OUR BUSINESS
We are a vertically integrated bio-pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative drugs in the People's Republic of China ("China" or PRC"). Our mission is to maximize investment returns for our shareholders by integrating our strong drug discovery and development strength with manufacturing and commercialization capabilities and by actively participating in the consolidation and privatization of the pharmaceutical industry in China to become a dominant player in the bio-pharmaceutical industry in China.
As reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 6, 2008, On November 2, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with NeoStem, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NeoStem"), China Biopharmaceuticals Corp., a British Virgin Islands corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary ("CBC"), and CBH Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement contemplates our merger with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the "Merger"); provided, that prior to the consummation of the Merger, we will spin off all of our shares of capital stock of CBC to our stockholders in a liquidating distribution so that the only material assets of us following such spin-off will be our 51% ownership interest in Suzhou Erye Pharmaceuticals Company Ltd. ("Erye"), a Sino-foreign joint venture with limited liability organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), plus net cash which shall not be less than $550,000. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, all of our shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("CBH Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") will be converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, 7,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of NeoStem (the "NeoStem Common Stock") (of which 150,000 shares will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into between CBH and NeoStem). Subject to the cancellation of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of CBH Common Stock held by RimAsia Capital Partners, L.P. ("RimAsia"), a current holder of approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of NeoStem Common Stock and the sole holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CBH (the "CBH Series B Preferred Stock"), all of the shares of CBH Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into (i) 5,383,009 shares of NeoStem Common Stock, (ii) 6,977,512 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value, of NeoStem, each with a liquidation preference of $1.125 per share and convertible into shares of NeoStem Common Stock at a conversion price of $.90 per share, and (iii) warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. At the Effective Time, in exchange for cancellation of all of the outstanding shares of CBH Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of CBH (the "CBH Series A Preferred Stock") held by Stephen Globus, a director of CBH, and/or related persons, NeoStem will issue to Mr. Globus and/or related persons an aggregate of 50,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock. NeoStem also will issue 60,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock to Mr. Globus and 40,000 shares of NeoStem Common Stock to Chris Peng Mao, the Chief Executive Officer of CBH, in exchange for the cancellation and the satisfaction in full of indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of $90,000, plus any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and other obligations of CBH to Globus and Mao. NeoStem will bear 50% of up to $450,000 of CBH's expenses post-merger, and satisfaction of the liabilities of Messrs. Globus and Mao will count toward that obligation. NeoStem also will issue 200,000 shares to CBC to be held in escrow, payable if NeoStem successfully consummates its previously announced acquisition of control of Shandong New Medicine Research Institute of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Limited Liability Company.
Also at the Effective Time, subject to acceptance by the holders of all of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of CBH Common Stock (other than warrants held by RimAsia), such warrants shall be canceled and the holders thereof shall receive warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of up to 2,012,097 shares of NeoStem Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the authorization for listing on the American Stock Exchange (or any other stock exchange on which shares of NeoStem Common Stock are listed) of the shares to be issued in connection with the Merger, shareholder approval, approval of NeoStem's acquisition of 51% ownership interest in Erye by relevant PRC governmental authorities, receipt of a fairness opinion and other customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. If the necessary approvals for the Merger are not obtained and the Merger is not consummated, we will fail to comply with our agreement with RimAsia which may cause irreparable damage to our business and operations.
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
The Company has various categories of revenue resources, sales of new drug formulas, R&D services and revenue from sales of medical product.
The Company recognizes revenue from product and drug formula sales when title has passed, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection of the related receivable is probable which is generally at the time of shipment. Allowances are established for estimated rebates, wholesaler charge backs, prompt pay sales discounts, product returns, and bad debts.
For revenue from R&D service, revenue is recognized based on fixed-price
refundable new drug contracts. The fixed-price refundable new drug contract is
also called as milestone contract, which establishes the phase goals of the R&D
service provided by the Company and the corresponding milestone payments by the
customers. Milestone payments become payable and are recognized as revenue when
milestone goals, as defined in the contract, are achieved. Milestones are
substantive and not derived solely from arriving at a specific date. Revenue is
recognized when milestone goals are achieved at the amount of the corresponding
milestone payment. To determine when milestones are achieved, typically, the
milestone goals require one or more of the following: (1) a certificate from a
licensed authoritative agency, (2) approval/acknowledgement by a governmental
agency, such as agency like Food and Drug Administration of the United States,
(3) an authoritative professional appraisal report, or (4) an independent
technological feasibility report, testing analysis and other form of valuation
on the result and value of products and service. After receipt of the
certificate, and/or approval and/or report, continued service is not required
thus the respective milestone goals are achieved. Therefore, the milestone
payment is no longer refundable and revenue is recognized.
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 ultimate collection of the Company's accounts receivables may take over one year and the Company reserved bad debt expense for accounts receivables outstanding more than 6 month. The reserve for bad debts increased to $1, 280,099 as of March 31, 2009 from $1,200,983 as of December 31, 2008. This increase is mainly resulted from additional allowance reserved for accounts receivable balance outstanding for over six months, and change in the exchange rate of RMB to USD. As of March 31, 2009, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to $2,916,364.
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
Income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company's financial statements..
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, defines financial instruments and requires fair value disclosures of those financial instruments. SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for receivables, payables and short term loans qualify as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
o Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
o Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
o Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"), which is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and which replaced the previous guidance on this topic in EITF 01-6. Paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company's own stock and (b) classified in stockholders' equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 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 FAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception.
As a result of adopting EITF 07-5, 19,831,684 of our issued and outstanding warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment because the strike price of the warrants is denominated in US dollar, a currency other than the Company's functional currency, the Chinese Renminbi. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company's own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). Certain provisions of this statement are required to be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented. Such provisions include a requirement that the carrying value of noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) be removed from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet and reclassified as equity.
Further, as a result of adoption on SFAS 160, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is now excluded from the determination of consolidated net income. In addition, foreign currency translation adjustment is allocated between controlling and noncontrolling interests.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of SFAS No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). 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 became effective on January 1, 2009 and has no impact of the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". FAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." SFAS 162 has no impact on the company's financial statements.
In June 2008, FASB issued EITF 08-4, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 ("EITF 08-4"). The objective of EITF 08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, that result from EITF 00-27 "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments", and SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. EITF 08-4 has no impact of the Company's financial statement..
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("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 March 31, 2009.
In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, "Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets". FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model of SFAS 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on "market participant" estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the "market participant" view to a holder's estimate of whether there has been a "probable" adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly". FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157 and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. This FSP shall be applied prospectively with retrospective application not permitted. This FSP shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting this FSP must also early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments". Additionally, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" or FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, it must also elect to early adopt this FSP. We are currently evaluating this new FSP but do not believe that it will have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP amends SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," SFAS 124, "Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations," and EITF 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets," to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. This FSP will replace the existing requirement that the entity's management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. This FSP provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also
requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although this FSP does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. This FSP shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4. Also, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP FAS 157-4 or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, the entity also is required to early adopt this FSP. We are currently evaluating this new FSP but do not believe that it will have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. This FSP amends SFAS 107 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. This FSP applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This FSP shall be effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects . . .
