GFR PHARMACEUTICALS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “GFRP”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 1996 as Laredo Investment Corp. On August 9, 2004, Laredo Investment Corp. changed its name to GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, mainly engages in a joint operation of a Positive Emission Tomography (“PET”) Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center in Xian City, Shaanxi Province, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

Xi'an Hua Long Yu Tian Scientific and Technological Industry Co., Ltd. (“Hua Long”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on December 23, 1999. Its principal activity is an investment holding of 95% equity interest in New Century Scientific Investment Ltd. (“New Century”).

New Century was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on November 23, 2001 with a registered capital of RMB30,000,000 (equivalent to US$3,636,000). It jointly operates a PET Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center with Tong Du Hospital ("the Hospital") in Xian City, Shaanxi Province, the PRC. The duration of the operation was 11 years and it will expire in 2017.

On May 14, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-Technology Co., Ltd ("Bao Sai") pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) dated January 1, 2008, between GFRP and Bao Sai for a consideration of $4,500,211 (approximately RMB33,000,000) for 96.77% of its equity interest in Bao Sai, based on the aggregate net book value of total assets and liabilities of Bao Sai as of December 31, 2007. The closing date was January 1, 2008. Upon the completion of the transaction, Bao Sai became a subsidiary of the Company.

GFRP, Hua Long, New Century and Bao Sai are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $2,168,844 that indicates the Company may need additional financing to meet cash requirements for its operations in order to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is depending upon its ability to maintain profitable operations and to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required. The Company has generated net income and positive cash inflows from operating activities during the periods ended September 30, 2009. The Company will devote more resources on marketing in order to increase the market share and improve the operating performance. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Equity Method of Accounting

Under FASB ASC 860-10-60 (formerly Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 “Consolidation of Financial Statements (as Amended)” (“ARB 51”)), 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 FASB ASC 323-10-15 (formerly Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”) 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 and the application of the equity method under FASB ASC 860-10-60, 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 Equity Investee,” is reflected as a single amount on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an approximate $785,744 liability as of September 30, 2009. (See Note 14)

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. The reversal of the Company’s liability into income will occur when Medicine commences business and generates operating profit. GFRP will continue to evaluate the equity method investment in Medicine quarterly to review the reasonableness of the liability balance.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs were included in operating expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, shipping and handling costs were $80,956 and $72,836 respectively.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 720-35 (formerly SOP 93-7, “Reporting for Advertising Costs”). No advertising expense was incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Research and development expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in operating expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, research and development costs expensed to operating expenses were approximately $27,906 and $524,042 respectively.

Comprehensive income

FASB ASC 220-10 (formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting 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 the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income 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.

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 consolidated statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, Hua Long, New Century and Bao Sai maintain their books and records in its local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with FASB ASC 830-10-15 (formerly SFAS No 52. “Foreign Currency Translation”), 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 resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Recently issued accounting standards

Foreign currency

The Company uses United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. However, the Company maintains the books and records in its functional currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted. In general, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:-
   
As of September 30, 2009
   
As of December 31, 2008

Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as 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 on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and short-term debts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2009. 

In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the single source of authoritative U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC superseded all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and any prior sources of U.S. GAAP not included in the ASC or grandfathered are not authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP but changes the approach by referencing authoritative literature by topic (each a “Topic”) rather than by type of standard. The ASC has been effective for the Company effective July 1, 2009. Adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but references in the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to former FASB positions, statements, interpretations, opinions, bulletins or other pronouncements are now presented as references to the corresponding Topic in the ASC.

Effective January 1, 2009, the first day of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 (formerly FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”), which 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 ("SFAS 142"), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company will apply ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 prospectively to intangible assets acquired subsequent to the adoption date.  The adoption of these revised provisions had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815-10-65 (formerly SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), which amends and expands previously existing guidance on derivative instruments to require tabular disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses., This ASC also requires disclosure regarding the credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 
 
During 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 (formerly FSP FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement 157"), which deferred the provisions of previously issued fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to the first fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2008. Deferred nonfinancial assets and liabilities include items such as goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FASB ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued accounting standards (continued)

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810-10-65 (formerly SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51"), which amends previously issued guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. Among other requirements, this Statement requires that the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement.  The adoption of the provisions in this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-10, (formerly SFAS 141R, "Business Combinations"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  In addition, the provisions in this ASC require that any additional reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowance established in connection with our fresh start reporting on January 7, 1998 be recorded as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction to the goodwill established in connection with the fresh start reporting. The Company will apply ASC 805-10 to any business combinations subsequent to adoption.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-20 (formerly FSP FAS 141R-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies"), which amends ASC 805-10 to require that an acquirer recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of such an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, the acquirer should apply the provisions of ASC Topic 450, Contingences, to determine whether the contingency should be recognized at the acquisition date or after such date. FSP The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65 (formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"), which amends previous guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 320-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments"). Under ASC 320-10-65, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized if the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or the Company is more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In addition, ASC 320-10-65 requires impairments related to credit loss, which is the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis for each security, to be recognized in earnings while impairments related to all other factors to be recognized in other comprehensive income. The adoption of ASC 320-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly"), which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on the

Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New accounting pronouncements to be adopted

In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (formerly FASB FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets”), which expands the disclosure requirements about plan assets for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans. The Company is required to adopt these disclosure requirements  in the fourth quarter of 2009. It is expected the adoption of these disclosure requirements will have no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (not yet reflected in FASB ASC). SFAS No. 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (i.e. the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010), for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (not yet reflected in FASB ASC). The standard amends FIN No. 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary are also required by the standard. SFAS No. 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN No. 46(R). This Statement will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009  (i.e. the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. As such, the Company will adopt this Statement for interim and annual periods ending after January 1, 2010.  It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August, 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05 (“Update 2009-05”) to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities under FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, "Fair Value  Measurements").  The Company is required to adopt Update 2009-05 in the fourth quarter of 2009.  It is expected the adoption of this Update will have no material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASC Updates:

Recently issued accounting standards (continued)
 
·           ASU No. 2009-14 - Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (formerly EITF Issue No. 09-3) . This standard removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and also provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product, such as embedded software, are within the scope of the software revenue guidance.
 
·           ASU No. 2009-13 - Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1).  This standard modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction.  This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.
 
These Accounting Standards Updates should 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.  Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt these standards on a retrospective basis, but both these standards must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method.  The Company expects to apply this standard on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact these standards may have on its financial position and results of operations.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF INTEREST IN BAO SAI

On January 1, 2008, the Company acquired 96.77% equity interest in Bao Sai in exchange for notes payable aggregating $4,500,211 as described below.

NOTE 14 INVESTMENT IN AN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATE

The Company has a 75% equity interest in Xi’an Bao Sai Medicine Co., Ltd (“Medicine”), which is registered as a limited liability company in the PRC. The Company ceased operations of Medicine in 2007 and leased out its business license for a fixed return annually. Thus, the Company does not control policy decisions in ordinary course of business of Medicine; and accordingly, investment in Medicine is accounted for under the equity method.

As of September 30, 2009, the investment in an unconsolidated affiliate is presented as follows:-

NOTE 22 CONCENTRATION AND RISK

(a) Major customers

For both periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 100% of the Company’s assets were located in the PRC and 100% of the Company’s revenues were derived from customers located in the PRC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, one customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, this customer accounted for 95% or $2,565,359 of the Company’s revenues and 37% or $407,529 of accounts receivable.
  
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, one customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, this customer accounted for 75% of the Company’s revenues and 30% of accounts receivable, amounting to $2,696,518 and $362,908, respectively.

(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 the RMB depreciates against US$, the value of the RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As used herein the terms "we", "us", "our," the “Registrant,” “GFRP” and the "Company" means, GFR Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Nevada corporation, formerly known as Laredo Investment Corp. These terms also refer to our subsidiary corporations, Xi'an Hua Long Yu Tian Ke Ji Shi Ye Co., Ltd. (“Hua Long") and New Century Scientific Investment Ltd. ("New Century") and Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-Technology Co., Ltd ("Bao Sai"), all of which are organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a holding company with two business segments.  The Company is involved in a Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center, which is a joint operation of PET Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center in the PRC. The Company also operates a biological extraction business that extracts raw materials from medicine ingredients and distributes the extracted ingredients for medicine manufacturing uses.

The Company owns 100% of Hua Long’s outstanding common stock. Hua Long is approved in China to, among other things, engage in industrial chromatography to separate and purify chemical components for further use in agricultural and biotechnology products and in medicines, as well as for the research, development, manufacture and sale of biological separation medium products. However, Hua Long currently has no operating business and serves as a holding company for the operating subsidiary, New Century. Hua Long owns 95% of the outstanding stock of New Century.   

Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center

New Century, formerly Shan Xi New Century Technology Investment Development Company Ltd.,  owns radiology and oncology equipment and provides it to Tangdu Hospital in the Shan Xi province, which is affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University. New Century currently owns three different devices used for radiological imaging of the brain and body and for use in cancer treatment. The Company’s medical equipment is used in Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”).   The Center averaged approximately 292 cases per month for the nine months of 2009, compared to 237 cases per month in the same period of 2008, New Century is paid a percentage of profits from the Center.  The Center’s diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology treatments and equipment are all covered by the Chinese national medical insurance system, which provides greater assurance that the Company will continue to generate reliable revenues from the Center.  

New Century entered into its relationship with Tangdu Hospital on February 2, 2006, when it accepted the rights and responsibilities previously held by Masep Medical Science & Technology Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Masep”) which Masep undertook pursuant to the “Cooperation Establishment of ‘Tangdu Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center’ Agreement” by and between Masep and Tangdu Hospital, dated May 18, 2001, as amended (the “Tangdu Agreement”). New Century’s share the profits generated by the Center decreases over the term of the Tangdu Agreement, which is sixteen years from the date that the Center opened in January 2002. The respective profit sharing ratios and time periods are as follows:

1.
From January 2002 through December 2003, 90% to Masep;

2.
From January 2004 through December 2008, 80% to Masep (or to New Century, giving effect to the assignment as of February 2006);
 
27

 
 
3.
From January 2009 through December 2011, 70% to New Century;

 
4.
From January 2012 through December 2014, 60% to New Century;
 
 
5.
From January 2015 through December 2017, 50% to New Century.

Pursuant to the Tangdu Agreement, New Century has the power to appoint the Director of the Gamma Knife Center. Upon the termination of the Tangdu Agreement, the Tangdu Hospital has an option to purchase the equipment for fifty percent of its residual value.

Biological Separation Medium Product and Pharmaceutical Business

In 2008, New Century acquired a 96.77% equity interest in Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co Ltd. (“Bao Sai”). Bao Sai is engaged in research, development, manufacture and distribution of biological separation medium products which are used to recover and purify biosynthetic products, particularly pharmaceuticals, from natural sources such as animal or plant tissue or fermentation broth, including the recycling of salvageable components and the proper treatment and disposal of waste. Biological separation medium products are integral to the production of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, hormones (e.g. insulin and human growth hormone), antibodies, and vaccines; antibodies and enzymes used in diagnostics; industrial enzymes; and natural fragrance and flavor compounds.        Bao Sai is focused on the research and development of new pharmaceutical and agricultural medium products, and the networking and marketing of these products.

Revenues
 
We have two business segments – the Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center at Tangdu Hospital and the  biological extraction business that extracts raw materials from medicine ingredients and distributes the extracted ingredients for medicine manufacturing uses.  We are dependent on the continued success of the operations at the cancer diagnostic and treatment business to continue our operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the cancer treatment business accounted for $2,424,264 (94.8%) of our revenue and generated $1,226,645 of net income.  The extraction business accounted for $132,256 of revenue (5.2%) but lost $275,225 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Entering the third quarter of 2009, we continued to realize our revenues from the business operations of two subsidiaries: New Century and Bao Sai. New Century jointly operates a PET Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center with Tangdu Hospital in Xi’an city, Shaanxi Province. New Century owns radiology and oncology equipment and provides it to Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”) in Shaan Xi province, which is affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University. As a result, of providing this equipment, New Century receives a percentage of profits from the Center, currently 70%. New Century currently owns three devices used for radiological imaging for the brain and body and for use in cancer treatment. We recognize net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the centers. The service revenues are recorded when services are received by the customers and the amounts net of provisions for discounts, allowance and taxes are recognized at the time services are performed.

The revenue from our operation of the Center decreased from $941,336 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to $896,387 for the same period of 2009. Likewise, the same revenue decreased from $2,517,325 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $ 2,424,264 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, the Center, on average, handled approximately 292 cases per month, compared to 237 cases per month in the same period of 2008.  The decreased revenues from our operation of the Center was attributed in part to the change of profit sharing ratios between us and Tangdu Hospital. New Century receives 70% of the revenues of the Centers in 2009, compared to 80% in 2008.

Similarly, the revenue from our extraction business operated by Bao Sai subsidiary also decreased from $329,778 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $132,256 during the same period of 2009. Such decrease was principally due to the financial crisis in the year of 2008 which had an adverse effect on our sales to the customers. .However, the revenue from our extraction business increased by $26,080 or 30% to $113,091 during the third quarter of 2009, compared to $87,011 during the third quarter of 2008. As the economy revives and our marketing efforts on the new products succeed, we hope that our revenue from this segment of business continues to increase.

As a result, our overall revenues for the third quarter of 2009 slightly decreased to $1,009,478 from $1,028,347 for the same period ended September 30, 2008. Likewise, our overall revenue decreased from $2,847,103 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2,556,520 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As we complete our transition stage in the Bao Sai operation, we believe we will be able to increase our market share in the industry and thus hope to increase our overall revenues in the future.

Expenses
 
Our operating expenses for the third quarter of 2009  were reduced to $331,892, a decrease of $61,055 or 15.5% from $392,947 for the same period of 2008. Our operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were reduced to $1,080,882, a decrease of $ 211,243 or 16.3% from $1,292,125 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The reduction in our operating expenses was due primarily to the decrease of our business scope and scale as a result of our acquisition of Bao Sai in November 2008, despite the addition of approximately 50 full time employees as a result of the acquisition.

Net Income

Our net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $397,650 and $951,420 respectively, compared to $543,674 and $1,453,159 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The reduction of our net income was primarily due to our decreased revenue as a result of our business adjustment after our acquisition of Bao Sai. As we complete our business adjustment and our operation of Bao Sai expands in the future, we hope that our net income will increase.

Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations during this period covered by this report. 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. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2009, the effect of converting our financial results to Dollars was to add $475 and $350, respectively, to our comprehensive income.

Working capital increased by $1,503,806 from $(3,672,650) at December 31, 2008 to $(2,168,844)at September 30, 2009, and stockholder’s equity also increased from $3,145,525 to $4,097,330 for the same periods. The primary reason for the increase in working capital in 2008 was the substantial decrease of our debts to our related parties. In connection with our acquisition of Bao Sai on January 1, 2008, we incurred a payment obligation in the amount of $4,500,211 payable to the former owners of Bao Sai.  As of September 30, 2009, we only have a note payable in the amount of $563,296 due on December 31, 2009, as compared to $2,493,318 as of December 31, 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, our cash decreased significantly to $30,289, compared to $552,398 as of December 31, 2008. This decline is primarily due to repayment of the notes payable to related parties arising from the acquisition of Bao Sai, which reduced the amount from $2,493,318 as of December 31, 2008 to $563,296 as of September 30, 2009.

      The net cash provided by operating activities was $1,630,952 during nine months ended September 30, 2009, a significant increase of $595,761 or 57.5% compared to $1,035,191 from operating activities during the same period ended September 30, 2008. However, our net cash used in investment activities decreased significantly to $(1,932,453) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the positive cash of $ 519,271 provided by investing activities during the same period of 2008. The reduced amount was used to repay the notes payable to related parties. Meanwhile, net cash used in financing activities was reduced to $(220,793) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

On September 30, 2007, the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary, Bao Sai, disposed of its investment of a 75% equity interest in HuaYang for a cash consideration of $1,097,358 (equivalent to RMB7, 500,000). The balance of  $2,493,318 was evidenced by an unsecured and interest-free loan repayable in 4 installments being due in full, by December 31, 2008. However, the balance was overdue as of December 31, 2008, and an agreement was entered into by both parties to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2009. As collectibility has been considered doubtful, an allowance of doubtful debt was made fully on the notes receivable.  As of September 30, 2009, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $515,449 ($515,026 recorded as a doubtful account receivable on December 31, 2008, with total accounts receivable totaling $1,174,355), compared to $1,107,345 as of September 30, 2008. The inability to collect more outstanding receivables can adversely affect our operations. The failure of the Company to collect this receivable has adversely affected the Company’s liquidity.
 
30


In connection with the purchase of Bao Sai, we still have a note payable in the amount of $563,296 due on December 31, 2009 for the balance of the purchase price.  We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to satisfy this obligation from internally generated funds. In such event, we would need to obtain funds from related parties or outside sources or seek to renegotiate the terms of the loan, of which there can be no assurance.

We also advanced to Xi’an Bao Sai Medicine Co., Ltd (“Medicine”) a loan in the principal amount of $1,103,046 which was unsecured and interest-free. Bao Sai has a 75% equity interest in Medicine. The Company does not expect repayment of this loan because Medicine ceased operations in 2007.

In addition, our principal shareholder, Mr. Lian Guo contributed a loan to fund our operations. As of September 30, 2009, the balance of the loan was $1,954,178 which was unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.

We have funded our cash needs from inception through September 30, 2009 primarily with a series of debt and equity transactions, including notes payable to related parties of $563,296, accounts payable of $123,457, and a loan from our principal shareholder, in the amount of $1,954,178. If we are unable to receive additional cash from our related parties, we need to rely on financing from outside sources through debt or equity transactions. Our related parties are under no legal obligation to provide us with capital infusions. Failure to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.

Based on the financial resources available, management believes the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to maintain profitable operations in its medical business and to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required. The Company has generated positive cash inflows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company will devote more resources on marketing in order to increase the market share and improve the operating performance. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient cash flow and either obtain additional financing or refinancing to meet its obligations on a timely basis for the foreseeable future.

Item 4. 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, 2009, 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.
