INCOME TAXES [Text Block]

NOTE E – INCOME TAXES

Under the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) of the PRC, prior to 2007, Chinese enterprises are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% ( 30% statutory income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments, unless the enterprise is located in a specially designated region for which more favorable effective tax rates are applicable. Beginning on January 1, 2008, the new EIT law has replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate previously applicable to both DES and FIEs. The two year tax exemption, six year 50% tax reduction and tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs will be eliminated. According to the Western Developing Plan implemented by the PRC Government, Chaoying Biotech is entitled to a 50% reduction in EIT of preferential policy, but not less than 15%. As a result, Chaoying Biotech’s effective EIT tax rate has been 15% since 2008.

The Company’s income tax expense includes U.S. and PRC income taxes. There were no U.S. current taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 according to net loss incurred in the U.S. entity, which will not be anticipated to have any tax benefit in the future since no revenue is expected to be generated in the U.S as a result of discontinuing the U.S. operating company in Maryland in October 2007. There was $162 of PRC current income taxes accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2012 in SD Chaoying.
