Other current assets also included inventories, due from related companies, loan to unaffiliated company, and other receivables and prepaid expenses. Inventories are mainly finished goods. Other components of inventories include raw materials, work in process, packaging material and housing inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of first in first out method (“FIFO”). Finished goods are determined on the weighted average basis and are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

The other primary assets included in current assets are loans to an unaffiliated company, QuanYe Security Co., Ltd (“QuanYe”), an unrelated PRC registered company located in Xian, PRC. QuanYe is engaged in the pawnshop business and its primary business is offering alternative financing sources to small, local companies. According to the loan agreement, QuanYe has received loans from Chaoying Biotech in a total amount of RMB 29.3 million (equivalent to $3,849,185) since January 2006. A remaining balance of RMB 7.3 million (equivalent to $1,069,989) was extended to and expired on March 24, 2008. As of June 30, 2011, the principal balance and interest receivable for this loan had been reduced to RMB 0.15 Million (equivalent to $23,207) and RMB 0, respectively, net of allowance of $69,622 and $177,177 for doubtful principal balance receivable and interest receivable after charging $68,830 of bad debt expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The interest rate for these loans initially was initially 8% per year, and subsequently reduced to 5% since October 9, 2006.

The Company’s management believes and views QuanYe as suitable alternative financial institution and it is an optimal way to use its cash on hand. The regular market interest rate in the PRC is proximately 0.72% per annum. The Company expects to obtain higher interest income for its unused fund through these types of loan arrangements. However, these advances are unsecured and have a default risk higher than that associated with a bank deposit.

Included in non-current assets are property, plant and equipment, construction-in-progress and intangible assets. Property, plant and equipment mainly consist of building, office equipments, motor vehicles, leasehold improvement, software-website, and machinery used for product manufacturing located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. The majority of the assets have estimated useful lives of 10 years. Building and office equipment have estimated useful lives of 20 and 5 years, respectively. The “construction in progress” in the amount of $6,105,086 mainly consisted of land under development and construction of the entertainment, culture, and casino facility in Shandong Province, which will be transferred to fixed assets in SD Chaoying when construction is completed. As of June 30, 2011, construction-in-progress of $3.65 million and land use rights of $3.09 million of SD Chaoying were collateralized under a short-term loan from Changle Rural Credit Union. For the $3.09 million land use rights, $2.45 million was classified under construction-in-progress for the commercial property and the remaining $0.64 million was classified under intangible assets subject to amortization. Intangible assets included a tissue chip patent at Chaoying Biotech and $0.64 million of land use rights being put in operation for the partial completed commercial property at SD Chaoying. Effective January 1, 2002, with the adoption of the accounting guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis. The patent is being amortized over its estimated life of 10 years. The land use rights classified in intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated life of 36.9 years through the maturity of the land use rights for commercial use on November 6, 2047.
