PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

History

Our company, Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “HFGB,” the “Company” or “our Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and trades on the Over the Counter ("OTC") Bulletin Board under the symbol “HFGB.”

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on March 16, 2000 under the name “Enternet, Inc.” On May 23, 2002, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to “Secured Data, Inc.” On October 12, 2005, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to “Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology, Inc.”

Since October 2002, management's business plan was to seek out a privately held business with whom the Company can reorganize so as to take advantage of the Company's status as a publicly held corporation.

On December 20, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Malone Agreement”), Art Malone, Jr. sold 7,229,601 shares of the common stock of Secured Data, Inc. for $300,000.00 (the “Sale”) to Zhi Lan Wang and Jun Lin, individuals. As a result, the 7,229,601 shares of the common stock of the Company sold represented approximately 56.18% of the total outstanding stock of the Company. Immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 20, 2004 (“Northwest Agreement”), the Company initially purchased 30% of the common shares of Northwest BioTechnic Inc. (“NBTI”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, in exchange for 80,735,590 shares of the Company's common stock (“Acquisition”). The purchase price for the remaining 70% of NBTI's common shares was $1,900,000.00 payable by the Company's issuance of a promissory note (“Promissory Note”) on December 20, 2004. The Promissory Note was subsequently converted into 10,465,725 (post a one for eighteen reverse split) shares of the Company's common stock. As a result, the 80,735,590 shares of the common stock of the Company sold represented approximately 86.3% of the total outstanding stock of the Company.

NBTI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on June 25, 2004. NBTI operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Huifeng Biochemistry Joint Stock Company, which is a joint venture company established under the laws of the PRC and is a company engaging in the production and sales of plant extracts, biochemical products and pharmaceutical raw products in the PRC. On February 22, 2006, Huifeng Biochemistry Joint Stock Company changed its name to Xi’an Huifeng Bio-Technic, Inc. (“Huifeng”).

Business Overview

HFGB, through its wholly owned subsidiary NBTI, owns 100% of Huifeng which produces and sells plant extracts, biochemical products and pharmaceutical raw products in the PRC. Huifeng was founded on January 18, 2000. With its proprietary technology of “Producing Rutin by Eliminating Enzyme and Mucus” together with abundant resources of high quality pagoda rice in the Northwest region of China as raw material, Huifeng developed and specialized itself as one of the major technology based Rutin company in Xian city within two years after establishment. Huifeng possesses one of the most advanced and patented Rutin-refining technologies in China and is a major Rutin supplier for the world market. Huifeng emphasized technology and product innovation and its strategic mission is to commercialize Chinese traditional medicine.

Plant Extracts
 
§
Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Epimedium Extract, Bilberry Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Bitter Melon Extract, Mellisa Officinallis Extract, etc.

During 2006, we finished two new products lines, Diosmin and L-Rhamnose. Since January 2008, the Company began the process of applying the Certificate of Suitability (COS) certificate for Diosmin from the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM). The Company introduced new facilities and equipments for this certificate and fulfilled process managing procedures and files according to the COS requirements. We introduced a Hesperidin production line in 2008 which keeps the stable quality and sufficiency of raw material for Diosmin.

The chemical name of Diosmin is 7-[[6-o(6-Deoxy-2-L-mannopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyran-osyl]oxy]-5-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-l-ben-zopyran-4-one). Diosmin is a pharmaceutical material, which has comprehensive impact on blood vessel feedback system and is suitable for treatment of acute or chronic hemorrhoids and chronic insufficiency of vein (lower limbs varicosity, dropsy and chronic canker).

The chemical name of L-Rhamnose is (thymidine-5'-diphosphate-L-rhamnose). Belonging to the category of monosackcharide, it is generally applied in manufacturing antivirus and anti-tumor raw medicines. In addition, this product can be an ingredient for food. It has been used for testing permeation of intestines and sweet additives. At present, L-Rhamnose is mostly applied in synthetic perfume of fruit spice. It is the basic material for fruit spice composition. L-Rhamnose has been widely applied in the industrial production and scientific research, such as intermediate synthetic perfumes and heart-strength medicines made from organic matters. Furthermore, as an ingredient for food, L-Rhamnose can be directly added into top-grade coffee, beverage or meat.

The chemical name of Rutin is rue glycoside (Molecular formula: C27H30O163H2O) and it is a kind of plant extract. It can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis. It can also improve the permeability of capillary vessels, and has the properties of:

1.           Anti- inflammatory;
 
2

 
2.           Decreasing blood pressure and fat; and

3.           Mitigating cerebral hemorrhage.

Additionally, it has positive effect in protecting heart and cerebral hemorrhage and ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is widely used as a raw material for the heart and cerebral blood vessel medicines as well as an additive for cosmetics and functional food. The demand for Rutin increases at an annual rate of approximately 30% due to the increased demand for heart and cerebral blood vessel medicines as a result of the aging population. Furthermore, the improvement in living standards in China also stimulates the growth in the demand for functional food and natural cosmetics. Troxerutin, Quercetin, Rhamnose is three kinds derivatives of Rutin.

Production Facilities

On June 28, 2009, Huifeng Bio-Technic disposed its 70% owned interest in Huifeng Engineering, located in Fenghui, Changan, Xian, for a consideration of $21,919 in cash. At present, we have one major production facility that included the following equipment resources:

Manufacturing plant located at No. 1, Huifeng Rd, Changwu, Xianyang:

 
·
This production site is for refining and manufacturing of new products.
 
·
Has a total of 10 buildings including:
 
-
A two-level office building
 
-
A four-level staff building
 
-
An one-level building for clean area under GMP standard
 
-
One raw materials storage building
 
-
Two building for storage of finished products
 
-
One building for dangerous products
 
-
Building for quality testing zone and researching center
 
-
Building for power and maintenance (including boiler, power distribution and maintenance)
 
-
One cafeteria and staff canteen

The production facilities together occupy a total area of approximately 117,569 square feet. The Company has pledged part of its production facilities in Changwu factory valued at approximately $978,851 to Xi'an Beilin District Credit Cooperatives to secure loan in the amount of $253,028 due June 2010.

In 2006, we introduced two new production lines: Diosmin production line for Diosmin, L-Rhamnose production line. In 2008, we introduced a Hesperidin production line. We constructed a new one-level building for storage of finished products and rebuilt a building for quality testing zone and research center in 2009. All of them were built according to COS standards.

We currently obtain all of our raw materials from third parties and through various farmers located in the Shaanxi province, Gansu province and Shanxi province areas of China. Our principal suppliers include Cungui Zhang, Xiaohe Wang and Yingwei Xu. All of them are the largest wholesalers in their own areas.

Target Markets and Principal Customers

In 2009, we developed three new customers. Two of them are European customers and the other one is an international API distributor based in China. These customers primarily purchase Diosmin from us due to the high quality of our products, as reflected from the fact that we are the only Chinese producer that in the process of applying COS from EDQM.

For the present, our products are all raw materials intermediaries for medicines productions and the users of these products are industrial clients. As a result, Huifeng's main target customers are pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers in nutrient, cosmetics, functional food and drinks.

Dependence on Major Customers

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our top five customers accounted for approximately 17% of our revenues. We are working towards developing a broad base of customers to minimize our dependency on any major customers.

Sales and Marketing

In 2009, the majority of products were raw materials and intermediaries for production of medicines, nutraceutical and cosmetics. Our target customers were mostly industrial clients and we continued to sell our products to pharmaceutical and nutrition and food manufacturers. Most of our customers placed purchase orders directly with our sales and marketing team. However, in order to diversify and expand our product sales networks, we began using outside distribution channels for some of our export sales in 2009. We accepted purchase orders from professional foreign trade corporations in order to expand our international distribution channels and increase sale revenues from exports.

The sales department was divided into two teams, domestic sales team and export sales team. In 2009, the Company did not add new employee in export sales department. The total number of employees in sales departments is still 24 people. All the sales department staffs were trained with certain professional lessons. Most of them attended the industrial international exhibition and fairs which are held in U.S, European, Shanghai and Beijing, such as CPHI Shows, API, Supplyside West, etc.

We did not establish any regional representative or sales office in 2009 because our products were primarily sold through direct orders from our clients who placed orders with our sales department. There was no need for any retail distribution of our product.

Competition

Huifeng engages in Rutin production in China. With its proprietary technology of “Producing Rutin by Eliminating Enzyme and Mucus” and with abundant resources of high quality pagoda rice in the Northwest region of China as raw material, Huifeng does not face significant competitions within China.

In 2009, our major competitor for Rutin continues to be Sichuan Xieli Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Xieli”). However, we believe that due to the lack of technology patents and ready access to raw materials, Xieli is gradually fading out of the Rutin refining business and is shifting its business from raw medicine production to finished medicine production.

We also believe that, in 2009, there were fewer small domestic Rutin manufacturers. We do not believe that the remaining small manufacturers pose any threat to our business. On the contrary, they sometimes become our suppliers and support our operations.

In 2009, our competitor for Diosmin and L-Rhamnose is Chengdu Huakang Biology Company (“Huakang”). However, Huakang has no licenses for drug production and cannot sell its products for medicinal use.  The scope of its market is therefore restricted. In addition, unlike us, they did not have the requisite European Certification of Suitability (“COS”). Thus they do not pose any threat to us in terms of market share and sales, particularly in the export market.

Looking forward to 2010, we estimate that there would be some new domestic competitors for certain new products that we have started selling, including Resveratrol. However, we do not believe that these competitors have mature technologies for producing Resveratrol at costs lower than ours. Therefore we do not believe that they pose an immediate threat to our business.

Principal Office

Our principal office is located at 16B/F Ruixin Bldg., No. 25 Gaoxin Road, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China 710075.

Employees and Organization

As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately 224 full-time employees. During 2009, we employed 3 new employees. 2 new employees were assigned to the certification department; 1 new employee was assigned to the production department. As a result, by the end of 2009, we had a total of 224 employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a work stoppage, and we consider our labor relations to be good.

As of December 31, 2009, our Company organization was as follow:

Business Development and Acquisitions

In 2009, we still focused on new products development and sales channels development. Looking forward to 2010, we will focus on:

1.           Still preparing for obtaining American FDA authorization and EU COS authorization so as to increase our market share in pharmaceutical raw materials and plant extract products in both international and domestic markets;

2.           Streamlining our organization to ensure smooth operations and productions;

3.           Dominate Chinese Diosmin market and expand international client base; and

4.           Leverage R&D and technological innovation for further product development.

On September 25, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary Huifeng Bio-Technic entered into a series of exclusive contractual agreements with Xi’an Qinba Xintong Medical Limited (“Qinba”), a company organized under the laws of the PRC, and their respective registered shareholders, pursuant to which Huifeng Bio-Technic will provide exclusive management consulting and other general business operation services to Qinba in exchange for service fees amounting to 70% of the total profit of Qinba. Each of the registered PRC shareholders of Qinba also entered into shares pledge agreements and option agreements; each shareholder pledged their respective interests in Qinba for the due performance of such Qinba’s obligations under its respective management entrustment agreement. Huifeng Bio-Technic has been assigned all voting rights by the shareholders of Qinba and has the option to acquire the equity interests of Qinba at a mutually agreed purchase price. As part of this arrangement, Huifeng Bio-Technic has agreed to provide an interest free loan totaling $291,792 to Qinba for working capital purposes as follows: i) $72,948 upon signing of the agreements, ii) $72,948 will be advanced to Qinba after the completion of certain financial due diligence on Qinba, and iii) $145,896 will be advanced to Qinba within three days after the completion of the audit as of December 31, 2008.

Through the above contractual arrangements, Huifeng Bio-Technic would have become the primary beneficiary of Qinba which is a variable interest entity as defined under FIN 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”

In October 2008, Huifeng Bio-Technic advanced Qinba $58,358 as part of the $291,792 loan advancement required to be made for working capital purposes.

Huifeng Bio-Technic was unable to make further loan advances and defaulted on its contractual arrangements with Qinba. Subsequent to the default, Huifeng Bio-Technic in December 2008 entered into discussions with Qinba to terminate its contractual relationship. The parties have verbally agreed to this termination on the basis that Huifeng Bio-Technic shares no profits of Qinba and that Qinba will forfeit $37,933 from the $58,358 interest free loan already advanced by Huifeng Bio-Technic. In January 2009, Qinba refunded $20,425 balance of loan to Huifeng Bio-Technic after the deduction of $37,933 as penalty.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company wrote-off $37,933 from its loan to Qinba as irrecoverable.

Research and Development

In 2009, we continued on research and development of new products and new technologies. We kept the structure of our research and development team.

The amounts we spent on research and development for 2009 and 2008 were $43,629 and $23,726, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the cost of research materials, related external testing and employees’ wages.

Patents and Intellectual Properties

Huifeng's proprietary technology “Producing Rutin by Eliminating Enzyme and Mucus” received Chinese national technology patent with a ten-year protection period.
 
5

 
Government Regulations

The Chinese government requires all medicine and medicinal products related manufacturers to obtain GMP certification for their pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Huifeng obtained GMP certification from relevant government regulatory bodies. Other than GMP certification requirements, there was no significant change in the regulatory environment in China.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

We believe that we are in compliance with environmental laws in the PRC which are applicable to us. The costs of such compliance do not have a material effect on our financial condition.

Regulation of Enterprise Income Law

The Enterprise Income Law (“EIT Law’) was promulgated by the National People’s Congress on March 16, 2007 to introduce a new uniform taxation regime in the PRC. Both resident and non-resident enterprises deriving income from the PRC will be subject to this EIT Law from January 1, 2008. It replaced the previous two different tax rates applied to foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises by only one single income tax rate applied for all enterprises in the PRC. Under this EIT Law, except for some hi-tech enterprises which are subject to EIT rates of 15% and other very limited situation that allows EIT rates at 20%, the general applicable EIT rate in the PRC is 25%. Although we still enjoy certain tax incentives applicable to foreign-invested enterprises prior to the introduction of the EIT Law, the current lower EIT rate will be phased up to 25% within a five-year period. Moreover, we may not enjoy further tax incentives for our further established companies in the PRC and therefore our tax advantages over domestic enterprises may be diminished.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related To Our Business

To Maximize Our Potential For Future Growth And Achieve Our Expected Revenues, We Need To Manage Growth In Our Current Operations.

In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our manufacturing and marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and on our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that as we continue to grow we will need to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems to handle increased operations. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.

We Cannot Guarantee That Our Organic Growth Strategy Will Be Successful.

One of our growth strategies is to grow organically by increasing the distribution and sales of our products in new markets outside of China. However, many obstacles to entering new markets exist, such as the costs associated with entering into new markets, developing and implementing effective marketing efforts abroad and maintaining attractive foreign exchange ratios. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our products in any additional markets. Our inability to successfully implement our organic growth strategy may have a negative impact on our growth strategy and on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We Cannot Assure You That Our Acquisition Growth Strategy Will Be Successful.

In addition to our organic growth strategy we also expect to grow through strategic acquisitions In the case of funds permit.

If We Are Not Able To Implement Our Strategies To Achieve Our Business Objectives, Our Business Operations And Financial Performance May Be Adversely Affected.

Our business plan and growth strategy is based on currently prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our strategies or that our strategies, even if implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of our objectives. If we are not able to successfully implement our strategies, our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.
 
6

 
If We Need Additional Capital To Fund Our Growing Operations, We May Not Be Able To Obtain Sufficient Capital And May Be Forced To Limit The Scope Of Our Operations.

As we implement our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and we may not have enough capital to fund future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (1) our profitability; (2) the release of competitive products by our competition; (3) the level of our investment in research and development; and (4) the amount of our capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to:

·           reduce our investments in research and development;
·           limit our marketing efforts; and
·           decrease or eliminate capital expenditures.

Such reductions could have a material adverse affect our business and our ability to compete. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

We Depend On Third Parties To Supply Raw Materials, And Any Adverse Changes In Such Supply Or The Costs Of Raw Materials May Adversely Affect Our Operations.

We currently obtain all of our raw materials from third parties and through various farms. Due to the nature of the raw materials, mainly plants, the supply of these raw materials can be adversely affected by any material change in the climate or environmental conditions in China, which may, in turn, result in increased costs to purchase these raw materials.

Intense Competition From Existing And New Entities May Adversely Affect Our Revenues And Profitability.

We compete with other companies, many of whom are developing, or can be expected to develop, products similar to ours. Some of our competitors are more established than we are, and have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we presently possess. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and a larger customer base. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. We intend to create greater brand awareness for our brand name so that we can successfully compete with our competitors. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business.

We Depend On Our Key Management Personnel And The Loss Of Their Services Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, Jingan Wang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Sanding Tao, our acting Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. We do not maintain key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.

We May Incur Significant Costs To Ensure Compliance With U.S. Corporate Governance And Accounting Requirements.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ OTCBB. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

We May Have Difficulty Raising Necessary Capital To Fund Operations As A Result Of Market Price Volatility Of Our Shares Of Common Stock.

If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing and new technologies and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of our technologies may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain equity financing through debt and equity or other means. In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.

For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control. Such volatility may make it more difficult to find investors willing to invest in our common stock, or to negotiate equity financing or terms that are acceptable to us.

Risks Relating To the People's Republic of China

There Could Be Changes In Government Regulations Towards The Pharmaceutical And Health Supplement Industries That May Adversely Affect Our Business.

The manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products in the PRC is heavily regulated by many state, provincial and local authorities. These regulations significantly increase the difficulty and costs involved in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for marketing new and existing products. Our future growth and profitability depend to a large extent on our ability to obtain regulatory approvals. The State Food and Drug Administration of China recently implemented new guidelines for licensing of pharmaceutical products. All existing manufacturers with licenses, which are currently valid under the previous guidelines, are required to apply for the Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") certifications, and we receive approvals in January 2005. We have received our certifications. However, should we fail to maintain the GMP certifications under the new guidelines in the future; our businesses would be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, the laws and regulations regarding acquisitions of the pharmaceutical industry in the PRC may also change and may significantly impact our ability to grow through acquisitions.

Currency Conversion And Exchange Rate Volatility Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.

The PRC government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People's Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the People's Bank of China exchange rate, based on the previous day's dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the People's Bank of China exchange rate according to market conditions. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors, is permissible. Foreign Investment Enterprises are permitted to convert their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current account items.

Enterprises in the PRC (including Foreign Investment Enterprises) which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by providing valid receipts and proofs.

Most Of Our Assets Are Located In China, Any Dividends Of Proceeds From Liquidation Is Subject To The Approval Of The Relevant Chinese Government Agencies.

Our assets are predominantly located inside China. Under the laws governing foreign invested enterprises in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to both the relevant government agency's approval and supervision as well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment and liquidation.

China’s economic policies could affect our business.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.

While China's economy has experienced a significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been irregular, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.

The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in The People's Republic of China.

Foreign companies conducting operations in The People’s Republic of China face some political, economic and legal risks.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in The People's Republic of China.

The People's Republic of China historically has been deficient in Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in The People's Republic of China. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

Because our assets and operations are located in China, you may have difficulty enforcing any civil liabilities against us under the securities and other laws of the United States or any state.

We are a holding company, and all of our assets are located in the People's Republic of China. In addition, our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these non-residents, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

There is uncertainty as to whether courts of the People's Republic of China would enforce:

·           Judgments of United States courts obtained against us or these non-residents based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or

·           In original actions brought in the People's Republic of China, liabilities against us or non-residents predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. Enforcement of a foreign judgment in the People's Republic of China also may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and will be subject to a statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit law enforcement availability.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, decided legal cases have little precedence. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 27 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Each of our PRC operating subsidiaries and affiliates is subject to PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations change frequently and the interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For instance, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we are entitled to by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting statutory and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative court proceedings and the level of law enforcement that we would receive in more developed legal systems. Such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the industries in which we operate, including the promulgation of new laws. This may include changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the availability of law enforcement, including our ability to enforce our agreements with the government entities and other foreign investors.

Risks Related to Corporate and Stock Matters

The limited trading volume in our stock may cause volatility in the market price of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTCBB under the symbol, "HFGB.OB" The quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years, such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus subject to volatility. In the absence of an active trading market:

·           investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;
·           market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and
·           lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market for our common stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.

Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii)reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our Common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of our restricted stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading -volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a two-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

If we or our independent registered public accountants cannot attest our adequacy in the internal control measures over our financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act in future, we may be adversely affected.

As a public company, we are subject to report our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting in our annual reports on Form 10-K, as a requirement of Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The report must contain an assessment by management about the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Moreover, the independent registered public accountants of our Company must attest to and report on management's assessment of the same. Even if our management attests to our internal control measures to be effective, our independent registered public accountants may not be satisfied with our internal control structure and procedures. We cannot guarantee the outcome of the report and it could result in an adverse impact on us in the financial marketplace due to the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could negative influence to our stock market price.

History

On December 20, 2004, pursuant to the Malone Agreement, Art Malone, Jr. ("Selling Shareholder") sold 7,229,601 shares of the common stock of the Company for $300,000 (the "Sale") to Zhi Lan Wang and Jun Lin, individuals on the closing date of December 20, 2004. As a result, the 7,229,601 shares of the common stock of the Company sold represented approximately 56.18% of the total outstanding stock of the Company. Immediately thereafter, On December 20, 2004 HFGB completed a Northwest Agreement, of which the Company initially purchased 30% of the common shares of NBTI in exchange for 80,735,590 shares of the Company's common stock ("Acquisition"). The purchase price for the remaining 70% of NBTI's common shares was $1,900,000 payable by the Company's issuance of a promissory note ("Promissory Note") on December 20, 2004 The Promissory Note may be convertible into 10,465,725 (post a one for eighteen reverse split) shares of the Company's common stock. As a result, the 80,735,590 shares of the common stock of the Company sold represented approximately 86.3% of the total outstanding stock of the Company. The Exchange resulted in a change of voting control of the Company.

NBTI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on June 25, 2004. NBTI operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Huifeng Biochemistry Joint Stock Company, which is a joint venture company established under the laws of China and is engaged in the production and sales of plant extracts, biochemical products and pharmaceutical raw products in the PRC. On February 22, 2006, Huifeng Biochemistry Joint Stock Company changed its name to Xi’an Huifeng Bio-Technic, Inc. ("Huifeng").

The exchange was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. As such, the financial information reflected activity subsequent to the acquisition for HFGB and its subsidiaries and financial activity of NBTI prior to the acquisition. We will continue the business operations conducted by NBTI.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified one policy area as critical to the understanding of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. With respect to net realizable value of the Company's accounts receivable and inventories, significant estimation judgments are made and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The Company does not have any reserves against its accounts receivable or inventories at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Management's estimation that there are no reserves is based on the current facts that there is no significant aged accounts receivable and the current inventory turnover is sufficient to realize the current carrying value of the inventories. In making their judgment, management has assumed that there will be continued demand for their products in the future, thereby maintaining adequate turnover of the inventories. Additionally, management has assumed that customers will continue to pay their outstanding invoices in a timely manner, and that their customers' financial position will not deteriorate significantly in the future, which would result in their inability to pay their debts to the Company. While the Company's management currently believes that there is little likelihood that the actual results of their current estimates will differ materially from its current estimates, if customer demand for its products decreases significantly in the near future, or if the financial position of its customers deteriorates in the near future, the Company could realize significant write downs for slow moving inventories or uncollectible accounts receivable.

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for us to recognize revenue:

1.           Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2.           Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
3.           The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and
4.           Collectibility is reasonably assured.

The majority of the Company's revenue results from sales contracts with distributors and revenue is generated upon the shipment of goods. The Company's pricing structure is fixed and there are no rebate or discount programs. Management conducts credit background checks for new customers as a means to reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability. Based on these factors, the Company believes that it can apply the provisions of SAB 104 with minimal subjectivity.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2008

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $13,764,886, an increase of $2,807,657 or approximately 25.6% from $10,957,229 in 2008. Our increase in sales revenues in 2009 mainly attributed to the increase in sales of pharmaceutical raw materials. In particular, the sales volume of our Diosmin, Rutin and Troxerutin products increased rapidly, as a result of the high quality of our products. An analysis of our increase in sales of our products is as follows:

TOTAL
  $ 13,764,886     $ 10,957,229     $ 2,807,657  

The increase in the sales of pharmaceutical raw materials in 2009 was mainly due to an increase in the sales of Diosmin, Rutin and Troxerutin, three of our major products in this category. Revenue for Diosmin in 2009 was $3,397,698, an increase of $1,142,372 or 51% from the $2,255,326 of 2008. Our significant revenue growth in Diosmin in international market, especially in Europe, was driven by our higher quality levels compared with the competitors. In China, we are the only Disomin producer that is in the process of applying Certificate of Suitability (COS).

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled to $602,139 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $554,702 or 48% from $1,156,841 for the same period in 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to changes in the following expenses:

1. Decrease in exchanges losses from foreign currency fluctuations by $206,263 or 49%
:
The increase of value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar in 2009 was less than the increase in 2008.
     
2. Decrease in legal and professional expenses by $214,678 or 51%
:
The legal advisory services cost significantly less in 2009. The higher cost in 2008 was driven by the legal and consulting expenses related to fund raising.
     
3. Decrease in allowance for doubtful accounts by $127,393 or 104%
:
The decrease in allowance for doubtful accounts was driven by improvement on collection of account receivables compared with 2008.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses amounted to $222,474 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $13,343 or 6% from $209,131 for the same period in 2008. The increase in our selling and distribution expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 was mainly due to the following:

Increase in transportation costs of $37,297 or 38%
:
In 2009, our overseas sales represented 64% of the total revenue, an increase by 10%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

Our cash balance amounted to $556,763 at December 31, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, our cash provided by operating activities amounted to $565,623, primarily due to the net profit in the current year of $2,976,892, offset by the increases in accounts receivable of $2,685,021. In the current year, our changes in accounts receivable increased by $1,511,947 or 129% to $2,685,021 compared to $1,173,074 for the same period in 2008, our increase in accounts receivable was due to 26% increase in our net sales compared to the same period in 2008 and increase in proportion of our credit sales. Additionally, our increase in inventories was $903,917, which was $971,151 or 52% less than the increase in 2008 of $1,875,068 as part of our strategy to enhance our production operation. Sufficient inventories storage allows us to reduce seasonal fluctuation in raw material availability and cost, and ensures that we have sufficient supply of raw materials to meet the increase in demand for our products in 2009 and in future.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $610,713, a decrease of $2,036,756 or 77% as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2,647,469 in 2008. The net cash used in investing activities was mainly due to the construction of our new finished goods warehouse and costs incurred to achieve the requirement of Certificate of Suitability. The net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $555,484, representing proceeds from notes payable for new bank loans granted from a bank in May and September 2009.

The Company is currently funding its operations from and in addition to sales revenues.

Working Capital

Our working capital amounted to $10,011,833 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $5,330,239 or 114%, compared with the $4,681,594 of 2008, primarily driven by the $2,698,453 increases in accounts receivables and $916,190 increases in inventories.

Accounts Receivable balance at December 31, 2009 was $5,576,321, an increase of $2,698,453 or 94% from the $2,877,868 of December 31, 2008; and an increase of $1,758,085 or 46% from the $3,818,236 of September 30, 2009. This was due to the significant increase in quarter four 2009 revenue, primarily export sales with three months credit terms, compared with the same quarter last year. The quarter four 2009 revenue was $4,881,696, an increase of US$2,810,532 or 136% compared with the $2,071,164 for the same period last year.

Inventory balance at December 31, 2009 was $5,656,420, an increase of $916,190 from the $4,740,230 of December 31, 2008, primarily driven by raw materials which increased $714,406 during this period. The Company’s products are consisted of pharmaceutical raw materials and intermediates, which are extracted from the plants. The plants are purchased once a year after the harvesting season, i.e. from August to November, resulting higher inventory levels after around November due to purchase made once a year and lower inventory levels before around August due to production consumption. The Year over Year increase in inventory levels at 2009 year end was driven by the inventory built up to satisfy export sales orders, especially for French contract with Safic-Alcan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Condification), “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall” (ASC Topic 105-10). The Codification established one source for all U.S. GAAP. The Codification supersedes, but does not change, all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Throughout this report, references provided to applicable portions of the Codification also include reference to the original FASB standard (SFAS), staff position (FSP) or consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF).

In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”) (ASC Topic 715-20-65). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) requires more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) also requires, for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), disclosure of the effect of the measurements on changes in plan assets for the period. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) must be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, the Company does not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-6 Improving Disclosures about Fair Measurements ("ASU 2010-6"). ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that require separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the presentation of separate information regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-6 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-2 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary- a Scope Clarification ("ASU 2010-2"). ASU 2010-2 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU 2010-2 is effective for the Company starting January 3, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-2 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-17 Consolidations (Topic 810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in ASU 2009-17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-17 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-16 Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets ("ASU 2009-16"). ASU 2009-16 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The amendments in ASU 2009-16 improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In October, 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing”( amendments to ASC Topic 470, Debt)” (“ASU 2009-15”), and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance.  At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.  Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs.  The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement.  The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, “Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to ASC Topic 985, Software)” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 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 early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 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 early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent) which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall. The amended guidance offers investors a practical expedient for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (NAV). The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities (formerly proposed as FASB Staff Position No. 48-d, Application Guidance for Pass-Through Entities and Tax-Exempt Not-for-Profit Entities and Disclosure Modifications for Nonpublic Entities), which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes – Overall. ASU 2009-06 clarifies that an entity’s assertion that it is a pass-through entity is a tax position and should be assessed in accordance with Subtopic 740-10. Additionally, the ASU provides implementation guidance on the attribution of income taxes to entities and owners. The revised guidance is effective for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

 In August 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-5 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value ("ASU 2009-5"). ASU 2009-5 provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-5 clarifies that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value. ASU 2009-5 was effective for the Company for interim and annual periods ending after October 3, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 In August 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-4 Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments—an Amendment to Section 480-10-S99 ("ASU 2009-4"). ASU 2009-4 represents a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") update to Section 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The adoption of guidance within ASU 2009-4 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (subsequently codified into FASB ASC Topic 105) which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles for U.S. GAAP issued by the FASB. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and subsequent to adoption, the FASB will issue new standards in the form of ASUs, and no longer as SFASs, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. The Codification is effective for reporting periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance on subsequent events (originally issued as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, and subsequently codified into FASB ASC Topic 855). Topic 855 addresses the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Topic 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly (originally issued as FASB Staff Position SFAS 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, and subsequently codified within FASB ASC Topic 820). The guidance provides additional guidance to expand on the factors that should be considered in estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

 In April 2009, FASB issued Staff Position ("FSP") No. 115-2 and FSP 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (now codified within ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities ("ASC 320")). ASC 320 provides greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and more effectively communicates when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. ASC 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. The impairment model for equity securities was not affected. Under ASC 320, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized through earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. This standard was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 320 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (now codified within ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825")). ASC 825 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. ASC 825 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Inflation

Inflation has had some impacts on our business. It increased the purchase cost of our raw materials resulting in an increase in our production cost.

Currency Exchange Fluctuations

All of Company's revenues and majority of the expenses in 2009 were denominated primarily in Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of China, and was converted into US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. As a result of the appreciation of RMB during 2009 we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $31,347. There could be no assurance that RMB-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates will remain stable. The appreciation of RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not engage in currency hedging.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries including the notes thereto, together with reports thereon of Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited and Jimmy C.H. Cheung & Co. are presented beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

On February 17, 2010, the Company was notified of the resignation, effective immediately, of the US Audit Practice of Jimmy C.H. Cheung & Co. (“JCHC”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with JCHC’s merger on January 29, 2010, with Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited (“BTHK”). On February 19, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of BTHK as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit reports of JCHC on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and JCHC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of JCHC, would have caused JCHC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) on reportable vents within the meaning set forth in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the Company’s most two recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through January 29, 2010, the Company did not consult with BTHK on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and BTHK did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in ITEM 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, being December 31, 2009, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation ("Evaluation") was performed by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer in consultation with our accounting personnel.

Based upon the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of HFGB is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, HFGB's internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. The framework on which such evaluation was based is contained in the report entitled "Internal Control — Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO Report"). Based on that evaluation and the criteria set forth in the COSO Report, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. This limitation of liability is subject to exceptions including intentional misconduct, obtaining an improper personal benefit and abdication or reckless disregard of director duties. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we may indemnify its directors, officer, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the bylaws would permit indemnification. We currently do not have such an insurance policy.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling 1934 persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
Family Relationships

There is no family relationship among any of our officers or directors.

Board Composition and Committees

Our Board of Directors currently does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees as of the date hereof and the entire board is performing the functions normally associated with an audit, nominating and compensation committee. However, we anticipate the Company will in the future seek to form audit and other board committees in a manner consistent with NYSE Amex listed companies in the future.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct authorizing the establishment of a committee to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures remain effective. Our Code also defines the standard of conduct expected by our officers, directors and employees.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of the reports furnished to the Company, none of the required parties are delinquent in their Section 16(a) filings, except for the following directors and executive officers who have not filed a Form 3: Xiaoli Sun, Angela Aichun Li and John Zhang.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of:
Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HUIFENG BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 
(A)
Organization

Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (collectively “Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical”) or the “Company”) are principally engaged in the manufacture of plant extracts and bio-chemical products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), for sale in the PRC market, Japan and some European countries.

Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical was incorporated in Nevada on March 16, 2000 under the name Enternet, Inc. with headquarters in Xi’an City, PRC.

Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 are described in Note 2 – Subsidiaries.

(B)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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.

(C)
Principles of consolidation

The accompanying 2009 consolidated financial statements include the financial statements include the financial statements of Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical and its 100% owned subsidiary Northwest, 100% owned subsidiary Huifeng Bio-Technic and 80.2% owned subsidiary Huifeng Pharmaceutical.

The accompanying 2008 consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical and its 100% owned subsidiary Northwest, 100% owned subsidiary Huifeng Bio-Technic, 70% owned subsidiary Huifeng Engineering and 80.2% owned subsidiary Huifeng Pharmaceutical.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(D)
Cash and cash equivalents

For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of three months or less.

(E)
Accounts receivable

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements’ assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded recovery of and allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,829 and $84,631 respectively.

(F)
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a weighted average method.  The Company provides for inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.

(G)
Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditure for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
F-7

 

Factory buildings
20 Years
Plant and machinery
10 Years
Motor vehicles
10 Years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 Years

Land use rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. The land use rights are amortized over the term of the relevant rights of 50 years from the date of acquisition.

(H)
Long-lived assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (formerly the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”) (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”).  In accordance with ASC Topic 350, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value.

(I)
Fair value of financial instruments

In January 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) (formerly SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and payables qualified as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follow:

Ÿ
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Ÿ
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Ÿ
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company accounts for non-hedging contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, its own common stock in accordance with the ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) and SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”)). These non-hedging contracts accounted for in accordance with this ASC include freestanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock that have been bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with the requirements. Under certain circumstances that could require the Company to settle these equity items in cash or stock, and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting period, with such adjustments reflected in the line item of change in valuation of derivative as other income (expenses) in the statements of operations.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) (formerly SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” and ASC 815.

On December 31, 2007, the Company issued 10% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) in a face amount of $2,000,000 which are due and payable in full in 2 years from their issuance. On December 24, 2009 the Company extended the maturity date of $1,800,000 of the remaining Notes which were due and payable on December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2011.  As fixed prices are set for the conversion prices of such Notes and the attached warrants, the Company is in a position to be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of the Notes and warrants. Therefore, no embedded derivatives and warrants are required to be recorded at fair value and marked-to-market at each reporting period.

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820.

 
F-8

 

(J)
Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, a revision to SFAS No. 123. “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and superseding APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance (now ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”) (“ASC 718”). The Company adopted ASC 718, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards in exchange for consultancy services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and unvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. ASC 718 requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized in expense over the vesting period.

Common stock, a stock option and warrants issued to other than employees or directors in exchange for services are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by ASC 718, which is measured as of the date required by ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”) (formerly EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Institutes That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Service”). In accordance with ASC 505-50, the non-employee stock options or warrants are measured at their fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”). Accounting for non-employee stock options or warrants which involve only performance conditions when no performance commitment date or performance completion date has occurred as of reporting date requires measurement of the equity instruments then-current fair value. Any subsequent changes in the market value of the underlying common stock are reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

(K)
Discount on notes payable

A discount with respect to the Notes issued in 2007 and extended the maturity date until June 30, 2011 on December 24, 2009 was recorded by the Company. The amount of the discount was calculated to be the fair value of the warrants included among the securities issued pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement discussed in Note 11.

(L)
Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery or shipment of the products, at which time title passes to the customer provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is deemed probable.

(M)
Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”)).  Under this ASC, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under this ASC, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

(N)
Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of Huifeng Bio-Pharmaceutical and Northwest is US$ and the functional currency of Huifeng Bio-Technic, Huifeng Engineering and Huifeng Pharmaceutical is Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement operations.

The financial statements are translated into United States Dollars (“US$”) using the closing rate method.  The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates.  The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.  All exchange differences are recorded within equity.

 
F-9

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:

   
December 31, 2009
 
December 31, 2008
Balance sheet items, except for preferred
       
stock, common stock, additional paid-in
       
capital and retained earnings, as of year end
 
US$1=RMB6.83720
 
US$1=RMB6.85420
         
Amounts included in the statements of
       
operations and cash flows for the year
 
US$1=RMB6.84088
 
US$1=RMB6.96225

The translation gain recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $31,347 and $601,815 respectively.

No presentation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$ at the above rates. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representation that the RMB could be converted into US$ at that rate or any other rate.

The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions, any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting.

Basic income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share in 2008 and amended to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share in 2009 and a stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effects of the stock warrants and stock option were anti-dilutive in nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Condification), “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall” (ASC Topic 105-10). The Codification established one source for all U.S. GAAP. The Codification supersedes, but does not change, all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Throughout this report, references provided to applicable portions of the Codification also include reference to the original FASB standard (SFAS), staff position (FSP) or consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF).

In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”) (ASC Topic 715-20-65). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) requires more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) also requires, for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), disclosure of the effect of the measurements on changes in plan assets for the period. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) must be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, the Company does not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-6 Improving Disclosures about Fair Measurements ("ASU 2010-6"). ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that require separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the presentation of separate information regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, ASU 2010-6 provides amendments to subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. ASU 2010-6 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-2 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary- a Scope Clarification ("ASU 2010-2"). ASU 2010-2 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU 2010-2 is effective for the Company starting January 3, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-2 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-17 Consolidations (Topic 810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in ASU 2009-17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-17 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-16 Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets ("ASU 2009-16"). ASU 2009-16 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The amendments in ASU 2009-16 improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In October, 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing”( amendments to ASC Topic 470, Debt)” (“ASU 2009-15”), and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance.  At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.  Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs.  The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement.  The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009.   The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, “Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to ASC Topic 985, Software)” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 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 early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 
F-11

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 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 early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU2009-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent) which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall. The amended guidance offers investors a practical expedient for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (NAV). The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities (formerly proposed as FASB Staff Position No. 48-d, Application Guidance for Pass-Through Entities and Tax-Exempt Not-for-Profit Entities and Disclosure Modifications for Nonpublic Entities), which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes – Overall. ASU 2009-06 clarifies that an entity’s assertion that it is a pass-through entity is a tax position and should be assessed in accordance with Subtopic 740-10. Additionally, the ASU provides implementation guidance on the attribution of income taxes to entities and owners. The revised guidance is effective for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

 In August 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-5 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value ("ASU 2009-5"). ASU 2009-5 provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-5 clarifies that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value. ASU 2009-5 was effective for the Company for interim and annual periods ending after October 3, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 In August 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-4 Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments—an Amendment to Section 480-10-S99 ("ASU 2009-4"). ASU 2009-4 represents a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") update to Section 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The adoption of guidance within ASU 2009-4 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (subsequently codified into FASB ASC Topic 105) which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles for U.S. GAAP issued by the FASB. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and subsequent to adoption, the FASB will issue new standards in the form of ASUs, and no longer as SFASs, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. The Codification is effective for reporting periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance on subsequent events (originally issued as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, and subsequently codified into FASB ASC Topic 855). Topic 855 addresses the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Topic 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly (originally issued as FASB Staff Position SFAS 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, and subsequently codified within FASB ASC Topic 820). The guidance provides additional guidance to expand on the factors that should be considered in estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

 In April 2009, FASB issued Staff Position ("FSP") No. 115-2 and FSP 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (now codified within ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities ("ASC 320")). ASC 320 provides greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and more effectively communicates when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. ASC 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. The impairment model for equity securities was not affected. Under ASC 320, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized through earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. This standard was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 320 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (now codified within ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825")). ASC 825 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. ASC 825 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The Notes are due December 31, 2009 and are convertible into 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.

 
F-15

 

As of December 31, 2009, a Note holder converted the principal amount of $200,000 of its Note into 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On December 24, 2009, the Company and six other investors, who held Notes totaling $1,800,000 of the Notes, entered into an agreement to amend the Notes as follows:

1.
The maturity date of the Notes was extended from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2011;
2.
The conversion rate of the Notes into common stock was amended from $1 to $0.8;
3.
The exercise price of stock warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock was reduced from $1.5 to $1;
4.
The term of warrants was extended one year to December 31, 2011;
5.
The Company agreed to issue to the holders an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock in consideration for entering into the amendment; and
6.
The principal shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment schedule by percentages from 2.5% to 14.5% starting from April 30, 2010 and consequently to June 30, 2011 which payable at monthly end.

The holders of the Notes may convert the unpaid principal amount of the Notes into common stock of the Company at any time prior to maturity, at the applicable conversion price. The Company may prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with interest accrued, if any, upon not fewer than thirty days’ prior written notice to the holders.

In accordance with ASC 470-20 (formerly EITF 98-5), a beneficial conversion feature has been recorded on the extension of the maturity date of the Notes as the conversion price of the Notes of $0.8 is lower than the fair market value per share of $0.99 at December 24, 2009.
