NOTE 5 – ADVANCES FOR PURCHASES OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

In order to expand the number of medicines the Company manufactured and marketed, it entered into contracts with independent laboratories and others for the purchase of medical formulas and assistance with the NMPA approval process.

 

Under the new regulations and policy environment, the criteria for formulations' development are more stringent. The Company must supplement and improve the corresponding processes and standards to meet the latest requirements of NMPA in accordance with the requirements of consistency evaluation. As a result, the Company anticipates an extended timeline on the approval process of its current pipeline products.

 

If a medical product is not approved by the NMPA, as evidenced by their issuance of a denial letter, or if the laboratory breaches the contract, the laboratory is required under the contract to provide a refund to the Company of the full amount of the payments made to the laboratory for that formula, or the Company can require the application of those payments to another medical formula with the same laboratory. As a result of the refund right, the Company is ultimately purchasing an approved medical product. Accordingly, payments made prior to the issuance of production approval by the NMPA are recorded as advances for purchases of intangible assets.

 

To date, no formula has failed to receive NMPA production approval nor has the Company been informed or been made aware of any formula that may fail to receive such approval. However, there is no assurance that the medical products will receive production approval, and if the Company does not receive such approval, it will enforce its contractual rights to receive a refund from the laboratory or have the payments applied to another medical formula with the same laboratory.

 

The management determined to impair all remaining advances at December 31, 2019, but may resume the development of these formulas in the future if sufficient funding and other favorable conditions arise.
