CHINA SHENGHUO PHARMACEUTICAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
(a)   Nature of Business
 
China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc, (“CSPH”), incorporated in Delaware, United States of America, through its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), designs, develops, markets, sells and exports pharmaceutical, nutritional supplements and cosmetic products mainly in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company also conducts research and development using the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng, also known as Sanqi, Sanchi, or Tienchi, which is grown in two provinces in the PRC. Sales from the cosmetic products represent less than 10% of total sales of the Company.
 
(b)   Organization

The CSPH owns a 94.95% equity interest in Kunming Shenghuo Pharmaceuticals (Group) Co., Ltd. (“Shenghuo”). Shenghuo owns a 99% equity interest in Kunming Shenghuo Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Medicine”), a 99% equity interest in Kunming Pharmaceutical Importation and Exportation Co., Ltd. (“Import/Export”), a 98.18% interest in Kunming Shenghuo Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (“Cosmetic”).

On April 30, 2009, Shenghuo formed Shi Lin Shenghuo Co., Ltd. (“Shi Lin”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. Shi Lin was formed for the purpose of purchasing or leasing land suitable for cultivating the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng for use in the production of the Company’s medicinal products. As of December 31, 2010, Shi Lin does not generate any revenue.

On November 15, 2010, Shenghuo formed Kunming Shenghuo Hotel Management Co., Ltd. (“Hotel”). According to the investment agreement with an independent third party, Shenghuo holds 80% equity interest in Hotel. Hotel was formed to run the hotel business.

Except for CSPH, all other entities are formed in and operate within the PRC.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a)  Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2011 (“2010 Form 10-K”), and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate throughout the next twelve months as a going concern.  The Company’s consolidated current liabilities exceeded its consolidated current assets by approximate USD15,377,000 as of March 31, 2011 and USD15,326,000 as of December 31, 2010.  In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
 
4

 
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of the management of the Company (“Management”), all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.

(b)  Principle of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the CSPH and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interests represents the ownership interests in the subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the parent and are part of the equity of the consolidated group. The non-controlling interests are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the parent’s equity. Net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss is attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interests.  If losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity, the excess, and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interests, is attributed to those interests.

(c)  Accounts and notes receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original sale amounts less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.

Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether they are past due based on contractual terms and their carrying values have become impaired. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. 

Notes receivable represent bankers’ acceptances that have been arranged with third-party financial institutions by certain customers to settle their purchases from us. These bankers’ acceptances are non-interest bearing and are collectible within six months. Such sales and purchasing arrangements are consistent with industry practices in the PRC.

There are no outstanding amounts from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total balance of accounts receivable for the periods presented.

The Company entered into a factoring agreement with China Construction Bank (“CCB”), to transfer accounts receivable with full recourse. The Company is required to repurchase the transferred accounts receivable, if any controversy arises on the accounts receivable, at a price of proceeds received from CCB less settled accounts receivable plus interest and other necessary penalty or expense.  The Company accounts for its transferred accounts receivable in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, with the proceeds received from CCB being recognized as collateralized borrowings.

(d)  Advances from customers

Advances from customers consist of prepayment from customers for purchase of finished goods of the Company.

(e)  Income taxes

CSPH and its consolidated entities each files tax returns separately.
 
 
5

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which 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. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income tax in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

The Company is not subject to any income tax in the United States. Shenghuo is qualified to enjoy preferential tax rate under relevant PRC tax laws and regulations, with effective income tax rate of 10% in 2009, 11% in 2010 and 12% in 2011. From 2012, Shenghuo will be subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. All other subsidiaries in the PRC were subject to income tax at a rate of 25% for the periods presented.

(f)  Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605. All of the following criteria must exist in order for the Group to recognize revenue: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped to the wholesale companies, risk of loss has transferred to the wholesale companies and wholesale companies’ acceptance has been obtained, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in wholesale companies’ acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
 
In general, the Company does not allow wholesale companies to return products unless there are defects in manufacturing or workmanship. Sales returns are subject to a strict process and have to be authorized by Management. Sales returns are netted against sales when occurred. Historically, the amounts of sales returns have been immaterial.
 
(g)  Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.  The historical cost of acquiring an item of property, plant and equipment includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. If an item of property, plant and equipment requires a period of time in which to carry out the activities necessary to bring it to that condition and location, the interest cost incurred during that period as a result of expenditures for the item is a part of the historical cost. This item is categorized as construction in progress and is not depreciated until substantially all the activities necessary to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use are completed.
 
 
6

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Asset
 
Useful life (years)
   
Residual value %
 
Buildings
    25 - 30       5 %
Machinery
    3 - 20       0-5 %
Office equipment and furnishing
    3 - 10       0-5 %
Vehicles
    3 - 10       0-5 %

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.

The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

(h)  Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts and notes receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, advances from customers, other payables and accrued expenses, deposits payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management believes the interest rates on short-term notes payable and long-term debt reflect rates currently available in the PRC. Thus, the carrying value of these loans approximates fair value.
 
(i)  Recently enacted accounting standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued ASU No. 2011-01 through ASU 2011-03, which is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
NOTE 3–SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company has four major reportable segments, Medicine, Cosmetic, Hotel and Shi Lin. The Company’s reportable segments are based primarily on different type of business and represent the primary mode used to assess allocation of resources and performance. The Company evaluates its business segments primarily on the basis of segment earnings, with segment earnings defined as earnings before corporate expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest, income taxes and certain other items. The Company has no material inter-segment sales.

NOTE 6 – BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of other securities into common stock, but only if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include 246,000 warrants. However, since the average market price of the related common stock for these two periods exceeds the exercise price, the warrants are considered as no dilutive effect in computation of earnings per share.

Overview
 
We are primarily engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement and cosmetic products. Almost all of our products are derived from the medicinal herb Panax notoginseng, also known as Sanqi, Sanchi or Tienchi. Panax notoginseng is the root of the greyish-brown or greyish-yellow plant that only grows in a few geographic locations, among which is the Yunnan Province in southwest China, where we are located; this province accounts for 90% of the total global production. The main root of Panax notoginseng are cylindrical shaped and are most commonly one to six centimeters long and one to four centimeters in diameter. Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), the active ingredients in Panax notoginseng, are extracted from the plant using high-tech equipment and in accord with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Our main product, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, accounted for approximately 86% and 92% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

We have expanded our real estate owned and deployed in our pharmaceutical operations by 107,231 square feet. This is a result of the construction of our 29,212 square feet new 7-storey office building for our executives and administrative staff. We also built a 78,020 square feet 7-storey adjacent building to be used as a training facility for sales and marketing team, 12 Ways team and our staff’s continuing education.  We intend to rent out 3 storeys of that building among which 15,931 square feet has been rented out for 4 years since April 2011 with annual rental of RMB532,800 ($81,450) for the first year and 5% increment for each year in the next three years.

Shenghuo Plaza and Zhonghuang Hotel
 
With the substantial completion of Shenghuo Plaza at the end of 2010, we entered into a new business - the hotel and hospitality business. Shenghuo Plaza consists of 17-storey totaling approximately 252,984 square feet. Two floors of Shenghuo Plaza are designed to be utilized as 12 Ways Chinese Herbal Beauty Demonstration Center. In the center, we will use 12 Ways cosmetics to demonstrate how to keep beautiful and healthy, provide a variety of services, including acupuncture, body massage, foot massage and train our professional beauticians. The Company believes this center is helpful to promote 12 Ways’ brand recognition and the sales of 12 Ways cosmetics. In addition, 12 Ways beauty products will be prominently displayed in the lobby of the Shenghuo Plaza in order to expose them to tourists and business clienteles. The balance of Shenghuo Plaza is used as a business hotel - Zhonghuang Hotel, restaurant and banquet facilities and an entertainment venue.  The hotel is designed as per 4-star hotel standards. The market focus of the hotel is tour groups, business people, business conferences, wedding banquet, business banquet, and ancillary services. The Company believes that Shenghuo Plaza is a sound investment that will generate cash flow to support the R&D and the pharmaceutical business of the Company. On November 15, 2010, we formed Shenghuo Hotel Management of which we hold 80% equity interest, while Tianzhiheng Hotel Management Co., Ltd. ("Tianzhiheng") holds 20% equity interest, to operate the hotel together. Tianzhiheng is a professional hotel management company with rich experiences in hotel operation. The Company believes the cooperation with Tianzhiheng can complement the Company's lack of experience in the hotel management business and help the Company to operate the hotel better. While we have not conducted any appraisal, we believe that Shenghuo Plaza can be valued at approximately RMB 250 million (approximately $38.1 million). Shenghuo Plaza has begun trial operations since January 2011 with certain interior decorating and outfitting being carried out on those floors not yet ready for guest occupancy. The other floors are now open to the public on a trial basis. The entire Shenghuo Plaza will be formally open to the public after we obtain our business license. According to the hotel industry practice in China, a hotel is allowed to be in trial operation for about half a year without a business license. In order to get the business license for Shenghuo Plaza, we must obtain the Inner Decoration Examination Certificate, Inner Building Environment Examination Certificate and Building Completion Examination Certificate which we expect to get by the end of this May, and the property ownership certificate which we expect to get in July. With a property ownership certificate, we intend to use Shenghuo Plaza and the two new office buildings as collateral for a new loan amounting to RMB 100 million (approximately 15 million) to finance the Xinglin International Health-Preserving Tourist Resort discussed below. We expect Shenghuo Plaza to generate approximately RMB 8 million (approximately $ 1.2 million) in annual net income commencing with the fiscal year of 2011. This cash flow will allow us to support our R&D development and otherwise advance our pharmaceutical operations. $0.3 million has been infused into Shenghuo Plaza and Zhonghuang Hotel for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and since the construction has been substantially completed as of March 31, 2011, no significant further expenditure would be expected.
 
As of March 31, 2011, we incurred a cost of approximately RMB 102.7 million (approximately $15.7 million) to build Shenghuo Plaza and the two new office buildings.  After we obtain a property ownership certificate of Shenghuo Plaza, we intend to use Shenghuo Plaza and the two new office buildings as collateral for a new loan amounting to RMB 100 million (approximately 15 million) to finance the Xinglin International Health-Preserving Tourist Resort discussed below.

Xinglin International Health-Preserving Tourist Resort
 
We are also expanding into the businesses of wellness tourism. On April 30, 2009, we formed Shilin Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of purchasing or leasing land to build our own medicinal herb planting base. On September 8, 2010, we signed an agreement with Management Commission of Kunming Shilin Taiwan Farmer Entrepreneur Centre (“Entrepreneur Centre”) to lease a piece of land located near the Stone Forest which has been recognized as a world natural heritage. With an area of 437.9 acres (2,658 Mu), the land will be used to construct a Traditional Chinese Medicine-based ecological wellness tourism destination that focuses on improving the health and extending the life expectancy of the elderly and introduce TCM culture - Xinglin International Health-Preserving Tourist Resort (the “Resort”). In the Resort, approximately 250.4 acres (1,520 Mu) are devoted to planting suitable-for-cultivating Sanchi and other medicinal herbs for use in the production of our medicinal products in 2011. The rest of the property will be used to build exhibition facilities which emphasize TCM culture, a temple, a TCM museum and apartments for elderly people.

In an effort to reduce costs of raw materials used in our medicinal products, we expect to grow the medicinal herb Banlangen, which is used in the production of our Banlangen Tablets/Grains, on 164.7 acres (1,000 Mu) and construct green houses in which the medicinal herb Sanqi will ultimately be grown on 3.3 acres (20 Mu) in 2011 within the Resort.

The total operating lease amounted to approximately RMB 30.6 million (equals to approximately $ 4.7 million) with a lease term of 20 years. Our operating lease commitment is approximately $0.23 million for each of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and approximately $3.4 million for 2015.

In January of 2011, we submitted the plan of programming and design of the Resort.  It was approved by the Urban and Rural Planning Committee of Shilin County, which consists of, among others, the Secretary of Shilin County Party Committee, the head of Shilin County, deputy head of Shilin County, Construction Bureau, Land and Resource Bureau, Finance Bureau, Environment Protection Bureau of Shilin County and Management Commission of Kunming Shilin Taiwan Farmer Entrepreneur Centre and so on, on March, 22, 2011. We anticipate that the whole Resort project will take 5 years to complete.  $91,180 has been infused into the Resort for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately $3.7 million (equals to approximately RMB 24 million) is expected to be infused into the Resort during the rest of 2011.

New drug pipeline 

 
·
Wei Dingkang Soft Capsules - a type of traditional Chinese medicine designed to treat peptic ulcer disease by inhibiting bacterial growth, relieving stomach muscle spasms, and reducing inflammation of the intestinal lining. The product is designed to be effective for upset stomach, vomiting, pain and degradation of the stomach lining. The product has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for clinical testing. Phase II clinical trials were completed in December 2007, after which the phase II exploratory and enhanced clinical trials have commenced and completed in 2010.  However, due to the changes in clinical trials requirements, presently we are still making preparations for the phase III clinical trials which will be conducted in the second quarter of 2011. We anticipate Phase III clinical trials will be completed by the first half of 2012, after that the application for production approval will start. We expect to obtain production approval by the end of 2012 or the beginning of 2013. We expect to incur an estimated cost of approximately RMB 4 million (approximately $0.6 million) to run Phase III clinical trials in 2011 and 2012.

·
Dencichine for Injection - is designed to treat hemorrhage diseases, such as stop or reduce bleeding during/after operations. The pharmacology and toxicology studies are almost finished and the results demonstrate that Dencichine for Injection shows high effectiveness and high safety both in our internal animal models tests and the test conducted by Nanjing Evaluation and Research Center. We are planning to apply for clinical trials for it to State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA). Assuming required governmental approvals are obtained in a timely fashion, we anticipate that production and marketing of the product will begin in 2013. Dencichine for Injection is a drug requiring extensive testing by the national SFDA, including neurotoxicity testing, which may take a significant amount of time. In addition, clinical testing and audit processes are out of our control, so we must allow for additional time.  We expect to incur approximately RMB 300,000 (approximately $45,590) in 2011 and approximately RMB 2 to 3 million (approximately $0.3 million to $0.5 million) in 2012 and 2013 in connection with clinical trials.
 
Sh1002 - is designed to treat one of complications of diabetes mellitus: retinal vascular lesions. We submitted Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for Sh1002 to FDA in October 2010 and have been approved to start IND study after December 24, 2010. The application for clinical trials for Sh1002 in America has also been approved by FDA and the Phase I clinical trial is expected to start in April 2011. We plan to conduct the Phase I and Phase II clinical trials in America and then license our technology to a foreign pharmaceutical company, while retaining the China domestic marketing and the global manufacturing right of Sh1002. We expect to incur approximately $300,000 for Phase I clinical trial in 2011 and approximately $2 million for Phase II clinical trials in 2012.

On September 22, 2010 the Company received notice from NYSE Amex LLC (the “NYSE Amex” or “Exchange”)   Staff indicating that the Company is below certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards due to the fact that its stockholder’s equity is less than $2,000,000, it has sustained losses from continuing operations, and it has net losses in two out its three most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange to demonstrate its ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 22, 2012. On October 29, 2010 and November 29, 2010, the Company presented its plan and responses to supplemental questions to the Exchange.

On December 6, 2010 the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted the Company’s plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until March 22, 2012 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to periodic review by Exchange Staff during the extension period.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the stockholder’s equity reached approximately $2.2 million and $2.0 million and the Company has regained compliance with the continued listing standards ahead of more than one year.

We earn revenues mainly from the production and sale of our products and external processing. We hope to increase profits as a result of making new products and increasing sales, since the sale of products is our main source for generating cash. Our business involves a significant degree of risk as a result of the opportunities and challenges we face in selling our products. We have traditionally focused on research and development of products serving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, peptic ulcer disease and health products markets.  However, we intend to devote additional resources to research and development and to continue to evaluate and develop additional high-tech product candidates to expand our pipeline where we perceive an unmet need and commercial potential and to improve existing products to enhance their efficacy.

With intense price competition among many similar or identical products in the industry, we believe that building brand equity is the primary means to generate and sustain profitable growth in the future. Our brand strategy is centered on “Lixuwang” - the brand under which our main product “Xuesaitong” Soft Capsule is sold and “Shenhuo” - the brand under which most of our products are sold. "Lixuwang", the trademark of Xuesaitong Soft Capsule, was awarded the Chinese Well-Known Trademark Honor by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China in 2010. This prestigious award gives China Shenghuo green path in anti-counterfeit campaign and intellectual property protection. We believe that our relationships within the Chinese pharmaceutical industry are key to building brand equity, and we believe we can benefit from developing and maintaining relationships with professionals within the industry, especially physicians and hospitals.

Since 2005, our primary product, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules has been listed in Part B of the State Insurance Catalogue. Xuesaitong Soft Capsules represented approximately 86% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  In addition to the State Insurance Catalogue, each of the 31 Chinese provinces establishes its own provincial insurance catalogue (each, a “PIC”). A drug listed on the PIC will result in the patient purchasing such drug to receive the same 90% reimbursement as if such drug were listed on Part B of the State Insurance Catalogue.  In November 2009, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in China announced the updated State Insurance Catalogue, which took effect on July 1, 2010.  Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, our primary product, was not included in Part B of the State Insurance Catalogue.  Banlangen Tablets, Dansheng Tablets and Sulfadiazine Silver Ointment remain listed in the updated State Insurance Catalogue.  In order to mitigate the negative impact the removal from the State Insurance Catalogue may have on the Company, we have applied for provincial listing in 31 provinces. As of May 10, 2011, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules has been listed in the 2010 Provincial Insurance Catalogs of the following sixteen provinces: Tianjin, Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan, Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Anhui, Guangdong, Yunnan, Beijing, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu and Hunan.  The total percentage of sales derived from Xuesaitong Soft Capsules in these provinces account for 72% in 2010 and 78.7 % for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Xuesaitong Soft Capsules has been delisted from the 2010 Provincial Insurance Catalogs of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Shangdong,Shanxi,  Chongqing, Hubei, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Guizhou and Qinghai provinces and city where it generates a sales of 28% in 2010 and 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The 2010 Provincial Insurance Catalogs for the rest of the three provinces have not been announced. Thus, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules remains listed on their 2009 Provincial Insurance Catalogs and patients continue to be reimbursed. The sales of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules generated in these provinces account for 0.5% in 2010 and 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Xuesaitong Soft Capsules accounted for approximately 90.9% of the Company's revenues in 2010. Should the Company fail to receive provincial approval in the major provinces in which it is sold, such failure could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Company is in the process of developing a pipeline of proprietary formulations of other drug compounds. However, such formulations have not been finalized or submitted to State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) for review and approval. This process is time-consuming and capital intensive and there is no assurance that SFDA will accept the data presented by the Company without requiring additional data and that, ultimately, the application for drug approval will be successful. Therefore, in the near term the Company is dependent on the sales of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules and on the efforts to get it listed on the Provincial Insurance Catalogs of the rest of the three provinces.

Further, the Department of Heath in China, which makes an independent assessment of the drugs available, publishes a “State Essential Drug List” as to what drugs are basic and prevalent and can satisfy the ordinary need for drugs to all the people. Patients purchasing medicines included in the “State Essential Drug List” are entitled to reimbursement of 90% of the costs of such medicines from the social medical fund in accordance with relevant regulations in China. In addition to the State Essential Drug List, each of the 31 Chinese provinces is entitled to add about 100 drugs to its own Provincial Essential Drug List. A drug listed on the provincial list will result in the patient purchasing such drug to receive the same 90% reimbursement. The Company’s Xuesaitong Soft Capsule was listed on the “State Essential Drug List” in 2000 and 2004 which was updated every four years.  Xuesaitong Soft Capsule was not included in the State Essential Drug List updated in 2009 but has been listed in the Provincial Essential Drug List of the following four provinces and cities - Yunnan, Henan, Hunan and Tianjin.

The wholesale and retail prices of medicines that are included in the national and provincial insurance catalogs are subject to price controls administered by the Price Control Office under the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, or their provincial price control authorities. Since Xuesaitong Soft Capsules is no longer listed in the 2010 State Insurance Catalog and the 2010 Provincial Insurance Catalogs of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Shangdong and Shanxi, Chongqing, Hubei, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Guizhou and Qinghai provinces and cities, it is no longer subject to the state price control and provincial price controls in that twelve provinces. However, since Xuesaitong Soft Capsules is still listed in the insurance catalogs of the rest of the nineteen provinces, its price is still subject to price control administered by the price control authorities in those provinces. Xuesaitong Soft Capsules is primarily sold in China, but the product is also sold in various developing countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan. Sales of the product in China are regulated by the SFDA as a prescription drug and therefore must be sold to consumers through hospital pharmacies and cannot be advertised, thus limiting the ability of the Company to market the brand. We sell Xuesaitong Soft Capsules to wholesale companies who resell them to hospital pharmacies. Our three largest customers are Beijing Shangyao Aixin Weiye Medicine Co., Ltd.; Yunnan Medicine, Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Zhongxing Medicine Co., Ltd., all of which accounted for 4.6%, 7.6% and 16.7% of our sales for the period ended March 31, 2011.

We have established sales offices in many cities in China that manage sales representatives according to our internal management rules and sales policy. Because the main product “Xuesaitong” capsule is sold to hospitals through regional wholesale companies located in the various cities of China and because China has thousands of wholesale companies, we employ a large number of sales representatives to expand into new markets and gain new customers.

As of March 31, 2011, our medicine marketing team maintains sales offices in approximately 25 provinces throughout China. The sales network covers approximately 215 cities and is staffed by approximately 693 sales representatives. We intend to grow our internal marketing and sales function and increase our relationships with other national wholesale companies to expand the distribution and presence of our non-prescription brands and cosmetics.

We started to expand our business into the OTC market in selected areas around China since 2009. The gross sales of Lixuwang in the OTC market in Yunnan province amounted to RMB 2.5 million, resulting in a gross profit realized by the Company of approximately RMB1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Based on these positive results, we will continue to expand our presence in the OTC market during the rest of 2011 in provinces such as Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Liaoning, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Guangxi and Zhejiang. The Company reimburses the sales representatives their accrued selling expenses when related accounts receivable are collected.

We hope to further expand sales beyond China into other countries where our products could be affordable treatment options. We intend to focus on the expansion of our cosmetics product line and devote additional marketing and sales resources to that end with the aim that our cosmetics products will account for a larger percentage of our revenue in the future.

Our business is capital intensive, and these research and development, marketing, sales network expansion and cosmetic product expansion initiatives will require us to expend significant cash resources, which could adversely affect our profitability and liquidity. We do face certain challenges and risks, including our relatively high debt ratio, which is one of our main risks. We have encountered a shortage of working capital and are exploring possible ways to address our short and long term cash needs.

We believe that among the most important economic or industry-wide factors relevant to our growth in the short term is the reform of the medical system in China and the adjustment of medicine prices, which will affect the sale of our main product, Xuesaitong Soft Capsules, in hospitals. In order to increase long-term growth, we have applied for the designation of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules as a medicine with “good quality worthy of high price,” which we received in February 2007. Currently, the Chinese government supports the medical system in urban and rural communities.

According to data from the China State Statistical Bureau, the total retail sales of Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM") and western medicines in China grew 23.5% on a year-over-year basis in 2010. This growth was driven by a number of favorable factors including the reform of the medical system in China, improving standards of living from an increase in disposable income, an aging population, the improving access and higher participation in the State Basic Medical Insurance System, and the increase in government spending on public health care.

In January 21, 2009, the Chinese government announced a healthcare reform plan proposing the government spend upward of RMB850 billion over the next three years to make medical services and products more affordable and accessible to the entire population. We believe the successful implementation of the policies outlined in the plan will have a significant impact on the domestic pharmaceutical sector. There are five key tasks the healthcare reforms are aiming to address: 1) to expand medical insurance coverage and increase participation rate, 2) set up a national basic drug system, 3) establishment of an extensive public health system, 4) increasing the efficiency and improve the quality of basic medical services, especially in the rural areas, and 5) reform state-owned hospitals.

TCM, including prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, have been widely used in China for many years and are an important part of the overall Chinese culture. The recently announced healthcare reform plan contains measures and policies that we believe will help support and promote the growth and development of the domestic TCM market. TCM drug manufacturers are likely to benefit from this reform as we believe the government will add more TCM-related drugs to the national medicine catalog. In addition, we expect the government will focus on disease prevention as it rolls out the nationwide medical insurance coverage. The TCM market is a vibrant and growing industry despite the challenging economic environment and it will remain a part of mainstream medicine in China.

We hope to stabilize the sales channel into hospitals and widen the reach of sales in urban and rural communities at the same time. Large increases in medicine sales at an average lower price will ensure the growth of general medicinal sales over the next few years. Also, we are focusing our efforts on developing better channels for selling our products to expand our revenue and to counter fierce market competition. To that extend, we began to build relationships with new high-quality sales agents and terminate our relationships with sales agent with poor historical performances during 2009. We believe that this shift will provide a sound foundation for our operations going forward.

Our 12 WaysTM Chinese Traditional Medicine Beauty Salon Series (“12 Ways”) cosmetic products are sold in a number of cities and provinces outside our local region. We have opened a number of retail specialty counters to offer our cosmetic products at pharmacies throughout Eastern China, eventually expanding our retail presence across China. As of March 31, 2011, we have opened approximately 1050 retail specialty counters in more than 50 cities throughout China, including main cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jinan, Weifang Shenzhen and Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo, Golmud, Zibo, Luzhou, Sanmenxia, Daqing, Lanzhou, Chongqing, Kunming and so on. In addition, we are building a 12 Ways Chinese Herbal Beauty Demonstration Center by using two floors of Shenghuo Plaza. In the center, we will use 12 Ways cosmetics to demonstrate how to keep beautiful and healthy, provide a variety of services, including acupuncture, body massage, foot massage and other services and train our professional beauticians. Management hopes that the opening of this center and the opening of retail counters will allow us to increase our brand recognition and strengthen marketing. Our ability to effectively open and operate new retail locations depends on several factors, including, among others, our ability to identify suitable counter locations, the availability of which is outside our control; our ability to prepare counters for opening within budget; our ability to hire, train and retain personnel; our ability to secure required governmental permits and approvals; our ability to contain payroll costs; and our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flows or secure adequate capital on commercially reasonable terms to fund short term cash needs and our expansion plans.

There is potential for growth in production and sales due to the growth of new products and expansion of new channels into urban and rural communities. However, it will be uncertain which of our new products will pass the applicable tests and get clinical approval without difficulty because of the uncertainty of test results and clinical approvals. Over the last three years, the price of the main raw material we use - Sanchi - has been fluctuating, which will likely increase our cost of product sold. In addition, our expected increased expenses for research and development, marketing and sales may have an adverse affect on future profit levels and available cash resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We consider the policies discussed below as critical to understanding our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, since financial reporting results rely on estimates of the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In instances where different estimates could have reasonably been used, we disclosed the impact of these different estimates on our operations. In certain instances, like revenue recognition, the accounting rules are prescriptive; therefore, it would not have been possible to reasonably use different estimates. Changes in assumptions and estimates are reflected in the period in which they occur. The impact of such changes could be material to our results of operations and financial condition in any quarterly or annual period.

Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout the MD&A, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are reviewed periodically as to whether they are past due based on contractual terms and their carrying values have become impaired. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and financial health of specific customers. We have considered all available information in our assessments of the adequacy of the provision for doubtful accounts and we do not expect there would be significant changes on conditions that would result in material effect on the allowance estimation. We will continue to assess our receivable portfolio in light of the current economic environment and its impact on our estimation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Income Taxes and Tax Valuation Allowances

We follow Statement of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which 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. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase the valuation allowance against all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets resulting in a substantial adverse impact on our operating results

Sales: Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $9.4 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 19%, from approximately $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in sales was primarily due to the Company’s main product Xuesaitong’s sales increasing in Tianjin City and Yunnan Province as Xuesaitong was listed on the PIC list of Tianjin City since the second quarter in 2010 and the Company strengthened sales promotion in Yunnan Province.
 
Cost of goods sold: Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $3.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 83%, from approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the increase of purchase price of Sanqi which is the main raw material of our main product Xuesaitong. In addition, the Zhonghuang Hotel began trial operation since January 2011 which has contributed $0.4 million to the increase of cost of goods sold.
 
Gross profit: Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $5.6 million as compared with approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 59.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 14.0% from 73.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the increase of cost of goods sold set forth above.
 
Selling expense: Selling expenses were approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 19%, from approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in selling expenses was due to decrease of commission to sales representative as a result of change of sales commission policy which took effect since the second quarter of 2010.
 
We reimburse the sales representatives their selling and marketing expenses when they submit the appropriate documentation to be reimbursed and their sales are collected. We reimburse the sales representatives their accrued selling expenses when related accounts receivable are collected.
 
General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million, or 51%, from approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase of the management’s traveling expenses for expanding our sales channel. In addition, Zhonghuang Hotel began trial operation since January 2011 which has contributed $78,733 to the increase of general and administrative expense.
 
Research and development expense: Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $121,725, as compared to $80,851 for the period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $40,874. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the expenditures for outside experts for the Sh1002’s registration to FDA since late 2009.

Other expenses: Other expenses were $306,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which consisted of interest expense and non-operating expense, off set by subsidy income, interest income and non-operating income, an increase of $263,879, or 614%, from $43,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was mainly due to less subsidy income from provincial government as compared the same period in 2010.
 
Income tax (expense) benefit: Income tax expense was $14,980 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to income tax benefit of $29,984 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The tax expense was mainly for tax accrued for the profit of the Company.

Net income attributable to stockholders: Net income increased to $99,373 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2,355 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Offset by the increase in raw material price and the expenses related to the trial operation of Shenghuo Plaza, the increase in net income was primarily due to decrease of selling expenses as a result of decrease of sales commission to sales representatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General - As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.4 million. In the period ended March 31, 2011, the Company achieved a net income of $85,701 although we suffered sharp increase of raw material’s price from 2010. Our consolidated current liabilities exceeded its consolidated current assets by approximately $15.4 million as of March 31, 2011, and approximately $15.3 million as of December 31, 2010. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. We have historically financed our business operations through bank loans, in addition to equity offerings. Management believe that the Company can continue as a going concern with loans from bank and cash generated from operation.

For the period ended March 31, 2011, we had net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $2.6 million, an increase of over approximately $0.6 million from approximately $2.0 million for the period ended March 31, 2010. We believe that we would be able to obtain more cash flows from operating activities by strengthen control on working capital management.

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decrease in commission paid to sales representatives.
 
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to net cash used in the amount of approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to decreases in capital expenditures, specifically, the construction of Shenghuo Plaza.

Financing Activities: Net cash used by financing activities was $593,741 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to net cash provided in the amount of $72,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the decrease of loans borrowed from banks.

Working Capital Deficiency

Our consolidated current liabilities exceeded our consolidated current assets by approximately $15.4 million as of March 31, 2011 and $15.3 million as of December 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, our net accounts and notes receivable (less allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.3 million) were approximately $13.7 million, an increase of approximately $2.2 million, from approximately $11.5 million (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $2.3 million) as of December 31, 2010 which is in line with the increase in sales.

Before 2009, we made significant cash advances to our sales representatives to assist and encourage them to expand the marketing and sales of our products into new markets and to develop new customers. We believed that the sales representatives would be better able to expand into new markets and to secure new customers if they were advanced funds for their travel, meals and other incidental expenses that arose in connection with their sales activities. Prior to September 2006, we did not ask sales representatives to pay off advances immediately because the Chinese economy has grown quickly and because competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Instead, we encouraged sales representatives to expand their markets and gain more customers. However, beginning in September 2006, we began to more vigorously pursue collection of all sales representative advances. Nonetheless, there are some sales representative advances that have aged so significantly that, based on prior experience, we do not expect to collect on every outstanding advance and have estimated the uncollectible balance based on the age of the advances. Pursuant to the policies adopted at the beginning of 2009, instead of advancing sales representatives money to sustain or develop markets, we reimburse sales representatives their selling and marketing expenses when they present expense vouchers. Management considers this a better way to manage the potential for bad debts on the advances to sales representatives. We pay the accrued selling expenses only when we collect an account receivable for which a sales representative has presented his expense receipts. Because we offer a grace period of one to three months to our clients for remitting payments due, the accrued sales expenses may remain outstanding as long as it takes to collect the corresponding accounts receivable.

As of March 31, 2011, our accounts payable were approximately $8.2 million, a decrease of approximately $0.8 million, from approximately $9.0 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease of accounts payable is mainly attributed to decrease for payable for the construction of new buildings.

Our payment cycle is considerably shorter than our receivable cycle, since we typically pay our suppliers all or a portion of the purchase price in advance and for some suppliers we must maintain a deposit for future orders. We require our sales representatives to pay a certain percentage of the sales price as deposit before we deliver the products to the customers. The deposits were approximately $4.8 million as of March 31, 2011 and approximately $4.9 million as of December 31, 2010.

Other payables and accrued expense, mainly consisted of accrued commission payable to the sales representatives, increased by approximately $1.4 million, from approximately $9.7 million as of December 31, 2010 to approximately $11.1 million as of March 31, 2011 due to the net effect of payment and accrual for commission for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

To the extent that we cannot satisfy our cash needs, whether from operations or from a financing source, our business may be impaired in that it may be difficult for us to obtain products which could, in turn, impair our ability to generate sales. We have implemented new policies aimed at improving collection of accounts receivable in the future, including more detailed reporting from and increased control over provincial sales offices and representatives, incentives for sales representatives more closely tied to timely collection and more stringent enforcement of payment terms with wholesale companies or distributors. We will continue to accelerate the collection of trade receivables and shorten the turnover days.

In April 2011, we have signed loan agreement with Fudian Bank and obtained a short-term borrowing amounting to RMB8 million (approximately $1.2 million) which will mature on April 21, 2012.

Further, in May, 2010, we renewed the factoring agreement with China Construction Bank (the “CCB”) to transfer our accounts receivable with full recourse and the proceeds received from CCB being recognized as collateralized borrowings. Under this renewed factoring agreement, CCB agrees to provide the Company a maximum of approximately RMB 28.8 million (equal to approximately $4.4 million) factoring advance until May 4, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, short-term borrowings, amounting to approximately RMB 13 million (approximately $2.0 million), were collateralized by accounts receivable, amounting to approximately RMB 16.2 million (approximately $2.5 million) under this factoring agreement.  This factoring agreement was renewed again in May, 2011. Under this renewed factoring agreement, CCB agrees to provide the Company a maximum of RMB30.4 million ($4.6 million) factoring advance between May 5, 2011 and May 4, 2012.

The completion of Shenghuo Plaza is expected to generate more cash flows and increase our ability to obtain additional financing from banks. Considering the financial resources presently available, we are confident that we have sufficient working capital for our present requirements and for at least the next 12 months. We will continue to make efforts to expand our sales to get more cash flow.

However, we may require additional capital for acquisitions, for expanding business to related fields, or for the operation of the subsidiaries and there is no assurance that such funding will be available. Please see Note 5 –Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitment and Arrangements

On September 8, 2010, the Company signed an agreement with Management Commission of Kunming Shilin Taiwan Farmer Entrepreneur Centre to lease land for planting suitable-for-cultivating medicinal herb for use in the production of the Company’s medicinal products and to construct a health preserving zone and travel service center. The total operating lease amounted to approximately $4.7 million with a lease term of 20 years. Up to approximately $ 4.3 million under this lease agreement would be paid in the coming 5 years.

The Company plans to pay the lease expense by using the cash flow from our operation.

Except as aforementioned, the Company does not have any outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. In addition, the Company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In our ongoing business, we do not enter into transactions involving, or otherwise form relationships with, unconsolidated entities or financials partnerships that are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
Since all of our operations are conducted in the PRC, we are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our operational results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to medical reforms and other laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC. In addition, all of our revenue is denominated in the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of the PRC. Both the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government. The effect of the fluctuations of exchange rates is not considered to be material to our business operations.

Interest Rate Risk
 
We do not have significant interest rate risk, as our debt obligations are primarily fixed interest rates.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Messrs. Gui Hua Lan and Mr. Raymond Wang respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Lan and Mr. Wang concluded that despite improvements in areas of previously identified weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified (described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010), our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 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
 
Class Action Lawsuit – In 2008, putative class action lawsuits were asserted against the Company and certain other parties in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). On February 12, 2009, an amended complaint was served on the Company by new lead counsel for the class, consolidating the putative class actions and bearing the caption Beni Varghese, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated v. China Shenghuo Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc., et al., Index No. 1:08 CIV. 7422.
