Re:
Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed April 3, 2008
File No. 333-147363
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to the staff’s correspondence of April 18, 2008 to our client, Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), relating to the subject registration statement (the “Comment Letter”). On behalf of the Company, we have the following responses to the staff’s comments:
 
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1
 
General
 
1.
We have reviewed your response to your prior comment number 3 and have the following comments:
 
a.
With respect to part (b) of your response, we note you state that there was no monetary value exchanged in this transaction. Please clarify what is meant by that statement. In so doing, please reconcile this statement with your disclosure on page F-8 regarding the "interest-free loan" you provided to Aoxing Pharmaceutical. Lastly, please revise your disclosure to elaborate on the significant terms and stipulations associated with this loan.


 
Mr. Jeffery P. Riedler

This transaction means the acquisition of management control over Aoxing Pharmaceutical when Aoxing Pharmaceutical and Shaanxi Biostar entered into the Management Entrustment Agreement, Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement and Share Pledge Agreement (the “Agreements”). As result of entering into the Agreements Shaanxi Biostar acquired management control of Aoxing Pharmaceutical, thus is required to consolidate the financial statements of Aoxing Pharmaceutical according to FIN 46R.
 
There was no monetary value exchanged in this transaction meaning no cash consideration was exchanged in order for both parties to execute those agreements. In exchange for entering into the Agreements, the Company issued 19,832,311 shares of its common stock to Aoxing Pharmaceutical owners. Consequently, the owners of Aoxing Pharmaceutical own a majority of the Company's common stock immediately following this transaction, therefore, this transaction is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition", and Aoxing Pharmaceutical is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse acquisition. Aoxing Pharmaceutical was provided funds to maintain its operations by Shaanxi Biostar as required by the Management Entrustment Agreement, and the capital provided to Aoxing Pharmaceutical to support its operations was recorded as loan to Aoxing Pharmaceutical and eliminated during consolidation with the financial statements of Aoxing Pharmaceutical. This loan is not interest bearing and there was no written note to this loan. Shaanxi Biostar shall continue to provide additional funds if and as required by Aoxing Pharmaceutical which will be accounted for in the same manner.
 
The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page F-8 of the Registration Statement.
 
b.
Additionally, with respect to part (b) of your response, please revise your financial statements to provide a discussion of the shares of your common stock that were issued to the trustee of a BVI. Include the number of shares issued and the dates the shares were issued. Clarify whether there were any stipulations attached to the issuance of these shares.
 
The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page F-7 of the Registration Statement. There was a BVI trust agreement between the BVI trust company and certain of the Aoxing Pharmaceutical owners, now Biostar’s shareholders after the issuance of the shares. The Company advises the Staff that there were no stipulations attached to the issuance of the shares to the trusts or the other shareholders.
 
c.
With respect to your response to part (c) of our prior comment number three, please clarify the duration of the "entrusted period" referenced in your response.
 
The Company advises the Staff that the "entrusted period" is from the effective date of the Management Entrustment Agreement to the termination of business operations of Aoxing Pharmaceutical or any successor company thereto.
 
Prospectus Summary
 
2.
We note your response to Comment 6 and reissue the comment in part. We continue to note instances where you refer to Aoxing as "we" and "our." For example:

·
On page 7 "...we manufacture three OTC products, two prescription-based pharmaceuticals and ten nutritional supplements;"
·
On page 16 "Our success depends on our ability to protect our current and future technologies and products and to defend our intellectual property rights;"
·
On page 35 references to "our business in China," "our best selling product," "We currently have three patents pending approval..." and "...we activated a series of strategic projects..."
 
Please review your references to "we" and "our" throughout your document to ensure that they refer to Biostar or to change them if they refer to Aoxing.
 
The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comments throughout the Registration Statement.
 
Risk Factors
 
"The loss of Aoxing Pharmaceutical as our operating business . . .", page 12
 
3.
We note your response to Comment 9. Please expand your disclosure to provide the following additional information:
 
·
Describe the circumstances in which either party may terminate the Management Entrustment Agreement and other contractual agreements.
 
The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the Management Entrustment Agreement has been revised so that it can only be terminated (i) on the termination of the business of Shaanxi Biostar or (ii) upon the date on which Shaanxi Biostar completes the acquisition of Aoxing Pharmaceutical. The Amended and Restated Management Entrustment Agreement is being re-filed as Exhibit 10.1. The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment and this amendment. Please see pages 12 and 42 of the Registration Statement.
 
·
Expand your disclosure clarify that affiliates stand on both sides of the agreement and therefore it would be easy to terminate the agreement and the unaffiliated investors would have little or no recourse since all of the operating entity's assets are located in China.
 
The Company supplementally advises the Staff that it has revised the Management Entrustment Agreement so that it may not be easily terminated by the affiliated parties. However, the risk factor now indicates that it could be breached by the parties because they stand on both sides of the agreement which the Company believes reflects the Staff’s concern. The Company believes that the affiliated shareholders have little economic incentive to breach the Management Entrustment Agreement as the value of Biostar’s publicly traded shares would carry a higher valuation than the private shares of Aoxing Pharmaceutical.
 
Subject to the discussion above, the Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page 12 of the Registration Statement.

·
If accurate, state that if the contractual relationships prove to be unenforceable under PRC law that you would have no sources of revenue and no assets.
 
The Company has made revisions reflecting the fact that the agreement is enforceable but that investors may have difficulty pursuing their rights in the PRC in the event that there is a breach of contract in which case the contract is terminated. Please see page 12 of the Registration Statement.
 
·
Clarify that the risk that the agreements could prove to be unenforceable relate to the PRC prohibition of direct share exchanges between a PRC entity and an offshore company. Additionally, explain any other reasons why your agreements may prove to be unenforceable.
 
The Management Entrustment Agreement is enforceable according to its terms. The risks are not attributable to enforcement relates but relate to the risks and difficulties associated with the litigating claims in PRC courts. These risks are discussed in the section entitled “The PRC laws and regulations governing Aoxing Pharmaceutical’s current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may harm its business” and " The PRC's legal and judicial system may not adaquately protect our business and the rights of foreign investors."
 
Under the relevant PRC laws if a share exchange is utilized, the shareholders of the target company must receive shares equal to or greater than the value of their shares. The valuation of the target company’s shares is based on an appraisal which must be approved by the PRC government. The Management Entrustment Agreement is utilized as a viable alternative structure to a share exchange and the enforceability of the Management Entrustment Agreement is not determined by our decision not to structure this transaction as a share exchange.
 
The Company has revised the Registration Statement to reflect the forgoing discussion. Please see pages 8 and 43 of the Registration Statement.
 
·
Discuss the conflicts of interest that would exist if the agreements were determined to be unenforceable.
 
The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page 12 of the Registration Statement.
 
"We may require additional financing in the future and a failure to obtain . . .," page 13
 
4.
Explain how you would acquire funding from secondary distributions.
 
The Company advises the Staff that it has no current plans for any additional financing. Funds could be raised from private placements of securities that may or may not be subsequently registered for resale or through offering the Company’s securities for sale in the public markets (as a secondary distribution) by underwriters or the Company pursuant to an effective registration. The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page 13 of the Registration Statement.

The Company supplementally advises the Staff that is currently has no plans to acquire companies other than in the PRC through Shaanxi Biostar or Aoxing Pharmaceutical but it reserves the right to change this strategy in the future. The Company has made revisions in accordance with the Staff’s comment. Please see page 13 of the Registration Statement.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
11.
Refer to your response to our prior comment number 57. Please tell us and disclose your customers' ability to return products. In addition, please tell us how you were able to use historical sales returns as the basis for recording zero return allowances when sales have increased 176% in total and as much as 326% in some product lines.
 
The customers are only allowed to exchange products. Historically, very few such exchanges happened evidenced by that the exchanges as a percentage of sales were equivalent to zero. The increase in sales was largely due to selling to consumers through retail pharmacies at higher price. And the common practice in China is that consumers are not allowed to return products, if the consumers are allowed to exchange unopened products, the unopened products can always be sold to another consumer by the retail pharmacy. Therefore, although the sales were increased in 2007, the sales exchange didn’t increase and as a percentage of sales, it was equivalent to zero.


 
Mr. Jeffery P. Riedler

In addition, as part of the audit, our auditors perform additional testing, such as subsequent cash collection to ensure no sales return allowances are actually extended to customers which substantiates this accounting estimate.

It appears you have accounted for this transaction as a reverse acquisition. If our assertion is correct, please tell us and revise your disclosure here and throughout the document to:
 
a.
Clarify the basis for your accounting for the transaction as a reverse acquisition. Ensure your revised disclosure states which party is the acquirer for accounting purposes.
 
Shaanxi Biostar acquired control in Aoxing Pharmaceutical through the execution of a series of contractual agreements with Aoxing Pharmaceutical and its owners (the “Transaction”). In exchange for executing the agreements, Biostar, the parent company of Shaanxi Biostar, issued 19,832,311 shares of its common stock to Aoxing Pharmaceutical owners, representing approximately 90% of the Company’s common stock outstanding after the Transaction. Consequently, the owners of Aoxing Pharmaceutical own a majority of the Company's common stock immediately following the Transaction, therefore, the Transaction is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition", and Aoxing Pharmaceutical is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse acquisition.

Additionally, if the transaction did not result from the exchange of cash, please tell us how you determined the value of these shares.

During year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 22,152,311 shares of common stock.

On April 1, 2007, the Company executed a Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreement with Friedland Corporate Investor Services LLC ("Friedland"). The advisory agreement provided that Friedland will assist the Company in forming a Wholly-Owned Foreign Enterprise ("WOFE") under the laws of PRC, in acquiring control of a PRC business enterprise, and the Company becoming publicly traded in the United States. As consideration for these services, on November 1, 2007, the Company issued 2,320,000 shares of its common stock to 20 Friedland designees including 104,400 shares to the then sole director of the Company.

On November 1, 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shaanxi Biostar, acquired management control of Aoxing Pharmaceutical. In exchange for the acquisition of control, the Company issued 19,832,311 shares of its common stock to Aoxing Pharmaceutical’s owners.

Because Biostar was a shell corporation with no operations that acquired an operating company through its wholly owned subsidiary, this transaction should be treated as a recapitalization. The accounting for recapitalization is similar in form to a reverse acquisition, except that goodwill or other intangibles are not recorded at the time of the reverse acquisition. In a recapitalization, the shares retained by the stockholders other than Aoxing Pharmaceutical owners were valued at the amount of net assets of the accounting acquiree (i.e. Biostar) which was consolidated with the net assets of the accounting acquirer (i.e. Aoxing Pharmaceutical). And the par value of these shares was reclassified from additional paid-in capital of the combined entity.

Because this transaction was a recapitalization to the stockholder’s equity, thus it was not included on the statement of cash flows as a financing activity or as a supplemental disclosure of non-cash activity.
 
26.
Please toll us why you are recording an entry for the "effect of initial VIE consolidation".
 
As the Company has accounted for the Transaction as reverse acquisition, the Company has revised the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity to reflect the accounting for reverse acquisition and deleted the entry for "effect of initial VIE consolidation".

Further, please tell us and revise your disclosure to provide a discussion as to how the proprietary technologies were acquired. Lastly, please elaborate on the professional valuation obtained for the proprietary technologies.

The proprietary technologies were contributed by 4 shareholders of Aoxing Pharmaceutical, now also the shareholders of the Company. The value of the proprietary technologies has been assessed in the capital verification report which was not a fair market valuation. The capital verification report vouched various payments which were made by various shareholders for the costs and business Licenses attributable to these technologies.
 
28.
Your current disclosure states that the amortization period for intangible assets range "from one to fifty years". Please disclose the precise amortization period for each of your intangible assets.
 
The disclosure of “from one to fifty years” was an error; the wording should be change to read “from ten to fifty years”. This will be consistent with the amortization periods listed for land use rights and proprietary technologies.

The Company has made revisions. Please see page F-10 of the Registration Statement.
