The resale of the shares or the sale of new shares is not being underwritten. The selling security holder may sell or distribute the shares, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through underwriters, dealers, brokers or other agents, or directly to one or more purchasers.

Pursuant to the registration rights granted by us to the selling security holder, we are obligated to register the shares held by the selling security holder.

RISK FACTORS
The following are risk factors, which are directly related to our business, financial condition, and this offering. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk and you should not invest in the securities offered unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should read these risk factors in conjunction with other more detailed disclosures located elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
We must obtain additional financing to execute our business plan.
The revenues from the production and sale of our pharmaceutical products and the projected revenues from these products are not adequate to support our expansion and product development programs. We will need substantial additional funds to build our new production facilities, pursue further research and development, obtain regulatory approvals; file, prosecute, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights and market our products. We will seek additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing, strategic transactions and/or from other sources. We could enter into collaborative arrangements for the development of particular products that would lead to our relinquishing some or all rights to the related technology or products.
There are no assurances that future funding will be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional funding is not obtained, we will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives or overhead expenditures, to the extent necessary. The failure to fund our capital requirements would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations
We have a limited operating history. Aida commenced operations in 1999. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in evolving industries such as the pharmaceutical industry in China. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:
·
maintain our position as one of the market leaders in China;
·
offer new and innovative drugs to attract and retain a larger customer base;
·
attract additional customers and increase spending per customer;
·
increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop user and customer loyalty;
·
respond to competitive market conditions;
·
respond to changes in our regulatory environment;
·
manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;
·
maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;
·
raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business;
·
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
·
upgrade our technology to support additional research and development of new products.
If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
7
We are currently dependent on our flagship product, Etimicin Sulfate. A reduction in revenues of Etimicin would cause our revenues to decline and could materially harm our business.
We are largely dependent on sales of our pillar product, Etimicin Sulfate (Etimicin). Revenues from sales of Etimicin accounted for 88% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 and accounted for 69% of our revenues during the first nine months of 2007. We are developing some new products which will account a large portion of our revenues in the future. We expect that sales of Etimicin will continue to comprise a substantial portion of our revenues in the coming two years.
Any reduction in revenues from Etimicin will have a direct negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our Etimicin associated revenues could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including:
·
increased competition;
·
new product introductions;
·
government-imposed pricing constraints;
·
intellectual property issues;
·
problems with raw materials supply;
·
disruptions in manufacturing or distribution; and
·
newly discovered safety issues.
Specifically during the first nine months of 2007, we suffered a negative impact on our sales caused by a relatively rigorous industrial environment due to strict regulation policies, a personnel change at the SFDA, and market disorder created by patent infringement.
Due to our relative lack of product diversification, an investment in our Company may entail more risk than investments in companies that offer a wider variety of products or services. Despite our efforts, we may be unable to develop or acquire new products that would enable us to diversify our business and reduce our dependence on Etimicin.
We cannot assure you that our organic growth strategy will be successful.
One of our growth strategies is to grow organically through increasing the distribution and sales of our products by penetrating existing markets in China and entering new geographic markets in China as well as other parts of Asia and the United States. However, many obstacles to entering such new markets exist, including, but not limited to, international trade and tariff barriers, shipping and delivery costs, costs associated with marketing efforts abroad and maintaining attractive foreign exchange ratios. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our products in any additional markets. Our inability to implement this organic growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact on our growth, future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
8
We cannot assure you that our acquisition growth strategy will be successful.
In addition to our organic growth strategy, we also expect to grow through strategic acquisitions. We intend to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses in China that are complementary or related in product lines and business structure to us. We may not be able to locate suitable acquisition candidates at prices that we consider appropriate or to finance acquisitions on terms that are satisfactory to us. If we do identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to negotiate successfully the terms of an acquisition, or, if the acquisition occurs, integrate the acquired business into our existing business. Acquisitions of businesses or other material operations may require debt financing or additional equity financing, resulting in leverage or dilution of ownership. Integration of acquired business operations could disrupt our business by diverting management away from day-to-day operations. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. We also may not be able to maintain key employees or customers of an acquired business or realize cost efficiencies or synergies or other benefits we anticipated when selecting our acquisition candidates. In addition, we may need to record write-downs from future impairments of intangible assets, which could reduce our future reported earnings. At times, acquisition candidates may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition. In addition to the above, acquisitions in China, including of state owned businesses, will be required to comply with laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), to the extent applicable. There can be no assurance that any given proposed acquisition will be able to comply with PRC requirements, rules and/or regulations, or that we will successfully obtain governmental approvals which are necessary to consummate such acquisitions, to the extent required.
Our success depends on collaborative partners, licensees and other third parties over whom we have limited control.
Due to the complexity of the process of developing pharmaceuticals, our core business includes arrangements with pharmaceutical institutes, corporate and academic collaborators, licensors, licensees and others for the research, development, clinical testing, technology rights, manufacturing, marketing and commercialization of our products. There are no assurances that we will be able to establish or maintain collaborations that are important to our business on favorable terms, or at all.
A number of risks arise from our dependence on collaborative agreements with third parties. Product development and commercialization efforts could be adversely affected if any collaborative partner:
·
terminates or suspends its agreement with us;
·
causes delays;
·
fails to timely develop or manufacture in adequate quantities a substance needed in order to conduct clinical trials;
·
fails to adequately perform clinical trials;
·
determines not to develop, manufacture or commercialize a product to which it has rights; or
·
otherwise fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Our collaborative partners could pursue other technologies or develop alternative products that could compete with the products we are developing.
9
The profitability of our products depends in part on our ability to protect proprietary rights and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
The profitability of our products depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patents and licenses and preserve trade secrets, and the period during which our intellectual property remains exclusive. We must also operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties and without third parties circumventing our rights. The patent positions of pharmaceutical enterprises, including ours, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles are largely unresolved. For example, no consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of biotechnology patent claims that are granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or enforced by the U.S. federal courts. In addition, the scope of the originally claimed subject matter in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued. The patent situation outside the U.S. is even more uncertain, is currently undergoing review and revision in many countries, and may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Because patent applications are maintained in secrecy in some cases, we cannot be certain that our licensors or we are the first creators of inventions described in our pending patent applications or patents or the first to file patent applications for such inventions.
Other companies may independently develop similar products and design around any patented products we develop. We cannot assure you that:
·
any of our patent applications will result in the issuance of patents;
·
we will develop additional patentable products;
·
the patents we have been issued will provide us with any competitive advantages;
·
the patents of others will not impede our ability to do business; or
·
third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents.
A number of pharmaceutical, research and academic companies and institutions have developed technologies, filed patent applications or received patents on technologies that may relate to our business. If these technologies, applications or patents conflict with ours, the scope of our current or future patents could be limited or our patent applications could be denied. Our business may be adversely affected if competitors independently develop competing technologies, especially if we do not obtain, or obtain only narrow, patent protection. If patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, we may not be able to obtain licenses at a reasonable cost, or at all; develop our technology; or introduce, manufacture or sell the products we have planned.
Patent litigation is becoming widespread in the pharmaceutical industry. Such litigation may affect our efforts to form collaborations, to conduct research or development, to conduct clinical testing or to manufacture or market any products under development. There are no assurances that our patents would be held valid or enforceable by a court or that a competitors technology or product would be found to infringe our patents in the event of patent litigation. Our business could be materially affected by an adverse outcome to such litigation. Similarly, we may need to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent international authorities to determine priority of invention. We could incur substantial costs and devote significant management resources to defend our patent position or to seek a declaration that another companys patents are invalid.
Much of our know-how and technology may not be patentable, though it may constitute trade secrets. There are no assurances that we will be able to meaningfully protect our trade secrets. We cannot assure you that any of our existing confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors or collaborators will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Collaborators, advisors or consultants may dispute the ownership of proprietary rights to our technology, for example by asserting that they developed the technology independently.
10
We may not be able to get the certification of good manufacturing practices (GMP) for new products.
GMP Certificate is the regulatory requirement for pharmaceutical companies to obtain to maintain their qualification of manufacturing. The GMP certification is instructed and supervised by government authority. The certificate will expire after five years from issuing and the pharmaceutical company shall have to apply for re-inspection and for extension of the certificate once re-inspection result is satisfactory.
We have to obtain the GMP Certificate to qualify our manufacturing. But since there is uncertainty of obtaining the certificate, if we fail to get it, we have to reallocate our production capacity. It may adversely affect our performance.
We may encounter difficulties in manufacturing our products.
Before our products can be profitable, they must be produced in commercial quantities in a cost-effective manufacturing process that complies with regulatory requirements, including GMP, production and quality control regulations. If we cannot arrange for or maintain commercial-scale manufacturing on acceptable terms, or if there are delays or difficulties in the manufacturing process, we may not be able to conduct clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval or meet demand for our products. Production of our products could require raw materials which are scarce or which can be obtained only from a limited number of sources. If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of such raw materials, the development, regulatory approval and marketing of our products could be delayed.
We could need more clinical trials or take more time to complete our clinical trials than we have planned.
Clinical trials vary in design by factors including dosage, end points, length, and controls. We may need to conduct a series of trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our products. The results of these trials may not demonstrate safety or efficacy sufficiently for regulatory authorities to approve our products. Further, the actual schedules for our clinical trials could vary dramatically from the forecasted schedules due to factors including changes in trial design, conflicts with the schedules of participating clinicians and clinical institutions, and changes affecting product supplies for clinical trials.
We rely on collaborators, including academic institutions, governmental agencies and clinical research organizations, to conduct, supervise, monitor and design some or all aspects of clinical trials involving our products. Since these trials depend on governmental participation and funding, we have less control over their timing and design than trials we sponsor. Delays in or failure to commence or complete any planned clinical trials could delay the ultimate timelines for our product releases. Such delays could reduce investors confidence in our ability to develop products, likely causing our share price to decrease.
We may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals or clearances that are necessary to commercialize our products.
The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and other countries impose significant statutory and regulatory obligations upon the manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. Each regulatory authority typically has a lengthy approval process in which it examines pre-clinical and clinical data and the facilities in which the product is manufactured. Regulatory submissions must meet complex criteria to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ultimate products. Addressing these criteria requires considerable data collection, verification and analysis. We may spend time and money preparing regulatory submissions or applications without assurances as to whether they will be approved on a timely basis or at all.
11
Our product candidates, some of whom are currently in the early stages of development, will require significant additional development and pre-clinical and clinical testing prior to their commercialization. These steps and the process of obtaining required approvals and clearances can be costly and time-consuming. If our potential products are not successfully developed, cannot be proven to be safe and effective through clinical trials, or do not receive applicable regulatory approvals and clearances, or if there are delays in the process:
·
the commercialization of our products could be adversely affected;
·
any competitive advantages of the products could be diminished; and
·
revenues or collaborative milestones from the products could be reduced or delayed.
Governmental and regulatory authorities may approve a product candidate for fewer indications or narrower circumstances than requested or may condition approval on the performance of post-marketing studies for a product candidate. Even if a product receives regulatory approval and clearance, it may later exhibit adverse side effects that limit or prevent its widespread use or that force us to withdraw the product from the market.
Any marketed product and its manufacturer will continue to be subject to strict regulation after approval. Results of post-marketing programs may limit or expand the further marketing of products. Unforeseen problems with an approved product or any violation of regulations could result in restrictions on the product, including its withdrawal from the market and possible civil actions.
In manufacturing our products we will be required to comply with applicable good manufacturing practices regulations, which include requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance, as well as the maintenance of records and documentation. If we cannot comply with regulatory requirements, including applicable good manufacturing practice requirements, we may not be allowed to develop or market the product candidates. If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements at any stage during the regulatory process, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, product recalls or seizures, injunctions, refusal of regulatory agencies to review pending market approval applications or supplements to approve applications, total or partial suspension of production, civil penalties, withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications and criminal prosecution.
Competitors may develop and market pharmaceutical products that are less expensive, more effective or safer, making our products obsolete or uncompetitive.
Some of our competitors and potential competitors have greater product development capabilities and financial, scientific, marketing and human resources than we do. Technological competition from pharmaceutical companies is intense and is expected to increase. Other companies have developed technologies that could be the basis for competitive products. Some of these products have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the desired curative effect than products we are developing. Alternative products may be developed that are more effective, work faster and are less costly than our products. Competitors may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining approvals and clearances for such products more rapidly than us, or developing products that are more effective than ours. In addition, other forms of treatment may be competitive with our products. Over time, our technology or products may become obsolete or uncompetitive.
Our products may not gain market acceptance.
Our products may not gain market acceptance in the medical community. The degree of market acceptance of any product depends on a number of factors, including establishment and demonstration of clinical efficacy and safety, cost-effectiveness, clinical advantages over alternative products, and marketing and distribution support for the products. Limited information regarding these factors is available in connection with our products or products that may compete with ours.
12
To directly market and distribute our pharmaceutical products, we or our collaborators require a marketing and sales force with appropriate technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities. We may not be able to further establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into arrangements with third parties on acceptable terms. If we or our partners cannot successfully market and sell our products, our ability to generate revenue will be limited.
Our operations and the use of our products could subject us to damages relating to injuries or accidental contamination.
Our research and development processes may involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. We are subject to federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and waste products. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from handling and disposing of such materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident involving hazardous materials, we could be held liable for resulting damages. We are not insured with respect to this liability. Such liability could exceed our resources. In the future, we could incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
If we were successfully sued for product liability, we could face substantial liabilities that may exceed our resources.
We may be held liable if any product we develop causes injury or is found unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale or use. These risks are inherent in the development of pharmaceutical products. We currently do not have product liability insurance. We are not insured with respect to this liability. If we choose to obtain product liability insurance but cannot obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, the commercialization of products that we develop may be prevented or inhibited. If we are sued for any injury caused by our products, our liability could exceed our total assets.
We have limited business insurance coverage.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.
We may have difficulty defending our intellectual property rights from infringement.
We regard our service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark, patent and trade secret law, as well as confidentiality and license agreements with certain of our employees, customers and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have received trademark and patent protection for certain of our products in the People's Republic of China. No assurance can be given that our patents and licenses will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantage to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain a license from a third-party technology that we may need to conduct our business or that such technology can be licensed at a reasonable cost. Presently we sell our products mainly in China. To the extent that we market our products in other countries, we may have to take additional action to protect our intellectual property. The measures we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate and we cannot give you any assurance that our competitors will not independently develop formulations and processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to our own or copy our products.
13
If our products infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, we may incur substantial liabilities, and we may be unable to sell these products.
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. Under the PRC Patent Law promulgated by the Peoples Congress in March 1984 and later revised in September 1992 and August 2000, patent applications are maintained in confidence until their publication 18 months from the filing date. The publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made and patent applications are filed. China adopts the first-to-file system under which whoever first files a patent application (instead of the one who makes first actual discoveries) will be awarded the patent. By contrast, U.S. patent law endorses the first-to-invent system under which whoever makes the first actual discovery will be awarded the patent. Under the first-to-file system, even after reasonable investigation we may not know with certainty whether we have infringed a third partys patent because such third party may have filed a patent application without our knowledge while we are still developing that product. We are aware of intellectual property rights held by third parties that relate to products or technologies we are developing. For example, we are aware of a patent held by a third party that may relate to our product. We believe, as to each claim in this patent, that we either do not infringe the claim of the patent or that the claim is invalid. While the validity of issued patents, patentability of pending patent applications and applicability of any of them to our programs are uncertain, if asserted against us, any related patent rights could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products.
If a third party claims that we infringe its proprietary rights, any of the following may occur:
·
we may become involved in time-consuming and expensive litigation, even if the claim is without merit;
·
we may become liable for substantial damages for past infringement if a court decides that our technology infringes a third partys patent;
·
a court may prohibit us from selling or licensing our product without a license from the patent holder, which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or which may require us to pay substantial royalties or grant cross licenses to our patents; and
·
we may have to reformulate our product so that it does not infringe patent rights of others, which may not be possible or could be very expensive and time-consuming.
Although to date we have not experienced any of the circumstances listed above, if any of these events occurs, our business will suffer and the market price of our stock could decline.
Our success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
We depend on a core management and scientific team. The loss of any of these individuals could prevent us from achieving our business objective of commercializing our product candidates. Our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract and retain other highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing and government regulation. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. If our recruitment and retention efforts are unsuccessful, our business operations could suffer.
14
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we could be subject to sanctions. In addition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business. We may be considered a foreign person or foreign invested enterprise under PRC law. As a result, we would be subject to PRC law limitations on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our business. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulation of pharmaceutical business and companies, including limitations on our ability to own key assets.
The PRC government regulates the pharmaceutical industry, including foreign ownership of, and the licensing and permit requirements pertaining to, companies in the pharmaceutical industry. These laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be a violation of applicable laws and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to PRC government regulation of the pharmaceutical industry include uncertainties relating to the regulation of the pharmaceutical business in China, including evolving licensing practices, which means that permits, licenses or operations at our Company may be subject to challenge. This may disrupt our business, or subject us to sanctions, requirements to increase capital or other conditions or enforcement, or compromise enforceability of related contractual arrangements, or have other harmful effects on us.
15
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business.
Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Chinas economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. Since early 2004, the PRC government has implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. Such measures may cause a decrease in the level of economic activity in China, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
If PRC law were to phase out the preferential tax benefits currently being extended to foreign invested enterprises, we would have to pay more taxes, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Under PRC laws and regulations, Aida enjoys preferential tax benefits as a foreign invested enterprise. If the PRC law were to phase out preferential tax benefits currently granted to Aida, we would be subject to the standard statutory tax rate, which currently is 33%. Loss of this preferential tax treatment could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Aida is subject to restrictions on making payments to us.
We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in our subsidiary companies in China. As a result of our holding company structure, we rely entirely on payments from our subsidiary companies in China. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. See Government control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment. Furthermore, if our affiliated entities in China incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to make payments. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through dividends or other arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.
We conduct our business primarily through our affiliated Chinese entities, including principally Aida. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. We are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
16
Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or our named experts.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, we have been advised that the PRC does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries and our affiliated entity to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
Fluctuation in the value of RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Our revenues and costs are mostly denominated in RMB, while some of our financial assets are denominated in U.S. dollars. We rely entirely on fees paid to us by our affiliated entity in China. Any significant fluctuation in value of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would make any new RMB denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for such purposes. An appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our U.S. dollar denominated financial assets into RMB, as RMB is our functional currency.
17
We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks.
Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of SARS or another epidemic or outbreak. China reported a number of cases of SARS in April 2004. Any prolonged recurrence of SARS or other adverse public health developments in China may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other government regulations adopted in response may require temporary closure of our production facilities or of our offices. Such closures would severely disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to combat any future outbreak of SARS or any other epidemic.
Risk Factors Related to this Offering
Our common stock, redeemable class A warrant and redeemable class B warrant prices may fall upon the future sale of additional shares of our common stock.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or even the possibility of such sales, may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, redeemable class A warrants and redeemable class B warrants. There were 27,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding before this offering. Substantially all of such shares are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. All of these restricted shares of our common stock will become eligible for resale under Rule 144 within one year from the day that the shares offered herein are deemed "effective" by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Redemption of redeemable class A warrants and/or redeemable class B warrants could deprive you of your right to exercise your warrants.
The redeemable class A warrants and redeemable class B warrants are redeemable by us, at a redemption price of $0.10 per warrant, upon at least 30 days' prior written notice, commencing on _______, 2008 (six months after the date hereof), if the average of the closing high bid prices of the common stock exceeds $3.00 or $3.50, respectively, for five consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice took effect. If the redeemable class A warrants and/or redeemable class B warrants are redeemed, the holders will lose their right to exercise their warrants except during such 30 day redemption period. Redemption of the redeemable class A warrants and/or redeemable class B warrants could force the holders to exercise the warrants at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do so or to sell the warrants at the then current market value.
Unless the price of our common stock trades above $3.00, you may never have an opportunity to exercise your redeemable class A warrants or redeemable class B warrants, resulting in a complete loss of their value.
The redeemable class A warrants and redeemable class B warrants are exercisable at prices of $3.00 and $3.50 per share, respectively. Unless our common stock trades above that price, you will have no incentive to exercise the warrants. If our common stock does not trade above $3.00 or $.50 per share within five years, there would be no reason for you to exercise the warrants and they will become worthless.
To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We intend to retain all earnings for the Companys operations.
18
The application of the penny stock rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
As long as the trading price of our common shares is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be subject to the penny stock rules. The penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchasers written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.
Our common shares are thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The Company cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for its common stock will develop or be sustained. However, the Company does not rule out the possibility of applying for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchanges.
Our common shares have been sporadically or thinly-traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board since only September 28, 2005, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded float and lack of current revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
19
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or risky investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our current and potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.
The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes; additions or departures of our key personnel; as well as other items discussed under this Risk Factors section, and elsewhere in this Prospectus. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price. However, the Company does not rule out the possibility of applying for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchanges.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.
The limited market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert managements attention and resources.
20
Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal shareholders.
Our principal shareholders own the majority of our outstanding common stock. These shareholders, acting individually or as a group, exert substantial influence over matters such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal shareholders, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these shareholders. While all of our shareholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal shareholders. As such, it would be difficult for shareholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management. There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as shareholders will be viewed favorably by all shareholders of the Company.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our articles of incorporation do not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and shareholders; however, we intend to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.
Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.
There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies, which we may seek to purchase. Further, there could be changes in certain accounting rules. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.
We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
We may, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The shares quoted are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15(g)9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Trading in the shares is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, the monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in the Companys common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.
23
Holders
As of November 30, 2007, the approximate number of stockholders of record of the Common Stock of the Company was 55. We have 27,000,000 shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Dividends
We have not declared any dividends to date. We have no present intention of paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use earnings, if any, to generate growth. The payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. There are no material restrictions in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
None.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Units will be sold at a price of $2.20 per unit. We believe that this price is fair based upon the current price of our current common stock and because the purchasers will be receiving one share, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant each of which will entitle the warrant holder to purchase one share of the Companys common stock at $2.50 per share in the case of the Class A warrant and $3.00 in the case of the Class B warrant. Furthermore, we do not want to sell shares at a price below $2.20 per share because that might cause our stock price to stagnate at that price. Except as set forth above, we have not used any formulas or other specific criteria to determine the price of the units and the offering price has no relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. The selling security holder may sell all or a portion of their shares in the over-the-counter market at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or related to the market price at the time of sale, or at other negotiated prices.
DILUTION AND COMPARATIVE DATA
The difference between the public offering price per share of common stock, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities (including the value of common stock which may be converted into cash), by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2007, our net tangible book value was $1,694,595, or approximately $0.063 per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of the maximum offering of 1,200,000 shares of common stock, and the deduction of estimated expenses of this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value at September 30, 2007, would have been $4,184,595, or $0.148 per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.085 per share to initial stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.052 per share to new investors.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
.
We have included forward-looking statements in this Prospectus. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "plan" or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors. Factors that might cause forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual results include, among other things, overall economic and business conditions, demand for the Company's products, competitive factors in the industries in which we compete or intend to compete, natural gas availability and cost and timing, impact and other uncertainties of our future acquisition plans.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for us to recognize revenue:
1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
3. The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
4. Collectibility is reasonably assured.
For fixed-priced refundable contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a completion basis. Progress payments received/receivables are recognized as revenue only if the specified criteria is achieved, accepted by the customer, confirmed not refundable and continued performance of future research and development services related to the criteria are not required.
We have identified one policy area as critical to the understanding of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. With respect to net realizable value of the Company's accounts receivable, Long-lived assets and inventories, significant estimation judgments are made and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, management of the Company provided a reserve on its accounts receivable to reflect managements expectation on the collectibility of aged accounts receivable. Managements estimation of the reserve on accounts receivable at September 30, 2007 was based on the current facts that there are aged accounts receivable. Management has assessed the customers ability to continue to pay the outstanding invoices timely, and whether their financial position will deteriorate significantly in the future which would result in their inability to pay their debts to the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company had made no impairments for Long-lived assets. Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The Company also periodically evaluates the amortization periods of its depreciable assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful lives.
27
Management's estimation whether a provision is needed is based on managements analysis of the current facts of whether potential impairments on the current carrying value of the inventories due to potential obsolescence exist as a result of aged inventories. In making their judgments, management made their estimations of the potential impairments based on the demand for their products in the future and the trends of turnover of the inventories.
While the Company's management currently believes that there is little likelihood that the actual results of their current estimates will differ materially from such current estimates, if the financial position of its customers deteriorates, if there is a significant reduction in the carrying value of its Long-lived assets, or if, customer demand for its products decreases significantly in the near future, the Company could realize significant write downs for uncollectible accounts receivable, impairment of Long-lived assets or slow moving inventories.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), an interpretation of FASB statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities −− Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159, which becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. This standard permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The Company does not anticipate that election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on the results or operations or consolidated financial position

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the sales of Hangzhou Aida decreased by $1,482,993 or 21.71% as compared to the same period of 2006. The Chinese pharmaceutical industry suffers from a relatively rigorous industrial environment since last year mainly due to the frequent strict regulation policies and personnel change from SFDA. This negatively affected the sales of the Company in the short term. The new medicine tender system for hospitals in some regions such as some east-south areas of China, in the beginning of 2007 requires the hospitals to purchase medicines and drugs only from the manufacturer of Pharmaceutical rather than distributors, which resulted in sales returns from some distributors. The Company believes after renewal of distribution channel and rapid adaptation to the new system, we can overcome the short period disadvantage. In a view of the long run, the Company will benefit a lot from the restructuring of the industry and government regulation as a well-disciplined and innovative company. Meanwhile, some other Etimicin manufacturers who infringed the patent of Etimicin also created disorder of the market, thus bringing negative impact against the business performance of the company.But with the successful ongoing of the legal action, we believe that those manufacturers will stop producing and selling shortly. We see the recovery of our sales from the second quarter compared with that in the first quarter of this year. We believe that our operation and growth will continue to recover in the coming quarters. We also expect that the commercialization of our new drugs will improve the heavy reliance on Etimicin and lessen the fluctuation of our performance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the sales of Hainan Aike decreased by $521,518 or 5.43% as compared to the same period of 2006. The decrease in sales can mainly be accounted for the slight decrease in sales of the Etimicin transfusion product, Aiyi.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the sales of Fangyuan increased by $1,032,559 or 32.07% as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in sales is the result of the intense marketing and promotion programs of a new Etimicin injection product, Chuangcheng. Another reason is the increase in sales of the Etimicin material product.

The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $9,740,952 an increase of $61,385 from $9,679,567, for the year 2006. The increase in cost of goods sold can be analyzed as follows:

On July 5, 2006, the Company issued 800,000 and 1,200,000 shares of common stock on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to employees and consultants, respectively. The stock based compensation expense was exceptional this year and no such expense was occurred for the same period last year. Although it materially increased the general and administrative expense of the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company believes that Aida will benefit from it in the future on two respects: Firstly, it will greatly encourage our key employees to contribute more to the Company; secondly, the share compensation to the consultants will be very helpful in obtaining valuable assistance and resources from the consultants in the areas of our strategic planning, marketing, sales exploring and acquisitions.
The consultancy and audit fees which the Company pays consultants for their consultation service increased from $217,800 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $528,419 for the same period this year. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the consultancy fees of $158,627 and $38,176 from Hangzhou Aida and Fangyuan respectively, and to the increase in the audit fees of $83,854.
Bad debt provision of $161,655 for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by $548,035 from $709,690 for the same period last year. The decrease resulted from the decrease in the bad debt provision of $364,416 and $82,058 from Aike and Fangyuan respectively for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Amortization of other intangible assets and land use right of $493,485 for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $200,086 from $293,399 for the same period last year. The increase was explained by that the increase in amortization of other intangible assets of $96,904 and $49,837 occurred by Qiaer and Fangyuan respectively.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $600,532 from $1,102,668 for the same period last year. The increase is due to the increase in bank borrowings as a result of more requirements for working capital with the development of the Company.
Government grants for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by $153,598 from $323,037 for the same period last year. The decrease is due to the decrease in subsidies from the government.
Forgiveness of debt of $52,474 for the year ended December 31, 2005 represented amount due to Sunshine Group (previous shareholders of Fangyuan) not claimed on the completion of the acquisition of Fangyuan.
Gain from nonmonetary transaction of $125,097 for the year ended December 31, 2005 resulted from that the Company transferred equipment with an aggregate net book value of $514,133 for settling a liability to Sunshine Group of $639,230. No such transaction occurred for the same period this year.

Income Taxes
Income tax (expense) benefit was $(173,258) for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $(144,720) for the same period last year.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the corporation income tax rate is 33%. As a Company registered in Hainan, PRC, Aike is entitled a beneficial corporate income tax rate of 15% in accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC. Fangyuan enjoys a beneficial tax rate of 15% as it is registered in a national high-tech development zone. According to the relevant laws and regulations of PRC, the preferential tax rate of 15% is applied to companies established in the national high-tech development zone.
In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, from the time that a company has its first profitable tax year, a foreign investment company is exempt from corporate income tax for the first two years and is then entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. And the foreign investment company income tax rate is 26.4% in Hangzhou, PRC. Since Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd has been a foreign investment company since 2004, so we are entitled to a 50% tax reduction in 2006.
Net Income
For the year ended December 31, 2006, our net income decreased by $14,751 to $1,453,584 from $1,468,335 in the same period in 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash
Our cash balance increased by $1,576,484 to $7,693,300 as of September 30, 2007, as compared to $6,116,816 as of December 31, 2006. The increase was mainly attributable to cash in flow of financing activities and depreciation and amortization of $3,058,496 and $1,476,339, respectively, a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,566,175. The increase in cash flow was partially offset by cash out flow of investment activities of $7,940,071, an increase in inventories of $1,319,475, and a decrease in accounts payable of $885,626. The net cash flow was $1,576,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Our cash flow from operations amounted to $6,506,533 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $579,266 for the same period last year.
Our cash flow used in investing activities amounted to $7,940,071 of which $2,312,740 was issuance of notes receivable. The Company invested $2,578,149 in the deposit for long term investment, invested $1,924,724 in the purchases of plant and equipment and lent to employees $1,279,916.
The net cash used in financing activities amounted to $3,058,496 of which $23,290,420 was the proceeds from short-term debt.
At September 30, 2007, the Company had short-term debt of $29,405,234 of which $22,507,589 was short-term bank borrowings and the remaining $6,897,645 represented notes payable to unrelated parties. The interest for the short-term borrowings varied from 5.3625% to 8.541% per annum whereas the notes payable to unrelated parties is interest free. The Company believes that the cash generated from normal operation will be sufficient to pay off its liabilities as the short-term borrowings and commitments fall due.
Working Capital
Our working capital deficiency increased by $3,099,206
to $8,848,137 at September 30, 2007, as compared to $(5,748,931) at December 31, 2006. The increase in working capital deficiency at September 30, 2007 was mainly attributable to our increase in short term debt of $5,489,782 and customer deposits of $727,669 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,582,631 offset by the decrease in accounts payable and current portion of long-term debt of $885,627 and $2,385,964 and an increase in cash of $1,576,484, notes receivable of $1,403,648, due from employees of $1,279,915 and inventories of $1,319,475.
43
The Company currently generates its cash flow through operations and the Company believes that its cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months. Also, from time to time, the Company may require extra funding through financing activities and investments for expansion. Also, from time to time, the Company may come up with new expansion opportunities for which our management may consider seeking external funding and financing. However, as of September 30, 2007, the Company had no solid plan for additional capital through external funding and financing.

On December 23, 2004, Earjoy entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Best Nation Investment Co., Ltd. for the acquisition by Earjoy of 100% of all interests in Hangzhou Aida.
Hangzhou Aida is a fully integrated pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing, licensing, and distribution of pharmaceutical products primarily in Mainland China. Aida (including its subsidiaries) has a total of nine production lines for the manufacturing of antibiotics, cardiovascular and anti-tumor drugs in various forms, including injectable powder, injectable liquid, capsules, tablets and ointments. All of them have been certified according to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines issued by the State Food and Drug Administration of the Peoples Republic of China (SFDA). Hangzhou Aida sells its Category-A antibiotic(Etimicin)under the trademark “Aida” and “PanNuo” etc. All these products are prescription drugs that are sold mainly to the hospitals in Mainland China.
44
Hangzhou Aida’s strategy is to control all facets of its research and development efforts, including formulation development, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and manufacturing. In addition, Hangzhou Aida markets its own branded products directly to health care professionals through its Mainland China sales operations. A key element of Hangzhou Aidas business is the development, manufacture and sale of branded pharmaceutical products that incorporate Hangzhou Aidas expertise in research and development and exclusive relationships with raw material suppliers, which provide significant therapeutic advantages over existing competing formulations.
Hangzhou Aida will also work to develop synergistic marketing partnerships in China and around the world in areas such as technology licensing, clinical research, product development, in-licensing and out-licensing of products, co-development and co-marketing agreements.
The headquarters of Hangzhou Aida is located in Hangzhou specializes in the production of Etimicin powder.
Boda
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hangzhou Aida and engages itself in the research and development of new drugs.
Aike
was once a 50% owned subsidiary of Hangzhou Aida. In August 2006, Hangzhou Aida increased its position through an additional direct investment of $568,994 into Hainan Aike and making a $63,222 purchase of the interests held by a third-party institutional shareholder Merlin Green Canada Inc. Thereafter, Hainan Aike became a 60.61% owned subsidiary of the Company. Hangzhou Aida exercises significant influence over Aike by controlling over 60.61% of the voting rights and Aike owns 95% of Yangpu Aike Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Yangpu). Aike specializes in the production of transfusion type of Etimicin AiYi.
Fangyuan
is a 66% owned subsidiary of Hangzhou Aida. Fangyuan is sole supplier of the raw material of Etimicin and is also a major producer of the liquid type of Etimicin ChuangCheng.
Fangyuan is capable of producing all types of Etimicin namely, powder, liquid and transfusion and thus has achieved a significant influence in the industry. This is a significant and unique advantage.
Qiaer
was acquired on August 8, 2006, when we completed and closed the Share Purchase Agreements with Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd , Shanghai Handsome Biotech Co., Ltd and Zhongtuo Times Investment Co., Ltd. respectively. With these agreements, we acquired 77.5% of the outstanding shares of Shanghai Qiaer Bio-Technology Co., Ltd collectively.
Qiaer Bio-Tech was founded in 2001 and is located in the Zhangjiang Hi-tech development zone in Shanghai, China. The key product of Qiaer Bio-Tech is rh-Apo21, a pioneering potential biopharmaceutical therapy with genetic engineering techniques used for cancers. Qiaer Bio-Tech has applied for three patents from the Chinese government authority, one of which has been granted with the other two in process. The Phase I clinical trial of rh-Apo2l has been successfully completed and the Phase II clinical trial has been initiated.

Trauma and operations (before and after) preventive uses.
According to our market study, the Company believes that we have occupied more than 75% of the total market share of Etimicin in Mainland China. The Company is capable of producing a full series of Etimicin, namely, powder, transfusion and liquid. Emphasis will be placed on developing new products for the market.
Products Under Development
Major new products under developments by Aida include:
·
5-Deoxy-Fluorordine.
Aida has developed a new liquid for injection type of drug generated from 5-fluroruacil that has displayed better anticancer results and fewer side effects. This new product has been under clinical testing since 1998. Test results showed that it has only nominal side effects, a broad spectrum and is highly effective. The Company will supplement clinical trials according to the instruction from State Food and Drug Administration in the PRC.
·
Apoptotic Factor (rh-Apo2l).
Rh-Apo2l is being evaluated in a Phase II trial as a potential cancer therapeutic. The Phase I clinical trials were completed at the end of June, 2006 and the Phase II started in February of 2007. Shanghai Qiaer Bio-Technology, which is acquired by Hangzhou Aida, has applied for three patents from the Chinese government authority. One patent has been granted and the other two are currently in process. We plan to complete the second and third stage clinical trials in the second half of 2007 and get production approval in the first half of 2008 if we can get such approval from SFDA as expected.
·
Vasostatin Apo2L
is a recombinant fusion protein as a potential cancer drug which is being under preclinical research by Qiaer. It integrates the function of extracted fragment of Vasostatin, an inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth, with the function of Rh-Apo2l which induces the apoptosis of cancer cells. The scientists of the Company believe the integration may show better efficacy in cancer treatment.
·
Methylcanthatidinimide for Injection.
It is another new drug being developed by Fangyuan used for cancer treatment. It is supposed to be a Category B new drug. The clinical tests are expected to be completed by the first half of 2008 and the production is expected to begin by the end of 2009.
46
·
SYO2.
Hangzhou Aida has created one medicine extracted from herbal essence, called SYO2 that has exhibited bioactivity for brain anti-thrombosis. The drug, developed solely by an aligned research center of Hangzhou Aida, has shown to be safe, effective and without side effects. The Company believed that stroke patients treated by SYO2 would be significantly recovered after administration of the drug. Aida has completed SYO2s pharmacological study and has applied for a patent. The Company plans to apply for clinical tests within the next 12 months. Hangzhou Aida intends to apply for production approval by the end of 2010.
·
Prodigiosin to Treat Pancreatic Cancer.
Prodigiosin, a naturally occurring red pigment, is currently in pre-clinical trials for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Aida Pharmaceuticals is developing a method to utilize the biochemical properties of Prodigiosin to create a non-invasive treatment for pancreatic cancer. It is now under preclinical research.
·
Anti-CD86 Monoclonal Antibody to Treat Immunity Diseases
.
Certain immunity diseases activate T-cells (a type of white blood cell), causing them to unnecessarily attack healthy tissue. Aidas goal in developing the Anti-CD86 Monoclonal Antibody is to inhibit T-cells from harming healthy tissue. It is now under preclinical research.
·
Anti-CTLA-4 Monoclonal Antibody to Inhibit Tumor Growth.
In the case of certain cancers, tumors over-express self-proteins, essentially hiding the tumor from the immune system. Aida Pharmaceuticals is in the development stages of Anti-CTLA-4 Monoclonal Antibody which may relieve the inhibition of T-cells allowing them to identify the over-expressed proteins and in turn naturally attack cancer cells without harming healthy tissues. It is now under preclinical research.
Aida is optimistic about the market potential of its products for the following reasons:
·
The demand for international quality drugs by the Chinese populace has historically increased as per capita income and the standard of living increase;
·
The sale of Etimicin sulfate is estimated to keep growing for the next three years after several years of market development;
·
Aida is now planning to build up international business relationship with global players gradually in future. The international markets should increase the sales growth;
·
Aida has achieved a monopoly status in this industry, with all types of Etimicin products and from the material chain to the final product chain. This is a significant and unique advantage of Aida;
·
The Company is preparing for the production of several new drugs especially the commercialization of Shanghai Qiaer Bio-Technologys Rh-Apo2l within two years, which should boost the sales growth of Aida per annum.
Industry Regulation
Chinese drug legislation, enacted in 1985, requires that new drugs be approved by the national drug regulatory authority before they can be marketed in China. Since enactment of this legislation, China has significantly improved its regulatory review process for new drugs. During the same time period, the pharmaceutical industry in China has shown considerable expansion. With Chinas membership in the World Trade Organization, the Chinese pharmaceutical industry is experiencing change and will continue to do so. The new Drug Registration Regulation, which is compatible with the World Trade Organization agreement, went into effect on December 1, 2002.
47
Regulatory authorities
In the PRC, the State Food and Drug Administration, or the SFDA, is the authority that monitors and supervises the administration of pharmaceutical products and medical appliances and equipment as well as food, health food and cosmetics. The SFDAs predecessor, the State Drug Administration, or the SDA, was established on August 19, 1998 as an organization under the State Council to assume the responsibilities previously handled by the Ministry of Health of the PRC, or the MOH, the State Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of the PRC and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the PRC. The SFDA was founded in March 2003 to replace the SDA.
The MOH is an authority at the ministerial level under the State Council and is primarily responsible for national public health. Following the establishment of the SFDA in 2003, the MOH was put in charge of the overall administration of the national health in the PRC excluding the pharmaceutical industry. The MOH performs a variety of tasks in relation to the health industry such as establishing social medical institutes and producing professional codes of ethics for public medical personnel. The MOH is also responsible for overseas affairs, such as dealings with overseas companies and governments.
Drug administration laws and regulations
The PRC Drug Administration Law as promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress in 1984 and the Implementing Measures of the PRC Drug Administration Law as promulgated by the MOH in 1989 have laid down the legal framework for the establishment of pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises, pharmaceutical trading enterprises and for the administration of pharmaceutical products including the development and manufacturing of new drugs and medicinal preparations by medical institutions. The PRC Drug Administration Law also regulates the packaging, trademarks and the advertisements of pharmaceutical products in the PRC.
Certain revisions to the PRC Drug Administration Law took effect on December 1, 2001. They were formulated to strengthen the supervision and administration of pharmaceutical products, and to ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products and the safety of pharmaceutical products for human use. The revised PRC Drug Administration Law applies to entities and individuals engaged in the development, production, trade, application, supervision and administration of pharmaceutical products. It regulates and prescribes a framework for the administration of pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmaceutical trading companies, medicinal preparations of medical institutions and the development, research, manufacturing, distribution, packaging, pricing and advertisements of pharmaceutical products.
The PRC Drug Administration Implementation Regulations promulgated by the State Council took effect on September 15, 2002 to provide detailed implementation regulations for the revised PRC Drug Administration Law.
48
Examination and approval of new medicines
In October 2002, the SFDA announced the Administrative Measures on the Registration of Pharmaceutical Products, which were later revised on February 28, 2005. Under the current applicable regulations, new medicines generally refer to those medicines that have not yet been marketed in the PRC. In addition, certain marketed medicines may also be treated as new medicines if the type or application method of such medicines has been changed or new therapeutic functions have been added to such medicines. According to the Administrative Measures on the Registration of Pharmaceutical Products, the approval of new medicines requires the following steps:
·
Upon completion of the pre-clinical research of the new medicine, application for registration of the new medicine shall be submitted to the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level for review. After completion of its review the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level shall submit their opinion and report to the SFDA for review;
·
if all the requirements are complied with, the SFDA will issue a notice of acceptance of application and proceed with its assessment on whether or not to grant the approval for conducting the clinical research on the new medicine;
·
after obtaining the SFDAs approval for conducting the clinical research, the applicant may proceed with the relevant clinical research (which is generally conducted in three phases for a new medicine under the Medicine Registration Measures) at institutions with appropriate qualification:
--- Phase I refers to the preliminary clinical trial for clinical pharmacology and body safety. It is conducted to observe the human body tolerance for new medicine and pharmacokinetics, so as to provide a basis for determining the prescription plan.
--- Phase II refers to the stage of preliminary evolution of clinical effectiveness. The purpose is to preliminarily evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of the medicine used on patients with targeted indication, as well as to provide a basis for determining the Phase III clinical trial research plan and the volume under the prescription plan.
--- Phase III is a clinical trial stage to verify the clinical effectiveness. The purpose is to test and determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of the medicine used on patients with targeted indication, to evaluate the benefits and risks thereof, and, eventually, to provide sufficient basis for review of the medicine registration application
·
after completion of the relevant clinical research, the applicant shall submit its clinical research report together with the relevant supporting documents to the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level and shall provide raw materials of the standard products to the PRC National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products;
·
the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level shall then review the relevant documents, conduct site inspections and sample examinations and thereafter submit their opinion, inspection report and other application materials to the SFDA for review;
·
the PRC National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products will arrange for the examination of the sample new drug supplied by the relevant medicine examination institutes and will then issue the examination result report to the SFDA; and
·
if all the regulatory requirements are satisfied, the SFDA will grant a new drug certificate and a pharmaceutical approval number (assuming the applicant has a valid Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit and the requisite production conditions for the new medicine have been met).
49
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
GMP guidelines define standards for the pharmaceutical manufacturing process to reduce the possibility of contamination errors.
The World Health Organization (WHO) initiated the GMP system in the 1960s, and China adopted it in the early 1980s. The Chinese government issued its own GMP standards in 1988, followed by two sets of revisions, the most recent in 1999. Under new GMP management guidelines, pharmaceutical producers must set up special administrative offices to supervise production and product quality. Administrative personnel must be pharmaceutical professions with prior experience, and technicians responsible for quality testing must receive professional training.
State Food and Drug Administration issued the Quality Control Convention in Drug Production in September 1999. This convention provides guidelines for various kinds of drug manufacture in keeping with GMP standards. It states provisions concerning drug verification and authentication, including facility and equipment installation, operation, property and products. GMP certification for powder injections, large capacity injections and genetically engineered products were completed in 2000.
Difficulty in GMP enforcement has allowed inefficient production and substandard quality to persist in the majority of pharmaceutical factories, despite the governments regulations. Fund shortages, rigid operation mechanisms and ideological resistance among some producers have contributed to the continuing problem, although local governments are working to initiate change. In Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province and the location of Aidas headquarters, the municipal Drug Supervision and Management Bureau have aided 18 of the citys 77 pharmaceutical manufacturers to reach GMP standards.
A shortage of qualified personnel in Chinas pharmaceutical enterprises further delays national GMP implementation. Substandard companies find a lack of senior managers who are aware of GMP, as well as difficulty in finding well-trained GMP inspectors that are able to give a fair, objective and accurate appraisal of GMP results. Augmenting the problem, companies have discovered some ambiguity in their interpretations of GMP standards issued by the Chinese Ministry of Public Health. The government has undertaken the process of educating these companies, leading to a slight rise in production and quality control levels.
Research & Development
Aida will undertake its R&D efforts through in-house organizations as well as through alliances and cooperation with other R&D laboratories, institutions and universities. Such an approach would ensure lower cost, minimized risk, increased efficiency, and faster reaction to the market. Aida will also retain a high degree of capability in developing new drugs and technologies. Aida presently has three R&D centers located in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. These R&D centers are staffed with a total of over thirty research engineers, scientists and eight senior consultants. These professionals have well-rounded experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including manufacturing and R&D specializations.
Aida has also established long-term cooperation with several top research institutions and universities in China, including Tianjin University, China Pharmaceutical University and Fudan University, for the development of new pharmaceuticals. Aida has entered into agreements with these universities and institutions that grant it the right of first refusal to acquire new products developed at the facilities. Generally, Aidas policy is to make the acquisition when the new drug is entering the third stage of clinical testing. As such, it allows the Company to minimize risk as well as to decrease development costs while increasing efficiency.
We spent $169,951 during the first six months of 2007 on research and development. This expenditure represents the cost incurred for the clinical trials for RH-Apo21 by Qiaer.
50
Manufacturing
Aidas main production facilities are located in three places. One is in Hangzhou in the Zhejiang Province, the second is in Changzhou in the Jiangsu Province and the third is in Haikou in the Hainan Province.
The raw materials and supplies for manufacturing at the plant are from domestic suppliers. The main purchases include: packaging materials, chemicals and intermediates, some of which are controlled under long-term contracts. Aida has never experienced any difficulty in obtaining the raw materials base and/or supplies required for production. There are many domestic suppliers for the required materials except the raw materials base for Etimicin sulfate.
There are only two suppliers for etimicin sulfate base, namely, Changzhou Fangyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province and Shanhe Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Shanhe) in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Aida acquired control of Fangyuan so it is confident that the raw material supply base required for producing etimicin sulfate is ensured.
All of Aidas nine production lines for manufacturing have obtained GMP accreditation from State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA). The Quality Assurance Department of Aida has instituted a complete quality assurance system under which employees of the Company are continuously trained and re-trained for maintaining overall GMP standards as well as product quality excellence. Aida has never experienced any significant return of purchased products and has gained consistent customer praise.
In the area of cost control, Aida has implemented policies and procedures to monitor:
a)
adequacy of raw materials, supplies and packaging materials;
b)
efficiency each individual production process; and
c)
physical conditions of equipment, parts and consumables.
Cost targets are established and executed based on these policies and procedures.

Labor Agreement Regulation of Peoples Republic of China

Competition
Price, quality, and promotion are the three most competitive factors in the pharmaceutical sector in China.
·
Price:
There are currently approximately 1,400 drugs listed on the National Essential Drugs List. This list functions as a guideline for the local, provincial, and metropolitan lists, which govern actual reimbursement. Technically, these local lists can only deviate from the national list by 10%. Marketing outside of these lists, price will effectively determine the targeted market segment
·
Quality:
Western medications are often seen as superior in almost all categories. Aidas product, Etimicin competes in this market segment with the former generation of aminoglycocide antibiotics Netimincin. But being the new generation in the family, Aida believes in its superiority and low toxicity compared with others.
·
Promotion:
The Chinese government has worked very hard to rein in unethical marketing practices in the healthcare sector. The Company has been marketing its products successfully through its sales network and legal promotion means
Recent Developments
On July 28, the Board of Directors of Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, held a meeting and unanimously approved the following actions:
·
To find a new ample place with larger size for the construction of new GMP certified manufacturing facility of Rh-Apo2l and capacity expansion of current products; the Board is required to ensure that that the action will have no negative effects over the ongoing business of Hangzhou Aida.
·
To transfer the current land and housing where Hangzhou Aida is now located on the basis of fair market value to cash for the new construction
Our Market/Distribution Methods of our Service
The Sales Team
Aida has now over 150 salespeople spread throughout China dedicated to marketing its products. 30% of the team members are graduates of medical or pharmaceutical schools and over 50% have over three years of sales experience. The team is under the supervision of one highly experienced vice president, with over nine years of experience in national sales management. Additionally, Aida schedules frequent and regular training sessions for sales personnel to retain and increase their knowledge of Aidas products as well as to improve selling techniques.
Marketing Organization and Sales Network
For the marketing of drugs, Aida emphasizes its effort on the prescription drug market. Presently in China, a drug manufacturer must sell through the local pharmaceutical wholesaler instead of directly to the hospitals. At the same time, the manufacturers would have to promote their products to doctors through hospital representatives. Aida recognizes its revenue on the delivery of drugs to the wholesalers. Aidas major products, including etimicin sulfate, are listed in the Drug Catalog for Basic National Medical Insurance and are recognized by the medical insurance system.
52
Aida divides the domestic market into two large regions, namely, Northern Region and Southern Region using by Yangtze River as the demarcation. Special emphasis is given to markets in Eastern China and the Coastal Regions, as those areas are the most affluent areas in China. To augment the sales force, Aida also engages local agents wherever required and necessary. The Company has established selling and marketing offices in over twenty provinces, autonomous regions, and the four municipalities under the central government, and has representatives for establishing and maintaining relations with local hospitals and wholesalers. Currently, the Company has established close relations with over 200 wholesalers. Through this deep national network, Aidas drugs are being sold to several hundred county, city and provincial hospitals.
Sales and Marketing Management
The Company maintains an English-Chinese website,
www.aidapharma.com
, for introducing its products as well as placing purchases online.
Aida keeps frequent academic communications with hospitals and specialists. Aida also organizes seminars for hospitals and wholesaler personnel and deploys Aida regional representatives to convey the application of various drugs to medical health care providers as well as report any drug safety issues back to the home offices. The Company publishes studies related to its products and research results in medical journals. Industrial shows and exhibitions are also useful means for the Company to learn more market and competitive information and explore the Companys influence and visibility.
In order to strengthen and motivate its sales personnel, Aida instituted an annual incentive and review system.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Principal Office
Our headquarters are currently located in approximately 17,330 square meters of office space at 31 Dingjiang Road, Jianggan District, Hangzhou, China.
Existing Production Facilities and Proposed Expansion
Currently, we own 3 plants and have obtained a prepaid land use right to acquire a long-term interest to utilize the land underlying the plants. Our production facilities are described as follows:
1.
Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Constructed according to national Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, this plant occupies an area of approximately 17,330 square meters and has an annual production capacity of approximately 15 million powder doses, 150 million capsules and 200 million tablets.
53
2.
Changzhou Fangyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Constructed according to national Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, this plant occupies an area of approximately 80,000 square meters and has an annual production capacity of approximately 7.5 million liquid doses and 3200 kilograms of Etimicin base.
3.
Hainan Aike Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd
. Constructed according to national Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, this plant occupies an area of approximately 3,900 square meters and has an annual production capacity of approximately 12 million bottles of transfusion preparations.
We believe that the general physical condition of our plants and production facilities can completely satisfy our current production needs in terms of quantity and production quality for the immediate future; however, we also recognize that we must provide for needs of rapidly growing business development and therefore, on July 28, 2007 the Board of Directors of Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, held a meeting and unanimously approved the following actions:
·
To find a new ample place with larger size for the construction of new GMP certified manufacturing facility of Rh-Apo2l and capacity expansion of current products.
·
To transfer the current land and housing where Hangzhou Aida is now located on the basis of fair market value to cash for the new construction.
In connection with this effort, we intend to utilize $4,000,000 from the proceeds of the maximum offering for construction of a GMP manufacturing facility for new drug Rh-Apo2l.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Other than what is mentioned below, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of our properties that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities incurred in the future, they will be accrued based on managements best estimate of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this time. Furthermore, Management of the Company does not believe that there are any proceedings to which any director, officer, or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.
In 2006, we brought a legal action against Jiangxi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hainan Licheng Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. for their infringement upon the patent of Etimicin transfusion. As the plaintiff, we claimed compensation of approximately $38,590 for the infringement. According to the judges report from the local court in Haikou, PRC, on December 30, 2006, we won the lawsuit and Hainan Haomai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Fuzhou Likang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. will be required to pay us $38,590 as compensation. However, Jiangxi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hainan Licheng Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. appealed the ruling to a higher level court and we have not received the payment as of September 30, 2007.
In December of 2005, we sued Hainan Haomai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Fuzhou Likang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. for their infringement upon the patent of Etimicin transfusion. As the plaintiff, we claimed compensation of approximately $38,590 for the infringement. According to the judges report from the local court in Haikou, PRC, on January 18, 2007, we won the lawsuit and Hainan Haomai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Fuzhou Likang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. will pay $38,590 as compensation for the infringement. However, Hainan Haomai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Fuzhou Likang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. appealed the ruling to a higher level court and we have not received the payment as of September 30, 2007.
54
In January 2007, we were sued by Jiangying Xinqiao Construction Co., Ltd. for an overdue construction payment of $243,318. We believe the claim is without merit and plan to vigorously contend the claim. The local judge held court in April, 2007, but has not issued the judges report.

At the present time there are no outstanding options, warrants or conversion privileges for any or our existing or proposed securities except for the conversion privileges held by a non-related party under a convertible note.
Changes in Control
To the best of our knowledge, there are no contractual arrangements or pledges of our securities, which may at a subsequent date result in a change of our control.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our authorized capital stock consists of 76,000,000 shares of stock: 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, at $0.001 par value. We are offering 1,200,000 units under this Prospectus. We are not offering any preferred shares.
Units
Each unit offered hereby consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable class A warrant and one redeemable class B warrant. The common stock will be immediately, separately transferable after the initial closing of this offering.
Common stock
We have 27,000,000 shares of our common stock currently issued and outstanding. All common shares have equal voting rights and are not assessable. Voting rights are not cumulative. The holders of more than 50% of the voting stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of AIDA and after the payment of liabilities and satisfaction of all claims our assets will be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock. The holders of the common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities and they have no right to require us to redeem or purchase their shares.
60
Holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose after payment of any dividends to the holders of our preferred stock. There are no preferred shares currently issued. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and it is unlikely that any such dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future.
Warrants
Each redeemable class A warrant and redeemable class B warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock from us at a price of $3.00 and $3.50 per share, respectively, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, The class A warrants are exercisable for a period of one year from the date hereof and the class B warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date hereof.
We may redeem the class A warrants and class B warrants at a redemption price of $0.10 per class A warrant, upon at least 30 days' prior written notice, commencing on ________, 2008 (six months after the date hereof), if the average of the closing high bid prices of the common stock exceeds $3.00 or $3.50, respectively, for five consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, and provided that a current prospectus relating to the underlying securities is then in effect. All of the redeemable class A warrants or redeemable class B warrants, as the case may be, must be redeemed if any are redeemed. We will redeem the warrants if we are in need of additional capital at a time when the common stock is trading above of $3.00 or $3.50, respectively, and we believe that other sources of capital are less advantageous.
The exercise prices and number of shares of common stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price to the warrant agent for the number of warrants being exercised. Holders of the warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock.
In order to comply with applicable laws in connection with the exercise of the warrants and the resale of the common stock issued upon such exercise, the warrants will be exercisable only if:
·
at the time of exercise, we have an effective and current registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise upon such warrant; and
·
such shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of such warrant.
We will use our best efforts to have all shares so registered or qualified on or before any exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the warrants, subject to the terms of the warrant agreement. While it is our intention to do so, there is no assurance that it will be able to comply. We therefore will be required to file post-effective amendments to this registration statement when subsequent events require such amendments in order to continue the registration of the common stock underlying the warrants and to take appropriate action under state laws. During any period in which we fail to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement, the warrant holders will not be able to exercise their warrants.
61
Preferred stock
We have no outstanding preferred shares and we have not established any series or class of preferred shares. Our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors has the authority to designate the rights and preferences of our preferred shares in one or more classes or series and with respect to each such class or series to fix and determine the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
Change in Control Provisions
There are no provisions in our charter or bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty for any act or omission unless such acts or omissions involve intentional misconduct, fraud, knowing violation of law, or payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any and all of our present or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at our request as director or officer of another corporation in which we own stock or of which we are a creditor, for expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, except where such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of duty. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
To the extent that indemnification may be available to our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilitiesother than our paying expenses incurred by one of our directors or officers in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedingis asserted by one of our directors or officers in connection with the securities being registered in this offering, 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 indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SELLING SHAREHOLDER
On behalf of the selling shareholder we are seeking to register 1,300,000 shares in this offering. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of those shares being sold by the selling security holder. 1,300,000 of these shares have already been issued to the selling security holder in private placement transactions that were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. An additional 1,200,000 new units (consisting of 1,200,000 shares of common stock, 1,200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Class A Warrants and 1,200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Class B warrants) are being offered by AIDA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The selling security holder may sell their shares in sales in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We will receive proceeds of up to $2,640,000 from the sale of the 1,200,000 units being offered by AIDA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the selling stockholder's shares will be borne by us. All brokerage commissions, if any, attributable to the sale of shares by selling stockholder will be borne by selling stockholder.
62
The following table sets forth the number of shares that the selling security holder may offer for sale from time to time. The shares offered for sale constitute all of the shares known to us to be beneficially owned by the selling security holder. The selling security holder has held any position or office with us, except as specified in the following table. Other than the relationships described below, the selling security holder had or has any material relationship with us.
An aggregate of 1,300,000 shares of common stock may be offered for resale by the selling shareholder, Panasia Strategy Investment Co., Ltd., (Panasia) which equals approximately 4.81% of our outstanding shares. Panasia owns an aggregate of 4,475,000 of our shares or 16.57% and is therefore considered and affiliate; Panasia is controlled by Qiong Zhang, one of our directors (50%) and, accordingly, Ms.Qiong Zhang indirectly owns 2,237,500 shares through her 50% ownership of Panasia since she is deemed to have and/or share the power to direct the voting and disposition of such shares. Panasia acquired its shares and its affiliate status as part of the acquisition transaction between AIDA and Earjoy and the Earjoy shareholders.

The 1,300,000 Shares Offered by Selling Shareholder
We are registering 1,300,000 shares of common stock on behalf of the selling shareholder, Panasia. As used in this prospectus, the term Selling Shareholder includes pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from a Selling Shareholder as pledgors, assignees, borrowers or in connection with other non-sale-related transfers after the date of this prospectus. This prospectus may also be used by transferees of Panasia, including broker-dealers or other transferees who borrow or purchase the shares to settle or close out short sales of shares of common stock. We will not receive any of the proceeds of sales by Panasia.
Panasia 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 quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. Panasia will act independently from us in making decisions with respect to the manner, timing, price and size of each sale. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
64
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·
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;
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·
a combination of any such methods of sale;
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
Panasia may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, Panasia may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Panasia may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. Panasia may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us, incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify Panasia against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Panasia has advised us that they has not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling security holder.
65
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of its shares of the common stock. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered by this prospectus.
Because the Selling Shareholder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
Penny Stock Regulation
Our common stock is subject to Securities and Exchange Commission rules regulating broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
|
|
·
|
a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the customers rights and remedies with respect to violation of such duties;
|
|
|
·
|
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
|
|
·
|
a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
|
|
·
|
definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
|
|
·
|
such other information in such formincluding language, type, size and formatas the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
|
Before effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must also provide the customer the following:
|
|
|
|
·
|
the bid and ask quotations for the penny stock;
|
|
|
·
|
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
|
|
·
|
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
|
|
|
·
|
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
|
66
In addition, the penny stock rules require that before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Aida Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aida Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Formerly BAS Consulting, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Aida Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Formerly BAS Consulting, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) which requires companies to estimate fair value of share-based payment accruals on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c)
Economic and Political Risks (continued)
The Companys operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Companys results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(d)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, due to/from related parties, other receivables, due from/to employees, prepayments for goods, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term debt, taxes payable and customer deposits. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Companys long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to the company for debt of similar terms and maturities. Under this method, the Companys fair value of long-term debt was not significantly different from the carrying value at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
(f)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains no bank account in the United States of America.
Restricted cash at December 31, 2006 and 2005 represents time deposits on account to secure notes payable. Also see Note 11.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal.
(h)
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.

Also see Note 10.
(l)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Land Use Rights
According to the laws of China, land in the PRC is owned by the Government and cannot be sold to an individual or company. However, the government grants the user a land use right to use the land. The land use right granted to the Company is being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.
(p)
Patents
Patents are comprised of the purchased cost of production licenses for new medicines. Patents are amortized over their beneficial periods of 2 to 17 years, using the straight-line method.
(q)
Impairment of Long-Term Assets
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in SFAS No. 144. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There were no impairments in 2006 and 2005.
(r)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the goods are shipped to customers and when all of the following criteria are met:
-Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
-Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
-The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
-Collectibility is reasonably assured.
For fixed-priced refundable contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a completion basis. Progress payments received/receivable are recognized as revenue only if the specified criteria are achieved, accepted by the customer, confirmed not refundable and continued performance of future research and development services related to the criteria are not required.

(aa) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Companys current components of comprehensive income are the foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized gains on marketable securities.
(bb) Segments
The Company operates in one business segment, the development, production and distribution of pharmaceutical products.
(cc) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for 2006 and 2005.
(dd) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 presents a two-step process for evaluating a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The seco
nd step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizing that amount in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements". SAB No. 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and an income statement (rollover) approach then evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the bulletin during 2006. The adoption did not have a material effect on results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

INCOME TAXES
(a) Corporation Income Tax (CIT)
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the corporation income tax (CIT) rate is 33%. In 2006, HAPC applied to the local tax authority for a favorable corporate income tax rate of 26.4% for companies registered in coastal economic zone of PRC, which was approved in October 2006. As a result, the corporate income tax rate applicable to HAPC was changed to 26.4% from 33%. Hainan and Yangpu are subsidiaries registered in Hainan, PRC, and their corporate income tax rate of 15% is the tax rate for companies registered in Hainan, PRC in accordance with the relevant tax laws in PRC. Fangyuan is a subsidiary of HAPC and its applicable corporate income tax rate is 15%, since the company was recognized as high-tech companies by the PRC government. However, in accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, from the time that a company has its first profitable tax year, a foreign investment company is exempt from corporate income tax for its first two years and is then entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. For Hangzhou and Hainan, the first profitable year for income tax purposes as a foreign investment company was 2004. Income tax expense for the 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows:
