Description of the Business

Henan Zhongpin Food Share Co., Ltd. (“HZP” or “Henan Zhongpin”)

     Corporate Organization

     We are a holding company and conduct operations through indirect subsidiary, Henan Zhongpin Food Share Co., Ltd., a company established in the People’s Republic of China. To enable Henan Zhongpin Food Co. to raise equity capital from investors outside of China, it established a holding company by incorporating Falcon

2


Link Investment Limited, in the British Virgin Islands on July 21, 2005. On September 15, 2005, the BVI company acquired all of the equity interests in Henan Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd., which is the controlling shareholder of HZP. In order to company with regulations under Chinese law regarding the use of the word “Share” in HZP’s corporate name, Henan Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd. was incorporated as wholly-owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”). HZP’s management believes that a significant amount of name recognition and goodwill exists with respect to the full corporate name so the WOFE was formed so that HZP could continue in the operating use of its corporate name following the Exchange.

     On January 30, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Falcon in exchange for the issuance by us of 397,676,704 restricted shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Falcon. As a result of that transaction, Falcon became our wholly owned subsidiary.

Below is our corporate organizational chart.


     History and Development of HZP

     HZP is the operating company and primarily conducts our production, marketing, finance, research and development, and administrative activities. It currently has two directly controlling-majority-owned subsidiaries, Henan Zhongpin Industry Co., Ltd. and Henan Zhongpin Imports and Exports Trade Co., Ltd.

     Following the Exchange, the business and operations of HZP will constitute our operating business. HZP’s main office is located in Changge City, Henan Province of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and was founded in 1993 under the laws of the PRC to be principally engaged in the meat and food processing business in the PRC. More recently, HZP has begun the production and sale of vegetables and has embarked on the building of a retail operation. In 1993, HZP was established as a state-owned meat processing factory from a spin off of a larger state-owned enterprise. In 1997 the current management team purchased the business via a privatization scheme and restructured the enterprise as a privately held entity with six shareholders. The Company’s major operations are centrally located in China. Some key events in the history of HZP include:

  • 1993 – Spin off from a state-owned enterprise as a meat processing factory, Changge Meat Factory

  • 1997 – Current management team acquired ownership and transformed it to a privately held company and changed its name to Changge Zhongpin Food Industry Co., Ltd.

3


  • 2000 – Name changed to Henan Zhongpin Food Share Co., Ltd;

  • 2001 – Purchased Yanling Yalin Meat Factory and established a share-holding subsidiary company, Henan Zhongpin Industry Co., Ltd.

  • 2004 – Established a subsidiary company, Henan Zhongpin Imports and Exports Trade Co., Ltd., to handle international business
    The map below shows the location of HZP’s main business offices and distribution centers.

     HZP is one of the top 151 national agricultural industrial enterprises in the PRC and is ranked eighth overall, in terms of revenue, in the national meat industry. (Source: Ministry of Agriculture of the PRC; China Meat Association (“CMA”)) HZP possesses state of the art equipment in its abattoirs and processing facilities. During the past five years HZP’s growth rate has exceeded 35% per year in terms of both revenues and net profits. HZP’s current annual processing capacity is approximately 88,200 tons (80,000 metric tons) of chilled fresh meat, 33,075 tons (30,000 metric tons) of frozen vegetables and 22,050 tons (20,000 metric tons) of prepared food. HZP has established distribution networks in more than 20 provinces in the North, East, South and South Midland of China. HZP has also formed strategic partnerships with leading supermarket chains and the catering industry in China. HZP is currently exporting products to the European Union, Southeast Asia and Russia.

     Business

     Henan Zhongpin has worked to establish a vertically integrated fresh meat and meat products supply chain from farming, slaughtering, cutting, processing and wholesaling to retailing through an exclusive network of showcase stores, network stores and supermarket counters which sell the Company’s products on an exclusive basis.

     HZP is principally engaged in the following business activities:

  • Production of pork, pig by-products and variety meat;
  • Production of processed meat products;
  • Production of vegetables;
  • Distribution of pork, processed meat products and vegetables; and
  • Retail sales of pork, processed meat products, vegetables and one-stop-shop convenient grocery items.

Industry Overview

     The Meat Industry in China

     The market for pork in China is the largest in the world, accounting for more than 50% of global production and consumption. In value terms, China’s overall meat industry is the second largest sector in the country’s entire retail food market basket. The vast majority of meat sales in the PRC continue to take place in free wet markets, most of which are to be found in open-air markets or on streets. These markets provide a venue through which the customer can buy live poultry or freshly slaughtered meat produce direct from local farmers.

     The meat industry in China is characterized by fragmentation, sanitation and hygiene issues, as well as social demographic trends. The meat industry is highly fragmented, where supply is extremely localized with limited distribution capability. China’s vast geography and under-developed transport infrastructure have made it impossible to create national or even regional level competition in the industry and thus, there are no genuine market leaders.

     The meat sector (fresh, frozen and processed) currently makes up 13.23% of the total value of China’s retail food market basket, a proportion that has remained relatively constant. The total retail

5


value of China’s fresh meat sector was approximately RMB313.33 billion (US$37.86 billion) in 2004. The fresh meat sector continues to dominate the total meat and meat products market, which registered a value of RMB334.96 billion (US$40.47 billion) in 2004. Social and demographic trends have dictated a switching of consumer preference from processed meat in the earlier decades to a growing demand for frozen and fresh/chilled meat.

           Factors which instituted this structural change include:

  • Increasing demand and ownership in China of household appliances, especially refrigerators and microwave ovens. By the early 1990’s, the penetration rate for household ownership of refrigerators was close to 100% in many major cities, depending on the economic prosperity of the region.

  • Improvements in hygiene, sanitation, as well as the establishment of the cold chain infrastructure have elongated the wholesale and retail process. The cold chain infrastructure refers to the complex network of processes and services used to transport and preserve edible products in a controlled temperature environment. Modern preparation and storage methods have resulted in longer life cycles for frozen and fresh/chilled meat products. Superior taste and nutrition, aided by the cold chain infrastructure have allowed fresh/chilled and frozen meat products to become preferences for today’s consumers in the PRC, at the expense of highly processed meat products.

  • Increases in per capital income as well as a proportionate share of such increase spent on food. In China, roughly a third of every new dollar of income is spent on food, and meat is a major target for much of the new spending.

  • China’s new middle class, defined as those with annual incomes of at least 40,000 RMB (US$5,000), numbered approximately 60 million people in 2002 and is expected to climb sharply to 160 million by 2010.

     The Retail Meat Market

     Total volume sales of fresh and processed meat and meat products in China increased to 25.69 million tons (23.30 million metric tons), rising by 46.74% from 1998 to 2004. As the market matures, total growth is expected to continue its slowdown, eventually settling at about 5-6% per annum in volume terms. Consumption volumes are likely to increase as more consumers reach a standard of living enabling them to eat meat and meat products at home on a more frequent basis.

     China’s meat and meat products sector now account for 13.23% of the national retail food market basket in terms of value, second only to the vegetable sector. In China, meat was traditionally eaten only when money could allow, or on special occasions. This meant that as recently as 25 years ago, regular meat consumption was out of the reach of some 200million people living under the absolute poverty line. The introduction of economic reforms in the PRC in the late 1970s has allowed the number of citizens living under absolute poverty levels to plummet to less than 50 million individuals. This has enabled more consumers to enjoy meat on a regular basis. In the cities, most consumers can eat meat on a regular basis.

     As a result, not only are more people buying fresh meat itself, but there is also increasing demand for a wider range of processed meat products. The market has quickly evolved to meet this demand, helped by the emergence and spread of efficiently managed grocery and retail chains – notably supermarkets, convenience stores and hypermarkets.

7


     The retail market for fresh and processed meat and meat products in the PRC has grown strongly over the past seven years due, primarily, to the following key factors:

  • Increased consumer spending power, leading to raised consumer aspirations and the ability to make more frequent purchases of fresh and processed meat and meat products, as well as purchases of more expensive products;

  • Rationalization and consolidation of China’s domestic industry has improved industry productivity and profitability, and has raised the level of market supply;

  • Development of more integrated distribution systems and infrastructure throughout China, leading to better distribution around the country, from manufacturer to retailer, and;

  • Increased market penetration of more organized retail outlets with chilled and frozen produce display cabinets which, in turn, has created a larger overall outlet for fresh and processed meat and meat products.

     These combined factors have led not only to raised consumer demand, but also improvements in the ability of meat processors and distributors to get their product to consumers, in fresher condition. The meat processors have also helped by improving the variety of product that they are able to supply.

     HZP’s Products

          Production of Pork, Pig By-Products and Variety Meats

     HZP owns and operates two abattoirs in Changge, Henan Province to carry out the business of slaughtering pigs and the production and sale of chilled and frozen pork products. The abattoirs have cold storage facilities where the meat is kept prior to being transported to our customers. The current production capacity of the two abattoirs is 220.05 tons (200 metric tons) per day with an additional

8


110.25 ton (100 metric ton) daily capacity available to us through contract abattoirs operating within our quality assurance standards.

     HZP procures pigs from local pig farms and breeders located in the vicinity of Changge, Henan Province. All the pigs we purchase for slaughtering in our abattoirs must have all the health certificates issued by the relevant authorities in the PRC to ensure that the pigs have been under strict and consistent supervision during the rearing period and are in good health when they are purchased by HZP. In addition, the pigs slaughtered in HZP’s abattoirs are also subject to inspections by HZP’s own team of certified veterinarians.

     The pork HZP produces and sells comprises both chilled and frozen pork varieties. In the production of chilled pork, immediately after the meat is cut and packaged, it will be kept at a temperature of between 32o F (0oC) and 39.2 oF (4oC), and thereafter maintained at that temperature during storage or transportation, in order to preserve its freshness and quality. In respect of HZP’s frozen pork products, the cut and packaged meat is blast frozen to between –22oF (–30oC) to –40oF (–40oC) and stored for 48 hours, after which it is stored or transported at a temperature between –0.4 oF (–18oC) to –13oF (–25oC).

          HZP’s Pork Products

     The chilled and frozen pork products which HZP produces are sold as various cuts of meat such as the shoulder, the ribs, the loin or the leg. Other parts of the pig such as the head, ears, trotters and internal organs have a ready market in the PRC and are also distributed and sold by HZP.

     The pork products produced by the abattoirs are sold to a wide variety of customers such as meat and food distributors, wholesalers and importers, food and food processing companies and, markets and supermarkets. HZP’s pork products are distributed and sold locally in the domestic market and are also exported.

          Chilled Pork

     In the production of chilled pork at HZP, meat is chilled but not frozen at a temperature of between 32o F (0oC) and 39.2 oF (4oC), immediately after it is cut and packed, and thereafter maintained at that temperature during storage or transportation. This serves to preserve the freshness and quality of the meat. Chilled pork will usually have to be consumed within one week from the time of slaughter.

     Most of the chilled pork produced by HZP is distributed and sold to domestic customers who comprise mainly fresh food distributors and wholesalers, markets and supermarkets located in the cities of Henan Province and nineteen other provinces where our products are sold.

          Frozen Pork

     In the production of HZP’s frozen pork, the meat is frozen at –31oF (–35oC) to –40oF (–40oC) for 48 hours, after which it is stored or transported at a constant temperature of between –0.4 oF (–18oC) to –13oF (–25oC). Generally, frozen pork can be kept for about six months from the time of slaughter. Frozen pork is cheaper relative to chilled pork at the retail level. Food and food processing companies usually require frozen pork in their production of processed meats such as luncheon meat and canned, stewed meat. In the PRC, most of the pork sold in markets, supermarkets and restaurants is frozen. The domestic customers for HZP’s frozen pork include food processing companies and food distributors.

          Prepared Meats

     HZP produces its own brand of prepared meats, such as sausages, hams, Chinese cured hams as well as five categories of quick-freeze prepared meats consisting of more than 100 items.

9


          Pig By-Products & Variety Meats

     Pig heads, ears and trotters and the internal organs such as the kidneys, livers, stomachs and intestines are commonly used in Chinese cuisine and therefore have a ready market. HZP usually sells these by-products and variety meats to domestic customers. These items are also sold to food processing companies to be used as raw materials for other meat and meat-based products.

          Fruits & Vegetables

     HZP contracts with more than 120 farms in Henan Province and nearby areas to produce high quality vegetable varieties and fruits suitable for export purposes. The proximity of the contracted farms to the HZP’s operations is to ensure freshness from harvest to processing. The farms are relatively small, from 24.7 -123.5 acres (10-50 hectares) with the largest being approximately 1358.5 acres (550 hectares). HZP contracts to grow more than twenty categories of vegetables and fruit including asparagus, sweet corn, broccoli, mushrooms, lima beans and strawberries. HZP works closely with Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in China to improve the yield and quality of crops.

     Since 2001, HZP has been contracting farms to produce selected vegetables and fruits. HZP’s technicians are sent out to candidate farms to test soil and water quality and to evaluate local climatic conditions. Vegetables and fruit grown at the candidate farms will are evaluated in HZP’s laboratories. If the quality of the farm products meets HZP’s standards then, a contract will be executed between HZP and the farm. Seeds, fertilizer and pesticide will be provided to the contracted farm. During the growing season, the vegetables or fruit at the contracted farms will be monitored and tested. At harvest, produce is tested and purchased based on product criteria stated in the contract. A total of 72 employees of HZP are members of its agricultural products team, of which eight are in management positions, 54 are technicians and 10 are responsible for administrative duties.

     Research and Development

     In 1999, HZP founded Zhongpin Technology Research and Development Center, a food research institute in Changge City, Henan Province. In 2000, Henan Zhongpin established the its technology center, which has evolved into the technical research center for the entire meat industry in Henan Province. The research center employs twenty-one senior scientists and technicians. The mission of the research center is to develop new processing technologies and food products. In addition, HZP’s product development team works with the China Meat Processing Research Center, the premier research institute for meat processing technology in China, and we have jointly established a research center in Beijing. HZP also works with scientists and researchers from Beijing University, China Agricultural University, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science, Henan Agricultural University and other universities to develop production technologies and innovative meat products. HZP has, under contract, fifty scientists and experts who act as HZP’s outside technical consultants.

     Currently, HZP has more than one hundred new products under development.

     Government Regulation

     The Chinese government is actively promulgating a plan for “safe meat” and is expected to raise the proportion of slaughtering automation to over seventy percent of all meat and actively enforce authorized slaughtering and quarantine. Special grants, subsidized financing, preferential tax policies, governmental funding and other subsidies are provided to enterprises in order to acquire state of the art technology and equipment in meat processing. Such government incentives provide competitive

10


advantages and opportunities to well-performing companies like HZP because such policies work to raise the bar for entering the industry and to eliminate inefficient companies in the industry. We expect such government support for the processing of agricultural products to continue for a number of years in the foreseeable future. Whether HZP can continue to benefit from such government programs in the next few years depends on how the government administers its incentive programs and how well HZP performs. If HZP maintains the current trend in its performance, it is possible that it may obtain further government support through such incentive programs.

     The Tenth Five Year Development Programming of the China Meat Industry, promulgated in 2001, set the following guidelines:

  • Encourage comprehensive improvements in automation of abattoirs in “First-Tier” and “Second- Tier” cities and key provinces to improve the sanitary condition and the safety of meat products consumption. In China, First-Tier cities refer to provincial capitals, municipalities directly under the Central Government (such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing), and municipalities directly linked with the Central Government in taxation (i.e., such cities do not need to send revenues to the provincial government) (such as Shenzhen, Ningbo, Qingdao, Dalian and Xiamen), whereas Second-Tier cities refer to cities with a population above 500,000, not including First-Tier cities.

  • Develop efficient scale production of pork, beef, mutton, poultry and eggs;

  • Develop processed meat and poultry products, with emphasis on chilled fresh meat, packaged meat and ready-to-eat meat products;

  • Encourage consolidation of fragmented producers and distributors to form scale enterprises;

  • Foster quality brands and modern chain distribution networks with emphasis on developing cold storage chains;

  • Support the development of a competitive and quality domestic market; and

  • Develop exports to international markets.

     Marketing and Distribution

     HZP markets the pork products through a sales team and a network of agents in twenty provinces throughout the PRC. The sales team is responsible for securing orders for the HZP’s pork products, maintaining and building relationships with existing customers and for securing new customers. HZP’s sales team is also involved in identifying new markets in line with the existing customer base and HZP’s geographical expansion plans.

11


     HZP’s sales team travels to major cities in the PRC to market and sell the pork products to wholesale markets and selected retail chains in those cities. HZP usually transports pork products by refrigerated trucks. Railroads are used for transporting pork products to those cities that are located at a distance from our operations center in Changge City, Henan Province.

     In addition, the HZP’s sales team travels and markets pork products, vegetables and fruits to potential customers in Europe, Russia, the United States, Hong Kong and selected countries in Asia.

     HZP also sells directly to selected chains and independent resellers. Some of the major selection criteria HZP employs to screen resellers are as follows:

  • Market potential of the reseller’s location;

  • Competitiveness of the local market;

  • Location and coverage;

  • Traffic density and;

  • Credibility of the operator and market development capacity.

     Storage and Transportation of Pork Products

     The pork products from freshly slaughtered pigs at HZP’s abattoirs are blast frozen after slaughtering to prevent deterioration of the meat caused by bacteria or chemical changes. Frozen meat is stored in cold storage facilities at a temperature of between –9.4 oF (–23oC) and –0.4 oF (–18oC) for 24 hours before being transported. Chilled meat is chilled to between 32oF (0oC) and 39.2 oF (4oC) before being transported to customers. The chilled and frozen pork are maintained within the requisite temperature ranges, during subsequent handling, transportation and distribution to retain freshness and to prevent deterioration of the meat.

     Production of Chilled & Frozen Pork Products

     HZP’s veterinarians ensure that only healthy pigs are slaughtered at our abattoirs. HZP maintains all of the required licenses and certificates from the relevant central and local government authorities with regard to our pork production business. HZP was awarded the ISO 9001 certification for its pork production processes by the China Quality Certificate Center for Import and Export Commodities, the government body responsible for ISO certification in the PRC. The ISO 9001 certification indicates that our abattoirs and pork production operations comply with international standards of quality assurance established by the International Organization of Standardization.

     When pigs arrive at the abattoirs, HZP’s certified veterinarians, together with the local Animal Husbandry Department inspectors, conduct a physical inspection of the pigs to ascertain whether they are fit for human consumption. Blood and urine samples are obtained from a random sample of pigs which are tested for disease. The pigs are then weighed and are quarantined for approximately 24 hours during which only water is provided to the pigs.

     After the quarantine period has passed, HZP conducts another physical inspection of the pigs. This physical inspection is conducted jointly with the inspectors from the Animal Husbandry Department. Pigs that are found fit for human consumption will be slaughtered while those found to be deficient are

12


immediately culled. We shower the pigs with water before and after slaughter to clean them. Instruments used for slaughtering and cutting up the carcasses are sterilized several times a day.

     Quality control checks are conducted at all production stages to detect and remove meat that is spoilt or has been infected by bacteria. The appearance of the skin, internal organs and the meat itself are subject to physical observation and laboratory testing to see if the pig is diseased.

     Every pig that is slaughtered in the abattoirs is assigned a serial number so that a trace can be run on any processed pig. All of these quality control checks are conducted by our veterinarians and quality control staff.

     A high level of hygiene is maintained at the HZP’s abattoirs. Anyone, including staff and visitors, who enter the abattoirs must first put on protective clothing and be sterilized with disinfectant. All packaging materials used for meat must also be sterilized.

     Quality Control System

     HZP was awarded ISO 9001 certification that covers its production, research and development and sales activities. All of HZP’s production lines have passed HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and SSOP (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedure in China). In addition the Company has received U.S. FDA registration as well as EU certification.

     A total of seventy employees work in HZP’s quality assurance program. They consist of nine quality control engineers and 61 staff. The quality control laboratory meets and exceeds all standards set by the authorities and relevant agencies in the PRC.

     Competition

      The market for pork products is fragmented in the PRC. There are no genuine national market leaders in the industry. At the current time the largest companies in the industry that are known to HZP are as follows:

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider, among other potential risks, the following risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to in this Report before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.

Risks Relating To Our Business

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.

      We have a limited operating history. While HZP was established as a state-owned meat processing factory in 1993, the current management team purchased the business via a privatization scheme and commenced a restructuring of the enterprise in 1997. HZP commenced its retail operations in only 2000, and was profitable by 2003. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in evolving markets such as the growing market for fresh meats and processed meat products in China. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

  • offer additional food products to attract and retain a larger customer base;

  • attract additional customers and increased spending per customer;

  • increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop customer loyalty;

  • respond to competitive market conditions;

  • respond to changes in our regulatory environment;

  • manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;

  • maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;

  • raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business;

  • attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

  • upgrade our technology to support additional research and development of new food products.

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

16


If there are any interruptions to or decline in the amount or quality of our live pigs, raw pork or other major raw material supply, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

     Live pigs and raw pork are the principal raw materials used in our production. We procure all of our live pigs and some of our raw pork from a number of third party suppliers. Our third party suppliers may not continue to be able to supply an adequate number of live pigs and raw pork to satisfy our present and future production needs. The supply of pork is dependent on the output of pig farms, which may be affected by outbreaks of diseases or epidemics. Our current suppliers may not be able to provide live pigs or raw pork of sufficient quality to meet our stringent quality control requirements. Any interruptions to or decline in the amount or quality of our live pigs or raw pork supply could materially disrupt our production and adversely affect our business. In addition to live pigs and raw pork, we also use additives and packaging in our production, which we source from third party suppliers, and resell a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, which we purchase from third party farms. Any interruptions to or decline in the amount or quality of our additives or packaging supply, or in the fruits or vegetables we procure, could also disrupt our production or sales and adversely affect our business.

We are vulnerable to further increases in the price of raw materials (particularly of live pigs and raw pork) and other operating costs, and we may not be able to entirely offset these increasing costs by increasing the prices of our products, particularly our processed meat products.

     We purchase agricultural products, such as live pigs, raw pork and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, for use in our production process and for resale. The price of such raw materials is subject to fluctuations that are attributable to a number of factors, such as the price of animal feed, diseases and infections, and weather conditions. During 2004, prices of live pigs rose sharply. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of China, the average selling price of live pigs rose by approximately 35.6% from 2003 to 2004. If the costs of raw materials or other costs of production and distribution of our products increase further, and we are unable to entirely offset these increases by raising prices of our products, our profit margins and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to anticipate changes in consumer preferences for processed meat products, which may result in decreased demand for our products.

     Our continued success in the processed meat products market is in large part dependent on our ability to anticipate and develop products that appeal to the changing tastes, dietary habits and preferences of customers. If we are not able to anticipate and identify new consumer trends and develop new products accordingly, demand for our products may decline and our operating results may be adversely affected. In addition, we may incur significant costs relating to developing and marketing new products or expanding our existing product lines in reaction to what we perceive to be a consumer preference or demand. Such development or marketing may not result in the level of market acceptance, volume of sales or profitability anticipated.

If the chilled and frozen pork market in China does not grow as we expect, our results of operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected.

     We believe chilled and frozen pork products have strong growth potential in China and, accordingly, we have continuously increased our sales of chilled and frozen pork. Since 2002, revenue attributable to our chilled and frozen pork products as a percentage of our total revenue has increased. If the chilled and frozen pork market in China does not grow as we expect, our business may be harmed, we may need to adjust our growth strategy and our results of operation may be adversely affected.

17


We require various licenses and permits to operate our business, and the loss of or failure to renew any or all of these licenses and permits could materially adversely affect our business.

     In accordance with PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various licenses and permits in order to operate our business, including, without limitation, a slaughtering permit in respect of each of our chilled and frozen pork production facilities and a permit for production of industrial products in respect of each of our processed meat production facilities. We are required to comply with applicable hygiene and food safety standards in relation to our production processes. Our premises and transportation vehicles are subject to regular inspections by the regulatory authorities for compliance with applicable regulations. Failure to pass these inspections, or the loss of or failure to renew our licenses and permits, could require us to temporarily or permanently suspend some or all of our production or distribution operations, which could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.

Our ability to export may be restricted if we cannot maintain current licenses or obtain additional licenses in other countries and regions.

     For the three years ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 revenue attributable to our export business as a percentage of our total revenue was approximately __%, __%, 11.5% and 12%, respectively. We must maintain certain licenses from applicable foreign governments in order to continue to export to those jurisdictions. In addition, we must apply for licenses from applicable foreign governments should we desire to export our products to countries with which we currently do not have business relations. We cannot assure you that we can maintain our current licenses for export or obtain licenses to export to countries with which we do not currently have business relations. The loss of any licenses or the inability to obtain new licenses to export may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We are highly dependent on senior management and key research and development personnel.

     We are highly dependent on our senior management to manage our business and operations and our key research and development personnel for the development of new processing technologies and food products and the enhancement of our existing products. In particular, we rely substantially on our chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Xianfu Zhu, to manage our operations. We also depend on our key research personnel. In addition, we also rely on information technology and logistics personnel for the production, storage and shipment of our products and on marketing and sales personnel, engineers and other personnel with technical and industry knowledge to transport, market and sell our products. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our senior management or key personnel. The loss of any one of them, in particular Mr. Zhu, would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Competition for senior management and research and development personnel is intense and the pool of suitable candidates is limited. We may be unable to locate a suitable replacement for any senior management or key research and development personnel that we lose. In addition, if any member of our senior management or key research and development personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, they may compete with us for customers, business partners and other key professionals and staff members of our company. Although each of our senior management and key research and development personnel has signed a confidentiality and non-competition agreement in connection with his employment with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully enforce these provisions in the event of a dispute between us and any member of our senior management or key research and development personnel.

     We compete for qualified personnel with other food processing companies, food retailers logistics companies and research institutions. Intense competition for these personnel could cause our

18


compensation costs to increase significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our future success and ability to grow our business will depend in part on the continued service of these individuals and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, we may be unable to meet our business and financial goals.

Our growth strategy may prove to be disruptive and divert management resources.

     Our growth strategy may involve large transactions and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management attention from existing businesses, difficulty with integrating personnel and financial and other systems, increased expenses, including compensation expenses resulting from newly-hired employees, assumption of unknown liabilities and potential disputes. We could also experience financial or other setbacks if any of our growth strategies incur problems of which we are not presently aware.

We may require additional financing in the future.

     We may need to obtain additional debt or equity to fund future capital expenditures. Additional equity may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock. Additional debt financing may include conditions that would restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions that:

  • limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;

  • increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

  • require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and

  • limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

Our operations are cash intensive and our business could be adversely affected if we fail to maintain sufficient levels of working capital.

     We expend a significant amount of cash in our operations, principally to fund our raw material procurement. Our suppliers, in particular, suppliers of pigs, typically require payment in full within seven days after delivery, although some of our suppliers provide us with credit. In turn, we typically require our customers of chilled and frozen pork to make payment in full on delivery, although we offer some of our long-standing customers credit terms. We generally fund most of our working capital requirements out of cashflow generated from operations. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues from our sales, or if we experience difficulties collecting our accounts receivables, we may not have sufficient cashflow to fund our operating costs and our business could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to maintain our profitability in the face of a consolidating retail environment in China.

19


     We sell substantial amounts of our products to supermarkets and large retailers. The supermarket and food retail industry in China has been, and is expected to continue, undergoing a trend of development and consolidation. As the food retail trade continues to consolidate and our retail customers grow larger and become more sophisticated, they may demand lower pricing and increased promotional programs. Furthermore, larger customers may be better able to operate on reduced inventories and potentially develop or increase their focus on private label products. If we fail to maintain a good relationship with our large retail customers, or maintain a wide offering of quality products, or if we lower our prices or increase promotional support of our products in response to pressure from our customers and are unable to increase the volume of our products sold, our profitability could decline.

Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period and if we fail to meet market expectations for a particular period, our share price may decline.

     Our operating results have fluctuated from period to period and are likely to continue to fluctuate as a result of a wide range of factors, including seasonal variations in live pig supply and processed meat products consumption. [For example, demand for our products in general is relatively high before the Chinese New Year in January or February each year and lower thereafter.] Our production and sales of chilled and frozen pork are generally lower in the summer, due to lower supply of live pigs. Interim reports may not be indicative of our performance for the year or our future performance, and period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful due to a number of reasons beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our operating results will meet the expectations of market analysts or our investors. If we fail to meet their expectations, there may be a decline in our share price.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales in China and any downturn in the Chinese economy could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

     Substantially all of our revenues are generated from sales in China. We anticipate that revenues from sales of our products in China will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total revenues in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could, among other things, adversely affect consumer buying power and discourage consumption of our products, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We rely on our exclusive network of showcase stores, network stores and supermarket brand counters for the success of our sales and our brand image, and should they perform poorly, our business and brand image could be materially and adversely affected.

     In addition to our sales to wholesale customers, we sell our products through showcase stores, network stores and supermarket brand counters. All of these retail based stores exclusively sell our pork products and display the Zhongpin logo on the fascia of the stores. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, these retail outlets accounted for approximately 39% and 47%, respectively, of our total revenue. If the sales performance of our retail based stores deteriorates, this could adversely affect the financial results of the company. In addition, any sanitation, hygiene, or food quality problems that might arise from the retail based stores could adversely affect our brand image and lead to a loss of sales. The company does not own or franchise any of the retail based stores.

We rely on the performance of our wholesale retailer and mass merchant customers for the success of our sales, and should they perform poorly or give priority to our competitors’ products, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

     In addition to our retail sales channel, we sell our products to supermarkets and large retailers,

20


which in turn sell the products to end consumers. If the sales performance of our wholesale customers deteriorates, this could adversely affect the performance of our products. Furthermore, our wholesale customers also carry products which directly compete with our products for retail space and consumer purchases. There is a risk that our wholesale customers may give higher priority to products of, or form alliances with, our competitors. If our wholesale customers do not continue to purchase our products, or provide our products with similar levels of promotional support, our sales performance and brand imaging could be adversely affected.

The loss of any of our significant customers could have an adverse effect on our business.

     Our key customers are principally supermarkets and large retailers in the PRC. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, sales to our largest five customers amounted in aggregate to approximately $5.8 million, $8.4 million, $11.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 23%, 28%, 26% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenue. We have not entered into long-term supply contracts with any of these major customers. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will maintain or improve the relationships with these customers, or that we will be able to continue to supply these customers at current levels or at all. If we cannot maintain long-term relationships with our major customers, the loss of a significant portion of our sales to them could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent regulatory enforcement crackdowns on food processing companies in the PRC could adversely affect our businesses.

     Recently, the PRC government authorities have taken certain measures to maintain the PRC food market in good order and to improve the integrity of the PRC food industry, such as enforcing full compliance with industry standards and closing certain food processing companies in the PRC that did not meet regulatory standards. We cannot assure you that our businesses and operations will not be affected as a result of the deteriorating reputation of the food industry in the PRC due to recent scandals regarding food products.

Environmental regulations and related litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

     Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent laws and regulations pertaining to, among other things, the discharge of materials into the environment and the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid and hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. Failure to comply with any laws and regulations and future changes to them may result in significant consequences to us, including civil and criminal penalties, liability for damages and negative publicity.

     We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant capital and operating expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that additional environmental issues will not require currently unanticipated investigations, assessments or expenditures, or that requirements applicable to us will not be altered in ways that will require us to incur significant additional costs.

Our controlling shareholder has significant influence over our management and affairs and could exercise this influence against your best interests.

     Mr. Zhu, our controlling shareholder, beneficially owns approximately 34.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock (which includes shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock), and our other executive officers and directors collectively beneficially own an

21


additional 4.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, pursuant to our By-laws and applicable laws and regulations, our controlling shareholder and our other executive officers and directors are able to exercise significant influence over our Company, including, but not limited to, any shareholder approvals for the election of our Directors and, indirectly, the selection of our senior management, the amount of dividend payments, our annual budget, increases or decreases in our share capital, new securities issuance, mergers and acquisitions and any amendments to our By-laws. Furthermore, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change of control or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which could decrease the market price of our shares.

Deterioration of our perishable products may occur due to delivery delays, malfunctioning of freezer facilities or poor handling during transportation, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The condition of our food products (being perishable goods) may deteriorate due to shipment or delivery delays, malfunctioning of freezer facilities or poor handling during delivery by shippers or intermediaries. We are not aware of any instances whereby we were made to compensate for delivery delays, malfunctioning of freezer facilities or poor handling during transportation. However, there is no assurance that such incidents will not occur in the future. In the event of any delivery delays, malfunctioning of freezer facilities or poor handling during transportation, we may have to make compensation payments and our reputation, business goodwill and revenue will be adversely affected.

Unexpected business interruptions could adversely affect our business.

     Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by fire, power failure and power shortages, hardware and software failure, floods, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. In particular, China, especially eastern and southern China, is experiencing frequent electricity shortages. In addition, we do not carry business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur as a result of these kinds of events and any such losses or damages incurred by us could disrupt our production and other operations.

If we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud; as a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reports, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting and have our independent registered public accounting firm annually attest to our evaluation, as well as issue their own opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. We plan to prepare for compliance with Section 404 by strengthening, assessing and testing our system of internal controls to provide the basis for our report. The process of strengthening our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming, and requires significant management attention, especially given that we have not yet undertaken any efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404. We cannot be certain that the measures we will undertake will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Furthermore, if we are able to rapidly grow our business, the internal controls that we will need will become more complex, and significantly more resources will be required to ensure our internal controls remain effective. Failure to implement required controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we or our auditors discover a

22


material weakness in our internal controls, the disclosure of that fact, even if the weakness is quickly remedied, could diminish investors’ confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, non-compliance with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative sanctions, including the suspension of trading, ineligibility for listing on one of the Nasdaq Stock Markets or national securities exchanges, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which would further reduce our stock price.

We will incur increased costs as a public company which may affect our profitability and an active trading market.

      As part of a public company, HZP will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. We are now subject to the SEC’s rules and regulations relating to public disclosure. SEC disclosures generally involve a substantial expenditure of financial resources. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that full compliance with these new rules and regulations will significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we will be required to create additional board committees and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. Such additional reporting and compliance costs may negatively impact our financial results. To the extent our earnings suffer as a result of the financial impact of our SEC reporting or compliance costs, our ability to develop an active trading market for our securities could be harmed.

Risks Relating To Our Industry

The pig slaughtering and processed meat industries in China are subject to extensive government regulation, which is still evolving.

     The pig slaughtering and processed meat industries in China are heavily regulated by a number of governmental agencies, including primarily the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Health, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the State Environmental Protection Administration. These regulatory bodies have broad discretion and authority to regulate many aspects of the pig slaughtering and processed meat industries in China, including, without limitation, setting hygiene standards for production and quality standards for processed meat products. In addition, the pig slaughtering and processed meat products regulatory framework in China is still in the process of being developed. If the relevant regulatory authorities set standards with which we are unable to comply or which increase our production costs and hence our prices so as to render our products non-competitive, our ability to sell products in China may be limited.

The pig slaughtering and processed meat industries in China may face increasing competition from both domestic and foreign companies, as well as increasing industry consolidation, which may affect our market share and profit margin.

     The pig slaughtering and processed meat industries in China are highly competitive. Our processed meat products are targeted at mid to high end consumers, a market in which we face increasing competition, particularly from foreign suppliers. In addition, the evolving government regulations in relation to the pig slaughtering industry has driven a trend of consolidation through the industry, with smaller operators unable to meet the increasing costs of regulatory compliance and therefore at a competitive disadvantage. We believe that our ability to maintain our market share and grow our operations within this landscape of changing and increasing competition is largely dependant upon our ability to distinguish our products and services.

23


     In addition, prior to China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), high barriers to entry existed for many potential competitors in HZP’s business through the use of tariffs and restrictive import licensing and distribution practices. China’s admission to WTO has lowered some of the tariffs and other barriers to entry so we can expect that competition will increase.

     We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not develop products of a comparable or superior quality to ours, or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving consumer preferences or market trends. In addition, our competitors in the raw meat market may merge or form alliances to achieve a scale of operations or sales network which would make it difficult for us to compete. Increased competition may also lead to price wars, counterfeit products or negative brand advertising, all of which may adversely affect our market share and profit margin. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with our current or potential competitors.

The outbreak of animal diseases, including the recent outbreak affecting those in contact with streptococcus suis-infected pigs in Sichuan Province, PRC, or other epidemics could adversely affect our operations.

     An occurrence of serious animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, or any outbreak of other epidemics in China affecting animals or humans might result in material disruptions to our operations, material disruptions to the operations of our customers or suppliers, a decline in the supermarket or food retail industry or slowdown in economic growth in China and surrounding regions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and turnover. Recently there has been an outbreak of streptococcus suis in pigs, principally in Sichuan Province, PRC, with a large number of cases of human infection following contact with diseased pigs. Our procurement and production facilities are located in Henan Province, PRC and were not affected by the streptococcus suis infection. However, there can be no assurance that our facilities or products will not be affected by an outbreak of this disease or similar ones in the future, or that the market for pork products in the PRC will not decline as a result of fear of disease. In either case, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely and materially affected.

Consumer concerns regarding the safety and quality of food products or health concerns could adversely affect sales of our products.

     Our sales performance could be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the safety and quality of our products. Consumers in the PRC are increasingly conscious of food safety and nutrition. Consumer concerns about, for example, the safety of pork products, or about the safety of food additives used in processed meat products, could discourage them from buying certain of our products and cause our results of operations to suffer.

We may be subject to substantial liability should the consumption of any of our products cause personal injury or illness.

     The sale of food products for human consumption involves an inherent risk of injury to consumers. Such injuries may result from tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination or degeneration, including the presence of foreign contaminants, chemical, substances or other agents or residues during the various stages of the procurement and production process. While we are subject to governmental inspections and regulations, we cannot assure you that consumption of our products will not cause a health-related illness in the future, or that we will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters.

     Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity

24


surrounding any assertions that our products caused personal injury or illness could adversely affect our reputation with customers and our corporate and brand image. In line with industry practice, we do not maintain product liability insurance. Furthermore, our products could potentially suffer from product tampering, contamination or degeneration or be mislabeled or otherwise damaged. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to recall products. Even if a situation does not necessitate a product recall, we cannot assure you that product liability claims will not be asserted against us as a result. A product liability judgment against us or a product recall could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our product and company name may be subject to counterfeiting and/or imitation, which could impact upon our reputation and brand image as well as lead to higher administrative costs.

     We regard brand positioning as the core of our competitive strategy, and intend to position our brand, “Zhongpin” to create the perception and image of “health, nutrition, freshness and quality” in the minds of our customers. There have been frequent occurrences of counterfeiting and imitation of products in the PRC in the past. We cannot guarantee that counterfeiting or imitation of our products will not occur in the future or that we will be able to detect it and deal with it effectively. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation could impact negatively upon our corporate and brand image, particularly if the counterfeit or imitation products cause sickness, injury or death to consumers. In addition, counterfeit or imitation products could result in a reduction in our market share, a loss of revenues or an increase in our administrative expenses in respect of detection or prosecution.

Risks Relating To Conducting Business in the PRC

     Substantially all of our assets and projects are located in the PRC, and substantially all of our revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial position are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in the PRC, including the following risks:

Economic, political and social conditions and government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including, but not limited to:

     
      
structure 
      
capital re-investment 
 
 
government involvement 
 
allocation of resources 
 
 
level of development 
 
control of foreign exchange 
 
 
growth rate 
 
rate of inflation 

     The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industries by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

     Policies and other measures taken by the PRC government to regulate the economy could have a significant negative impact on economic conditions in China, with a resulting negative impact on our

25


business. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by:

  • new laws and regulations and the interpretation of those laws and regulations;

  • the introduction of measures to control inflation or stimulate growth;

  • changes in the rate or method of taxation;

  • the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad; or

  • any actions which limit our ability to develop, produce, import or sell our products in China, or to finance and operate our business in China.

Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies and adversely affect the implementation of our strategy as well as our business and prospects.

     The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.

     In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice further explaining the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the promulgation of the January notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch with respect to their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transaction or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations.

     If we decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to complete the necessary approvals, filings and registrations for the acquisition. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and prospects. In addition, if such registration cannot be obtained, our company will not be able to receive dividends declared and paid by our subsidiaries in the PRC and may be forbidden from paying dividends for profit distribution or capital reduction purposes.

Further movements in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

     At present, almost all of our domestic sales are denominated in Renminbi [and our export sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. In addition, we incur a portion of our cost of sales in Euros, U.S. dollars and Japanese yen in the course of our purchase of imported production equipment and raw materials]. Since 1994, the conversion of the Renminbi into foreign currencies has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, and the exchange rate for the conversion of the Renminbi to U.S. dollars

26


had generally been stable. However, starting from July 21, 2005, the PRC government moved the Renminbi to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. As a result, the Renminbi is no longer directly pegged to the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi was adjusted from approximately RMB8.28 per U.S. dollar on July 20, 2005 to RMB8.11 per U.S. dollar on July 21, 2005. The exchange rate may become volatile, the Renminbi may be revalued further against the U.S. dollar or other currencies or the Renminbi may be permitted to enter into a full or limited free float, which may result in an appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar or other currencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

     The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency outside of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under our current structure, our income is primarily derived from payments from HZP. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of HZP to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy its foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC 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 the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required in those cases in which Renminibi 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 PRC government may also at is 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 shareholders.

HZP is subject to restrictions on making payments to us.

      We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investment in our subsidiary in China, HZP. As a result of our holding company structure, we rely entirely on payments or dividends from HZP for our cash flow to fund our corporate overhead and regulatory obligations. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of Renminibi 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. Further, if our subsidiary in China incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its 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 shares of common stock.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

      We conduct our business primarily through our subsidiary in the PRC, HZP. Our operations in China are governed by PRC 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 PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

      Since 1979, PRC 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

27


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 certainties. In addition, the PRC 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.

It may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our Directors or senior management who live in the PRC or to enforce any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.

Our operations are conducted and assets are located within the PRC. In additional, [all] [most] of our Directors and our senior management personnel reside in China, where substantially all of their assets are located. You may experience difficulties in effecting service of process upon us, our Directors or our senior management as it may not be possible to effect such service of process outside China. In addition, our PRC counsel, DeHeng Law Office, has advised us that China does not have treaties with the United States and many other countries providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the United States or certain other jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible.

Risk Relating to an Investment in Our Securities

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will 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 or may be unable due to pay any dividends. We intend to retain all earnings for our company’s 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.

      As long as the trading price of our common shares is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be 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 an 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 stock, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common stock and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.

28


Our common stock is thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near “ask” prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

      We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. However, we do not rule out the possibility of applying for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or other exchanges. Our common stock has historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the “Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any give time may be relatively small or nonexistent. 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-adverse 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 become 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 that 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 of our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” 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 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. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. As noted above, our common stock is sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event 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. The following factors also may add to the volatility in the price of our common stock: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes; additions to or departures of our key personnel, as well as other items discussed under this “Risk Factors” section, as well as elsewhere in this Report. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain its current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price. However, we do not rule out the possibility of applying for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or another exchange.

      Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, 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 pre-arranged 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

29


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 stock price may subject us to securities litigation.

      The market for our common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect our share price will 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.

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 rule changes, as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy, are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies. Further, 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 activities of our company and its affiliated may lead to future liability for our company.

      Prior to our acquisition of HZP on January 30, 2006, we engaged in businesses unrelated to our current operations. Although certain previously controlling shareholders of our company are providing 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 we are not completely indemnified may have a material adverse effect on our company.

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 operations results;

  • changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

  • conditions in foreign or domestic meat processing or agricultural markets;

30


  • changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other meat processing 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 the RMB and the U.S. dollar;

  • intellectual property litigation;

  • 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.

Future sales of shares of our common stock may decrease the price for such shares.

      After the one-year holding period requirement under Rule 144 expires on January 30, 2007 on the shares of our common stock issued to former shareholders of HZP in the acquisition of that company, or sooner if we achieve registration of part or all of those shares, a large number of shares of our common stock will be eligible for resale on the open market, many without any restrictions as to size or frequency of such sales. Actual sales, or the prospect of sales by our shareholders, may have a negative effect on the market price of the shares of our common stock. We may also register certain shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding warrants, convertible promissory notes and stock options, or reserved for issuance under our stock option plans. Once such shares are registered, they can be freely sold in the public market upon exercise of the options. If any of our shareholders either individually or in the aggregate cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public market, or if the market perceives that these holders intend to sell a large number of securities, such sales or anticipated sales could result in a substantial reduction in the trading price of shares of our common stock and could also impede our ability to raise future capital.

Mergers of the type we just completed with HZP are often heavily scrutinized by the SEC and we may encounter difficulties or delays in obtaining future regulatory approvals.

      Historically, the SEC and Nasdaq have not generally favored transactions in which a privately-held company merges into a largely inactive company with publicly traded stock, and there is a significant risk that we may encounter difficulties in obtaining the regulatory approvals necessary to conduct future financing or acquisition transactions, or to eventually achieve a listing of shares on one of the Nasdaq stock markets or on a national securities exchange. On June 29, 2005, the SEC adopted rules dealing with private company mergers into dormant or inactive public companies. As a result, it is likely that we will be scrutinized carefully by the SEC and possibly by the National Association of Securities Dealers or Nasdaq, which could result in difficulties or delays in achieving SEC clearance of any future registration statements or other SEC filings that we may pursue, in attracting NASD-member broker-dealers to serve as market-makers in our common stock, or in achieving admission to one of the Nasdaq stock markets or any other national securities market. As a consequence, our financial condition and the value and liquidity of your shares of our common stock may be negatively impacted.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary objective of HZP’s investment activities is to reinvest its capital internally for the purpose of funding business operations, while at the same time maximizing the income HZP receives from its operations without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, HZP’s investment policy allows it to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper and money market funds. HZP’s cash and investments at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of cash in bank accounts. Note, however, that the Chinese government at present uses a regime of fixed exchange rates (currently 8.10 RMB for 1 USD), and if this system is changed, fluctuations in the exchange rates will have an impact on HZP’s business, including its investment policies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Founded in 1993, the HZP is principally engaged in the meat and food processing business in the

32


People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). Currently, HZP has five processing plants located in Henan Province in the PRC, with a total of seven production lines. HZP’s products are sold under the Zhongpin brand name. HZP’s customers include over ten international fast food companies in China, over 30 export-registered processing factories and over 1,200 school cafeterias, factory canteens, army posts and national departments. HZP also sells directly to over 2,000 retail outlets, including supermarkets, within the PRC.

In 2005, HZP was one of the top 151 national agricultural industrial enterprises in the PRC and is ranked eighth overall, in terms of revenue, in the national meat industry. HZP possesses state-of-the-art equipment in its abattoirs and processing facilities. During the past five years, HZP’s growth rate has exceeded 50% percent in terms of both revenues and net profits. HZP has established distribution networks in more than 20 provinces in the North, East, South and South Midland of China, and also has formed strategic partnerships with leading supermarket chains and the catering industry in China. HZP is currently exporting products to the European Union, Southeast Asia and Russia.

Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $5.32 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to $2.17 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 benefited from higher revenue growth in meat and meat products and vegetables and fruits.

HZP began construction of a third fully dedicated case-ready plant in fiscal 2005. This plant is scheduled to begin operating in fiscal 2006, and once fully operational, it is expected to increase meat processing capacity by 60,000 metric tons.

HZP's fiscal year was changed from fiscal year ended June 30 to fiscal year ended December 31.

Outlook

As the HZP begins fiscal 2006, its intent is to continue to focus on the implementation of HZP strategic plan to continue the growth that HZP has experienced in the last four years. HZP’s goal for fiscal 2006 is to increase its product sales to more than $110 million, an increase of approximately $40 million as compared to the pro forma fiscal 2005.

HZP expects to complete the construction of a new, fresh chilled meat processing facility and to expand HZP’s capability in temperature controlled, physical logistic systems. In addition, HZP expects to expand its capital base, scale up operations and develop new markets, streamline supply chain management, invest in training and human resources development and accelerate revenue and profit growth.

In fiscal 2006, HZP expects the pork and pork products segment results to remain solid and achieve growth exceeding 50%. Currently, live hog prices are expected to be remain favorable in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005, supply is expected to be ample and HZP anticipates good demand for pork going into the start of fiscal 2006. HZP anticipates operating income will be slightly impacted in fiscal 2006 by higher energy costs. The vegetables and fruits segment is also expected to achieve accelerated growth that would exceed 50%. HZP anticipates increasing market share in the meat and meat products segment in target markets in fiscal 2006.

Nine months ended September 30, 2005 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2004

Revenues increased $19.84 million or 63%, with a 1% increase in average sales price and a 62% increase in volume. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased sales in HZP’s meat and

33


meat products segment resulting from the effects of increasing number of branded stores sales and a widening wholesale customer base.

Cost of goods sold increased $15.79 million or 59%. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 86% to 83%. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to lower raw material costs of approximately 3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $17,000 or 2%. As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 2.60% to 1.56% . The decrease was primarily due to an increase of sales volume and improved efficiency due to economies of scale.

Interest expense increased $0.31 million or 35%, primarily resulting from a 23% increase in HZP’s average indebtedness. The overall weighted average borrowing rate increased from 7.23% to 7.99% .

Other income decreased $0.61 million as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily resulting from a decrease of allowance income.

The effective tax rate is 33% for prepared products and there is no income tax for raw products in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the same rates applied in the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Segment Information

HZP operates in two business segments: meat and meat products, and vegetables and fruits.

Pork and pork products segment is involved primarily in the processing of live market hogs into fresh, frozen and processed pork products. The meat and meat products segment markets its products domestically to Company branded stores, food retailers, foodservice distributors, restaurant operators and noncommercial foodservice establishments such as schools, hotel chains, healthcare facilities, the military and other food processors, as well as to international markets.

Vegetables and fruits segment is involved primarily in the processing of fresh vegetables and fruits. HZP contracts with more than 120 farms in Henan Province and nearby areas to produce high-quality vegetable varieties and fruits suitable for export purposes. The proximity of the contracted farms to HZP’s operations ensures freshness from harvest to processing. HZP contracts to grow more than 20 categories of vegetables and fruits, including asparagus, sweet corn, broccoli, mushrooms, lima beans and strawberries.

Pork segment sales increased 61% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher volumes, caused largely by an increasing wholesale customer base and an increasing number of Company branded stores and increasing number of supermarkets that are purchasing the pork and pork products of HZP. Pork and pork products segment operating income increased $4.19 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the same period last year.

Vegetables and fruits segment sales increased 147% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in sales primarily resulted from the effects of a higher export sales. The nine months ended September 30, 2005 operating income increased $0.10 million as compared to the prior year.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (the Interpretation). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143), was issued in June 2001 and requires an entity to recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that resulted from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset. The associated asset costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Interpretation clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The Interpretation requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. SFAS No. 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. HZP is currently in the process of evaluating any potential effects of the Interpretation but does not believe its adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for

35


Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The revision requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the financial statements based on the fair value at the date of the grant. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either the modified prospective method or the modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The modified retrospective method includes the requirements of the modified prospective method, but also permits entities to restate either all prior periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption for the impact of adopting this standard. HZP will apply the modified prospective method upon adoption. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced it would provide for phased-in implementation of SFAS No. 123R. As a result, SFAS No. 123R is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period of the registrant’s first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. HZP estimates that compensation expense related to employee stock options for fiscal 2006 is expected to be in the range of $0.5 -$1.0 million. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to be reported as financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. HZP believes this reclassification will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory Costs" (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of inventory costs related to idle facility, freight handling and wasted material expenses to be recognized as current period charges. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. HZP believes the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s Retail Network

     Showcase Stores

     Based on market research and evolving consumption trends, the Company has taken a customer driven approach and focused on core customers, the new middle class in China. This is the consumer segment that has disposable income and is willing to spend on quality goods and services. We are pursuing the first-mover advantage and have acted quickly to develop the concept of high-end specialty boutique grocery chain stores, “the showcase stores” with the freshest pork products, highest quality farm grown vegetables and other merchandise that is designed to be convenient to a two income, middle class family who shops daily after work.

     The showcase stores are designed to highlight all of HZP’s products together and provide customers with a total view of what HZP is about. Currently there are 66 showcase stores that are located at “Main & Main” locations in major cities within Henan Province. The showcase stores share the same design and physical layout as provided by the Company to the store operators. The stores are managed following the Company’s operating procedures and the employees of the stores have gone through a vigorous three months training program provided by the Company. On average ninety percent of all revenues generated in such stores come from selling HZP products. The showcase stores are owned and operated by independent operators. The merchandising and pricing policies are set by the Company.

     Network Stores

     In addition to the showcase stores, there are 325 network stores. Network stores are owned and operated by independent operators. Approximately seventy percent of revenues generated from such stores come from selling HZP’s branded products. The Company provides the operators standardized physical design and layout of the store. The operators of the network stores manage the business following established Company management guidelines and pricing policies. The stores have the right to use the “Zhongpin” logos and brands.

No dividends (other than those payable solely in common stock) will be paid to the holders of common stock until there shall have been paid or declared and set apart during that fiscal year for the holders of the Series A Preferred a dividend in an amount per share that the holders would have got for the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of their shares of Series A Preferred.

      Voting. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred (i) shall be entitled to the number of votes with respect to such share equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such share of Series A Preferred could be converted on the record date for the subject vote or written consent (or, if there is no such record date, then on the date that such vote is taken or consent is effective) and (ii) shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with our Bylaws.

     Appoint and Elect a Director. So long as the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred is greater than 10% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis), the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one of our (1) directors.

      Conversion Right. The holder may convert each share of Series A Preferred into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.113157. The conversion price will be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits and similar events.

     Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price at the time in effect if (i) we have an underwritten public offering of our common stock giving us at least $30 million in net proceeds, (ii)(A) the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $0.2828934 (as adjusted) for the twenty (20) consecutive-trading-day period ending within two (2) days of the date on which we provides notice of such conversion as hereinafter provided and (B) either a registration statement registering for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred has been declared effective and remains effective and available for resales for the twenty (20)-day period, or Rule 144(k) is available for the resale of such shares, or (iii) by consent of at least 67% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred.

      Protective Provisions. So long as at least 1,750,000 shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and the like), the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred shall be required (in addition to any consent or approval otherwise required by law) for us to take certain actions, including (1) liquidation, dissolution or wind up, (2) amend, alter or repeal any provision of our certificate of incorporation so as to affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred, (3) create new class of preferred stock or increase the number of of shares of Series A Preferred that can be issued, or (4) purchase or redeem, or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any securities junior in priority to the Series A Preferred; or (5) make any change in the size of our Board of Directors

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Under Delaware law, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than one by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which such person reasonably believed to be, in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

     In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expense, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such director or officer if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which such person reasonably believed to be, in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect on any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense.

     Delaware Law permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director’s liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. Delaware Law provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner.

     Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions shall be prospective only, and shall not affect any rights or protections of any of our directors existing as of the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

     We may also, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, purchase and maintain insurance to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law on behalf of any of our directors, officers, employees or agents against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED
Henan Province, People’s Republic of China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
  SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
 
  Several areas require significant management estimates relating to uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible that there will be a material change in the near term. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates related to the valuation of equipment, accrued liabilities and the useful lives for amortization and depreciation.
 
  CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
  Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on current practice in the PRC, management provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equivalent to those accounts that are not collected within one year.
 
  INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.
 
  LAND USE RIGHTS
 
  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if indications of possible impairment exist. The Company has performed the requisite annual transitional impairment tests on intangible assets and made the impairment adjustments as necessary.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
  The Company recognizes revenue as earned when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Company recognizes an "impairment charge" when the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset's use and eventual disposition are less than the asset's carrying value and the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. Measurement of fair value for an asset or group of assets may be based on appraisal, market values of similar assets or estimated discounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset or assets.
 
  Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments, which do not materially extend the normal useful life of an asset, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
 
  Depreciation and amortization are provided for financial reporting purposes primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 50 years.
 
  OPERATING LEASES
 
  Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Rental payments under operating leases are charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period of the relevant leases.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
  Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.
 
  The Company recorded income tax expenses of $0, $84,541 and $57,097 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
  The Company withholds and pays income taxes on its employees' wages, which funds the Chinese government's sponsored health and retirement programs of all Henan Zhongpin employees. For Henan Zhongpin employees, the Company was obligated to make contributions to the social insurance bureau under the laws of the PRC for pension and retirement benefits.

11.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” ("SFAS 107") requires entities to disclose the fair values of financial instruments except when it is not practicable to do so. Under SFAS No. 107, it is not practicable to make this disclosure when the costs of formulating the estimated values exceed the benefit when considering how meaningful the information would be to financial statement users.
 
  As a result of the difficulties presented in the valuation of the loans payable to related entities/parties because of their related party nature, estimating the fair value of these financial instruments is not considered practical. The fair values of all other assets and liabilities do not differ materially from their carrying amounts. None of the financial instruments held are derivative financial instruments and none were acquired or held for trading purposes in 2005, 2004 and 2003.
 
12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  In May 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB came to a consensus regarding EITF 02-14 “Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock”. The consensus of the task force is that the equity method of accounting is to be used for investments in common stock or in-substance common stock, effective for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2004. The Company currently has no equity investments other than its consolidated subsidiaries. As such, this standard has no application to the Company.
 
  In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs”. SFAS No. 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current period charges and that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes that the application of SFAS No. 151 will have no significant impact on the financial statements.

12.      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
 
  In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, “Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets”. SFAS No. 153 confirms that exchanges of nonmonetary assets are to be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged, except for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Those transactions are to be measured at entity specific values. The Company believes that the application of SFAS No. 153 will have no significant impact on the financial statements.
 
  In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123, as revised, requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The effective date for the Company is the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. Management expects that the application of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will have no significant impact on the financial statements.
 
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  In July 2005, an outbreak of a bacterial infection, termed the swine flu, occurred in pigs as well as pork related products in Sichuan Province, PRC. The bacterial infection led to the deaths of a number of humans in various locales throughout the PRC as well as the culling of portions of the pig herd in Sichuan Province. As of August 2005, the swine flu in China appeared to be under control, up to which time the Company’s operations had not been adversely affected by the swine flu outbreak. The Company procures its pigs from suppliers in Henan Province where no outbreak of swine flu had been reported. The Company does not believe that there will be a negative effect on its operating environment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED
Henan Province, People’s Republic of China

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED as of September 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to item 310 of Regulation SB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004.
   
1.      ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
  Henan Zhongpin Food Share Company Limited (the Company) is incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Company is headquartered in Henan Province and has its corporate office in Changge City. The Company is principally engaged in the production of pork, pork products and vegetables, and the retail sales of pork, processed pork products, vegetables and other grocery items to customers throughout China and other export countries, either directly or through its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”).

  The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
 
  U.S. GAAP differs from that used in the statutory financial statements of the Company, which were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and financial reporting regulations as established by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. Certain accounting principles stipulated under U.S. GAAP are not applicable in the PRC.
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (US) dollars. The functional currency is the Yuan Renminbi (RMB) of the People’s Republic of China. The consolidated financial statements are translated into US dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
 
  RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at rates used in translation.
 
  MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
 
  The Company records minority interest expense, which reflects the minority shareholders’ portion of the earnings of Henan Zhongpin Industrial Company Limited and Henan Zhongpin Import and Export Trading Company.
 
  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF ASSETS OUT OF CHINA
 
  Dividend payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in China. No dividends may be paid by the Company without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. Dividend payments are restricted to 85% of profits, after tax.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

HENAN ZHONGPIN FOOD SHARE COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
  SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
 
  Several areas require significant management estimates relating to uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible that there will be a material change in the near term. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates related to the valuation of equipment, accrued liabilities and the useful lives for amortization and depreciation.
 
  CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
  Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on current practice in the PRC, management provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equivalent to those accounts that are not collected within one year.
 
  INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Work-in-progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.
 
  LAND USE RIGHTS
 
  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if indications of possible impairment exist. The Company has performed the requisite annual transitional impairment tests on intangible assets and made the impairment adjustments as necessary.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
  The Company recognizes revenue as earned when the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related groups of assets, may not be recoverable. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Company recognizes an "impairment charge" when the expected net undiscounted future cash flows from an asset's use and eventual disposition are less than the asset's carrying value and the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. Measurement of fair value for an asset or group of assets may be based on appraisal, market values of similar assets or estimated discounted future cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset or assets.
 
  Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments, which do not materially extend the normal useful life of an asset, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
 
  Depreciation and amortization are provided for financial reporting purposes primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 50 years.
 
  OPERATING LEASES
 
  Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Rental payments under operating leases are charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period of the relevant leases.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
  Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.
 
  The Company withholds and pays income taxes on its employees' wages, which funds the Chinese government's sponsored health and retirement programs of all Henan Zhongpin employees. For Henan Zhongpin employees, the Company was obligated to make contributions to the social insurance bureau under the laws of the PRC for pension and retirement benefits.

STRONG TECHNICAL INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Strong Technical Inc. (Strong), Falcon Link Investment Limited (Falcon), Henan Zhongpin Food Co., Ltd. (ZP Limited) and Henan Zhongpin Food Share Company Limited (ZP Share). Strong acquired Falcon in a stock exchange on January 23, 2006 by issuing ?? shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Falcon. Prior to that, Falcon acquired ZP Limited on September 26, 2005 and ZP Limited acquired ZP Share on May 30, 2005. All three acquisition transactions constitute transfers under common control and are accounted for as reverse mergers, in which ZP Share is treated as the accounting acquirer. Thus, the financial statements will be primarily those of ZP Share with the adoption of the capital structure of Strong.

Strong is the registrant, a Delaware corporation established on February 4, 2003. Strong has a fiscal year end of June 30, and currently has no operations other than the acquisition of Falcon on January 23, 2006. The balance sheet of Strong on September 30, 2005, as filed with Form 10-QSB, contained no assets and no liabilities. The balance sheet of Strong as of September 30, 2005 is presented in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. The statement of operations of Strong for the year ended June 30, 2005, as filed with Form 10-KSB is presented in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. The income from discontinued operations will be non-recurring, and has therefore been eliminated as a pro forma adjustment. The statement of operations of Strong for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as filed with Form 10-QSB indicated no revenues or expenses, and is presented in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Falcon was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 21, 2005 for the sole purpose of acquiring and holding ZP Limited, and has no other operations. The unaudited accounts of Falcon as of September 30, 2005 are included in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. Falcon did not exist in 2004, therefore no revenues or expenses are shown for the year ended December 31, 2004. Falcon had no revenues and only minimal expenses for the period from its inception to September 30, 2005. Accordingly, those expenses are included on the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

ZP Limited was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC) on May 20, 2005 for the sole purpose of acquiring and holding ZP Share, and has no other operations. The unaudited accounts of ZP Limited as of September 30, 2005 are included in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. ZP Limited did not exist in 2004, therefore no revenues or expenses are shown for the year ended December 31, 2004. ZP Limited had no revenues or expenses for the period from its inception to September 30, 2005. Accordingly, none are shown on the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

ZP Share was incorporated in November of 1997 in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC), and is in the business of producing and selling pork, pork products, vegetables and other grocery products within the PRC either directly or through its subsidiaries, Henan Zhongpin Industrial Company Limited and Henan Zhongpin Import and Export Trading Company. ZP Share’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 is included in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. ZP Share’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 is included in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, and its unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is included in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

2.           PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The pro forma adjustments on the pro forma consolidated balance sheet eliminate related party receivables against corresponding related party payables. There are also entries to eliminate investments in subsidiary accounts, to agree retained earnings to those of ZP Share, and to adjust common stock and additional paid in capital accounts to the capital structure of Strong.

The consolidating entries on the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 eliminate the effect of non-recurring income from discontinued operations.
