Item 1. Business

Overview

China Pharma Holdings, Inc. (formerly, TS Electronics, Inc. and prior thereto, Softstone, Inc.) was incorporated on January 28, 1999, pursuant to the provisions of the General Corporation Act of the State of Delaware. On May 31, 1999, we merged with Soft Stone Building Products, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation that was a predecessor to our Company’s business. Our initial business operations were conducted at 620 Dallas Drive, Denton TX, 76205. On February 1, 2000, we moved our offices and facilities to Ardmore, OK. In June 2002, we moved our office facilities to Pottsboro, TX. On August 13, 2003, we changed our name to TS Electronics, Inc. On March 15, 2006, we changed our name from TS Electronics, Inc. to China Pharma Holdings, Inc.

Our focus initially was solely on realizing the commercial benefits of a process developed and patented by our first president, Frederick Parker. This process converted waste tires into useful products. We were not successful in promoting this business, wrote off all assets associated with the business and shifted our attention to the commercial possibilities of a then, newly discovered devulcanization process to which we acquired a 5.5 year exclusive license for the Western Hemisphere. In addition, we entered into the business of importing hard-to-find and specialty crumb rubber. We were also not successful in these endeavors and have abandoned all efforts regarding these pursuits.

Effective August 11, 2004, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Hou Xiao, the sole stockholder of China ESCO Holdings Limited (“China ESCO”), a company organized in the Hong Kong Special Administration Region in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AsiaNet PE Systems Limited. China ESCO was engaged in the development and manufacturing of electrical energy saving systems and products in the PRC.

The consummation of the transaction with China ESCO was subject to a number of conditions, including receipt by us of financial statements of China ESCO as required under applicable regulations, and satisfaction of all applicable regulatory requirements. In January 2005, we declared China ESCO to be in material breach of the agreement and rescinded the agreement.

Effective February 8, 2005, we executed a Letter of Intent with Osage Energy Company, LLC (“Osage”) whereby Osage would acquire 90% of the equity interests of the Company. This transaction was never consummated by the parties. The Company had no operations or significant assets from the quarter ended December 31, 2004 until May 2005.

 

On May 11, 2005, we sold to Halter Financial Group, Inc., in a private placement, 1,875,045 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.1066641 per share, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The private placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereunder. As a result of the purchase, Halter Financial Group, Inc. became our controlling stockholder, owning approximately 75% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Immediately subsequent to, and as a result of, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Gene F. Boyd, Keith P. Boyd, Fredrick W. Parker and Leo G. Templer resigned as officers and directors, as applicable, of the Company. Timothy P. Halter was concurrently appointed as a member of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Halter was elected as President, Chief Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company.

On October 19, 2005 we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Onny Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and its original stockholders pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Onny from said stockholders in exchange for 27,499,940 shares of our common stock. Upon the closing of the exchange transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”), Onny became the wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. The Exchange Agreement also provides that, upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock, the Company shall issue to Heung Mei Tsui, the principal stockholder of Onny, an additional 4,723,056 shares of common stock (the “Post Closing Shares”) to which she would otherwise have been entitled if the Company had enough authorized shares as of the closing of the Exchange Transaction.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, Onny completed a private placement (the “Onny Offering”) of its convertible preferred stock to 46 accredited investors. The Onny Offering raised gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Additionally, immediately prior to the Exchange Transaction, participants in the Onny Offering exchanged their preferred shares for an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Onny’s common stock. Participants in the Onny Offering then participated in the Exchange Transaction by exchanging such 10,000 shares of common stock for 6,944,619 shares of our common stock.

On March 15, 2006, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000 shares and filed the Information Statement in accordance with Section 14 of the Exchange Act. On May 16, 2006, the Company issued to Heung Mei Tsui an additional 4,723,056 shares of common stock as provided in the Exchange Agreement. Upon the issuance of the Post Closing Shares, Ms. Tsui holds 25,278,385 shares or approximately 72.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

On July 24, 2006, Zhilin Li, Heung Mei Tsui and the Company entered into that certain Stock Transfer Agreement, as amended on November 24, 2006, pursuant to which Heung Mei Tsui transferred 10,000,000 shares of her personal holdings of the Company’s common stock to Zhilin Li in exchange for a sublicense to a patent held by a third party, which is licensed to Ms. Li. After the aforementioned stock transfer, Ms. Tsui holds 15,278,385 shares or 44.0% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock. Ms. Li holds 10,000,000 shares or 28.8% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock. 

On February 1, 2007, we completed an offering pursuant to a Subscription and Registration Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) with 17 accredited investors in connection with a private placement of 2,505,882 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.7 per share (“2007 Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investors also received three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,252,941 shares of Company's common stock at $2.38 per share. Pursuant to the transaction on February 1, 2007, we received the subscription proceeds in the aggregate amount of $4,259,900. The net proceeds, after deduction of related offering expenses of $ 462,717, amounted to $3,797,183. In December 2007, the Company received proceeds of $119,000 upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. The remaining warrants issued in conjunction with the offering to buy 1,202,941 shares of common stock have not been exercised at December 31, 2007 or 2008.

On September 27, 2007, Heung Mei Tsui and the Company entered into four Stock Transfer Agreements with Chipiu Wong, Ruofeng Xu, Yao Huang and Jian Yang respectively, pursuant to which, Heung Mei Tsui transferred in aggregate 4,465,734 shares of the Company's common stock at the price of $1.52 per share to the four individuals. After the aforementioned stock transfer, Ms. Tsui holds 10,812,651 shares or 29.0% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

In May 2008, the Company completed an offering of units priced at $2.00 per unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one-quarter of a share of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.80 per share (“2008 Private Placement”). The Company issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock and issued three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Company's common stock to 17 accredited investors. We received the subscription proceeds in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000. The net proceeds, after deduction of related offering expenses of $ 731,061.70, amounted to $ 9,268,938.30. In addition, the placement agent in the transaction was issued three-year warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.98 per share.

On June 24, 2008, the Company issued to FirsTrust Group, Inc. three-year warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.80 per share and three-year warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.60 per share. The Company issued the above warrants as equity compensation under the Consulting Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement entered into between the Company and FirsTrust China Ltd. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of FirsTrust Group, Inc.).

On the same date, the Company issued to Hayden Communications International, Inc. three-year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.00 per share and three-year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.50 per share.

The Company issued these warrants as part of the equity compensation under the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement, which was terminated by the Company in August 2008.

Onny

Onny Investment Limited (“Onny”) was incorporated on January 12, 2005 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. At the time of its incorporation, Onny’s authorized capital was $50,000 and there were 50,000 shares of one class and one series of capital stock, $1.00 par value, issued and outstanding. Heung Mei Tsui was, at the time of incorporation, the sole stockholder and director of Onny. On August 18, 2005, Onny increased its authorized capital to $5,000,000 divided into 40,000 ordinary shares of capital stock, $100.00 par value, and 10,000 preferred shares, $100.00 par value. As of the date of this Form 10-K, there are 39,700 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Company. No preferred shares of Onny are currently issued and outstanding.

On May 25, 2005, Onny acquired all the equity interests in Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in exchange for the assumption of obligations to make cash payments to the Helpson shareholders in the form of common stock dividends from Helpson of $4,154,041, the assumption of $4,646,409 of other liabilities and the issuance of non-interest bearing promissory notes totaling $3,413,265 payable three months after Helpson obtains a business license in the PRC as a wholly foreign owned entity. Effective as of June 21, 2005, Onny became the sole stockholder of Helpson, and Helpson became a wholly foreign-owned enterprise as defined by PRC law.

On October 19, 2005, Onny completed the Onny Offering. Under the terms of the Onny Offering, Heung Mei Tsui agreed to escrow 6,944,611 shares of the Company’s common stock that she received as a result of the Exchange Transaction. These shares represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of the Exchange Transaction (the “Make Good Shares”), so that in the event that actual net income set forth in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (“NI”) does not reflect $8 million of net income (the “Guaranteed NI”), the Make Good Shares can be distributed on a pro rata basis to the participants of the Onny Offering in accordance with the following formula:

Make Good Shares = ((Guaranteed NI - NI) / $8m) X Make Good Pool

If required, the Make Good Shares will be delivered to participants in the Onny Offering within ten (10) business days of the date the audit report for the period is filed with the SEC.

Additionally, in connection with the Onny Offering, Heung Mei Tsui escrowed 277,785 shares of the Company’s common stock that she received as a result of the Exchange Transaction, which shares represent 0.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of the Exchange Transaction (the “HFG Make Good Pool”), so that in the event the Company does not achieve the Guaranteed NI, the HFG Make Good Shares will be distributed to HFG International, Limited, an affiliate of Halter Financial Group, Inc., in accordance with the following formula:

HFG Make Good Shares = ((Guaranteed NI - NI) / $8m) X HFG Make Good Pool

If required, the HFG Make Good Shares will be delivered within ten (10) business days of the date the audit report for the period is filed with the SEC.

According to the audited consolidated financial statement of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the net income was $8,587,086 which is more than the Guaranteed NI. Therefore, 7,222,396 shares of the Company’s common stock which was escrowed shall be reverted back to Heung Mei Tsui. As of the date of this report, Heung Mei Tsui holds 10,812,651 shares or 25.57% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock. 

Helpson

Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Helpson”) is a foreign-invested enterprise established in Haikou, Hainan Province, PRC on February 25, 1993. Initially, its name was Hainan Fulin Biomedical Co., Ltd., which was changed to “Helpson” in 1999. The company was originally an “equity joint venture” as defined by China’s laws on foreign invested enterprises. The two joint venturers were Haikou Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Haikou Biomedical”), a PRC company, and Hong Kong Fudao Development Co., Ltd. (“Fudao”), a Hong Kong company. Haikou Biomedical invested RMB 2,100,000 for a 70% share of Helpson, and Fudao invested $150,000 for a 30% share of Helpson.

On June 16, 2001, Fudao entered into an Equity Interest Transfer Agreement with Hainan Kaidi Science and Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“Kaidi”). In accordance with the Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, Fudao transferred all of its 30% capital contribution in Helpson to Kaidi in consideration of RMB 2,780,000. As a result of the transfer, Haikou Biomedical continued to hold a 70% equity interest in Helpson, while Kaidi had a 30% equity interest in Helpson. Therefore, Helpson became a PRC domestic company, rather than a foreign-invested company.

Effective on December 26, 2003, Helpson issued new capital stock to Chengdu Huineng Biomedical Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Bio”) and Chongqing Chemical Medicine Holding Group (“Chongqing Chemical”). Chengdu Bio contributed RMB 3,000,000 for a 10.71% equity interest in Helpson and an additional RMB 3,000,000 for Helpson’s capital common reserve fund, and Chongqing Chemical contributed RMB 5,000,000 for a 17.86% equity interest in Helpson and an additional RMB 5,000,000 for Helpson’s capital common reserve fund. After the issuance of shares, Helpson had four equity holders: Haikou Biomedical, holding 50% equity interest; Kaidi, holding 21.43% equity interest; Chengdu Bio, holding 10.71% equity interest; and Chongqing Chemical, holding 17.86% equity interest.

On March 8, 2005, Chongqing Chemical entered into an equity interest transfer agreement with Haikou Biomedical to transfer all of its equity interest in Helpson to Haikou Biomedical. Upon completion of the transfer, there remained only three equity holders of Helpson: Haikou Biomedical, holding 67.86% equity interest; Kaidi, holding 21.43% equity interest, and Chengdu Bio, holding 10.71% equity interest.

As set forth above, on May 25, 2005, Haikou Biomedical, Kaidi and Chengdu Bio entered into an equity interest transfer agreement with Onny to transfer all their equity interests in Helpson to Onny. Effective as of June 21, 2005, Onny became the sole stockholder of Helpson, and Helpson became a wholly foreign-owned enterprise as defined by PRC law.

Upon the closing of the Exchange Transaction on October 19, 2005, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Onny in exchange for 27,499,940 shares of our common stock and became Onny’s sole stockholder. As a result, as of October 19, 2005, Helpson became our wholly owned subsidiary.

As of July 4, 2006, Helpson increased its registered capital from RMB 28,000,000 to RMB 60,000,000 and changed its registered address from Unit 8, D Area, Office Hall, Haikou Bonded Zone, Haikou, Hainan Province, China to C09-2, Haikou Bonded Zone, Haikou, Hainan Province, PRC.

Helpson positions itself as a specialty pharmaceutical company with rapidly growing profit that develops, manufactures, and markets treatments for a wide range of high incidence and high mortality conditions in China, including cardio and cerebrovascular diseases, Central Nervous System (CNS) disease, infectious disease, and hepatitis. The Company's cost-effective, high margin business model is driven by market demand and supported by 8 scalable GMP-certified production lines covering the major dosage forms. In addition, the Company has a broad and expanding distribution network across 30 Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and possesses a strong R&D platform from numerous well-established collaborations with prestigious universities.

Helpson also possessed official documents on drug registration for Tiopronin Enteric-Coated Capsules and Compound Ammonium Glycyrrhetate S for Injection issued by China's State Food and Drug Administration on December 19, 2008 and June 6, 2008 respectively.

Due to the nature of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, Helpson continually strives to change its product portfolio to respond to changes in market demand. Helpson also plans to expand its biotechnology product series. Based on the foundation established by some of Helpson's widely recognized medicine labels such as Pusen OK, Buflomedil and Alginic Sodium Diester, Helpson has launched and will continue to launch a variety of biological medicine.

Helpson adjusts the delivery system and marketing for each of its products based on the product's target patient group. Maintaining a variety of delivery systems (e.g. tablet, injection, powder, etc.) targeting at different groups enhances Helpson's competitive position in the market. Helpson's present types of delivery include tablet, capsule, granule, injectable, dry powder,

Principal Markets

The principal markets of Helpson lie within China. With approximately one-fifth of the world’s population and a fast-growing gross domestic product, China presents significant potential for the pharmaceutical industry. According to the Freedonia Group, pharmaceutical demand in China reached RMB198.0 billion ($25.4 billion) in 2005, representing a growth of 12.1% annually since 2000. The Freedonia Group expects the total pharmaceutical expenditure in China to grow at 13.6% annually between 2005 and 2010. Such growth rate is significantly higher as compared to the rest of the world, where growth of the pharmaceutical industry is projected to be at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0% to 8.0% between 2004 and 2009 according to IMS Health. According to IMS forecasts, China will become the seventh largest pharmaceutical market in the world in 2009 and the second largest in 2020, with a market capacity of US$220 billion. 

The growth is driven by increased income levels, overall improvement of life quality and the consumer’s desire for improved healthcare. In addition, the broader coverage of healthcare and the increasing aging population contribute to the increased demand for pharmaceutical products. Increased healthcare spending by the Chinese government to reform the healthcare system has already greatly improved the accessibility to and desire for medical care. The Chinese government’s increased spending on the rural market is another driving force of our future development.

Distribution

As of December 31, 2008, Helpson's products were sold in more than 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Helpson has 16 sales offices, 110 sales personnels and approximately 1250 proxy agents throughout China. 

Industry Background and Competition

The pharmaceutical industry's primary categories include chemical medicine, traditional Chinese medicinal material, traditional Chinese medicinal film, prepared Chinese herbal medicine, antibiotics, biological products, biological medicine, radioactive medicine, medical appliances, sanitation materials, pharmaceutical machinery, medical packaging and trading.

Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is reduced by barriers to entry. A company wishing to enter into the industry must comply with the standards and regulations set forth by the government. In the PRC, the State Food and Drug Administration of China (the “SFDA”) is the authority that monitors and supervises the administration of the pharmaceutical industry including pharmaceutical products, medical appliances, and equipment. Pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises must obtain a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Enterprise Permit issued by the relevant pharmaceutical administrative authorities and relevant health departments at the provincial level where the enterprise is located. Furthermore, all pharmaceutical products produced in the PRC, with the exception of Chinese herbal medicines in soluble form, must bear a registered number approved by the appropriate governmental authorities in the PRC. Lastly, in accordance with the World Health Organization, the PRC now requires compliance with GMP standards in pharmaceutical production in order to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing final products. As the regulatory approval process becomes more stringent, it also increases the barriers to entering the market.
 
Due to the variety of consumer demands within the pharmaceutical market, pharmaceutical companies have relatively dispersed product lines. We have identified, however, two primary strategies we must adopt in order to stay competitive. In expanding market share of common traditional medicine, we must take advantage of 1) our large manufacturing scale and reasonable cost control mechanisms, and 2) our strong sales network.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WITHIN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS AND FAILURE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL MAY FORCE US TO DELAY, REDUCE, OR ELMINATE OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Due to the large amount of funds required for research and development and the subsequent marketing of products, the pharmaceutical industry is very capital intensive. The industry is characterized by large and slow receivable turnovers, which signifies that we will need more working capital as our revenues increase. We have traditionally been committed to biomedical R&D, and are now developing traditional chemical medicines within specific market segments such as those of anti-flu and anti-infection. It is likely that we will need to raise additional capital within the next twelve months. Additional capital may be needed for the development of new products or product lines, financing of general and administrative expenses, licensing or acquisition of additional technologies, and marketing of new or existing products. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the appropriate amount of capital needed for our future operations. Failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce, or eliminate our product development programs and have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS

In 2008, general worldwide economic conditions declined due to sequential effects of the sub prime lending crisis, general credit market crisis, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. This global economic downturn poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone spending, or seek new ways to eliminate spending, in response to these uncertain and challenging economic conditions. In addition, there could be a number of follow-on effects including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, insolvency of key suppliers and customer insolvencies. We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or recession or the timing or strength of a subsequent recovery, worldwide, or in the specific markets we serve. If the markets for our products significantly deteriorate due to these economic effects, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

WE RELY ON A FEW SUPPLIERS AND ANY DISRUPTION WITH OUR SUPPLIERS COULD DELAY PRODUCT SHIPMENTS AND MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY

We have developed relationships with a single or limited number of suppliers for materials that are otherwise generally available. Purchases from our three largest suppliers, Hainan Xinxin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Anhui Fuyang Xinte Pharmaceutical Company and Sichuan Chengxin Pharmaceutical Company as of December 31, 2008, accounted for approximately 27.15%, 25.84% and 19.48% respectively of the total purchases of Helpson. Although we believe that alternative suppliers are available to supply materials, should either of these suppliers terminate their business arrangements with us or increase their prices of materials supplied, it could delay product shipments and materially adversely affect our business operations and profitability.

IF ALL OR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR TRADE RECIEVABLES ARE NOT COLLECTED OR COLLECTION IS DELAYED, OUR NET INCOME WILL DECREASE AND OUR PROFITABILITY WILL BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED

Our Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of approximately $18,572,976 ($2,440,852 for doubtful accounts) and $36,008,095 ($4,474,175 for doubtful accounts) as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

It is usual commercial practice that certain customers may repay their debts beyond credit periods granted or may repay slowly when transaction volume increases. There is no assurance that our trade receivables will be fully repaid on a timely basis. The percentage of a trade receivable that is deemed doubtful is as follows: 100% after 720 days; 50% after 360 days; and 7.5% up to 360 days.

If all or a significant portion of our customers with trade receivables fail to pay all or part of the trade receivables or delay the payment due to us for whatever reason, our net profit will decrease and our profitability will be materially adversely affected.

WE MAY UNDERTAKE ACQUISITIONS IN THE FUTURE, AND ANY DIFFICULTIES IN INTEGRATING THESE ACQUISITIONS MAY DAMAGE OUR PROFITABILITY

In the future, we may acquire additional businesses or products that complement our existing business and expand our business scale. The integration of new businesses and products may prove to be an expensive and time consuming procedure. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate the newly acquired businesses and products or operate the acquired business in a profitable manner. Failure to locate an appropriate acquisition target or failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired businesses and products may materially adversely impact our operations and profits.

THE FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, AND RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS

The rapid market growth of our pharmaceutical products may require our Company to expand our employee base for managerial, operational, financial, and other purposes. As of December 31, 2008, we had 196 regular employees. The continued future growth will impose significant responsibilities upon the members of management to identify, recruit, maintain, integrate, and motivate new employees. Aside from increased difficulties in the management of human resources, we may also encounter working capital issues, as we need increased liquidity to finance the purchases of raw materials and supplies, research and development of new products, acquisition of new businesses and technologies, and the hiring of additional employees. For effective growth management, we will be required to continue improving our operations, management, and financial systems and control. Our failure to manage growth effectively may lead to operational and financial inefficiencies that will have a negative effect on the Company’s profitability.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL AND LOSS OF THESE KEY PERSONNEL COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FIANANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Company’s success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and pharmaceutical factory operational expertise of key personnel. Zhilin Li, Heqi Cai, and Yao Huang perform key functions in the operation of our Company. Ms. Li entered into an Employment Agreement with Helpson, which provides that she shall act as its CEO. The term of her Employment Agreement is from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2010. Mr. Cai entered into an Employment Agreement with Helpson to act as its Director of Development Department for a term from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2010. Ms. Huang entered into an Employment Agreement with

 

Helpson to act as its Head of Pharmaceutical Plant for a term from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2010. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these officers after the term of their employment or after their contracts expire. The loss of officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees. Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy will depend upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled, experienced management and other key personnel. We cannot assure that we will be able to hire or retain such employees.

IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS WITH HIGH PROFIT MARGINS AND OUR HIGH PROFIT MARGIN PRODUCTS ARE REPLACED BY COMPETITOR’S PRODUCTS, THEN OUR GROSS AND NET PROFIT MARGINS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

In the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, our gross profit margin was 46.91% and 49.62% respectively. The gross profit increased approximately $9.72 million or 62.46% from 2007 to 2008. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to sustain such profit margins in the future. The pharmaceutical market in the PRC is very competitive, and there may be pressure to reduce sale prices of products without a corresponding decrease in the price of raw materials. To the extent that we fail to develop new products with high profit margins and our high profit margin products are substituted by competitors’ products, gross profit margins will be adversely affected.

WE FACE COMPETITION IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET IN THE PRC AND SUCH COMPETITION COULD CAUSE OUR SALES REVENUE AND PROFITS TO DECLINE

According to the State Food and Drug Administration of China (the “SFDA”), there were approximately 5,071 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in the PRC as of the end of June 2004, of which approximately 3,237 manufacturers obtained certificates of Good Manufacturing Practices Certification (“GMP certification”). After GMP certification became a mandatory requirement on July 1, 2004, approximately 1,834 pharmaceutical manufacturers were forced to cease production. Only the 3,237 pharmaceutical manufacturers with GMP certifications may continue their manufacturing operations. As of the end of 2006, there are 4682 enterprises manufacturing medicines and formulation in China. The certificates, permits, and licenses required for pharmaceutical operation in the PRC create a potentially significant barrier for new competitors seeking entrance into the market. Despite these obstacles, we face competitors that will attempt to create, or are already marketing, products in the PRC that are similar to ours. There can be no assurance that our products will be either more effective in their therapeutic abilities and/or be able to compete in price with that of our competitors. Failure to do either of these may result in decreased profits for our Company. 

OUR SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CONTINUALLY DEVELOPING NEW AND ADVANCED PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND PROCESSES AND FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE US TO LOSE OUR COMPETITIVENESS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND MAY CAUSE OUR PROFITS TO DECLINE

To remain competitive in the pharmaceutical industry, it is important to continually develop new and advanced products, technologies and processes. There is no assurance that our competitors’ new products, technologies and processes will not render our Company’s existing products obsolete or non-competitive. Our Company’s competitiveness in the pharmaceutical market therefore relies upon our ability to enhance our current products, introduce new products, and develop and implement new technologies and processes. Our Company’s failure to technologically evolve and/or develop new or enhanced products may cause us to lose our competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry and may cause our profits to decline. 

THE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS OF OUR PRODUCTS DEPENDS UPON THE DEGREE OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE AMONG THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND FAILURE TO ATTAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE AMONG THE MEDICAL COMMUNICTY MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY

The commercial success of our products depends upon the degree of market acceptance among the medical community. Even if our products are approved by the SFDA, there is no assurance that physicians will prescribe or recommend our products to patients. Furthermore, a product’s prevalence and use at hospitals may be contingent upon our relationship with the medical community. The acceptance of our products among the medical community may depend upon several factors including, but not limited to, the product’s acceptance by physicians and patients as a safe and effective treatment, cost effectiveness, potential advantages over alternative treatments, and the prevalence and severity of side effects. Failure to attain market acceptance among the medical community may have an adverse impact on our operations and profitability.

THE DISCONTINUATION OF ANY PREFERENTIAL TAX TREATMENTS OR OTHER INCENTIVES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US IN THE PRC COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Pursuant to the original Income Tax Law of the PRC for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises and its implementation rules, a foreign invested enterprise as defined under PRC laws shall pay 30% corporate income tax and 3% local income tax; an enterprise with foreign investment of a production nature scheduled to operate for a period of not less than ten years shall, from the year of making profits, be exempt from enterprise income tax in the first and second years and allowed a fifty percent reduction in the third to fifth years. Pursuant to the State Council’s Regulations on Encouraging Investment in and Development of Hainan Island promulgated in May, 1988, the corporate income tax for all companies incorporated in Hainan Province is reduced to 15%. Pursuant to the Regulations on Foreign Investment in Hainan Special Economic Zone promulgated by Hainan Province in March, 1991 (the “Regulation on Foreign Investment”), all foreign invested enterprises incorporated in Hainan Province are exempt from the local income tax.

Helpson has obtained the approval for preferential enterprise income tax treatment from Hainan State Administration of Taxation at the end of 2006 and has begun to enjoy the preferential tax treatment. Therefore, Helpson shall be exempt from enterprise income tax in the first and second years after it begins to make profit, and shall pay enterprise income tax at the rate of 7.5% from the third to the fifth year after it begins to make profit. 

However, on March 16, 2007, China’s national congress approved the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (“New Income Tax Law”), which takes effect from January 1, 2008. The New Income Tax Law unifies the enterprise income tax rate, cost deduction and tax incentive policies for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises. Under the New Income Tax Law, enterprises that were established and already enjoyed preferential tax rates or tax holidays before March 16, 2007 will (i) in case of preferential tax rates, gradually increase to 25% rate for a period of 5 years, (ii) in case of tax holidays continue to enjoy them until the expiration of such term.
 
Therefore, Helpson will continue to enjoy preferential tax treatment until the expiration of the preferential term. There can be no assurance that Helpson will continue to be entitled to any preferential tax treatment or tax holidays after the transition period expires. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives could have an adverse affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE PRC’S PRICE CONTROL OF DRUGS WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR PROFITABILITY AND EVEN CAUSE US TO STOP MANUFACTURING CERTAIN PRODUCTS

The State Development and Reform Commission (“SDRC”) of the PRC and the price administration bureaus of the relevant provinces of the PRC in which the pharmaceutical products are manufactured are responsible for the retail price control over our pharmaceutical products. The SDRC sets the price ceilings for certain pharmaceutical products in the PRC. Although our products have not been subject to such price controls as of the date of this Form 10-K, there is no assurance that our products will remain unaffected by it. Where our products are subject to a price ceiling, we will need to adjust the product price to meet the requirement and to accommodate for the pricing of competitors in the competition for market shares. The price ceilings set by the SDRC may limit our profitability, and in some instances, such as where the price ceiling is below production costs, may cause us to stop manufacturing certain products which may adversely affect our results of operations.

OUR CERTIFICATES, PERMITS, AND LICENSES ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL AND RENEWAL, AND THE FAILURE TO OBTAIN RENEWAL WOULD CAUSE ALL OR PART OF OUR OPERATIONS TO BE SUSPENDED AND HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our Company is subject to various PRC laws and regulations pertaining to the pharmaceutical industry. Our Company has attained certain certificates, permits, and licenses required for the operation of a pharmaceutical enterprise and the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products in the PRC. We obtained the Medicine Production Permit in December 2005, which is valid through December 31, 2010. We also possess six GMP certificates which are effective through December 2, 2009, February 2, 2010, May 19, 2010, April 17, 2011, May 7, 2013 and August 10, 2013 respectively. The pharmaceutical production permits and GMP certificates are each valid for a term of five years and must be renewed before their expiration. During the renewal process, we will be re-evaluated by the appropriate governmental authorities and must comply with the prevailing standards and regulations, which may change from time to time. In the event that we are not able to renew the certificates, permits and licenses, all or part of our operations may be suspended by the government, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Furthermore, if escalating compliance costs associated with governmental standards and regulations restrict or prohibit any part of our operations, it may adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

IF OUR PRODUCTS FAIL TO RECEIVE REGULATORY APPROVAL OR ARE SEVERELY LIMITED IN THE PRODUCTS SCOPE OF USE, THEN WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RECOUP CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES ALREADY INCURRED

Our products that are approved to be manufactured as of December 31, 2008 include 18 medicines. There are 9 products in the stage of research and development as of December 31, 2008. The production of our pharmaceutical products is subject to the regulatory approval of the SFDA. The regulatory approval procedure for pharmaceuticals can be quite lengthy, costly, and uncertain. Depending upon the discretion of the SFDA, the approval process may be significantly delayed by additional clinical testing and require the expenditure of currently unavailable resources; in such an event, it may be necessary for us to abandon our application. Even where approval of the product is granted, it may contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions, or contra-indications with respect to conditions of use. If approval of our product is denied, abandoned, or severely limited in terms of the scope of products use, it may result in the inability to recoup considerable research and development expenditures already incurred.

OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT MAY BE COSTLY AND/OR UNTIMELY, AND THERE ARE NO ASSURANCES THAT OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT WILL EITHER BE SUCCESSFUL OR COMPLETED WITHIN THE ANTICIPATED TIMEFRAME, IF EVER AT ALL

The research and development of our new and existing products and their subsequent commercialization plays an important role in our success. As of December 31, 2008, there are 9 products under research and development. The research and development of new products is costly and time consuming, and there are no assurances that our research and development of new products will either be successful or completed within the anticipated time frame, if ever at all. There are also no assurances that if the product is developed, that it will lead to successful commercialization. 

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE PROTECTION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND IF INFRINGEMENT OR COUNTERFEITING OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OCCURS, THEN OUR REPUTATION AND BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

To protect the brand names of our products, we have registered and applied for registration of our trademarks in the PRC, where we have a major business presence.

All of our products are sold under these trademarks. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have not experienced any infringements of such trademarks for sales of pharmaceutical products, and as of the date of this Form 10-K, we were not aware of any infringement of our intellectual property rights. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any infringement of our brand name or other registered trademarks or counterfeiting of our products in the future. Should any such infringement or counterfeiting occur, our reputation and business may be adversely affected. We may also incur significant expenses and substantial amounts of time and effort to protect our intellectual property rights in the future. Such diversion of our resources may adversely affect our existing business and future expansion plans.

OUR REPUTATION AND BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED AS A RESULT OF PRODUCT LIABILITY OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

We may produce products which inadvertently have an adverse pharmaceutical effect on the health of individuals despite proper testing. Existing PRC laws and regulations do not require us to maintain third party liability insurance to cover product liability claims. However, if a product liability claim is brought against us, it may, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, result in damage to our reputation, breach of contract with our customers, decreased demand for our products, costly litigation, product recalls, loss of revenue, and the inability to commercialize some products. We are currently not aware of any existing or anticipated product liability claims with respect to our products.

WE RELY ON THE COOPERATION WITH CERTAIN RESEARCH LABORATORIES, PHARMACEUTICAL INSITITUIONS, AND UNIVERSITIES, AND IF THESE INSTITUTIONS CEASE TO COOPERATE WITH US AND WE CANNOT FIND OTHER SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, THEN OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS MAY BE HINDERED AND OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

Helpson cooperates with several research institutions including China Pharmaceutical University, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences of the Academy of Military Medical Science, the Chongqing Pharmaceutical Research Institute and Sichuan University. Helpson relies to a certain extent on these institutions for its development of new products. There is no assurance that these institutions will continue cooperating with Helpson to develop new products. In the event that these institutions cease to cooperate with Helpson and Helpson cannot find other suitable substitute research and development partners, our ability to develop new products may be hindered and our business may be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Helpson operates from facilities that are located in China. Accordingly, its operations must conform to governmental regulations and rules of the PRC.

THE PRC LEGAL SYSTEM HAS INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD LIMIT THE LEGAL PROTECTIONS AVAILABLE TO US

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing commercial matters. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to foreign-invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations, and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors.

The practical effect of the PRC legal system on our business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full benefit of corporate articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which are not qualitatively different from the corporation laws found in the United States. Similarly, PRC accounting laws mandate accounting practices which may not be consistent with the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. PRC accounting laws require that an annual “statutory audit” be performed in accordance with PRC accounting standards and that the account books of a foreign invested e nterprise be maintained in accordance with PRC accounting laws. Article 14 of the PRC Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a wholly foreign- owned enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities. If a foreign-invested enterprise refuses to keep account books in China, the financial and tax authorities may impose a fine on it, and the industry and commerce administration authority may order it to suspend operations or may revoke its business license.

Second, while the enforcement of substantive rights may be less clear than United States procedures, foreign invested e nterprises and wholly foreign- owned enterprises are PRC registered companies which enjoy the same status as other PRC registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolutions. The PRC legal infrastructure, however, is significantly different in operation from its United States counterpart, and may present a significant impediment to the operation of a foreign invested e nterprise.

PRC ECONOMIC REFORM POLICIES OR NATIONALIZATION COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL INVESTMENT LOSS IN OUR COMMON STOCK

Since 1979, the PRC government has reformed its economic policies. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the economic growth rates, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations.
 
Although the PRC government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in the past several years the government has implemented economic reform measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there are no assurances that:

-			We will be able to capitalize on economic reforms;
-			The Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies;
-			The economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful;
-			Economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; or
-			Business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization.

Over the last few years, China’s economy has registered high growth rates. Recently, there have been indications that rates of inflation have increased. In response, the Chinese government recently has taken measures to curb this excessively expansive economy. These measures have included restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, reducing the purchasing capability of some of its customers, and limited recentralization of the approval process for purchases of certain foreign products. These austere measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy’s excessive expansion or control inflation, and may result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy. The PRC government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets. These measures may adversely affect our operations.
 
There can be no assurance that the reforms to China’s economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China’s political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN EFFECTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS, ENFORCING FOREIGN JUDGMENTS OR BRINGING ORIGINAL ACTIONS IN THE PRC BASED ON U.S. OR OTHER FOREIGN LAWS AGAINST THE COMPANY OR OUR MANAGEMENT

Helpson, our operating company, is incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, many of our directors, managers, and executive officers reside within the PRC, and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located within the PRC. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside the PRC upon certain of our directors, supervisors or executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or many other countries. As a result, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court in the United States and any of the other jurisdictions mentioned above in relation to any matter may be difficult or impossible. Furthermore, an original action may be brought in the PRC against us, our directors, managers, or executive officers only if the actions are not required to be arbitrated by PRC law and Helpson’s articles of association, and only if the facts alleged in the complaint give rise to a cause of action under PRC law. In connection with any such original action, a PRC court may impose civil liability, including monetary damages. 

BECAUSE WE RECEIVE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR REVENUE IN RENMINBI, WHICH CURRENTLY IS NOT A FREELY CONVERTIBLE CURRENCY, AND THE PRC GOVERNMENT CONTROLS THE CURRENCY CONVERSION AND THE FLUCTUATION OF THE RENMINBI, WE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGES IN THE PRCS’ POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DECISIONS

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

THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITIES WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE BETWEEN U.S. DOLLARS AND RMB 

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

THE GROWTH OF THE CHINESE ECONOMY HAS BEEN UNEVEN ACROSS GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS AND ECONOMIC SECTORS, AND A DOWNTURN IN CERTAIN REGIONS IN WHICH WE DO BUSINESS OR IN OUR ECONOMIC SECTOR WOULD SLOW DOWN OUR GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY

The growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy will be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our business. Our profitability may decrease due to a downturn in the Chinese economy. More specifically, the expansion of our sales area in the less economically developed central and western provinces of China will depend on those provinces achieving certain income levels. 

ANY OCCURRENCE OF SERIOUS INFECTIOUS DISEASES, SUCH AS RECURRENCE OF SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS) CAUSING WIDESPREAD PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A renewed outbreak of SARS or other widespread public health problems in China, where all of our revenue is derived, and in Hainan, where our operations are headquartered, could have a negative effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of public health-related factors, including the following:

•			quarantines or closures of our factories or subsidiaries which would severely disrupt its operations;
•			the sickness or death of key officers and employees; and
•			general slowdown in the Chinese economy.

Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAWS OF THE PRC

Our manufacturing process may produce by-products such as effluent, gases and noise, which are harmful to the environment. We are subject to multiple laws governing environmental protection, such as “The Law on Environmental Protection in the PRC” and “The Law on Prevention of Effluent Pollution in the PRC,” as well as standards set by the relevant governmental bodies determining the classification of different wastes and proper disposal. We have properly attained a waste disposal permit for our manufacturing facility, which details the types and concentration of effluents and gases allowed for disposal. The temporary waste disposal permit will expire on September 28, 2009. We are responsible for the renewal of the waste disposal permit. There is no assurance that we will obtain the renewal of the waste disposal permit when the current permit expires.
 
China is experiencing substantial problems with environmental pollution. Accordingly, it is likely that the national, provincial and local governmental agencies will adopt stricter pollution controls. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental laws and regulations will not impose costly compliance requirements on us or otherwise subject us to future liabilities. Our business’s profitability may be adversely affected if additional or modified environmental control regulations are imposed upon us. 

RECENT PRC REGULATIONS RELATING TO ACQUISITIONS OF PRC COMPANIES BY FOREIGN ENTITIES MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO ACQUIRE PRC COMPANIES AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR STRATEGY AS WELL AS OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange or SAFE issued a pubic notice in October 2005 (“Decree No. 75”), requiring PRC residents and PRC corporate entities to register with and obtain approvals from competent local SAFE branch in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities.

Decree No. 75 requires registration by March 31, 2006 of direct or indirect investments previously made by PRC residents in offshore companies prior to the implementation of Decree No. 75 on November 1, 2005. If a PRC shareholder with a direct or indirect stake in an offshore parent company fails to make the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore parent company may be prohibited from making distributions of profit to the offshore parent and from paying the offshore parent proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect of the PRC subsidiaries. Furthermore, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for foreign exchange evasion.

In addition, SAFE issued updated internal implementing rules (“Implementing Rules”) in relation to Decree No. 75. The Implementing Rules were promulgated and became effective on May 29, 2007. Such Implementing Rules provide more detailed provisions and requirements regarding the overseas investment foreign exchange registration procedures. For an offshore special purpose company which was established and owned the onshore assets or equity interests before the implementation date of the Decree No. 75, a retroactive SAFE registration requirement is repeated.

Due to the lack of official interpretation, some of the terms and provisions of the Decree No. 75 and the Implementing Rules remain unclear, and the implementation of the Decree No. 75 by central SAFE and local SAFE branches has been inconsistent since its adoption. Therefore, we cannot predict how Decree No. 75 will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with the Decree No. 75 by our PRC resident shareholders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete registration procedures required by the Decree No. 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident shareholders or future PRC resident shareholders to comply with the Decree No. 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiary’s ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, promulgated a regulation (the “M&A Regulation”) which became effective on September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, has some provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle, or SPV, formed for listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.

There are, however, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including the New M&A Rule. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the Company’s understanding that it does not need the CSRC approval, and PRC government authorities may impose some additional approvals and requirements. Therefore, we cannot predict how the M&A Regulation will affect our business operations or future strategy. If the CSRC requires that we obtain its approval, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of the CSRC approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding this CSRC approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stocks.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT

The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

WE MAY ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CASH FOR WORKING CAPITAL; IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK, OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP IN US THE COMPANY

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital. There is no anti-dilution protection or preemptive rights in connection with our common stock. Thus, the percentage ownership of existing holders of common stock may be diluted in their respective percentage ownership in us if we issue additional shares of our capital stock.

A LARGE PORTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONTROLLED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS AND AS A RESULT, THESE STOCKHOLDERS ARE ABLE TO INFLUENCE AND ULTIMATELY CONTROL THE OUTCOME OF STOCKHOLDER VOTES ON VARIOUS MATTERS

A large portion of our common stock is held by a small number of stockholders. For instance, Heung Mei Tsui holds 25.57% and Zhilin Li holds 23.65% of the Company’s common stock, respectively, as of the date of this Form 10-K. As a result, these two stockholders are able to influence and ultimately control the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and other corporate transactions including business combinations. In addition, the occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock. 

THERE IS CURRENTLY A LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

Our common stock is currently traded in the over-the-counter market through the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC Bulletin Board). The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for our existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. While there is an active trading market for our common stock, it is small. Further, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will be maintained. We cannot assure you that our common stock will ever be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any other quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market).

WE ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN SUBJECT TO “PENNY STOCK” REGULATIONS AND AS A CONSEQUENCE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS AND ADDITIONAL WARNINGS ISSUED BY THE SEC

As long as the trading price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC. The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For

transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect a stockholder’s ability to resell the common stock.
 
There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the “penny stock” rules. In any event, even if our common stock is exempt from such rules, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of a “penny stock” if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
 
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES, WHICH WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RECOUP

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT COULD COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL AND REQUIRE HUNDREDS OF MAN HOURS OF EFFORT, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL HAVE THE PERSONNEL, FINANCIAL RESOURCES OR EXPERTISE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports. We are subject to this requirement commencing with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 and a report of our management is included under Item 8A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has identified significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Our management concluded that none of the internal control deficiencies is identified as material weakness or has had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 to contain a material misstatement. However, in the future, our management may conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective due to the identification of one or more material weaknesses if one or more material weaknesses are identified. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In the event we identify material weaknesses in our internal controls, or we cannot remediate the existing significant deficiencies in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

 

OUR HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE MAY LIMIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below. PRC regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiary in China is also required to set aside a portion of its after tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. Currently, our subsidiary in China is the only source of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends. If it does not accumulate sufficient profits under PRC accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by PRC accounting standards, we will be unable to pay any dividends.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments 

We currently have an unresolved comment letter from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The comments focused on disclosure requirements of Form 10K and Form 10Q under the Regulation S-K and have no effect on financial data.  We have amended filings when required and responded to the letter and expect all comments to be resolved in the immediate future.

China Pharma Holdings, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company with rapidly growing profit that develops, manufactures, and markets treatments for a wide range of high incidence and high mortality conditions in China, including cardio and cerebrovascular diseases, Central Nervous System (CNS) disease, infectious disease, and hepatitis. The Company's cost-effective, high margin business model is driven by market demand and supported by 8 scalable GMP-certified production lines covering the major dosage forms. In addition, the Company has a broad and expanding distribution network across 30 Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and possesses a strong R&D platform from numerous well-established collaborations with prestigious universities. The Company is registered in Delaware, USA. Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Helpson), located in Haikou City, Hainan Province, China, is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Pharma Holdings, Inc. 

Strong Revenue Growth and High Margins - We have experienced a compounded, annual growth-rate of over 68% in sales of our therapeutics since 2003. For the year ended   December 31 2008, the company continued to show stable growth and excellent financial performance. For 2008, the company’s total revenue reached $50.97 million, an increase of 53.58% compared with $33.19 million of 2007. For 2008, the gross profit margin was 49.62% which is higher than 46.91% of 2007 and higher than the industry average of 34.2%. Net income for 2008 was $17.83 million, an increase of 39.11% on 12.82 million of 2007; excluding the effect of the increasing income tax, net income increased 54.4%.

Proven Record of Success - We have a proven track record of success. We are a profitable company with a low cost, high margin business model. We are seeing a rapid growth in sales with a constant growth in income, due to our focus on the largest segments of China's pharmaceutical market. We have eight different types of modern production lines with capacity to meet future demands, and our facilities received five-year Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) re-Certification from the SFDA during 2008. We have a portfolio of over 30 specifications of drugs that focus on the treatment of: CNS, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, infectious diseases and other therapeutic areas of high incidence in China. Among these two are market leaders: PuSenOK™, and Buflomedil hydrochloride for which we were awarded the "National Key New Product" by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with the State Administration of Taxation, Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC, and State Environmental Protection Administration of China. In addition, our growth strategy is supported by the needs of a dynamic pharmaceutical industry and should benefit from government reforms to increase the population covered by national medical insurance.

Clear Strategy for Growth – We are part of a rapidly growing industry, in which we are a leader in brand off-patent drugs with growing business. Directed by market needs, we combine our internal R&D with strategic alliances and co-operation, to promote new and improved products targeting China’s most prevalent diseases such as CNS disease, cardio-/cerebrovascular disease, digestive disease, and infectious disease. In addition, we produce products in a variety of forms which target specific patient groups, and research, develop and commercialise new or improved dosage-forms of existing products that address side effects or other issues, associated with the originally marketed product formulations.

As of December 31, 2008, in addition to our robust portfolio of 30 specifications of 18 commercialized products, we had nine drugs at different stages of R&D, including two which had passed SFDA technical analysis and entered clinical trials (including a new anti-drug-resistance antibiotic product), and three drugs waiting for SFDA production approval. These three included Tiopronin, indicated for Hepatitis B, which subsequently received SFDA production approval in January 2009. The new-to-market enteric-coated version of this drug limits damage to the stomach, giving us product differentiation and competitive advantages for this commonly used medicine. We anticipate its launch in the second quarter of 2009. The other two products awaiting SFDA production approval are indicated for gastric ulcers, and for dementia disease respectively.

We received SFDA approval to enter clinical trials during 2008, including three phase trials for our antibiotic-lactamase inhibitor combination drug aimed at addressing the drug-resistance commonly associated with third generation Cephalosporin antibiotics. The clinical program is expected to require approximately 2.5 years. At the start of 2009, our antihypertensive product candidate, Candesartan also entered clinical trials.

In addition to these products, we have several others pending SFDA technical review and plan to initiate additional clinical trials in 2009 that focus on our main therapeutic areas. We are also evaluating additional opportunities on an ongoing basis, directed by the organic growth and market demands of China's pharmaceutical market. We are working closely with several pharmaceutical research institutions and remain focused on creating a steady increase in revenue. Through strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and through capitalization of this fragmented market, we will improve our product portfolio and push our integrated growth; maintain and develop new marketing channels; and use our existing retailing network in the newly expanded market to raise our overall market share. The organic growth of the Chinese pharmaceutical market has already and will continue to direct the company's development.

I. Summary of twelve months ended December 31, 2008

For the yeaar ended December 31 2008, the company continued to show stable growth and excellent financial performance. The increase in company revenue exceeded 53.58%, reaching approximately $50.97 million, compared with $33.19 million of 2007. This rapid growth is accounted for by increases in sales of existing products, and increases in the share of sales by new products. This is consistent with China Pharma's strategy to launch new products in an increasingly competitive market, and further explore the domestic market.

The financial operational performance for the 12 months ending December 31, 2008 was clearly improved compared to the 12 months ending December 31, 2007. Gross profit increased 62.46%, reaching $25.29 million; and net income, not including foreign currency translation adjustment, increased 39.11% to $17.83 million. This growth was attributable to China Pharma’s low cost, high margin business model, and experienced management team.

Earnings per common share for the 12 months ending December 31, 2008, increased 28% reaching $0.44 per share compared to $0.35 per share for the 12 months ending December 31, 2007. China Pharma is working closely with several pharmaceutical research institutions to develop more products to meet our customers' needs. Our focus is to create a steady increase to the bottom line. We have seen in the past that a successful strategy is the key to company operation. Full exploration of the potential of the pharmaceutical market domain is essential to our success.
 
We have also enhanced internal controls for accounting and reporting. In the near future, we will develop a more systematic and continuous internal control system for the long-term development of the company and the benefit of our stakeholders and prospective investors.

II. Business Overview

China Pharma Holdings, Inc., is one of the China’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers which engages research and development institutions for market-ready formulas to mass produce. In 2008, we launched a new diuretic product: Bumetanide; in November 2008, we were granted approval for our new formulation antibiotic to enter clinical trials.
 
We plan to expand our biotechnology product portfolio. Based on the foundation established by some of our widely recognized medicine brands such as Cerebroprotein, for the treatment of memory decline and attention deficit disorder (ADD), we have offered and will continue to offer a variety of biological medicines. These products, including the injected hepatocyte growth-promoting factors, are expected to fuel additional growth in revenue beyond what Cerebroprotein has provided.
 
One of our products, Buflomedil Hydrochloride (which includes the raw form, injectable form, and tablet form) has received the following awards and designations:

	•		The key technology project in Hainan in 2003 by Haikou Municipality.
	•		The "National Key New Products" certificate in 2003 by the State Science and Technology Department, State Taxation Bureau, Ministry of Commerce, State Bureau of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and State Environmental Protection Bureau.
	•		The "Best Commercialized Technology" award in Hainan in 2004 by Hainan Scientific and Technological Result Examination Committee

Our scalable, GMP-certified manufacturing has been recognized in China. In 2003, we attained GMP certification and were awarded "Best Enterprise for Storing SARS Medicine" awarded by Hainan Province Food and Drug Administration. We have an extensive distribution network with 16 sales offices and approximately 1250 proxy agents covering 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across China. Our main market channels are generalized schemes of preferences (GSP) certified medical companies which directly distribute to hospitals and the final market.

Our subsidiary, Onny Investment Limited ("Onny") was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 12, 2005 and was a development stage enterprise through June 15, 2005. On June 16, 2005, Onny acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a privately held Chinese joint venture (Helpson) and emerged from the development stage. On October 19, 2005, Onny was reorganized as a wholly owned subsidiary of China Pharma Holdings, Inc. formerly TS Electronics, Inc. ("the Company").

Furthermore, on May 30, 2008 the Company completed an offering and issued five million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share and three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.25 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.80 per share. Net proceeds from the offering of approximately $9.3 million are expected to be used for the expansion of the Company’s existing product line, new drug development, sales and marketing, and to supplement general working capital purposes.

III. Market Trends

Studies show that due to the expansion and aging of the world's population, an increasing number of people have age-related diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and heart disease. These diseases have already become prevalent, particularly in developed areas. China Pharma is dedicated to delivering more effective treatments for these diseases of high incidence and mortality.

The growth of China’s pharmaceutical market is driven by the country’s rapid economic growth, the highest in economic history. Increased healthcare spending by the Chinese Government to reform the healthcare system has already greatly improved the accessibility to and desire for medical care. Important additional factors include: the aging of the population and the consequent increase in age-related disorders; the urban migration of the population; and improved awareness of self-health care. According to IMS forecasts, China will become the seventh largest pharmaceutical market in the world in 2009 and the second largest in 2020, with a market capacity of US$220 billion.

However, the global nature of the current economic crisis has had definite effects on the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and the Chinese Government’s soon to be released Healthcare Reform has also brought definite uncertainties for the development of the industry.
 
We view this market trend as an opportunity. However, the best way to take advantage of this opportunity is to identify our business risks beforehand. There are three areas of risk:

•  External Risk

In recent years, the Chinese medical system has been reformed, resulting in the State Department's establishment of a basic medical insurance system for employees. Considering the effects of the social environment, local government involvement and government policies on the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC, a large increase in sales is expected. Competition will also be strong across the industry overall. Currently, our existing products are competitive in the market and possess growth potential. However, from a long-term perspective, some major western medicine producers are also seeking Chinese market share. This will present us with strong competition in our medicine market sector. In addition, the effects of the Chinese Government’s soon to be released Healthcare Reform Plan on the Chinese Pharmaceutical industry also brings many areas of uncertainty.

•  Operation Risk

One of the major uncertainties in our industry is the purchase of raw materials. Raw materials are primarily affected by the geographical, island environment of Hainan Province. Because of high transportation costs and the need to guarantee production supply requirements, the company has no alternative but to store large amounts of inventory to maintain consistent production levels. In addition, part of the raw materials need to be specially ordered which further increases the need to store inventory. Finally, because of the transportation and geographical factors, the company must store a finished product reserve that is higher than that required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers in cities on the mainland. These relatively high amounts of stored raw materials and finished products all account for the company’s high amount of liquid assets, and the effect on the company’s cash turnover.

•  Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC. Our sales and purchases are conducted within the PRC in Chinese Renminbi (RMB). As a result, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuation would inevitably be considered to be material to our business operations.

All of our revenues and expenses are accounted for in (RMB). However, we use the United States Dollar (USD) for financial reporting purposes, since our parent company is registered in Delaware, USA. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies is regulated by the People's Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of the Renminbi to follow the market fluctuation, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not become volatile again or that the Renminbi will not devalue significantly against the USD. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in USD terms, of our net assets and income derived from its operations in the PRC.

IV. Analysis for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008

In 2008, the revenue for the whole year was $50.97 million, an increase of 53.58% on $33.19 million of 2007. The huge increase in revenue from sales resulted from the following factors: the demand from the vigorous Chinese economy, the maintenance of many years of rapid economic growth, and universal increases in individual spending power and confidence. For supply, the company’s output increased along with the rapid increase in market demand. We also strengthened marketing activities to aid expansion of the sales channels. Our older existing products had already obtained widespread customer acceptance. Up to December 31, 2008, PuSenOK continued its strong growth with sales of approximately $7.30 million, an increase of 76.56% on the $4.13 million of 2007, and accounting for approximately 14.31% of the total revenue for the period. Pusen OK, the only Chinese generic version of Aleve-D®, is the company’s flagship product, with competitive advantages including being the most effective, non-drowsy, slow release 12-hour cold medicine for the relief of pain, fever and congestion, etc. In addition, revenue from some of our older products have increased, notably from Buflomedil contributing approximately $4.68 million, and accounting for 9.17% of sales revenue; Alginic Sodium Diester with approximately $2.24 million, an increase of 75.53% on 2007; and finally Granisetron which reached approximately $2.88 million, an increase of 60.47% on last year. This year’s launch, Bumetanide, due to increases in market recognition and market acceptance also made a significant contribution to the sales revenue, in 2008 it generated revenue of $2.57 million, accounting for 5.04% of total sales revenue. One other aspect of our growth is that because of the government reorganization of the pharmaceutical industry, the pharmaceutical marketing environment has greater transparency than previously. The company’s distribution network in China has already expanded to reach 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Prospectively, the improvements in our production capacity will enable the large growth in sales of our new and existing products.

This year, existing, older products also showed large scale growth in sales, among the most rapidly growing were: Clarithromycin increasing by 57.4%; Andrographolide, by 46.09%; and Roxithromycin, by 51.38%.

Cost of Revenue

The cost of revenue for 2008 was approximately $25.67 million or 50.38% of total revenue, increasing $8.06 million compared to 2007, which was approximately $17.62 million or 53.09% of total revenue. The main reason for the increase in the cost of revenue was primarily due to the increase in sales, but the ratio of cost of revenue to revenue decreased.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 2007 was approximately $15.57 million, and the gross profit margin was 46.91%; while the 2008 gross profit was $25.29 million and the gross profit margin increased to reach 49.62%. The gross profit increased approximately $9.72 million, or 62.46% from 2007 to 2008, which is mainly due to the continued revenue growth in 2008 and cost control, and the company unceasingly launching new, profitable products.

Selling Expense

The selling expenses for 2008 were approximately $2.04 million, accounting for 4% of the total year’s revenue. In 2007, the selling expense was approximately $1.44 million, accounting for 4.33% of the year’s revenue. Comparing the proportion of sales expense to sales revenue over the two years shows only a slight decrease in 2008.

G & A Expenses

The general and administrative (G&A) expenses for 2008 were approximately $1.67 million, accounting for 3.28% of revenue. The G&A expenses for 2007 were approximately $1.14 million, accounting for 3.43% of revenue. Compared with 2007, the 2008 G&A expenses increased by approximately $0.53 million. The main reasons for this increase were increases in salaries, legal, accounting, and financial consultancy service fees, as well as increases in expenses associated with foreign publicity and business travel. In addition, with increases in intangible assets, there is a corresponding increase in the amortization expense of intangible assets.
 
As of December 31 2008, the allowance for bad debt was approximately $1.85 million; however as of December 31 2007, it was $0.74 million. The increase was approximately $1.11 million and corresponded to the increase in sales revenue.
 
As to the peculiarity of the Chinese pharmaceutical market environment, deferred payments to pharmaceutical companies by state-owned hospitals are a normal phenomenon. Over 90% of our drugs are sold to state-owned hospitals, which creates more payments that are deferred. Since they are backed by the government, all the deferred payments from state-owned hospitals are secure and will eventually be collected.
 
During the normal course of business we give unsecured credit to our customers. We record an allowance for bad debts based on age of outstanding accounts receivables at the end of the period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC. The percentage of a trade receivable that is deemed doubtful is as follows: 100% after 720 days; 50 % after 360 days; and 7.5% up to 360 days. We consider that this kind of bad debt allowance percentage allow us to correctly account for any contingent bad debt risk. Furthermore, during the 15 years of operating history, the company has never had any uncollected receivables.

Income from Operation 

The operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 is approximately $19.73 million, compared to $12.25 million of the same period of 2007, an increase of $7.48 million, or 61.05%. The main reason was due to large increases in revenue and gross profit.

Income from Interest 

The return in interest for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $13,363. The main reason was the abundant cash flow and the increase in the cash balance.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $131,027, compared to $237,398 of the same period of 2007; a decrease of $106,371, or 44.81%. The main reason was the comparatively good cash position in 2008, leading to a corresponding reduction in the interest on the bank loan.

Income Tax Expense 

In the year ended December 31, 2008 we paid income tax at the rate of 9%. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was roughly $1.7million or 3.35% of revenue, while the company did not have any income tax in the corresponding period in 2007, as the company was still in the preferential tax period of 0%. We have been granted a ‘tax holiday’ granting a favorable rate of 50% of the tax rates, therefore, we paid our tax at the rate of 9% in 2008.

Net Income

Due to the big increase in sales revenue and gross profit, and effective cost control in 2008, the net income for the year ended December 31, 2008, excluding the effect of foreign exchange transactions, increased to approximately $17.83 million, which was 39.11% higher than that for the year ended December 31, 2007, of approximately $12.82 million.

V. Financial Analysis 

Cash flow Analysis

As of December 31, 2008, the company possessed cash and cash equivalents of $6,927,149, which represents 9.18% of total assets; compared with $1,830,335 in the same period for 2007, which represented 4.19% of the total assets. Compared with the position of December 31, 2007, this is an increase of $5,096,814, or 278.46%. This is a combined result of an improvement in net cash generated from operating activities and an increase in net cash proceeds from financing activities. 

On December 31, 2008, the working capital was approximately $54.16 million, an increase of $ 19.86 million from the same time of 2007, which was $34.30 million. The main reason for the increase was the increase in cash and cash equivalents, and account receivables. 

In the year ended December 31, 2008, the operating activity cash flow increased to $6.54 million, a substantial increase of 222.63%, compared to $2.03 million for the same period in 2007. The main reason was the increase in net income, and improvement in accounts receivable.

In the year ended December 31, 2008, cash used for investment activity was approximately $10.44 million, an increase of approximately $9.74 million, or 1379.72%, compared to the $705,625 for the same period in 2007. This was because in 2008, the company invested in expanding the dry powder production line, as well as purchasing the production technology for four new drug formulas.

In the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash flow generated from financing activities was approximately $8.88 million, compared to $203,021 used in the same period of 2007. The reason for the increase in cash and cash equivalents was that on May 30, 2008, the Company completed an offering of equity units priced at $2.00 each, which consisted of one share of Company common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase one-fourth of one share of Company common stock at an exercise price of $2.80 per share. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock to 17 accredited investors for gross proceeds of $10,000,000. The net proceeds, after deduction of related offering expenses of $731,062, amounted to $9,268,938.

VI. Conclusion

The overall performance during the year ended December 31, 2008 was outstanding. As a public company in the pharmaceutical industry, we focus on product innovation. In order to create products that are innovative and tailored to the end user, we must concentrate on additional, innovative cooperative engagements with special R&D institutes for more market-ready products. As a result, the Company will continue to actively pursue the development and distribution of high-quality products. The pharmaceutical industry has been called an "industry of eternal sunrise", and China Pharma Holdings, Inc. forecasts that our strategy and the sustained growth in revenue will ensure our continued success.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. 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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. 

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Though not required, we also acknowledge the existence of significant internal control deficiencies discussed below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. 

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making its assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. The following significant deficiencies have been identified and included in our management's assessment as of December 31, 2008:

1)We did not maintain an effective internal audit function due to the lack of qualified internal auditors who are familiar with internal audit and U.S.GAAP( the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States), and we did not implement adequate or properly supervise significant internal control deficiencies that were or could have been detected or prevented;

2)We did not maintain effective controls over the financial reporting processes due to an insufficient complement of internal personnel with a level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial requirements; and

3)We did not have in place an adequate system for recording and reporting equity transaction related to the parent company, for instance when issuing or redeeming warrants.

Our management, however, believes that none of these internal control deficiencies are identified as material weakness or has had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 to contain a material misstatement. The reasons are as follows:

1) The management has concluded that most of the internal controls over financial reporting were effective through testing the design and operating effectiveness of those controls;

2) Those ineffective internal controls had not caused material misstatement or omission of financial reporting in practice.

Therefore, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2008. 

The management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting was not subject to auditor attestation as of December, 31 2008 pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report by our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Measures of Significant Deficiencies

To remediate the significant internal control deficiencies described above in "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting", we have implemented our plan to implement the measures described below, and will continue to evaluate and may in the future implement additional measures. 

We have planned remediation measures such as the hiring and training of personnel which are intended to generally address these significant deficiencies by ensuring that we will have sufficient personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. These measures include the following:

1) We will continue to hire the services of an accounting and SEC reporting consultant from the U.S. who has relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements under the requirements of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting disclosure under the requirement of SEC rules;

2) We plan to train up our staff internally to more thoroughly document transactions and events for better reporting and disclosure purposes. This will include memorandum documentation analyzing the transactions and applicable accounting principles to facilitate and expedite the internal audit function, the collection of data for management and disclosure purposes and for the external audit performed by our independent auditors and

3) We plan to hire an experienced internal audit supervisor to lead the current internal audit function.

We believe that we are taking the steps necessary for remediation of the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and to make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for our consolidated financial statements and the overall reporting process, including our system of financial controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities during fiscal 2008, the Audit Committee:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders of

China Pharma Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of China Pharma Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Pharma Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - Onny Investment Limited (Onny) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 12, 2005 and was a development stage enterprise through June 15, 2005. On June 16, 2005, Onny acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd, a privately held Chinese joint venture (Helpson) and emerged from the development stage.

On October 19, 2005, Onny was reorganized as a wholly owned subsidiary of China Pharma Holdings, Inc., formerly TS Electronics, (Company). The reorganization was accomplished by an exchange of Onny's common shares for 25,278,385 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a 851-for-1 exchange ratio. In addition, the prior Onny convertible preferred shareholders exchanged their shares for 6,944,611 shares of the Company's common stock resulting in a 694-for-1 exchange ratio. The reorganization of Onny into the Company was recognized as a stock split of the common stock of Onny and the effective issuance by Onny of 2,500,060 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange and the assumption of $4,473 in liabilities. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company and was recognized as a non-monetary exchange.

Nature of Operations - Helpson manufactures and markets several Western and Chinese medicines sold mainly to hospitals and private retailers in The People's Republic of China (PRC), through its marketing department located in the Hainan Province. There are also sixteen other offices, with sales representatives in other provinces and cities throughout the PRC. Helpson's other operating activities include biochemical products, health products, and cosmetics.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The functional currency of the operating subsidiaries in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY or RMB); however, the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in United States Dollars (USD). The accompanying consolidated balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income have been translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods of each statement. See Note 9.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying amounts of notes payable that were outstanding during the current period approximated fair value because of either the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximated current market rates.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits, money market accounts, and short-term certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less. Cash deposits are held at financial institutions in the PRC and are not insured by the FDIC.

Trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts - Trade receivables are carried at original invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowances for doubtful accounts are calculated based on detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting the Company's customer base.

CHINA PHARMA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. A provision is made against accounts receivable to the extent they are considered unlikely to be collected. It is common practice in the PRC for receivables to extend beyond one year. Included in trade receivables is approximately $3,383,540 that occurred more than one year from December 31, 2008, but is estimated to still be collectable.

Inventory - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on an average cost basis. The method of determining inventory costs is used consistently from year to year. Allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided when the market value of certain inventory items are lower than the cost.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets - The carrying values of the Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, the Company projects the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition over the remaining life of the asset. If projections were to indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset will not be recovered, the carrying value of the long-lived asset is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. There were no such impairments at December 31, 2008.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on sales or retirements are included in the statement of operations in the period of disposition.

Retirement Benefit Plans - The Company contributes to various employee retirement benefit plans organized by provincial governments under which it is required to make monthly contributions at rates prescribed by the provincial governments. The provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired employees of the Company. Contributions to these plans are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $46,321 and $10,393, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share - Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 potentially dilutive securities includes warrants outstanding to purchase a total of 2,969,607 and 1,202,941 shares of Company common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.38 to $3.60 per share. These potentially issuable shares were not included in the compensation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted-average common shares outstanding, respectively:

				For the Years ended December 31,
				2008			2007
Net income			$	17,833,650		$	12,819,533
Basic weighted-average common shares
outstanding				40,216,096			37,009,655
Effect of dilutive securities:
Warrants				--			250,254
Diluted weighted-average common shares
outstanding				40,216,096			37,259,909
Basic earnings per share			$	0 44		$	0 35
Diluted earnings per share			$	0 44		$	0 34

Credit Risk - The carrying amounts of accounts receivable included in the balance sheet represent the Company's exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of each customer's financial condition. It maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and such allowances in the aggregate have not exceeded management's estimations.

The Company has its cash in bank deposits primarily at state owned banks located in the PRC. Historically, deposits in PRC banks have been secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. The PRC promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006, which came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains provisions for the implementation of measures for the bankruptcy of PRC banks. In the event that bankruptcy laws are enacted for banks in the PRC, the Company’s deposits may be at a higher risk of loss.

Interest Rate Risk - The Company is exposed to the risk arising from changing interest rates, which may affect the ability of repayment of existing debts and viability of securing future debt instruments within the PRC.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 which extended the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of the portions of SFAS No. 157 that were not postponed by (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the postponed portions of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, consolidated net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the non-controlling interest and consolidated comprehensive income shall be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSB FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) and other generally accepted accounting principles. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process.  The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3 Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active (FSP FAS 157-3). FSP FAS 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities ("FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8"). FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and FIN 46(R), FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets and their involvement with variable interest entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassification – Certain 2007 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. The reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net income.

Restatement of Financial Statements   – Subsequent to March 2008, the Company realized that the December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements needed to be revised to correct an overstatement of advances paid to suppliers in amount of $724,628, an overstatement of other receivables in amount of $82,717, and an understatement of advance for purchase of intangible assets in the amount of $807,345. The Company concluded that advances made for purchase of intangible assets should be treated as a long-term asset. This correction was not considered material in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 for the year ended December 31, 2007 but is considered significant. As a result, the Company corrected the financial statements for December 31, 2007. The corrected consolidated balance sheet is included in these financial statements. The correction of the December 31, 2007 financial statements had no effect on the previously reported net income. The effect of the restatement was as follows:

NOTE 5 - DEBT

Short Term Notes Payable –On July 13, 2007, the Company entered into a new line of credit with the bank collateralized by certain land use rights, machinery and equipment. The outstanding advance made under the line of credit was $2,324,278 at December 31, 2007. The line of credit was renewed during the first quarter of 2008 with due dates of August and September of 2008 with interest payable monthly at the rate of 7.84%.

On December 24, 2008 the Company entered into a new line of credit with the bank collateralized by certain land use rights, buildings, machinery and equipment. The outstanding advance made under the line of credit was $2,480,231 at December 31, 2008 bears interest at a rate of 6.372% and matures on November 23, 2009.

Short Term Notes Payable to Former Shareholders - In January 2006, the Company converted its dividend payable of $4,402,147 into short-term notes bearing interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum. The final principal balance of $369,150 was paid in January, 2008. The accrued interest of $213,545 was paid during the second quarter of 2008.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any tax credit carry forwards available. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiary since acquisition amounted to approximately $40.8 million at December 31, 2008. Those earnings, as well as the investment in the subsidiaries of approximately $17 million are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the PRC. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, (EIT Law), and on December 6, 2007, the State Council of China issued the Implementation Regulations for the EIT Law which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementation Regulations Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and Foreign Invested Entities, or FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions.

The Company is located in a special region, which had a 15% corporate income tax rate before the new EIT Law. The new EIT Law abolished the preferential corporate income tax rate in the special region. However, because the Company was in existence prior to the March 16, 2007 China tax law change, it will gradually transition to the new 25% tax rate over the next five years starting on January 1, 2008. The phase-in income tax rate is 18% for 2008, 20% for 2009, 22% for 2010, 24% for 2011, and 25% for 2012 and after. Also, the Company is permitted to use their remaining tax holiday, so they will continue to have a favorable income tax rate of 50% in effect during fiscal 2008 through 2010 as determined by the PRC government and the regional tax authorities.

As a result of the above changes, the Company’s enterprise income tax rates are as follows:

				Enterprise Income
Year				Tax Rate
2008				9%
2009				10%
2010				11%
2011				24%
2012 and after				25%

During 2007, according to federal law in the PRC, enterprises with foreign investment and foreign enterprises doing business in the PRC were generally subject to federal enterprise income tax at a rate of 30%. However, because the Company is located in a special region, it had a 15% corporate income tax rate and had been granted a “tax holiday” during which it paid no income taxes through December 31, 2007.

Income tax expense is comprised of the following:

				Year Ended December 31,
				2008			2007
Current			$	1,965,065		$	-
Deferred				(257,447	)		(162,872	)
Total income tax expense (benefit)			$	1,707,618		$	(162,872	)

Following is a reconciliation of income taxes calculated at the federal statutory rates to actual income tax expense:

				December 31,
				2008			2007
Tax at statutory rate of 25% for 2008 and 33% for 2007			$	4,977,091		$	4,176,698

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES

Economic environment - Significantly all of the Company's operations are conducted in the PRC, and therefore the Company is 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 fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate. The Company's results from operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The unfavorable changes in global macroeconomic factors may also adversely affect the Company’s operations.

In addition, all of the Company's revenue is denominated in the PRC's currency of 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.
