As used in this annual report on Form 10-KSB, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "the Company," and "Eternal Technologies" refer to Eternal Technologies Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
General
 
 
Eternal Technologies Group, Inc. is engaged in agricultural genetics and medical equipment manufacturing and distribution operating in the People's Republic of China. We focus on the development and application of advanced animal husbandry techniques to produce improved food products, the development, manufacturing and marketing of medical equipment and technologies used in the detection and prevention of breast cancer in humans.
 
 
Our agricultural genetics/animal husbandry operations are concentrated in the application of advanced embryonic biotechnology techniques with the objective being to shorten the development time for animal development resulting in increased output and profitability and reduced use of animal feed. Since 2000, we have utilized our advanced breeding techniques and marketed fine bred animal embryos, breeding stock and breeding services to develop larger, stronger and healthier sheep. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we began the production and sale of lamb meat and began application of our advanced breeding techniques to the breeding of higher-yielding purebred Holstein dairy cattle.
 
 
Our development, manufacturing and marketing of medical equipment and medical technologies are focused in the development of breast cancer detection technology with the objective of earlier detection. We manufacture a device which , if widely accepted, could substantially decrease the costs and therefore increase the availability of breast cancer detection in many areas in Asia. We entered this industry in October of 2005 with the acquisition of the assets of E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International, Ltd.
 
 
Our principal executive offices are located at Suite D, 5/F, Block A, Innotec Tower, 235 Nanjing Road Heping District, Tianjin, PRC 300052 and our telephone number is 011-86-22-2721-7020. We also maintain offices in Shenzhen, China at the Golden Central Tower Suite 2007, 3037 Jintian Rd., Shenzhen, China 518048.

History and Development of the Company
 
 
Eternal Technologies Group, Ltd, was incorporared in the British Virgin Island (BVI) on March, 2000. We conduct operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eternal Technology Group Ltd. ("Eternal - BVI"), a British Virgin Islands company, and its subsidiaries and E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International Ltd., ("E-Sea") also a BVI company, and Willsley Company Limited (Willsley)
 
 
Eternal - BVI acquired 100% of Willsley Company Limited in May 2000. Willsley is a holding company that owns 100% of Inner Mongolia Aershan Agriculture & Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd. ("Aershan Agriculture"). Aershan Agriculture conducts breeding operations and owns a farm in Inner Mongolia which it leases to a Chinese company ("lessee") for 4,620,000RMB per year for approximately USD$579,000 per year. The lessee intends to raise fast growing trees on the property for lumber.
 
 
During 2005 we acquired certain assets, subject to certain liabilities of E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International, Ltd. E-Sea's principal activities are the manufacture, sale and licensing of medical devices used to detect breast cancer.
 
 
Our current agricultural operations are focused on developing superior livestock breeds in order to improve the quality and yield of livestock in China as well as the profitability of livestock operations. We initially imported embryos from Australia and the United States, but are utilizing our facilities and expertise to develop a herd of "carrier animals" to produce a domestic supply of embryos, hereby eliminating our dependence on third party foreign embryo suppliers and reducing the cost of embryos. Under this program, we transfer fine-breed sheep and dairy cattle embryos into recipient animals and sell the pregnant animals to customers with the offspring serving as breeding or commercial stock.
 
 
We utilize our fine-breed livestock embryos and our breeding and biotech expertise to offer a range of livestock breeding services and products, including sale of embryos, artificial insemination and embryo transplant services, both at our facilities and on-site, and related products and services designed to improve production, quality and profitability of Chinese livestock operators.
 
 
We also process and sell mutton from our higher yielding, higher quality genetically engineered stock.
 
 
Our current medical operations are centered around E-Sea and expanding our market in China, both through the sales of our medical detection devices and leasing them on a per usage basis. We are also exploring acquisitions to expand and complement the E-Sea line of medical equipment.
 
During February 2007, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (“the Agreement”) by which it expended $14,850,000 RMB in cash, approximately $3,800,000 USD and 2,719,730 shares of common stock valued at $.63 US in exchange for 22% interest in the common stock of Changsha Hong Yuan Aquatic Product, Inc. (“Hong Yuan”). Hong Yuan is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the PRC and currently its operations focus on the breeding and sale of turtles. In accordance with the Agreement, Hong Yuan has committed to pay the Company a guaranteed return on its investment of $3,000,000 RMB per year either in cash or the equivalent in additional shares of its common stock.
 
On October 15, 2007, the Company acquired a 30% equity interest, respectively, in Hainan Futian Green Agriculture Ltd. ("Hainan") a mango farm, and Maoming Huatong Orchard Trading Co., Ltd. ("Maoming") a Lychee farm. For the acquisition of the interest in Hainan, the Company paid $33,000,000 RMB in cash, approximately US$4,400,000, and issued 2,133,333 shares of its common stock valued at $.84 USD based on the closing price of the stock.  For the acquisition of the interest in Maoming, the Company paid $36,000,000 RMB in cash, approximately US$4,800,000 and issued 2,444,444 shares of its common stock valued at $.84 USD based on the closing price of the stock. Both companies are incorporated under the laws of the PRC. The Mango farm has a guaranteed minimum annual return on investment of $6,800, 000 RMB and will increase by a minimum of 1% for ten years. The Lychee farm has a guaranteed minimum annual return on investment of $7,800,000 RMB and will increase by 1% for five years.  If the farms are unable to meet the  guaranteed minimum annual returns on investment with cash flows from their operation, they must meet the obligations by returning an equivalent amount of the company's shares originally issued to them as part of the investment purchase.

Historically, our business has been highly seasonal with nearly all of our revenues being generated in the fourth quarter. While our business will remain seasonal it should be less cyclical in the future because of the sale of lamb meat, embryo transfers to dairy cattle and the acquisition of E-Sea thereby making our overall business less seasonal.
 
 
Medical Equipment Operations E-Sea
 
 
E-Sea manufactures and sells a medical device known as a "Three-operator Mammary Gland Detecting System." This device is used to examine persons and detect early stage breast cancer. We anticipate wide acceptance of this product as it is a low cost alternative to expensive and often times unavailable mammography.
 
 
Facility. We manufacture and sell the medical equipment from a facility in Shenzhen, PRC. The facility is approximately nine-thousand square feet and contains manufacturing machinery, workspace, and administrative offices.
 
 
The marketing of scanners produced by E-Sea is principally done through independent distributors. Our agricultural products  and services are marketed by company personnel.
 
 
Potential Acquisitions
 
 
We intend to evaluate various potential acquisitions of companies and facilities in order to expand the scope of our operations and accelerate our growth. Specifically, we intend to evaluate the acquisition of companies or facilities to provide feedlot, dairy processing, slaughterhouse and meat processing, animal fattening and similar capabilities. However, there are no current agreements to purchase any companies or facilities.
 
 
Competition
 
 
Both the agriculture and medical equipment industries are highly competitive. While animal genetics is a relatively new field in China several large foreign companies such as Smithfield Foods, Inc. of the United States and Sumitomo Corporation of Japan have entered the market and compete with us in the development and delivery of advanced animal husbandry products and services. Likewise in the medical equipment field, companies such as Siemens and General Electric have entered the market to compete with us. These companies have a substantial advantage due to their size and the name recognition each enjoys.
 
 
Increased competition in the agriculture industry could have a material adverse effect on us, as our competitors may have far greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than those we possess.
 
 
Intellectual Property
 
 
There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the future with respect to current or future products and technologies. We are responsible for defending against charges of infringement of third party intellectual property rights by our actions and products and such assertion may require us to refrain from the sale of our products, enter into royalty arrangements or undertake costly litigation. Further, challenges may be instituted by third parties as to the validity, enforceability and infringement of our patents.
 
 
Our adherence to industry standards with respect to our products limits our opportunities to provide proprietary features that may be protected. In addition, the laws of various countries in which our products may be sold may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States of America.

Governmental Regulation
 
 
Our business segments in general are subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations. As such, we may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations.
 
 
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our operating costs.
 
 
The Chinese regulatory scheme, in general, and the regulation of the agriculture and medical equipment industries in particular, is not well defined and is subject to substantial uncertainty. With China's entry in the World Trade Organization ("WTO"), China has implemented numerous changes to its existing laws and regulations.
 
 
Chinese laws impacting our animal husbandry operations relate primarily to health and safety regulations covering food products and environmental regulations covering waste products and other land use regulations. Food product regulations generally govern the safety of products in the food chain and the handling of those products. We believe that we are in compliance with all existing food and environmental regulations applicable to our animal husbandry operations. Because many of those regulations are new and evolving, we must continually monitor the interpretation, enforcement and modification to those regulations to assure ongoing compliance.
 
 
Our medical equipment operations are subject to extensive regulation by the Chinese government and, if we market our products outside of China, other governments may impose even greater restrictions. Chinese medical equipment regulation is evolving and subject to much uncertainty. Under current regulations, the Chinese equivalent of the United States Food And Drug Administration is responsible for monitoring, and promulgating regulations with respect to the review of clinical safety and efficacy trial, market approval of equipment and effectiveness claims, manufacturing practices, and similar matters. Failure to comply with market rules could result in fines, penalties or other adverse consequences.
 
Employees
 
 
As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, we had 68 and 70 full-time employees respectively, including employees performing administrative functions and animal husbandry services and farming functions. Third parties perform bioscience research and related services on a contract basis. The employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we do not anticipate that any of our future employees will be covered by any such agreement.
 
 
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 
 
 
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
 
We operate from four separate facilities, our administrative offices in Tianjin and Shenzhen PRC, a manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, and our farm in Inner Mongolia, PRC.
 
 
.

The administrative offices in Tianjin occupy approximately 97.8 square meters (approximately 1,053 square feet) in a commercial building. The Company rents this facility under a three-year lease, running through December 31, 2010, at $8,000 RMB (approximately US$1,100) per month. The administrative office in Shenzhen occupies approximately 150 square meters (approximately 1,585 square feet) in a high rise office building. We rented this facility under a two year lease running through October 21, 2009 at $24,324RMB (approximately US$3,300 per month).
 
 
The leased facility of E-Sea in Shenzhen is an 865 square meters (approximately 9,310 square feet) facility containing machinery for the manufacture of medical equipment, administrative offices, and storage space for raw materials. The lease expires on January 14, 2010 and requires monthly payments of $20,001RMB (approximately US$2,700).
 
 
The farm consists of approximately 2.8 million acres and is located in Inner Mongolia, PRC. We purchased the land use rights to this farm in April 2000. Land use rights with respect to our farm were purchased from the Chinese government for $6,000,000. Such rights extend through 2026. We have the option to renew the land use rights for an additional 25 years at a cost of USD$6,000,000. In April 2006 we reached an agreement to lease the farm to a Chinese company ("Lessee")for twenty years for approximately $579,000 per year. The Lessee intends to raise fast growing trees on the property for lumber and paper.
 
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
 
On August 23, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas awarded Western Securities Corporation the sum of $636,757 plus accrued interest since May 22, 2007 and attorney fees in an amount to be determined this judgement became final on October 31, 2007. The Company has several notices with the Court that it intends to appeal this judgement. The judgement will have no impact on earnings, as the potential liability had been previously accrued.
 
 
On the 4th of September 2007, the Company was served with a suit from International Capital Advisors LLC, as assignee of Market Management, Inc. seeking repayment of the sum of $250,000 alleged paid by Market Management, Inc. on behalf of the Company on the 26th of October 2007, the Plaintiff amended their petition, adding several additional causes of action and are now seeking $960,000 plus accrued interest and attorney’s fees. On September 18, 2007, the Company filed a general denial to this claim and the case is currently in discovery. It has been scheduled for trial in July, 2008.
 
 
The third cause of action involves one of the convertible promissory notes owned by Bristol Investments Limited. This cause of action was filed in State Court in New York and three times was dismissed. On March 30, 2006 without stating a new cause of action, Bristol Investments Limited re-filed the same cause of action against the Company and on December 27, 2007, the Court rendered a decision in favor of Bristol Investments Limited. The parties have since reached an oral settlement of $64,000 although, a formal settlement agreement has not been executed.
 
 
As of March 26, 2008, there are no other causes of action pending against the Company.

Our current operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Eternal Technology Group Ltd. ("Eternal Technologies - BVI"), a British Virgin Islands company, and its subsidiaries. For a more detailed description of our business please see "Item 1. Description of Business" on page 3.
 
 
Historically, our business has been highly seasonal with nearly all of our revenues being generated in the fourth quarter. This seasonality occurs because the embryo sales occur only during the fourth quarter when animals are impregnated as births occur in the spring. Other periods, other than the fourth quarter, should benefit in the future from the sale of lamb meat and embryo transplants into dairy cattle; thereby making our overall business less seasonal. We believe the acquisition of E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International, Ltd. provides further diversification of our operations, thereby reducing the seasonality of our revenues.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
 
Our critical accounting policies are those where we have made the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and/or where these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting policies are:
 
 
Inventory Valuation
 
 
Management reviews inventory balances to determine if inventories can be sold at amounts equal to or greater than their carrying amounts. The review includes identification of slow moving inventories, obsolete inventories, and discontinued products or lines of products. The identification process includes historical performance of the inventory, current operational plans for the inventory, as well as industry and customer specific trends. If our actual results differ from management expectations with respect to the selling of our inventories at amounts equal to or greater than their carrying amounts, we would be required to adjust our inventory balances accordingly.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (including Property, plant and equipment), Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets.
 
 
In accordance with applicable accounting literature, we reduce the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to their fair values when the fair value of such assets is determined to be less than their carrying amounts (i.e., assets are deemed to be impaired). Fair value is typically estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires us to estimate the future cash flows anticipated to be generated by the particular asset(s) being tested for impairment as well as select a discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows. When determining future cash flow estimates, we consider historical results adjusted to reflect current and anticipated operating conditions. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment by us in such areas as future economic conditions, industry-specific conditions, product pricing and necessary capital expenditures. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different impairment amounts (or none at all) for long-lived assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
 
 
 
10

 
 
Among our long-lived assets subject to review for impairment are our land lease rights in the PRC that are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of land lease rights was calculated on the straight-line basis over the lesser of its estimated useful life or the lease term. The principal annual rate used for amortization is 5%.
 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards are to be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We adopted SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective method. This method applies the fair value based method to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. Also, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the service is rendered on or after the required effective date. Any share based payments issued subsequent to January 1, 2006 have been accounted for under SFAS 123(R).
 
 
Contingencies
 
 
We account for contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5,”Accounting for Contingences". SFAS No. 5 requires that we record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
 
 
Revenue recognition
 
 
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104 , revenue is recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; the merchandise is delivered to the customer and title passes; and collection is reasonably assured.
 
 
Derivative instruments
 
 
In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
 
 
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements.

Results of Operations
 
 
Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
 
Revenues
 
 
Revenues increased by $6,872,615 or 23.9% to $35,590,718 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $28,718,103 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increases in embryo transfer services of $2,729,802, the sale of roll mutton of $4,421,928. An increase in rents of $468,748 and increased sales at E-Sea of $1,853,859 which were partially offset by decreases in the sale of lamb meat of $1,882,162 and cattle embryo transfer services of $719,560.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Other income (expense) increased by $1,627,839 or 370.2% to $2,067,535 for 2007 compared to income of $439,696 for 2006. The change resulted from an increase in interest income of $43,059 to $223,480, a gain on the sale of assets of $477,540 compared to $0 in the prior year, an increase in investment income of $800,533 to $1,251,554 and a positive change in the value of derivative financial instruments of $306,707 to $114,961 from $(191,746) in the prior year.
 
 
Income Taxes
 
 
Our provision for income taxes increased from $555,792 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $601,845 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase is attributable to the increased contribution to earnings of the E-Sea operations. Our agricultural operations are exempt from taxation. Only the income of E-Sea is subject to tax.
 
 
As a result of the foregoing, our earnings increased by $1,869,689 or (38.3) % to $6,751,357 for the year-ended December 31, 2007 from $4,881,668 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had cash of $12,692,479 and working capital of $36,890,802 compared to cash of $16,024,123 and working capital of $41,864,137 at December 31, 2006. We also had short-term investments of $13,827,174 as of December 31, 2007. This compares with short-term investments of $15,360,176 as of December 31, 2006. The short-term investments are somewhat equivalent to American certificates of deposit, but because of Chinese regulations, are offered by investment companies as opposed to banking who are by regulation are limited in such offerings.
 
 
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9,015,207 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This compares with cash provided by operating activities of $1,589,842 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in cash flows from operations primarily resulted from an increase in a non-cash charge for services paid with the company’s common stock and changes in the current accounts which were partially offset by a decrease in earnings, a decrease in depreciation and amortization and the items of other income.
 
 
Cash used by investing activities during 2007 was $12,577,812 compared to $6,165,656 of cash used in investing activities during 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the amounts used in investing activities were $1,304,493 for the purchase of property and equipment and $11,480,478 for the purchase of long-term investments and which was partially offset by proceeds from short-term investments of $2,728,279, proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $1,417,974 and the repayment of advances to distributors of $1,121,123. This compares with the purchase of $5,116,726 of short-term investments, advances to distributors of $11,673 and the purchases of patents for $537,257 during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
 
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $871,914 for 2007 $882,090 of which was used to purchase common stock which was partially offset by $10,176 of proceeds collected from common stock subscriptions.  For 2006, the Company had $1,200,000 of proceeds from financing activities, all from the sale of common stock.
 
Although we have a cash and cash equivalents balance of $12,692,479 and short-term investments of $13,827,174, management believes that the best return for such cash and short-term investments is in the People's Republic of China. Therefore, if we are to expand outside the PRC, as we anticipate doing, we will have to sell additional shares of our stock or borrow funds from third parties. However, because of the loosening of currency restrictions in the PRC, we can pay our non-PRC obligations from funds held in China. Therefore, in the opinion of management, we have sufficient funds to carry out our business plans for the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments
 
 
Our only material contractual obligations requiring determinable future payments on our part are a note payable to our principal shareholder and our lease relating to our executive offices in Shenzhen and Tianjin as well as the manufacturing facility in Shenzhen.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third party obligations at December 31, 2007.
 
15

 
 

Inflation
 
 
We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations since inception.
 
 
Outlook
 
 
For calendar year 2008, we will focus on three areas:
 
1.
Acquiring additional interests in agricultural facilities to complement our existing operations.
 

 
2.
A possible acquisition to compliment or expand the operations of E-Sea, or a spin-off of the operations of E-Sea.
 

 
3.
Bring the E-Sea diagnostic equipment to the USA for FDA approval and potential eventual sale. This has been delayed because the Chinese equivalent of the FDA has not yet approved the equipment from export.
 
If we are successful in implementing this strategy it should increase both our revenues and profit margins.

of Eternal Technologies Group, Inc.
 
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eternal Technologies Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
 
We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Eternal Technologies Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their 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
 
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
 
Pursuant to an exchange agreement, Eternal Technologies Group, Inc., ("Company") formerly known as Waterford Sterling Corporation, completed its acquisition of 100% interest of Eternal Technology Group LTD. and Subsidiaries on December 12, 2002. The Company has treated the transaction as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. To facilitate the reverse merger, the Company's common shares were reverse split on a one for six basis, and 95,000,000 post reverse split common shares, $.001 par value were authorized. Following the acquisition, the former shareholders of Eternal Technology Group LTD., a British Virgin Islands limited liability company, now own approximately 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Eternal Technologies Group Inc.
 
 
Eternal Phoenix Company Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on March 3, 2000. Pursuant to a resolution passed on June 17, 2000 Eternal Phoenix Company Limited changed its name to Eternal Technology Group Ltd., ("Eternal"). Eternal is a holding company for investments in operating companies.
 
 
Eternal acquired a 100% equity interest in Willsley Company Limited ("Willsley") on July 15, 2000. Willsley was incorporated in the British Virgin Island with limited liability on May 16, 2000.
 
 
Willsley's principal activity is investments and owns 100% of Inner Mongolia Aershan Agriculture & Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd ("Aershan").
 
 
Aershan was incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("the PRC") with limited liability on July 11, 2000 and its principal activities are to transplant embryos and to propagate quality sheep meat and other livestock breeds in Inner Mongolia. During the year ended December 31, 2005, this facility was leased to a Chinese company that intends to raise a fast-growing type of tree to meet the growing demand for lumber and paper in the PRC.
 
 
E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International Ltd. ("E-Sea") was incorporated on October 20, 2004 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. E-Sea owns all of the issued and outstanding stock of E-Sea Shenzhen, which owns various Chinese patents for medical technology. E-Sea was acquired as of the close of business on September 30, 2005 for 5,709,875 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $.40 which was the closing price of the stock as of the date the transaction was negotiated, and $2,283,950 in cash.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 
3. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
 
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand and demand deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.
 
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of uncollectible amounts in its existing accounts receivable. Management analyzes historical collection trends and changes in its customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts annually. Account balances deemed uncollectible are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.
 
 
Inventory
 
 
Inventories are measured at lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out ("FIFO") formula. The Company reviews its inventory quarterly to identify slow moving, obsolete or otherwise impaired inventory. The identification process includes historical performance of the inventory, current operational plans for the inventory, as well as industry and customer specific trends. If actual results differ from management expectations with respect to the selling of inventories at amounts equal to or greater than their carrying amounts, an adjustment to inventories would be made.
 
 
Fixed assets and depreciation
 
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives used for this purpose are as follows:
 
Office Equipment
5 years
Infrastructure in Inner Mongolia
25 years
Buildings
25 years
Equipment
5 years
Cows
5 years
Other
5 years
 
In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded

ETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
value may not be recoverable. When such events and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made.
 
 
Land lease rights and amortization
 
 
Land lease rights in Mainland China are stated at the amount of the prepayment less accumulated amortization. Amortization of land lease rights is calculated on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease of approximately 25 years. The land lease rights with respect to the Company's farm were originally purchased from the Chinese government for US $6,000,000 and such rights extend through 2026. The Company has the option to renew the land lease rights for an additional 25 years at a cost of $6,000,000. The farm is located in Wulagai Development Area in Inner Mongolia.
 
 
Amortization expense during 2007 and 2006 was $270,666 and $258,300, respectively.
 
 
Intangible Assets
 
 
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of finite-lived intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. When such events and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made.
 
 
Income taxes
 
 
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are subject to tests of recoverability. A valuation allowance is provided for such deferred tax assets to the extent realization is not judged to be more likely than not.
 
 
Foreign currency translation
 
 
The Company's reporting currency is the United States of America Dollar ("USD"). The Company maintains no material accounts in currency of the United States of America. All of the subsidiaries maintain their books and accounts in the People's Republic of China currency, which is called Renminbi ("RMB"). Translation of the balance sheet amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the single rate of exchange on December 31, 2007 and 2006 of 7.3141 and 7.82 RMB/US$, respectively. The income statement has been translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the year of 7.6172 RMB/US$ and 7.98 RMB/US$ for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No representation is made as to whether the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2007 or 2006 or at any other date.

ETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
The quotation of the exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
 
 
Revenue recognition
 
 
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue from the sale of livestock, embryos, and raw materials is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; the merchandise is delivered to the customer and title passes; and collection is reasonably assured.
 
 
Advertising
 
 
Indirect-response advertising costs are charged to operations the first time the advertising takes place. The cost of direct-response advertising is not significant.
 
 
Research and development
 
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
 
Stock-based compensation
 
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards are to be remeasured each reported. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective method. This method applies the fair value based method to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. Also, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the service is rendered on or after the required effective date. Any stock based payments issued subsequent to January 1, 2006 will be accounted for under SFAS 123(R).
 
 
Employees' benefits
 
 
Mandatory contributions are made to the Government's health, retirement benefit and unemployment programs at the statutory rates in force during the period, based on gross salary payments. The cost of these payments is charged to the statement of income in the same period as the related salary cost.
 
 
Non-monetary transactions
 
 
The Company accounts for non-monetary transactions in accordance with APB Opinion No. 29.
 
 
 
26

 
 

 
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
 
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
 
 
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
 
 
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method. When the instrument is convertible preferred stock, the dividends payable are recognize as they accrue and, together with the periodic amortization of the discount, are charged directly to retained earnings.
 
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed periodically, including at the end of each reporting period. If re-classification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is re-classified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
 
Registration rights agreements
 
 
In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments (including common stock), the Company may enter into Registration Rights Agreements. Generally, these agreements require us to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register common shares that may be issued on conversion of debt or preferred stock, to permit re-sale of common shares previously sold under an exemption from registration or to register common shares that may be issued on exercise of outstanding options or warrants.
 
 
The Agreements usually require the Company to pay penalties for any time delay in filing the required registration statements, or in the registration statements becoming effective, beyond dates specified in the agreement. These penalties are usually expressed as a fixed percentage, per month, of the original amount the Company received on issuance of the debt or preferred stock, common shares, options or warrants. The Company accounts for these penalties as an accrued liability and not as a derivative instrument. Accordingly, we recognize the penalties as they are incurred. Any penalties are expensed over the period to which they relate.
 
 
Use of estimates
 
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the number of equivalent shares which would be issued related to the stock options and warrants using the treasury method, contingently issuance shares, and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method, unless such additional equivalent shares are anti-dilutive.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
 
The Company includes fair value information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.
 
 
CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
 
 
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
 
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”).  SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”  The requirements in SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  During 2007, the adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This Interpretation requires an entity to recognize the impact of a tax position in its financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position.  The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2008, with earlier application encouraged.  Any cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle will be recorded as an adjustment to the opening accumulated deficit balance.  During 2007, the adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Statement does not require any new fair value measurements.  However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is generally to be applied prospectively.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, however, management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” ("SFAS 159"), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.  SFAS 159 also  establishes presentation  and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption allowed.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, however, management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” ("SFAS 141(R)") and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” ("SFAS 160").  SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are products of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board.  The revised standards continue the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting.  SFAS 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods.  These changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and restructuring costs when incurred, the recognition of all assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value during a step-acquisition, and the recognition of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date if it is more likely than not to be incurred.  SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively.  SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively.  Early adoption is prohibited for both standards.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncements, however, management does not believe the adoption of these statements will have a material effect on its financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with presentation for the current year. Such reclassifications have no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

10. INCOME TAXES
 
 
The Company operates in several jurisdictions and may be subject to taxation in those jurisdictions.
 
 
It is management's intention to reinvest all the income attributable to the Company earned by its operations outside of the United States of America. Accordingly, no United States corporate taxes have been provided in these consolidated financial statements. The Company has a U.S. net operating loss carry forward of $3,009,730 which will begin expiring in 2017. However a valuation allowance has been provided as management does not expect the tax benefits to be realized. No other significant deferred assets or liabilities existed at December 31, 2007. The Company's net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
 
Under current law of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), any dividends and capital gains arising from the Company's investments are not subject to income tax in the British Virgin Islands.
 
 
Companies with operations in the Peoples Republic of China may be subject to taxes for income therein. The Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises provides certain
 
 
exemptions from taxation.
 
 
Under current PRC law, all taxes on agriculture have been eliminated. Previously (from July, 2000 through 2005) Aershan enjoyed a tax holiday. Therefore, Aershan's business activities are not and have not been subject to tax. The tax holiday resulted in tax savings of $1,475,452 and $968,866 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. Net income per share increased approximately $0.08 and $0.02 on a basic and diluted basis for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a result of the tax holiday.
 
 
E-Sea is subject to the Enterprise Income Tax at the PRC rate of 15% on net profits. The provisions for taxes on earnings of the PRC subsidiary for the periods ending December 31, 2007and 2006 were $601,845 and $555,792, respectively.

11. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
 
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash deposits, trade receivables, other receivables and the amounts due from related companies. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its cash position and credit evaluations at the subsidiary level to ensure collections and minimize losses.
 
 
(i) Cash deposits. The Company places its significant cash deposits with banks in the PRC.
 
 
(ii) Receivables and amounts due from related companies. The Company does not have a policy of requiring collateral.
 
 
ETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
 
 
12. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK, WARRANTS AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
 
Common stock and warrants were sold to investors in September and October 2003. Both the common stock and the warrants are subject to the Registration Rights Agreement and associated penalties. The warrants have a ratchet exercise price (i.e., the price is adjusted if the Company sells stock or warrants at a lower exercise price). Because this makes the number of shares the Company may have to issue "indeterminate", the warrants do not meet the tests in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 00-19 for classification as equity (in addition to also failing the tests because of the registration rights penalties). Accordingly, they have been accounted for as derivative financial instrument liabilities, initially valued at fair value and then marked-to-market each quarter thereafter. On exercise of any of the warrants, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument as of the date of conversion is credited to equity as part of the proceeds.
 
 
The registration rights penalties through May 24, 2005 were settled by issuance to the investors of convertible notes (see below). Because of the registration rights and associated penalties, the proceeds allocated to the common stock are classified as non-equity up until the time the penalties were settled. Although the common stock itself is not a derivative, this treatment is analogous to redeemable preferred stock that is classified outside equity in the so-called "mezzanine" in accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release ("ASR") 268. The effectiveness of the required registration statement is not within the Company's control.
 
 
Warrants issued in payment of placement agent/finders' fees have registration rights and a ratchet exercise price and accordingly fail the EITF Issue 00-19 tests for classification as equity. Accordingly, they have been accounted for as derivative financial instrument liabilities, initially valued at fair value and then marked-to-market each quarter thereafter. On exercise of any of the warrants, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument as of the date of conversion is credited to equity as part of the proceeds.
 
 
None of the warrants have been exercised. By action of the Board, the exercise price of the warrants was reduced from $1.54, $1.34 and $1.11 to $0.40 on November 5, 2004.
 
 
On May 24, 2005, convertible notes were issued to investors to settle registration rights penalties due through that date. By agreement with the investors, no further penalties are due. The convertible notes do not bear interest, have no stated due date and are payable "without demand". All of the notes have been converted (and the shares received by the investors sold).  The total amount of penalties settled through the issuance of shares was $356,419.
 
 
 
32

 
 
13. ADDITIONAL RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
 
 
The Company's amounts due from/(to) directors and related parties are unsecured, interest-free and are repayable on demand.
 
 
The Company has a payable to Ji Jun Wu, Chairman of the Board, of approximately $50,311 and $50,516 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The balance represents advances made to the Company for various expenses in previous years.
 
 
The Company has a payable to a former employee of approximately $164,984 and $165,659 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The balance represents advances made to the Company for various expenses in previous years. The change in the balance is due to foreign currency translation.

The administrative offices in Tianjin occupy approximately 97.8 square meters (approximately 1,053 square feet) in a commercial building. The Company rents this facility under a three-year lease, running through December 31, 2010, at $8,000 RMB (approximately $1,100 per month). The administrative office in Shenzhen occupies approximately 150 square meters (approximately 1,585 square feet) in a high rise office building. We rented this facility under a two year lease running through November 30, 2009 at $24,324RMB (approximately US$3,300. per month).
 
 
The leased facility of E-Sea in Shenzhen is an 865 square meters (approximately 9,310 square feet) facility containing machinery for the manufacture of medical equipment, administrative offices, and storage space for raw materials. The lease expires on January 14, 2010 and requires monthly payments of $20,001RMB (approximately US$2,700).
 
 
The farm consists of approximately 2.8 million acres and is located in Inner Mongolia, PRC. The Company purchased the land use rights to this farm in April 2000. Land use rights with respect to our farm were purchased from the Chinese government for $6,000,000. Such rights extend through 2026. The Company has the option to renew the land use rights for an additional 25 years at a cost of US$6,000,000. The farm is located in the Wulagai Development Area in Inner Mongolia.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
 
On August 23, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas awarded Western Securities Corporation the sum of $636,757 plus accrued interest since May 22, 2007 and attorney fees in an amount to be determined this judgment became final on October 31, 2007. The Company has several notices with the Court that it intends to appeal this judgment. The judgment will have no impact on earnings, as the potential liability had been previously accrued.
 
 
On the 4th of September 2007, the Company was served with a suit from International Capital Advisors LLC, as assignee of Market Management, Inc. seeking repayment of the sum of $250,000 alleged paid by Market Management, Inc. on behalf of the Company on the 26th of October, the Plaintiff amended their petition, adding several additional causes of action and are now seeking $960,000 plus accrued interest and attorney’s fees. The case is currently in discovery. It has been scheduled for trial in July, 2008.
 
 
The third cause of action involves one of the convertible promissory notes owned by Bristol Investments Limited. This cause of action was filed in State Court in New York and three times was dismissed. On March 30, 2006 without stating a new cause of action, Bristol Investments Limited re-filed the same cause of action against the Company and on December 27, 2007, the Court rendered a decision in favor of Bristol Investments Limited. The parties have since reached a settlement of $64,000.
 
 
Other Contingencies
 
 
The Company is subject to other contingencies not mentioned elsewhere, including various claims for compensation and reimbursement submitted by third parties. The Company's Board of Directors have received these claims and the Company does not believe it has any obligations to compensate or reimburse for any of these claims. There have been no lawsuits against the Company related to these claims. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, however the Company believes based on advice from legal counsel, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

16. LEASE INCOME
 
 
In April 2000, the Company purchased the land use rights for a 2.8 million acre farm in Inner Mongolia, PRC from the Chinese government for USD$6,000,000.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE
 
 
We strive to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designated and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
 
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ham Langston & Brezina, L.L.P. ("HLB") conducted an audit of our financial statements for 2007 and 2006. In connection with the issuance of its report to the Board of Directors, HLB reported two material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding some elements of our system of internal controls. They noted the following specific material deficiencies.(i) We lacked the required expertise needed to properly account for non-routine transactions, (such as the acquisition of other businesses and preparation of its required financial statement disclosure in accordance with U.S. GAAP. and SEC rules and regulations. (ii) Accounting for derivative instruments under FASB 133 to address the weakness, we have hired an independent accounting firm to assist with accounting for derivatives and will seek outside accounting assistance on any further acquisition.
 
Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In furtherance, thereof we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of our board of directors in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accurate, complete and timely. Based on the results of this evaluation, and with the changes outlined above our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered independent public accounting firm regard in internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities & Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (other than assistance from third party firms) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter 2007.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
 
 
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan is 500,000 shares. Shares issuable under the 2004 Plan may be either treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. The number of shares available for issuance will be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the capitalization of the Company.
 
 
Subject to compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the 2004 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or, in the event the Board shall appoint and/or authorize a committee of two or more members of the Board to administer the 2004 Plan, by such committee (the "Plan Administrator"). Except for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the 2004 Plan, and subject to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion, to determine all matters relating to the options to be granted under the 2004 Plan, including, without limitation, selection of whether an option will be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, selection of the individuals to be granted options, the number of shares to be subject to each option, the exercise price per share, the timing of grants and all other terms and conditions of the options.
 
 
Options granted under the 2006 Plan may be "incentive stock options" ("incentive options") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or stock options which are not incentive stock options ("non-incentive options" and, collectively with incentive options, hereinafter referred to as "options"). Each option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, that only whole shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of any option. Subject to any other terms and conditions herein, the Plan Administrator may provide that an option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a stated period or periods of time during which such option is outstanding; provided, that the Plan Administrator may rescind, modify, or waive any such limitation (including by the acceleration of the vesting schedule upon a change in control of the Company) at any time and from time to time after the grant date thereof. During an optionee's lifetime, any incentive options granted under the 2004 Plan are personal to such optionee and are exercisable solely by such optionee.
 
 
The Plan Administrator can determine that additional forms of payment will be permitted. To the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator and applicable laws and regulations(including, without limitation, federal tax and securities laws and regulations and state corporate law), an Option may be exercised by:
 
 
 
39

 
 
(a) delivery of shares of common stock of the Company held by an optionee having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, such fair market value to be determined in good faith by the Plan Administrator; or
 
(b) delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise, together with instructions to the Company to withhold from the shares of common stock that would otherwise be issued upon exercise that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the option exercise price.
 
Upon a merger or consolidation in which securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities are transferred to a person different from the person holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company the sale, or transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an unrelated entity, each, a ("Corporate Transaction"), at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, any award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable shall become fully exercisable, the restrictions, deferral limitations and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other award granted shall lapse and any performance conditions imposed with respect to awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved.
 
Incentive options granted under the 2004 Plan may not be transferred, pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Plan Administrator may permit transfers of awards for estate planning purposes if, and to the extent, such transfers do not cause a participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to lose the benefit of the exemption under Rule 16b-3 for such transactions.
 
Additional rules apply under the Code to the grant of Incentive Options. For instance an incentive option must be exercised within 10 years after the date of grant, unless granted to an individual owning more than 10% of the Company's stock, in which case the exercise period may not exceed five(5) years. Similarly, an Incentive Option must be granted at an exercise price that equals or exceeds 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock at the time of grant, a threshold that is increased to 110% of such fair market value in the case of a grant to an individual owning more than 10% of the Company's stock.
 
For federal income tax purposes, the grant to an optionee of a non-incentive option generally will not constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company. Upon exercise of a non-incentive option (or, in certain cases, a later tax recognition date), the optionee will recognize compensation income taxable as ordinary income, measured by the excess of the fair market value of the common stock purchased on the exercise date (or later tax recognition date) over the amount paid by the optionee for such common stock, and will be subject to federal income tax withholding. Upon recognition of income by the optionee, the Company may claim a deduction for the amount of such compensation. The optionee will have a tax basis in the common stock purchased equal to the amount paid plus the amount of ordinary income recognized upon exercise of the non-incentive option. Upon the subsequent sale of the common stock received upon exercise of the non-incentive option, an optionee will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale and his tax basis in the common stock, which may be long-term capital gain or loss if the optionee holds the common stock for more than one year from the exercise date.
 
 
For federal income tax purposes, in general, neither the grant nor the exercise of an incentive option will constitute a taxable event to the optionee or to the Company, assuming the incentive option qualifies as an "incentive stock option" under Code ss.422. If an optionee does not dispose of the common stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive option during the statutory holding period, any gain or loss upon subsequent sale of the common stock will be long-term capital gain or loss, assuming the shares represent a capital asset in the optionee's hands. The statutory holding period is the later of two years from the date the incentive option is granted or one year from the date the common stock is transferred to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of the incentive option. If the statutory holding period requirements are satisfied, the Company may not claim any federal income tax deduction upon either the exercise of the incentive option or the subsequent sale of the common stock received upon exercise thereof. If the statutory holding period requirement is not satisfied, the optionee will recognize compensation income taxable as ordinary income on the date the common stock is sold (or later tax recognition date) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the common stock on that date less the amount paid by the optionee for such Common Stock, or (ii) the amount realized on the disposition of the common stock less the amount paid by the optionee for such common stock; the Company may then claim a deduction for the amount of such compensation income.
 
 
 
40

 
 
The federal income tax consequences summarized hereinabove are based upon current law and are subject to change.
 
 
The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2004 Plan at any time, except that any such action shall be subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting next following such Board action if such shareholder approval is required by federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any exchange or automated quotation system on which the common stock may then be listed or quoted, or if the Board of Directors otherwise determines to submit
 
 
such action for shareholder approval. In addition, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination to the 2004 Plan may materially impair the rights of any participant with respect to any vested option granted before amendment without such participant's consent. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the 2004 Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 10 years after the date or which the Board approves the 2004 Plan or (ii) the date on which all shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan shall have been issued as vested shares. Upon such 2004 Plan termination, all options and unvested stock issuances outstanding under the 2004 Plan shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.
 
 
On August 26, 2005, the shareholders approved the Company's 2005 Stock Option Plan. This plan is identical to the 2004 Plan except that it provides for the issuance of 2,500,000 shares. The full number of options authorized by this plan have been exercised.
 
 
On October 12, 2006 the shareholders approved the Company's 2006 Stock Option Plan. This Plan is identical to the 2004 and 2005 plan except that it provides for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares. The full number of options authorized by this plan have been issued.
