We acquired Shenyang Enshi Pharmaceutical Limited Company ("Enshi) on June 6, 2006. Upon the acquisition of Enshi the Company identified major breaches and fraud by the previous owner and controlling shareholders of Enshi, Mr. Li Xiaobo and his related parties ("Defendants") in the representations and warranties provided by him to the Company and the Defendants' refusal to honor their indemnification obligations to the Company. The Company's former subsidiary RACP filed a lawsuit against the Defendants alleging fraud and is pursuing rescission and damages (the "LXB Litigation"). Enshi's operations have been severely hindered and as a result we decided to suspend its operations. In addition, since Enshi was pledged as collateral for the $11.5 million debt owed to RimAsia Capital Partners, L.P. ("RimAsia") in connection with the Enshi Acquisition, Enshi was taken over by RimAsia in July 2007. As a result, Enshi is no longer a subsidiary of the Company. Due to the uncertainty on the amount to be recovered from the lawsuit, our management decided to write off the total carrying value of Enshi in the third quarter of 2007 and report it as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, assets, liabilities and operating results that were attributed to Enshi are presented as discontinued operations. The recovered value of Enshi, if any, after the completion of the litigation against the Defendants will be recognized as income. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), when a component of an entity, as defined in SFAS 144, has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on its disposal should be classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of such component should be classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations, that is provided that the operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the component have been eliminated from the company's consolidated operations and the Company will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified the policies below as critical to understanding of our financial statements. The application of these polices requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of assets and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed below.
REVENUE AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
For fixed-price refundable contracts, we recognize revenue on a milestone basis. Progress payments received/receivables are recognized as revenue only if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer. Confirmed revenue is not refundable and continued performance of future research and development services related to the milestone are not required. For sale of patented pharmaceutical formulas, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of the patented formulas. For sales of final medicines and processed materials, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the goods. The company usually does not offer sales returns or refunds on the products except for some specific circumstances, such as quality problems, which is rare and is difficult to have an accurate estimate.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management judgment and estimates are made in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our operating results. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The reserve for bad debts increased to $1,405,533 as of September 30, 2008 from $1,260,760 as of December 31, 2007. This increase is mainly resulted from additional allowance reserved for accounts receivable balance outstanding for over one year, and change in the exchange rate of RMB to USD. As of September 30, 2008, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to $4,228,598.
The following table provides the roll forward of the allowance of doubtful accounts:

We prepare the above consolidated aging based on the aging for each subsidiary in above format. As each subsidiary of the Company conducts business with different customers with different size and creditworthiness, and each subsidiary has different impact on and different relationship with their customers, we determine the allowance on an individual basis. Basically, we assign various rates to each of the aging group of accounts receivable and add up the products for respective aging group to the total allowance for doubtful accounts. Different subsidiaries have different rates for even the same aging category. In addition to that, we also consider the changes in specific financial condition of their customers if situation or events indicate that some accounts may pose unusual risk compared to others, additional allowance may be provided for those accounts.
INCOME TAX
Significant judgment is required in determining our income tax provision. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made. We apply an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the deferred tax asset. In the event we determine that future taxable income will not be sufficient to utilize the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance is recorded.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities--Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to provide opportunities to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions.
SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company chose not to
elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and
liabilities.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities" ("FSP EITF 07-3"), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. The Company adopted FSP EITF 07-3 on January 1, 2008 and there is no material effect on financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51", which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB) issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 seeks to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To achieve this increased transparency, SFAS 161 requires (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and gains and losses in a tabular format; (2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3) cross-referencing within the footnotes. SFAS 161 is effective on January 1, 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new disclosure requirements under SFAS 161.
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-5 Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company's own stock and (b) classified in stockholders' equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer's own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The Company believes adopting this statement will have a material impact on the financial statements because among other things, any option or warrant previously issued and all new issuances denominated is US dollars will be required to be carried as a liability and marked to market each reporting period.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP.157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 became effective on October 10, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

First and foremost is the rise in selling price and sales volume of Erye's raw material Drugs, in Which oxacillin sodium sales are more than 90% coverage in domestic; Second, the reform of medical insurance system in rural areas of China helps to promote the sales of Erye's drugs.
