GFRP and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

NOTE3
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

·
Use of estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·
Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GFRP and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·
Equity method of accounting

Under Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), consolidation of a majority-owned subsidiary is precluded where control does not rest with the majority owner. From May 1, 2007, GFRP’s subsidiary Medicine ceased business and leased out its business license. Accordingly, GFRP deconsolidated Medicine and accounted Medicine for under the equity method of accounting.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the investment in the investee be reported using the equity method under the provision of ASC, Topic 323, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (“ASC 323”) when an investor corporation can exercise significant influence over the operations and financial policies of an investee corporation. When the equity method of accounting is used, the investor initially records the investment in the stock of an investee at cost. The investment account is then adjusted to recognize the investor’s share of the income or losses of the investee when it is earned by the investee. Such amounts are included when determining the net income of the investor in the period they are reported by the investee.

As a result of deconsolidation under ASC 810 and the application of the equity method under ASC 323, GFRP had a negative basis in its investment in Medicine, the Equity Investee, because the subsidiary generated significant losses and intercompany liabilities in excess of its asset balances. This negative investment, “Loss in excess of investment in an unconsolidated affiliate” is reflected as a single amount on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as approximately $801,099 as of September 30, 2010.

Since Medicine’s results are no longer consolidated and GFRP believes that it is not obligated to fund future operating losses at Medicine, any adjustments reflected in Medicine’s financial statements subsequent to May 1, 2007 are not expected to affect the results of operations of GFRP.

·
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

·
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recovered $46,207 from allowance for doubtful accounts.

·
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company quarterly reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, no inventory allowance was provided for the periods.

·
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

   
Depreciable life
 
Residual value
 
Buildings
 
20 – 40 years
    5 %
Plant and equipment
 
5 – 16 years
    5 %
Motor vehicles
 
8 –12 years
    5 %
Furniture, fixture and office equipment

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment as of September 30, 2010.

·
Revenue recognition

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

(a)
Medical service revenue

Pursuant to the agreements entered into between the Company and Tang Du Hospital (“the Hospital”) dated February 2, 2006, the Company and the Hospital would jointly operate the medical center in the provision of diagnostic imaging services to the patients. In return, the Company and the Hospital would share net revenues from services rendered, on a monthly basis, when earned, at their net realizable amounts from patients for services rendered at contractually established billing rates, after deducting the total operating cost of the centers. The Company recognizes net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the center.

The Company records the revenue, net of business tax, from the customers through the Hospital, on a net basis in compliance with EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”

(b)
Product sales

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale and trading of pharmaceutical products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”) under the PRC tax law which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and has recorded no reserve for sales returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

(c)
Technical service income

The Company provides technical service based upon the customer’s specifications in a term of 3 years on a monthly fixed-rate basis. The Company recognizes its monthly service fee over the service period.

(d)
Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

·
Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any 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.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2010, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company filed and cleared 2009 PRC tax return by the tax authority.

·
Net income per share

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stocks that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stocks were dilutive.

·
Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·
Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:
 
   
September 30, 2010
   
September 30, 2009
 
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate
    6.6981       6.8319  
Period-average RMB:US$1 exchange rate
    6.8164       6.8328  

·
Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

·
Segment reporting

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company operates in two reportable segments: Medical Business and Extraction Business in PRC.

·
Fair value measurement

ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, ASC 820-10 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

GFR PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
(Unaudited)

For financial assets and liabilities, fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

·
Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, trade accounts payable, amount due to a related party, income tax payable, other payables and accrued liabilities. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values.

·
Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued certain amendments as codified in ASC Topic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition; Multiple-Element Arrangements.” These amendments provide clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of these amendments in its fiscal year 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to require further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users’ understanding of (1) the nature of an entity’s credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (2) the entity’s assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. This update will be effective for the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, except for the disclosures relating to activity that occurred during a reporting period which is effective for the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Since this update addresses only disclosures related to credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, it is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, there was one customer who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue.

(b)         Major vendors

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, there was one vendor who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, there were two vendors who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases.

(c)         Credit risk

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

(d)         Exchange rate risk

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a holding company with two business segments. The Company is involved in a biological extraction business that extracts raw materials to medicine ingredients and distributes the extracted ingredients for medicine manufacturing uses by Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co., Ltd (“Bao Sai”). The Company also operates a Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center, which is a joint operation of PET Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center operated by Shan Xi New Century Scientific Investment Development Ltd. (“New Century”) in the PRC.

Bao Sai is a high-tech company in China chartered and authorized by the Chinese government for involvement in researching and inventing, manufacturing and sales of biological separation medium products. It has the technology and facilities for the separation and purification of biological products and natural medicines and manufactures the agarose products of separation media. 

 
23

 

Biological separation medium refers to the separation and purification of biological products and natural medicines, which is the core technology of biotechnology Industry. Such technology has been widely used in the producing of antibiotic products, Genetic Recombinant Medicine, the Gene Chip, bacteria production, diagnoses reagent and biochemical products. In addition to the biotechnology industry, the technology also has the wide applications and can be used for environmental protection industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry and modernization of Chinese medicine.

In the next two years, Bao Sai intends to expand the production scale of separation media technology by two or five times by developing media derivatives—civil products. With the adsorption media, civil products will be removed the harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, organic pesticides and tobacco tar etc. Civil products have a wide market and we believe they create more revenues and profits for the Company.

New Century is a medical equipment investment management company, which mainly engages in investment and management of cancer treatment equipment and provides comprehensive services for customers with advanced radiology and oncology equipment.

New Century cooperates with Tangdu Hospital in Shan Xi province, which is affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University. New Century’s medical equipment is used in Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”). The Center is a well known cancer treatment center with a team of experts, for patients in need of high-quality treatment in the industry with high authority, in the five northwestern provinces of China and the country is renowned.

New Century has successfully established a large integrated medical professional website - Medical Sina (www.120md.com), which provides extensive publicity and online integrated counseling services for patients.

New Century has established an outstanding marketing team and management team, which will extend our business to neighboring provinces of Shaanxi Province and other provinces of the country. The Center currently has owns three different devices used for radiological imaging of the brain and body and for use in cancer treatment and runs in full volume of business so that the existing equipment capacity can not meet the requirements of patients. The company’s operating revenue and profit are increasing steadily.
 
The Company intends to continue to invest in the construction and management of cancer treatment equipment in the next few years. With its resources, technologies and services, the Company believes it will seize market opportunities, gradually expand the treatment capacity and improve profitability by the addition of cancer treatment centers or hospitals. The Company may build an integrated service center with prevention, screening, treatment and rehabilitation capabilities in the Northwest of China.
 
The Company needs additional capital to finance its expansion plans.  The Company does not presently have a commitment for such additional capital and there is no assurance such capital can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 
Revenues

The revenue from our operation of the Center increased from $896,387 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1,184,821 for the same period of 2010, an increase of 32.18%; and increased from $ 2,424,264 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $ 3,108,446 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 28.22%. In the third quarter of 2010, the cancer treatment business accounted for $1,184,821 (99.15%) of our revenue. The product sales generated $10,197of revenue in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to $113,091 in the same period of 2009. Our overall revenues for the third quarter of 2010 increased from $1,009,478 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1,195,018 for the same period of 2010, an increase of 18.38%. Likewise, our overall revenue increased from $2,556,520 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $3,171,283 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was attributed primarily to the increased service revenue from the Center.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were $151,814 as compared to $188,381 for the same period of 2009, a decrease of $36,567, a decrease of 19.4%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our operating expenses decreased from $674,504 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $514,156, a decrease of 23.8%. This decrease was attributable to the reduction of professional and consultancy expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.

 
24

 
 
Net Income

Net income attributable to GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $376,077 and $898,679 respectively, compared to $671,692 and $1,799,644 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase was primarily due to our increased revenue from New Century, a slight decrease of our operating expenses and increased technical service revenue from Bao Sai for the third quarter of 2010.

We hope to remain profitable in 2010 through the implementation of our marketing strategies.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations during this period. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of sales by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.

Our business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars.  The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments.  While our net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; the translation adjustments are added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business.

Our working capital deficit was decreased from $1,760,129 as of December 31, 2009 to $99,032 as of September 30, 2010, which was mainly attributable to the increase in cash and cash equivalents generated from operating activities in New Century.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $4,322,122 as of December 31, 2009 to $6,256,892 as of September 30, 2010, an increase of $1,934,770 or 44.76%.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Zhao Yan Ding, and Principal Financial Officer, Zhong Ya Li, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2010, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
