Annual Report
PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "will," "we believe," "AIDA believes," "management believes" and similar languages. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of AIDA and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in the discussion under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" on this report. The actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Investors are also advised to refer to the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB and 8-K, in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.
104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for us to recognize
revenue:
1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
3. The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
4. Collectibility is reasonably assured.
For fixed-priced refundable contracts, the Company recognizes revenue on a completion basis. Progress payments received/receivables are recognized as revenue only if the specified criteria is achieved, accepted by the customer, confirmed not refundable and continued performance of future research and development services related to the criteria are not required.
We have identified one policy area as critical to the understanding of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. With respect to net realizable value of the Company's accounts receivable, Long-lived assets and inventories, significant estimation judgments are made and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had made no impairments for Long-lived assets. Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The Company also periodically evaluates the amortization periods of its depreciable assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful lives.
Management's estimation whether a provision is needed is based on management's analysis of the current facts of whether potential impairments on the current carrying value of the inventories due to potential obsolescence exist as a result of aged inventories. In making their judgments, management made their estimations of the potential impairments based on the demand for their products in the future and the trends of turnover of the inventories. The Company made an allowance of nil and $200,017 against inventories at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
While the Company's management currently believes that there is little likelihood that the actual results of their current estimates will differ materially from such current estimates, if the financial position of its customers deteriorates, if there is a significant reduction in the carrying value of its Long-lived assets, or if, customer demand for its products decreases significantly in the near future, the Company could realize significant write downs for uncollectible accounts receivable, impairment of Long-lived assets or slow moving inventories.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the sales of Hangzhou Aida increased by $2,404,964 or 25.87% as compared to the year of 2004. Despite the fact that the sales of Hangzhou Aida have remained strong in 2005, there is a slight reduction in the selling price of the Etimicin series by approximately 5%. The reduction has enabled the products of Hangzhou Aida to be more competitive than other major antibiotics in the PRC, which resulted in approximately 25.87% increase in sales volume in aggregation. The increase in sales can also be explained by the fact that Etimicin has been listed in the National Essential Drugs List, which serve as a guideline for more provinces. Accordingly, the provinces have added Etimicin on their local drug list and this has a positive impact on the sales of the Hangzhou Aida.
The sales revenue from Aike increased to $10,195,250 in the year 2005 from $6,196,758 from the year 2004, representing an increase of 64.53%. The increase in sales in 2005 is the result of the intense marketing and promotion programs of a new Etimicin transfusion product, "AIYI" which was put into the market in 2004.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company has experienced a further increase in sales of $2,604,118 from the acquisition on Fangyuan on February 1, 2005. Fangyuan specializes in the production of liquid Etimicin for injection. With the acquisition, the Group is capable of producing a full series of Etimicin, namely, powder, transfusion and liquid.
The cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $8,333,619 an increase of $3,711,089 from $4,622,530 for the year 2004. The increase in cost of goods sold can be analyzed as follows:

The cost of goods sold of Hangzhou Aida increased by 35.05% for the year 2005 from $2,409,992 to $3,254,748. The increase in the cost of goods sold can mainly be accounted for by an increase in sales volume of Aida by 25.87% and a general increase in the cost of raw materials.
Despite the increase in sales of 64.53%, the cost of goods sold of Aike increased only by 25.92% for the year 2005 compared to the year 2004. The increase can partially be explained by the increase in sales. Moreover intensive advertising and promotion campaigns have been carried out for Aike's new Etimicin transfusion product, "AiYi" after it was first launched to the market in 2004. "AiYi" is an advance antibiotic with a relatively higher gross margin than the others. This accounted for the fact that the increase in cost of goods sold did not keep pace with the increase in sales. Sales of "AiYi" accounted for approximately $3,932,770 in 2005 or 38.6% of the total revenue of Aike.
The increase in the cost of goods sold as a result of the increase in sales both in Aida and Aike has partially been offset by the effect of the acquisition of Fangyuan in February 2005. Fangyuan is the sole supplier of Etimicin raw material of the Group, and the acquisition has enabled the Group to enjoy the benefit of vertical integration and economies of scale and therefore lead to a lower cost of goods sold. In addition, the steady supply of raw materials for the production of Etimicin products had been safeguarded.
Despite the increase in total sales revenue of 56.77%, the cost of goods sold increased by 80.28% in the year 2005 compared to the year 2004. The Company has suffered a slight decrease in the gross profit margin.
Compared to the year 2004, the percentage gross profit margin for our Company decreased from 70.45% to 66.02% in the year of 2005. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage was mainly attributable to the increase in the cost of raw materials and a slight reduction in the sale price of Aida's product by approximately 5%. However, the effect of which has partially been offset by the acquisition of Fangyuan enabling the Company to enjoy lower cost of sales.
Research and development decreased to $38,625 for the year 2005 from $263,081 for the year 2004. The research and development costs incurred in 2004 represented cost incurred for toxicological tests for the Etimicin product with a view of improving the quality of the drugs. No such cost was incurred in 2005.
Selling and Distribution
Selling and distribution expenses increased from $5,903,916 for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to $10,081,651 for the year 2005, or a 70.76% increase.
Compared to the year 2004, our increase was due to the following:

For the year ended December 31, 2005 traveling expenses and office expenses increased by $2,712,335 and $304,637 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase can mainly be explained by the increase in sales of 56.77%. To meet the increasing demands in diversified regions in the PRC, the Company set up dozens of new offices late 2004 as well as early 2005, which resulted in the increasing traveling costs. Currently management of the Company is consolidating and restructuring the sales forces of various subsidiaries with a view of minimizing the selling and distribution expenses in the coming years. Moreover, the restructuring of Fangyuan had been completed and management is confident that the sales and distribution expenses will fall within a reasonable range in the years to come.
One of the Company's subsidiaries, Fangyuan has introduced a new sales commission structure during 2005 with a view of expanding the market share of the Company's product. This accounted for the increase in sales commissions of $551,985.
The payroll expenses increased from $414,605 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $555,339 for the year 2005. The increase can be accounted for largely by the increase of sales staff upon the completion of the acquisition of Fangyuan in February 2005.
The conference fee represented expenses incurred in holding conferences in various places and its related outlays for the customers or sales representatives of the Company. The conference fee increased from $786,665 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $930,505 for the year 2005. The increase was due to the increased number of conferences held for the promotion of the Company's products.
Promotion fees mainly represented advertising expenses for the Company's product. The increase of promotion fees of $133,840 can be explained by the increase in sales. Management has implemented a more intensive advertising campaign to increase the market share of the Company's products.
Entertainment increased from $87,595 from 2004 to $546,727 for 2005. The increase was attributable to the increase in sale. The sales forces of the Company had paid more frequent visits to the customers with a view of improving the customers' relationship and subsequent increase in sales.

Forgiveness of debt of $52,474 represented amount due to Sunshine Group (previous shareholders of Fangyuan) not claimed on the completion of the acquisition of Fangyuan.
Gain from nonmonetary transaction of $125,097 results from that the Company transferred equipment with an aggregate net book value of $514,133 for settling a liability to Sunshine Group of $639,230 resulting in a gain of $125,097.
Other income has decreased from $159,892 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $(9,495) for the year 2005. The decrease is due to the fact that there was a tax refund in 2004.

Since Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd has been a foreign investment company since 2004, its first profitable year for income tax purposes as a foreign investment company was 2004, so we are still exempted from income tax expenses in 2005.
