Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These Consolidated Financial Statements for interim periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for their fair presentation . The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

As Tianshi Holdings and Life Resources were under common control before the combination was consummated, the combination of Life Resources was treated for accounting purposes as a pooling of interests. The balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2007 and comparative interim financial statements for the corresponding periods of the preceding fiscal year were adjusted as if Life Resources had been combined with the Company before January 1, 2007.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. Biological, Tiens Yihai, Life Resources and Dongfeng Biological's financial records are maintained and the statutory financial statements are stated in its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of each reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in other comprehensive income in the statement of income and other comprehensive income.

Translation adjustments amounted to $7,099,628 and $3,773,257 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2,675,768 and $2,383,905 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Asset and liability accounts at June 30, 2008 were translated at 6.87 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 7.31 RMB at December 31, 2007. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 7.07 RMB and 7.71 RMB, respectively. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the period. Therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the moving average basis. The Company reviews its inventory annually for possible obsolete goods or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence.

Employee advances

Employee advances represent cash advances to various employees of the Company. In the PRC, a majority of business transactions are completed in cash. These cash advances represent monies advanced to certain employees to pay for various expenses and purchases related to the Company's daily operations.

Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of advances to suppliers and short-term prepaid expenses. The Company reviews its advances to suppliers annually for determining whether provisions should be provided. The amount included in prepaid expense is net of any provisions. Provisions for prepaid expenses amounted to $928,183 and $872,053 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Buildings and improvements
   
20 years
 
Machinery and equipment
   
10 years

TIENS BIOTECH GROUP (USA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterment to buildings and equipment are capitalized.

Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents the costs incurred in connection with the construction of buildings or new additions to the Company's plant facilities. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and are ready for their intended use.

Construction deposits

Construction deposits represent advances paid by the Company to contractors for the constructions in progress.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets mainly consist of land use rights. All land located in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants "land use rights" for a specified period of time. The Company amortizes its land use rights according to the actual useful life of 50 years. Other intangible assets include patents and trademarks and are amortized over their estimated useful life ranging from five to ten years.

Other assets

Other assets mainly consist of a deposit and a related loan made to a local government agency for the acquisition of land use rights in Shanghai. Originally, the deposit related to the proposed acquisition of land use rights for 263 acres of land by Tiens Yihai. However, on November 10, 2006, Tiens International and the local government entered a supplemental agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to the acquisition of land use rights by Tiens Yihai of a reduced 80 acres parcel of land. As of June 30, 2008, land use rights for only 50 of the 80 acres had been received.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

 
TIENS BIOTECH GROUP (USA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Deferred income

Deferred income consists of two government grants. On August 2, 2005 and November 20, 2006, the Company received two government grants related to land use rights at an amount of RMB 35,803,461 (or US $4,895,049). The grants are treated as deferred income and will be amortized over the life of the buildings on the land.

Minority interest

Minority interest represents the outside shareholder’s 20% ownership of Biological, 20.8% ownership of Dongfeng Biological and 0.6% ownership of Tiens Yihai. The net income shown in Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income is net of minority interest.

Revenue recognition

The Company sells both semi-finished products and finished products to Tianshi Engineering domestically. Revenue from semi-finished products is recognized at FOB Tianjin shipping point. Revenue from finished products is recognized only when the related party Chinese distributors recognize sales of the Company's products to unaffiliated third parties. Revenues in both cases are net of taxes.

For overseas sales, the Company only sells finished products. The Company recognizes revenue from international sales (non-Chinese) to both affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, net of taxes as goods are shipped and clear review by the customs department of the Chinese government.

The Company is generally not contractually obligated to accept returns. However, on a case by case negotiated basis, the Company permits customers to return their products. In accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition when the Right of Return Exists", revenue is recorded net of an allowance for estimated returns. Such reserves are based upon management's evaluation of historical experience and estimated costs. The amount of the reserves ultimately required could differ materially in the near term from amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As the Company did not receive any returns of products during the past three years, no allowance for estimated returns has been recorded as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Advertising Costs

The Company sells all of its products to related parties and these related parties are primarily responsible for marketing. Advertising costs of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $213,468 and $548, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $86,828 and $548, respectively, and were expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs totaled $222,637 and $168,355 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $171,922 and $941 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company sells products on FOB condition, however, it usually prepays shipping and handling expenses to transportation companies on behalf of customers and collects these shipping and handling expenses when it receives payments from customers. The payments received from customers were included in revenue and the related shipping and handling costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include salaries, supplies, and overhead such as depreciation, utilities and other costs. These costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with SFAS No. 2, "Accounting for Research and Development Costs." The Company expensed research and development costs of $613,662 and $351,613 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $   383,052 and $   204,082 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements.

Income taxes

The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN No.48”). FIN No.48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No.48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

According to FIN No.48, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation process, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely than not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statement. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company has not been subjected to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not recognize any amount in interest and penalties. The Company did not accrue any amount for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Earnings per share

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share (“EPS”) as Basic EPS and Diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. There are no differences between Basic and Diluted EPS for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments for the period. The amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity are net of minority interests.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (“SFAS 159”). 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. SFAS   159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial   statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combination" (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets, the liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired in business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. It also determines what information to disclose. The objective of SFAS 141R is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS   141R will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial   statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements- An amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 provides a guide on how to report a non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements. The objective of SFAS 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS   160 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial   statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires an enhanced disclosure about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The objective of SFAS 161 is to provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

TIENS BIOTECH GROUP (USA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deteriorations have occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 163 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Change in reporting entity

On December 20, 2007, Tianshi Holdings entered a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tianshi Investment. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings agreed to buy all of the registered share capital of Life Resources for $64.2 million. The closing of the transaction was subject to government approval of transfer of all of the share capital of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the Chinese government approved the transfer. As Tianshi Holdings and Life Resources were under common control by Jinyuan Li before the combination, the combination was treated for accounting purposes as a pooling of interests. The balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2007 and comparative interim financial statements for the corresponding periods of the preceding fiscal year were adjusted as if Life Resources had been combined before January 1, 2007. The following are unaudited statements of income and other comprehensive income of Life Resources for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Since most of the sales in Life Resources were to the Company, the amounts in the statements of income of Life Resource are not the same as amounts shown as the “Effect of Change” presented in the following comparative interim financial statements.

Historically, Tianshi Engineering remitted payment to the Company upon sales to third party customers. However, to support Tianshi Engineering’s marketing efforts in anticipation of receiving a direct selling license in China, the Company agreed to allow Tianshi Engineering to defer payment to the Company.   The credit terms provide an interest-free credit term of three months.   Balances not remitted to the Company within 90 days are converted to other receivables - related parties. Beginning January 1, 2007, the other receivables - related parties became interest bearing. The stated interest rate is the interest rate for the same level of loan stipulated by the People’s Bank of China.

The Company and Tianshi Group used common meters at the Company’s headquarters for electricity and water, and also used the same employee insurance account. When making payments to these outside parties, the Company usually pays the fees first and then is reimbursed by Tianshi Group. These pro-rated amounts relating to Tianshi Group are categorized as other receivables - related parties. In addition, during 2006 the Company was owed other receivables-related parties in the amount of RMB 7,560,000 ($1,033,603) from Tianjin Juchao Commercial and Trading Co., Ltd (“Juchao”), a related party owned by Jinyuan Li. On March 31, 2006, Juchao declared termination of its operations, and all of its rights and liabilities were transferred to Tianshi Group. This amount was also included in other receivables – related parties as of December 31, 2007.
 
Advances from customers - related parties
 
These advances represent prepayments made to the Company to insure that overseas related companies could obtain enough of the Company’s products to meet their market demands. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, advances from related party customers amounted to $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Other Transactions with Tianshi Investments

On December 20, 2007, Tianshi Holdings entered a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tianshi Investment, Biological and Tianshi Engineering. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings agreed to buy all of the registered share capital of Life Resources from Tianshi Investment for RMB474,674,415 ($64,247,182). The closing of the transaction was subject to government approval of the transfer of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the government approved the transfer.
 
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings advanced a deposit of $64,247,182 to Tianshi Investment on December 20, 2007. This acquisition deposit was settled as follows:

      $28,592,743 was paid by canceling a loan in the principal amount of RMB200,000,000 to Tianshi Engineering owned by Biological together with interest accrued;
      $16,557,914 was paid by canceling of other receivable owned by Tianshi Engineering to Biological; and
      $19,096,525 was paid in cash.

On January 14, 2008, Tianshi Holdings and Tianshi Investment entered a loan agreement pursuant to which Tianshi Holdings loaned Tianshi Investment $4.1 million without interest. The loan was required to be used by Tianshi Investment to increase the registered share capital of Life Resources. The loan was due on June 30, 2008, provided however, that if the government approved the transfer of the shares of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings prior to that date, the loan would be cancelled, as Life Resources would then be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianshi Holdings. The approval was received on March 13, 2008, and therefore, the loan was cancelled on the same date.

TIENS BIOTECH GROUP (USA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Prior to 2008, pursuant to the income tax laws of the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (the "Income Tax Law"), Sino-foreign joint venture enterprises generally were subject to income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their statutory financial statements unless the enterprise is located in specially-designated regions or cities for which more favorable effective rates apply.

Biological is located in Tianjin Wuqing Development Area, a national new technology development zone and is subject to the special reduced income tax rate of 15%. Pursuant to the approval of the relevant PRC tax authorities, Biological was fully exempt from PRC income taxes for two years starting from the year profits were first made, followed by a 7.5% reduced tax rate for the next three years.

Biological started generating taxable profits in the year ended December 31, 2003. Effective January 1, 2005, the two-year 100% exemption for income taxes expired for Biological and it became subject to income tax at a reduced rate of 7.5%, which expired on January 1, 2008.

Tiens Yihai is located in a Special Industry Zone and is subject to a special reduced income tax rate of 15%. Pursuant to the approval of the relevant local Chinese tax authorities, Tiens Yihai was fully exempt from PRC income taxes for two years starting from the first year profits were made, followed by a 7.5% reduced tax rate for the next three years. In addition, in order to encourage Tiens Yihai to do business in the Special Industry Zone, the local Chinese tax authorities agreed to refund 50% of the total income tax after the five-year tax break. As of June 30, 2008, Tiens Yihai was in the developmental stage of its organization and did not have any operating income.

Life Resources is located in Tianjin Wuqing Development Area, a national new technology development zone. Pursuant to the approval of the relevant PRC tax authorities, Life Resources was fully exempt from PRC income taxes for two years starting from the year profits are first made, followed by a 7.5% reduced tax rate for the next three years.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs. According to the new EIT, high-tech companies could be subject to a special reduced tax rate of 15%. The qualification of a high-tech company is to be reviewed annually. Biological currently qualifies as a high-tech company. However, as there is no detailed regulation regarding the implementation of the new EIT, in the first and second quarters of 2008 Biological was required by the local tax authority to prepay income tax at a tax rate of 25%.

According to the new EIT, Life Resources could still be fully exempt from PRC income taxes for two years starting from January 1, 2008, followed by a 12.5% reduced tax rate for the next three years. However, as there is no detailed regulation regarding the implementation of the new EIT, Life Resources was required by local tax authority to prepay income tax at a tax rate of 25% till its tax exemption qualification was approved by the tax authority. The approval is expected to be issued in August 2008 and the prepaid income tax in Life Resources could be refunded after the approval. The prepaid income tax in Life Resources of $734,772 is treated as deferred income taxes in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

  Note 14 – Retirement plan

Regulations in the PRC require the Company to contribute to a defined contribution retirement plan for all employees. All Biological employees are entitled to a retirement pension amount calculated based upon their salary at their date of retirement and their length of service in accordance with a government managed pension plan. The PRC government is responsible for the pension liability to the retired staff.

Biological is required to make contributions to the state retirement plan at 20% of the employees' monthly salary. Employees are required to contribute 8% of their salary to the plan. Total pension expense incurred by the Company amounted to $379,255 and $298,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $192,885 and $153,380 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company also has an unemployment insurance plan for its employees. The plan requires each employee to contribute 1% of his or her salary to the plan. The Company matches the contributions in an amount equal to two times the contribution of each participant. The Company made contributions to the unemployment insurance plan of $37,868 and $29,702 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $19,492 and $15,315 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All contributions are paid to a PRC insurance company, which in turn, is responsible for the unemployment liability. On January 1, 2002, the Company introduced a basic medical insurance plan for its employees. Pursuant to that medical insurance plan, the Company is required to pay an amount equal to 10% of its employees' salary to a PRC insurance company, which amounted to $192,833 and $162,360 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $97,723 and $83,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On April 20, 2004, Tianshi Holdings entered a joint venture contract with Tianshi Pharmaceuticals to establish Tiens Yihai. Tiens Yihai is 99.4% owned by Tianshi Holdings and 0.6% owned by Tianshi Pharmaceuticals. Tiens Yihai is located in Shanghai, China, and was established to build a new research and development facility, which would also produce certain of our products. In October 2004, the Company paid a deposit of $3.6 million to Zhu Jia Jiao Industrial Park Economic Development Ltd (representative of the local government, “Local Government”) for acquiring the land use right of 1,600 mu (263 acres) located in Shanghai. However, in 2005, the Chinese central government issued its “Adjustment of Macro-Economic Policy”. This policy implemented a new system of investment and use of state-owned assets, including land. Pursuant to this policy, local government organizations adjusted and re-allotted projects, including investment, construction and reconstruction of state-owned resources. As a result, projects and enterprises that had been affected, including Tiens Yihai, were awaiting further decisions by state and local government.

On November 10, 2006, Tiens International and the Local Government entered into a supplemental agreement pursuant to which the parties have agreed to the acquisition of land use rights by Tiens Yihai of a reduced 486 mu (80 acres) parcel of land. As of June 30, 2008, land use rights for only 50 of the 80 acres had been received. As a result of the reduction in the number of acres for which we have received land use rights and continued uncertainty relating to the Tiens Yihai project, management made a decision to suspend the development of the project. We are currently reviewing alternative commercial uses for the Tiens Yihai site, as well as the possibility of selling the land use rights to a third party.

On December 20, 2007, Tianshi Holdings entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tianshi International Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Tianshi Investment”). Jinyuan Li owns 100% of Tianshi Investment. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings agreed to buy all of the registered share capital of Life Resources for $64.2 million. The closing of the transaction was subject to government approval of transfer of all of the share capital of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the Chinese government approved the transfer and Tianshi Holdings became the 100% shareholder of Life Resources. Life Resources is currently constructing research and development, manufacturing and logistic facilities, as well as administrative offices totaling approximately 420,000 square meters. We intend to move our headquarters to these new facilities once they are completed.

On May 22, 2008, Biological entered a joint venture contract with Mr. Fulin Zhu to establish Dongfeng Tianshi Biological Development Co., Ltd. (“Dongfeng Biological”). Dongfeng Biological is incorporated in Jilin Province, PRC, and was established to export our products overseas in light of the slow-down and backlog of export clearances arising out of the AQSIQ campaign described in this Quarterly Report. Biological invested RMB 1,980,000 (or US $288,130) in Dongfeng Biological and owns 99% of Dongfeng Biological and Mr. Fulin Zhu owns the remaining 1%. Mr. Fulin Zhu, a resident of Jilin Province, is not a related party. As of June 30, 2008, Dongfeng Biological had not conducted any operations. The Company is evaluating whether to use Dongfeng Biological in the future to address the export restrictions.

We research, develop, and manufacture nutrition supplement products, including wellness products and dietary supplement products. Our operations are conducted from our headquarters in Tianjin, China through our subsidiary, Biological. We develop our products at our product research and development center, which employs highly qualified professionals in the fields of pharmacology, biology, chemistry and fine chemistry. We have developed and produce 33 nutrition supplement products, which include wellness products and dietary nutrition supplements.

In China, we sell our products to Tianshi Engineering, an affiliated company. Tianshi Engineering, in turn, sells the products to customers through its branches and affiliated companies and at chain stores which are owned by individual distributors. Outside of China, we sell our products to overseas affiliated companies located in 52 countries that in turn sell them to independent direct sales distributors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

On December 20, 2007, Tianshi Holdings entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tianshi Investment. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings agreed to buy all of the registered share capital of Life Resources for $64.2 million. The closing of the transaction was subject to government approval of transfer of all of the share capital of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the Chinese government approved the transfer. As Tianshi Holdings and Life Resources were under common control by Jinyuan Li before the combination, the combination was treated for accounting purposes as a pooling of interests. The balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2007 and comparative interim financial statements for the corresponding periods of the preceding fiscal year were adjusted as if Life Resources had been combined with the Company before January 1, 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue was $32.5 million, an increase of 6.3% compared to $30.6 million for the same period in 2007.

For the second quarter of 2008, revenue in China was $8.5 million, an increase of 65.6% compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2007. This increase was due to increased marketing efforts in China and to the increase in the value of the renminbi against the dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue in China was $14.6 million, an 18.4% increase compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2007. The growth in revenue during the second quarter was offset by a 15% decrease in revenue in China during the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2008, we believe that sales in China were negatively impacted by continued uncertainty in China regarding the impact of direct selling regulations and uncertainty regarding the timing of the direct selling license application process and approval.
 
For the second quarter of 2008, international revenue was $11.1 million, an increase of 21.4% compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2007. In August 2007, China’s Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (“AQSIQ”) announced an ongoing national campaign in China against unsafe food and substandard products. The special campaign against poor product quality was launched in response to a series of safety scares involving Chinese products worldwide. The campaign set 20 detailed goals, including twelve "100 percents". For example, 100 percent of food producers should be licensed; 100 percent of agricultural wholesale markets in cities must be monitored; 100 percent of suppliers of raw materials for exported products should be inspected; and 100 percent of agricultural products must be free of five types of strong pesticides. The campaign, which was originally scheduled to finish at the end of 2007, is currently scheduled to continue throughout 2008.

As a result of this campaign by the AQSIQ, there has been a general slow-down and backlog of export clearances for Chinese food products, and, from August 2007 through the first quarter of 2008, we experienced significant delays in obtaining export clearance for all of the products which we sell to our international affiliates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2008, these export restrictions were reduced for exports to countries in Africa and Asia, but remained in place for exports to countries in Europe and the Americas. To facilitate the export of our product in the future, in May 2008 we established a new subsidiary, Dongfeng Biological in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province. To date, Dongfeng Biological has not yet conducted any operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, international revenue was $17.9 million, a decrease of 1.9% compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2007. This decrease reflects the impact of the export restrictions, which were introduced in third quarter of 2007, on the first quarter of 2008, offset by the increase in international revenue in the second quarter of 2008 due to a reduction on the export restrictions in that period.

Cost of Sales . Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2008 increased to $6.2 million, or by 39.3%, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2007. This increase was in line with the increase in revenue for the period and was due to both the increase in sales and the increase in the value of the renminbi against the dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cost of sales was $10.2 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2007. Cost of sales for the period increased at a greater rate than revenue primarily due to increases in the costs of raw materials.
 
Gross Profit . Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 was $13.5 million, an increase of 36.3% compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit was $22.2 million, an increase of 2.6% compared to the same period in 2007. The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 68.4%, compared to 68.9% for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the gross profit margin was 68.5% compared to 70.9% for the same period in 2007. This decrease reflects the increase in the cost of our raw materials while the price at which we sell our products has remained constant.

Selling, general and administrative expenses . Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 50.2% compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2007. The selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 25% for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 23.7% for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.3 million, an increase of 25.3% compared to $6.7 million in the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 25.7%, compared to 21.8% for the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salary and insurance expenses, advertising, research and development expenses, general administration expenses relating to the construction of the Life Resources project, and the appreciation of the renminbi.

Other income (expense), net . Other income (expense), net was $1.1 million of expense for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $0.4 million of income for the same period in 2007. The difference was primarily due to a $1.2 million donation we made in June 2008 towards the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income (expense), net was $0.6 of expense compared to $0.9 million income for the same period in 2007. The difference was primarily due to interest earned on a RMB200 million (or approximately $29.4 million) loan which we made to Engineering and which was paid off in December 2007.
Provision for income taxes . Provision for income taxes was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, provision for income taxes was $3.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2007. From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007, Biological was subject to income tax at a reduced rate of 7.5%. Beginning on January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the previous laws for Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). A new standard EIT rate of 25% will apply to FIEs. According to the new EIT, high-tech companies could be subject to a special reduced tax rate of 15%. The qualification of a high-tech company is to be reviewed annually. Biological currently qualifies as a high-tech company. However, as there are not yet any detailed regulations regarding the implementation of the new EIT and in the first and second quarters of 2008, Biological was required by the local tax authority to prepay income tax at a tax rate of 25%.

Net income . As a result of the foregoing factors, and primarily the increase in general administration expenses relating to the construction of the Life Resources project, the increase in income tax rate, and the donation we made towards the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts, net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $4.6 million, a decrease of 7.0% compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net income was $8.3 million, a decrease of 28.3% compared to the same period in 2007.

Other comprehensive income . Other comprehensive income increased to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2007. Other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments for the year. Accumulated other comprehensive income was recorded in Biological, Tiens Yihai and Life Resources due to balance sheet translations. Accumulated other comprehensive income was recorded in Tianshi Holdings due to the effect of foreign exchange rate on dividend receivables from Biological. The amounts shown in the Income Statement are net of minority interests. The sharp increase in other comprehensive income was due to the increase in the value of the renminbi against the dollar from RMB7.71 to $1 at June 30, 2007 to RMB6.87 to $1 at June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other comprehensive income was $7.1 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2007.

  Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including funding for expansion of operations, through net cash flow provided by operating activities. Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow.


Net cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $9.9 million for the same period of 2007. The decrease reflects a decrease in net income of $3.3 million in the two comparable periods. In addition, accounts receivable-related parties increased by $8.9 million to $23.2 million as of June 30, 2008 from $14.3 million as of December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue during the second quarter of 2008. Other receivable-related parties decreased to $11.8 million as of June 30, 2008 from $13.9 million as of December 31, 2007.

As of June 30, 2008, we had positive working capital of $57.8 million. Cash was $47.7 million as of June 30, 2008, compared to $54.1 million as of December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, compared to $10.5 million for the same period of 2007. During the first six months of 2008, we received a loan from Tianshi Investment in the amount of $6.9 million relating to Life Resources. During the same period in 2007, a capital contribution of $18.0 million was provided to Life Resources by Tianshi Investment, its parent company at that time.
   
Going forward, our primary requirements for cash consist of:

 
o
construction by Life Resources of new research and development, manufacturing and logistic facilities, and administrative offices;

 
o
the continued production of existing products and general overhead and personnel related expenses to support these activities;

 
o
the development costs of new products; and

 
o
expansion of production scale to meet the demands of our markets.

We estimate that the completion of the Life Resources project will require approximately $220 million, including the $64 million already spent to acquire all of the registered share capital of Life Resources and $12 million spent on the project in the first six months of 2008. We intend to construct the facilities in phases over several years, based on available cash and capacity needs. Depending on the rate of construction and our cash flow, it is likely that we will require additional financing in the future to complete the long-term funding requirements of that project. However, we anticipate that our current operating activities will enable us to meet our anticipated cash requirements, including the Life Resources project, for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following reflect the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue recognition .
 
The Company sells both semi-finished products and finished products to Tianshi Engineering domestically. Revenue from semi-finished products was recognized at FOB Tianjin shipping point. Revenue from finished products was recognized only when the related party Chinese distributors recognize sales of the Company's products to unaffiliated third parties. Revenues in both cases are net of value added taxes.


For overseas sales, the Company only sells finished products. The Company recognizes revenue from international sales (non-Chinese) to both affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, net of value added taxes as goods are shipped and clear review by the customs department of the Chinese government.

The Company is generally not contractually obligated to accept returns. However, on a case by case negotiated basis, the Company permits customers to return their products. In accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition when the Right of Return Exists", revenue is recorded net of an allowance for estimated returns. Such reserves are based upon management's evaluation of historical experience and estimated costs. The amount of the reserves ultimately required could differ materially in the near term from amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As the Company did not receive any returns of products during the past three years, no allowance for estimated returns has been recorded as of June 30, 2008.
 
Bad debts .
 
Our business operations are conducted primarily in China. During the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers, all of whom are affiliated parties. Management reviews our accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate at each fiscal year end. We record a provision for accounts receivable at 0.5% of our outstanding accounts receivable balance.
 
Inventories .
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the moving average basis. We review our inventory annually for possible obsolete goods or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence.

SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company is evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.



In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deteriorations has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 163 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
We market all of our products through various domestic and international business entities that are related to us through common ownership. As a result, all of our consolidated sales are to related parties.

We have a sales contract with Tianshi Engineering which requires Tianshi Engineering to purchase all of our products to be sold in China. We sell our finished products to Tianshi Engineering at a price equal to 25% of the Chinese market price for the products. This 25% figure was negotiated between the parties in 2003, before we acquired Tianshi Holdings, and we believe that it is a reasonable sales price for us to receive. The price of semi-finished goods sold to Tianshi Engineering was originally set at the beginning of 2006 to provide us with a 75% gross profit margin. However, based on fluctuations in the cost of raw materials and quantities produced, the gross profit margin percentage varied during the year. This 75% figure was negotiated between the parties, and we believe that it is reasonable. The goal of this new pricing policy was to try to maintain the Company’s gross margins on semi-finished goods at a similar level to historical gross margins for finished goods. All of Tianshi Engineering’s Chinese affiliated companies are owned in whole or in part by Jinyuan Li’s immediate family members.

Internationally, we sell our products to overseas related companies located in 52 countries, which in turn sell them to independent direct sales distributors. Our CEO, Jinyuan Li, owns or controls these overseas related companies. Due to the common ownership, there are no formal sales or administrative agreements among us and those overseas related parties. The business operations among these related entities are regulated through internal policies.
Our related party transactions are required to be reviewed and approved or ratified by a majority of our non-interested Board of Directors. The following tables are provided to facilitate your understanding of the transactions and outstanding balances between those related parties and us.

Historically, Tianshi Engineering remitted payment to us upon sales to third party customers. However, in order to support Tianshi Engineering’s marketing efforts in anticipation of receiving a direct selling license in China, we have agreed to allow Tianshi Engineering to defer payment to us. The credit terms provide an interest-free credit term of three months. Balances not remitted to us within 90 days are converted to other receivables - related parties. Beginning on January 1, 2007, the other receivables - related parties became interest bearing. The stated interest rate is the interest rate for the same level of loan stipulated by the People’s Bank of China.
 
We and Tianshi Group used common meters at our headquarters for electricity and water, and also used the same employee insurance account. When making payments to these outside parties, we usually pay the fees first and then are reimbursed by Tianshi Group. These pro-rated amounts relating to Tianshi Group are categorized as other receivables - related parties. In addition, during 2006 we were owed other receivables-related parties in the amount of RMB 7,560,000 ($1,033,603) from Tianjin Juchao Commercial and Trading Co., Ltd (“Juchao”), a related party owned by Jinyuan Li. On March 31, 2006, Juchao declared termination of its operations, and all of its rights and liabilities were transferred to Tianshi Group. This amount was also included in other receivables - related parties as of December 31, 2007.

On December 21, 2007, the Company, Tianshi Investment and Life Resources entered a Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Tianshi Investment loaned $7.5 million to Life Resources without interest. The Company agreed to repay the $7.5 million to Tianshi Investment within five days of the date of the government approval of the transfer of the shares of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the Chinese government approved the transfer and the Company repaid $7.5 million to Tianshi Investment on March 18, 2008 by canceling $7.5 million of accounts receivable owed to it by Tianshi Engineering.

On January 21, 2008, Life Resources and Tianshi Investment entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which Tianshi Investment provided a loan to Life Resources for $6.5 million without interest. The loan was due on June 30, 2008. On June 30, 2008, the parties agreed to extend the loan until December 31, 2008. Life Resources used the loan to increase its registered share capital.

Long Term Debt - Related Party

On September 10, 2004, Tianshi Holdings entered a term loan agreement with Tianyuan Capital Development Co. Ltd. ("Tianyuan Capital"), pursuant to which Tianyuan Capital agreed to lend $10.65 million (in aggregate principal amount) to Tianshi Holdings, at an interest rate of 5% per year, with interest payable on June 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2004. Tianshi Holdings must repay the loan in ten consecutive semi-annual installments of $1,065,000 ending June 30, 2011. Tianshi Holdings used the loan proceeds to fund its capital contribution to Tiens Yihai. Mr. Jinyuan Li owns 100% of Tianyuan Capital.

Other Transactions with Tianshi Engineering

On December 31, 2005, Biological entered into four lease agreements with Tianshi Engineering which enabled Tianshi Engineering to share the use of certain of Biological’s product production workshops and equipment to manufacture products which Tianshi Engineering owns, or jointly owns, with Biological, for one year beginning January 1, 2006. These four lease agreements were renewed in December 2006 for the 2007 fiscal year and on October 17, 2007 for the 2008 fiscal year. Rent revenue from these leases amounted to $160,929 and $187,275 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Other Transactions with Tianshi Group

Since 2003, Biological has leased office space and manufacturing facilities from Tianshi Group. The lease provides for an annual rent equal to 1% of our total gross revenues. The rent was negotiated by the parties before we acquired Tianshi Holdings, and we believe that it is a reasonable rent for the facilities. The term of the lease was for five years and expired on December 31, 2007. In addition, we are obligated to pay insurance, maintenance and other expenses related to the premises. We entered into a new one-year lease agreement with Tianshi Group, effective January 1, 2008 covering the same facilities and having identical rent terms. The total amount paid on this lease for six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $399,632 and $319,832, respectively.

Transactions with Tianshi Investments

On December 20, 2007, Tianshi Holding entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Tianshi Investment, Biological and Tianshi Engineering. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Tianshi Holdings agreed to buy all of the registered share capital of Life Resources from Tianshi Investment for RMB474,674,415 ($64,247,182). The closing of the transaction was subject to government approval of the transfer of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. On March 13, 2008, the government approved the transfer.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, we advanced a deposit of $64,247,182 to Tianshi Investment on December 20, 2007. This acquisition deposit was settled as follows:

 
o
$28,592,743 was paid by canceling a loan in the principal amount of RMB200,000,000 to Tianshi Engineering owned by Biological together with interest accrued;

 
o
$16,557,914 was paid by canceling of other receivable owned by Tianshi Engineering to Biological; and

 
o
$19,096,525 was paid in cash.

On December 21, 2007, Tianshi Holdings and Tianshi Investment entered into a Capital Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which Tianshi Investment agreed to fund a capital increase of Life Resources in the amount of $7.5 million. Tianshi Holdings agreed to pay back the $7.5 million to Tianshi Investment within five days of the date of the government approval of the transfer of the shares of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings. The approval was received on March 13, 2008 and the $7.5 million was paid back on March 18, 2008, by canceling $7.5 million of accounts receivable owed to us by Tianshi Engineering.

On January 14, 2008, Tianshi Holdings and Tianshi Investment entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which Tianshi Holdings loaned Tianshi Investment $4.1 million without interest. The loan was required to be used by Tianshi Investment to increase the registered share capital of Life Resources. The loan was due on March 31, 2008, provided however, that if the government approved the transfer of the shares of Life Resources to Tianshi Holdings prior to that date, the loan would be cancelled, as Life Resources would then be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianshi Holdings. The approval was received on March 13, 2008, and therefore, the loan was cancelled on the same date.


MANAGEMENT ASSUMPTIONS
 
Management anticipates, based on internal forecasts and assumptions relating to our current operations, that existing cash and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital for at least the next 12 months. In the event that plans change, our assumptions change or prove inaccurate or if other capital resources and projected cash flow otherwise prove to be insufficient to fund operations (due to unanticipated expense, technical difficulties, or otherwise), we could be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to it, or at all.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
 
We are subject to commodity price risks arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of the various raw materials that comprise our products. Price risks are managed by each business unit through productivity improvements and cost-containment measures. For the time being, management does not believe that inflation risk is material to our business or our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
EFFECT OF FLUCTUATION IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
 
Our operating subsidiary, Biological, is located in China, and buys all of its raw materials in China and sells our products in China using the renminbi as the functional currency. Based on Chinese government regulations, all foreign currencies under the category of current accounts are allowed to be freely exchanged with hard currencies. As of June 30, 2008, the exchange rate was $1 = RMB 6.87 compared to $1 = RMB 7.31 as of December 31, 2007.

Substantially all our revenues and expenses are denominated in the renminbi. However, we use the dollar for financial reporting purposes. The value of renminbi against the dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. As our operations are primarily in China, any significant revaluation of the renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert dollars into renminbi for our operations, appreciation of this currency against the dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Conversely, if we decide to convert our renminbi into dollars for other business purposes and the dollar appreciates against this currency, the dollar equivalent of the renminbi would be reduced.

Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations or financial condition. Currently we have not entered agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including our consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
Our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates those risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K.

A RECENT CAMPAIGN IMPOSED BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE EXPORT OF UNSAFE FOOD AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS, IS HINDERING OUR ABILITY TO EXPORT OUR PRODUCTS INTERNATIONALLY.

In August 2007, China’s Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (“AQSIQ”) announced an ongoing national campaign in China against unsafe food and substandard products. The special campaign against poor product quality was launched in response to a series of safety scares involving Chinese products worldwide. The campaign set 20 detailed goals, including twelve "100 percents". For example, 100 percent of food producers should be licensed; 100 percent of agricultural wholesale markets in cities must be monitored; 100 percent of suppliers of raw materials for exported products should be inspected; and 100 percent of agricultural products must be free of five types of strong pesticides. The campaign, which was originally scheduled to finish at the end of 2007, is currently scheduled to continue throughout 2008.

As a result of this campaign by the AQSIQ, there has been a general slow-down and backlog of export clearances for Chinese food products, and from August 2007 through the first quarter of 2008, we experienced significant delays in obtaining export clearance for all of the products which we sell to our international affiliates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2008, these export restrictions were reduced for exports to countries in Africa and Asia, but remained in place for exports to countries in Europe and the Americas. To facilitate the export of our products, in May 2008 we established a new subsidiary, Dongfeng Biological, in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province. To date, Dongfeng Biological has not conducted any operations. The Company is evaluating whether to use Dongfeng Biological in the future to address the export restrictions.

We believe that these restrictions have resulted in some of our international affiliates not being able to purchase sufficient quantities of our products to meet their demand, resulting in a loss of sales. Continued delays in the export clearance for our products may continue to result in us not being able to meet the demand for our products from our international affiliates and future loss of sales. Currently we are not able to provide an estimate as to the timing for the clearance of our products for export.

UNCERTAINTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIRECT SELLING REGULATIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS IN CHINA.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China, and approximately 56.0%, 40.5% and 40.9% of our revenues in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, were derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our operations are subject, to a significant degree, to Chinese law. In China, we are aiming to expand our market share through the branches, chain stores, and affiliated companies of Tianshi Engineering, our affiliate who sells our products in China. Because direct selling was only recently authorized in China, the regulatory environment with respect to direct selling in this market remains fluid and the process for obtaining the necessary governmental approvals have been interpreted differently by different governmental authorities. The direct selling regulations require Tianshi Engineering to apply for approval to conduct a direct selling enterprise in China.

- 49 -


Tianshi Engineering has applied for a direct selling license in a number of provinces and must obtain a series of approvals from the Departments of Commerce in such provinces, as well as the Departments of Commerce in each city and district in which we plan to operate. Tianshi Engineering is also required to obtain the approval of the State Ministry of Commerce, which is the national government authority overseeing direct selling.

Tianshi Engineering has found that it is taking more time than anticipated to work through the approval process with the Chinese authorities. These authorities have broad discretion in interpreting the regulations and granting necessary approvals. A delay in obtaining approvals at one level can delay our ability to obtain approvals at the next level. The complexity of the approval process as well as the government’s continued cautious approach as direct selling develops in China makes it difficult to predict a timeline for obtaining these approvals. If Tianshi Engineering does not receive a direct selling license in China, then its ability to compete against its competitors who have received such a license may be hurt. As a result, Tianshi Engineering may lose distributors who find a competitor’s direct selling business and compensation model more attractive. This could materially decrease the revenue that we receive from sales by Tianshi Engineering in China.
