the plasma products area, we were ranked 5th. We believe that our past financial performance is attributable to our market position in the industry. Although PRC provincial and state regulatory requirements pose a competitive barrier to entry into our industry, over time there may be new entrants. Our major competitors in the albumin and immunoglobulin market in China are Hualan Biological Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Biological Products, Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co. Ltd., Chengdu Rongsheng Pharmaceuticals, and Sichuan Yuanda Shuyang Pharmaceutical Co.

5


 

We seek to continue to meet challenges and secure our market position by enhancing our existing products, introducing new products to meet customer demand, delivering quality products to our customers in a timely manner and maintaining our established industry reputation.

 

Our Strategy

Our mission is to become a first-class biopharmaceutical enterprise in China.  To achieve this objective, we have implemented the following strategies:

 

Securing the supply of plasma – Due to the shortage of plasma and the reform of the ownership of plasma stations, our immediate strategy is to negotiate and acquire plasma stations so as to secure our plasma supply.

 

Acquisition of competitors and/or other biologic related companies – In addition to organic growth, acquisition is an important part of our expansion strategy.  Although there are about 34 approved plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the market, we are of the view that only about half of them will be competitive. In addition, due to recent Ministry of Health regulations, we believe that it is difficult for new manufacturers to enter into the industry.

 

Further strengthening of research and development capability – We believe that, unlike other more developed countries like the US, China's plasma-based biopharmaceutical products are at the initial stage of development. We plan to increase our focus on research and development in order to give us a competitive advantage over our competitors.
 

Market development and network expansion – Leveraging on the high quality and safety record of our products, we intend to (i) enhance our product penetration with our existing customers by introducing new products and (ii) extend the reach of our products from our current market to include other provinces where we envision significant market potential.

 

Risk Factors

Our ability to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals and strategies is subject to numerous risks as discussed more fully in the section titled "Risk Factors," including for example:

 

our ability to overcome competition from local and overseas pharmaceutical enterprises;

decrease in the availability, or increase in the cost, of plasma;

failure to obtain PRC governmental approval to increase retail prices of certain of our biopharmaceutical products;

loss of key members of our senior management; and

unexpected change in the PRC government's regulation of the biopharmaceutical industry in China, or changes in China's economic situation and legal environment.

Any of the above risks could materially and negatively affect our business, financial position and results of operations.  An investment in our common stock involves risks.  You should read and consider the information set forth in "Risk Factors" and all other information set forth in this prospectus before investing in our common stock.

SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated in dollars.  We were a "shell" company before our reverse acquisition of Logic Express.  As we had no ongoing business operations prior to the share exchange transaction, we are not required to present financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 other than for Shandong Taibang,  which is considered to be our "predecessor" for these purposes.  We are providing our consolidated financial information, as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 which have been derived from the audited financial statements of Shandong Taibang.  As the share exchange transaction involving our Company and Logic Express is considered to be a capital transaction (issuance of stock by Logic Express for the net monetary assets of our Company) in substance, rather than a business combination, Logic Express is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired us.  Accordingly, the financial information prior to the reverse acquisition represents the consolidated financial information of Logic Express, which includes Shandong Taibang.  This information should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock.  Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results will suffer, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

If the State bans or limits plasma-based biopharmaceutical products, our operations, revenues and profitability would be adversely affected.

 

The principal raw materials of our existing and planned biopharmaceutical products is human source plasma, which, due to its unique nature, is subject to various quality and safety control issues which include, but are not limited to, contaminations and blood-born diseases.  In addition, limitations of current technology pose biological hazards inherent in plasma that have yet to be discovered which could result in a wide spread epidemic due to blood infusion.  The primary law that regulates plasma products in China is the PRC Pharmaceutical Law, the Implementation Rules on the PRC Pharmaceutical Law and the Regulations on the Administration of Blood Products.  These rules and regulations require entities producing blood products to strictly comply with certain hygienic standards and specifications promulgated by the State.  In the event that human plasma is discovered to be noncompliant with the State's hygienic standards and specifications, the health department may revoke the registration and/or the approval of the blood product, or otherwise limit the use of such blood product. If the State bans or limits plasma-based biopharmaceutical products, our operations, revenues and profitability would be adversely affected.

If the plasma from Shandong Province are found to be contaminated, or the supply from these plasma stations becomes restricted, our operation, revenues and profitability would be adversely affected.

We currently source plasma mainly from human donations to our plasma stations in Shandong Province and Guangxi Province.  The largest plasma station, Qihe, in Shandong Province, accounted for approximately 39.2% and 60% of our total plasma purchased for the years December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  If any of our human donors is infected with certain diseases, then the plasma from such donor may be infected.  If such contaminated plasma is not appropriately screened out, our entire plasma source may become contaminated.  If the plasma from these collection stations are found to be contaminated or the supply from these plasma stations becomes restricted, our operation, revenues and profitability would be adversely affected.

If we are unable to adequately monitor our plasma stations in Shandong Province and Guangxi Province our plasma supply may be tainted and we will be subject to sanctions by the government which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

As part of the industry reform initiative by the Chinese government, in 2006 we acquired the assets of five of the six then existing plasma stations in Shandong Province through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Xia Jin Plasma Company, the Qi He Plasma Company, the He Ze Plasma Company, the Zhang Qiu Plasma Company and the Yang Gu Plasma Company. We received permits to operate these subsidiaries in January 2007. In April 2007, we acquired the assets of two additional plasma stations, one through our newly formed subsidiary, the Huan Jiang Plasma Company, and the other through our majority owned subsidiary, the Fang Cheng Plasma Company, which is 80% owned by Shandong Taibang and 20% owned by Lin Feng, an unrelated third party. We obtained necessary permits and commenced their operation in July and August 2007, respectively. While we establish plasma processing procedures through processing agreements with our plasma stations and monitor our blood plasma intake procedures through frequent unscheduled inspections of our stations, there remains a risk that our blood supply may become tainted during the collection process. Our blood supply may become tainted if we accept blood from donors whose blood show any irregular findings including HIV, Hepatitis C and liver disease. We pre-screen all donors in order to ensure that this criteria is met. If our blood supply becomes tainted, the consequences for our business could be severe. We could be subject to civil liability from suits brought by consumers and to criminal liability and loss of our registration if we are found by the government to have been criminally negligent.

Our operations, sales, profit and cash flow will be adversely affected if our albumin products fail inspection or are delayed by regulators.

Each batch of our albumin products requires inspection by Chinese government regulators before we can ship it to our customers. The PRC State Food and Drug Authority, or the SFDA, has a quality standard which considers, among other things, the appearance, packing capacity, thermal stability, pH value, protein content and percentage of purity of the product. In order to pass inspection, our plasma must test negative for any blood irregularities, including Hepatitis C, HIV and liver disease. The plasma must be packaged in 25 separate 600g bags and boxed with a packing list and labeled to be consistent with computer records. The plasma must then be stored at -20°C as soon as possible after collection to ensure that it will congeal within 6 hours. Government regulators usually take one month to inspect a batch of albumin products. The process begins when the regulator randomly selects samples of our albumin products and delivers them to the National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products, or the NICBPB, in Beijing for testing, and the process ends when the products are given final approval by the NICBPB. In the event that the regulators delay the approval of our products, change the requirements in such a way that we are unable to comply with those requirements, or require our other products to be inspected by regulators before we can ship them to our customers, our operations, sales, profit and cash flow will be adversely affected.

We rely on a Secondment Agreement with the Shandong Institute, which is expected to terminate before the end of 2008 upon the privatization of the Shandong Institute, for over 39% of our Shandong Taibang employees. If the Secondment Agreement is breached or terminated, it could have an adverse effect on our operations and on our financial results.

The Shandong Province Institute of Biological Products, or the Shandong Institute, has provided us with approximately 130 of our employees out of a total of approximately 331 employees, pursuant to a secondment agreement, or Secondment Agreement, dated October 28, 2002, between Shandong Taibang and the Shandong Institute. Pursuant to the Secondment Agreement, we are responsible for the salaries of these employees, as well as for their social benefits such as State insurance. Our Secondment Agreement with the Shandong Institute will expire on the sooner to occur of October 2032 or upon the privatization of the Shandong Institute, which expected to occur before the end of 2008. Upon expiration or termination of the Secondment Agreement, we plan to hire the seconded employees directly. However, we cannot be sure that all of the employees will accept our employment offers at that time. Guang Li Pang, one of our Directors and Shandong Taibang's Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Yun Hua Gao and Dian Cong Liu, our Senior Technical Advisors are employed through the Secondment Agreement. Although none of our seconded employees have indicated that they do not plan to continue working for our Company after the privatization, if the Secondment Agreement is terminated or expires and we are unable to hire replacement employees on time, our operations, as well as our financial results, may suffer.

If the distributors who we rely on do not purchase our products, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We sell all of our products in China through our network of about 281 distributors located in about 22 provinces and municipal cities throughout China. While we have established working relationships with many of our distributors and strictly regulate their sales and marketing activities by annual distribution agreements, there are no restrictions in these distribution agreements preventing our distributors from also supplying products produced by our competitors. Our own marketing and sales staff work to develop and maintain relationships with our distributors, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain such relationships.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, direct sales to distributors represented approximately 59.6% and 54%, respectively, of our total revenues.  If a number of our distributors cease to purchase our products and we are unable to find suitable replacement, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.


 

Our inability to successfully research and develop new biological pharmaceutical products could have an adverse effect on our future growth.

We believe that the successful development of biological pharmaceutical products can be affected by many factors. Products that appear to be promising in the early phases of research and development may fail to be commercialized for various reasons, including the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.  In addition, the research and development cycles for new medicine for which we must obtain a Certificate of New Medicine from the PRC Ministry of Health, is a relatively lengthy process.  In our experience, the process of conducting research and various tests on new products before obtaining a Certificate of New Medicine and subsequent procedures may take approximately three to five years.  There is no assurance that our future research and development projects will be successful or that they will be completed within the anticipated time frame or budget.  Also, there is no guarantee that we will receive the necessary approvals from relevant authorities for the production of our newly developed products.  Even if such products could be successfully commercialized, there is no assurance that they will be accepted by the market as anticipated.

Our financial position and operations may be materially and adversely affected, if our product liability insurance does not sufficiently cover our liabilities.

Under current PRC laws, manufacturers and vendors of defective products in the PRC may incur liability for loss and injury caused by such products.  Pursuant to the General Principles of the Civil Law of the PRC or the PRC Civil Law, which became effective in 1987, a defective product which causes property damage or physical injury to any person may subject the manufacturer or vendor of such product to civil liability.

12


In 1993, the PRC promulgated the Product Quality Law of the PRC or the Product Quality Law, which was revised in 2000.  The Product Quality Law was enacted to protect the rights and interests of end-users and consumers and to strengthen the supervision and control of the quality of products.  Under the Product Quality Law, manufacturers who produce defective products may be subject to fines and required to cease production, and in severe cases, be subject to criminal liability and may have their business licenses revoked.

1n 1993, the Law of the PRC on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers or the Consumers' Rights Law was promulgated to further protect the legal rights and interests of consumers in connection with the purchase or use of goods and services.  All businesses, including our business, must observe and comply with the Consumers' Rights Law.

We maintain product liability insurance for sales in the PRC for all of our products in the amount of RMB20 million (approximately $2.7 million).  Although no one has filed any claims in relation to the use of our pharmaceutical products, our financial position and operations may be materially and adversely affected, if our insurance coverage is insufficient to cover a successful claim.  

 

We depend heavily on key personnel, and turnover of key employees and senior management could harm our business.

Our success, to a certain extent, is attributable to the expertise and experience of our senior management and key research and technical personnel, including Stanley Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, Tung Lam, the Chief Executive Officer of Shandong Taibang, Dian Cong Liu, the Senior Technical Adviser of Shandong Taibang and Ya Wen Liu, the Sales Director of Shandong Taibang, continued growth of the biopharmaceutical market in the PRC, competition and government policies. If continued growth of who carry out key functions in our operation.  If we lose the service of any of our senior management or key research or technical personnel or fail to attract additional personnel with suitable experience and qualification, our business operations and research capability may be adversely affected.

Our senior management and employees have worked together for a short period of time, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate their effectiveness and ability to address challenges.

Due to our limited operating history and recent additions to our management team, certain of our senior management and employees have worked together at our company for only a relatively short period of time.  Specifically, Stanley Wong, joined our Company as Chief Executive Officer in March 2007, Chao Ming Zhao became our Chief Financial Officer in November 2006 and Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li became our directors in July 2006.  In addition, while Mr. Zhao, Ms. Chen and Ms. Lin were employed in various capacities by Logic Express and Shandong Taibang, Mr. Wong is a newcomer to our Company.  As a result of these circumstances, it may be difficult for you to evaluate the effectiveness of our senior management and other key employees and their ability to address future challenges to our business.

Future acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.

Selective acquisitions form part of our strategy to further expand our business.  If we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may acquire additional companies, products or technologies. Future acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new companies into ours would require significant attention from our management. Our company has little experience with integrating newly acquired businesses.  Potential problems encountered by each organization during mergers and acquisitions would be unique, posing additional risks to the company.  The diversion of our management's attention and any difficulties encountered in any integration process could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.  Future acquisitions would expose us to potential risks, including risks associated with the assimilation of new operations, technologies and personnel, unforeseen or hidden liabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses and technologies, the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs and expenses of acquisitions, and potential loss of, or harm to, relationships with employees, customers and suppliers as a result of integration of new businesses.

We may lose our competitive advantage and our operations may suffer if we fail to prevent the loss or misappropriation of, or disputes over, our intellectual property.

None of our products are currently covered by patents, except for the trademark "Lu Yue" that has been licensed to us by the Shandong Institute for our use as in the labeling of human-use medicine, biopreparate and blood products, pursuant to a trademark license agreement, dated February 27, 2007.  We plan to apply for patents for our manufacturing processes.  The patent application will be subject to approval from the relevant PRC authorities. We may not be able to successfully obtain the approval of the PRC authorities for our patent applications.  Furthermore, third parties may assert claims to our proprietary procedures, technologies and systems. These proprietary procedures, technologies and systems are important to our business as they allow us to maintain our competitive edge over our competitors.

While we are not aware of any infringement on our intellectual property and we have not been notified by any third party that we are infringing on their intellectual property, our ability to compete successfully and to achieve future revenue growth will depend, in significant part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others.  The legal regime in China for the protection of intellectual property rights is still at its early stage of development. Intellectual property protection became a national effort in China in 1979 when China adopted its first statute on the protection of trademarks.  Since then, China has adopted its Patent Law, Trademark Law and Copyright Law and promulgated related regulations such as Regulation on Computer Software Protection, Regulation on the Protection of Layout Designs of Integrated Circuits and Regulation on Internet Domain Names.  China has also acceded to various international treaties and conventions in this area, such as the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, Patent Cooperation Treaty, Madrid Agreement and its Protocol Concerning the International Registration of Marks.  In addition, when China became a party to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China amended many of its laws and regulations to comply with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.  Despite many laws and regulations promulgated and other efforts made by China over the years with a view to tightening up its regulation and protection of intellectual property rights, private parties may not enjoy intellectual property rights in China to the same extent as they would in many Western countries, including the United States, and enforcement of such laws and regulations in China have not achieved the levels reached in those countries.  Both the administrative agencies and the court system in China are not well-equipped to deal with violations or handle the nuances and complexities between compliant technological innovation and non-compliant infringement.

We rely on confidentiality agreements with our management and employees to protect our confidential proprietary information.  However, the protection of our intellectual properties may be compromised as a result of:

14


Any of these events or occurrences may have a material adverse effect on our operations and the measures that we have put into place to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient.  Litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and may not be successful.  If we are not able to successfully defend our intellectual property rights, we might lose rights to technology that we need to conduct and develop our business.  This may seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition, and enable our competitors to use our intellectual property to compete against us.

Furthermore, if third parties claim that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights, we may be required to devote substantial resources to defend against such claims.  If we are unsuccessful in defending against such infringement claims, we may be required to pay damages, modify our products or suspend the production and sale of such products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to modify our products on commercially reasonable terms.

A disruption in the supply of utilities, fire or other calamity at our manufacturing plant would disrupt production of our products and adversely affect our sales.

Our products are manufactured solely at our production facility located in Taian City, Shandong Province in the PRC.  While we have not in the past experienced any calamities which disrupted production, any disruption in the supply of utilities, in particular, electricity or power supply, or any outbreak of fire, flood or other calamity resulting in significant damage at our facilities would severely affect our production and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We maintain insurance policies covering losses with respect to damages to our properties and products. We do not have insurance coverage for machinery and inventories of raw materials. There is no assurance that our insurance would be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses.

Investor confidence and market price of our shares may be adversely impacted if we or our independent registered public accountants are unable to attest to the adequacy of the internal controls over our financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We will be subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, following the completion of this offering.  The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring public companies, including us following the completion of this offering, to include a report of management of their internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting.  In addition, independent registered public accountants of these public companies must attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting.  These requirements will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2007, although the auditor attestation will not be required until our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2008.  Although we have not yet discovered any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls, our management may conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective.  Moreover, even if our management concludes otherwise, if our independent registered public accountants are not satisfied with our internal control structure and procedures, the level at which our internal controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if the independent registered public accountants interpret the requirements, rules or regulations differently from us, they may decline to attest to our management's assessment or may issue a report that is qualified.  Any of these possible outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could negatively impact the market price of our shares.  

There is a dispute between the former shareholders of Shandong Taibang that calls into question our ownership of 66%, or a majority, of our primary operating subsidiary, which if not resolved in our favor will adversely affect our business.

 

Mr. Zu Ying Du was one of the original equity holders in our operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang.  Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, among the original equity holders, Mr. Du was obligated to make a capital contribution of RMB20 million (or approximately $2.6 million) for a 25% interest in Shandong Taibang.   Mr. Du made this contribution using funds borrowed from the Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Company, or Beijing Chen Da.  Mr. Du failed to repay Beijing Chen Da for his loan of the capital contribution amount.  A Beijing Court found that Beijing Chen Da had given money to Mr. Du but found that the loan agreement failed to comply with Chinese law.   Subsequently, Beijing Chen Da entered into an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Du, pursuant to which Mr. Du's 25% equity interest in Shandong Taibang  was transferred to Beijing Chen Da as repayment of the RMB20 million debt.  In June 10, 2005, Beijing Chen Da sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing Investments Limited, or Up-Wing, pursuant to a share transfer agreement, which became effective on September 2, 2005, upon approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC.  In March 2006, Up-Wing sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Logic Express, our subsidiary.  Mr. Du challenges the validity of the equity transfer agreement with Beijing Chen Da and the subsequent share transfer to Up-Wing and sued his brother in Hubei province relating to this equity transfer agreement.  We do not have access to the court documents relating to this case.

 

15


 

In addition, Missile Engineering, another original equity holder wholly controlled by Mr. Du, was obligated to contribute RMB32.8 million (or $4.2 million) for a 41% interest in Shandong Taibang by means of cash, equipment and technical know-how.  It was obligated to obtain a certificate and license of its technical know-how from the State within a stipulated period in order to be recognized as a valid capital contribution, or in the alternative, make a cash payment.  The technical know-how was valued as RMB26.4 million (or approximately $3.4 million).  However, Missile Engineering failed to obtain the certificate and license within the stipulated period.  Pursuant to a stockholders resolution on September 26, 2004, Missile Engineering agreed to sell its 41% interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing and Up-Wing agreed to take up the obligation of Missile Engineering to pay the RMB26.4 million in cash. In 2006, Missile Engineering applied for arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer to Up-Wing Investments Limited, of the equity interests in Shandong Taibang formerly owned by Missile Engineering.  The equity transfer had been approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC.  Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew this application and instead applied to the Shandong COFTEC for administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer, but this application was rejected.  Thereafter, Missile Engineering commenced an administrative proceeding against the Shandong COFTEC alleging that it wrongfully approved the equity transfer.  However, according to Shandong COFTEC, the application to this administrative proceeding was voluntarily withdrawn by Missile Engineering during September 2007. We were also informed that Missile Engineering is in the process of applying to COFTEC for another administrative reconsideration of equity transfer.  We believe that all necessary approvals and documentation were obtained at the time of transfer and we have initiated legal action in China intending to restrain Missile Engineering from seeking to resolve the equity transfer issue, by means other than by arbitration, the agreed-upon method of conflict resolution at the time of the transfer.  If we are unable to enjoin Missile Engineering from its current course of action, we may be tied up in litigation which could distract our management and our expenses may significantly increase.  See "Legal Proceedings" for more details regarding this risk factor.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our 2007 actual financial performance could vary from the performance thresholds provided by our controlling stockholders under the make good arrangement with the investors in our private placement.  

Our majority stockholders, Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li entered into a make good agreement with the private placement investors pursuant to which Ms. Chan and Ms. Li agreed to deposit in an escrow account a total of 4,280,000 shares of our common stock owned by them to be held for the benefit of the investors, to be released to the investors, pro rata, if we do not reach a threshold of at least $4,819,500 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $5,823,465 of after-tax net income before minority interest for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, and at least $8,302,000 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $10,031,416 of after-tax net income before minority interest for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. The calculation of after-tax net income for purposes of the make good agreement, as amended, excludes: (i) the release of the make good shares to the stockholders as a result of operation of the make good agreement, (ii) the payment of liquidated damages accrued according to the registration rights agreement; and (iii) the gain or loss on change in fair market value of our warrants, none of which are deemed to be an income or expense item used in calculating the after-tax net income for purposes of the make good agreement. These excluded items added $811,060 in total back to our after-tax net income before minority interest and as such, enabled us to meet the after-tax net income before minority interest performance threshold for fiscal year 2006. As a result, one half of the shares held in escrow are to be returned to our controlling stockholders pursuant to the make good agreement. However, the performance thresholds required by the make good agreement generally represent only a current estimate of our financial performance and are forward-looking. Events beyond our control, including but not limited to, the risk factors set out in this section of the Prospectus, changes in the bases or rates of taxation applicable to us in the respective jurisdictions in which we operate, force majeure events or other unforeseeable factors could adversely affect our results for 2007. Actual results may be materially different from their estimates and thus the estimates by our controlling stockholders may not be reliable. Should our 2007 actual performance not meet the revenue estimates and fall short of the performance thresholds, our share price will likely decrease due to a loss of investor confidence in our management. In addition, in the event our 2007 performance threshold is not met, our controlling stockholders would be required to surrender the remaining 2,140,000 escrowed shares, representing 10% of our issued and outstanding shares. A surrender of these shares would result in a significant decrease in ownership by our two controlling stockholders from 13,725,248 shares combined, or 64% of our issued and outstanding shares, to 11,585,248 shares combined, or 54% of our issued and outstanding shares. Such a decrease in the percentage of controlling share ownership may impact our board composition, our management structure, and/or the operation of our business going forward.

Our cash flow could be negatively affected as a result of our extension of relatively long payment terms to customers that we believe are credit worthy.

As is customary in our industry, we extend relatively long payment terms (up to six months) to customers that we believe are credit worthy.  The dollar amount of our accounts receivable and the amount of our allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2007 was $3,582,266 and $1,177,093, respectively.  There is no bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and fiscal year 2006.  Although we attempt to establish appropriate reserves for our receivables, those reserves may not prove to be adequate in view of actual levels of bad debts. The failure of our customers to pay us timely would negatively affect our working capital, which could in turn adversely affect our cash flow.  

 

16


Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

We have a limited operating history.  Shandong Taibang as began its operation in October 2002.  With the rapid growth of the industry, it has experienced a high growth rate since 2002.  Furthermore, we did not acquire a controlling interest in Shandong Taibang until September 2005.  As such, our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects.  We may not be able to achieve a similar growth rate in future periods.  Accordingly, you should not rely on our results of operations for any prior periods as an indication of our future performance.

We face risks associated with debt financing (including exposure to variation in interest rates).

Our total outstanding indebtedness, entirely comprising of short-term loans, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $1.33 million and $2.56 million, respectively.  The interest rates on these short-term loans are fixed and from 5.85% to 6.14% per annum.  Our obligations under our existing loans have been mainly met through the cash flow from our operations and our financing activities.  We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk of significant increase in interest rates and the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payment of principal and interest.  In the past, cash flow from operations had been sufficient to meet payment obligations and/or we have been able to roll over our borrowings.  There is however no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. We may also underestimate our capital requirements and other expenditures or overestimate our future cash flows.  In such event, additional capital, debt or other forms of financing may be required for our working capital.  If any of the aforesaid events occur and we are unable for any reason to raise additional capital, debt or other financing to meet our working capital requirements, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial position will be adversely affected.

We will incur capital expenditures in the future in connection with our growth plans and therefore may require additional financing.

 

To grow our sales volume, we need to increase our production capacities and this will require substantial capital expenditures.  We anticipate that our capital expenditure for the next 12 months will be approximately $1.6 million.  Such expenditures are likely to be incurred in advance of any increase in sales.  Our revenue may not increase after these capital expenditures are incurred.  This will depend on, among other factors, on our ability to maintain or achieve high capacity utilization rates.  Any failure to increase our revenue after incurring capital expenditure to expand production capacity will reduce our profitability.

 

We may need to obtain additional debut or equity financing which may result in dilution to our shareholders and have a material adverse economic effect on our business.

We may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund our capital expenditures.  Additional equity financing may result in dilution to our shareholders.  Additional debt financing may be required, which, if obtained, may:

 

17


We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR INDUSTRY

If our supply of quality plasma is interrupted, our results of operations and profitability will be adversely affected.

The production of plasma-based biopharmaceutical products relies on the supply of plasma of suitable quality.  For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the cost of plasma used by us for production accounted for approximately 74% and 68%, respectively, of total production cost.  The supply and market prices of plasma may be adversely affected by factors such as regulatory restrictions, weather conditions or outbreak of diseases which would impact our costs of production.  We may not be able to pass on any resulting increase in costs to our customers and therefore any substantial fluctuation in supply or market prices of plasma may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

The biopharmaceutical industry in the PRC is strictly regulated and changes in such regulations may have an adverse effect on our business.

The biopharmaceutical industry in the PRC is strictly regulated by the State.  The regulatory regime, such as administrative approval of medicines and production approvals, comprises of series of regulations and administrative rules. The PRC regulatory authorities may amend such regulations and administrative rules and promulgate new regulations and administrative rules from time to time.  Changes in these regulations and administrative rules could have a significant impact on our business.  Such changes may have any adverse impact on our business.

We may not be able to carry on our business if we lose any of the permits and licenses required by the PRC Government in order to carry on our business.

All pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution enterprises in the PRC are required to obtain from various PRC governmental authorities certain permits and licenses, including, in the case of manufacturing enterprises, a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit and, in the case of distribution enterprises, a Pharmaceutical Distribution Permit.

We have obtained permits and licenses and the GMP certificates, required for the manufacture of our pharmaceutical products.  These permits and licenses held by us are subject to periodic renewal and/or reassessment by the relevant PRC Government authorities and the standards of compliance required in relation thereto may from time to time be subject to changes. We intend to apply for the renewal of such permits and licenses when required by applicable laws and regulations. Any changes in compliance standards, or any new laws or regulations that may prohibit or render it more restrictive for us to conduct our business or increase our compliance costs may adversely affect our operations or profitability.  Any failure by us to obtain such renewals may have a material adverse effect on the operation of our business. In addition, we may not be able to carry on business without such permits and business licenses being renewed.

We may encounter increased competition from both local and overseas pharmaceutical enterprises as a result of a relaxation of the PRC regulatory approval process for plasma-based biopharmaceutical products or due to an ease in international trade restrictions. A change in our competitive environment could adversely affect our profitability and prospects.

Our continued ability to compete depends on the development of the plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China. The plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is highly regulated by both provincial and central governments. Prior to engaging in the collection and production of plasma products, companies such as ours are required to obtain collection permits from the central health department and production permits and certificates for each new product formulation from the various provincial food and drug authorities. We have the advantage of being already approved by the state to collect plasma from human donors and manufacture and sell plasma-based biopharmaceutical products in Shandong Province, and our research and development department has become familiar with the provincial product approval process. However, although we believe that the regulatory requirements pose a competitive barrier to entry into the biopharmaceutical industry, over time there may be new entrants. If the government relaxes these restrictions and allow more competitors to enter into the market, these competitors may have more capital, better research and development resources, manufacturing and marketing capability and experience than us. Our profitability may be adversely affected if (i) competition intensifies; (ii) competitors drastically reduce prices; or (iii) competitors develop new products having comparable medicinal applications or therapeutic effects which are more effective and /or less costly than those produced by us.

In addition we expect that competition from imported products will increase as a result of a trend towards lower import tariffs and China's admission as a member of the WTO in December 2001. We believe that lower import tariffs will result in more affordable pricing for imported biopharmaceutical products manufactured overseas as compared to domestically manufactured products such as ours. In addition, China's membership in the WTO makes it more accessible to foreign biopharmaceutical manufacturers who may wish to set up production facilities in the PRC and compete directly with domestic manufacturers. The expected increased supply of both domestic and foreign competitively priced biopharmaceutical products in the PRC will result in increased competition. There is no assurance that our strategies to remain competitive can be implemented successfully as scheduled or at all. Our inability to remain competitive may have an adverse effect on our profitability and prospects.

18


 

Other approved biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the PRC are entitled to produce many of the products produced by us.  There are currently about 34 approved manufacturers of plasma-based pharmaceutical products in China.  Many of these manufacturers are essentially producing the same type of human albumin products and the various types of immunoglobulin products as we are.  Although we believe that the current regulatory requirements make it difficult for new manufacturers to enter into the industry, as other manufacturers obtain approval from PRC regulators, we may face increased competition and our business and profitability may be adversely affected.  We believe that our major competitors in the albumin and immunoglobulin market in China are Hualan Biological Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Biological Products, Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co. Ltd., Chengdu Ronsheng Pharmaceuticals, and Sichuan Yuanda Shuyang Pharmaceutical Co.

 

Competition from imported products and China's admission as a member of the WTO creates increased competition for us.  The PRC became a member of the WTO in December 2001. Competition in the biopharmaceutical industry in the PRC will intensify generally in two respects.  With lower import tariffs, we anticipate that imported biopharmaceutical products manufactured overseas may become increasingly competitive with domestically produced products in terms of pricing.  We also believe that foreign biopharmaceutical manufacturers with more experience may set up production facilities in the PRC and compete with domestic manufacturers directly.  Accordingly, with the expected increased supply of competitively priced biopharmaceutical products in the PRC we may be faced with increased competition by foreign biopharmaceutical products, including the types of products manufactured by US manufacturers and other manufacturers.

If we do not receive PRC governmental approval to increase the retail prices of certain of our biopharmaceutical products our revenues may be adversely affected.

Retail prices of certain of our biopharmaceutical products in the PRC are subject to the control of the relevant State and provincial price administration authorities. The actual price for any given price-controlled product set by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers cannot exceed the price ceiling imposed in accordance with the applicable government price control rules. Only those pharmaceutical products which are included in the Insurance Catalogue administered at the State or provincial level are subject to price control.

 

Our three principal product categories, human albumin, human immunoglobulin for intravenous injections and human tetanus immunoglobulin, which accounted for a total of approximately 83% and 90% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were subject to national price control regulations in the PRC.  Hence, the prices of those products could not be increased at our discretion above the relevant controlled retail price ceiling without prior governmental approval.  This, in turn, may affect the ex-factory prices set by us for our products and we therefore do not have unfettered freedom to maximize our profits.  It is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain necessary approvals to increase the price of any of our products.

RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Substantially all of our assets are located in, and substantially all of our revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial position and prospects are subject to a significant degree to the economic, political and legal developments of the PRC.
 

Changes in China's political or economic situation could harm us and our operating results.

 

Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time.  This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability.  Some of the things that could have this effect are:

 

Level of government involvement in the economy;

Control of foreign exchange;

Methods of allocating resources;

Balance of payments position;

International trade restrictions; and

International conflict.

19


 

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in many ways.  For example, state-owned enterprises still constitute a large portion of the Chinese economy and weak corporate governance and a lack of flexible currency exchange policy still prevail in China.  As a result of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy was similar to those of the OECD member countries.

 

Our business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and your legal protection could be limited.

 

The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes.  Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used.  The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance the legal protections afforded to foreign invested enterprises in China.  However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties.  These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign invested enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as requisite business licenses.

Substantially all of our executive officers reside in the PRC, and substantially all of our assets are located within the PRC. It may not be possible for investors to affect service of process upon those persons in the PRC or to enforce any judgment obtained from non-PRC courts against them in the PRC or against our assets in the PRC.

In China, if a foreign party wants to petition to recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, it has to petition to a PRC intermediate court for such recognition and enforcement. After receiving such a petition, a Chinese court has broad discretion in evaluating whether to enforce foreign judgments according to international treaties into which China has entered, or by the principle of reciprocity. If the PRC and the foreign country have not entered into or acceded into any international treaties and both countries do not have established reciprocity relationships, the judgment made by the court of the foreign country will not be recognized and enforced in China. In such case the foreign party would have to institute a lawsuit with the PRC court having jurisdiction over the action if it wishes to enforce the judgment.

In 1987, China acceded to the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, or the New York Convention. Under the New York Convention, arbitral awards rendered in other signatory countries are recognized and enforceable in China. However, thus far, China has not yet acceded to the Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters, or the Hague Convention, nor does it have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or many other countries. Therefore recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any of these jurisdictions in respect of any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

 

China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities.  The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership.  Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters.  We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.  However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

 

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

 

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation.  During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%.  These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation.  High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

 

The majority of our revenues will be settled in Renminbi and U.S. dollars, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.  Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi.

Our primary source of funds of dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiary in China is subject to various legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties, and our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to our shareholders are negatively affected by those restrictions and uncertainties.

 

We are a holding company established in Delaware and conduct our core business operations through our principal operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, in China.  As a result, our profits available for distribution to our shareholders are dependent on the profits available for distribution from Shandong Taibang.  If Shandong Taibang incurs debt on its own behalf, the debt instruments may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, which in turn would limit our ability to pay dividends on our shares.  Under the current PRC laws, because we are incorporated in the Delaware, our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, is regarded as a sino-foreign joint venture enterprise in China.  Although dividends paid by foreign invested enterprises, such as wholly foreign-owned enterprises and sino-foreign joint ventures, are not subject to any PRC corporate withholding tax, the PRC laws permit payment of dividends only out of net income as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.  Determination of net income under PRC accounting standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. GAAP in significant aspects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of revenues and expenses.  In addition, if we make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang (which may occur through the capitalization of undistributed profits), then additional approval of the PRC government would be required due to an increase in our registered capital and total investment in Shandong Taibang.  Under the PRC laws, Shandong Taibang, a sino-foreign joint venture enterprise, is required to set aside a portion of its net income each year to fund designated statutory reserve funds.  These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.  As a result, our primary internal source of funds of dividend payments from Shandong Taibang is subject to these and other legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties, which in turn may limit or impair our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.  Moreover, any transfer of funds from us to Shandong Taibang, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to registration with or approval by PRC governmental authorities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2006, we have set aside $1.1million  and $0.8 million, respectively to fund the statutory reserve by Shandong Taibang.  In addition, as of September 30, 2007, Shandong Taibang could only legally distribute approximately $3.5 million to its parent companies, after taking into account the cost of meeting of its working capital.  These limitations on the flow of funds between us and Shandong Taibang could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions. We currently do not intend on paying any dividends in the future and expect to retain all available funds to support our operations and to finance growth and development of our business. We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends.  Our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends.  We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future.  Therefore, any gains on an investment in our common stock will likely occur through an increase in our stock price, which may or may not occur.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries' ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

 

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire "control" over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident's funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (i) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (3) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (4) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV's affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.

 

We believe our stockholders who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75 have registered with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries.  However, we cannot provide any assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with, all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular 75.  Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies.  For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries' ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.  In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75.  We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures.  A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

 

The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated.  For example, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operational needs and the RMB appreciates against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, our business, and the price of our common stock may be harmed.  Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

 

Our procurement strategy is to diversify our suppliers both in the PRC and overseas.  And some of our raw materials and major equipments are currently imported.  These transactions are often settled in U.S. dollars or other foreign currency.  In the event that the U.S. dollars or other foreign currency appreciate against RMB, our costs will increase.  If we cannot pass the resulted cost increase to our customers, our profitability and operating results will suffer.  In addition, because our sales to international customers are growing, we are subject to the risk of foreign currency depreciation.

If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency, determines that CSRC approval is required in connection with this offering, this offering may be delayed or cancelled, or we may become subject to penalties.

 

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006. This new regulation, among other things, has certain provisions that require SPVs formed for the purpose of acquiring PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock market.  However, the new regulation does not expressly provide that approval from the CSRC is required for the offshore listing of a SPV which acquires, directly or indirectly, equity interest or shares of domestic PRC entities held by domestic companies or individuals by cash payment, nor does it expressly provide that approval from CSRC is not required for the offshore listing of a SPV which has fully completed its acquisition of equity interest of domestic PRC equity prior to September 8, 2006.  On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website a notice specifying the documents and materials that are required to be submitted for obtaining CSRC approval.  It is not clear whether the provisions in the new regulation regarding the offshore listing and trading of the securities of a SPV applies to an offshore company such as us which has acquired the equity interest of PRC domestic entities in cash and has completed the acquisition of the equity interest of PRC domestic entities prior to the effective date of the new regulation.  Since the new regulation has only recently been adopted, there remains some uncertainty as to how this regulation will be interpreted or implemented.  Although the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency has not determined that CSRC approval is required for this offering, if the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the CSRC's approval is required, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel this offering before settlement and delivery of the shares being offered by us.

New corporate income tax law could adversely affect our business and our net income.

 

On March 16, 2007, National People's Congress passed a new corporate income tax law, which will be effective on January 1, 2008.  This new corporate income tax unifies the corporate income tax rate, cost deductions and tax incentive policies for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises in China.  According to the new corporate income tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate of our Chinese subsidiaries will incrementally increase to 25% over a five-year period.  We are expecting that the rules for implementation would be enacted by the Chinese government in the coming months.  After the rules are enacted, we can better assess what the impact of the new unified tax law would be over this period.  The discontinuation of any special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives could adversely affect our business and our net income.

 

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.  We have operations, agreements with third parties and we make sales in China.  Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control.  It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees.  However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible.  Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our common stock.

There currently is no market for our common stock.  Further, although our common stock may be quoted in the over-the-counter market maintained by the Pink Sheets, LLC, trading of our common stock may be extremely sporadic.  For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded.  A more active market for the common stock may never develop.  

We cannot assure you that the common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.

We plan to list our common stock as soon as practicable.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing.  Until the common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that it would be eligible to be quoted in the "pink sheets."  In this venue, however, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock.  In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its liquidity.  This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

 

We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions which may affect our ability to sell our securities on the secondary market.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions.  The market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and therefore is a "penny stock."  Broker and dealers effecting transactions in "penny stock" must disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities.  These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell shares.  In addition, so long as our common stock is quoted in the "pink sheets" (as is currently the case), investors will find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the stock, and may find few buyers to purchase such stock and few market makers to support its price.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled "Summary," "Risk Factors," "Use of Proceeds," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the section captioned "Risk Factors" above.   In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "should," "would" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus, or that we filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

24


Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock covered by this prospectus.  To the extent that the selling stockholders exercise, for cash, all of the warrants covering the 1,284,000 shares of common stock registered for resale under this prospectus, we would receive approximately $3.6 million in the aggregate from such exercises.  We intend to use such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, such as for the purchase of plasma and other raw materials used in the production of our biopharmaceutical products.
 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The selling stockholders have established the offering price of $3.00 per share.  This price was arbitrarily selected and does not have any relationship to any established criteria such as book value or current earnings per share.  The offering price we set for our common stock was not based on past earnings, nor is it indicative of potential market value of the assets that we own.

 

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value per share of common stock as of September 30, 2007 was $0.94.  Net tangible book value is determined by dividing our tangible book value (total assets less intangible assets including know-how, trademarks and copyrights and less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our capital stock.  Since this offering is being made solely by the selling stockholders and none of the proceeds will be paid to us, our net tangible book value will be unaffected by this offering.

 

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Reports to Stockholders

 

We plan to furnish our stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal year ending December 31 containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm.  Additionally, we may, in our sole discretion, issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to our stockholders when we deem appropriate.  We intend to maintain compliance with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Holders

 

As of January 22, 2008, there were approximately 456 shareholders of record.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends.  Our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends.  We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future.  Any gains on an investment in our common stock will likely occur through an increase in our stock price, which may or may not occur.

Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our shareholders.  Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

We are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales of biologic products through our indirect majority-owned PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, established under the laws of China.   Since our establishment, all of our revenues have been derived primarily from the sales of human albumin and various types of immunoglobulin.  

Our industry is competitive and subject to numerous government regulations.  Retail prices of certain of our biopharmaceutical products in the PRC are subject to the control of the relevant State and provincial price administration authorities.  The actual price for any given price-controlled product set by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers cannot exceed the price ceiling imposed in accordance with the applicable government price control rules.  Only those pharmaceutical products which are included in the Insurance Catalogue administered at the State or provincial level are subject to price control.  Many competitive factors may affect our sales of products, including product efficacy, safety, price and cost effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, quality control and quality assurance of our manufacturing operations, and research and development of new products.

26


We operate and manage our business as a single segment. We do not account for the results of our operations on a geographic or other basis.

All our business has been conducted in Renminbi, the official currency of China.  Renminbi is still not a free floating currency.  The value of Renminbi is subject to changes in the Chinese government's policies and depends to a large extent on China's domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market.  Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars has generally been stable, and Renminbi has appreciated against the U.S. dollar since July 2005.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition

The following are key factors that affect our financial condition and results of operations and we believe them to be important to the understanding of our business:

Raw Material Prices

The primary raw material used in the production of our albumin and immunoglobulin products is human plasma.  These products are still not affordable to many PRC patients.  As China's economy grows, we expect more Chinese people will become consumers of medical treatments and procedures, including procedures requiring the use of human plasma.  As a result, we expect the enhanced economic conditions in China will result in increased demand for human plasma.  Collection of human plasma in China is regulated and until recently, only licensed Plasmapheresis stations owned and operated by the government could collect human plasma.  Each collection station was only allowed to supply plasma to the one manufacturer that had signed the "Quality Responsibility" statement with them.  In Shandong Province, there are six plasma collection stations and we had annual plasma supply contracts with three of them indicating the estimated cost for each ton of plasma until December 2006.  The price of human plasma is negotiated on an annual basis and is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the cost of operating the collection stations, the nutritional supplement fee awarded to the donors for each donation, and the anticipated volume of total plasma donated.   However, in March 2006, the Ministry of Health promulgated certain "Measures on Reforming Plasma Collection Stations," or the Blood Collection Measures, whereby the ownership and management of PRC plasma stations are required to be transferred to plasma-based biopharmaceutical companies while the regulatory supervision and administrative control remain with the State.  Plasma stations that did not complete their reform by December 31, 2006, risked revocation of their license to collect plasma.  

In December 2006, we signed agreements to acquire certain of the assets of five of the six then existing plasma stations in Shandong, which we have since acquired.  On January 1, 2007 we obtained the permit to operate these stations.  These acquisitions will allow us to have direct influence on the operation of these collection stations in the future and secure a stable source of plasma supply for production.  In January 2007, we entered into letters of intent to acquire certain of the assets of three plasma stations in Guangxi Province, two of which we acquired in February and April 2007, and we obtained their permit to operate.  However, there can be no assurance that the acquisition of the assets of the remaining plasma station can be completed or continue on the same terms that we have initially agreed to in the letter of intent as the permit for this station is in dispute.  Please refer to "Legal Proceedings" for more information regarding this dispute.

Through Shandong Taibang, we formed separate subsidiaries that acquired the assets of the Shandong and Guangxi Province plasma stations and we will form a subsidiary to acquire the assets of the remaining plasma station in Guangxi Province.  The wholly-owned subsidiaries of Shandong Taibang holding our new plasma stations are the Xia Jin Plasma Company, the Qi He Plasma Company, the He Ze Plasma Company, the Zhang Qiu Plasma Company, the Yang Gu Plasma Company and the Huan Jiang Plasma Company.  The other plasma station is held in the Fang Cheng Plasma Company, which is 80% owned by Shandong Taibang and 20% owned by Lin Feng, an unrelated third party.  Our acquisition of the assets of each plasma station was conditioned on the State's issuance to our acquiring subsidiaries all permits necessary to operate the acquired assets which we have now obtained.  We have also make employment offers to all or substantially all of the employees of each plasma station that we have acquired.  

27


We do not expect any material differences in our cost structure as a result of the acquisition of the plasma station assets.  However, we expect that our plasma supply will increase due to improved management.  Although we have generally been able to pass substantially all cost increases in recent years on to our customers, there is no assurance that we can continue to do that in the future.

 Prices of Our Products

In recent years, due to market demand, we were able to increase the selling price of most of our key products.

Demand for Our Products

Our products are mostly sold to hospitals either directly or through our distributors in China.    The demand for our products is therefore, largely affected by the general economic conditions in China because they are still not affordable to many patients.   As China's economy grows, we expect more Chinese people will become consumers of medical treatments and procedures, including procedures requiring human plasma.  As a result, we expect the enhanced economic conditions in China will result in increased demand for human plasma.  A significant improvement in the economic environment in China will likely improve consumer income which in turn would make our products more affordable and consequently increase the demand for our products.

We have been able to expand our product range and markets by introducing new products required by customers. We believe that our technical expertise is important in introducing products that are in demand.

Production Capacity

Our sales volume is limited by our annual production capacity.

As we grow our business in the future, our ability to fulfill additional and larger orders will be dependent on our ability to increase our production capacity.  Our plan to expand our production capacity will depend on, inter alia, the availability of capital to meet our needs of expansion or upgrading of production lines, and the availability of stable plasma supply.

 

Currently, our production capacity is 300 tons per annum.  We estimate that the production capacity of our major competitors ranges from 300 tons to 1,000 tons per annum.  We have already invested $2.8 million in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2007, and we plan to invest an additional $0.9 million in 2007, in order to expand our production capacity to 500-800 tons per annum.  As of September 30, 2007, we have committed capital expenditures of $3.7 million, of which $2.8 million has been paid.  We expect the increase in our production capacity to be in place by early 2008.

Competition

There are both local and overseas pharmaceutical enterprises that are engaged in the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products in the PRC. These competitors may have more capital, better research and development resources, manufacturing and marketing capability and experience than us. In our industry, we compete based upon product quality, product cost, ability to produce a diverse range of products and logistical capabilities. Our profitability may be adversely affected if (i) competition intensifies; (ii) competitors drastically reduce prices; or (iii) competitors develop new products having comparable medicinal applications or therapeutic effects which are more effective and /or less costly than those produced by us.

There are currently 34 approved manufacturers of plasma-based biopharmaceutical products such as ours in the PRC, many of whom are producing human albumin products and various types of immunoglobulin. However, due to recent Ministry of Health regulations, we believe that it is difficult for new manufacturers to enter into the industry. The time required to build, furnish and obtain the operating permit for a plasma collection station could take up a year or more, depending on the time spent obtaining a plasma collection permit from the Health Department. In addition, it could take a prospective manufacturer between 2 – 5 years to build a manufacturing plant and obtain the relevant state and local approval to sell its plasma products. A prospective manufacturer must first obtain a Production Permit from the provincial Food and Drug Authority and a GMP, certificate from the SFDA. Each product category has to be separately approved by the SFDA, and a manufacturer may not sell its product before obtaining relevant SFDA approval. The cost of obtaining state and local approval depends on the scale and technical ability of the manufacturer.

 The table below shows the PRC approval process for the manufacture and sale of new medicines:

Stage (Estimated Time Period) Activities
1 Planning Stage (1 month) Prior to the development of potential new products, our Research & Development department will engage in a comprehensive review of existing medical literature, patent status and market information, including expected product demand and other competition, in order to determine the feasibility of development and production of a new product offering. Although this typically takes about 1 month to complete, this stage precedes development efforts for a new product, which could take several months or even years to complete. For products with lengthy development periods, we may be required to periodically revisit this stage to confirm the feasibility of continued development efforts.
2 Feasibility study and assumption clarification (2 months) If we determine that development, ownership and marketing of a potential new product is possible and potentially advantageous, we proceed with development efforts. However, potential new products are typically developed in a laboratory or small batch setting, and in order to obtain approval for potential new products and to market new products, we must develop a plan for testing and producing the new product. The first step in developing such plan is a feasibility study and assumption clarification. This study is conducted following or during development of a new product, and involves a review and study of the feasibility of our technical, production and financial capabilities, production conditions and financial forecasts. We also review the feasibility of preparing and conducting a clinical study, or a Clinical Trial program, during this stage.
3 Develop scope and technique for testing the new medicine (6 months) If following completion of a Stage 2 study we make a determination that producing and testing a potential new product is feasible and potentially advantageous, we will develop the scope and techniques for testing the potential new product. This involves confirming the sourcing of materials needed for production and marketing of the potential new product and development of the method of production, dosage design and prescription selections. During this stage, we will also develop a clinical research sample.
4 Preparation of a virus inactivation report and submission to the NICPBP for preliminary review (4-6 months) If following development of testing methods for the potential new product we determine that testing can be successfully completed, we will prepare and finalize the virus inactivation method for the potential new product. We are then required to prepare a report with details on the production method and procedures and basis of quality evaluation for preliminary review by the NICPBP. NICPBP staff usually makes an onsite visit during this stage to supervise testing and re-testing of the virus inactivation process. Tested samples will be sent back to the NICPBP central office in Beijing for evaluation.
5 R&D test product information submitted to the SFDA for preliminary assessment (4-6 months)  Before the NICPBP can determine that our clinical research sampling and virus inactivation method and procedures are successful, we are required to submit our clinical research sampling and virus inactivation method and procedures to the SFDA via the provincial FDA for preliminary assessment. We also develop the parameters for a Clinical Trial program at this stage. Our program usually requires the establishment of a committee comprised of our Research and Development staff whose responsibility it will be to communicate with the hospitals and doctors who are invited to participate in the trial.

After our submission of information to the SFDA we will become subject to random onsite sampling by the SFDA as they review our reports and procedures regarding testing of the potential product. The SFDA will usually inform us of the exact sampling date and SFDA staff will randomly select certain samples during their visit for additional testing. The SFDA will then provide us with their preliminary assessment of our new product and our related procedures. Depending on the results of its preliminary assessment the SFDA may recommend that we alter certain aspects of our reports and proposed Clinical Trial programs, or even repeat our Stage 3 and Stage 4 trials and resubmit related reports.

The SFDA review process typically takes 4-6 months, but this process could take longer if we are required to amend or repeat our trials or if we amend our reports in order to obtain more a favorable preliminary assessment.

6 Formal application to the NICPBP for test of virus inactivation and for CDE certification of Clinical Trial (6-7 months) Once we receive a favorable or satisfactory preliminary assessment from the SFDA, the NICPBP will continue the process begun at Stage 4. The NICPBP will conduct tests of virus inactivation based on defined medical literature and on our prescribed procedures and method of production.

If the tests are successful, the NICPBP will transfer the application to the CDE for review of our prescribed procedures and method of production and the CDE may request additional information before making a determination. If the CDE is satisfied with our procedures and method of production it will certify the new product for production for Clinical Trial.

7

SFDA review of Clinical Trial program for approval (1 month)

Following provision of the CDE product certification, we must submit our Clinical Trial program (developed at Stage 5 and 6) to the SFDA for formal approval. The SFDA may request additional information regarding our proposed Clinical Trial program. If the SFDA rejects our Clinical Trial program or requires changes to any of our procedures and methods, we may be required to amend our Clinical Trial program, which may require repeating several of the processes previously conducted. The criteria for SFDA approval for Clinical Trial programs are based on Good Clinical Practice which is publicly available in the PRC.

29


Stage (Estimated Time Period)

Activities
8 Clinical Trial: Phases 1 to 4 (3 years for a new drug and 2 years for a generic drug) Following approval of our Clinical Trial program by the SFDA, we will begin Clinical Trials of the potential new product. There are four phases to the clinical trial process and any failure of the potential new product at any of the Clinical Trial phases, could cause a significant delay in approval of the new product, or termination of the new product launch:

Phase 1: Basic clinical pharmacology and human safety evaluation studies are conducted by the Company. Prior to determining the effectiveness of our potential new product, we must determine that certain pharmacological and safety standards are met by our potential new product. These standards are set in stage 4 or according to medical literature. If the clinical trial indicates that such standards are met, we then move on to Phase 2 of the trials. If the Phase 1 standards are not met, we may be required to conduct further R&D on the potential new product, alter the new product formulation and amend the Clinical Trial program, which could require that we repeat several of the stages referenced above.

Phase 2: A preliminary exploration of the product's therapeutic efficacy is conducted by the Company. If we determine at this stage that the potential new product is not effective, we may conduct further R&D on the potential new product, alter the new product formulation and amend the Clinical Trial program, which would require that we repeat several of the stages referenced above.

Phase 3: If we determine that the potential new product meets the required standards of Phases 1 and 2 above, we must then submit a report of the Clinical Trial results to the SFDA together with an application for trial production of the product. If the SFDA rejects application for trial production or otherwise requires a repeat of our Clinical Trials, we may be required to repeat all or a portion of our Clinical Trial program, which may require repeating several of the processes previously conducted.

Phase 4: If we receive SFDA approval to conduct a trial production of the new product, we will then conduct a larger test of approximately 2,000 samples. We will conduct this test while also conducting a new drug post-marketing study.

9 Application to the SFDA for official production permit and product certification (8-9 months) The trial production of the potential new product will be monitored by an SFDA inspector who will also make onsite visits and assess the results of the trial production. We will also be required to prepare and submit to the SFDA a report of the trial production results by gathering statistical information obtained during the trial period.

The CDE will also conduct a final review of the trial production for the potential new product. Upon satisfactory completion of the trial production, the CDE will inform the SFDA. The SFDA will then issue a permit to us for official production, the issuance of which is announced on the SFDA's website, and copied to the NICPBP and the provincial FDA. The SFDA will also issue the new product a Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, certification. The provincial FDA will follow with the issuance of a provincial production permit for the new product.

Although the SFDA's criteria for final approval of new products are not publicly available in the PRC, if a manufacturer makes the adjustments to its methods and procedures recommended by the SFDA earlier on in the product approval process, it is likely that the SFDA will approve the new product for production.

10 Commercial Production Following issuance of state and provincial production permits and certifications, we may begin production of the new product.

We have been approved by the state to collect plasma from human donors and manufacture and sell plasma-based biopharmaceutical products in Shandong Province.  We expect increased competition in this market largely due to recent calls to move government approval to the central government level or to speed up the approval process at the local level.  In addition, we have heard that the central government is planning to speed up the approval process for the introduction of  generic versions of our Factor 8 products which would compete with these products.  We believe that our major competitors in the albumin and immunoglobulin market in China are Hualan Biological Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Biological Products, Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co. Ltd., Chengdu Ronsheng Pharmaceuticals, and Sichuan Yuanda Shuyang Pharmaceutical Co.

In addition, competition from imported products and China's admission as a member of the WTO creates increased competition for us.  The PRC became a member of the WTO in December 2001. Competition in the biopharmaceutical industry in the PRC will intensify generally in two respects.  With lower import tariffs, we anticipate that imported biopharmaceutical products manufactured overseas may become increasingly competitive with domestically produced products in terms of pricing.  We also believe that foreign biopharmaceutical manufacturers with more experience may set up production facilities in the PRC and compete with domestic manufacturers directly.  With the expected increased supply of competitively priced biopharmaceutical products in the PRC we may be faced with increased competition by foreign biopharmaceutical products, including the types of products manufactured by US manufacturers and other manufacturers.

According to a 2006 Hua Yuan Medicine Net survey of the profit ranking of companies in the Chinese biological products industry, we are ranked the 20th in 2006 and 25th in 2005, and in the plasma products area, we were ranked 5th  in 2006. Our past financial performance is attributable to our market position in the industry.  Furthermore, while each of the plasma products related companies have their own product composition which include 3 main categories namely human albumin, human immunoglobulin and lyophilized human factor, we are currently developing lyophilized human factor products which we expect to launch new products in 2008.  We will continue to meet challenges and secure our market position by enhancing our existing products, introducing new products to meet customer demand, delivering quality products to our customers in a timely manner and maintaining our established industry reputation.  

 

Taxation

 

Prior to March 2007, PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC accounting principles. In accordance with "Income Tax Law of China for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises," or the Income Tax Law, and the related implementing rules, foreign invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC are generally subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33% (representing state income tax of 30% plus local income tax of 3%). The Income Tax Law and the related implementing rules provide certain favorable tax treatments to foreign invested enterprises in the PRC.  PRC domestic companies are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC and are generally subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33%. On March 16, 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People's Congress passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC which will take effect on January 1, 2008. The Enterprise Income Tax rate will be lowered from 33% to 25%.

 

As a sino-foreign joint venture company, Shandong Taibang has been granted preferential tax holiday by the Tax Bureau of the PRC as of 2003.  Accordingly, Shandong Taibang is entitled to tax concessions from 2003 whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year is exempt from income tax in the PRC, and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing state income tax rate. Local income tax of 3% is exempted for five years starting from the first profit-making year.  Shandong Taibang will be allowed the benefits of tax holidays under the grandfather treatment over a five-year transition period, and the applicable income rate will be 25% after the tax holiday.

For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared To September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Revenues.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, revenues were $25.4 million, compared to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $10.4 million, or 68.8%.  The increase is due primarily to a general increase in the price of plasma based products, which was offset by a decrease in our sales volume for two of our products.  All of our approved products recorded price increases ranging from 5.2% to 217.2%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the average price for our approved human albumin products, which contributed 69.3% to our total revenue, increased 20.1%, the average price for our approved human immunoglobulin for intravenous Injection, which contributed 6.9% to our revenue, increased 217.2%, and the average price for our approved human rabies immunoglobulin, which contributed 14.8% to our revenue, increased 19.2%, as compared to the same period in 2006. Volume sales for our approved human albumin, human hepatitis B immunoglobulin, and human rabies immunoglobulin products increased by 23.1%, 127.3% and 104.2%, respectively, while the sales volume for our human immunoglobulin for intravenous use decreased by 13.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006.  

 

The 68.8% increase in total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, was due to the government's stringent control on the quality standard of the plasma-based production industry, which resulted in a shortage in the supply of finished products.  We were able to adjust our production plan to take advantage of the limited market supply of plasma resources to realize higher profit margins. In addition, there is a shortage in the market supply for human albumin products which has increased the value of our products to the market place.  According to the SFDA spokeswoman, Ms. Yan Jiang Ying in a September 2007 press conference, there is a critical shortage in the market supply of human albumin due to the shortage of plasma raw material. According to Ms. Yan, the overall market supply of human albumin was 117 tons, 127 tons and 48 tons during 2005, 2006 and the first 8 months of 2007, respectively.  Our sales of human albumin products for 2005, 2006 and the first 8 months of 2007 were 4.2 tons, 6 tons and 5 tons, respectively, which we believe, in light of the SFDA supply data, represents a steady increase in our market share for the periods 2005, 2006 and for the first eight months of 2007 from 3.6%, to 4.7% and to10.4%, respectively.

31


 

Cost of Revenues.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our cost of revenues increased to $8.3 million, from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a $1.8 million, or 27.8% increase.  However, as a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenues decreased by 10.4% from 43.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to 32.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease in our cost as a percentage of revenues is due primarily to our management's ability to maintain efficiencies in our production process.

 

Gross Profit.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the gross profit increased to $17.1 million, from $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an $8.6 million, or 99.7% increase.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 57.0%, to 67.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  This 10.4% increase in gross profit was mainly due to the increased demand for our products, as well as the price increase of all our products, which increased our gross profit margin.

 

Operating Expenses. Our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $2.6 million, or 85%, to $5.7 million, from $3.1 million for the same period in 2006.  As a percentage of sales revenue, our total operating expenses increased to 22.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from 20.5% for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our selling expenses during the 2007 period.

 

Selling Expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our selling expenses increased to $2.4 million, from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a $1.8 million, or 254.3% increase.  As a percentage of revenues, our selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 5.02%, to 9.61%, from 4.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase is due to our award of sales bonuses of  $0.36 million to our employees for our outstanding achievement in revenue. Moreover, we have aggressively launched our marketing efforts by holding more conferences in conjunction with our distributors in most major cities, at an additional cost of approximately $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared same period last year. In connection with these marketing efforts, our sales force also incurred additional entertainment and traveling expenses of approximately $0.3 million.
 

General and Administrative Expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our general and administrative expenses increased to $2.8 million, from $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a $0.9 million, or 44.8% increase.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher professional fees which amounted to approximately $0.5 million, and staff costs of approximately $0.24 million incurred during the 2007 period in connection with our preparation of the registration statement which was filed on September 5, 2007.  In addition, we also paid staff performance bonuses of approximately $0.3 million for outstanding company performance in the 2007 period.  We also hired 10% more staff and increased the salaries of our seconded staff by 20%, which accounted for an additional $0.14 million during the 2007 period.
 

Research and Development Expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, our research and development expenses remained unchanged at $0.4 million.  As a percentage of revenues, our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were 1.7% and 2.9%, respectively. The decrease in percentage was mainly due to the increase in our revenues for the nine-month period in 2007.

 

Income before Taxes and Minority Interest.   Income before taxes and minority interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $11.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, an increase of $5.9 million, or 111.5%.  Income before taxes and minority interest as a percentage of revenues was 44.1% and 35.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.   The increase is due directly to an increase in the demand for our products, as well as our ability to maintain a low cost of revenue.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.   Our provision for income taxes was $1.9 million and $1.0 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is the result of the 111.5% increase in our income before taxes.

 

Net Income.   As a result of the demand for our products, our higher sale price, and our ability to maintain a relatively low cost of revenue, our net income increased $4.2 million or 124.7%, from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to $7.6 million for the same period in 2007.

32


Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 

Revenues. Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products. Our revenues increased 92.3%, or $10.7 million, to $22.2 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, compared to revenues of $11.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in revenues during fiscal year 2006 is primarily attributable to the continuously increasing demand for our approved human albumin products. The demand for our human albumin products has continuously increased due to an increase in the PRC standard of living leading to more interest in elective procedures, such as plastic surgery and the attendant need for albumin products. In addition, there is a shortage in the market supply for human albumin products which has increased the value of our products to the market place. According to the SFDA spokeswoman, Ms. Yan Jiang Ying in a September 2007 release, there is a critical shortage in the market supply of human albumin due to the shortage of plasma raw material. According to Ms. Yan, the overall market supply of human albumin was 117 tons, 127 tons and 48 tons during 2005, 2006 and the first 8 months of 2007, respectively. Our sales of human albumin products for 2005, 2006 and the first 8 months of 2007 were 4.2 tons, 6 tons and 5 tons, respectively, which we believe, in light of the SFDA supply data, represents a steady increase in our market share for the periods 2005, 2006 and for the first eight months of 2007 from 3.6%, to 4.7% and to 10.4% respectively.

 

Because of the recent rabies outbreak in China, our approved human rabies immunoglobulin is currently our second largest product by sales. We were able to timely react to the sudden increase in market demand as a result of this outbreak. Our ability to react quickly has allowed us to acquire a larger portion of the market share than many of our competitors who were unable to produce as much human rabies immunoglobulin within the same time frame. Our successful experience confirmed the importance of broadening our product portfolio in preparation for new epidemic outbreaks.

  

Revenue from sales of our products is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.  No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods, or when the amount of revenue and costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction cannot be measured reliably.  We have no formal goods returns policy and will only accept returned products in very exceptional situations.  The dollar amount of our returned products is not material compared to our revenue and we do not make any accruals.  There was only $4,390 and nil returns for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  Our sales invoices are denominated in the Renminbi.

Our sales have historically been made on the basis of short-term arrangements and our largest customers have changed over the years.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 10% and 12.3%, respectively, of our total revenue.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our largest customer accounted for approximately 2.9% and 2.8%, of our revenue respectively. As we continue to diversify our geographic presence, customer base and product mix, we expect that our largest customers will continue to change from year to year.

 

Cost of Revenues.  Our cost of sales increased $3.4 million, or 54.7 %, to $9.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, from $6.2 million during the same period in 2005.  This increase was mainly due to an increase in sales volume especially human albumin and human rabies immunoglobulin.  Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales revenue was 43.2% for the years ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 53.7 % during the same period in 2005.   Human albumin and human rabies immunoglobulin, two of our major products, recorded a significant increase and accounted for 87.7% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.  Our revenues generated from human albumin for the year ended December 31, 2006, increased 68.4%, to 75.5% of our total revenue, compared with the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was caused by the combined effect of an increase in our volume of sales by 43.6% and a 17.3% increase in price.  However, our costs in connection with our approved human albumin products only increased 54.4% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, compared to fiscal year 2005. Our approved human rabies immunoglobulin product accounted for 12.2% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, which was a 1,263% increase when compared its contribution to our total revenue for fiscal year 2005.   The increase was caused by a 927% increase in sales volume and a 48% increase in the price of our human rabies immunoglobulin product, as compared to fiscal year 2005.  However our costs in connection with our human rabies immunoglobulin product only increased by 859%, as compared to our costs for fiscal year 2005.  As a result, our total costs of revenue reduced from 53.7% for fiscal year 2005, to 43.2% for fiscal year 2006.

Gross Profit.  Our gross profit increased $7.3 million, or 136%, to $12.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $5.4 million for the same period in 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of sales revenue was 56.8 % for the years ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 46.3% during the same period in 2005.  Such percentage increase was mainly due to an increase in our profit margin and in the volume of our approved human albumin, human rabies immunoglobulin and human tetanus immunoglobulin products sold during 2006.

33


 

Operating Expenses.  Our total operating expenses increased $3.6 million, or 128.1%, to $6.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, from $2.8 million for the same period in 2005.  As a percentage of sales revenue, our total expenses increased to 29% for the years ended December 31, 2006 from 24.4% for the same period in 2005.  The dollar increase was primarily attributable to our full accrual as general and administrative expenses of the $811,060 penalty owed to investors for failure to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement.  The dollar increase was also attributable to a $384,000 increase in management expenses related to entertainment and traveling in connection with the reverse acquisition and an $119,000 increase in sales staff performance bonus during the period.

 

Income Tax Expense.  Our provision for income taxes increased $0.35 million or 85.2%, to $0.75 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 from $0.4 million for the same period in 2005.  Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2006 was 3.4%, and our 2005 effective tax rate was 3.5%.

   

Net Income before Minority Interest.  Our net income before minority interest increased $3 million, or 145%, to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $2.1 million for the same period in 2005.  This increase is primarily attributable to the increase of the volume of sales and the profit margin of our major products especially, our approved human albumin, human rabies immunoglobulin and human tetanus immunoglobulin products.  This increase occurred even though we had a $3.6 million, or 128%, increase in operating expenses due to more general and administrative related to the reverse acquisition transaction that we consummated in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow and Working Capital

 

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, short-term bank borrowings, as well as equity contributions by our shareholders.  We had aggregate short-term bank loans of RMB10 million (approximately $1.3 million) as at September 30, 2007, which are due in February 2008.  These loans bear a fixed interest rate of 6.12% per annum.

 

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had approximately $6.1 and $4.3 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits.

Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash provided by our operating activities was $10.8 million, which is an increase of $10.8 million, or 44013.5%, from $0.02 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2006. Our increase in cash provided in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was mainly due to the $4.2 million increase in our net income.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the decrease in our receivables provided us with $1.5 million in net cash and enabled us to shorten our customer payment terms.  Overall, we believe that our cash flow from our operating activities and the existing credit facilities available to us should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through the next twelve months.

34


 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $0.01 million net cash used for operating activities for the same period in 2005.  Our main source of operating cash was receipts from customers, and cash payments to acquire raw materials were our main use for operating cash.

 

As disclosed above, we effectively acquired a 41% equity interest in Shandong Taibang on March 17, 2005 and an additional 41.76% equity interest on September 2, 2005.  The increase of net cash flow during this period was generated from changes in operating assets and liabilities (net of effect of purchase of Shandong Taibang). Cash provided by operating activities is derived from increase in payables. The increase in usage is due mainly to the working capital usage (increase in accounts receivable, inventory level and prepayments) due to the increase business volume as our business continued to grow during the period.

Investing Activities

 

Our use of cash for investing activities is primarily for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we used $7.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in investing activities.  Of the $7.2 million used during the 2007 period: $2.9 million was used for our new production line; $1.3 million was used for the fixed assets acquired from the predecessors of our newly established plasma companies; $0.2 million was used for intangible assets such as land use rights and software licenses; and the remaining $2.8 million was used for the purchase of additional equipment for our subsidiary, Shandong Taibang and for our newly established plasma companies.

 

Net cash used for investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2006 was $3.5 million, as compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2005.  The increase of net cash used for investing activities was mainly attributable to the purchase of plant and equipment for our production facility during the 2006 period.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 totaled $2.0 million as compared to $3.4 million provided by financing activities in the same period of 2006.  The increase of the cash used for financing activities was mainly attributable to our repayment of a short term bank loan and a dividend paid to minority shareholders.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $4.1 million as compared to $1.5 million provided by financing activities in the same period of 2005.  The increase of the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds from stock insurance and release of a pledged deposit during 2006.

 

On July 18, 2006, we completed a private placement of 2,200,000 shares of our common stock and 2,080,000 shares of our common stock held by our two controlling shareholders to a group of accredited investors who are among the selling stockholders listed in this prospectus.  Gross proceeds received by us from the private placement amounted to approximately $4.2 million.  We did not directly receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the controlling shareholders.  However, the controlling shareholders used all of the proceeds received by them to repay outstanding amounts owed by them to us in the aggregate amount of $2.2 million and then made a loan to us of the remaining $0.91 million of net proceeds that they received in the offering.  A portion of the proceeds of the private placement was injected into Shandong Taibang to meet a $3.3 million capital contribution requirement that Logic Express had in Shandong Taibang.  Part of the proceeds was placed in escrow as described more fully elsewhere herein, until registration of the capital contribution with the PRC authorities was complete and, upon release, was used primarily to repay indebtedness owed to Shandong Taibang. All outstanding amounts owed to Shandong Taibang were settled in August 2006.

We expect that we will repay the foregoing loans upon maturity out of operating cash flows or through a refinancing of the debt.

Giving effect to the foregoing bank loans and other financing activities, we expect that cash on hand, funds generated from our operations and funds generated from companies that we may acquire in the future will be sufficient to satisfy our current and future commitments for at least the next twelve months.  We do not believe that we have any significant short term liquidity problems.  We plan to use surplus cash from our operations to repay outstanding indebtedness owed to financial institutions.  In late 2007, we are planning to increase our production capacity by establishing a new production line with total investment of approximately $4 million.  We believe that we currently have sufficient cash on hand and other resources to satisfy the capital requirements for establishing this production line.  In addition, we have approximately USD$10 million banking facility, of which approximately $8.7 million remains available, that we can draw down upon in the event that unforeseen liquidity requirements arise.

Below is a brief summary of the payment obligations under material contacts to which we are a party:

In connection with the private placement transaction, on July 18, 2006, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which we agreed to file within 45 days of the closing date, a registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to the investors in the private placement.  We failed to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement, which resulted in liquidated damages in the amount of $811,060 which we recognized in general and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2006.  The shares being registered under this registration statement are the shares of our common stock issued and the shares of common stock underlying warrants issued in connection with the private placement.

On February 9, 2007, our Chinese subsidiary Shandong Taibang entered into a loan agreement with the China Bank of Communications, for two loans in the aggregate principal amount of RMB10,000,000 (approximately $1.3 million). The interest rate for these loans is 6.12% per annum and the loans have a maturity date of February 9, 2008 and February 28, 2008, respectively.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, if the loans are not paid in full on their respective maturity dates, the interest rate will be increased by another 50% of the interest rate per annum until payment is made.  Shandong Taibang agreed that it will use the loans solely for working capital purposes.  Furthermore, if the loans are used for any other purpose than to fund the purchase of raw materials, the Bank will have the right to increase the interest rate by up to 100% of the interest rate per annum. In addition, the Bank will have the right to accelerate the payment of principal and interest if: Shandong Taibang breaches the agreement; any event occurs to Shandong Taibang that will produce a material adverse effect on its financial position or ability to repay its debt; or if during the course of other business with the Bank, Shandong Taibang delays in fulfilling its contractual obligations after repetitive notices demanding rectification.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingent Liabilities

We have capital commitments of $1.2 million outstanding for purchase of equipment at September 30, 2007. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors. As of September 30, 2007, the company recorded a contingency liability of $75,593 for it share of the judgment related to its dispute with Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. in the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, as disclosed under the heading "Legal Proceeding" herein.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FIN 48.  In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretations No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 or FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in return.  FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective at the beginning of 2007 and had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No.157.  In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No.157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No.157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No.157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No.157 does not require any new fair value measurements. Under SFAS No.157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No.157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.157 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108.  In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements: SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement.  The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material.  SAB 108 is effective for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, with early application encouraged.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 00-19-2.  In December 2006, FASB issued FSB EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for  Contingencies.  The FSB EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for new and modified registration payment arrangements.  Arrangements that were entered into before the Staff Position was issued would become subject to its guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than other in their application.

37


 

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization and satisfaction of our existing liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
 

Revenue Recognition. Our revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added taxes, sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. We recognize revenue when the risks and rewards of our sales are certain. It normally represents that when our products are delivered, and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

 

Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Upon Acquisition.  There were fair value adjustments determined in connection with the acquisitions of Shandong Taibang's equity interest as of March 17, 2005 and September 2, 2005.  On the date of an acquisition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Shandong Taibang were adjusted to their estimated fair values.  The most significant estimates pertained to determining the fair values of the plant and equipment acquired.  Fair values of these assets were determined based on replacement cost.  Any change in such assumptions and judgment would affect the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

Collectibility of Accounts Receivable.  We offer different credit terms to our customers based on criteria such as working relationship, payment history, creditworthiness and their financial position. All credit terms are to be approved by our finance department, in consultation with our sales and marketing department. We generally grant credit period of no longer than 30 days to distributors with some exceptions. For hospitals and clinics, we generally grant credit period of no longer than 90 days.  

 

We make specific allowance for doubtful accounts receivable after taking into account the aging of accounts receivable and in consultation with our sales and marketing department. We also provide allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility.  All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by aging of such balances. We have not experienced any significant bad debts and bad debt provisions.  Bad debt expenses for 2006 and 2005 were $0.04 million and $0.4million, respectively.

 

Inventories.  Due to its unique nature, our principal raw material, human blood plasma is subject to various quality and safety control issues which include, but are not limited to, contaminations and blood born diseases.  In addition, limitations of current technology pose biological hazards inherent in plasma that have yet to be discovered, which could result in a widespread epidemic due to blood infusion.  In the event that human plasma is discovered to contain pathogens or infectious agents or other bio-hazards, we would be required to write down our inventory to net realizable value. We determine the net realizable value of our inventories on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate inventories that may be worth less than current carrying amounts. No provision for inventory write down was required for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Total inventories amounted to $6.1 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In order to ensure that the growing demand for our products is met, we have been gradually increasing our inventory level of raw materials. We strictly follow the production processes required by government regulations resulting in the relatively high level of work-in-progress customary to our industry.

38


 

Impairment of long-lived assets.  We review periodically the carrying amounts of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with finite useful lives, to assess whether they are impaired. We evaluate these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable such as a change of business plan, technical obsolescence, or a period of continuous losses. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In determining estimates of future cash flows, significant judgment in terms of projection of future cash flows and assumptions is required. There were no impairment charges recognized for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.  

 

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates and assumptions, including those related to the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and realizable values for inventories.  Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

 

Contingencies.  In the normal course of business, we are subject to contingencies, including, legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability.  We recognize a liability for such contingency if we determine that it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made.  We may consider many factors in making these assessments, including past history and the specifics of each matter.  As we have not become aware of any product liability claim since operations commenced, we have not recognized a liability for any product liability claims.

 

Segment Reporting.  We have one operating segment, as that term is defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments on an Enterprise and Related Information."  Also, all of our revenue is derived in the PRC.  Accordingly, no segment information is presented.

 

Accounting Basis.  The U.S. GAAP accounting basis utilized by us and our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, is different in certain material respects from that used in the preparation of statutory financial statements of Shandong Taibang that are filed with the PRC government. The statutory financial statements of Shandong Taibang that are filed with the PRC government are in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable in the PRC as established by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (i.e., they are prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP).

 

Reporting Currencies.  Our functional currency is Renminbi or RMB and our reporting currency is United States Dollars, or $.  Amounts included in the accompanying financial statements are in $ and not RMB.  Result of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of the period.  No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into $ at that rate or at any particular rate at end of each period, or any other date.

 

Seasonality of our Sales

 

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations.  This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.  

 

Inflation

 

Inflation in the PRC has not had any material impact on our business in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 1.2%, 3.9%, 1.8% and 1.5% in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

OUR CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY

Our Corporate Structure

 

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of the date of this prospectus.

 

Our Corporate Background

China Biologic Products, Inc. was originally incorporated on December 20, 1989 under the laws of the State of Texas as Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc.  On November 20, 2000, Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. changed its corporate name to Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. Acquisition Corp., or Shepherd.  Shepherd is the survivor of a May 28, 2003, merger between Shepherd and GRC Holdings, Inc. or GRC.  In the merger, the company adopted the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of GRC and changed its corporate name to GRC Holdings, Inc.  On January 10, 2007, a Plan of Conversion became effective pursuant to which GRC was converted into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to China Biologic Products, Inc.

40


Our Acquisition of Logic Express

On July 19, 2006, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Logic Express, whereby we issued to the stockholders of Logic Express, 18,484,715 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Logic Express and its majority-owned Chinese operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang.  As a result of the reverse acquisition transaction with Logic Express, Logic Express became our 100% owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Logic Express became our controlling shareholders with 96.1% of our common stock.  Shandong Taibang became our 82.76%-owned indirect subsidiary and is the operating company for all of our commercial operations.  Our operating company, Shandong Taibang, is a sino-foreign joint venture company established on October 23, 2002 with a registered capital of RMB80 million (approximately $10.3 million).  Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, Timothy P. Halter, our sole director prior to the reverse acquisition, submitted his resignation letter pursuant to which he resigned from all offices he held and from his position as our director, effective immediately.  Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li were appointed as our directors at the closing of the reverse acquisition of Logic Express.  In addition, our executive officer was replaced by the Logic Express executive officers named herein at the closing of the reverse acquisition.

 

As a part of the reverse acquisition transaction, we agreed to register 500,000 shares of our common stock held in the name of PDS-HFI Partners, a company beneficially owned by Timothy P. Halter. PDS-HFI Partners, subsequently transferred these shares in a private transaction to The Pinnacle Fund LP,  pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated August 20, 2007.

The reverse acquisition transaction involving Logic Express and us is considered to be a recapitalization (issuance of stock by Logic Express for our net monetary assets) in substance, rather than a business combination.  Logic Express is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired us.  The financial information prior to the reverse take-over represented the consolidated financial information of Logic Express.

Private Placement Transaction

On July 19, 2006, we completed a private placement transaction with a group of accredited investors.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement as amended, we sold five-year warrants to purchase 1,070,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.8425 per share and 2,200,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $1.895 per unit, or approximately $4.2 million in gross proceeds.  In addition, two of our controlling shareholders, Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li, sold an aggregate of 2,080,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.895 per share, or approximately $3.9 million to the same investors.  

Lane Capital Markets, LLC acted as exclusive placement agent and financial advisor in connection with the transaction.  As compensation for its services, the Placement Agent received a cash fee equal to $1,046,500, representing 10% of the combined gross proceeds received from the sale of the shares, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offering amounting to 3% of the proceeds.  In addition, Lane and its potential designee(s) received five-year warrants to purchase 214,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.8425 per share.

In connection with the private placement transaction, on July 18, 2006, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which we agreed to file within 45 days of the closing date, a registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to the investors in the private placement.  We failed to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement, which resulted in liquidated damages in the amount of $811,060 which we recognized in general and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2006.  The shares being registered under this registration statement are the shares of our common stock issued and the shares of common stock underlying warrants issued in connection with the private placement.

41


On July 19, 2006, our majority stockholders, Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the private placement investors, pursuant to which, Ms. Chan and Ms. Li agreed to deposit in an escrow account a total of 4,280,000 shares of our common stock owned by them, to be held for the benefit of the investors.  Ms. Chan and Ms. Li agreed that, if we do not reach a threshold of at least $4,819,500 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $5,823,465 of after-tax net income before minority interest, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, and at least $8,302,000 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $10,031,416 of after-tax net income before minority interest for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the escrow agent may deliver their escrowed shares to the investors, based upon a pre-defined formula agreed to between the investors and Ms. Chan and Ms. Li. However, if the after tax net income threshold is met, the shares in escrow will be returned to Ms. Chan and Ms. Li. Pursuant to the escrow agreement, (i) the release of the make good shares to the shareholders as a result of operation of the make good agreement, (ii) the payment of liquidated damages accrued according to the registration rights agreement; and (iii) the gain or loss on change in fair value of warrants, are not deemed to be an income or expense item in calculating the after-tax net income for the purpose of the escrow agreement. If such performance thresholds are met, the shares are to be returned to Ms Li Lin Ling and Ms Chan Siu Ling. We have met the after-tax net income before minority interest performance threshold for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Acquisition of Plasma Stations

In December 2006, our subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, entered into asset transfer agreements with the Shandong Provincial government to acquire all the assets of five plasma stations in Shandong Province, for an aggregate consideration of $2,472,846.  The value of the assets was determined by qualified valuation experts registered in the PRC. We obtained the permit to operate them in January 2007.  In January 2007, Shandong Taibang entered into letters of intent to acquire certain assets of two plasma stations in Guangxi Province, for a total consideration of $741,104.  They obtained their operating permits in February and April 2007, respectively.  The consideration paid for these acquisitions was determined based on independent valuations performed by qualified valuation experts based in the PRC.

We acquired the assets of these plasma stations through separate Shandong Taibang subsidiaries, specially formed for this purpose. The subsidiaries holding six of our new plasma stations are the Xia Jin Plasma Company, the Qi He Plasma Company, the He Ze Plasma Company, the Huan Jiang Plasma Company, the Yang Gu Plasma Company, and the Zhang Qiu Plasma Company. The seventh plasma station is held in the Fang Cheng Plasma Company, which is 80% owned by Shandong Taibang and 20% owned by Lin Feng, an unrelated third party.

In January 2007, Shandong Taibang also signed a letter of intent to acquire certain assets from a third plasma station in Guangxi Province.  However, there can be no assurance that the acquisition of these assets can be completed or continue on the same terms that we have initially agreed to in the letter of intent as the permit for this station is in dispute.  Please refer to "Legal Proceedings" for more information regarding this dispute.

 

Establishment of Shandong Medical

 

In September 2006, Shandong Taibang applied to establish a wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Missile Medical Co., Ltd., or Shandong Medical, with registered capital of $384,600, which was fully paid on March 1, 2007.  On February 7, 2007, Shandong Medical has obtained a distribution license for biological products, except for vaccine, from the Shandong Food and Drug Authority, or SFDA, for a license period of 5 years from the date of obtaining the license.  The registration of Shandong Medical was ultimately approved by Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation on July 4, 2007 and Shandong Medical was formally registered on July 19, 2007.  The scope of business is wholesale of biological products, except vaccine, with a license period of 25 years from the date of registration. As of September 30, 2007, Shandong Medical has commenced limited operations.

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company and through our indirect majority-owned Chinese subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, we are principally engaged in the research, development, production and manufacturing of plasma-based pharmaceutical products in China.  Shandong Taibang operates from our manufacturing facility located in Taian City, Shandong Province.  The plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is highly restricted by both the state and central governments.  Accordingly, the manufacturing process of our products is strictly monitored from plasma collection from human donors to finished products.  

The time required to build, furnish and obtain the operating permit for a plasma collection station could take up a year or more, depending on the time spent obtaining a plasma collection permit from the Health Department. In addition, it could take a prospective manufacturer between 2 – 5 years to build a manufacturing plant and obtain the relevant state and local approval to sell its plasma products. A prospective manufacturer must first obtain a Production Permit from the Provincial Food and Drug Authority and a Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, certificate from the PRC State Food and Drug Authority, or the SFDA. Each product category has to be separately approved by the SFDA, and a manufacturer may not sell its product before obtaining relevant SFDA approval. The cost of obtaining state and local approval depends on the scale and technical ability of the manufacturer. We have been approved by the state to collect plasma from human donors and manufacture and sell plasma-based biopharmaceutical products in Shandong Province.

 Particularly applied to patients who have allergic reactions to Tetanus Antitoxin. (3)

   

1. " %" represents the degree of dosage concentration for the product and each product has its own dosage requirement. For example, Human Albumin 20%/10ml means 2g of Human Albumin is contained in each 10ml packaging and Human Immunoglobulin 10%/3ml means 300mg of Human Immunoglobulin is contained in each 3ml packaging. Under PRC law, each variation in the packaging, dosage and concentration of medical products requires registration and approval by the SFDA. During this process the altered product is not commercially available for sale. For example, among our Human Albumin products only Human Albumin 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml and 20%/50ml products are currently approved and are commercially available.

2. "IU" means International Units, or IU. IU is a unit used to measure the activity of many vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and drugs. An IU is the amount of a substance that has a certain biological effect. For each substance there is an international agreement on the biological effect that is expected for 1 IU. In the case of Immunoglobulin, it means the number of effective units of antibodies in each package. When exposed to an antigen, the body views it as foreign material, and takes steps to neutralize the antigen. Typically, the body accomplishes this by making antibodies, which are intended to defend the body from invasion by potentially dangerous substances. These antibodies can be beneficial, as is the case when the body learns to fight a virus, or they can be harmful, in the instance of allergies. In a situation when the body cannot effectively react with these antigens, injection of our product will provide sufficient antibodies to neutralize the antigens.

3. "Tetanus Antitoxin" is a cheaper injection treatment for tetanus. However it is not widely used because most people are allergic to it.

44


Human albumin is principally used to increase blood volume while immunoglobulin is used for certain disease preventions and cures. Albumin is also used to treat critically ill patients by replacing lost fluid and maintaining adequate blood volume and pressure. Our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products use human plasma as the basic raw material. All of our approved products are prescription medicines in the form of injections.

Under PRC law, each variation in the packaging, dosage and concentration of medical products requires registration and approval by the SFDA. During this process the altered product is not commercially available for sale. For example, among our human albumin products only Human Albumin 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml and 20%/50ml products are currently approved and are commercially available. Accordingly, all references, in this prospectus to our manufacture and sale of human albumin relates to our approved human albumin products.

We have product liability insurance covering all of our products.  However, since our establishment in 2002, there has not been any product liability claims nor legal action filed against us brought by patients due to the use of our products.  

 

Our Industry

Human Albumin and Immunoglobulin Products

Our principal products are our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products, with human plasma as the main ingredient.  About 55% of human blood is composed of a liquid known as plasma. The remaining 45% of human blood is made of three major types of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Plasma carries a large number of important proteins, including albumin, gamma globulin, and clotting factors. Albumin is the main protein in blood. It helps regulate the water content of tissues and blood. Gamma globulin is composed of tens of thousands of unique antibody molecules. Antibodies neutralize or help destroy infectious organisms. Each antibody is designed to target one specific invading organism.

The Plasma Product Industry in China

Plasma-based biopharmaceutical products are manufactured from healthy human plasma. The collection of plasma for the production of such products is influenced by factors such as government regulations, geographical locations of collection stations, sanitary conditions of collection stations, living standards of the donors, and cultural and religious beliefs. The collection of human plasma in China is regulated, and until recently, only licensed Plasmapheresis stations owned and operated by the government could collect human plasma. Each collection station was only allowed to supply plasma to the one manufacturer that had signed the "Quality Responsibility" statement with them. However, in March 2006, the Ministry of Health promulgated certain "Measures on Reforming Plasma Collection Stations," or the Blood Collection Measures, whereby the ownership and management of PRC plasma stations are required to be transferred to plasma-based biopharmaceutical companies while the regulatory supervision and administrative control remain with the State. Plasma stations that did not complete their reform by December 31, 2006, risked revocation of their license to collect plasma. China currently has a severe shortage of plasma because the reform of the industry has led to the closure of many stations that did not meet the state's new industry standards.

45


We estimate that the current annual supply of plasma amounts to approximately 4,000 tons in China.  The supply of plasma has been on the decline since 2003 resulting from the State's mandate to reform the country's collection practices. Recent regulatory changes have improved the quality of blood and plasma by increasing cleanliness standards at blood collection stations and instituting measures which limit illegal selling of blood.  As the operation of the plasma stations become more regulated and the donor population expands, we believe that the overall quality of raw materials, such as human albumin will continue to increase, leading to a safer, more reliable finished product.

According to data released by the State Food and Drug Administration, sales of plasma products in China amounted to $322 million and $396 million in 2002 and 2003 respectively, an increase of approximately 23.1% from year to year.  In 2003, sales of albumin amounted to about $248 million, representing about 60% to 65% of the market.

In accordance with "Regulations on controlling blood products" promulgated in 1996, the retail price of certain plasma products including human albumin, IVIG and intramuscular IG are regulated by the State Pricing Bureau and the PRC Ministry of Health.

In addition to the low usage ratio between China and other more developed countries, there is also a significant difference in the make up and range of the plasma-based pharmaceutical products.  Based on our analysis, in most developed countries like United States, clotting factor products accounts for the majority of the plasma-based biopharmaceutical products, while in China, it is human albumin that accounts for a vast majority.

Plasma Collection in China

Substantially all plasma donations for commercialized plasma-based biopharmaceutical products are done through plasmapheresis donation stations.  Plasmapheresis donation means donors give only selected blood components — platelets, plasma, red cells, infection-fighting white cells called granulocytes, or a combination of these, depending on donors blood type and the needs of the community.  Plasmapheresis stations in China are commonly used to collect plasma.  In China, current regulations only allow an individual donor to donate blood in 14-day intervals, with a maximum quantity of 580ml (or about 600 gram) per donation.

The followings are the regulatory requirements for the establishment of a plasmapheresis station in China:

As a result of the overhaul by the four ministries of the State Council in May 2004, we estimate that the number of collection stations (including plasma stations) that meet the standards imposed by the State has been reduced from approximately 156 to approximately 121.  Currently the plasma stations are owned and managed by the PRC health authorities.  In March 2006, the Ministry of Health promulgated the Blood Collection Measures whereby the ownership and management of the plasma stations must be transferred to plasma-based biopharmaceutical companies while the regulatory supervision and administrative control remain with the State.  For those plasma stations which do not complete their reform by December 31, 2006, their license to collect plasma will be revoked.

Under normal circumstances, each station can only supply plasma to the one manufacturer that has signed the "Quality Responsibility" statement with them.  In addition, the manufacturer is prohibited from sourcing plasma outside its approved list of plasma station suppliers.  In the event of a supply shortage, the manufacturer can apply to the provincial health authorities to source plasma from other stations within the province.  Moreover, if the manufacturer wishes to source plasma from stations outside of the province, it must first file for approval by the local provincial health authorities.  The filing must be accompanied by a report on the status of the station.  The station must also file with the local provincial health authorities on the transfer of excess plasma.  The filing must be accompanied by a report on the status of the manufacturer.  Upon approval of both provincial health authorities to the transfer, they must separately file for approval with the State Ministry of Health.  The transfer is only legal after approval by the Ministry of Health.  We believe that although there are such practices in the market, outside sourcing is not prevalent because (i) the manufacturer has to identify the station that has excess supply; (ii) the station must be willing to supply to such manufacturer, and (iii) the local provincial health authorities and the Ministry of Health have to approve such an arrangement.

Our Competition

There are both local and overseas pharmaceutical enterprises that are engaged in the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products similar to our products in the PRC. These competitors may have more capital, better research and development resources, manufacturing and marketing capability and experience than we do. In our industry, we compete based upon product quality, product cost, ability to produce a diverse range of products and logistical capabilities. Our profitability may be adversely affected if (i) competition intensifies (ii) competitors drastically reduce prices or (iii) competitors develop new products having comparable medicinal applications or therapeutic effects which are more effective and /or less costly than those produced by us.

Approximately 34 other manufacturers of biopharmaceutical products are entitled to produce plasma-based pharmaceutical products in the PRC and many of these manufacturers are approved to produce the same types of human albumin and immunoglobulin products that we have been approved to produce. We believe that our major competitors in the albumin and immunoglobulin market in the PRC are Hualan Biological Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Biological Products, Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co. Ltd., Chengdu Ronsheng Pharmaceuticals, and Sichuan Yuanda Shuyang Pharmaceutical Co.

We believe that entry to the industry is very restricted due to the regulatory requirements, however, over time there may be new entrants into our industry. In addition, competition from imported products and China's admission as a member of the WTO in December 2001 creates the likelihood of increased competition for us. We believe that our competition will intensify generally in two respects: with lower import tariffs, we anticipate that imported biopharmaceutical products manufactured overseas may become increasingly competitive with domestically produced products in terms of pricing; and we also believe that foreign biopharmaceutical manufacturers with more experience may set up production facilities in the PRC and compete with domestic manufacturers directly. With the expected increased supply of competitively priced biopharmaceutical products in the PRC we may be faced with increased competition by foreign biopharmaceutical products, including the types of products manufactured by US manufacturers and other manufacturers.

In spite of the likelihood of increased competition, we believe that we will remain competitive in our industry. According to a 2006 Hua Yuan Medicine Net survey of the profit ranking of companies in the Chinese biological products industry, we are ranked the 20th in 2006 and 25th in 2005, and in the plasma products area, we were ranked 5th in 2006. Our past financial performance is attributable to our market position in the industry. Furthermore, while each of the plasma products related companies have their own product composition which include 3 main categories namely human albumin, human immunoglobulin and lyophilized human factor, we are currently developing lyophilized human factor products which we expect to launch new products in 2008. We will continue to meet challenges and secure our market position by enhancing our existing products, introducing new products to meet customer demand, delivering quality products to our customers in a timely manner and maintaining our established industry reputation.

Our Strategy

Our mission is to become a first-class biopharmaceutical enterprise in China.  To achieve this objective, we have implemented the following strategies:

Securing the supply of plasma – Due to the shortage of plasma and the reform of the ownership of plasma stations, our immediate strategy is to negotiate and acquire plasma stations so as to secure our plasma supply.  In June, 2006, we entered into letters of intent with five of the plasma stations in Shandong Province to acquire certain of their assets and we acquired those plasma stations in December 2006.  Furthermore, in January 2007, we entered into three letters of intent to acquire certain assets of three additional plasma stations in Guangxi Province, two of which we have acquired.  See "Raw Materials – Plasma" below.

Acquisition of competitors and/or other biologic related companies – In addition to organic growth, acquisition is an important part of our expansion strategy.  Although there are about 34 approved plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the market, we are of the view that only about half of them will be competitive.  Furthermore, we believe that the regulatory authorities are in advanced discussion on reforming the industry and those smaller, less competitive manufacturers will face the possibility of having their manufacturing permits revoked by the regulators, making them potential targets for acquisition.  Also, if we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may acquire additional companies, products or technologies in the biologic related sectors (including but not limited to medical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical).

 

Further strengthening of research and development capability – We believe that, unlike other more developed countries like the US, China's plasma-based biopharmaceutical products are at the initial stage of development.  There are many other plasma-based products that are being used in the US which are not currently being manufactured in China.  We intend to strengthen our research and development capability so as to expand our product line to include higher-margin, technologically more advanced plasma-based biopharmaceutical products.  We believe that our increased focus on research and development will give us a competitive advantage over our competitors

 

48

 


Market development and network expansion – Leveraging on the high quality and excellent safety record of our products, we intend (i) to enhance our product penetration with our existing customers by introducing new products and (ii) to extend the reach of our products from our current market to include other provinces where we envision significant market potential.

 

Our Intellectual Property

Pursuant to a Trademark License Agreement with the Shandong Institute, we hold the exclusive license to a Trademark Registration Certificate (No.3375484) for use of the trademark "Lu Yue," issued by the State Industry and Commerce Administration Trademark Bureau.  The class of goods on which the trademark has been approved to use include: drug for human beings, serum, microorganism products for medicine and veterinary medicine, plasma, medical blood, and medical biological product. The registration will expire in June 2014, the Shandong Institute has allowed us to use the trademark for free until May 2009.  We expect to develop and register our own trademark before the termination of this license.

In addition, we have registered the following domain name: www.ctbb.com.cn, which is currently used by our Shandong subsidiary.

Our Research and Development Efforts

 

Shandong Taibang's predecessor, the Shandong Institute, was established in 1971.  The Shandong Institute is the research arm established by and directly administrated by the Shandong Provincial health department. It was the only entity approved for the research, development and production of biological and plasma-based biopharmaceutical products in Shandong Province, the second largest province in China.  Since 1998, it promoted GMP management in the production process of blood products and became the first blood products manufacturing enterprise to obtain GMP Certification in China.  In 2002, the Shandong Institute transferred all of its business and the licenses necessary to carry on its business to our subsidiary, Shandong Taibang.  In 2005 and 2006, we were awarded the advanced high-tech enterprise certification by the Department of Science and Technology of Shandong Province and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, respectively.

We employ a market driven approach to initiate research and development projects including both product and production technique development.

We believe that the key to the industry revolves around (i) safety of products and (ii) maximizing the yield per unit volume of plasma.  Our research and development efforts are focused around the following areas:

 

Broaden the breadth and depth of our portfolio of plasma-based biopharmaceutical products;

Enhance the yield  per unit volume of plasma through new collection techniques;

Maximize manufacturing efficiency and safety;

Promote product safety through implementation of new technologies; and

Refine production technology for existing products.

Our research center is located on the same premises the factory which is located in Taian City, Shandong Province.  The research center is equipped with specialized equipment including advanced testing and analytical equipment, such as atomic absorptimeter, fully automated blood coagulation analyzer, high performance liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, radioimmunoassay analyzer, ultraviolet-visible pectrophotometer, and protein chromatograph, most of which have been imported from the US, Japan, Italy, Germany and Australia.  Our research and development department is comprised of about 30 researchers.  All of them hold degrees in areas such as medicine, pharmacy, biology, and biochemistry.  Our research center carries out development and registration of our products.

 

All the products we currently manufacture have been developed in-house.  The following table outlines our research and development work in progress:

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and for 2005, total research and development expenses amounted to approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, representing approximately 2.7% and 3.1%, respectively, of our revenues.  For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, total research and development expenses remained unchanged at $0.4 million, representing approximately 1.7% and 2.9%, respectively, of our revenues during such periods.

Our Marketing Efforts

Because all of our products are prescription drugs, we can only sell to hospitals and inoculation centers directly or through approved distributors.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, direct sales to distributors represented approximately 60% and 54%, respectively, of our revenues.

Our five largest customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 12.3% and 10% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Our largest customer both accounted for approximately 2.9% and 2.8% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

As part of our effort to ensure the quality of our distributors, we conduct due diligence to verify whether potential distributors have obtained necessary permits and licenses and facilities (such as cold storage) for the distribution of our biopharmaceutical products.  We also assess the distributors' financial condition before appointing them as distributors.  We normally enter into annual supply contracts with our hospital customers and regional distributors.  Certain of our regional distributors are appointed on an exclusive basis within a specified area.  The supply contracts normally set out the quantity and price of products.  For distributors, they also contain guidelines for the sale and distribution of our products, including restrictions on the geographical area to which the products could be sold. We provide our distributors with training in relation to our products and on sales techniques.  We have implemented a coding system for our products for easy tracking. Depending on the relationship and the creditability of the distributors, we generally grant a credit period of no longer than 30 days to distributors with some exceptions.  For hospitals and clinics, we generally grant a credit period of no longer than 90 days. Our bad debt expenses for 2006 and 2005 were $0.04 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Our current key market is in Shandong province, representing approximately 44% and 54% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Our strategy is to focus on our market efforts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and the northeastern part of China.

Our marketing and after-sales services department currently employs approximately 48 employees.

We believe that due to the unique nature of our product, the key emphasis on the marketing efforts centers on product safety, brand recognition, timely availability and pricing.  As all of our products are prescription medicines, we are not allowed to advertise our products in the mass media.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, total sales and marketing expenses amounted to approximately $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, representing approximately 8% and 14%, respectively, of our revenues.  For the nine-months period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, total sales and marketing expenses amounted to approximately $2.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, representing approximately 9.6% and 4.9%, respectively of our revenues.

Raw Materials

Plasma

Plasma is the principal raw material for our biopharmaceutical products.  The cost of raw materials included in our cost of sales for 2006 and 2005, were $9.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively and the cost of raw materials included in our cost of sales for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $6.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively.  There are currently six plasma stations in the Shandong Province, five of which we have recently acquired.  In April 2007, we acquired certain assets of two more plasma stations and signed letter of intent with one plasma station in the Guangxi Province, two of which already have the necessary permit to operate. When our production requirements exceed the plasma supply from the stations that we own or that we will acquire in the future, we will procure the supply deficiency from the blood centers operated by the regulators of Shandong and other Provinces.

51


We currently maintain sufficient plasma supply for approximately 60 days of production.  In March 2007, the State Food and Drug Administration implemented new measures on biopharmaceutical industry effective as of July 2008, requiring plasma raw material to be kept for at least 3 months before being put into production. As such, in due course we will extend our plasma supply for approximately 4 months.  We have not experienced any interruptions to our production due to shortage of plasma.

As discussed above under the caption "Our Industry," up until the end of 2006, all the stations were owned by the State.  In March 2006, the Ministry of Health promulgated the Blood Collection Measures, whereby the ownership and management of the plasma stations must be transferred to plasma-based biopharmaceutical companies while the regulatory supervision and administrative control remain with the State.  

In December 2006 acquired certain assets of five plasma stations through separate Shandong Taibang subsidiaries formed for this process, and we received the permit to operate in January 2007.  The acquisition was for certain of the assets and associated liabilities of the plasma stations, with the consideration based on the valuation of independent qualified appraisers in China and with reference to the attributable net asset value of the purchased assets.  The aggregate consideration for these five asset acquisitions amounted to RMB19.3 million (approximately $2.5 million), RMB11.2 million (approximately, $1.5 million) of which was paid before December 2006.  In January 2007, we entered into letters of intent to acquire certain assets from three plasma stations in Guangxi Province, two of which we have since acquired.  However, at present, there is still a legal dispute between the owner and a third party and there can be no assurance that the acquisition of the remaining one plasma station can be completed or on terms that we have initially agreed to in the letters of intent.

We believe that the acquisitions and contemplated acquisitions of plasma stations will result in several benefits to us.  We will have a controlled source of plasma and will be able to oversee the quality and quantity produced.  We will also be able to have increased control over the cost of plasma.  Finally, we believe that we will enjoy benefits of economies of scale with respect to the administration and management expenses of our several plasma stations.

Prior to our acquisition of the assets of Qi He, Xiajin and Zhang Qiu, we had entered into material supply agreements with them for the purchase of raw materials.  We have replaced these material supply agreements with plasma processing agreements, dated January 2, 2007, between Shandong Taibang and each of Oi He, Xia Jin and Zhang Qiu, pursuant to which the Company formally appoints each of these stations as its agent to purchase, collect, examine and deepfreeze plasma on behalf of Shandong Taibang, subject to rules and specifications that meet the Shandong Province Food and Drug Authority's requirements for quality, packaging and storage.  Pursuant to the plasma processing agreements, the stations must only collect plasma from healthy donors within their respective districts and in accordance with a time table set by Shandong Taibang.  The plasma must: be negative HbsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and reaction of serum to RPR; contain an ALT ≤25 units (ALT), plasma protein ≥55g/l; contain no virus pollution or visible erythrolysis, lipemia, macroscopic red blood cell or any other irregular finding.  In addition, the plasma must be packaged in 25 separate 600g bags, boxed with a packing list and labeled to be consistent with computer records and must be stored at  -20°C as soon as possible after collection to ensure that it will congeal within 6 hours.  Shandong Taibang will be fully responsible for the overall technical guidance and quality supervision.  Shandong Taibang will pay each of the stations a rate of RMB15 (approximately $2.0) per bag of plasma collected, with the payment for each batch due within 10 days after the delivery of the following batch of plasma.  Each of the plasma processing agreements with Oi He, Xia Jin and Zhang Qiu, will all expire on December 31, 2011.

We also purchase plasma under a plasma supply agreement, dated November 1, 2007, between Shandong Taibang and the Liao Cheng Tiantan Plasma Collection Co. Ltd. (formerly, the Shen County Plasma Collection Station), or the Liao Cheng Station. Pursuant to this agreement, we are obligated for the term of the agreement to purchase up to 40 tons of plasma from the Liao Cheng Station, at a price of RMB430,000 (approximately $58,540) per ton. In addition, we are obligated to pay an additional RMB20 (approximately $2.72) per bag, if delivered plasma contains 4 – 8 units of effective antigen and an additional and RMB30 (approximately $4) per bag, if delivered plasma contains above 8 units of effective antigen. The Liao Cheng Station provided 17.2% of our plasma supply during 2006. The agreement with the Liao Cheng Station will expire on December 31, 2008.

Regulation

The plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is highly restricted and supervised by both the Shandong Food and Drug Authority and the PRC Ministry of Health.  Such supervision includes the safety standards regulating our source supplies (mainly plasma), our manufacturing process through the issuance of our GMP Certification, and the approval and inspection of our finished products.

 

 The table below shows the PRC approval process for the manufacture and sale of new medicines:

 

Stage (Estimated Time Period) Activities
1 Planning Stage (1 month) Prior to the development of potential new products, our Research & Development department will engage in a comprehensive review of existing medical literature, patent status and market information, including expected product demand and other competition, in order to determine the feasibility of development and production of a new product offering. Although this typically takes about 1 month to complete, this stage precedes development efforts for a new product, which could take several months or even years to complete. For products with lengthy development periods, we may be required to periodically revisit this stage to confirm the feasibility of continued development efforts.
2 Feasibility study and assumption clarification (2 months) If we determine that development, ownership and marketing of a potential new product is possible and potentially advantageous, we proceed with development efforts. However, potential new products are typically developed in a laboratory or small batch setting, and in order to obtain approval for potential new products and to market new products, we must develop a plan for testing and producing the new product. The first step in developing such plan is a feasibility study and assumption clarification. This study is conducted following or during development of a new product, and involves a review and study of the feasibility of our technical, production and financial capabilities, production conditions and financial forecasts. We also review the feasibility of preparing and conducting a clinical study, or a Clinical Trial program, during this stage.
3 Develop scope and technique for testing the new medicine (6 months) If following completion of a Stage 2 study we make a determination that producing and testing a potential new product is feasible and potentially advantageous, we will develop the scope and techniques for testing the potential new product. This involves confirming the sourcing of materials needed for production and marketing of the potential new product and development of the method of production, dosage design and prescription selections. During this stage, we will also develop a clinical research sample.
4 Preparation of a virus inactivation report and submission to the NICPBP for preliminary review (4-6 months) If following development of testing methods for the potential new product we determine that testing can be successfully completed, we will prepare and finalize the virus inactivation method for the potential new product. We are then required to prepare a report with details on the production method and procedures and basis of quality evaluation for preliminary review by the NICPBP. NICPBP staff usually makes an onsite visit during this stage to supervise testing and re-testing of the virus inactivation process. Tested samples will be sent back to the NICPBP central office in Beijing for evaluation.
5 R&D test product information submitted to the SFDA for preliminary assessment (4-6 months)  Before the NICPBP can determine that our clinical research sampling and virus inactivation method and procedures are successful, we are required to submit our clinical research sampling and virus inactivation method and procedures to the SFDA via the provincial FDA for preliminary assessment. We also develop the parameters for a Clinical Trial program at this stage. Our program usually requires the establishment of a committee comprised of our Research and Development staff whose responsibility it will be to communicate with the hospitals and doctors who are invited to participate in the trial.

After our submission of information to the SFDA we will become subject to random onsite sampling by the SFDA as they review our reports and procedures regarding testing of the potential product. The SFDA will usually inform us of the exact sampling date and SFDA staff will randomly select certain samples during their visit for additional testing. The SFDA will then provide us with their preliminary assessment of our new product and our related procedures. Depending on the results of its preliminary assessment the SFDA may recommend that we alter certain aspects of our reports and proposed Clinical Trial programs, or even repeat our Stage 3 and Stage 4 trials and resubmit related reports.

The SFDA review process typically takes 4-6 months, but this process could take longer if we are required to amend or repeat our trials or if we amend our reports in order to obtain more a favorable preliminary assessment.

6 Formal application to the NICPBP for test of virus inactivation and for CDE certification of Clinical Trial (6-7 months) Once we receive a favorable or satisfactory preliminary assessment from the SFDA, the NICPBP will continue the process begun at Stage 4. The NICPBP will conduct tests of virus inactivation based on defined medical literature and on our prescribed procedures and method of production.

If the tests are successful, the NICPBP will transfer the application to the CDE for review of our prescribed procedures and method of production and the CDE may request additional information before making a determination. If the CDE is satisfied with our procedures and method of production it will certify the new product for production for Clinical Trial.

7

SFDA review of Clinical Trial program for approval (1 month)

Following provision of the CDE product certification, we must submit our Clinical Trial program (developed at Stage 5 and 6) to the SFDA for formal approval. The SFDA may request additional information regarding our proposed Clinical Trial program. If the SFDA rejects our Clinical Trial program or requires changes to any of our procedures and methods, we may be required to amend our Clinical Trial program, which may require repeating several of the processes previously conducted. The criteria for SFDA approval for Clinical Trial programs are based on Good Clinical Practice which is publicly available in the PRC.

54


Stage (Estimated Time Period)

Activities
8 Clinical Trial: Phases 1 to 4 (3 years for a new drug and 2 years for a generic drug) Following approval of our Clinical Trial program by the SFDA, we will begin Clinical Trials of the potential new product. There are four phases to the clinical trial process and any failure of the potential new product at any of the Clinical Trial phases, could cause a significant delay in approval of the new product, or termination of the new product launch:

Phase 1: Basic clinical pharmacology and human safety evaluation studies are conducted by the Company. Prior to determining the effectiveness of our potential new product, we must determine that certain pharmacological and safety standards are met by our potential new product. These standards are set in stage 4 or according to medical literature. If the clinical trial indicates that such standards are met, we then move on to Phase 2 of the trials. If the Phase 1 standards are not met, we may be required to conduct further R&D on the potential new product, alter the new product formulation and amend the Clinical Trial program, which could require that we repeat several of the stages referenced above.

Phase 2: A preliminary exploration of the product's therapeutic efficacy is conducted by the Company. If we determine at this stage that the potential new product is not effective, we may conduct further R&D on the potential new product, alter the new product formulation and amend the Clinical Trial program, which would require that we repeat several of the stages referenced above.

Phase 3: If we determine that the potential new product meets the required standards of Phases 1 and 2 above, we must then submit a report of the Clinical Trial results to the SFDA together with an application for trial production of the product. If the SFDA rejects application for trial production or otherwise requires a repeat of our Clinical Trials, we may be required to repeat all or a portion of our Clinical Trial program, which may require repeating several of the processes previously conducted.

Phase 4: If we receive SFDA approval to conduct a trial production of the new product, we will then conduct a larger test of approximately 2,000 samples. We will conduct this test while also conducting a new drug post-marketing study.

9 Application to the SFDA for official production permit and product certification (8-9 months) The trial production of the potential new product will be monitored by an SFDA inspector who will also make onsite visits and assess the results of the trial production. We will also be required to prepare and submit to the SFDA a report of the trial production results by gathering statistical information obtained during the trial period.

The CDE will also conduct a final review of the trial production for the potential new product. Upon satisfactory completion of the trial production, the CDE will inform the SFDA. The SFDA will then issue a permit to us for official production, the issuance of which is announced on the SFDA's website, and copied to the NICPBP and the provincial FDA. The SFDA will also issue the new product a Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, certification. The provincial FDA will follow with the issuance of a provincial production permit for the new product.

Although the SFDA's criteria for final approval of new products are not publicly available in the PRC, if a manufacturer makes the adjustments to its methods and procedures recommended by the SFDA earlier on in the product approval process, it is likely that the SFDA will approve the new product for production.

10 Commercial Production Following issuance of state and provincial production permits and certifications, we may begin production of the new product.

In addition, there are regulations regarding the retail price, rather than regulations of wholesale prices, of our products.  According to the "Regulations on controlling blood products" promulgated by the State Council in 1996, the price (retail) setting standard and regulatory functions reside with regional offices of the State Pricing Bureau and the Ministry of Health.  Presently, there are retail pricing guidelines for hospitals which sell our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products to patients as prescribed by the relevant regulators in each region.  The retail pricing guidelines are established based on, amongst other things, the regional living standards and the cost of production of the manufacturers.

The hospitals cannot sell the products to patients at prices exceeding the highest retail price prescribed by the relevant regulators.  There is no pricing guideline on the ex-factory price to the hospital and the distributors.  The highest retail price guideline is revised occasionally.

Our Employees

The Shandong Institute has provided us with approximately 130 of our employees out of a total of approximately 331 employees, pursuant to a Secondment Agreement, between the Shandong Institute and us.  Pursuant to the Secondment Agreement, we are responsible for the salaries of these employees, as well as for their social benefits such as State insurance.  However, we may release any employee who, among other things a) seriously violates discipline or Company regulations, b) fails to perform or embezzle resulting in major damages to our Company, d) falls ill or sustains injuries unrelated to the job and loses the ability to perform duties assigned by us after medical leave for such illness or injury or e) fails to perform satisfactorily even after retraining and reassignment of duties.  Under the Secondment Agreement, seconded employees have the right to leave our employee if, among other things (a) we use force or otherwise restrict them to keep them working, (b) we do not pay the correct salary for their level, (c) our work environment is deemed to be hazardous to their health.  Our Secondment Agreement with the Shandong Institute will expire on October 2032, or will be terminated upon the privatization of the Shandong Institute, which expected to occur before the end of 2008.  Upon expiration or termination of the Secondment Agreement, we plan to hire the seconded employees directly.  We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.

As required by applicable Chinese law, we have entered into employment contracts with most of our officers, managers and employees.  We are working towards entering into employment contracts with those employees who do not currently have employment contracts with us.  

Our employees in China participate in a state pension scheme organized by Chinese municipal and provincial governments.  We are required to contribute to the scheme at the rates ranging of the average monthly salary of 20%.  The compensation expenses related to this scheme was about RMB1, 265,000 (approximately, $160,000) and RMB774, 000 (approximately, $97,000) for the fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Other major contributions include medical insurance (7%), unemployment insurance (2%) and housing provision fund (8%) for employees seconded from the Shandong Institute.  In addition, we are required by Chinese law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. We have purchased social insurances for all of our employees.  

 

Our Chinese subsidiaries have labor unions which protect employees' rights, aim to assist in the fulfillment of our economic objectives, encourage employee participation in management decisions and assist in mediating disputes between us and union members.  We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.

Our Facilities

All land in China is owned by the State.  Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire land use rights for specific purposes.  Industrial land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years.  This period may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms.  Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations.

55


In July 2003, Shandong Taibang obtained certain land use rights from the PRC municipal government to 43,663 square meters consisting of manufacturing facilities, warehouses and office buildings in Taian City, Shandong Province.  Shandong Taibang is required to make payments totaling RMB138, 848 per year to the local state-owned entity, for the 50 year life of the rights or until the Shandong Institute completes its privatization process.  We recorded "land use rights" equal to "other payable – land use rights" totaling $0.8 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 determined using present value of annual payments over 50 years.

We believe that all of our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

Some of our properties are leased from third parties.  We have entered into formal lease agreements with two of them.  The remaining leases are on a verbal basis.  In all cases, the lessors have not been able to provide copies of documentation evidencing their rights to use the leased property.  In most cases, the leased properties are small operating spaces we leased for our sales offices in different parts of China.  In the event of any future dispute over the ownership of the leased properties, we believe we could easily and quickly find replacement premises so that the operations would not be affected.

Legal Proceedings

We may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. This may adversely affect or harm our business.  We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

In July 2006, one of our sales employees misappropriated our goods and resold them to other parties using a counterfeited Company seal.  The amount involved was approximately RMB1.16 million (approximately $0.15 million). The incident was revealed during a routine reconciliation of our account receivables.  We reported the misappropriation to the police and the employee was arrested and criminal charges were brought against him.  To date, we have recovered RMB350,000 in cash and goods of valued at approximately RMB30,000 (altogether, approximately $0.05 million). The balance will be recouped on or before the end of 2007, pursuant to a financial guarantee and repayment agreement between us and the employee witnessed by officials at the Taian City Police Station.

 

Mr. Zu Ying Du was one of the original equity holders in our operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang.  Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, among the original equity holders, Mr. Du was obligated to make a capital contribution of RMB20 million (or approximately $2.6 million) for a 25% interest in Shandong Taibang.   Mr. Du made this contribution using funds borrowed from the Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Company, or Beijing Chen Da.  Mr. Du failed to repay Beijing Chen Da for his loan of the capital contribution amount.  A Beijing Court found that Beijing Chen Da had given money to Mr. Du but found that the loan agreement failed to comply with Chinese law.   Subsequently, Beijing Chen Da entered into an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Du, pursuant to which Mr. Du's 25% equity interest in Shandong Taibang  was transferred to Beijing Chen Da as repayment of the RMB20 million debt.  In June 10, 2005, Beijing Chen Da sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing Investments Limited, or Up-Wing, pursuant to a share transfer agreement, which became effective on September 2, 2005, upon approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC.  In March 2006, Up-Wing sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Logic Express, our subsidiary.  Mr. Du challenges the validity of the equity transfer agreement with Beijing Chen Da and the subsequent share transfer to Up-Wing and sued his brother in Hubei province relating to this equity transfer agreement.  We do not have access to the court documents relating to this case.

 

In addition, Missile Engineering, another original equity holder wholly controlled by Mr. Du, was obligated to contribute RMB32.8 million (or $4.2 million) for a 41% interest in Shandong Taibang by means of cash, equipments and technical know-how. It was obligated to obtain a certificate and license of its technical know-how from the State within a stipulated period in order to be recognized as a valid capital contribution. Otherwise, a cash payment was required. The technical know-how was valued as RMB26.4 million (or approximately $3.4 million).  However, Missile Engineering failed to obtain the certificate and license within the stipulated period. Pursuant to a stockholders resolution on September 26, 2004, Missile Engineering agreed to sell its 41% interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing and Up-Wing agreed to take up the obligation of Missile Engineering to pay the RMB26.4 million in cash. In 2006, Missile Engineering applied for arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer to Up-Wing Investments Limited, of the equity interests in Shandong Taibang formerly owned by Missile Engineering.  The equity transfer had been approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC.  Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew this application and instead applied to the Shandong COFTEC for administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer, but this application was rejected.  Thereafter, Missile Engineering commenced an administrative proceeding against the Shandong COFTEC alleging that it wrongfully approved the equity transfer.  However, according to Shandong COFTEC, the application to this administrative proceeding was voluntarily withdrawn by Missile Engineering during September 2007. We were also informed that Missile Engineering is in the process of applying to COFTEC for another administrative reconsideration of equity transfer.  We believe that all necessary approvals and documentation were obtained at the time of transfer and we have initiated legal action in China intending to restrain Missile Engineering from seeking to resolve the equity transfer issue, by means other than by arbitration, the agreed-upon method of conflict resolution at the time of the transfer.

In December 2006, we brought separate legal action in Tai Shan District Court in Shandong Province against Mr. Du for defamation in connection with his tortious comments regarding Shandong Taibang.  We sought to enjoin Mr. Du from such conduct as well as damages of approximately $3,000.  The outcome of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

On February 5, 2007, our subsidiary Shandong Taibang received a summons from the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, regarding an ongoing dispute with Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co Ltd., or Hua Lan, the plaintiff, pursuant to which Hua Lan alleges that Feng Lin, the principal of the Bobai Kangan Plasma Collection Co. Ltd., or Bobai, and Keliang Huang, his partner, established the Bobai Plasma Collection Station in Bobai County, Guangxi, using a permit for collecting and supplying human plasma in Bobai County, that was originally granted to Hua Lan by the government of the Guangxi region, without Hua Lan's permission. On January 18, 2007, we had signed a letter of intent to acquire the assets of the Bobai Plasma Collection Station from Bobai. However, on January 29, 2007, on Hua Lan's motion, the District Court entered an order to freeze funds in the amount of RMB 3,000,000 (approximately $386,100) held by the defendants in the case, including RMB 500,000 (approximately $65,750) in funds held in Shandong Taibang's bank account in Taian City, and Shandong Taibang was joined as a third party defendant. A hearing was held on June 25, 2007 and judgment was entered against the defendants. There was a RMB 1,700,000 ($226,780) financial judgment against three defendants jointly. The RMB 500,000 (approximately $65,750) was released and the company appealed the judgment to the high court. Shandong Taibang recorded a contingency liability of $75,593 for its share of the judgment. In November 2007, the high court affirmed the judgment against the three defendants and increased the amount of the award to RMB 3,000,000 (approximately $405,954). Shandong Taibang has filed a suit in Shandong province challenging this ruling, but we cannot be certain that the court will accept the application, or if it is accepted, whether Hua Lan could successfully challenge the venue. As a result, we have increased Shandong Taibang's loss contingency reserve during the fourth quarter of 2007, from RMB 566,667 ($75,593), to RMB 1,000,000 ($133,400), in order to cover its share of the enforcement of this judgment. If we are unsuccessful in our appeal of the ruling, Shandong Taibang will not be able to cover the RMB 1 million ($133,400) loss. In addition, it is unlikely that the planned acquisition of the assets of Bobai Plasma Collection Station would go forward. Shandong Taibang intends to file a separate action against Hua Lan in Taian City to seek to recover any such losses and will request that the court preserve Hua Lan's property or freeze up to RMB 3 million of Hua Lan's assets to secure the return of such funds.

To our knowledge, no director, officer or affiliate of ours, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our securities, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is our adverse party or has an material interest in our operation in reference to pending litigation.

Board Composition and Committees

 

Our Board is currently composed of four members, none of whom are "independent" directors, as that term is defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.  All actions of the board of directors require the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  Our directors have a duty of to act in good faith with a view to our interests.  In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our Certificate of Incorporation.  Board action requires the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  During 2006, our board met two times and except for Ms. Lin Ling Li, who missed one meeting, no director missed more than 25% of the meetings of the board or any committee on which he or she sat.

We currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees.  Currently, our entire board of directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.  We intend, however, to establish an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable.  We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls.  The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors.  The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures.  The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefit policies (including stock options), including compensation of executive officers.

Our board of directors has not made a determination as to whether any member of our board is an audit committee financial expert.  Upon the establishment of an audit committee, the board will determine whether any of the directors qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under "Executive Compensation").  We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm's-length transactions.


 

On July 19, 2006, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a share exchange agreement with the owners of all issued and outstanding capital stock of Logic Express, our directors, Ms. Siu Ling Chan and Ms. Lin Ling Li. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Logic Express in exchange for 18,484,715 shares of our common stock. As a result of this transaction, Ms. Chan and Ms. Li became the beneficial owner of approximately 64% of our outstanding capital stock.

 

On July 19, 2006, our directors and majority stockholders, Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li also entered into a make good escrow agreement with the private placement investors, pursuant to which, Ms. Chan and Ms. Li agreed to deposit in an escrow account a total of 4,280,000 shares of our common stock owned by them, to be held for the benefit of the investors. Ms. Chan and Ms. Li agreed that if we do not reach a threshold of at least $4,819,500 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $5,823,465 of after-tax net income before minority interest, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, and at least $8,302,000 of after-tax net income, or, in the alternative, at least $10,031,416 of after-tax net income before minority interest for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the escrow agent may deliver their escrowed shares to the investors, based upon a pre-defined formula agreed to between the investors and Ms. Chan and Ms. Li. However, if the after tax net income threshold is met, the shares in escrow will be returned to Ms. Chan and Ms. Li. Pursuant to the escrow agreement, (i) the release of the make good shares to the shareholders as a result of operation of the make good agreement, (ii) the payment of liquidated damages accrued according to the registration rights agreement; and (iii) the gain or loss on change in fair value of warrants, are not deemed to be an income or expense item in calculating the after-tax net income for the purpose of the escrow agreement. We have met the after-tax net income before minority interest performance threshold for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

As we increase the size of our board of directors and gain independent directors, we expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of "related-persons transactions."  For purposes of our policy only, a "related-person transaction" will be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any "related person" are participants involving an amount that exceeds $50,000.  Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this policy.  A related person will be any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of our common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

 

63

 


 

We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors) for consideration and approval or ratification.  Management's presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.

 

To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders.  In considering related-person transactions, our board of directors will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

 

the risks, costs and benefits to us;

the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

the terms of the transaction;

the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally.

 

We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.

 

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

 

We did not have any promoters at any time during the past five fiscal years.  

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS

Prior to the effective date of this prospectus, we were not an SEC reporting Company and did not report our financial statements.  However, in connection with our reverse merger transaction, our board of directors recommended and approved the appointment of Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbet, LLP, or Moore Stephens, as our independent auditor for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and during the subsequent interim period through the date of this report.


 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and through the date hereof, neither us nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted Moore Stephens with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us or oral advice was provided that Moore Stephens concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-B.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders named below from time to time of up to a total of  6,065,000 shares of our common stock that were issued to selling stockholders pursuant to transactions described below which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.  All of the common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by the selling stockholders for their own accounts.

Our Acquisition of Logic Express

 

On July 19, 2006, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Logic Express, whereby we issued to the stockholders of Logic Express, 18,484,715 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Logic Express and its majority-owned Chinese operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang.  As a result of the reverse acquisition transaction with Logic Express, Logic Express became our 100% owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Logic Express became our controlling shareholders with 96.1% of our common stock.  Shandong Taibang became our 82.76%-owned indirect subsidiary and is the operating company for all of our commercial operations.  

 

64


 

As a part of the reverse acquisition transaction, we agreed to register 500,000 shares of our common stock held in the name of PDS-HFI Partners, a company beneficially owned by Timothy P. Halter, our former director.  The issuance of common stock was exempt from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  PDS-HFI Partners, subsequently transferred these shares in a private transaction to The Pinnacle Fund LP, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated August 20, 2007.

 

Private Placement Transaction

 

On July 19, 2006, we completed a private placement transaction with a group of accredited investors.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement as amended, we sold five-year warrants to purchase 1,070,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.8425 per share and 2,200,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $1.895 per unit, or approximately $4.2 million in gross proceeds.  In addition, two of our controlling shareholders, Siu Ling Chan and Lin Ling Li, sold an aggregate of 2,080,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.895 per share, or approximately $3.9 million to the same investors.  

 

Lane Capital Markets, LLC acted as exclusive placement agent and financial advisor in connection with the transaction.  As compensation for its services, the Placement Agent received a cash fee equal to $1,046,500, representing 10% of the combined gross proceeds received from the sale of the shares, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offering amounting to 3% of the proceeds.  In addition, Lane and its potential designee(s) received five-year warrants to purchase 214,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.8425 per share.

 

In connection with the private placement transaction, on July 18, 2006, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which we agreed to file within 45 days of the closing date, a registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to the investors in the private placement.  We failed to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement, which resulted in liquidated damages in the amount of $811,060 which we recognized in general and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2006.  The shares being registered under this registration statement are the shares of our common stock issued and the shares of common stock underlying warrants issued in connection with the private placement.

 

The foregoing securities were issued to these investors pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  We relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.  These stockholders who received the securities in such instances made representations that (a) the stockholder is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) the stockholder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (c) the stockholder has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (d) the stockholder had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (e) the stockholder has no need for liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment.  Our Management made the determination that the investors were accredited investors as defined in Regulation D, based upon our Management's inquiry into their sophistication and net worth.  In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.

 

Selling Stockholders

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders and the shares offered by them in this prospectus.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC.  In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage of ownership of that selling stockholder, shares of common stock underlying shares of convertible preferred stock, options or warrants held by that selling stockholder that are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, within 60 days of the filing of this Registration Statement are included.  Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder.  

 

65

 


 

Except as specifically set forth in the footnotes to the table, none of the selling stockholders has held a position as an officer or director of our Company, nor has any selling stockholder had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates.  All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.  The shares being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading of the shares and each selling stockholder may offer all or part of the shares owned for resale from time to time.  In addition, none of the selling stockholders has any family relationships with our officers, directors or controlling stockholders.  Furthermore, except as specifically set forth in the footnote to the table below, no selling stockholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common or Preferred Stock

 

Our current authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which 21,434,942 shares were issued and outstanding as of January 22, 2008, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred  stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which no shares are issued or outstanding.

 

Each common share entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. When a dividend is declared by the Board, all stockholders are entitled to receive a fixed dividend. All shares issued in the company are of the same class, and have equal liquidation, preference, and adjustment rights.

Warrants

On July 19, 2006, we issued to the Investors in the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,070,000 shares of our Common Stock which are exercisable by the holder at $2.8425 per share for a period of five years following the closing of the private placement.  In the event the market price of our Common Stock exceeds 160% of the exercise price of the warrants at any time after 45 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, then we may require the holder of such warrants to exercise any unexercised warrants so long as this registration statement remains effective and certain other conditions are met.  Under no circumstances may the warrants be exercised – including pursuant to these forced exercise provisions -- if it would result in the holder beneficially owning more than (i) 4.9999% of our outstanding Common Stock (which provision may be waived by the holder thereof with upon notice to us 61 days prior to such exercise); or (ii) 9.9999% of our outstanding Common Stock (which provision may not be waived by any party).  In the event we issue shares of our Common Stock or any type of securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock at a price below $2.8425, the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted downwards on a "weighted average" basis.  

68


In connection with the private placement, we also issued to Lane Capital Markets, LLC warrants to purchase 214,000 shares of our common stock on substantially identical terms as the warrants issued to the investors in the private placement (although the warrants issued to Lane Capital Markets LLC did not contain any forced exercise provisions).

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

Our independent stock transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation.  Their mailing address is 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite #102, Frisco, Texas, 75034, and their telephone number is (469) 633-0101.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

As of January 22, 2008, we had outstanding 21,434,942 shares of common stock.

 

Shares Covered by this Prospectus

6,065,000 of the shares being registered in this offering may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act, so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is, and remains, effective.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year, including any person who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" (as the term "affiliate" is defined under the Securities Act), would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which as of January 22, 2008 would equal 214,349 shares; or

the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

However, since our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter market maintained by Pink Sheets, LLC, which is not an "automated quotation system," our stockholders cannot rely on the market-based volume limitation described in the second bullet above. If, in the future, our securities are listed on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, then our stockholders would be able to rely on the market-based volume limitation. Unless and until our stock is so listed or quoted, our stockholders can only rely on the percentage based volume limitation described in the first bullet above.

Sales under Rule 144 are also governed by other requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice filing and the availability of current public information about us. Under Rule 144, however, a person who is not, and for the three months prior to the sale of such shares has not been, an affiliate of the issuer is free to sell shares that are "restricted securities" which have been held for at least two years without regard to the limitations contained in Rule 144. The selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

A total of 250,227 of our outstanding shares may currently be sold in reliance on Rule 144.

Rule 144(k)

Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

We believe that none of our outstanding shares may currently be sold in reliance on Rule 144(k).

69


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales will be at fixed price of $3.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter sales may be at negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission and after our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board;  

when our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, and (v) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.


 

70


None of the selling stockholders are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  However, any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein are underwriters.  Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  We know of no existing arrangements between any of the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares, nor can we presently estimate the amount, if any, of such compensation.  Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder's business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.  See "Selling Stockholders" for description of any material relationship that a stockholder has with us and the description of such relationship.

The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission.  If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

The validity of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon for us by Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner LLP, Washington, D.C.


 

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 have been included in this prospectus in reliance upon the report of Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer & Torbet, LLP, independent auditors, appearing in this registration statement, and their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in China Biologic or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with China Biologic or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers, past, present and future, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees, judgments, fines and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. We will also bear expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees or agents upon such persons promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

71


At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We are a public company and file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC.  You may read and copy any document we file at the SEC's public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You can request copies of these documents by writing to the SEC and paying a fee for the copying cost.  Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for more information about the operation of the public reference room.  Our SEC filings are also available, at no charge, to the public at the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov.

CHINA BIOLOGIC PRODUCTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization background and principal activities

Principal Activities and Reorganization

China Biologic Products, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the research, development, commercialization, manufacture and sale of human blood products to customers in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The Company was originally incorporated on December 20, 1989 under the laws of the State of Texas, as Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. On November 20, 2000, Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. changed its corporate name to Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. Acquisition Corp. ("Shepherd"). Shepherd is the survivor of a May 28, 2003, merger between Shepherd and GRC Holdings, Inc. ("GRC"). In the merger, the Company adopted the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of GRC and changed its corporate name to GRC Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to a Board resolution, dated October 27, 2006, GRC, a Texas Corporation, converted to a Delaware Corporation and changed its name to China Biologic Products, Inc. This Plan of Conversion became effective on January 10, 2007.

Reverse acquisition

On July 18, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Logic Express Ltd ("Logic Express") and its stockholders. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on July 19, 2006, Logic Express became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former stockholders of Logic Express owned approximately 96.1% of the Company immediately prior to the private placement described below (the "Reverse Take-Over"). Consequently, the share exchange between the stockholders of Logic Express and the Company has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Logic Express with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Logic Express. The operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Private placement

Concurrent with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement with Logic Express, the Company completed a private placement of shares of common stock to a group of investors resulting in the issuance by the Company of 2,200,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 1,070,000 shares of common stock at $1.895 per share. Further, in connection with the private placement, two of the Company's controlling stockholders sold 2,080,000 shares of common stock at $1.895 per share to the same group of investors. A portion of the proceeds of the new issuance was used to pay for the outstanding capital contribution of RMB26,400,000 of Shandong Taibang.

In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with the investors, agreed to file within 45 days of the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement a registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to the investors in the private placement. The Company failed to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement and recognized in general and administrative expenses an amount of $811,060 (RMB6,353,114) at December 31, 2006 for the full amount of liquidated damages.

In conjunction with this private placement, Ms. Li Lin Ling and Ms. Chan Siu Ling, the controlling stockholders and directors of the Company, placed an aggregate 4,280,000 shares of common stock in escrow, pursuant to a share escrow agreement dated July 19, 2006, which was amended on February 16, 2007, March 27, 2007 and April 2, 2007 (the "Escrow Agreement"), pursuant to which one half of the escrowed shares are to be released to the investors in the private placement on a pro rata basis, if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), do not reflect an after-tax net income of at least $4,819,000, or an after-tax net income before minority interest of $5,823,000, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006; and if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, prepared in accordance with US GAAP, do not reflect an after-tax net income of at least $8,302,000 or an after-tax net income before minority interests of $10,031,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the second half of the escrow shares will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the investors. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (i) liquidated damages accrued according to the registration rights agreement; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of warrants; and (iii) stock-based compensation charge arising from transferring of shares from stockholders to senior management, are not deemed to be an income or expense item in calculating the after-tax net income for the purpose of the Escrow Agreement. If such performance thresholds are met, the shares are to be returned to Ms. Li Lin Ling and Ms. Chan Siu Ling. Management determined that the threshold for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been met.

Reorganization under common control

Logic Express was incorporated on January 6, 2006 in the British Virgin Islands. Logic Express was established on April 17, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring a majority equity interest in Shandong Missile Biological Products Co., Ltd. (Whose name changed to Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co Ltd on February 27, 2007, and is hereafter called "Shandong Taibang") from Up-Wing Investment Limited ("Up-Wing"), an entity with identical stockholders in preparation of its reverse merger with GRC and anticipated offering of securities. Logic Express and Up-Wing had identical stockholders at the date of transfer. The transfer of equity interests in Shandong Taibang from Up-Wing to Logic Express (the "Transfer") was accounted for as a reorganization under common control.

Up-Wing Investment Limited was incorporated on November 30, 1993 in Hong Kong. Up-Wing acquired an 82.76% equity interest in Shandong Taibang, the operating company of the Company in two equity transactions as described below. Shandong Taibang was established in the PRC on October 23, 2002 with a registered capital of approximately $9.7 million (or RMB80 million).

Acquisition of 41% interest in Shandong Taibang

In accordance with the equity transfer agreement dated September 26, 2004 Up-Wing agreed to acquire 41% of the registered capital (including the unpaid capital contribution) of Shandong Taibang from the Shandong Missile Biological Engineering Co Ltd, an unrelated party (i) for a cash consideration of RMB8,000,000 and (ii) agreed to fund the minority shareholder's unpaid capital amount of RMB26,400,000 to Shandong Taibang. Up-Wing paid the RMB8,000,000 on March 17, 2005 (the "March 2005 Acquisition") and the unpaid capital contribution amount of RMB26,400,000 on July 19, 2006. After completing the March 2005 Acquisition, Up-Wing held 11.94% of the paid-in capital and 41% of the voting rights of Shandong Taibang.

Acquisition of additional 41.76% interest in Shandong Taibang

On June 10, 2005, Up-Wing entered into a share transfer agreement with another unrelated party, Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Co. Ltd, to acquire an additional 41.76% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang, for a consideration of RMB35,500,000. The acquisition became effective on September 2, 2005 upon the approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (the "September 2005 Acquisition"). On April 17, 2006, Logic Express acquired the entire interest of Up-Wing in Shandong Taibang at historical cost due to common control. As a result, Logic Express owned an 82.76% interest in Shandong Taibang.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of the additional equity interest in Shandong Taibang under the purchase method. The fair value of underlying net assets representing Up-Wing's additional 82.76% of paid-in capital acquired in Shandong Taibang exceeded Up-Wing's purchase price, giving rise to negative goodwill. Such negative goodwill was allocated to reduce the purchase price allocated to certain long-lived assets. As a result of this acquisition, the Company held 82.76% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang and Shandong Taibang became a subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of Shandong Taibang are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company from January 1, 2005.

On July 20, 2006, the Company fulfilled its commitment to fund a portion of the shortfall in registered capital of Shandong Taibang by injecting additional capital of RMB26,400,000 (approximately $3,383,000) into Shandong Taibang in the form of cash.

The purchase price for the September 2005 Acquisition and July 2006 Acquisition was the result of negotiations with the then stockholders, who were disadvantaged by the following conditions:

(1)

Because the share capital was not yet fully paid-up at that moment, Shandong Taibang had insufficient working capital and liquidity to support its long term obligations; and

   
(2)

According to the Articles of Association, the RMB26,400,000 unpaid capital was to be contributed within six months from the formation of the joint venture by April 23, 2003. However, the then stockholders failed to fulfill their obligation. Pursuant to the PRC rules and regulations applicable to foreign invested enterprises, if the then stockholders fail to contribute the RMB26,400,000 by the specific date, their entire interest would be forfeited. Details of the fair value of the net assets of Shandong Taibang consolidated on September 2, 2005 are as follows:

Acquisition of assets from plasma stations in Shandong Province

In the second half of 2006, Shandong Taibang, through its wholly owned plasma companies, entered into an asset transfer agreement with the Shandong Provincial government to acquire certain assets of five plasma stations in Shandong Province. The total consideration of $2,472,846 for the acquisition paid in 2006 was determined based on independent valuations performed by qualified valuation experts registered in the PRC. Since the Company acquired certain assets from the plasma stations, these acquisitions are not considered business combinations pursuant to SFAS No. 141 under Regulation S-B Item 310(d).

The operating licenses of the plasma companies started on January 1, 2007. The net assets of the plasma companies are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. All sales from the plasma companies are inter-company sales and are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statement.

Acquisition of assets from plasma stations in Guangxi Province

In January 2007, Shandong Taibang, through its wholly and 80% owned plasma companies, entered into letters of intent to acquire certain assets of two plasma stations in Guangxi Province. The total consideration of $741,104 for the acquisition was determined based on independent valuation performed by qualified valuation experts recognized in the PRC. The net assets of the plasma companies are included in the Company's consolidated financial statement. Limited operation has occurred as of September 30, 2007. As the Company is acquiring certain assets from the plasma stations, these acquisitions are not considered business combinations pursuant to SFAS No. 141 under Regulation S-B Item 310(d).

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company's principal operating subsidiaries established in the PRC use their local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $1,917,614 and $1,118,385, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The consolidated balance sheet amounts, with the exception of equity at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were translated at 7.50 RMB to $1.00 and 7.80 RMB to $1.00 respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were 7.65 RMB, and 8.00 RMB, respectively. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the period; therefore, amounts reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable, which are generally considered to be met upon delivery and acceptance of products at the customer site. Normally, we do not accept any product returns and according to our records, the returns are immaterial. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company's products sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government.

Shipping and handling

Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative costs and totaled $78,425 and $18,225, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, management estimates potential losses on outstanding receivables. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. SFAS 107 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

Concentration of risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC and Hong Kong. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. Total cash in state-owned banks at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 amounted to $6,123,713 and $4,268,220, respectively, of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Accounts receivable

The Company's business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.

The Company reviews its inventory periodically for possible obsolete goods or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has determined that no reserves are necessary.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $611,020 and $313,436, respectively.

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or new additions to the Company's plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144. When estimated cash flows generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2007, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

Plant and equipment consist of the following at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost (estimated fair value upon contribution or acquisition), less accumulated amortization and impairment. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

CHINA BIOLOGIC PRODUCTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

   
Intangible assets Estimated useful lives
Land use rights 50 years
Permits and licenses 5-10 years
Blood donor network 10 years

Given the environment in which the Company currently operates, it is reasonably possible that the estimated economic useful lives of these assets or, the Company's estimate, that it will recover their carrying amounts from future operations could change in the future.

All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants the user a "land use right" to use the land. The Company has the right to use various parcels of land that range from 50 years in length. The Company amortizes the cost of the land use rights over their useful life using the straight-line method.

Other intangible assets represent permits, licenses and Good Manufacturing Practice Certificates contributed in return for equity upon the establishment of Shandong Taibang in 2002. Contributed rights include those necessary to manufacture and distribute human blood products in the PRC market as authorized by the relevant PRC authorities. The estimated useful life of the contributed rights is 5-10 years.

Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of September 30, 2007, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.

Total amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $64,168 and $34,890, respectively.

Retirement and other post retirement benefits

Contributions to retirement schemes (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to the statement of operations and when the related employee service is provided.

Product liabilities

The Company's products are covered by RMB20,000,000 (or approximately $2,700,000) product liability insurance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no claim on our insurance policy.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since the Company had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In July, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretations No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 became effective at the beginning of 2007 and had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

F-16


CHINA BIOLOGIC PRODUCTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2006, FASB issued FSB EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognised and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The FSB EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for new and modified registration payment arrangements entered into after December 21, 2006, and beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for any such instruments entered into before that date. As the Company failed to file the registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement, the full amount of liquidated damages of $811,060 was recognized in general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2006.

In June 2007, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities" ("FSP EITF 07-3"), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. FSP EITF 07-3 will be effective for an entity's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

Note 3 - Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information

Income taxes paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $1,086,987 and $803,362 respectively.

Interest paid (net of capitalized interest) for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $128,879 and $164,278, respectively.

In accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share", basic net income per share available is computed by dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding, as if the shares issued in the reverse merger as described in Note 1, had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and such shares had been outstanding for all periods. There are no potentially dilutive shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Note 7 – Income taxes

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

In 2002, the Company became a Sino-foreign joint venture. In 2003, the Company was granted by the state government for benefit of income tax exemption in first 2 years from January 2003 to December 2004 and 50% exemption for the third to fifth years from January 2005 to December 2007.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises ("DES") and Foreign Invested Enterprises ("FIEs").

The key changes are:

 

 

a.

The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pays a reduced rate of 15%; and

 

 

b.

Companies established before March 16, 2007 will continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace period of the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner.

The Company's subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, was established before March 16, 2007 and therefore is qualified to continue enjoying the reduced tax rate as described above. Since the detailed guidelines of the new tax law is not publicized yet, the Company cannot determined what the new tax rate will be applicable to the Company after the end of their respective tax holiday terms.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

The estimated tax savings due to the reduced tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $2,219,530 and $1,135,220, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease the basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, from $0.35 to $0.25 and from $0.17 to $0.10, respectively.

Value Added Tax

Enterprises or individuals who sell products, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with Chinese laws. The value added tax rate applicable to the Company is 6% of the gross sales price. No credit is available for VAT paid on the purchases.

VAT on sales amounted to $1,626,299 and $896,865 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Sales are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government. VAT taxes are not impacted by the income tax holiday.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to claims related to the manufacture and use of the Company's products, but currently the Company is not aware of any such claim.

Legal proceedings

In July 2006, one of our sales employees misappropriated our goods and resold them to other parties using a counterfeit Company seal. The amount involved was approximately RMB1.16 million (approximately $0.15 million). The incident was revealed during a routine reconciliation of our account receivables. We reported the misappropriation to the police and the employee was arrested and criminal charges were brought against him. To date, we have recovered RMB350,000 in cash and goods valued at approximately RMB30,000 (altogether, approximately $50,692). The balance will be recouped on or before the end of 2007, pursuant to a financial guarantee and repayment agreement between us and the employee witnessed by officials at the Taian City Police Station.

In 2006, Missile Engineering, which is controlled by Mr. Zu Ying Du, applied for arbitration in China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission ("CIETAC") to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer of the shares he formerly owned in Shandong Taibang. The equity transfer was approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (the "Shandong COFTEC"). Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew this application and instead applied to the Shandong COFTEC for administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer, but this application was rejected. Thereafter, Missile Engineering commenced an administrative proceeding against the Shandong COFTEC alleging that it wrongfully approved the equity transfer. According to Shandong COFTEC, the application to this administrative proceeding was withdrawn voluntarily by Missile Engineering again during September 2007. We were also informed that Missile Engineering is in the process of applying to COFTEC for another administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer. We believe that all necessary approvals and documentation were obtained at the time of transfer and we have initiated legal action in China intending to restrain Missile Engineering from seeking to resolve the equity transfer issue, by means other than by arbitration, the agreed-upon method of conflict resolution at the time of the transfer.

In December 2006, Up-Wing brought separate legal action in Tai Shan District Court in Shandong Province against Mr. Du for defamation in connection with his tortious comments regarding Shandong Taibang. We sought to enjoin Mr. Du from such conduct as well as damages of approximately $3,000. The outcome of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On February 5, 2007, our subsidiary Shandong Taibang received a summons from the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, regarding an ongoing dispute with Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co Ltd., or Hua Lan, the plaintiff, pursuant to which Hua Lan alleges that Feng Lin, the principal of the Bobai Kangan Plasma Collection Co. Ltd., or Bobai, and Keliang Huang established the Bobai Plasma Collection Station in Bobai County, Guangxi, using a permit for collecting and supplying human plasma in Bobai County, that was granted to Hua Lan by the government of the Guangxi region, without Hua Lan's permission. On January 18, 2007, we had signed a letter of intent to acquire certain assets of Bobai Plasma Collection Station. However, on January 29, 2007, on Hua Lan's motion, the District Court entered an order to freeze funds in the amount of RMB3,000,000 ($386,100) held by the defendants in the case, including RMB500,000 ($65,750) in funds held in Shandong Taibang's bank account in Taian City, and Shandong Taibang was joined as a third party defendant. The first hearing in the foregoing matter was scheduled to be held before the District Court in March 2007 but was suspended to allow the defendants to enter a plea to the Henan Provincial Court requesting clarification regarding whether the District Court has proper jurisdiction when the act of infringement and all defendants are not in Henan Province. A hearing was held on June 25, 2007 and judgment was entered against the defendants. There was a RMB 1,700,000 ($226,780) financial judgment against three defendants jointly. Though the RMB500,000 ($65,750) has been released and the company appealed the judgment to the high court, the company recorded a contingency liability of $75,593 for its share of the judgment. Other than the place of jurisdiction, we cannot make any comment on the validity of the franchise agreement between Bobai and Hua Lan. If Hua Lan prevails in this case then we may not be able to acquire the assets from Bobai. However, management does not expect our inability to acquire the assets from Bobai to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations as Bobai is only a small station.

Note 10 – Stockholders' equity

GRC implemented at 1 for 20 reverse split to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock to 750,227 immediately before issuing 18,484,715 shares of common stock to the stockholders of Logic Express. The reverse stock split did not change the par value ($0.0001) of the common stock.

On July 19, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors and completed the sale of 2,200,000 of the Company's common stock and 1,070,000 common stock purchase warrants.

In connection with the offering, the Company paid a placement fee of 10% of the proceeds in cash, together with other expenses in the amount of 3% of the proceeds, in cash. In addition, the placement agent was issued warrants to purchase 66,154 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions as the investors.

Warrant

Concurrent with the private placement, GRC issued 1,070,000 units of warrant with exercise price at $2.8425 per share, to investors. The warrants issued to the new investors have a 5-year term and are callable by the Company if the shares trade at 160% of the exercise price for 15 consecutive trading days after the registration statement has been effective for 45 days.

On July 28, 2006, GRC also issued 214,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.8425 to Lane Capital Markets, LLC, the exclusive placement agent and financial advisor, as partial consideration for its services as placement agent in connection with the private placement. These warrants have a 5-year term and are non-callable.

The warrants are accounted for as equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19

Note 11 – Statutory reserves

In accordance with the "Law of the PRC on Joint Ventures Using Chinese and Foreign Investment" and the Company's Articles of Association, appropriations from net profit should be made to the Reserve Fund and the Enterprise Expansion Fund, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, and before profit distributions to the investors. The percentages to be appropriated to the Reserve Fund and the Enterprise Expansion Fund are determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Reserve fund

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company transferred $1,051,180 and $537,806 respectively. These amounts represent 10% of the net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years' losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing stockholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

Enterprise expansion fund

The enterprise fund may be used to acquire fixed assets or to increase the working capital to expend on production and operation of the business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company transferred $1,051,180 and $573,807, respectively. These amounts represent 10% of the net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations.

Note 12 – Retirement benefit plans

Regulations in PRC require the Company to contribute to a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of all permanent employees. All permanent employees are entitled to an annual pension equal to their basic salaries at retirement. The PRC government is responsible for the benefit liability to these retired employees. The Company is required to make contributions to the state retirement plan at 20% of the monthly basic salaries of the current employees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company made pension contributions in the amount of $159,321 and $75,911, respectively.

Note 13 – Subsequent event

In related to the Hua Lan case as discussed in Note 9, in November 2007, the high court affirmed the judgment against the three defendants and increased the amount of the award to RMB 3,000,000 (approximately $405,954). Shandong Taibang has filed a suit in Shandong province challenging this ruling, but there is no certainty that the court will accept the application, or if it is accepted, whether Hua Lan could successfully challenge the venue. As a result, Shandong Taibang has increased its loss contingency reserve during its fourth quarter of 2007 from RMB 566,667 ($75,593) to RMB 1,000,000 ($134,400) to cover its share of the enforcement of this judgment. If the Company is unsuccessful in its appeal of the ruling, Shandong Taibang cannot recover the loss of RMB 1 million ($133,400) because in such eventuality, it is unlikely that the planned acquisition of the assets of Bobai Plasma Collection Station would go forward. In addition, Shandong Taibang intends to file a separate action against Hua Lan in Taian City to seek to recover any such losses and will request that the court preserve Hua Lan's property or freeze up to RMB 3 million of Hua Lan's assets to secure the return of such funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
China Biologic Products, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Biologic Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006. 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 China Biologic Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 – Organization background and principal activities Principal Activities and Reorganization

Principal Activities and Reorganization

GRC Holdings, Inc. ("GRC") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are principally engaged in research, development, commercialization, manufacture and sale of human blood products to customers in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").  GRC was originally incorporated on December 20, 1989 under the laws of the State of Texas, as Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc.  On November 20, 2000, Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. changed its corporate name to Shepherd Food Equipment, Inc. Acquisition Corp., or Shepherd.  Shepherd is the survivor of a May 28, 2003, merger between Shepherd and GRC Holdings, Inc.  In the merger, the company adopted the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of GRC and changed its corporate name to GRC Holdings, Inc.  Pursuant to a Board resolution, dated October 27, 2006, GRC, a Texas Corporation, converted to a Delaware Corporation and changed its name to China Biologic Products, Inc. (the "Company"). This Plan of Conversion became effective on January 10, 2007.

On July 18, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Logic Express Ltd ("Logic Express") and its stockholders. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on July 19, 2006, Logic Express became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former stockholders of Logic Express owned approximately 96.1% of the Company immediately prior to the private placement described below (the "Reverse Take-Over"). Consequently, the share exchange between the stockholders of Logic Express and the Company has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Logic Express with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Logic Express. The operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Logic Express was incorporated on January 6, 2006 in the British Virgin Islands. Logic Express was established on April 17, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring a majority equity interest in Shandong Taibang from Up-Wing Investment Limited ("Up-wing"), an entity with identical stockholders in preparation of its reverse merger with GRC and anticipated offering of securities. Logic Express and Up-Wing had identical stockholders at the date of transfer. The transfer of equity interests in Shandong Taibang from Up-Wing to Logic Express (the "Transfer") was accounted for as reorganization under common control.

Up-Wing Investment Limited was incorporated on November 30, 1993 in Hong Kong. Up-Wing acquired an 82.76% equity interest in Shandong Taibang, the operating company of the Group in two equity transactions as described below. Shandong Taibang was established in the PRC on October 23, 2002 with a registered capital of approximately $9.7 million (or RMB80 million).

In accordance with the equity transfer agreement dated September 26, 2004 Up-Wing agreed to acquire 41% of registered capital (including the unpaid capital contribution) of Shandong Taibang from the Shandong Missile Biological Engineering Co Ltd, an unrelated party (i) for cash consideration of RMB8,000,000 and (ii) agreed to fund the minority shareholder's unpaid capital amount of RMB26,400,000 to Shandong Taibang. Up-Wing paid the RMB 8,000,000 on March 17, 2005 (the "March 2005 Acquisition") and the unpaid capital contribution amount of RMB26,400,000 on July 19, 2006. After completing the March 2005 Acquisition, Up-Wing held 11.94% of the paid-in capital and 41% of the voting rights of Shandong Taibang.

On June 10, 2005, Up-Wing entered into a share transfer agreement with another unrelated party, Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Co Ltd, an unrelated party, to acquire an additional 41.76% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang for a consideration of RMB35,500,000. The acquisition became effective on September 2, 2005 upon the approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (the "September 2005 Acquisition"). On April 17, 2006, Logic Express acquired the entire interest of Up-Wing in Shandong Taibang at historical cost due to common control. As of December 31, 2006, Logic Express owned an 82.76% interest in Shandong Taibang.

Concurrent with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement with Logic Express, the Company completed a private placement of shares of common stock to a group of investors resulting in the issuance by the Company of 2,200,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 1,070,000 shares of common stock at $1.895 per share. Further, in connection with the private placement, two of the Company's controlling stockholders sold 2,080,000 shares of common stock at $1.895 per share to the same group of investors. A portion of the proceeds of the new issuance was used to pay for the outstanding capital contribution of RMB26,400,000 of Shandong Taibang.

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

F-31


The Company has accounted for the acquisition of the additional equity interest in Shandong Taibang under the purchase method. The fair value of underlying net assets representing Up-Wing's additional 82.76% of paid-in capital acquired in Shandong Taibang exceeded Up-Wing's purchase price, giving rise to negative goodwill. Such negative goodwill was allocated to reduce the purchase price allocated to certain long-lived assets. As a result of this acquisition, the Company held 82.76% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang and Shandong Taibang became a subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of Shandong Taibang are consolidated in the financial statements of the Group from January 1, 2005.

On July 20, 2006, the Company fulfilled its commitment to fund a portion of the shortfall in registered capital of Shandong Taibang by injecting additional capital of RMB26,400,000 (approximately $3,383,000) into Shandong Taibang in the form of cash.

In connection with the private placement, the Company, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with the investors, agreed to file within 45 days of the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement a registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to the investors in the private placement. The Company failed to file this registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement and recognized in general and administrative expenses an amount of $811,060 (RMB6,353,114) at December 31, 2006 for the full amount of liquidated damages.

In conjunction with this private placement, Ms. Li Lin Ling and Ms. Chan Siu Ling, the controlling stockholders and directors of the Company, placed an aggregate 4,280,000 shares of common stock in escrow, pursuant to a share escrow agreement dated July 19, 2006, (the "Escrow Agreement") as amended, pursuant to which one half of the escrowed shares are to be released to the investors in the private placement on a pro rata basis if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) do not reflect at least after-tax net income of at least $4,819,000 or after-tax net income before minority interest of $5,823,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006; and if the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with US GAAP do not reflect at least an after-tax net income of $8,302,000 or after-tax net income before minority interests of $10,031,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the second half of the escrow shares will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the investors. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (i) liquidated damages accrued according to the registration rights agreement; (ii) gain or loss on change in fair value of warrants; and (iii) stock-based compensation charge arising from transferring of shares from stockholders to senior management, are not deemed to be an income or expense item in calculating the after-tax net income for the purpose of the Escrow Agreement. If such performance thresholds are met, the shares are to be returned to Ms Li Lin Ling and Ms Chan Siu Ling.

Management determined that the threshold for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been met.

Acquisition of assets from plasma stations in Shandong Province

In the second half of 2006, Shandong Taibang, through its wholly owned plasma companies, entered into an asset transfer agreement with Shandong Provincial government to acquire certain assets of five plasma stations in Shandong Province. The total consideration of $2,472,846 for the acquisition was paid in 2006 and was on based on independent valuations performed by qualified valuation experts registered in the PRC. As the Company is acquiring certain assets from the plasma stations, these acquisitions are not considered business combinations pursuant to SFAS No. 141 under Regulation SB Item 310(d).

The operating licenses of the plasma stations started on January 1, 2007, no operations occurred in 2006. The net assets of the plasma stations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statement.

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company's consolidated financial statements of reflect the activities of the parent and the following subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries      
Percentage of
       
Ownership
Logic Express Ltd.   British Virgin Islands   100%
Shandong Missile Biologic Products., Ltd   The People's Republic of China   82.76%

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The Reverse Take-Over has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Logic Express with no adjustment to the historical basis of the assets and liabilities of Logic Express. The operations were consolidated as though the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first accounting period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

F-33


Because Logic Express and Up-Wing were under common control, the Transfer has been accounted for as a business combination similar to a pooling-of-interests. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Logic Express and Up-Wing at their historical amounts, and the financial statements and results of Shandong Taibang as though it had been acquired at the beginning of 2005.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company's principal operating subsidiaries established in the PRC uses their local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $1,118,384 and $551,209 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were translated at 7.80 RMB to $1.00 USD and 8.06 RMB, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 7.96 RMB and 8.18 RMB, respectively.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable, which are generally considered to be met upon delivery and acceptance of products at the customer site. Normally, we do not accept any product returns and according to our record, the returns are immaterial. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company's products sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government.

Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative costs and totaled $91,831 and $9,734 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, management estimates potential losses on outstanding receivables. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. SFAS 107 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

Cash and concentration of risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within PRC, Hong Kong and the United States of America. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the Unites States. Balances at financial institutions or state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. Total cash (excluding restricted cash balances) in state-owned banks at December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $4,268,220 and $607,376, respectively, of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company reviews its inventory periodically for possible obsolete goods or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has determined that no reserves are necessary.

Property and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $404,003 and $351,584 respectively.

Estimated
      Useful Life
Buildings   30   years
Machinery and equipment   10   years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment   5-10   years

Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or new additions to the Company's plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into service. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144. When estimated cash flows generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2006, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

Given the environment in which the Group currently operates, it is reasonably possible that the estimated economic useful lives of these assets or the Group's estimate that it will recover their carrying amounts from future operations could change in the future.

All land in PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants the user a "land use right" to use the land. The Company has the right to use various parcels of land that range from 50 years in length. The Company amortizes the cost of the land use rights over their useful life using the straight-line method.

Other intangible assets represent permits, licenses and Good Manufacturing Practice Certificates contributed in return for equity upon the establishment of Shandong Taibang in 2002. Contributed rights include those necessary to manufacture and distribute human blood products in the PRC market as authorized by the relevant PRC authorities. The estimated useful life of the contributed rights is 5-10 years

Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed annually or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2006, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.

Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $42,479 and $21,978 respectively.

Income taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Since the Company had no operations within the United States there is no provision for US taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In July, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretations No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidation financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2006, FASB issued FSB EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognised and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The FSB EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for new and modified registration payment arrangements entered into after December 21, 2006, and beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for any such instruments entered into before that date. As the Company failed to file the registration statement within the time period prescribed by the registration rights agreement, the full amount of liquidated damages of $811,000 (RMB6,330,000) was recognized in general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2006.

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

F-39


In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities" ("FSP EITF 07-3"), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

Note 3 - Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, amounted to $1,068,466 and $175,184, respectively.

Note 7 – Acquisition

Initial acquisition of Shandong Taibang

On March 17, 2005, Up-Wing completed the acquisition of 41% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang for a consideration of RMB34,400,000, of which RMB8,000,000 was paid by cash and the remaining consideration of RMB26,400,000 was paid on July 19, 2006. Up-Wing has accounted for the acquisition of 41% of the registered capital in Shandong Taibang under the purchase method.

Acquisition of additional equity interest in Shandong Taibang

On September 2, 2005, Up-Wing completed the acquisition of an additional 41.76% of registered capital in Shandong Taibang from the then equity owner, for net consideration of RMB35,500,000 (Note 1). The then equity owner also assigned its portion of dividend from Shandong Taibang to the Up-Wing totaled $793,865, this amount is treated as reduction in total consideration.

Up-Wing has accounted for the acquisition of the additional equity interest in Shandong Taibang under the purchase method. The fair value of underlying net assets representing Up-Wing's additional 82.76% of paid-in capital acquired in Shandong Taibang exceeded Up-Wing's purchase price, giving rise to negative goodwill. Such negative goodwill was allocated to reduce the purchase price allocated to certain long-lived assets. As a result of this acquisition, the Company held 82.76% of the registered capital of Shandong Taibang and Shandong Taibang became a subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of Shandong Taibang are consolidated in the financial statements of the Group from January 1, 2005.

Additional capital injection into Shandong Taibang

On July 20, 2006, Up-wing fulfilled its commitment to fund a portion of the shortfall in registered capital of Shandong Taibang by injecting additional capital of RMB26,400,000 (approximately $3,383,000) into Shandong Taibang in the form of cash.

The purchase price for the September 2005 Acquisition and July 2006 Acquisition represented the results of negotiations with the then stockholders, who were disadvantaged by the following conditions:

(1)    Because the share capital was not yet fully paid-up at that moment, Shandong Taibang had insufficient working capital and liquidity to support its long term obligation; and

(2)    According to the Articles of Association, the RMB26,400,000 unpaid capital was to be contributed within six months from the formation of the joint venture by April 23, 2003.

However, the then stockholder failed to fulfill the obligation. Pursuant to the PRC rules and regulations applicable to foreign invested enterprises, if the then stockholder failed to contribute the RMB 26,400,000 by the specific date, their entire interest would be forfeited. Details of the fair value of the net assets of Shandong Taibang consolidated on September 2, 2005 are as follows:

Note 9 – Income taxes

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

See the report of the independent registered public accounting firm.

In 2002, the Company became a Sino-foreign joint venture. In 2003, the Company was granted by the state government for benefit of income tax exemption in first 2 years from January 2003 to December 2004 and 50% exemption for the third to fifth years from January 2005 to December 2007.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises ("DES") and Foreign Invested Enterprises ("FIEs").

The key changes are:

a.     

The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pays at a reduced rate of 15%; and

 
b.

Companies established before March 16, 2007 will continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace period of the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner. These companies will pay the standard tax rate as defined in point "a" above during the grace period.

The Company's subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, was established before March 16, 2007 and therefore is qualified to continue enjoying the reduced tax rate as described above. Since the detailed guidelines of the new tax law is not publicized yet, the Company cannot determined what the new tax rate will be applicable to the Company after the end of their respective tax holiday terms.

The Company was granted by the local government for benefit of income tax exemption for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 through 2006 for making purchases on local equipment.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company's effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

Legal Proceedings

In July 2006, one of our sales employees misappropriated our goods and resold them to other parties using a counterfeited Company seal. The amount involved was approximately RMB1.16 million (approximately $0.15 million). The incident was revealed during a routine reconciliation of our account receivables. We reported the misappropriation to the police and the employee was arrested and criminal charges were brought against him. To date, we have recovered RMB350,000 in cash and goods of valued at approximately RMB30,000 (altogether, approximately $0.05 million). The balance will be recouped on or before the end of 2007, pursuant to a financial guarantee and repayment agreement between us and the employee witnessed by officials at the Taian City Police Station.

In 2006, Missile Engineering, which is controlled by Mr. Zu Ying Du, applied for arbitration in China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission ("CIETAC") to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer of the shares he formerly owned in Shandong Taibang. The arbitration was dismissed in April 2006. We believe that all necessary approvals and documentation were obtained at the time of transfer and have initiated legal action in China intending to restrain Mr. Du from seeking to resolve his differences with us by means other than arbitration, the agreed-upon method of conflict resolution at the time of the transfer.

In December 2006, we brought separate legal action in Tai Shan District Court in Shandong Province against Mr. Du for defamation in connection with his tortious comments regarding Shandong Taibang. We sought to enjoin Mr. Du from such conduct as well as damages of approximately $3,000. The outcome of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On February 5, 2007, our subsidiary Shandong Taibang received a summons from the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, regarding an ongoing dispute with Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co Ltd., or Hua Lan, the plaintiff, pursuant to which Hua Lan alleges that Feng Lin, the principal of the Bobai Kangan Plasma Collection Co. Ltd., or Bobai, and Keliang Huang established the Bobai Plasma Collection Station in Bobai County, Guangxi, using a permit for collecting and supplying human plasma in Bobai County, that was granted to Hua Lan by the government of the Guangxi region, without Hua Lan's permission. On January 18, 2007, we had signed a letter of intent to acquire the Bobai Plasma Collection Station from Bobai. However, on January 29, 2007, on Hua Lan's motion, the District Court entered an order to freeze funds in the amount of RMB3,000,000 held by the defendants in the case, including RMB 500,000 in funds held in Shandong Taibang's bank account in Taian City, and Shandong Taibang was joined as a third party defendant. The first hearing in the foregoing matter was scheduled to be held before the District Court in March 2007 but was suspended to allow the defendants to enter a plea to the Henan Provincial Court requesting clarification regarding whether the District Court has proper jurisdiction when the act of infringement and all defendants are not in Henan Province. A hearing was held on June 25, 2007 and judgment was entered against the defendants. There was no financial judgment on us and the RMB500, 000 has been released, however, we have appealed the judgment to the high court. Other than the place of jurisdiction, we cannot make any comment on the validity of the franchise agreement between Bobai and Hua Lan. If Hua Lan prevails in this case then we may not be able to acquire Bobai. However, management does not expect our inability to acquire Bobai to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations as Bobai is only a small station.

Note 14 – Current vulnerability due to certain concentrations

The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company's major product, Human Albumin: - 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml and 20%/50ml, accounted for 84.6% and 75.7% of total revenues for year ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively. If the market demands for human albumin cannot be sustained in the future or if there is a decrease in the price of human albumin, it would adversely affect the Group's operating results.

All of the Group's customers are located in the PRC. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Group had no significant concentration of credit risk, except for the amounts due from related parties. There were no customers that individually comprised 10% or more of revenue in the periods presented.
