EXPLANATORY NOTE
China Biologic Products, Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Amendment") to restate its consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2010 (the "the Original Filing"). This Amendment is being filed to amend the recognition of fair value of the callable feature for the warrants issued in 2006 and recognition of deferred tax liabilities in connection with business combination of Guiyang Dalin Biologic Technologies Co., Ltd. (Dalin).
Recognition of fair value of the callable feature for the warrants issued in 2006
In 2006, the Company issued 1,070,000 warrants (the 2006 Warrants) to certain accredited investors. According to the terms of the 2006 Warrants, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to require the 2006 Warrants holders to exercise up to the entire unexercised portion of the 2006 Warrants (Callable Feature). The Company inadvertently omitted the fair value of the Callable Features embedded in the 2006 Warrants when reclassifying the fair value of 2006 Warrants from equity to derivative liabilities as of January 1, 2009 in adopting EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock (FASB ASC 815-40-15-5) (EITF 07-05). As a result, the retained earnings and additional paid-in capital should have been increased by $535,615 and $138,160, respectively, and the derivative liabilities should have been decreased by $673,775 as of January 1, 2009. The retained earnings and additional paid-in capital should have been increased by $1,246,476 and decreased by $1,246,476, respectively, as of September 30, 2010.
Recognition of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the business combination of Dalin
In connection with the business combination of Dalin in 2009, the Company misinterpreted US GAAP regarding the accounting for the business combination. As a result, the Company did not recognize deferred tax liabilities for differences between the assigned values and the tax bases of the intangible assets and certain property, plant and equipment acquired in the business combination as in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of January 1, 2009, deferred tax liabilities of $4,749,099 should have been recognized with a corresponding increase in goodwill of $4,749,099. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company also should have recorded deferred tax benefit representing the tax effect of the amortization of intangible assets and the depreciation of property, plant and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a result, the goodwill, deferred tax liabilities, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and noncontrolling interest should have been increased by $4,872,790, $3,980,174, $407,228, $7,989 and $477,399, respectively, as of September 30, 2010. The net income, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and other comprehensive income of the Company should have been increased by $126,001, $67,389 and $13,783, respectively, for three months ended September 30, 2010 and $375,906, $201,046 and $16,866, respectively, for nine months ended September 30, 2010.
For the purposes of the Amendment, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each item of the Original Filing that was affected by the restatement has been amended and restated in its entirety. Unless otherwise indicated, this report speaks only as of the date that the Original Filing was filed. No attempt has been made in this Amendment to update other disclosures presented in the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures, including the exhibits to the Original Filing affected by subsequent events, except that this Amendment includes as exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 new certifications by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Rule 12b-15.

All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
While management has included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of the operating results for the periods presented, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Note 3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, management estimates the fair value of stock based compensation, potential losses on outstanding receivables and slow-moving inventories, impairment loss of long-lived assets, allocation of plasma production cost, as well as bonus accruals for year end management bonus. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Companys functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB), also the local currency of the Companys principal operating subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the Peoples Bank of China at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) accounting standard, cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.
The consolidated balance sheet amounts, with the exception of equity, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were translated at RMB 6.68 to $1.00 and RMB 6.82 to $1.00, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were RMB 6.76 and RMB 6.82 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were RMB 6.80 and RMB 6.82 to $1.00, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable, which are generally considered to be met upon delivery and acceptance of products at the customer site. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers. As a policy, the Company does not accept any product returns and based on the Companys records, product returns, if any, are immaterial. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT).

Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASBs accounting standard related to fair value measurements and began recording financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurement at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. Receivables, payables, short and long term loans, and derivative liabilities qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values of the receivables, payables and short term loans approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization, and if applicable, their stated rates of interest are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The fair values of the long term debt and derivative liabilities are measured pursuant to the three levels defined by the FASBs accounting standard as follow:
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Note 3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
As required by FASBs accounting standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair value of the derivative liabilities were modeled using a series of techniques, including closed-form analytic formula, such as the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which does not entail material subjectivity because the methodology employed does not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets. Derivative liabilities related to warrants issued by the Company and the liability related to derivative instruments (including the conversion option) embedded in the Companys Senior Secured Convertible Notes are carried at fair value, with changes in the fair value charged or credited to income. The fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes Model or a binomial model, defined in FASBs accounting standard related to fair value measurements as level 2 inputs.

Concentration Risks
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC and are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States or may exceed Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board insured limits for the banks located in Hong Kong. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance.

The Company reviews its inventory periodically for possible obsolete goods and cost in excess of net realizable value to determine if any reserves are necessary. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company reserved $653,340 and $519,333, respectively, as allowance for obsolete inventory for raw material plasma that may not qualify for production due to the 90-day quarantine period rules implemented by PRC State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on July 1, 2008. With the implementation of the 90-day quarantine period rules, the Company experienced a longer staging period before it was able to put raw material plasma into production. As a result, as of September 30, 2010, the Company estimated that approximately $600,000 in qualified raw material plasma that may not be consumed within one year.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value.
Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Estimated Useful Life | ||
Buildings and improvement | 30 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 10 years | |
Furniture, fixtures ,office equipment and vehicle | 5-10 years |
Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings, new additions, and capitalized interest incurred in connection with the Companys plant facilities. In accordance with the provisions of FASBs accounting standard related to capitalization of interest, interest incurred on borrowings is capitalized to the extent that borrowings do not exceed construction in progress.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted to recognize the Companys proportionate share of the investees net income or losses and additional contributions made and distributions received. The Company recognizes a loss if it is determined that an other than temporary decline in the value of the investment exists. A subsidiary in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest is accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock between 20% and 50%, and other factors, such as representation on the Board of Directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. The Company accounts for investments in less than 20% of an entitys voting stock using the cost method.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost (estimated fair value upon contribution or acquisition), less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Intangible assets | Estimated useful lives | |
Land use rights | 39-50 years | |
Permits and licenses | 5-10 years | |
Blood donor network | 10 years | |
Software | 3.8 years | |
Good Manufacturing Practice certificate | 5-10 years | |
Long-term customer-relationship intangible assets | 4 years |
All land in the PRC is owned by the government, however, the government grants land use rights. The Company has obtained rights to use most parcels of land for 50 years, and several parcels of land are held by Qianfeng for 39 years. The Company amortizes the cost of the land use rights over their useful life using the straight-line method.
Other intangible assets represent permits, licenses, blood donor network, software, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate and long-term customer-relationship intangible assets. The Company amortized the cost of these intangible assets over their useful life using the straight-line method.
Intangible assets of the Company are reviewed at least annually or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the years of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of September 30, 2010, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable.

Income Taxes
The Company reports income taxes pursuant to FASBs accounting standard for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by this accounting standard, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. FASBs accounting standard for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
Value Added Tax
Enterprises or individuals, who sell products, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a VAT in accordance with Chinese laws. The VAT rate applicable to the Company is 6% of the gross sales price. Products distributed by Shandong Medical are subjected to a 17% VAT. No credit is available for VAT paid on purchases of raw material, and immaterial credit is applied for VAT paid on supplies purchased.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts and reports stock-based compensation pursuant to FASBs accounting standard related to accounting for stock-based compensation which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this standard as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
Noncontrolling Interest
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASBs accounting standard regarding noncontrolling interest in consolidated financial statements. Certain provisions of this statement are required to be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented.

Further, as a result of adoption this accounting standard, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is now excluded from the determination of consolidated net income.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect its adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. This Update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 20-10-17, Revenue RecognitionMilestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Adoption of ASU 2010-17 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amends Receivables (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entitys risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. ASU 2010-20 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-25, Plan AccountingDefined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962): Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans or ASU 2010-25. The ASU clarifies how loans to participants should be classified and measured by defined contribution plans and how IFRS compare to these provisions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or cash flows.
With the anticipation of two new products, human coagulation factor VIII and human prothrombin complex concentrate, in late 2010 or early 2011, the Company allocated a portion of the raw material costs as R&D expense in the first two quarters of 2010 prior to the approval of the two products. The same allocation method will be applied to the cost of those two products as soon as they are approved for commercial production. However, due to the SFDAs delay in approving the production licenses of these two products, the Company was not able to utilize all the raw material and was directed by Health Department of PRC to sell those raw materials to a third party fractionation company. As a result, the Company reclassified $905,485 and $680,619 of the allocated R&D expenses as Cost of Sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively, for the sales of the raw material.

Note 12 Convertible Notes (continued)
The Notes accrue interest at 3.8% per annum (the Interest Rate), from the closing until repayment, whether on maturity on June 5, 2011, by acceleration or otherwise. Interest on the Notes is due and payable in cash semi-annually on September 30 and March 31 of each year, commencing September 30, 2009, but the Company has the option to pay the interest due through the issuance of its common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share. If the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes when due, then upon the Investors election, the Company is obligated to either (a) redeem all or a portion of the Notes pursuant to the redemption rights discussed below or (b) pay interest on such defaulted amount at a rate equal to the Interest Rate plus 2.0%. The Notes are convertible at any time before maturity into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Notes.
The Companys obligations under the Notes are secured by a pledge by Siu Ling Chan, the Companys board chair and a principal shareholder, of 3,000,000 shares of common stock held by her, pursuant to the terms of a Guarantee and Pledge Agreement among the Company, the investors and Ms. Chan. To induce Ms. Chan to enter into the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement with the Investors, the Company agreed to indemnify her for all damages, liabilities, losses and expenses of any kind (losses), which may be sustained or suffered by her, arising out of or in connection with any enforcement action instituted by the Investors pursuant to the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. The Companys indemnification obligation is limited to losses that arise as the result of any negligent or unlawful conduct of the Company that is caused unilaterally by the Company and is beyond Ms. Chans control in her capacity as a director of the Company, and will not exceed the fair market value of the pledged shares as of the closing of the transaction.
The Warrants have a term of 3 years, an exercise price of $4.80 per share, subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrants, from time to time pursuant to anti-dilution and other customary provisions, and are exercisable by the Investors at any time after the date on which their related Notes are converted, except that if any of the Notes is converted in part, the Investors may only exercise a corresponding portion of the related Warrant.

The Company paid its placement agent a cash fee of 6.1% of the proceeds received in connection with the issuance of the Notes and also issued to the placement agent a 3-year warrant to purchase 93,750 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, expiring after 3 years. The aggregate $870,417 fees paid to the placement agent, including the fair value of the warrant issued to them was deferred and is being amortized over the life of the Notes.
Because the Notes and Warrants are denominated in U.S. Dollars but the Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi, in accordance with ASC 815-40-15-7I, the Warrants and the conversion option embedded in the Notes are not indexed only to the Company's common stock and therefore they do not meet the requirements of ASC 815-10-15-74. As a result, the embedded conversion option and the Warrants are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, at fair value.

Note 14 Taxes (Restated)
Income taxes
Commencing January 1, 2008, all of the Companys Chinese subsidiaries, except plasma companies, became subject to 25% income tax rate according to the newly issued Income Tax Laws of PRC. According to PRCs central government policy, certain new technology or high technology companies will enjoy preferential tax treatment of 15%, instead of 25%.
On February 12, 2009, Shandong Taibang received the new technology or high technology certification from the Shandong provincial government. This certification allows Shandong Taibang to receive the 15% preferential income tax rate, for a period of three years starting from January 1, 2008.
Qianfeng is currently enjoying the preferential income tax rate of 15% also under the 10-year Western Development Tax Concession, which started in January 2001 and ends in December 2010. The PRC tax authority is studying the possibility of extending the concession, especially for industries that encouraged by the PRC government, such the biopharmaceutical industry. In the event that PRC tax authorities discontinue the concession, Qianfeng will also apply for the new or high technology preferential tax treatment of 15%.

All of the Companys plasma companies are qualified as small scale taxpayers and are subject to a tax rate of 6% in 2010.
Commencing January 1, 2008, all dividends paid to foreign parents are subject to a 10% income tax. As a result, Logic Express recorded $ 1,835,583 and $374,073 income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for dividends Shandong Taibang distributed to its foreign parent, Logic Express.

(2) The other items represent $1.6 million of expense incurred by CBP, Logic Express and Logic Holding that are not deductible in the PRC, offset by $3.8 million in gains (not taxable) from fair value changes of derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The 15.0% represents the $13.2 million derivative mark-to-market expense and the $1.7 million in expenses incurred by CBP, Logic Express and Logic Holding that are not deductible in the PRC for the three months ended September 30, 2009, which caused a loss of $245,964 before provision for income taxes and noncontrolling interest. Therefore, we have incurred a zero effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to a loss before provision for income tax.
The other items represent $1.8 million of income tax expense for dividends that Shandong Taibang distributed to Logic Express, its foreign parent and $5.9 million of expense incurred by CBP, Logic Express and Logic Holding that are not deductible in PRC offset by $9.9 million gains (not taxable) from fair value changes of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The 17.4% represents the $14.9 million derivative mark-to-market expense and the $5.0 million in expenses incurred by CBP, Logic Express and Logic Holding that are not deductible in the PRC for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The estimated tax savings due to the tax exemption for the three months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $1,452,382 and $1,514,862, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 by $0.06 and $0.07, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 by $0.05 and $0.07, respectively. The estimated tax savings due to the tax exemption for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $5,722,159 and $4,506,389, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 by $0.24 and $0.21, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 by $0.22 and $0.21, respectively.

Deferred taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the future operation during the periods in which those temporary differences are utilized. Based upon an assessment of the historical operations and factors, the Company believes that it will be able to realize the deferred tax assets.
The Companys deferred taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences recorded as assets for financial reporting purposes and the comparable amounts recorded for income tax purpose. The deferred tax assets are measured using the enacted tax rates and law. Significant components of the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

CBP was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes for the period ended September 30, 2010. The estimated net operating loss carry forwards for United States income taxes amounted to $5,337,807 and $4,402,604 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, from 2026 through 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Companys limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit from CBP to reduce the asset to zero. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as warranted. The following table represents the rollforward of the deferred tax valuation allowance:

The Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $81 million as of September 30, 2010, which is included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings, nor is it practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would have to be provided if we concluded that such earnings will be remitted in the future.

Legal proceedings
Bobai County Collection Station
In January 2007, the Company's PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, advanced $413,697 (RMB3.0 million) to Feng Lin, the 20% minority shareholder in Fang Cheng Plasma Company, the Company's majority owned subsidiary, for the purpose of establishing or acquiring a plasma collection station. Mr. Lin and Shandong Taibang intended to establish the Bobai Kangan Plasma Collection Co., Ltd. (Bobai) in Bobai County, Guangxi and on January 18, 2007, Shandong Taibang signed a letter of intent to acquire the assets of the Bobai Plasma Collection Station, which was co-owned by Mr. Lin and Mr. Keliang Huang. However, in January 2007, Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. (Hua Lan) filed suit in the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, alleging that Feng Lin, Keliang Huang and Shandong Taibang established and/or sought to operate the Bobai Plasma Collection Station using a permit for collecting and supplying human plasma in Bobai County, that was originally granted to Hua Lan by the government of the Guangxi region, without Hua Lan's permission. The establishment and registration of Bobai was never realized as a result of this law suit. On January 29, 2007, on Hua Lan's motion, the District Court entered an order to freeze funds in the amount of approximately $386,100 (RMB3,000,000) held by the defendants in the case, including approximately $65,750 (RMB500,000) in funds held in Shandong Taibang's bank account in Tai'an City. A hearing was held on June 25, 2007 and judgment was entered against the defendants along with a $226,780 (RMB1,700,000) joint financial judgment. The Company appealed the District Court judgment to the Xinxiang City Intermediate Court. In November 2007, the Intermediate Court affirmed the judgment against the three defendants and increased the amount of the joint financial judgment to approximately $405,954 (RMB3,000,000).

Legal proceedings (continued)
In January 2008, Hua Lan enforced the judgment granted by the Intermediate Court to freeze the Company's bank accounts. Shandong Taibang has filed a separate action against Hua Lan before the Tai'an City District Court to seek recovery of any losses in connection with Hua Lan's claim and to request that the Tai'an City District Court preserve Hua Lan's property or freeze up to approximately $411,300 (RMB 3 million) of Hua Lan's assets to secure the return of such funds to the Company. The intermediate court in Tai'an City accepted the application on February 14, 2008 but the matter is still pending. Pending the outcome of the proceedings, Shandong Taibang increased its loss contingency reserve during its fourth quarter of 2007 from approximately $75,593 (RMB566,667) to $133,400 (RMB1,000,000) to cover its share of the enforcement of this judgment. During the fourth quarter of 2008, full amount of the judgment, including Feng Lin and Keliang Huang's portions of the judgment and the related fees, approximately $456,222 (RMB 3,109,900) has been withdrawn from Shandong Taibang's account. The Company recorded Feng Lin and Keliang Huang's portion of the judgment, approximately $304,143 (RMB2,073,234), as receivable as a result of the withdrawal. As of December 31, 2008, the Company determined that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to recover such receivable from those two individuals and wrote off the receivable as bad debt expense. In January 2010, Feng Lin transferred his 20% equity in Fang Cheng Plasma Company as a repayment to such receivable. As a result, the Company is now the 100% owner of the Fang Cheng Plasma Company.
In October 2009, Shandong Taibang appealed to the High Court of Henan Province requesting the court to reverse judgments from the Hong Qi District Court based on Shandong Taibang's belief that Hua Lans involvement in Bobai was in violation of PRC Blood Products Regulations as Hua Lan did not invest, as Shandong Taibang did, in Bobai as required by the Regulation. The Company was awaiting the judgment of the Henan High Court as of the date of this report. In light of the foregoing, it is unlikely that the Company's planned acquisition of the assets of Bobai will go forward.
Dispute among Qianfeng Shareholders over Raising Additional Capital
On May 28, 2007, a 91% majority of Qianfeng's shareholders approved a plan to raise additional capital from private strategic investors through the issuance of an additional 20,000,000 shares of Qianfeng equity interests at RMB 2.80 per share. The plan required all existing Qianfeng shareholders to waive their rights of first refusal to subscribe for the additional shares. The remaining 9% minority holder of Qianfeng's shares, the Guizhou Jie'an Company, or Jie'an, did not support the plan and did not agree to waive its right of first refusal. On May 29, 2007, the majority shareholders caused Qianfeng to sign an Equity Purchase Agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to invest an aggregate of RMB 50,960,000 (approximately $7,475,832) in exchange for 18,200,000 shares, or 21.4%, of Qianfeng's equity interests. At the same time, Jie'an also subscribed for 1,800,000 shares, representing its 9% pro rata share of the 20,000,000 shares being offered. The proceeds from all parties were received by Qianfeng in accordance with the agreement.

Legal proceedings (continued)
In June 2007, Jie'an brought suit in the High Court of Guizhou province, China, against Qianfeng and the three other original Qianfeng shareholders, alleging the illegality of the Equity Purchase Agreement. In its complaint, Jie'an alleged that it had a right to acquire the shares waived by the original Qianfeng shareholders and offered to the investors in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement. On September 12, 2008, the Guizhou High Court ruled against Jie'an and sustained the Equity Purchase Agreement, but on November 2008, Jie'an appealed the Guizhou High Court judgment to the People's Supreme Court in Beijing. On May 13, 2009, the People's Supreme Court sustained the original ruling and denied the rights of first refusal of Jie'an over the additional shares waived by the original Qianfeng's shareholders. The registration of the new investors as Qianfeng's shareholders and the related increase in registered capital of Qianfeng with the Administration for Industry and Commerce are still pending. On January 27, 2010, the strategic investors brought suit in the High Court of Guizhou Province against Qianfeng alleging Qianfengs failure to register their equity interest in Qianfeng with the local AIC and requesting the distribution of their share of Qianfengs dividends. Dalin was also joined as a co-defendant as it is the majority shareholder and exercises control over Qianfengs day-to-day operations. The Company does not expect the strategic investors to prevail because, upon evaluation of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company believes that the Equity Purchase Agreement is void due to certain invalid pre-conditions and the absence of shareholder authorization of the initial investment. In the event that Qianfeng is required to return their original investment amount to the strategic investors, as of September 30, 2010, Qianfeng has set aside the strategic investors fund along with RMB 9.35 million (approximately $1.4 million) in accrued interests, and RMB 519,600 (approximately $74,712) for the 1% penalty imposed by the agreement for any breach. If strategic investors prevail in their suit, Dalin's interests in Qianfeng may be reduced to approximately 41.3%. The High Court of Guizhou heard the case on April 8, 2010 and encouraged, and accepted by both parties, to settle the dispute outside the court but both parties failed to reach a mutual agreeable term.
On October 14, 2010, the High Court of Guizhou ruled in favor of the Company and denied the strategic investors right as shareholders of Qianfeng, as well as their entitlement to the dividends. On October 26, 2010, the strategic investors appealed to the PRC Superior Court in Beijing on the ruling and the Company is waiting to hear whether the Court will accept the appeal.
During the second quarter of 2010, Jiean requested that Qianfeng register its 1.8 million shares of additional capital infusion with the local AIC, pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, and such request was approved by the majority shareholders of Qianfeng in a shareholders meeting held in the second quarter of 2010. However, the Board of Directors of the Company is withholding its required ratification of the shareholders approval of Jieans request until the outcome of the ongoing litigations. If the Company decides to ratify the approval, Dalins ownership in Qianfeng will be diluted from 54% to 52.54% and Jiean may be entitled to receive its pro rata share of Qianfengs profits from the prior two years.

Administration Interference
Qianfeng is party to an administrative proceeding against the government of the Qiandongnan Autonomous Region, or the Qiandongnan Authorities, in Guizhou Province, China, in connection with the ownership of three of Qianfeng's entitled eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province. Qianfeng was authorized to acquire a total of eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province based on several national and provincial administrative authorizations issued by the PRC State Council and the Guizhou Ministry of Health between 2006 and 2007, but to date, the governmental authorizations have not been fully implemented by the Qiandongnan Authorities. In early 2007, Qianfeng submitted RMB 8,010,000 (approximately $1,173,465) to the local finance department of Sansui County, Qiandongnan, for acquiring the Sansui Plasma Collection Station (Sansui), but the local finance department refused to honor the purchase and returned the full consideration to Qianfeng. Furthermore, subsequent local rulings published by the Qiandongnan Authorities February 28, 2008 appear to authorize another private company to acquire the Sansui and two other stations, the Zhengyuan Plasma Collection Station and the Shibing Plasma Collection Station. In December 2008 Qianfeng filed an administrative review application with the People's Government of Guizhou Province, or the Guizhou Provincial Government, but the Guizhou Provincial Government has delayed making a final decision pending further review of regulations regarding administrative authorizations. Qianfeng has received verbal notification from staff in the Guizhou Provincial Government that the Qiandongnan Authorities have withdrawn the local rulings. As a result, Qianfeng has withdrawn its application with the Guizhou Provincial Government to facilitate further negotiation with Qiandongnan Authorities on its right to acquire all eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province. In addition, Qianfeng has set aside the funds necessary to purchase Sansui pending the outcome of the administrative review. There have been no further developments on this case as of the date of this report.
Qianfeng's Guarantee to a Third Party
In 2007, as a condition to purchase Huang Ping Plasma Station, Qianfeng entered into an agreement with Guizhou Zhongxin Investment Company, or Zhongxin, in which Qianfeng agreed to repay Zhongxin's debt out of Qianfeng's payables to Zhongxin arising from plasma purchased from Zhongxin. In the same agreement, Qianfeng also delivered a guarantee to the Huang Ping County Hospital,, the former co-owner of the Huang Ping Plasma Station, that it would pay RMB3,074,342 (approximately, $451,006) in debt that Zhongxin owed to the hospital. On June 1, 2009, Huang Ping Hospital brought suit, in the Huang Ping County People's Court of Guizhou Province, against Zhongxin for non-payment of its payables and debt due to Huang Ping Hospital and against Qianfeng as the guarantor. On November 2, 2009, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and Qianfeng as the guarantor became obligated to repay the Zhongxins debt to the Huang Ping Hospital on behalf of Zhongxin. In October 2009, Qianfeng appealed to the Middle Court of Kaili District in Guizhou Province which sustained the original judgment on April 8, 2010. . Under the Equity Transfer Agreement pursuant to which we acquired a 90% interest in Dalin, Qianfeng's majority shareholder, provides that the sellers will be responsible, based on their pro rata equity interest in Qianfeng, for damages incurred by Qianfeng from Zhongxin's debt and that they will repay Dalin their pro rata share of payments made by Qianfeng to creditors in connection with Zhongxin's debt within 10 days after payment by Qianfeng. The RMB 3,074,342 contingent liability and proportionate share of the liability to be recovered from the sellers were properly reflected in the financials as of December 31, 2009. On September 30, 2010, Qianfeng brought suit against Zhongxin in the Middle Court of Guiyang City, to recover the full judgment amount of RMB 3,074,342 plus court fee of RMB 32,340 that Qianfeng has already paid on behalf of Zhongxin.

On September 13, 2010, Zhongxin countersued the Company for a consideration of RMB 500,000 (approximately $74,850) for the alleged loss of its share of income from the Huang Ping Plasma Station since the Company acquired the station in April 2007. The Company believes Zhongxins claim is unwarranted since the Company acquired the station from its rightful owner, the Treasury Department of Huangpin County, Guizhou Province.
Qianfeng, Huang Ping Plasma Station Business Contract
On January 4, 2009, a supplier to the Huang Ping Plasma Stations predecessor, Shanghai Dahua Medical Equipment Company, sued the station and the Company in the Peoples Court of Huang Ping County, Guizhou for the repayment of an unpaid payable of RMB 885,650, and accrued interest of RMB 191,539, owed by the predecessor of the station. The Court accepted the case and ruled on June 20, 2010 in favor of the plaintiff and required the Company to assume the liabilities resulting connection with the Companys acquisition of the station. The Company has accrued the judgment amount and is in the process of appealing to the court.
Shandong Taibang Equity Interests
Mr. Zu Ying Du was one of the original equity holders in the Companys operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang. Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, among the original equity holders, Mr. Du was obligated to make a capital contribution of RMB 20 million (or approximately $2.6 million) for a 25% interest in Shandong Taibang. Mr. Du made this contribution using funds borrowed from the Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Company, or Beijing Chen Da. Mr. Du failed to repay Beijing Chen Da for his loan of the capital contribution amount. Mr. Du disputes that the money was due and owing. A Beijing court found that Beijing Chen Da had given money to Mr. Du but found that the loan agreement failed to comply with Chinese law. A notice was issued on July 5, 2004 by the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau Economic Crime Investigation Unit requesting a stay of the Beijing action pending their investigation into money laundering relating to the 20 million RMB loan to Zu Ying Du.
Subsequently, Beijing Chen Da entered into an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Du, pursuant to which Mr. Du's 25% equity interest in Shandong Taibang was transferred to Beijing Chen Da as repayment of the RMB 20 million debt. This agreement was signed by Mr. Du's brother who held a power of attorney from Mr. Du. Mr. Du disputes the legitimacy of this transfer and has argued that his brother, Du Hai Shan, exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Mr. Du sued his brother in the court of Jianli County, Hubei province, relating to the propriety of the brother's actions under the power of attorney. Initially the county court found in its judgment that the act had exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Subsequently the Intermediate Court of Jingzhou City, Hubei province, ruled on December 10, 2008 to suspend the judgment based on the grounds that the original court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The case is slated to be reviewed again by the Hubei Jingzhou Intermediate Court.
Missile Engineering, another original equity holder wholly controlled by Mr. Du, was obligated to contribute RMB 32.8 million (or $4.2 million) for a 41% interest in Shandong Taibang by means of cash, equipment and patent technology. It was obligated to obtain new drug certificate and production license of its patent technology from the government within a stipulated period in order to be recognized as a valid capital contribution, or in the alternative, make a cash payment. The patent technology was valued as RMB 26.4 million (or approximately $3.4 million). However, Missile Engineering failed to obtain the new drug certificate and production license within the stipulated period. Mr. Du also disputes whether the period for obtaining the certificate and license had expired. Pursuant to a stockholders resolution on September 26, 2004, Missile Engineering agreed to sell its 41% interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing and Up-Wing agreed to take up the obligation of Missile Engineering to pay the RMB 26.4 million in cash. Missile Engineering disputes this transaction and sued the brother of Mr. Du in the court of Jianli County, Hubei province, relating to the propriety of the brother's actions under the power of attorney. Initially the county court found in its judgment that the act had exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Subsequently the Intermediate Court of Jingzhou City, Hubei province, ruled on December 10, 2008 to suspend the judgment based on the grounds that the original court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The case is slated to be reviewed again by the Hubei Jingzhou Intermediate Court.

In June 10, 2005, Beijing Chen Da also sold its equity interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing Investments Limited, or Up-Wing, pursuant to a share transfer agreement, which became effective on September 2, 2005, upon approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC. In March 2006, Up-Wing sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Logic Express, the Companys subsidiary.
In 2006, Missile Engineering applied for arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer to Up-Wing Investments Limited, of the equity interests in Shandong Taibang formerly owned by Missile Engineering. The equity transfer had been approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC. Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew this application and instead applied for administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer, but this application was rejected by the Ministry of Commerce in 2007. Missile Engineering applied with the District Court of Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong province requesting revocation of Shandong COFTEC's approval of the equity transfer to Up-wing by Missile Engineering. Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew the action. In April 2007, Logic Express initiated an arbitration proceeding before the Shandong Tai'an Arbitration Committee, to establish that Logic Express is the lawful shareholder of Shandong Taibang. The parties to that proceeding were Logic Express Ltd. and Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co., Ltd. The Arbitration Committee's decision on September 6, 2007 confirmed that Logic Express had legitimate ownership as a result of the transfer of Shandong Taibang. Up-Wing started an action in the Intermediate Court of Tai'an City, Shandong province requesting the court to establish that Up-Wing is the lawful shareholder of Shandong Taibang. The Intermediate Court of Tai'an City, Shandong province on December 20, 2007 rejected the application on the basis that the same matter had been tried by the arbitration panel.
Up-Wing filed a defamation case in the District Court of Hi-technology and Industry Development District, Tai'an City, Shandong province claiming defamation against Mr. Du and the 21st Century Economic Report Newspaper. Judgment in favor of Up-Wing was rendered on July 22, 2008 ordering the newspaper and Mr. Du to publish an apology to Up-Wing.
Mr. Du and Missile Engineering subsequently filed two actions in the Intermediate Court of Wuhan City, Hubei province, against Du Hai Shan, his brother, Beijing Chen Da and Logic Express, requesting that the court restore the equity interests originally held by the plaintiffs, 25% equity interest held by Mr. Du and 41% equity interest held by Missile Engineering and the court issued a preliminary order attaching 66% of the equity of Shandong Taibang pending the outcome of the case. On September 25, 2009, the Higher People's Court of Hubei overruled the Wuhan Intermediate Court's acceptance of jurisdiction over the case and ruled that the Tai'an Intermediate Court in Shandong Province, where the Company is located, had the proper jurisdiction over the parties' dispute. The court ruled that while the plaintiffs had the right to bring a lawsuit for the validity of the share transfer agreement because they did not attend the previous arbitration hearing and never reached an arbitration agreement regarding their dispute, the Tai'an Intermediate Court has the proper jurisdiction over the dispute pursuant to the prior agreement of the parties. As a result, the attached 66% of the equity of Shandong Taibang was released. On November 16, 2009, the Wuhan Intermediate Court permitted Mr. Du and Missile Engineering to withdraw their suits against Logic Express and the other defendants.

On September 30, 2010, the Company received a notice advising the Company that the PRC Supreme Court has accepted an appeal for judicial review of the Hubei High Court ruling dismissing the case. On November 2, 2010, the Company submitted its counter-argument and related materials to the PRC Supreme Court and is awaiting the court's ruling. Failure to resolve this dispute in the Company's favor may adversely affect the Company's business and operations.
Dispute over Raw Plasma Supply Agreement with Xintai
On March 10, 2009, Henan Xintai Medicine Company (previously known as Henan Zhongtai Medicine, Xintai) brought suit against Shandong Taibang and its two wholly-owned plasma collecting subsidiaries in Shandong for breach of a raw plasma supply agreement. The suit was subsequently withdrawn by Xintai on May 31, 2009. The agreement, signed by Shandong Taibang and Xintai on October 10, 2006, requires the two subsidiaries to provide to Xintai 45 metric tons of raw plasma per year from 2007 to 2009. The subsidiaries provided more than 34 metric tons of plasma to Xintai during 2007. However, the Company ceased its delivery of plasma to Xintai in late 2007 to avoid contravention of new PRC regulation. Clause 43 of an October 31, 2007, PRC State Department Regulation on Plasma Collection Stations, prohibits plasma collecting stations from providing raw plasma to any manufacturer other than their direct parent (the Regulation). On March 12, 2009, Shandong Taibang filed a suit in the Shandong Tai'an Middle Court against Xintai seeking damages of RMB50,000 (approximately, $7,335) for the plasma already supplied to Xintai during 2007. On June 29, 2009, Xintai re-filed its suit in the Shandong Tai'an Middle Court against Shandong Taibang and the two subsidiaries seeking compensation of RMB6,000,000 (approximately, $880,200) for alleged breach of contract and demanding that Shandong Taibang and the subsidiaries continue to honor the agreement. On October 20, 2009, the Tai'an Middle Court combined and heard the two suits and ruled on January 20, 2010 in favor of Shandong Taibang on all accounts.
On February 17, 2010, Xintai appealed to the High Court of Shandong Province and on August 10, 2010, the High Court remanded the suit to the Taian Middle Court for retrial on grounds of insufficient evidence.

Warrants
On June 5, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued 3.8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,554,140 and Warrants to purchase up to 1,194,268 shares of common stock of the Company. The Warrants have a term of 3 years, an exercise price of $4.80 per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to anti-dilution and other customary provisions, and are exercisable by the Investors at any time after the date on which their related Notes are converted, except that if any of the Notes is converted in part, the Investors may only exercise a corresponding portion of the related Warrant. The Company also issued to the placement agents 93,750 Warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, expiring after 3 years. During the first quarter of 2010, 143,575 shares of the Investors Warrants and all of the placement agents Warrants were converted into the Companys common stock and the related derivative liabilities amounted to $2,436,907 were transferred to additional paid-in capital accordingly.
These common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire.

Options
On May 9, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides up to 5,000,000 shares of Companys Common Stock to be made available to employees and directors at various prices as established by the Board of Directors of the Company. On January 7, 2010, the Board of Directors granted to one of the employees, options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock under the 2008 plan, with an exercise price of $12.60, immediate vesting and an expiration date of January 7, 2020 , in accordance with his employment agreement with the company. On February 4, 2010, the board of directors granted to a newly appointed director options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Companys common stock, with an exercise price of $10.66, 10,000 shares of which vested on August 4, 2010 and the remaining 10,000 shares will be vested on February 4, 2011.
On July 11, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the grant to Mr. Sean Shao, Dr. Tong Jun Lin, Dr. Xiangmin Cui and Mr. Chaoming Zhao, of options to purchase 40,000 shares each of the Companys common stock, and to Mr. Y. Tristan Kuo of options to purchase 35,000 shares of the Companys common stocks, and to Mr. Tung Lam, the Chief Executive Officer of Shandong Taibang and certain other employees of the Company of options to purchase 776,000 shares of the Company's common stocks, all pursuant to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These options will be exercisable at $12.26, the fair market price as of the grant date, and will be vested in 12 equal quarters with an initial vesting date of October 11, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, there were 2,961,500 shares available under the plan.
The fair value of each option granted on May 9, 2008, July 24, 2008, January 7, 2010, February 4, 2010 and July 11, 2010 are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Weighted average expected volatility | 59.4% | 81.2% | 130.0% | 130.0% | 135.0% |
The volatility of the Companys common stock was estimated by management based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the estimated life of the options, and the expected dividend yield was based on the Companys current and expected dividend policy. The value of the options was based on the Companys common stock price on the date the options were granted. Because the Company does not have a history of employee stock options, the Company utilized the simplified method to estimate the life of the options which is the same as assuming that the options are exercised at the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed $63,812 and $7,314 in compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed $681,653 and $62,281 in compensation expense. As of September 30, 2010, approximately $10,459,146 of estimated expense with respect to non-vested stock-based awards has yet to be recognized and will be recognized as an expense over the employee's remaining weighted average service period of approximately 3.0 years. The options are accounted for as equity under FASBs accounting standard related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. The options activity is as follows:

Note 19 Statutory reserves
In accordance with the Law of the PRC on Joint Ventures Using Chinese and Foreign Investment and the Companys Articles of Association, appropriations from net profit should be made to the Reserve Fund and the Enterprise Expansion Fund, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, and before profit distributions to the investors. The percentages to be appropriated to the Reserve Fund and the Enterprise Expansion Fund are determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Reserve fund
10% of the net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations are transferred to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Companys registered capital. As of September 30, 2010, approximately $26.3 million was reserved. Although Shandong Taibang and Qianfeng have met 50% of its registered capital, the board of directors decided to continue to make such reserve. For other subsidiaries in PRC, as of September 30, 2010, $4.7millions funds still need to be reserved. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividend to shareholders. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing stockholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
Enterprise expansion fund
The enterprise fund may be used to acquire plant and equipment or to increase the working capital to expend on production and operation of the business. The Companys policy is to transfer 5% of Shandong Taibangs net income to this fund determined in accordance with the Companys policy.
Note 20 Retirement benefit plans
Regulations in the PRC require the Company to contribute to a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of all permanent employees. All permanent employees are entitled to an annual pension equal to their basic salaries at retirement. The PRC government is responsible for the benefit liability to these retired employees. The Company is required to make contributions to the state retirement plan at 20% of the monthly base salaries of the current employees. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company made pension contributions in the amount of $147,718 and $145,089, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company made pension contributions in the amount of $357,075 and $487,459, respectively.

Acquisition of Ziguang Bio-Technology Co.
On January 22, 2010, Shandong Taibang entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Yuncheng Ziguang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. which is located in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, Shandong Taibang agreed to purchase 100% of Yuncheng Ziguangs equity interest at a purchase price of RMB 10,066,672 (approximately $1,476,781), which was paid on February 24, 2010. Yuncheng Ziguangs main business is manufacturing, packing and selling of health drinks and foods. Among its assets, Yuncheng Ziguang owns six buildings and a right to acquire a land use right to approximately 323,000 square feet of land. The purpose of this acquisition is mainly for the relocation of Shandong Taibangs Yang Gu plasma station, which is adjacent to Yuncheng Ziguang, into the existing building and the land that Yuncheng Ziguang currently owns or is entitled to own. The Yun Cheng plasma station is the oldest and smallest among the Company's five stations in Shandong. Management expects that the relocation of the plasma station into the new facility will increase its plasma collection capacity with a low investment cost.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which represents the purchase price allocation at the date of the acquisition of Ziguang based on an independent third party appraiser.

Overview of Our Business
We are a biopharmaceutical company and through our indirect majority-owned Chinese subsidiaries, Shandong Taibang and Qianfeng, and minority-owned Chinese subsidiary, Huitian, we are principally engaged in the research, development and manufacturing of plasma-based pharmaceutical products in China. Shandong Taibang operates from our manufacturing facility located in Tai'an City, Shandong Province and Qianfeng operates in Guizhou Province. Our minority owned subsidiary, Huitian, operates from facilities in Shaanxi Province. The plasma-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is highly regulated by both the provincial and central governments. Accordingly, the manufacturing process of our products is strictly monitored from the initial collection of plasma from human donors to finished products. Our principal products include our approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products.
55
We are approved to sell human albumin 20%/10ml, 20%/25ml, 20%/50m, 10%/10ml, 10%/25ml, 10%/50ml and 25%/50ml. Human albumin is our top-selling product. Sales of these human albumin products represented approximately 48.6% and 42.7% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 47.3% and 48.7% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Human albumin is principally used to increase blood volume while immunoglobulin, one of our other major products, is used for certain disease preventions and cures. The Companys approved human albumin and immunoglobulin products use human plasma as the basic raw material. Albumin has been used for almost 50 years to treat critically ill patients by replacing lost fluid and maintaining adequate blood volume and pressure. All of our products are prescription medicines administered in the form of injections.
We sell our products to customers in the PRC, mainly hospitals and inoculation centers. Our sales have historically been made on the basis of short-term arrangements and our largest customers have changed over the years. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 19.1% and 17.7%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our largest 5 customers accounted for approximately 12.3% and 4.8% of our revenue, respectively. As we continue to diversify our geographic presence, customer base and product mix, we expect that our largest customers will continue to change from year to year.
We operate and manage our business as a single segment. We do not account for the results of our operations on a geographic or other basis.
Our principal executive offices are located at No. 14 East Hushan Road, Taian City, Shandong, Peoples Republic of China 271000. Our corporate telephone number is (+86) 538-620-2306 and our fax number is (+86) 538-620-3895. We maintain a website at http://www.chinabiologic.com that contains information about our operating company, but that information is not part of this report.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of the 17.24% Minority Interest of Taibang Medical
On July 8, 2010, Logic China, our wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, entered into an equity transfer agreement to purchase 100% equity interest in Shandong Medical from the Companys indirect 82.76% -owned subsidiary Shandong Taibang, for a purchase price of RMB 6,440,000 (approximately $947,327), payable in cash. The equity transfer was registered with the local Administration for Industry and Commerce (AIC) on September 10, 2010 and the purchase price was fully paid on September 23, 2010. As a result of the equity transfer, Taibang Medical is now our indirect 100% owned subsidiary and its resources in sales and marketing of Taibang and Qianfeng products may be consolidated in our financial statements.

Revenues. Our revenues are derived primarily from the sales of our human albumin and immunoglobulin products. Our revenues increased 33.2%, or $8,964,026, to $36,003,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to revenues of $27,039,739 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The growth in revenue is mainly due to a general increase in the price, as a result of growing demand, of our products, which contributed about more than one-third of the growth for the quarter, as well as a 1.2% increase in foreign exchange translation. Most of our approved products recorded price increases ranging from 6.2% to 55.8%, except for human albumin products and human immunoglobulin products, which decreased by 4.3% and 11.8%, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the average price for our approved human albumin products, which contributed 48.6% to our total revenues, decreased 4.3%, the average price for our approved human hepatitis B immunoglobulin products, which contributed 7.1% to our total revenues, increased 55.8%, the average price for our approved human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection products, which contributed 36.3% to our revenues, increased 27.0%, the average price for our approved human rabies immunoglobulin products, which contributed 2.9% to our revenues, increased 51.4%, the average price for our approved human tetanus immunoglobulin products, which contributed 4.1% to our revenue, increased 6.2%, and the average price for our approved human immunoglobulin products, which contributed 0.5% to our revenue, decreased 11.8%, as compared to the same period in 2009. The average price decrease in human albumin products is mainly due to an increase in the imported volume of this product during 2010.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased $1,721,601, or 24.7%, to $8,682,502 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $6,960,901 during the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to the 33.2% increase in revenue and increase in fees paid to plasma donors, as well as the 1.2% increase in foreign exchange translation. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was 24.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 25.7% during the same period in 2009.
Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit increased by $7,242,425, or 36.1% to $27,321,263 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $20,078,838 for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of sales revenue, our gross profit margin increased by 1.6% to 75.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from 74.3% for the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit is mainly due to increases in the unit price and sales volume of our products, as well as the 1.2% increase in foreign exchange translation.
58
Operating expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by $2,442,690, or 40.4%, to $8,493,794 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $6,051,104 for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to a 259.9% increase in our selling expenses, a 12.8% increase in our general and administrative expenses and a 64.6% increase in our research and development expenses. As a percentage of sales revenue, total operating expenses increased by 1.2% to 23.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from 22.4% for the same period in 2009.
Selling expenses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, our selling expenses increased to $2,229,685, from $619,467 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $1,610,218 or 259.9%. As a percentage of sales, our selling expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 increased by 3.9%, to 6.2%, from 2.3% for third quarter 2009. The increase in selling expenses is mainly due to an increase in our promotional and conference activities as we continue our efforts in expanding our customer base into hospital and inoculation centers throughout the PRC.
General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our general and administrative expenses increased $662,981, or 12.8%, to $5,832,118, from $5,169,137 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 2.9%, to 16.2%, for the third quarter of 2010, from 19.1% for the same period in 2009. Non-cash employee compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $56,498 to $63,812, from $7,314 for the same period in 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due mainly to the increase in legal expense, as a result of the $594,865 settlement of a law suit with Henan Xintai as described under the legal proceedings heading below, and a mild increases in rent, depreciation and maintenance expenses.
Research and development expenses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our research and development expenses were $431,991 and $262,500, respectively, an increase of $169,491, or 64.6%. As a percentage of revenues, our research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to the allocation of cost associated with the development of two new products which are at the end of their respective development stage. We expect to receive approval for these two new products from the PRC State Food and Drug Administration, or the SFDA, in early 2011.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The embedded derivatives (including the conversion option) in our senior secured convertible notes and warrants issued in June 2009 are classified as derivative liabilities carried at fair value. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized an income from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the amounts of $3,792,793 and a loss of $13,378,046, respectively. The recognized income from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the third quarter of 2010 is mainly due to a decrease in the price of our common stock from $10.99 to $9.88 as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Future changes in the market price of our common stock could cause the fair value of these derivative financial instruments to change significantly in future periods.
Interest expense (income), net. Our net of interest expense (income) decreased by $213,484, or 29.5%, to an expense of $511,287 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from an interest expense, net of $724,771 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expenses is primarily due to our paying off a related party loan related to the acquisition of Dalin in the second quarter of 2010, conversion of $2.5 million of our outstanding convertible notes in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 and an increase in interest income from our short term deposits with financial institutions.
Income tax expense. Our provision for income taxes increased $963,436, or 40.0%, to $3,373,557 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from $2,410,121 for the same period in 2009. The increase of income tax provision was consistent with our increase of net operation income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with same period in prior year.
59
Net income. Our net income increased $20,004,684, or 319.0%, to $13,733,503 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, from a net loss of $6,271,181 for the same period in 2009. Net income and net loss as a percentage of revenues was 38.1% and 23.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in net income is mainly due to increases in the selling price and sales volume of our products, as well as the decrease in the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities.

Revenues. Our revenues are derived primarily from the sales of our human albumin and immunoglobulin products. Our revenues increased 27.8%, or $22,640,752, to $104,010,634 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to revenues of $81,369,882 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The growth in revenue is mainly due to an increase in the unit price, as a result of growing demand, of our products, which contributed more than one-third of the growth for the nine month period, as well as a 0.4% increase in foreign exchange translation. Almost all of our approved products recorded price increases ranging from 15.1% to 213.6%, except for human albumin products, which decreased by 0.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the average price for our approved human albumin products, which contributed 47.3% to our total revenues, decreased 0.6%, the average price for our approved human hepatitis B immunoglobulin products, which contributed 8.4% to our total revenues, increased 213.6%, the average price for our approved human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection products, which contributed 33.2% to our revenues, increased 30.7%, the average price for our approved human rabies immunoglobulin products, which contributed 5.9% to our revenues, increased 27.5%, the average price for our approved human tetanus immunoglobulin products, which contributed 3.2% to our revenue, increased 15.1%, and the average price for our approved human immunoglobulin products, which contributed 1.0% to our revenue, increased 32.5%, as compared to the same period in 2009. As the volume of imported human albumin continues to increase, the Company expects that the price of human albumin may continue to experience downward pressure for the remainder of 2010, while the price of our other products should remain stable.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased $3,788,770, or 17.0%, to $26,126,366 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $22,337,596 during the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to a 16.6% increase in the cost of revenues as a result of our increased sales and the increase in fees paid to the plasma donors, as well as a 0.4% increase due to foreign exchange translation. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was 25.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 27.5% during the same period in 2009. The increase in cost of revenues is due to the increase in sales, while the decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of sales is due to a change in the mix of products that were sold during the 2010 period.
Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit increased by $18,851,982, or 31.9%, to $77,884,268 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $59,032,286 for the same period in 2009. As a percentage of sales revenue, our gross profit margin increased by 2.4% to 74.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 72.5% for the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit is due mainly to increases in the selling price and sales volume of our products during the 2010 period, as compared to the same period last year.
Operating expenses. Our total operating expenses increased by $4,653,313, or 25.3%, to $23,061,819 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $18,408,506 for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to a 21.3% increase in our research and development expenses, a 117.4% increase in our selling expense and an 11.4% increase in our general and administrative expenses during the 2010 period. As a percentage of sales revenue, total operating expenses decreased by 0.4% to 22.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 22.6% for the same period in 2009.
Selling expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our selling expenses increased to $5,029,474, from $2,313,577 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 2,715,897, or 117.4%. As a percentage of sales, our selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 2.0%, to 4.8%, from 2.8% for the same period in 2009. The increase in selling expenses is primarily due to an increase in our promotional and conference activities as we continue our efforts in expanding our customer base into hospital and inoculation centers throughout the PRC.
61
General and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our general and administrative expenses increased $1,703,474, or 11.4%, to $16,700,320, from $14,996,846 for the same period in 2009. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 2.3% to 16.1% for the first nine months of 2010, from 18.4% for the same period in 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the nine months of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009, is primarily due to the increases in travel and general office expenses as we continue to our efforts to integrate our two main operating entities, as well as legal expense, non-cash employee compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses, which were offset by the decrease in bad debt, payroll. The increase in legal expense is due to the $594,865 settlement of a law suit with Henan Xintai as described under the legal proceedings heading below. Non-cash employee compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $619,372 to $681,653, from $62,281 for the same period in 2009, as a result of the amortization of the grant of stock options to a director in the first quarter of 2010.
Research and development expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our research and development expenses were $1,332,025 and $1,098,083, respectively, an increase of $233,942, or 21.3%. As a percentage of revenues, our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were both 1.3%. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to the allocation of cost associated with the development of two new products that are at the end of their respective development stage. We expect to receive SFDA approval for these two new products in early 2011.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The embedded derivatives (including the conversion option) in our senior secured convertible notes and warrants that were issued in June 2009 are classified as derivative liabilities carried at fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized an income from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the amounts of $9,897,199 and a loss of $14,220,227, respectively. The recognized income from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the first nine months of 2010 is mainly due to a decrease in the price of our common stock from $12.08 to $9.88 as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Future changes in the market price of our common stock could cause the fair value of these derivative financial instruments to change significantly in future periods.
Interest expense (income), net. Our net of interest expense (income) decreased by $848,193, or 42.8%, to an expense of $1,131,345 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from an interest expense of $1,979,538 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in net of interest expense (income) is primarily due to our payment of a related party loan related to the acquisition of Dalin in the second quarter of 2010, conversion of $2.5 million of our outstanding convertible notes in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 and the $0.6 million increase in interest income from our short term deposits with financial institutions.
Other income-related party. The other non-operating income from related party was due to $0.9 million less in interest expenses be settled with Shandong Institute than our previous estimation in accordance with the Entrustment Agreement, dated April 6, 2009, among Logic Express, Shandong Taibang and the Shandong Institute of Biological Products, the holder of the minority interests in Shandong Taibang.
Income tax expense. Our provision for income taxes increased $4,233,884, or 59.0%, to $11,406,599 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $7,172,715 for the same period in 2009. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 17.6% and 29.8%, respectively. Among the increase in income taxes, $1.8 million is due to the dividend tax imposed by PRC tax authorities on dividends distributed by our two main operating entities to Logic Express during the 2010 period.
62
Net income attributable to controlling interest. Our net income increased $31,412,325, or 530.6%, to $37,332,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $5,920,609 for the same period in 2009. Net income as a percentage of revenues was 35.9% and 7.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by short-term bank borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders. As of September 30, 2010, we had $64,579,098 in cash and cash equivalents, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits.
The following table provides the statements of net cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 (Unaudited):

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $35.5 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2009. The net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly due to the cash-related consolidated net income of $49.6 million and offset by cash outflow for inventory, accounts receivable, accrued interest, and taxes payable of $10.7 million, $4.5 million, $2.1 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. The cash outflow for inventory is a direct result of the implementation of the 90-day quarantine period by the PRC government, which caused a longer staging period for its raw material plasma inventory. As the Company increased its sales directly to the end-users, hospitals and inoculation centers with extended credit term, we experienced a slower turn-over with our accounts receivable. The cash provided by operating activities in the same period in 2009 was mainly from cash-related net income of $36.6 million, advanced receipt from customer of $4.2 million and the $4.2 million increase in other payables, and offset by $9.7 million in cash paid for inventory.
63
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $11.6 million, as compared to $6 million net cash used in investing activities in the same period of 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we paid $1.5 million to acquire a new Company, Ziguang Bio-tech Company, with $1.5 million net assets, paid the final $2.5 million payment for the Dalin acquisition to Dalins old shareholders, and paid $1.8 million for equipment for Shandong Taibang and $5.8 million for our plasma companies' buildings and construction in progress in Dalin.
On January 22, 2010, Shandong Taibang entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Yuncheng Ziguang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which is located in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, Shandong Taibang agreed to purchase 100% of Yuncheng Ziguangs equity interest at a purchase price of RMB 10,066,672 (approximately $1,476,781), which was subsequently paid as of February 24, 2010. Yuncheng Ziguangs main business is manufacturing, packing and selling of health drinks and foods. Among its assets, Yuncheng Ziguang owns six buildings and a right to acquire a land use right for approximately 323,000 square feet of land. The purpose of this acquisition is mainly for the relocation of Shandong Taibangs Yun Cheng plasma station, which is adjacent to Yuncheng Ziguang, into the existing building and the land that Yuncheng Ziguang currently owns or entitled to own. The Yun Cheng plasma station is the oldest and smallest among our five stations in Shandong. Management expects that the relocation of the plasma station into the new facility will increase its plasma collection capacity with a low investment cost.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $10.2 million as compared to $12.1 million provided by financing activities in the same period of 2009. The increase of the cash used in financing activities was mainly attributable to the $8.6 million dividend paid to the Shandong Taibang minority shareholder, repayment of a non-controlling shareholder loan of $3.7 million, repayment of short term bank loan of $4.4 million and offset by short-term bank loans and proceeds from warrants conversion of $5.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash on hand and continuing positive cash inflow, from the sale of its plasma-based products in the PRC market. Our management expects continued growth in revenues throughout the term of the convertible notes, largely due to the ongoing limited supply of plasma-based products in the PRC market in connection with the introduction of more stringent health and safety measures which we already meet. In light of the foregoing, we believe that we will have the financial ability to fulfill our payment obligations under the convertible notes when they come due.
Obligations under Material Contracts
On June 5, 2009, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue to the investors 3.8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,554,140 and warrants to purchase up to 1,194,268 shares of our common stock. The transaction closed on June 10, 2009. On December 22, 2009, two of the note holders exercised their rights to convert $1,000,000 of their notes into an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock. On January 13, 2010, two note holders continued to exercise their rights to convert $1,054,140 of their remaining notes into an aggregate of 263,535 shares of our common stock. The fair value market of conversion options of $2,627,558, carrying value of $14,428, accrued interest of $8,550 and deferred fee of $134,479 were included in additional paid-in-capital upon conversion of the convertible notes. As a result, notes in the principal amount of $7,500,000 are outstanding as of September 30, 2010. On November 10, 2010, the remaining note holder exercised its right to convert $2,800,000 of its note into an aggregate of 700,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, only a note in the principal amount of $4,700,000 remains outstanding as of the date of this report.
Qianfeng has payables to Guizhou Eakan Investing Corp. in the amount of approximately $2,166,183 (RMB14,470,160). Guizhou Eakan Investing Corp. is one of the shareholders of Guizhou Eakan, one of the Qianfengs minority shareholders. The Company borrowed this non-interest bearing amount for working capital purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management's difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB's accounting standard related to fair value measurements and began recording financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurement at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, receivables, payables including accrued liabilities and short term loans to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated rates of interest are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The fair values are measured pursuant to the three levels defined by the FASB's accounting standard as follow:
|
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| |
|
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
|
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable, which are generally considered to be met upon delivery and acceptance of products at the customer site. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers. As a policy, we do not accept any product returns and based on our records, product returns, if any, are immaterial. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax, or VAT. All products produced by us and sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. Products distributed by Taibang Medical are subjected to a 17% VAT.
65
Inventories
Due to its unique nature, our principal raw material, human blood plasma is subject to various quality and safety control issues which include, but are not limited to, contaminations and blood born diseases. In addition, limitations of current technology pose biological hazards inherent in plasma that have yet to be discovered, which could result in a widespread epidemic due to blood infusion. In the event that human plasma is discovered to contain pathogens or infectious agents or other bio-hazards, we would be required to write down our inventory to net realizable value. We determine the net realizable value of our inventories on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated selling expenses. The cost of major raw materials (plasma) used in the production are being allocated based on the management's estimation of historical yields and market value from the annual production for each different products. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate inventories that may be worth less than current carrying amounts. Total inventories amounted to $46.6 million as of September 30, 2010. In order to ensure that the growing demand for our products is met, as well as the 90-day quarantine period requirement on plasma raw material implemented by the PRC government, we have been gradually increasing our inventory level of raw materials. We strictly follow the production processes required by government regulations resulting in the relatively high level of work-in-progress customary to our industry.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review periodically the carrying amounts of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with finite useful lives, to assess whether they are impaired. We evaluate these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable such as a change of business plan, technical obsolescence, or a period of continuous losses. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In determining estimates of future cash flows, significant judgment in terms of projection of future cash flows and assumptions is required.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates and assumptions, including those related to the fair value of stock based compensation, potential losses on outstanding receivables and slow-moving inventories, the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, allocation of plasma production cost as well as bonus accruals for year end management bonus. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to contingencies, including, legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability. We recognize a liability for such contingency if we determine that it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. We may consider many factors in making these assessments, including past history and the specifics of each matter. As we have not become aware of any product liability claim since operations commenced, we have not recognized a liability for any product liability claims.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01 Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51. If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The Company adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
67
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. This Update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 20-10-17, Revenue RecognitionMilestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-17 does not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 which amends Receivables (Topic 310). ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entitys risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. ASU 2010-20 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-25, Plan AccountingDefined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962): Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans or ASU 2010-25. The ASU clarifies how loans to participants should be classified and measured by defined contribution plans and how IFRS compare to these provisions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chao Ming Zhao and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Y. Tristan Kuo, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2010. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messrs. Zhao and Kuo, determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures on our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which we are still in the process of remediating, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of annual report on Form 10-K, as amended on March 31, 2011, for the year ended December 31, 2009 for the description of these weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
69
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, the management concluded that, after adding two qualified accountants, the Company still needs to increase its qualified accounting personnel and enhance the supervision, monitoring and reviewing of financial statements preparation processes. The Company has already taken measures to remediate these material weaknesses by seeking an additional financial reporting and accounting staff member with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure requirements under SEC rules. In addition, the Company is working closely with its outside consultant in reinforcing the rigorous process for collecting and reviewing information required for the preparation of the financial statements including footnotes.
Other than the foregoing changes, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the legal proceedings set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Bobai County Collection Station
In January 2007, our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Taibang, advanced $413,697 (RMB3.0 million) to Feng Lin, the 20% minority shareholder in Fang Cheng Plasma Company, our majority owned subsidiary, for the purpose of establishing or acquiring a plasma collection station. Mr. Lin and Shandong Taibang intended to establish the Bobai Kangan Plasma Collection Co., Ltd., or Bobai, in Bobai County, Guangxi and on January 18, 2007, Shandong Taibang signed a letter of intent to acquire the assets of the Bobai Plasma Collection Station, which was co-owned by Mr. Lin and Mr. Keliang Huang. However, in January 2007, Hua Lan Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., or Hua Lan, filed suit in the District Court of Hong Qi District, Xin Xiang City, Henan Province, alleging that Feng Lin, Keliang Huang and Shandong Taibang established and/or sought to operate the Bobai Plasma Collection Station using a permit for collecting and supplying human plasma in Bobai County, that was originally granted to Hua Lan by the government of the Guangxi region, without Hua Lan's permission. The establishment and registration of Bobai was never realized as a result of this law suit. On January 29, 2007, on Hua Lan's motion, the District Court entered an order to freeze funds in the amount of approximately $386,100 (RMB3,000,000) held by the defendants in the case, including approximately $65,750 (RMB500,000) in funds held in Shandong Taibang's bank account in Tai'an City. A hearing was held on June 25, 2007 and judgment was entered against the defendants along with a $226,780 (RMB1,700,000) joint financial judgment. The Company appealed the District Court judgment to the Xinxiang City Intermediate Court. In November 2007, the Intermediate Court affirmed the judgment against the three defendants and increased the amount of the joint financial judgment to approximately $405,954 (RMB3,000,000).
70
In January 2008, Hua Lan enforced the judgment granted by the Intermediate Court to freeze the Company's bank accounts. Shandong Taibang has filed a separate action against Hua Lan before the Tai'an City District Court to seek recovery of any losses in connection with Hua Lan's claim and to request that the Tai'an City District Court preserve Hua Lan's property or freeze up to approximately $411,300 (RMB 3 million) of Hua Lan's assets to secure the return of such funds to the Company. The intermediate court in Tai'an City accepted the application on February 14, 2008 but the matter is still pending. Pending the outcome of the proceedings, Shandong Taibang increased its loss contingency reserve during its fourth quarter of 2007 from approximately $75,593 (RMB566,667) to $133,400 (RMB1,000,000) to cover its share of the enforcement of this judgment. During the fourth quarter of 2008, full amount of the judgment, including Feng Lin and Keliang Huang's portions of the judgment and the related fees, approximately $456,222 (RMB 3,109,900) has been withdrawn from Shandong Taibang's account. The Company recorded Feng Lin and Keliang Huang's portion of the judgment, approximately $304,143 (RMB2,073,234), as receivable as a result of the withdrawal. As of December 31, 2008, the Company determined that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to recover such receivable from those two individuals and wrote off the receivable as bad debt expense. In January 2010, Feng Lin transferred his 20% equity in Fang Cheng Plasma Company as a repayment to such receivable. As a result, the Company is now the 100% owner of the Fang Cheng Plasma Company.
In October 2009, Shandong Taibang appealed to the High Court of Henan Province requesting the court to reverse judgments from the Hong Qi District Court based on Shandong Taibang's belief that Hua Lans involvement in Bobai was in violation of PRC Blood Products Regulations as Hua Lan did not invest, as Shandong Taibang did, in Bobai as required by the Regulation. The Company was awaiting the judgment of the Henan High Court as of the date of this report. In light of the foregoing, it is unlikely that the Company's planned acquisition of the assets of Bobai will go forward.
Dispute among Qianfeng Shareholders over Raising Additional Capital
On May 28, 2007, a 91% majority of Qianfeng's shareholders approved a plan to raise additional capital from private strategic investors through the issuance of an additional 20,000,000 shares of Qianfeng equity interests at RMB 2.80 per share. The plan required all existing Qianfeng shareholders to waive their rights of first refusal to subscribe for the additional shares. The remaining 9% minority holder of Qianfeng's shares, the Guizhou Jie'an Company, or Jie'an, did not support the plan and did not agree to waive its right of first refusal. On May 29, 2007, the majority shareholders caused Qianfeng to sign an Equity Purchase Agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to invest an aggregate of RMB 50,960,000 (approximately $7,475,832) in exchange for 18,200,000 shares, or 21.4%, of Qianfeng's equity interests. At the same time, Jie'an also subscribed for 1,800,000 shares, representing its 9% pro rata share of the 20,000,000 shares being offered. The proceeds from all parties were received by Qianfeng in accordance with the agreement.
In June 2007, Jie'an brought suit in the High Court of Guizhou province, China, against Qianfeng and the three other original Qianfeng shareholders, alleging the illegality of the Equity Purchase Agreement. In its complaint, Jie'an alleged that it had a right to acquire the shares waived by the original Qianfeng shareholders and offered to the investors in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement. On September 12, 2008, the Guizhou High Court ruled against Jie'an and sustained the Equity Purchase Agreement, but on November 2008, Jie'an appealed the Guizhou High Court judgment to the People's Supreme Court in Beijing. On May 13, 2009, the People's Supreme Court sustained the original ruling and denied the rights of first refusal of Jie'an over the additional shares waived by the original Qianfeng's shareholders. The registration of the new investors as Qianfeng's shareholders and the related increase in registered capital of Qianfeng with the Administration for Industry and Commerce are still pending. On January 27, 2010, the strategic investors brought suit in the High Court of Guizhou Province against Qianfeng alleging Qianfengs failure to register their equity interest in Qianfeng with the local AIC and requesting the distribution of their share of Qianfengs dividends. Dalin was also joined as a co-defendant as it is the majority shareholder and exercises control over Qianfengs day-to-day operations. The Company does not expect the strategic investors to prevail because, upon evaluation of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company believes that the Equity Purchase Agreement is void due to certain invalid pre-conditions and the absence of shareholder authorization of the initial investment. In the event that Qianfeng is required to return their original investment amount to the strategic investors, as of September 30, 2010, Qianfeng has set aside the strategic investors fund along with RMB 9.35 million (approximately $1.4 million) in accrued interests, and RMB 519,600 (approximately $74,712) for the 1% penalty imposed by the agreement for any breach. If strategic investors prevail in their suit, Dalin's interests in Qianfeng may be reduced to approximately 41.3%. The High Court of Guizhou heard the case on April 8, 2010 and encouraged, and accepted by both parties, to settle the dispute outside the court but both parties failed to reach a mutual agreeable term.
71
On October 14, 2010, the High Court of Guizhou ruled in favor of the Company and denied the strategic investors right as shareholders of Qianfeng, as well as their entitlement to the dividends. On October 26, 2010, the strategic investors appealed to the PRC Superior Court in Beijing on the ruling and the Company is waiting to hear whether the Court will accept the appeal.
During the second quarter of 2010, Jiean requested that Qianfeng register its 1.8 million shares of additional capital infusion with the local AIC, pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, and such request was approved by the majority shareholders of Qianfeng in a shareholders meeting held in the second quarter of 2010. However, the Board of Directors of the Company is withholding its required ratification of the shareholders approval of Jieans request until the outcome of the ongoing litigations. If the Company decides to ratify the approval, Dalins ownership in Qianfeng will be diluted from 54% to 52.54% and Jiean may be entitled to receive its pro rata share of Qianfengs profits from the prior two years.
Administration Interference
Qianfeng is party to an administrative proceeding against the government of the Qiandongnan Autonomous Region, or the Qiandongnan Authorities, in Guizhou Province, China, in connection with the ownership of three of Qianfeng's entitled eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province. Qianfeng was authorized to acquire a total of eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province based on several national and provincial administrative authorizations issued by the PRC State Council and the Guizhou Ministry of Health between 2006 and 2007, but to date, the governmental authorizations have not been fully implemented by the Qiandongnan Authorities. In early 2007, Qianfeng submitted RMB 8,010,000 (approximately $1,173,465) to the local finance department of Sansui County, Qiandongnan, for acquiring the Sansui Plasma Collection Station (Sansui), but the local finance department refused to honor the purchase and returned the full consideration to Qianfeng. Furthermore, subsequent local rulings published by the Qiandongnan Authorities February 28, 2008 appear to authorize another private company to acquire the Sansui and two other stations, the Zhengyuan Plasma Collection Station and the Shibing Plasma Collection Station. In December 2008 Qianfeng filed an administrative review application with the People's Government of Guizhou Province, or the Guizhou Provincial Government, but the Guizhou Provincial Government has delayed making a final decision pending further review of regulations regarding administrative authorizations. Qianfeng has received verbal notification from staff in the Guizhou Provincial Government that the Qiandongnan Authorities have withdrawn the local rulings. As a result, Qianfeng has withdrawn its application with the Guizhou Provincial Government to facilitate further negotiation with Qiandongnan Authorities on its right to acquire all eight plasma stations in Guizhou Province.
In addition, Qianfeng has set aside the funds necessary to purchase Sansui pending the outcome of the administrative review. There have been no further developments on this case as of the date of this report.
72
Qianfeng's Guarantee to a Third Party
In 2007, as a condition to purchase Huang Ping Plasma Station, Qianfeng entered into an agreement with Guizhou Zhongxin Investment Company, or Zhongxin, in which Qianfeng agreed to repay Zhongxin's debt out of Qianfeng's payables to Zhongxin arising from plasma purchased from Zhongxin. In the same agreement, Qianfeng also delivered a guarantee to the Huang Ping County Hospital, the former co-owner of the Huang Ping Plasma Station, that it would pay RMB3,074,342 (approximately, $451,006) in debt that Zhongxin owed to the hospital. On June 1, 2009, Huang Ping Hospital brought suit, in the Huang Ping County People's Court of Guizhou Province, against Zhongxin for non-payment of its payables and debt due to Huang Ping Hospital and against Qianfeng as the guarantor. On November 2, 2009, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and Qianfeng as the guarantor became obligated to repay the Zhongxins debt to the Huang Ping Hospital on behalf of Zhongxin. In October 2009, Qianfeng appealed to the Middle Court of Kaili District in Guizhou Province which sustained the original judgment on April 8, 2010. Under the Equity Transfer Agreement pursuant to which we acquired a 90% interest in Dalin, Qianfeng's majority shareholder, provides that the sellers will be responsible, based on their pro rata equity interest in Qianfeng, for damages incurred by Qianfeng from Zhongxin's debt and that they will repay Dalin their pro rata share of payments made by Qianfeng to creditors in connection with Zhongxin's debt within 10 days after payment by Qianfeng. The RMB 3,074,342 contingent liability and proportionate share of the liability to be recovered from the sellers were properly reflected in the financials as of December 31, 2009. On June 30, 2010, Qianfeng brought suit against Zhongxin in the Middle Court of Guiyang City, to recover the full judgment amount of RMB 3,074,342 plus court fee of RMB 32,340 that Qianfeng has already paid on behalf of Zhongxin.
On September 13, 2010, Zhongxin counter sued the Company for a consideration of RMB 500,000 (approximately $74,850) for the alleged loss of its share of income from the Huang Ping Plasma Station since the Company acquired the station in April 2007. The Company believes Zhongxins claim is unwarranted since the Company acquired the station from its rightful owner, the Treasury Department of Huangpin County, Guizhou Province.
Qianfeng, Huang Ping Plasma Station Business Contract
On January 4, 2009, a supplier to the Huang Ping Plasma Stations predecessor, Shanghai Dahua Medical Equipment Company, sued the station and the Company in the Peoples Court of Huang Ping County, Guizhou for the repayment of an unpaid payable of RMB 885,650, and accrued interest of RMB 191,539, owed by the predecessor of the station. The Court accepted the case and ruled on June 20, 2010 in favor of the plaintiff and required the Company to assume the liabilities resulting connection with the Companys acquisition of the station. The Company has accrued the judgment amount and is in the process of appealing to the court.
Shandong Taibang Equity Interests
Mr. Zu Ying Du was one of the original equity holders in the Companys operating subsidiary, Shandong Taibang. Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, among the original equity holders, Mr. Du was obligated to make a capital contribution of RMB 20 million (or approximately $2.6 million) for a 25% interest in Shandong Taibang. Mr. Du made this contribution using funds borrowed from the Beijing Chen Da Technology Investment Company, or Beijing Chen Da. Mr. Du failed to repay Beijing Chen Da for his loan of the capital contribution amount. Mr. Du disputes that the money was due and owing. A Beijing court found that Beijing Chen Da had given money to Mr. Du but found that the loan agreement failed to comply with Chinese law. A notice was issued on July 5, 2004 by the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau Economic Crime Investigation Unit requesting a stay of the Beijing action pending their investigation into money laundering relating to the 20 million RMB loan to Zu Ying Du.
73
Subsequently, Beijing Chen Da entered into an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Du, pursuant to which Mr. Du's 25% equity interest in Shandong Taibang was transferred to Beijing Chen Da as repayment of the RMB 20 million debt. This agreement was signed by Mr. Du's brother who held a power of attorney from Mr. Du. Mr. Du disputes the legitimacy of this transfer and has argued that his brother, Du Hai Shan, exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Mr. Du sued his brother in the court of Jianli County, Hubei province, relating to the propriety of the brother's actions under the power of attorney. Initially the county court found in its judgment that the act had exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Subsequently the Intermediate Court of Jingzhou City, Hubei province, ruled on December 10, 2008 to suspend the judgment based on the grounds that the original court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The case is slated to be reviewed again by the Hubei Jingzhou Intermediate Court.
Missile Engineering, another original equity holder wholly controlled by Mr. Du, was obligated to contribute RMB 32.8 million (or $4.2 million) for a 41% interest in Shandong Taibang by means of cash, equipment and patent technology. It was obligated to obtain new drug certificate and production license of its patent technology from the government within a stipulated period in order to be recognized as a valid capital contribution, or in the alternative, make a cash payment. The patent technology was valued as RMB 26.4 million (or approximately $3.4 million). However, Missile Engineering failed to obtain the new drug certificate and production license within the stipulated period. Mr. Du also disputes whether the period for obtaining the certificate and license had expired. Pursuant to a stockholders resolution on September 26, 2004, Missile Engineering agreed to sell its 41% interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing and Up-Wing agreed to take up the obligation of Missile Engineering to pay the RMB 26.4 million in cash. Missile Engineering disputes this transaction and sued the brother of Mr. Du in the court of Jianli County, Hubei province, relating to the propriety of the brother's actions under the power of attorney. Initially the county court found in its judgment that the act had exceeded the scope of the power of attorney. Subsequently the Intermediate Court of Jingzhou City, Hubei province, ruled on December 10, 2008 to suspend the judgment based on the grounds that the original court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The case is slated to be reviewed again by the Hubei Jingzhou Intermediate Court.
In June 10, 2005, Beijing Chen Da also sold its equity interest in Shandong Taibang to Up-Wing Investments Limited, or Up-Wing, pursuant to a share transfer agreement, which became effective on September 2, 2005, upon approval by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC. In March 2006, Up-Wing sold its equity interests in Shandong Taibang to Logic Express, the Companys subsidiary.
In 2006, Missile Engineering applied for arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, to challenge the effectiveness of the transfer to Up-Wing Investments Limited, of the equity interests in Shandong Taibang formerly owned by Missile Engineering. The equity transfer had been approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, or the Shandong COFTEC. Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew this application and instead applied for administrative reconsideration of the equity transfer, but this application was rejected by the Ministry of Commerce in 2007. Missile Engineering applied with the District Court of Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong province requesting revocation of Shandong COFTEC's approval of the equity transfer to Up-wing by Missile Engineering. Missile Engineering later voluntarily withdrew the action. In April 2007, Logic Express initiated an arbitration proceeding before the Shandong Tai'an Arbitration Committee, to establish that Logic Express is the lawful shareholder of Shandong Taibang. The parties to that proceeding were Logic Express Ltd. and Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co., Ltd. The Arbitration Committee's decision on September 6, 2007 confirmed that Logic Express had legitimate ownership as a result of the transfer of Shandong Taibang. Up-Wing started an action in the Intermediate Court of Tai'an City, Shandong province requesting the court to establish that Up-Wing is the lawful shareholder of Shandong Taibang. The Intermediate Court of Tai'an City, Shandong province on December 20, 2007 rejected the application on the basis that the same matter had been tried by the arbitration panel.
74
Up-Wing filed a defamation case in the District Court of Hi-technology and Industry Development District, Tai'an City, Shandong province claiming defamation against Mr. Du and the 21st Century Economic Report Newspaper. Judgment in favor of Up-Wing was rendered on July 22, 2008 ordering the newspaper and Mr. Du to publish an apology to Up-Wing.
Mr. Du and Missile Engineering subsequently filed two actions in the Intermediate Court of Wuhan City, Hubei province, against Du Hai Shan, his brother, Beijing Chen Da and Logic Express, requesting that the court restore the equity interests originally held by the plaintiffs, 25% equity interest held by Mr. Du and 41% equity interest held by Missile Engineering and the court issued a preliminary order attaching 66% of the equity of Shandong Taibang pending the outcome of the case. On September 25, 2009, the Higher People's Court of Hubei overruled the Wuhan Intermediate Court's acceptance of jurisdiction over the case and ruled that the Tai'an Intermediate Court in Shandong Province, where the Company is located, had the proper jurisdiction over the parties' dispute. The court ruled that while the plaintiffs had the right to bring a lawsuit for the validity of the share transfer agreement because they did not attend the previous arbitration hearing and never reached an arbitration agreement regarding their dispute, the Tai'an Intermediate Court has the proper jurisdiction over the dispute pursuant to the prior agreement of the parties. As a result, the attached 66% of the equity of Shandong Taibang was released. On November 16, 2009, the Wuhan Intermediate Court permitted Mr. Du and Missile Engineering to withdraw their suits against Logic Express and the other defendants.
On September 30, 2010, the Company received a notice advising the Company that the PRC Supreme Court has accepted an appeal for judicial review of the Hubei High Court ruling dismissing the case. On November 2, 2010, the Company submitted its counter-argument and related materials to the PRC Supreme Court and is awaiting the court's ruling. Failure to resolve this dispute in our favor may adversely affect our business and operations.
Dispute over Raw Plasma Supply Agreement with Xintai
On March 10, 2009, Henan Xintai Medicine Company (previously known as Henan Zhongtai Medicine, Xintai) brought suit against Shandong Taibang and its two wholly-owned plasma collecting subsidiaries in Shandong for breach of a raw plasma supply agreement. The suit was subsequently withdrawn by Xintai on May 31, 2009. The agreement, signed by Shandong Taibang and Xintai on October 10, 2006, requires the two subsidiaries to provide to Xintai 45 metric tons of raw plasma per year from 2007 to 2009. The subsidiaries provided more than 34 metric tons of plasma to Xintai during 2007. However, the Company ceased its delivery of plasma to Xintai in late 2007 to avoid contravention of a new PRC regulation. Clause 43 of an October 31, 2007, PRC State Department Regulation on Plasma Collection Stations, prohibits plasma collecting stations from providing raw plasma to any manufacturer other than their direct parent (the Regulation). On March 12, 2009, Shandong Taibang filed a suit in the Shandong Tai'an Middle Court against Xintai seeking damages of RMB50,000 (approximately, $7,335) for the plasma already supplied to Xintai during 2007. On June 29, 2009, Xintai re-filed its suit in the Shandong Tai'an Middle Court against Shandong Taibang and the two subsidiaries seeking compensation of RMB6,000,000 (approximately, $880,200) for alleged breach of contract and demanding that Shandong Taibang and the subsidiaries continue to honor the agreement. On October 20, 2009, the Tai'an Middle Court combined and heard the two suits and ruled on January 20, 2010 in favor of Shandong Taibang on all accounts.
75
On February 17, 2010, Xintai appealed to the High Court of Shandong Province and on August 10, 2010, the High Court remanded the suit to the Taian Middle Court for retrial on grounds of insufficient evidence.
On November 8, 2010, the Company and Xintai reached an out of court settlement whereby Shandong Taibang agreed to pay Xintai RMB 4,000,000 (approximately $598,800), payable on or before November 22, 2010, and RMB 43,950 (approximately $6,430) in court costs. The Company has included the costs of its settlement agreement with Xintai under legal expenses as of September 30, 2010.
