SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future performance of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements usually contain the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” or similar expressions, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should carefully review various risks and uncertainties identified in this Report, including the matters set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and in the Company’s other SEC filings. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
 
Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risks Relating to Our Business” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We file reports with the SEC. You can read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, 100 F. Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549 on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including the Company.
 
We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this annual report, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

SKYSTAR BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company (“Skystar” or the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada. The Company has not carried on any substantive operations of its own, except for the entering of certain exclusive agreements with Xian Tianxing Bio-Pharmaceutical Co., Limited (“Xian Tianxing”), a joint stock company in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”), through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical (Cayman) Holdings Co., Limited (“Skystar Cayman”), a Cayman Islands company which the Company acquired on November 7, 2005. Skystar Cayman, through its variable interest entity (“VIE”), Xian Tianxing, engages in research, development, production, marketing and sales of veterinary healthcare and medical care products. All current operations of the Company are in China.

On August 21, 2007, Xian Tianxing invested $66,700 to establish Shanghai Siqiang Biotechnological Company Limited (“Shanghai Siqiang”). Shanghai Siqiang was established in Putuo District, City of Shanghai, China with a registered capital of $66,700 and Xian Tianxing is the 100% shareholder. Shanghai Siqiang was established to become a research and development center for Xian Tianxing and engages in research, development, production and sales of veterinary products, feed additives, and veterinary disease diagnosis equipments.

On October 16, 2007, the board of directors of the Company approved the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fortunate Time International Limited (“Fortunate Time”), a Hong Kong company owned 100% by the Company’s non-executive director Russell Scott Cramer, for $129 (HKD 1,000).

On July 10, 2007, Fortunate Time established Sida Biotechnology (Xian) Co., Ltd. (“Sida”) with registered capital of $5,000,000. Fortunate Time invested $2,000,000 into Sida on July 20, 2007, which amount is payable to Skystar Cayman. Pursuant to the Xian High Technology District approval notice, Fortunate Times is required to contribute the remaining $3,000,000 of registered capital by July 09, 2009. Except for the $2,000,000 investment in Sida Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and payables to Skystar Cayman for the same amount, Fortunate Time did not have any assets or liabilities. Sida was established in a high technology district in Xian, China. Sida’s principal business is to perform veterinary bio-pharmaceutical research, production and selling activities. Sida also provides technology consultation services to Xian Tianxing.

On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a series of agreements (collectively the “Transfer Agreements”) transferring the contractual arrangements governing the relationship among Skystar Cayman, Xian Tianxing, and the majority shareholders of Xian Tianxing. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreements, all of the rights and obligations of Skystar Cayman under the contractual arrangements were transferred to Sida. In effect, Skystar Cayman assigned the contractual rights it had with Xian Tianxing to Sida.

As a result of these contractual arrangements, which obligates Sida to absorb all of the risk of loss from Xian Tianxing’s activities and enable Sida to receive all of its expected residual returns, Sida accounts for Xian Tianxing as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. Accordingly, Sida consolidates Xian Tianxing’s results, assets and liabilities.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entities. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Consolidation of variable interest entity

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R"), variable interest entities (VIEs) are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has concluded that Xian Tianxing is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Skystar Cayman (prior March 10, 2008) and Sida (March 10, 2008 and thereafter), absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Xian Tianxing’s activities and enable the Company to receive a majority of its expected residual returns, the Company accounts for Xian Tianxing as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. For example, the Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts and useful lives of plant and equipment. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair values of financial instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 which 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 current receivables, payables and short term loans qualify 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:

 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
 
9


SKYSTAR BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
·
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 liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
 
 
·
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” During 2007, the Company issued 8% convertible debentures in a face amount of $4.075 million which are due February 28, 2009. During 2007 and the second quarter of 2008, the entire amount of $4.075 million of debentures were converted into common stock. As fixed prices are set for the conversion prices of such convertible debentures and the attached warrants, the Company is in a position to be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of convertible debentures and warrants. Therefore, the embedded derivatives and warrants were recorded as equity and are not required to be recorded at fair value and marked-to-market at each reporting period.

Revenue recognition

Revenues of the Company include sales of veterinary healthcare and medical care products in China. Sales are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT). No return allowance is made as product returns are insignificant based on historical experience.

 
a.
Credit sales: Revenue is recognized when the products have been delivered to the customers.

 
b.
Full payment before delivering: Revenue is recognized when the products have been delivered to customers.

Shipping and handling costs related to costs of goods sold are included in selling, general and administrative costs, which totaled $85,084 and $51,370 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $123,888 and $ 75,341 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Cash

Cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Restricted cash

The Company had restricted cash of $80,296 and $74,969 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The restricted cash was received from the PRC government subsidies and set aside for the specific usages (see Note 10). The restricted funds are kept as bank deposits. Restricted cash is classified as current assets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, based on the expected period when the funds will be put into their specific usages.

Accounts and other receivables

Accounts and other receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debt percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, then the adjustment will be classified as a change in estimate.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on moving weighted average basis, or market. Costs of inventories include purchases and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 
Estimated Useful Life
Buildings
20-40 years
Machinery and equipment
10 years
Computer, office equipment and furniture
5 years
Automobiles
5-10 years

Management assesses the carrying value of plant and equipment annually, or more often when factors indicating impairment are present, and reduces the carrying value of the fixed assets by the amount of the impairment. The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the net asset carrying value. An impairment loss, if exists, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Based on its review, management believes that, as of June 30, 2008, there was no impairment of its plant and equipment.

Construction in progress

Construction in progress includes direct costs of construction of a factory building. Interest incurred during the period of construction, if material, is capitalized. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are completed and put into service.

Intangibles

Land use rights - Land use rights represent the costs paid to acquire a long-term interest to utilize the land underlying the Company’s facility. This type of arrangement is common for the use of land in the PRC. The land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the 50 year term of the land use rights.

Technological know-how - Purchased technological know-how includes secret formulas, manufacturing processes, technical and procedural manuals and is amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful economic life of 5 years, which reflects the period over which those formulas, manufacturing processes, technical and procedural manuals are kept secret to the Company as agreed between the Company and the selling party.

Impairment of intangibles - The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangibles annually, or more often when factors indicating impairment are present, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of intangible assets. SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2008, there were no significant impairments of its intangible assets.

Comprehensive income

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed to operations as incurred and include salaries, professional fees and technical support fees.

Income taxes

The Company records income tax pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The adoption had no affect on the Company’s financial statements. There are no deferred tax amounts at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in the PRC jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. The ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain as a result.

The Company does not anticipate any events which could cause change to these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when related items are credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Stock based compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123R”), which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. SFAS 123R allow the “simplified” method to determine the term when other information is not available. Because the Company does not have a history of employee stock options, the Company used the “simplified” method to estimates the life of the options.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the common share equivalents of the Company’s convertible preferred stock outstanding. The Company accounts for a stock dividend or split in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires that a stock dividend or split be accounted for retrospectively if the stock dividend or split occurs during the period, or retroactively if the stock dividend or split occurs after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it outstanding for the entirety of each period presented.
 
Foreign currency translation

The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. dollars”) for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiary and VIEs maintain their books and records in their functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.

In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates the subsidiary’s and VIEs’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the subsidiary’s and VIEs’ financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

This quotation of the exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People's Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rate quoted by the People's Bank of China. The rate of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China on June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was US$1.00 to RMB6.85 and RMB 7.29, respectively. The weighted average translation rate of US$1.00 to RMB7.05 and RMB7.71 was applied to the income statement accounts in June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations, was issued. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 141R will have on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). Effective on January 1, 2009, SFAS 161 seeks to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To achieve this increased transparency, SFAS 161 requires (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and gains and losses in a tabular format; (2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3) cross-referencing within the footnotes. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new disclosure requirements under SFAS 161.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). FAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 

In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 07-5 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 08-4 on the accounting for the consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 - DEFERRED GOVERNMENT GRANT

The amounts represent subsidies for GMP projects granted by the PRC government. A subsidy in the amount of $641,000 was approved by the PRC government to be granted to the Company for the purpose of constructing a new factory which operations will meet the GMP Standard. In 2003, $516,500 was received by the Company and the remaining $124,500 was received in the first quarter of 2006. According to the PRC’s government regulations for these types of grants, the funds being granted may be treated as capital contributed by the company appointed by the PRC government (“contributing company”) or as a loan from such company, which the Company will be required to repay. However, no agreement has been reached with the contributing company regarding the final treatment of this subsidy.

Also in 2003, another subsidy of $256,400 was received for financing the Company’s research and development activities. In 2006, the Company applied and utilized $186,644 in paying for the construction of the new plant facility. In 2005, another subsidy of $64,100 was received for the Company’s research and development activities. This amount was put into use during 2005. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not reached a final agreement with the PRC government regarding the treatment of these two subsidies as either a loan or capital contribution, and the Company does not expect that the final agreement will be completed within the year of 2008; therefore, these amounts are carried as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

Compensation expense of $9,365 was charged to general and administrative expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Note 12 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with several institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers $4.075 million 8% convertible debentures due February 28, 2009 (the “Debentures”), and warrants to purchase 4,075,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”), (collectively referred to as the “Transaction”). The initial conversion price of the debentures is $1.00 per share. The initial exercise price of the warrants is $1.20 per share with a life of three years. The conversion price and warrant exercise price are subject to downward adjustments should the Company issue more shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock for capital raising activities for less than the conversion price or exercise price. Additional interest of 15% would begin in June 2007 and would continue through February 2008, after which the additional interest woould increase to 25% through the maturity date of the note.

The transaction closed on February 27, 2007. Gross proceeds from the sale to the Company were $4.075 million, of which $285,250 was paid to Pacific Ridge Capital who served as placement agent for the transaction and $52,500 was paid to consultants for the Purchasers in connection with the transaction. The Company also issued to the placement agent a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 570,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share with a life of five years. The value of the warrants issued to the placement agent was calculated as $643,277 using the Binomial Model. The total amount of the cash payments and the fair value of the warrants amounted to $981,027, which was recorded as deferred debenture expenses. These costs will be amortized to interest expense over the two year life of the Debentures. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $0 and $122,628 was amortized to interest expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $21,817 and $163,504 was amortized to interest expense, respectively.
 
The Company determined the value of the warrants using a Binomial Model with a volatility of approximately 75%, which is calculated by using the historical closing prices of the Company’s common stock. According to APB No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, EITF-98-5, and EITF-00-27, the Company allocated the proceeds using relative fair value method and determined that the Debentures were issued with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, on February 27, 2007, the allocated value of the Warrants amounted to $1,944,425 and the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $2,130,575. The allocated value of the Warrants and beneficial conversion feature totaling $4,075,000, was recorded as discount (or reduction in the carrying amount) of the Debentures and additional paid-in capital and will be amortized over the two year life of the Debentures using the effective interest method. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $0 and $500,102 was amortized as interest expense, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $114,990 and $592,020 was amortized as interest expense, respectively.

On or about December 6, 2007, the Company entered into an Amendment, Exchange and Waiver Agreement (“Amended Agreement”), dated as of November 9, 2007, with certain of the purchasers (“Participating Purchasers”). Below are highlights of the Amended Agreement:

·
The Amended Agreement amends the terms of the Debentures held by the Participating Purchasers by: (a) changing the conversion price from $1.00 per share to $0.85 per share; (b) deleting the trading conditions for mandatory conversion; (c) granting the Company the right to mandatory conversion at any time, and (d) allowing the Company to designate the date for the mandatory conversion.
   
·
The Amended Agreement amends the terms of the Warrants held by the Participating Purchasers by: (a) changing the exercise price from $1.20 per share to $0.95 per share; and (b) granting to the Participating Purchasers the right to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis
   
·
The Amended Agreement is deemed to be: (a) the Company’s notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to require conversion of the entire outstanding principal of the Debentures held by the Participating Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid interest thereto; and (b) the Participating Purchasers’ notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to the Company to exercise all of their unexercised Warrants on a cashless basis
   
·
The Amended Agreement amends the Registration Rights Agreement by waiving all outstanding registration damages due to the Purchasers in their entirety. Because the outstanding principal amounts of the Debentures held by the Participating Purchasers, as of the effective date of the Agreement, total more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the outstanding Debentures held by all the Purchasers on that date, the amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement binds all of the Purchasers.

The Company has evaluated the cost of the amended terms of the Warrants and the Debentures. As the amendment has reduced the exercise price of the Warrants and the conversion price of the Debentures held by the Participating Purchasers, the difference between the value of the Warrants and the conversion option at the old prices and their value at the modified prices are costs for the Company and are charged to income.

The inducement cost for the Debentures converted is $634,450 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The inducement cost for the Debentures converted was based on the market value of the additional 461,418 shares obtained by the Participating Purchasers at $1.375 per shares on November 9, 2007. The inducement cost for the Warrants exercised is $279,547 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The inducement cost for the Warrants exercised is calculated using the Binomial Model by determining the difference between the original exercise price of $1.20 shares and the reduced exercise price of $0.95.

3,076,120 shares of common stock were issued upon conversion of the Debentures with a carrying value of $2,548,632 at a reduced conversion price of $0.85. Another 202,600 shares of common stock were issued upon conversion of Participating Purchasers’ Debentures with a carry value of $202,600 at the original conversion price of $1.00.

In accordance with paragraph 21 of EITF 00-27, all unamortized discount at the time of the conversion must be recognized as interest expense. The unamortized discount of the above converted Debentures is $2,403,480, which has been recorded as interest expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized deferred financing costs of $540,167 at conversion of the Debentures into common stock was also recorded as interest expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In connection to the issuance of the Debentures, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, in which a registration statement registering the resale of the common stock into which the Debentures are convertible and for which the Warrants are exercisable, as well as certain other shares of the Company's common stock, is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than April 13, 2007 and be declared effective by the SEC not later than May 28, 2007 if there is no SEC review of the registration statement, and June 27, 2007 if there is an SEC review. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in liquidated damages of 2% of the aggregate purchase price of the Debentures and Warrants per month, pro rated for partial periods. The Company filed the registration statement on June 1, 2007, however, the registration statement did not become effective until September 25, 2007. Because the Amended Agreement waived all outstanding registration damages, the Company reversed the previously accrued liquidated damages totaling $345,017 at December 31, 2007.

The Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement (the “Amendment”) with two institutional and accredited investors who acquired the two remaining unconverted Debentures in a private transaction from the original holders of these Debentures effective April 21, 2008. The Amendment is similar to the above Amendment Agreement with significant differences summarized below:

·
The Amendment amends the terms of the Debentures held by these two investors by changing the conversion price from $1.00 per share to $0.80 per share
   
·
The Amendment is deemed to be: (a) the Company’s notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to require conversion of the entire outstanding principal of the Debentures held by these two investors and all accrued but unpaid interest thereto.
 
The difference between the value of the conversion option at the old prices and their value at the modified prices are costs for the Company and are charged to income. The inducement cost for the two Debentures converted was $257,775 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The inducement cost for the converted Debentures was based on the market value of the additional 245,501 shares obtained by these two investors at $1.05 per shares on April 21, 2008.

1,227,503 shares of common stock were issued upon conversion of the two Debentures with a carrying value of $982,003 (including $490,713 of default premium) at a reduced conversion price of $0.80.

In accordance with paragraph 21 of EITF 00-27, any unamortized discount at the time of the conversion must be recognized as interest expense. The unamortized discount of the above converted Debentures is $291,548, which has been recorded as interest expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The unamortized deferred financing costs of $79,998 at conversion of the Debentures was also recorded as interest expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Note 13 - STATUTORY RESERVES

Statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. Based on the legal formation of the entities, all PRC entities are required to set aside 10% of its net income as reported in its statutory accounts on an annual basis to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund. Once the total Statutory Surplus Reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of the respective subsidiaries, further appropriations are discretionary. The Statutory Surplus Reserve can be used to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses of the respective companies under PRC GAAP. The Company’s Statutory Surplus Reserve is not distributable to shareholders except in the event of liquidation.

The Reserve Fund can be used to increase the registered capital upon approval by relevant government authorities and eliminate future losses of the respective companies upon a resolution by the board of directors.

Appropriations to the above statutory reserves are accounted for as a transfer from unrestricted earnings to statutory reserves. During the period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company made total appropriations to these statutory reserves of $243,256, and $175,931, respectively.

The estimated tax savings due to the reduced tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $283,126 and $398,682, respectively. The net effect on earnings per share if the income tax had been applied would decrease basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 to $0.01 and $(0.05), respectively, and would decrease diluted earnings per share to $0.01 and $(0.05), respectively.

The Company was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purpose for 2008. The net operating loss carry forwards for United States income tax purposes amounted to $8,269,373 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2006 and continue through 2027. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appears to be uncertain due to Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance at June 30, 2008. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2008 was $3,367,668. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and will make adjustments as warranted.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, 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 Statement 109, 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.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

The Company’s accounting policy is to accrue interest and penalties, if and when required, as a component of income tax expenses or benefits in the income statement.

Note 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

The following demonstrates the calculation for earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

(b) Legal proceedings
 
In March 2006, Gregory Evans filed suit against the Company, R. Scott Cramer, Steve Lowe and David Wassung in State of Nevada District Court in Clark Country, Nevada, alleging causes of action for “Refusing to Call Vote of Shareholders” and “Conversion” on or about November 18, 2005. On December 1, 2007, the lawsuit was dismissed. Prior to the dismissal, the Company was never served with a summons or complaint in the matter.
  
In May 2007, Andrew Chien filed suit against the Company, R. Scott Cramer, Steve Lowe, David Wassung and Weibing Lu in United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleging causes of action for violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In or around November 2007, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim and for lack of personal jurisdiction.  Plaintiff agreed to voluntarily amend the complaint after the motions were filed, and an amended complaint was subsequently filed on or around January 4, 2008.  The amended complaint dropped Weibing Lu (who is a resident of China and had never been served) as a defendant.  The remaining defendants contended that the amended complaint failed to correct the deficiencies of the original, and filed a renewed motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, also preserving their challenge to personal jurisdiction.  The defendants denied all claims and moved the Court to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety in their motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss also requested that the Court award sanctions against Mr. Chien under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and other authority in the event the defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint is granted. On July 17, 2008, the Court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed the lawsuit.

Other than the above described legal proceeding, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings in which purchasers, any director, officer, or any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any affiliate of purchaser, or of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder, is a party adverse to Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. No provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements for the above contingencies.

(c) Ownership of leasehold property 

In 2005, one of the shareholders contributed a leasehold office building as additional capital of Xian Tianxing. However, the title of the leasehold property has not passed to the Company. Management believes that there should be no legal barriers for the shareholder to transfer the ownership to the Company. 

However, in the event that the Company fails to obtain the ownership certificate for the leasehold building, there is the risk that the buildings will need to be vacated due to illegitimate ownership. Management believes that this possibility, while present, is very remote. As a result, no provision has been made in the financial statements for this potential occurrence.

Note 18- POTENTIAL STOCK SPLIT

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s S-1 registration statement that was initially filed on May 7, 2008, the Company plans to effect a 5-for-1 reverse stock split and corresponding proportionate reduction of the number of shares of authorized common stock to be effected immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. As the number of authorized and outstanding shares will be equally impacted by this reverse stock split, except the basic and diluted EPS will be increased by five times higher than the current EPS number, the Company does not believe that there will be any other material impact to its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and 2006, should be read in conjunction with Selected Consolidated Financial Data and our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this prospectus. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bound of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Registration Statement. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Our financial statements are prepared in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See “Exchange Rates” below for information concerning the exchanges rates at which Renminbi (“RMB”) were translated into US$ at various pertinent dates and for pertinent periods.

Overview

We are a holding company that, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Sida Biotechnology (Xian) Co., Ltd. (“Sida”) and our variable interest entity ("VIE") Xian Tianxing Bio-Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Xian Tianxing”), manufacture and distribute medicines, vaccines and other health care and medical care products for poultry, livestock and domestic pets in the People’s Republic of China, which we will refer to as China. We have four product lines, including a vaccine line, a veterinary medicine line, a fodder and feed additives line, and a micro-organism line. All four product lines are developed, manufactured and distributed by Xian Tianxing, which we operate and control through contractual arrangements between Sida and Xian Tianxing. These contractual arrangements enable Sida to control and receive the profits of Xian Tianxing. Sida is the wholly owned subsidiary of Fortunate Time International Ltd. (“Fortunate Time”), which is wholly owned by Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical (Cayman) Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Skystar Cayman”), our wholly owned subsidiary. Xian Tianxing has a wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Siqiang Biotechnological Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Siqiang"), which we also control. Other than our interests in the contractual arrangements with Xian Tianxing, neither we nor our direct and indirect subsidiaries have any equity interests in Xian Tianxing.
 
Currently, our four product lines include the following number of products:

 
·
 
Our vaccine line currently includes 10 products;
 
 
 
 
 
·
 
Our veterinary medicine line for poultry and livestock currently includes 128 products;
 
 
 
 
 
·
 
Our fodder and feed additives line currently includes 10 products; and
 
 
 
 
 
·
 
Our micro-organism products line currently includes 10 products.
 
Among our prominent products is a vaccine that is designed to prevent the onset of avian coccidiosis disease, a parasitic and highly contagious gastrointestinal disease affecting chicken and other poultry. We refer to this vaccine as the “DLV chicken vaccine.” This disease has a significant economic impact to the poultry industry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that avian coccidiosis costs the worldwide poultry industry $3 billion in treatment expenses, bird losses and unmarketable birds due to low bird weight. Management believes that our DLV chicken vaccine is safe, effective and easy to administer, and may save costs by as much as 60% as compared to using conventional chemical medicines such as sulfaquinoxaline sodium and salinomycin sodium.

All of our revenues are derived from the sales of our animal healthcare and medical care products in China. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 5% of our revenues were derived from sales of vaccine products, approximately 66% from sales of veterinary medicine products, approximately 4% from sales of feed additive products, and approximately 25% from micro-organism products. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 5% of our revenues were derived from sales of vaccine products, approximately 64% from sales of veterinary medicine products, approximately 4% from sales of feed additive products, and approximately 27% from micro-organism products.

We sell our products through a distribution channel covering 29 provinces in China. As of August 11, 2008, we had over 760 distributors and 300 direct customers in 29 provinces in China. We intend to establish more representative offices and engage additional distribution agents in order to strengthen our distribution network.

On July 11, 2008, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada after stockholders approved a proposal at a special meeting of the stockholders held on June 30, 2008, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000.

2008 Outlook

Acquisition Strategy. We intend to continue exploring acquisitions of Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) certified veterinary healthcare and medical care products companies located close to our headquarters in Shaanxi province. One of our considerations for acquisition is that the potential target has production capacity for different dosage forms such as injectibles and powders. We may also consider acquiring veterinary healthcare and medical care products companies with similar production capacity in regions of China outside Shaanxi province. Our goal is to be among the top producers and distributors of veterinary health care and medical care products in China, and we hope to be able to complete some acquisitions by the end of 2008. We are looking at and making inquiries regarding potential acquisition targets. However, we have not entered into any letter of intent or definitive agreement with any potential acquisition targets as of the date of the prospectus.

Based on our own experience, we know that the GMP certification process requires considerable amount of resources, which may create cash flow issues for many of the small to medium-size veterinary healthcare and medical care products companies that currently make up a significant portion of our industry in China. Accordingly, unless we can accurately and effectively evaluate the financial conditions of a potential target company, we may expose our business operations to cash flow risks subsequent to an acquisition transaction.

Brand Awareness. Our goal is to associate the “Skystar” brand with reputable, high-quality veterinary health care and medical care products. We intend to spend a portion of our net proceeds in marketing and advertising efforts to increase the exposure of our brand with potential customers. We recognize the importance of branding as well as packaging. All of our products bear a uniform brand and we also brand and package our products with specialized designs to differentiate the different categories of our products.

We also conduct promotional marketing activities to publicize and enhance our image as well as to reinforce the recognition of our brand name, including:

·
 
publishing advertisements and articles in national as well as specialized and provincial newspapers, magazines, and in other media, including the Internet;

·
 
participating in national meetings, seminars, symposiums, exhibitions for veterinary healthcare and medical care products and other related industries; 

·
 
organizing cooperative promotional activities with distributors; and
     
·
 
sending direct mail to major farms.

However, we may not immediately realize measurable economic benefits from our marketing efforts, as brand awareness may require the passage of a significant amount of time and a continuing commitment of our resources. Moreover, we cannot give assurance that our marketing and branding efforts will ultimately be successful.
 
34

 
Manufacturing Facility. Under our current planning and if we are able to complete a financing by the end of the third quarter, the vaccine manufacturing facility at our Huxian Plant is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2008 and obtain GMP certification in early 2009. Once completed, we believe that this facility will increase production capacity by 6.0 billion units with a value of $14.0 million in projected revenue at a gross margin rate of 60-70%.

However, there is no assurance that we will be able to complete the facility as planned, which may thereby also delay the projected GMP certification. In addition, as the GMP certification is conducted by unrelated third party, we cannot give assurance that our facility will be GMP certified or when the certification can be completed.

Additional Products. We plan to commercialize new products in each of the four product lines. We are also expending significant amount of resources into our research and development in order to have additional products in the future. Management believes that such products will ultimately increase future revenue to our company. However, due to the unpredictable natures of many of the afflictions and diseases that our products are intended to address and/or prevent, we cannot give assurance as to the success of any new products, since market acceptance and demands of any such product may significant shift and adversely affect our profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, may vary from the related actual results. We consider the following to be the most critical accounting policies:

·
Revenue recognition: Our revenues are primarily sales of veterinary healthcare and medical care products in China. Sales are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT) and estimated returns of product from distributors and/or customers. We allow our distributors and/our customers to return product only if our product is later determined by us to be ineffective. Based on our historical experience over the past three years, product returns have been insignificant throughout all of our product lines: Micro-Organism, Veterinary Medications, Feed Additives and Vaccines. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions for sales returns. Sales returns are taken against revenue when products are returned from a distributor and/or customers. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers. We use this recognition policy for both distributors and end users.
 
 
(a)
Credit sales: Revenue is recognized when the products have been delivered to the customers.
     
   
(b)
Full payment before delivering: Revenue is recognized when the products have been delivered to customers.
 
 
 
·
Accounts receivable: We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customers’ current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past.

·
Convertible debentures and warrants: We have adopted APB No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, FAS 133, EITF-98-5, and EITF-00-27, for valuation and accounting treatment of our outstanding convertible debentures and warrants.
 
 
·
Liquidated damages: We have adopted FAS 5 and FSP EITF 00-19-2 in connection with the liquidated damages we accrued pursuant to the terms of our Registration Rights Agreement with certain investors dated February 27, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” under which entities will now be permitted to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.
 
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 and expensed the research and development as incurred.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R),“Business Combinations”, which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect of the application of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have and impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have and impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
36


In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. This standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 07-5 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted.

Revenues All of our revenue is derived from the sale of veterinary healthcare and medical care products in the PRC. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had revenues of $4,478,194 as compared to revenues of $3,374,459 during the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 32.71%.

Revenues- Veterinary Medications. Revenues from sales of our veterinary medications product line increased from $1,518,259 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,934,247 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for an increase of $1,415,988 or 93%. This increase was responsible for almost all of the growth of overall revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in veterinary medication sales was primarily attributable to 91 new product offerings, our enhanced marketing efforts and our customers’ use of the products for the treatment of livestock and poultry diseases that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Revenues- Micro-Organism. Revenues from sales of our micro-organism product line decreased from $1,314,080 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,151,600 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 or a decrease of $162,480. The decrease of $162,480 was a result of the demand for some micro-organism products declining during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
 
37


Revenues- Feed Additives. Revenues from sales of our feed additives product line decreased from $375,260 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $176,627 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 or a decrease of $198,633. The decrease of $176,627 was a result of some products not being produced during the three months ended June 30, 2008 within the feed additive products line due to the significant increase in raw materials prices for those products.
 
Revenues- Vaccines. Revenues from sales of our vaccines product line increased from $166,860 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $215,720 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, or an increase of $48,860. This increase occurred primarily due to customer demand for our vaccine products during the three months ended June 30, 2008. We are operating at full production capacity for our vaccine product line and therefore we do not believe that we can significantly increase sales until we expand our production capabilities.

Cost of Sales. Cost of Sales, which consists of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, was $2,166,484 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,411,291 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our cost of sales consists of four product lines: veterinary medications, micro-organism, feed additives, and vaccines.

Cost of Sales- Veterinary Medications. Cost of sales of our veterinary medications product line increased from $698,430 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,713,460 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for an increase of $1,015,030 or approximately 145%. This increase was a result of an increase in veterinary medications sales. However, the gross margin for veterinary medications declined from approximately 54% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to higher raw materials prices.
 
Cost of Sales- Micro-Organism. Cost of sales of our micro-organism product line decreased from $460,310 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $349,299 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for a decrease of $111,011 or approximately 24%. The decrease was mainly attributable to fewer sales of micro-organism products. However, the gross margin for micro organism products improved from approximately 65% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 70% during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as a result of product sales with better margins and improved manufacturing techniques during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Cost of Sales- Feed Additives. Cost of sales of our feed additives product line decreased from $232,902 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $79,927 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for a decrease of $152,975. The decrease was mainly attributable to fewer sales of feed additive products. However, the gross margin for feed additives improved from approximately 38% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 55% during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as a result of product sales with better margins and improved manufacturing techniques during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Cost of Sales- Vaccines. Cost of sales of our vaccines product line increased from $19,649 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $23,798 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for an increase of $4,149. The increase was a result of a slight increase in sales of our vaccines product line which is presently running at full capacity.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses, which consist of commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges, and salaries totaled $302,843 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $148,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 104%. This increase is primarily attributable to our expanding sales team and activities, which is, in turn, reflected in our increased sales. We believe that our selling expenses will continue to increase as our sales continue to grow.
  
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $648,591 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $506,446 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 28%. General and administrative expenses are primarily legal accounting and other professional fees that we incurred as a U.S. public company. Such professional expenses were higher for the second quarter of 2008 as a result of increased professional fees. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase due to the increasing costs of being a U.S. public company.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries, professional fees, and technical support fees, totaled $119,399 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $75,225 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 59%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased research activities with certain outside experts and institutions with whom we cooperate on research and development of both existing and new products. We anticipate that our research and development costs will continue to increase as we will continue improve existing products and develop new products.
 
Net Income (Loss). We had net loss of $126,065 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net income of $148,311 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 for a decrease of approximately 185%. The decrease in net income is attributable non-operating expenses relating to our convertible debentures that were converted in April 2008 and increased operating expenses relating to professional fees that were partially offset by an increase in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Revenues All of our revenue is derived from the sale of veterinary healthcare and medical care products in the PRC. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had revenues of $7,164,548 as compared to revenues of $4,742,269 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 51%.

Revenues-Veterinary Medications. Revenues from sales of our veterinary medications product line increased from $1,891,259 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $4,604,001 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 or an increase of $2,712,742 or approximately 143%. This increase was responsible for almost all of the growth of overall revenue between the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008. The increase in veterinary medication sales was primarily attributable to 95 new product offerings, our enhanced marketing efforts and our customers’ use of the products for the treatment of livestock and poultry diseases that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Revenues-Micro-Organism. Revenues from sales of our micro-organism product line decreased from $2,033,353 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $1,941,255 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 or a decrease of $92,098. The decrease of $92,098 was a result of a decline in the demand for some micro-organism products during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that were offset by a slight increase in demand for some micro- organism products during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 
Revenues- Feed Additives. Revenues from sales of our feed additives product line decreased from $546,156 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $270,181 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 or a decrease of $275,975. The decrease of $275,975 was a result of some products not being produced during the six months ended June 30, 2008 within the feed additive products line due to the significant increase in raw materials prices of certain feed additive products.

Revenues- Vaccines. Revenues from sales of our vaccines product line increased from $271,501 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $349,111 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 or an increase of $77,610. This increase occurred primarily due to customer demand for our vaccine products during the six months ended June 30, 2008. We are operating at full production capacity for our vaccine product line and therefore cannot significantly increase sales until we expand our production capabilities for our vaccine product line.

Cost of Sales. Cost of Sales, which consists of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, was $3,463,903 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2,108,326 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our cost of sales consists of four product lines: veterinary medications, micro-organism, feed additives, and vaccines.
 
Cost of Sales- Veterinary Medications. Cost of sales of our veterinary medications product line increased from $945,208 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,712,944 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for an increase of $1,767,736 or approximately 187%. This increase was a result of an increase in veterinary medications sales. However, the gross margin for veterinary medications declined from approximately 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to higher raw materials prices for veterinary medications.
 
Cost of Sales- Micro-Organism. Cost of sales of our micro-organism product line decreased from $785,451 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $585,126 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for a decrease of $200,325 or approximately 26%. The decrease was due to fewer sales of micro-organism products. However, the gross margin for micro-organism products improved from approximately 61% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 70% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of product sales with better margins and improved manufacturing techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Cost of Sales- Feed Additives. Cost of sales of our feed additives product line decreased from $346,477 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $126,640 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for a decrease of $219,836. The decrease was a result of fewer sales of feed additive products. However, the gross margin for feed additives improved from approximately 37% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately 53% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of product sales with better margins and improved manufacturing techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
40


Cost of Sales- Vaccines. Cost of sales of our vaccines product line increased from $31,190 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $39,193 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for an increase of $8,002. This slight increase was a result of a slight increase in vaccine product sales which is presently running at full capacity.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses, which consist of commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, freight charges, and salaries totaled $492,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $257,567 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 91%. This increase is primarily attributable to our expanding sales team and activities, which is, in turn, reflected in our increased sales. We believe that our selling expenses will continue to increase as our sales continue to grow.
  
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses totaled $902,326 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1,183,896 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of approximately 24%. General and administrative expenses are primarily legal accounting and other professional fees that we incurred as a U.S. public company. Such professional expenses were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of our private financing transaction that closed during the first quarter of 2007. However, we anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase due to the increasing costs of being a U.S. public company.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries, professional fees, and technical support fees, totaled $166,698 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $106,881 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately 56%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased research activities with certain outside experts and institutions with whom we cooperate on research and development of both existing and new products. We anticipate that our research and development costs will continue to increase as we will continue improve existing products and develop new products.

Net Income. We had net income of $490,286 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net loss of $222,409 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 for an increase of 320%. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in gross margin that was partially offset by an increase in other non-operating expenses relating to our convertible debentures that were converted in April 2008 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity 

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash used in operating activities was $1,520,953 as compared to $263,586 cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash generated from operating activities is primarily attributable to (a) bulk purchases of certain raw materials for anticipated production of both existing and new products in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, (b) increased accounts receivable, and (c) increased prepayments to suppliers to ensure low purchase price of certain raw materials.
 
41


We generated $594,589 from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to expending $700,337 in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was a result of a collection of a loan of $671,364 that was offset by equipment expenditures of $76,775.

From financing activities, we generated $311,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $3,415,242 generated from the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in cash generated from financing activities is mainly attributable to the proceeds from a third party loan further discussed in detail in Note 12 of the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008, we had cash of $183,443. Our total current assets were $11,330,225, and our total current liabilities were $3,654,418, which resulted in a net working capital of $7,675,807. Management believes that we have the ability to meet cash requirements for our operations in order to continue as a going concern, including sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis in the foreseeable future, provided that we can continue to maintain profitable operations and our net working capital remains liquid.

Capital Resources 

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company collected on a loan receivable of $671,364, of which approximately $77,000 was used to purchase plant and equipment. If we were to acquire another business or further expand our operations, we will require additional capital.

On March 9, 2007, we received gross proceeds in the amount of $4.075 million from our closing of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 27, 2007 with certain investors. Of the capital raised, approximately $400,000 have been applied toward the construction of our new plant, approximately $270,000 have been spent on research and development of new products, approximately $680,000 have been applied toward the acquisition of proprietary technology, and the remaining balance used to expand our sales network and as a reserve for our working capital needs.

Exchange Rate


Until July 21, 2005, RMB had been pegged to US$ at the rate of RMB8.30: US$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to US$ was adjusted to RMB8.11: US$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People’s Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as US$ traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, which will become the unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of US$ against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of ± 0.3% around the unified exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of China. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions required submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
 
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements or otherwise stated in this MD&A were as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this registration statement, we do not have any outstanding financial guarantees or commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we reported certain material weaknesses involving control activities, specifically (1) accounting and finance personnel weaknesses, (2) lack of internal audit function and (3) lack of internal audit system. In light of the foregoing, our management has undertaken steps to address these issues, some of which were outlined in our annual report. Specifically, we have retained Mr. Bennet P. Tchaikovsky as our chief financial officer, whom our management believes has the requisite financial reporting experience, skills and knowledge to complement our existing personnel. Additionally, our board of directors recently appointed four independent directors, namely, Mr. Qiang Fan, Dr. Chengtun Qu, Mr. Winston Yen and Dr. Shouguo Zhao. The independent directors are tasked to establish certain internal audit functions within our company, and we have also established audit and compensation committees comprising entirely of independent directors. Mr. Yen, who is a licensed certified public accountant, serves on the audit committee of the board of directors, along with Mr. Fan and Dr. Zhao, and additionally serves as committee chairman and its financial expert. Mr. Fan serves on the compensation committee, along with Mr. Yen and Dr. Zhao, and additionally serves as committee chairman.
 
43


Management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error or all fraud, even as the same are improved to address any deficiencies and/or weaknesses. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
 
Our financial reporting process includes extensive procedures we undertake in order to obtain assurance regarding the reliability of our published financial statements, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control. We expanded our review of accounting for business combinations to help compensate for our material weaknesses in order to provide assurance that the financial statements are free of material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact. As a result, management, to the best of its knowledge, believes that (i) this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omits any material fact and (ii) the financial statements and other financial information included in this report have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present in all material aspects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the remedial actions taken as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following discussion discusses all known or anticipated material legal proceedings commenced by or against us. Occasionally we may be named as a party in claims and legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of our business. These claims and legal proceedings may relate to contractual rights and obligations, employment matters, or to other matters relating to our business and operations.

Other than the matter discussed below, we are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings involving us.

Gregory Evans v. The Cyber Group Network Corp, et al. (District Court, Clark County, State of Nevada, Case No. A513378). In March 2006, Gregory Evans filed suit against us, (under our former name, The Cyber Group Network Corp), R. Scott Cramer, Steve Lowe and David Wassung in State of Nevada District Court in Clark County, Nevada, alleging causes of action for “Refusing to Call Vote of Stockholders” and “Conversion” on or about November 18, 2005. On December 1, 2007, the lawsuit was dismissed following an Order to Show Cause regarding Dismissal. Prior to the dismissal, the Company was never served with a summons or complaint in the matter.

Andrew Chien v. Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company, et. al. (US. District Court, District of Connecticut, Case No. 3:2007cv00781). Andrew Chien filed suit against the Company, R. Scott Cramer, Steve Lowe, David Wassung and Weibing Lu in United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleging causes of action for violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. In or around November 2007, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim and for lack of personal jurisdiction. Mr. Chien agreed to voluntarily amend the complaint after the motions were filed, and an amended complaint was subsequently filed on or around January 4, 2008. The amended complaint dropped Weibing Lu (who is a resident of China and was never served) as a defendant. The remaining defendants contended that the amended complaint failed to correct the deficiencies of the original complaint, and filed a renewed motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, also preserving their challenge to personal jurisdiction. The defendants denied all claims and moved the Court to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety in their motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss also requested that the Court award sanctions against Mr. Chien under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and other authority in the event the defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint is granted. On July 17, 2008, the Court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed the lawsuit.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this offering that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.
 
We have a relatively limited operating history. Xian Tianxing, the variable interest entity through which we operate our business, commenced operations in 1997 and first achieved profitability in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties typically experienced by companies such as ours in evolving industries such as the veterinary healthcare and medical care products industry in China. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:
 
 
·
offer new and innovative products to attract and retain a larger customer base;
 
 
·
attract additional customers and increase spending per customer;
 
 
 
   
·
increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop user and customer loyalty;
 
 
 
   
·
raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business;
 
 
 
 
·
maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;
 
 
 
   
·
respond to changes in our regulatory environment;
 
 
 
 
·
respond to competitive market conditions;
 
 
 
   
·
manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;
 
 
 
 
·
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
 
 
 
   
·
upgrade our technology to support additional research and development of new products.
 
45

 
If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to obtain additional financing we will be unable to execute our business plan.
 
The revenues from the production and sale of veterinary healthcare and medical care products and the projected revenues from these products are not adequate to support our expansion and product development programs. Despite our recent financing and the financing described in this prospectus, we may need additional funds to build our new production facilities; pursue further research and development; obtain regulatory approvals; file, prosecute, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights; and market our products. Should such needs arise, we intend to seek additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing, strategic transactions and/or from other sources.
 
There are no assurances that future funding will be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional funding is not obtained, we will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives or overhead expenditures, to the extent necessary. The failure to fund our capital requirements would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business will be materially and adversely affected if our collaborative partners, licensees and other third parties fail to perform as expected.

Due to the complexity of the process of developing veterinary healthcare and medical care products, we may on occasions depend on arrangements with bio-pharmaceutical institutes, corporate and academic collaborators, licensors, licensees and others for the research, development, clinical testing, technology rights, manufacturing, marketing and commercialization of our products. We are currently collaborating with Shanghai Poultry Verminosis Institution and Shaanxi Microbial Institute to develop products for animal immunization, protein technology and enzyme mechanism, non-pathogenic micro-organisms to cure gastrointestinal tract diseases, and veterinary medicines for pets. However, we do not have any written agreement with Shanghai Poultry Verminosis Institution regarding ongoing collaborations, and under our cooperation agreement with Shaanxi Microbial Institute, the Institute is not obligated to us with respect to any specific period of time or research projects. There are no assurances that we will be able to maintain our present collaborations or establish new ones in the future. We could enter into collaborative arrangements for the development of particular products that may lead to our relinquishing some or all rights to the related technology or products. Moreover, product development and commercialization efforts could be adversely affected if any collaborative partner:
 
 
·
terminates or suspends its agreement or arrangement with us;
 
   
·
causes delays;
 
 
 
   
·
fails to timely develop or manufacture in adequate quantities a substance needed in order to conduct clinical trials;
 
 
 
   
·
fails to adequately perform clinical trials;
 
 
 
   
·
determines not to develop, manufacture or commercialize a product to which it has rights;
 
 
 
 
·
pursue other technologies or develop alternative products that compete with the products we are developing; or 
 
 
 
   
·
otherwise fails to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Our products will be adversely affected if we are unable to protect proprietary rights or operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
 
The profitability of our products will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain protection for our intellectual property rights, such as patents, licenses and trade secrets, and the period our intellectual property remains exclusive. We must also operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties and without third parties circumventing our rights. The proprietary rights of enterprises such as ours are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles are largely unresolved. For example, no consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of biotechnology patent claims that are granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or enforced by the U.S. federal courts. In addition, the scope of the originally claimed subject matter in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued. The biotechnology patent situation outside the U.S. is even more uncertain, is currently undergoing review and revision in many countries, and may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Because patent applications are maintained in secrecy in some cases, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors are the first creators of inventions described in our pending patent applications or patents or the first to file patent applications for such inventions.

Other companies may independently develop similar products and design around any patented or proprietary products we develop. We cannot assure you that:
 
 
·
any of our applications for patent or exclusivity will result in their issuance;
 
 
 
   
·
we will develop additional patentable or proprietary products;
 
 
 
   
·
the patents or exclusive rights we have been issued will provide us with any competitive advantages;
 
 
 
 
·
the patents of others will not impede our ability to do business; or
 
 
 
   
·
third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents or proprietary rights.
 
A number of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, research and academic companies and institutions have developed technologies, filed patent applications or received patents on technologies that may relate to our business. If these technologies, applications or patents conflict with ours, the scope of our current or future patents could be limited or our patent applications could be denied. Our business may be adversely affected if competitors independently develop competing technologies, especially if we do not obtain, or obtain only narrow, patent protection. If patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, we may not be able to obtain licenses at a reasonable cost, or at all; develop our technology; or introduce, manufacture or sell the products we have planned.
 
Patent litigation is becoming widespread in the biotechnology industry. Such litigation may affect our efforts to form collaborations, to conduct research or development, to conduct clinical testing or to manufacture or market any products under development. There are no assurances that our patents would be held valid or enforceable by a court or that a competitor’s technology or product would be found to infringe our patents in the event of patent litigation. Our business could be materially affected by an adverse outcome to such litigation. Similarly, we may need to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent international authorities to determine priority of invention. We could incur substantial costs and devote significant management resources to defend our patent position or to seek a declaration that another company’s patents are invalid.
 
Much of our know-how and technology may not be patentable, though it may constitute trade secrets. There are no assurances that we will be able to meaningfully protect our trade secrets. We cannot assure you that any of our existing confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors or collaborators will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Collaborators, advisors or consultants may dispute the ownership of proprietary rights to our technology, for example by asserting that they developed the technology independently.

Implementation of China’s intellectual property-related laws has historically been lacking, primarily because of ambiguities in China’s laws and difficulties in enforcement. Accordingly, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries.

Difficulties in manufacturing our products could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
 
Before our products can be profitable, they must be produced in commercial quantities in a cost-effective manufacturing process that complies with regulatory requirements, including China’s Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”), production and quality control regulations. If we cannot arrange for or maintain commercial-scale manufacturing on acceptable terms, or if there are delays or difficulties in the manufacturing process, we may not be able to conduct clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval or meet demand for our products.

Failure or delays in obtaining an adequate amount of raw material or other supplies would materially and adversely affect our revenue

While our current products use raw materials that are readily available presently, we cannot give assurance that these raw materials will not become scarce in the future. Additionally, we may produce products in the future that require raw materials which are scarce or which can be obtained only from a limited number of sources. If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of such raw materials, the development, regulatory approval and marketing of our products could be delayed.
 
Our ability to generate more revenue would be adversely affected if we need more clinical trials or take more time to complete our clinical trials than we have planned. 

Clinical trials vary in design by factors including dosage, end points, length, and controls. We may need to conduct a series of trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our products. The results of these trials may not demonstrate safety or efficacy sufficiently for regulatory authorities to approve our products. Further, the actual schedules for our clinical trials could vary dramatically from the forecasted schedules due to factors including changes in trial design, conflicts with the schedules of participating clinicians and clinical institutions, and changes affecting product supplies for clinical trials.
 
We rely on collaborators, including academic institutions, governmental agencies and clinical research organizations, to conduct, supervise, monitor and design some or all aspects of clinical trials involving our products. Since these trials depend on governmental participation and funding, we have less control over their timing and design than trials we sponsor. Delays in or failure to commence or complete any planned clinical trials could delay the ultimate timelines for our product releases. Such delays could reduce investors’ confidence in our ability to develop products, likely causing the price of our common stock to decrease.
 
 
China and other countries impose significant statutory and regulatory obligations upon the manufacture and sale of veterinary healthcare and medical care products. Each regulatory authority typically has a lengthy approval process in which it examines pre-clinical and clinical data and the facilities in which the product is manufactured. Regulatory submissions must meet complex criteria to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ultimate products. Addressing these criteria requires considerable data collection, verification and analysis. We may spend time and money preparing regulatory submissions or applications without assurances as to whether they will be approved on a timely basis or at all.
 
Our product candidates, some of which are currently in the early stages of development, will require significant additional development and pre-clinical and clinical testing prior to their commercialization. These steps and the process of obtaining required approvals and clearances can be costly and time-consuming. If our potential products are not successfully developed, cannot be proven to be safe and effective through clinical trials, or do not receive applicable regulatory approvals and clearances, or if there are delays in the process:

 
·
the commercialization of our products could be adversely affected;
 
 
 
 
·
any competitive advantages of the products could be diminished; and
 
 
 
 
·
revenues or collaborative milestones from the products could be reduced or delayed.
 
Governmental and regulatory authorities may approve a product candidate for fewer indications or narrower circumstances than requested or may condition approval on the performance of post-marketing studies for a product candidate. Even if a product receives regulatory approval and clearance, it may later exhibit adverse side effects that limit or prevent its widespread use or that force us to withdraw the product from the market.
 
48

 
Any marketed product and its manufacturer, including us, will continue to be subject to strict regulation after approval. Results of post-marketing programs may limit or expand the further marketing of products. Unforeseen problems with an approved product or any violation of regulations could result in restrictions on the product, including its withdrawal from the market and possible civil actions.
 
In manufacturing our products we will be required to comply with applicable good manufacturing practices regulations, which include requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance, as well as the maintenance of records and documentation. We cannot comply with regulatory requirements, including applicable good manufacturing practice requirements, we may not be allowed to develop or market the product candidates. If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements at any stage during the regulatory process, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, product recalls or seizures, injunctions, refusal of regulatory agencies to review pending market approval applications or supplements to approve applications, total or partial suspension of production, civil penalties, withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications and criminal prosecution.
 
Competitors may develop and market veterinary healthcare and medical care products that are less expensive, more effective or safer, making our products obsolete or uncompetitive.
 
We have three major competitors in China: Jielin Bio-Tech Production Co., Ltd., Qilu Animal Health Production Co., Ltd., and Zhongmu Industrial Joint Stock Co., Ltd. These companies and other potential competitors have greater product development capabilities and financial, scientific, marketing and human resources than we do. Technological competition from biopharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies is intense and is expected to increase. Other companies have developed technologies that could be the basis for competitive products. Some of these products have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the desired curative effect than products we are developing. Alternative products may be developed that are more effective, work faster and are less costly than our products. Competitors may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining approvals and clearances for such products more rapidly than us, or developing products that are more effective than ours. In addition, other forms of treatment may be competitive with our products. Over time, our technology or products may become obsolete or uncompetitive.
 
Our revenue will be materially and adversely affected if our products are unable to gain market acceptance.
 
Our products may not gain market acceptance in the agricultural community. The degree of market acceptance of any product depends on a number of factors, including establishment and demonstration of clinical efficacy and safety, cost-effectiveness, clinical advantages over alternative products, and marketing and distribution support for the products. Limited information regarding these factors is available in connection with our products or products that may compete with ours.
 
To directly market and distribute our products, we or our collaborators require a marketing and sales force with appropriate technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities. We may not be able to further establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into arrangements with third parties on acceptable terms. If we or our partners cannot successfully market and sell our products, our ability to generate revenue will be limited.
 
Our operations and the use of our products could subject us to damages relating to injuries or accidental contamination and thus reduce our earnings or increase our losses.
 
Our research and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. We are subject to national, provincial and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and waste products. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from handling and disposing of such materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident involving hazardous materials, we could be held liable for resulting damages. We are not insured with respect to this liability. Such liability could exceed our resources. In the future we could incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
 
49

 
If we are sued for product liability, we could face substantial liabilities that may exceed our resources.
 
We may be held liable if any product we develop, or any product which is made using our technologies, causes injury or is found unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale or use. These risks are inherent in the development of agricultural and bio-pharmaceutical products. We currently do not have product liability insurance. If we cannot obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, the commercialization of products that we develop may be prevented or inhibited. If we are sued for any injury caused by our products, our liability could exceed our total assets, whether or not we are successful.

We have no business liability or disruption insurance coverage and therefore we are susceptible to catastrophic or other events that may disrupt our business.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.

We will be unsuccessful if we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel.
 
We depend on a core management and scientific team. The loss of any of these individuals could prevent us from achieving our business objective of commercializing our product candidates. Our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract and retain other highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing and government regulation. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. If our recruitment and retention efforts are unsuccessful, our business operations could suffer.
 
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
 
Chinese laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we could be subject to sanctions. In addition, changes in such Chinese laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of Chinese laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with our affiliated Chinese entity, Xian Tianxing, and its stockholders. We are considered a foreign person or foreign invested enterprise under Chinese law. As a result, we are subject to Chinese law limitations on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
 
The Chinese government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new Chinese laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future Chinese laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may be adversely affected by complexity, uncertainties and changes in Chinese regulation of bio-pharmaceutical business and companies, including limitations on our ability to own key assets.
 
The Chinese government regulates the bio-pharmaceutical industry including foreign ownership of, and the licensing and permit requirements pertaining to, companies in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. These laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be a violation of applicable laws and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to Chinese government regulation of the bio-pharmaceutical industry include the following:

 
·
we only have contractual control over Xian Tianxing. We do not own it due to the restriction of foreign investment in Chinese businesses; and

 
 
·
uncertainties relating to the regulation of the bio-pharmaceutical business in China, including evolving licensing practices, means that permits, licenses or operations at our company may be subject to challenge. This may disrupt our business, or subject us to sanctions, requirements to increase capital or other conditions or enforcement, or compromise enforceability of related contractual arrangements, or have other harmful effects on us.
 
50

 
The interpretation and application of existing Chinese laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies have created substantial uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments in, and the businesses and activities of, bio-pharmaceutical businesses in China, including our business.
 
In order to comply with Chinese laws limiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies, we conduct our bio-pharmaceutical business through Xian Tianxing by means of contractual arrangements. If the Chinese government determines that these contractual arrangements do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected.
 
The Chinese government restricts foreign investment in bio-pharmaceutical businesses in China. Accordingly, we operate our business in China through Xian Tianxing, a Chinese joint stock company. Xian Tianxing holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate our business in China. We have contractual arrangements with Xian Tianxing and its stockholders that allow us to substantially control Xian Tianxing. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to enforce these contracts.
 
Although we believe we comply with current Chinese regulations, and have been advised by our PRC counsel that in their opinion, the structure for operating our business in China (including our corporate structure and contractual arrangements with Xian Tianxing) complies with all applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, and does not violate, breach, contravene or otherwise conflict with any applicable PRC laws, rules or regulations, we cannot assure you that the Chinese government would agree that these operating arrangements comply with Chinese licensing, registration or other regulatory requirements, with existing policies or with requirements or policies that may be adopted in the future. If the Chinese government determines that we do not comply with applicable law, it could revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business.
 
Our contractual arrangements with Xian Tianxing and its stockholders may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership.
 
Since Chinese law limits foreign equity ownership in bio-pharmaceutical companies in China, we operate our business through Xian Tianxing. We have no equity ownership interest in Xian Tianxing and rely on contractual arrangements to control and operate such businesses. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over Xian Tianxing as direct ownership. For example, Xian Tianxing could fail to take actions required for our business despite its contractual obligation to do so. If Xian Tianxing fails to perform under their agreements with us, we may have to rely on legal remedies under Chinese law, which may not be effective. In addition, we cannot assure you that either of Xian Tianxing’s stockholders will act in our best interests.

Because we rely on the consulting services agreement with Xian Tianxing for our revenue, the termination of this agreement will severely and detrimentally affect our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure.

We are a holding company and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than the contractual arrangements between Sida and Xian Tianxing. As a result, we currently rely entirely for our revenues on dividends payments from Sida after it receives payments from Xian Tianxing pursuant to the consulting services agreement which forms a part of the contractual arrangements between Sida and Xian Tianxing. The consulting services agreement may be terminated by written notice of Sida or Xian Tianxing in the event that: (a) one party causes a material breach of the agreement, provided that if the breach does not relate to a financial obligation of the breaching party, that party may attempt to remedy the breach within 14 days following the receipt of the written notice; (b) one party becomes bankrupt, insolvent, is the subject of proceedings or arrangements for liquidation or dissolution, ceases to carry on business, or becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due; (c) Sida terminates its operations; (d) Xian Tianxing’s business license or any other license or approval for its business operations is terminated, cancelled or revoked; or (e) circumstances arise which would materially and adversely affect the performance or the objectives of the agreement. Additionally, Sida may terminate the consulting services agreement without cause. Because neither we nor our direct and indirect subsidiaries own equity interests of Xian Tianxing, the termination of the consulting services agreement would sever our ability to continue receiving payments from Xian Tianxing under our current holding company structure. While we are currently not aware of any event or reason that may cause the consulting services agreement to terminate, we cannot assure you that such an event or reason will not occur in the future. In the event that the consulting services agreement is terminated, this may have a severe and detrimental effect on our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure, which in turn may affect the value of your investment.
 
51


Members of Xian Tianxing’s management have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may adversely affect our business and your ability for recourse.
 
Weibing Lu, our Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Xian Tianxing. Mr. Wei Wen, who is Xian Tianxing’s Vice-General Manager and Director, is also a member of Skystar’s board of directors. Conflicts of interests between their respective duties to our company and Xian Tianxing may arise. As our directors and executive officer (in the case of Mr. Lu), they have a duty of loyalty and care to us under U.S. and Cayman Islands law when there are any potential conflicts of interests between our company and Xian Tianxing. We cannot assure you, however, that when conflicts of interest arise, every one of them will act completely in our interests or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in our favor. For example, they may determine that it is in Xian Tianxing’s interests to sever the contractual arrangements with Sida, irrespective of the effect such action may have on us. In addition, any one of them could violate his or her legal duties by diverting business opportunities from us to others, thereby affecting the amount of payment Xian Tianxing is obligated to remit to us under the consulting services agreement.

After our recent appointment of four independent directors (including two based in the United States), our board of directors is now comprised of a majority of independent directors, which we are required to have in order to list our securities on AMEX. These independent directors may be in a position to deter and counteract the actions of our officers or non-independent directors that are against our interests, as the independent directors do not have any position with, or interests in, our affiliate entities, and should therefore not have any conflicts of interests such as those potentially of our officers and directors who are management members of Xian Tianxing. Additionally, the independent directors have fiduciary duties to act in our best interests, and failure on their part to do so may subject them to personal liabilities for breach of such duties. We cannot, however, give any assurance as to how the independent directors will act. Further, if we or the independent directors cannot resolve any conflicts of interest between us and those of our officers and directors who are management members of Xian Tianxing, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in the disruption of our business.
 
In the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise as a result of any one of the circumstances described above, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Xian Tianxing or our officers or directors who are members of its management, all of whom reside within China. Even if you are successful in bringing an action, the laws of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against the assets of Xian Tianxing and its management, all of which are located in China.
 
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
 
Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the Chinese government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business.

Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. Since early 2004, the Chinese government has implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. Such measures may cause a decrease in the level of economic activity in China, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
52

 
If Chinese law were to phase out the preferential tax benefits currently being extended to foreign invested enterprises and “new or high-technology enterprises” located in a high-tech zone, we would have to pay more taxes, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Under Chinese laws and regulations, a foreign invested enterprise may enjoy preferential tax benefits if it is registered in a high-tech zone and also qualifies as “new or high-technology enterprise”. As a foreign invested enterprise as well as a certified “new or high-technology enterprise” located in a high-tech zone in Xian, the Company has been approved as a new technology enterprise and under Chinese Income Tax Laws, it is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15%. If the Chinese law were to phase out preferential tax benefits currently granted to “new or high-technology enterprises” and technology consulting services, we would be subject to the standard statutory tax rate, which currently is 25%, and we would be unable to obtain business tax refunds for our provision of technology consulting services. Loss of these preferential tax treatments could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Xian Tianxing is subject to restrictions on making payments to us.
 
We are a holding company incorporated in Nevada and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our indirect investments in our affiliated entity in China, Xian Tianxing. As a result of our holding company structure, we rely entirely on payments from Xian Tianxing under our contractual arrangements. The Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion of the Chinese currency, Renminbi (RMB), into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. See “Government control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.” Furthermore, if our affiliated entity in China incurs debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to make payments. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our ordinary shares.
 
Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system could adversely affect us.
 
We conduct our business primarily through our affiliated Chinese entity, Xian Tianxing. Our operations in China are governed by Chinese laws and regulations. We are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
 
Since 1979, Chinese legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the Chinese legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
 
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us or our management.
 
We are a holding company and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than the contractual arrangements between Sida and Xian Tianxing. In addition, all of Xian Tianxing’s assets are located in, and all of our senior executive officers reside within, China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers and directors not residing in the United States, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our Chinese counsel has advised us that China does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts. As a result, our public shareholders may have substantial difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management or directors than would shareholders of a corporation with assets and management members located in the United States.
 
53

 
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
 
The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current structure, our income is primarily derived from payments from Xian Tianxing. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries and our affiliated entity to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing Chinese foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from China State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The Chinese government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our stockholders.

Fluctuation in the value of RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
 
The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Our revenues and costs are mostly denominated in RMB, while a significant portion of our financial assets are denominated in U.S. dollars. We rely entirely on fees paid to us by our affiliated entity in China. Any significant fluctuation in the value of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would make any new RMB denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for such purposes. An appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our U.S. dollar denominated financial assets into RMB, as RMB is our reporting currency.
 
We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks.
 
Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of an epidemic outbreak, such as the SARS epidemic in April 2004. Any prolonged recurrence of such adverse public health developments in China may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other government regulations adopted in response may require temporary closure of our production facilities or of our offices. Such closures would severely disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to combat any future outbreak of SARS or any other epidemic.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

The full exercise of certain outstanding warrants could result in the substantial dilution of the company in terms of a particular percentage ownership in the company as well as the book value of the common shares. The sale of a large amount of common shares received upon exercise of the warrants on the public market to finance the exercise price or to pay associated income taxes, or the perception that such sales could occur, could substantially depress the prevailing market prices for our shares.

The exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants may be less than the current market price for our common shares at $1.10 per share. Specifically, there are 570,500 warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and 975,000 warrants have an exercise price of $1.20 per share for a total of 1,545,500 warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $1.13 per share. In the event of exercise of these securities, a stockholder could suffer substantial dilution of his, her or its investment in terms of the percentage ownership in us as well as the book value of the common shares held. Full exercise of the warrants would increase the outstanding common shares as of July 31, 2008 by approximately 8% to approximately 20,184,603 shares.
 
54


To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends are expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We intend to retain all earnings for our operations.
 
The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

The trading price of our common stock is currently below $5 per share. As such, the open-market trading of our common shares is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.
 
Our common shares are thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you desire to liquidate your shares.

We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for its common stock will develop or be sustained. We intend to apply for listing on the American Stock Exchange, but cannot assure you that this listing or listing on any other exchange will ever occur.
 
Our common shares have historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” and lack of current revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
 
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our fluctuating level of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our current and potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes; the termination of our contractual agreements with Xian Tianxing; and additions or departures of our key personnel, as well as other items discussed under this “Risk Factors” section, as well as elsewhere in this registration statement. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Stockholders should be aware that the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.
 
Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal stockholders and affiliated entities.
 
As of July 31, 2008, our principal stockholders and their affiliated entities owned approximately 31% of our outstanding common shares, representing approximately 31% of our voting power. These stockholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these stockholders and their affiliated entities. While all of our stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities. As such, it would be difficult for stockholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management. There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as stockholders will be viewed favorably by all stockholders of the company.
 
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we are obligated to indemnify our directors and officers for monetary damages to our company and our stockholders to the extent provided by Nevada law. We also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and stockholders.

Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other similar rule changes are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. While we currently do not maintain any insurance policies, we may obtain insurance coverage of our business and our directors and officers in the future. Should we do so we expect that premiums for insurance policies may be considerable in light of the high claims rates in recent years. Additionally, there could be changes in certain accounting rules. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

Past company activities prior to the reverse merger may lead to future liability for the company.

Prior to our entry into the contractual arrangements with Xian Tianxing on October 28, 2005, we engaged in businesses unrelated to its current operations. Although the prior business owners provided certain indemnifications against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based on any breach of or inaccuracy in any of their representations and warranties made regarding such acquisition, any liabilities relating to such prior business against which Skystar is not completely indemnified may have a material adverse effect on Skystar.
 
The market price for our stock may be volatile.
 
The market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

 
·
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
 
 
 
 
·
changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
 
 
·
conditions in veterinary healthcare and medical care and agricultural markets;
 
 
 
 
·
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other veterinary healthcare and medical care products companies;
 
 
·
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
 
 
 
·
addition or departure of key personnel;
 
 
 
 
·
fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. dollar;
 
 
 
 
·
intellectual property litigation; and
 
 
 
 
·
general economic or political conditions in China.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
 
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and the net proceeds from our recent financing will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.
 
We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, beginning with our annual report for fiscal 2008, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. As reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we reported certain material weaknesses involving control activities, specifically (1) accounting and finance personnel weaknesses in that the current staff in the accounting department is relatively inexperienced and requires substantial training; (2) lack of internal audit function in that we lack qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly, and the scope and effectiveness of internal audit function are yet been fully developed; and (3) lack of internal audit system in that we do not have an internal audit department to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas in accordance with the appropriate costing method used by us.
 
In light of the foregoing, our management began to undertake steps to address these issues, including the engagement of a new chief financial officer whom management believes has the requisite financial reporting experience, skills and knowledge to complement our existing personnel. Additionally, we have recently appointed four independent directors to our board of directors, including a member who is appropriately credentialed as a financial expert. The independent directors will be tasked to establish certain internal audit functions within our company, and we have also established audit and compensation committees comprising entirely of independent directors. However, there is no assurance that additional remedial measures will not be necessary, or that after the remediation our management will be able to conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us.
 
Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

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, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement (which disappears after one year). Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Of the approximately 18.64 million shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2008, approximately 2.82 million shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our "affiliates", as of July 31, 2008. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

The improper issuance of our series “A” preferred stock may subject us to certain claim by the holder of series “A” preferred shares as well as indemnification obligations to the directors who authorized the issuance.
 
In 2001, our then board of directors authorized and caused the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of series “A” preferred stock to a corporation wholly-owned by our then Chief Executive Officer and director, Gregory Evans, for services rendered by him. The resolutions of the board of directors approving such issuance stated that the series “A” preferred shares carries a “super voting power of five”. Neither Mr. Evans nor any other member of management at such time filed a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Because no certificate of designation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State prior to the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of our series “A” preferred stock, these shares do not have terms and are deemed invalidly issued under Nevada corporate law. Moreover, such invalidity is not correctable under applicable Nevada law by a subsequent filing of a certificate of designation should we choose to do so now, which we do not have any intention of doing. As such, we do not believe that the holder of these series “A” preferred shares can successfully assert a right to obtain ownership interest in our Company, substantial or otherwise.

Nevertheless, the holder of these shares may potentially assert claims against us and the directors who authorized the issuance. One such claim may be for breach of oral or written contract. Since the Nevada statute of limitations is six years for breach of a written contract and four years for breach of an oral contract, however, any such claim may be time-barred. Even assuming that such claim is not time-barred, we may have the affirmative defense of laches in that the delay of prosecution of such claim unfairly and materially prejudices our interests, especially considering the changes in control of our Company since the issuance of the series “A” preferred shares. Additionally, as Mr. Evans was also a principal of the Company at the time of issuance, a claim for breach of contract may be defective for inadequate or lack of consideration. Another claim may be for fraud based on an assertion that Mr. Evans was induced to provide services on any purported representation of the then board of directors in exchange for the series “A” preferred shares, which has a three-year statute of limitations in Nevada. Thus, such claim may also be time-barred. Moreover, given Mr. Evan’s roles with the Company at the time these shares were issued, the element of reliance on his part may be difficult to justify. While we may have colorable affirmative defenses against these claims, we cannot assure you that we would ultimately prevail in any lawsuit. Should Mr. Evans prevail on any claim, we may be subject to restitution or other forms of monetary damages, which amount is difficult to determine but may take into consideration the then and current fair market value of the series “A” preferred shares. Additionally, although the directors who authorized the issuance of the series “A” preferred shares are no longer members of our board of directors, we may nevertheless be obligated, should such claim arises, to indemnify and defend these directors, provided we have no such obligation if the actions of these directors, in authorizing the issuance of the series “A” preferred shares, are determined to have arisen out of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Reference is made to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 23, 2008.


Additionally, on February 29, 2008, our Board approved the issuance of  210,400 shares of our restricted common stock to our legal counsel which were issued on April 21, 2008. These restricted common shares were issued to the legal counsel as partial payment for services rendered.
