Certain information and footnote  disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in  accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as  permitted by rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and  Exchange Commission (&amp;#8220;SEC&amp;#8221;). The December 31, 2012  consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited  consolidated financial statements of China Biologic Products, Inc.  (the &amp;#8220;Company&amp;#8221;). The accompanying unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction  with the December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial  statements of the Company included in the Company&amp;#8217;s annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal  recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the  financial position as of June 30, 2013, the results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash  flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been  made. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are  eliminated on consolidation.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial  statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of  assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and  liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated  financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and  expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ  from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates  and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and  equipment and intangibles with definite lives, the allowance for  doubtful accounts, the fair value determinations of equity  instruments and stock compensation awards, the realizability of  deferred tax assets and inventories, intangible asset, land use  right and property, plant and equipment, and accruals for income  tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic  environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in  those estimates and assumptions.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &lt;table style="clear:both;MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"   cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"&gt;  &lt;tr style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"&gt;  &lt;td style="WIDTH: 0.25in"&gt;  &lt;div&gt;(b)&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;Significant Concentration and Risks&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  The Company&amp;#8217;s operations are carried out in the  People&amp;#8217;s Republic of China (the &amp;#8220;PRC&amp;#8221;) and are  subject to specific considerations and significant risks not  typically associated with companies in North America and Western  Europe. Accordingly, the Company&amp;#8217;s business, financial  condition and results of operations may be influenced by the  political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the  general state of the PRC economy. The Company&amp;#8217;s results may  be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with  respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures,  currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of  taxation, among other matters.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;The Company maintains cash balances at  financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal  Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for its bank accounts  located in the United States or may exceed Hong Kong Deposit  Protection Board insured limits for its bank accounts located in  Hong Kong. Cash balances maintained at financial institutions or  state-owned banks in the PRC are not covered by insurance. Total  cash at banks as of&lt;/font&gt; June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013  and December 31, 2012 amounted to $&lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;146,777,083&lt;/font&gt; and $&lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;129,289,461&lt;/font&gt;, respectively, of which  $&lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;73,923&lt;/font&gt;and $&lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;76,101&lt;/font&gt; are insured, respectively. The  Company has not experienced any losses in uninsured bank deposits  and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks on  cash held in bank accounts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  The Company&amp;#8217;s two major products are human albumin and human  immunoglobulin for intravenous injection (&amp;#8220;IVIG&amp;#8221;).  &lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;Human albumin accounted for &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;42.5&lt;/font&gt;% and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;  38.7&lt;/font&gt;% of the total sales for the three months ended&lt;/font&gt;  June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and 2012, respectively,  and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;40.2&lt;/font&gt;% and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;46.4&lt;/font&gt;% of the total sales for the six  months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. IVIG accounted  for &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;39.4&lt;/font&gt;% and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;42.1&lt;/font&gt;% of the total sales for the three  months ended&lt;/font&gt; June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and  2012, respectively, and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;43.5&lt;/font&gt;%  and &lt;font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;37.4&lt;/font&gt;% of the total sales  for the six months ended June 30&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;,  2013 and 2012, respectively. If the market demands for human  albumin and IVIG cannot be sustained in the future or the price of  human albumin and IVIG decreases, the Company&amp;#8217;s operating  results could be adversely affected.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;Substantially all of the Company&amp;#8217;s  customers are located in the PRC. As of&lt;/font&gt; June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no significant  concentration of credit risk. There were no customers that  individually comprised 10% or more of the total sales during the  three months and six months ended&lt;/font&gt; June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No individual  customer represented 10% or more of trade receivables at&lt;/font&gt;  June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and December 31, 2012,  respectively. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of  its customers&amp;#8217; financial condition and, generally, requires  no collateral from its customers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;  &lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;There were no suppliers that comprised  10% or more of the total purchases for the three months and six  months ended&lt;/font&gt; June 30&lt;font style="COLOR: black"&gt;, 2013 and  2012, respectively. No individual vendor&lt;/font&gt;&amp;#160;represented  more than 10% of accounts payables as at June 30, 2013.
