NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Nature of Operations – China Pharma Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owns 100% of Onny Investment Limited (Onny), a British Virgin Islands corporation, that in turn owns 100% of Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd (Helpson), which is organized under the laws of The People's Republic of China (the PRC). China Pharma Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the Company.

Through Helpson, the Company manufactures and markets generic and branded pharmaceutical products primarily to hospitals and private retailers located throughout the PRC. The Company has and continues to acquire well-accepted medical formulas to a diverse portfolio of Western and Chinese medicines. Helpson also manufactures biochemical products, health products and cosmetics.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Helpson’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi. Helpson’s revenue and expenses are translated into United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses from translating Helpson’s financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that is party to the transaction are included in the results of operations.

Condensed Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (Management) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable - During 2009, the Company determined that its previous estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable was overstated. Based on an analysis of the economy and the pharmaceutical industry's bad debt experience rate, the Company revised its estimate of the doubtful accounts at September 30, 2009, which resulted in a net bad debt benefit during the nine months then ended of $2,101,710.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share - Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable dilutive common shares.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. If certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of these accounting standards to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires the disclosure of roll forward activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, depreciation expense was $199,727 and $178,954, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, depreciation expense was $588,395 and $403,569, respectively.
 
NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the costs of patents, trademarks, licenses, techniques and medical formulas. Medical formulas are amortized over the expected life of the related medicine once production and sales commence. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $228,840 and $248,491 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was $682,856 and $582,741 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 5 – ADVANCES FOR PURCHASES OF INTANGIBLE ASSSETS AND PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In order to expand the number of medicines manufactured and marketed by the Company, the Company has entered into purchase contracts with independent laboratories and university laboratories. The contracts are for the purchase of established medical formulas for which the related patents have expired (generic medicines). Prior to entering into the contracts, the laboratories typically have completed all required research and development to determine the medical formula for and the method of production of the generic medicine. If the Company enters into a contract prior to the determination of the medical formula for a medicine, contract costs incurred to establish the medical formula are recognized as research and development expense. The contracts with the laboratories are primarily for certification of the manufacturing process and authorization by the State Food and Drug Administration (the SFDA) to sell the generic medicines. Under the terms of each contract, the Company is required to make progress payments to the laboratory; however, the payments are fully refundable in the event that the laboratory fails to obtain SFDA certification of the generic medicine under the contract. Payments made prior to the completion of the related process are recorded as advances for purchases of intangible assets.

The Company is also increasing production capabilities with new machinery and facilities. As is common in the PRC, the Company prepays for much of the machinery and construction supplies. The prepayments are capitalized as advances for purchases of property and equipment until the construction begins or the machinery is delivered to the Company.
 
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, a member of the Company’s board of directors advanced the Company $227,903.  Total advances owing to the board member were $303,644 and $75,741 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and are recorded as other payables – related parties on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into revolving line of credit with a bank, with the related note payable bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.31% and collateralized by certain land use rights, buildings, machinery and equipment. The revolving line of credit was paid in full during the third quarter of 2010.

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit with a bank in the amount of RMB 25,000,000 (approximately $3.7 million), with the related note payable bearing interest at an annual rate of 6.116%. Advances on the line of credit are due one year from the date of the advance and collateralized by certain land use right and buildings. The outstanding balance due under the revolving line of credit was RMB 20,000,000 (approximately $2,985,921 at September 30, 2010. This amount has been classified as short-term notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010.  The Company has an additional RMB 5,000,000 (approximately $0.7 million) available to it under the line of credit.
 
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Undistributed earnings of Helpson, the Company’s foreign subsidiary, since its acquisition, amounted to approximately $77.6 million at September 30, 2010. Those earnings, as well as the investment in Helpson of approximately $23.3 million, are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal or state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes (net of an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the PRC. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES

Economic environment - Significantly all of the Company's operations are conducted in the PRC, and therefore the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate. The Company's results from operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The unfavorable changes in global macroeconomic factors may also adversely affect the Company’s operations.

In addition, all of the Company's revenue is denominated in the PRC's currency of Renminbi (RMB), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of the PRC. Both the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government.

Business Overview
 
           We are principally engaged in the development, manufacture, packaging, marketing and distribution of generic and branded pharmaceutical products for a wide range of high incidence and high mortality conditions in The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  All of our operations are conducted in the PRC, where our 8,000-square-meter manufacturing facility is located.  With eight different production lines, we have the capability to manufacture pharmaceutical products in the form of dry powder injectables, liquid injectables, tablets, capsules, oral solutions and granules. Over 90% of our pharmaceutical products are sold on a prescription basis and have been approved for at least one or more therapeutic indications by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (the “SFDA”) based upon demonstrated safety and efficacy.
 
           At September 30, 2010, we manufactured 20 pharmaceutical products for a wide variety of diseases and medical indications, each of which may be classified into one of three general categories: a basic generic drug, which is a common drug in the PRC marketplace for which there is a very large market, a “super” or “first to market” generic drug, which is a generic Western drug that is new to the PRC marketplace, and a modern Traditional Chinese Medicine, which generally is a non-synthetic, plant-based medicinal compound of the type that has been widely used in the PRC for thousands of years, to which we apply modern production techniques to produce a pharmaceutical product in different formulations, such as tablets, capsules or powders.  In selecting generic drugs to develop and manufacture, we consider several factors, including the number of other manufacturers currently producing the particular drug, the size of the market, the proposed or required method of distribution, the existing and expected pricing for the particular drug in the marketplace, the costs of manufacturing that drug, and the costs of acquiring or developing the formula for that drug. We believe we have historically selected to manufacture generic drugs that have very large addressable markets and higher profit margins relative to other drugs being manufactured and distributed in the PRC.
 
 
 
12

 
 
 
           In 2002, we built, and we currently own and operate, an approximately 8,000-square-meter manufacturing facility in Haikou, Hainan Province that supports eight modern, scalable production lines. We implement quality control procedures in compliance with standards for Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP standards, and applicable SFDA regulations to ensure consistent quality in our products.
 
           We market and sell our products through 16 sales offices covering all major cities and provinces in China.  To comply with applicable Chinese law relating to sales of prescription drugs to certain hospitals and clinics, we also use a distribution system comprised of approximately 1,250 independent regional distributors.  We have grown significantly in recent years, with our net revenues increasing from $8.7 million in 2005 to $61.7 million in 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 63% during this period.  Our net revenues increased by $8.3 million, or by 20%, to $50.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the comparable period of 2009.  Our net income increased from $3.8 million in 2005 to $20.2 million in 2009, representing a CAGR of 52% during this period. Our net income decreased by $0.07 million to $15.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the comparable period of 2009, due to a one-time adjustment of our estimate for bad debt allowance in the third quarter of 2009. Without giving effect to this one-time adjustment, our net income for the nine-month period in 2010 would have been approximately 20% higher than the comparable period in 2009.
 
We often have a seasonal pattern in our sales revenues throughout the year for a variety of reasons, including 1) the higher rates of occurrence of cerebral/cardio diseases and flu in the winter season and 2) Chinese New Year being in the first quarter. As a result, our fourth quarter revenues tend to be higher and our first quarter revenues tend to be lower.
 
           We have a strong focus on bringing new and first-to-market generic medicines to market through the purchase of medical formulas from research institutions as well as our own in-house research and development activities.  As of September 30, 2010, in addition to our portfolio of 20 commercialized products, we had nine drugs at different stages of  the registration process, including three which had passed SFDA technical analysis and entered clinical trials (including a new anti-drug-resistance antibiotic product), as follows:
 
 
 
13

 
 
 
·  
During the third quarter of 2010, we completed the Phase I clinical trials of our novel cephalosporin-based combination antibiotic. In Phase I, the clinical trials focused on the study of clinical pharmacology as well as the evaluation of safety on the human body, through observing tolerance and pharmacokinetics to provide support for dosage and drug delivery design. Phase II of the trial has commenced.
 
·  
We completed the clinical trials earlier this year for Candesartan, a front-line drug therapy we developed for the treatment of hypertension. Since then, we have completed all testing procedures for this new product, and we are currently waiting for the final production approval from the SFDA.
 
·  
We continue to receive positive feedback from patients during our clinical trial of Rosuvastatin, a generic form of Crestor we are developing. The majority of the patients in the clinical trial have completed the treatment cycle, and the final phase of the trial is near completion.
 
           In addition to the products mentioned above, we have several other products that focus on our main therapeutic areas pending SFDA technical review and plan to initiate clinical trials in the near future. We are also evaluating additional opportunities on an ongoing basis, directed by the organic growth and market demands of China's pharmaceutical market. We are working closely with several pharmaceutical research institutions and universities and remain focused on creating a steady increase in new products and, in turn, revenue.  We remain focused on improving our product portfolio and increasing our internal growth, maintaining and developing new marketing channels, and using our existing retail network in the expanding markets in the PRC to raise our overall market share. The organic growth of the Chinese pharmaceutical market has had a positive affect on, and will continue to direct, our company's development.
 
           The growth of China’s pharmaceutical market is driven by China’s rapid economic growth. Increased healthcare spending by the Chinese government to reform the healthcare system has already greatly improved the accessibility to and desire for medical care. Important additional factors include: the aging of the population and the resulting increase in age-related disorders; the urban migration of the population; and improved awareness of self-health care.
 
           The Healthcare Reform program announced last year by the Chinese government is now in its implementation stage. After the official announcement of the Essential Drugs List (“EDL”) in late 2009, we have seen gradual but meaningful and notable increases in demand for the EDL products. While the Healthcare Reform is unquestionably moving forward, the pace of implementation varies significantly from province to province.  As a result, the effect of the pricing regulations also have varied significantly from province to province.
 
           We continue to believe that the regulators in the PRC want to see prices of the essential drugs affordable, on the one hand, but permit drug companies a fair profit on the other hand. We think we are well positioned in the current environment, as our product portfolio is well diversified. Pricing or volume changes of one single product should not have a material impact on our overall profitability. Furthermore, our management team has been in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry for more than 20 years, and it is very experienced at adapting to changes. We will seek to remain flexible with our product mix to achieve our profitability goals.

           On a year-over-year basis, we continued to experience healthy revenue growth during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. We continued to achieve strong performance in the “Digestive Diseases” category with continued strong sales of Omeprazole, the generic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERDdrug we launched in the fourth quarter of 2009. Sales of Omeprazole during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $1.04 million. The strong growth in our “Other” category came from higher sales of Granistron and of Vitamin B6, which is one of the two products we produce that is on the National EDL. We continue to see rising demand in EDL-listed products and also limited pressure on pricing. We are optimistic on our ability to capture new markets and continue to carefully manage our product mix. The revenues of our CNS Cerebral and Cardio Vascular category increased by 5% during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same quarter last year with strong performances coming from our Ozagrel and Gastrodin Injection products. Revenues derived from our products in our “Anti-Viro/Infection & Respiratory” category decreased by 2%, but still remained at a relatively high level.
 
Cost of Revenue

           For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our cost of revenue was $11.1 million, or 59% of total revenue, compared to $9.0 million, or 58% of total revenue during the comparable period of 2009.  The increase in cost of revenue during the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to higher volume of products sold for the 2010 period.

Gross Profit

           Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $7.6 million, which was approximately 17% higher compared to $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. Our gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 40.8%, compared to 42.2% in the corresponding quarter of 2009. The lower gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2010 was due to a higher volume of lower-margin products sold compared to the same period a year ago and also overall pricing pressure from the Healthcare Reform.

Selling Expenses

           Our selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $0.45 million, a decrease of approximately $358,000, or 44%, compared to $0.81 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Selling expenses were approximately 2.5% of revenue in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 5.2% during the comparable quarter a year ago. Our selling expenses typically vary between 2.5% to 5% of total revenue.

General Administrative Expenses

           Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.87 million, an increase of $0.35 million, or 68%, compared to $0.52 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in our general and administrative expense was in part due to an increase of share-based compensation expense and the amortization expenses for our drug formulas during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Bad Debt Expense

           Due to the peculiarity of the Chinese pharmaceutical market environment, deferred payments to pharmaceutical companies by state-owned hospitals and local medicine distributors are a normal phenomenon. Over 90% of our drugs are sold to state-owned hospitals and local medicine distributors, which creates slow collections of our trade receivables. Since most hospitals in China are backed by the government, management believes the deferred payments from hospitals are secure and will eventually be collected.  Historically, we have not written-off any receivables in our 17-year history of doing business with hospitals.

           As of September 30, 2010, our bad debt allowance for accounts receivable was $2.98 million compared to $2.83 million as of June 30, 2010.  The increase of $107,186 in our bad debt allowance during the third quarter represented a corresponding increase in our bad debt expense for the quarter.
Income from Operations

           Our operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $6.2 million, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2009, which represented a decrease of $1.9 million, or 23%.  The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the effect of a one-time adjustment in our bad debt allowance that created a benefit of $2.8 million in the corresponding quarter one year ago.

Income Tax Expense

           Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.67 million, compared with $0.87 million in the same quarter a year ago. The corporate tax rate for our operating subsidiary in China was 11%, which will remain the same through the end of this year.  In 2011, the corporate tax rate for our operating subsidiary will increase to 24%. We are currently applying for the “National High-tech Enterprise” status. The management is optimistic that we will get this designation in the coming months, and if we do, our corporate tax rate will be at 15% for three years starting from 2011.

Net Income

           Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $1.68 million, or approximately 23%, to $5.5 million from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 included the positive effect of a one-time $2.8 million adjustment of our bad debt allowance as discussed above. Without the effect of this one-time adjustment, management estimates that the net income for the third quarter of 2009 would have been $4.26 million. On this more comparable basis, our net income for the third quarter of 2010 would have been 29% higher than the same period a year ago.  The non-GAAP measures of the operating results of the comparable periods in 2009, excluding the approximate impact of the one-time bad debt estimate change, are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the following table.

           On a year -over -year basis, we continued to experience healthy revenue growth during the first nine months of 2010.  We saw strong performance from the “Digestive Disease” category as sales of both Tiopronin and Omeprazole, the products we launched in the second and fourth quarters of 2009, respectively, began to rise.  The sales increase in our “Other” category came from higher sales of Vitamin B6, which is one of the two products that we produce that is on the National EDL, starting in the second quarter of 2010. Sales of products in our “Anti-Viro/Infection & Respiratory” grew 14% for the nine months ending September 30, 2010, while sales of our CNS Cerebral and Cardio Vascular category rose slightly compared to 2009.
 
Cost of Revenue

           For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenue was $29.6 million, or 59% of total revenue, compared to $23.7 million, or 56% of total revenue during the comparable period of 2009.  The increase in cost revenues during the 2010 period was primarily due to higher revenue for the 2010 period.

Gross Profit

           Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $20.8 million, which was approximately 13% higher compared to the $18.4 million for the first nine months of 2009. Our gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2010 was 41.3%, compared to 43.7% in the first nine months of 2009. The slightly lower gross profit margin in the first nine months of 2010 was mainly due to a higher volume of lower-margin products sold compared to the same period a year ago.

Selling Expenses

           Our selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $1.65 million, as compared to $2.01 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Selling expenses were approximately 3.3% of revenue in the first nine months of 2010 compared to 4.8% a year ago. Our selling expenses typically vary between 2.5% to 5% of total revenue.

General Administrative Expenses

           Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.42 million, an increase of $0.86 million, or 55%, compared to $1.56 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in our general and administrative expense was in part due to an increase of share-based compensation expense and amortization expenses for our drug formulas during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period a year ago.
 
Bad Debt Expense

           Our bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.22 million, compared to a bad debt benefit of $2.10 million in the first nine months of 2009.

           During 2009, we reviewed and revised our bad debt allowance estimate to align our estimates to be more in line with our experience and also industry collection standards.

Income from Operations

           Our operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $17.0 million, which is roughly flat compared to $16.9 million for the same period in 2009 The slight increase in operating income was mainly due to the effect of a one-time adjustment in our bad debt allowance which created a benefit of $2.8 million in the third quarter one year ago.

Income Tax Expense

           Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.8 million, compared to $1.7 million in the same period a year ago.

Net Income

           Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $15.06 million, which was slightly lower than that for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, of approximately $15.13 million. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 included the positive effect of a one-time adjustment of our bad debt allowance. Without the effect of this one-time adjustment, management estimates that the net income for the first nine months of 2009 would have been $12.57 million. On this more comparable basis, our net income for the first nine months of 2010 would have been 20% higher than the net income for the corresponding nine months a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

           Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and short-term bank loans.  As of September 30, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents outstanding was $4.56 million, an increase of $0.93 million from $3.63 million as of December 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, we had a principal balance of $2.99 million in short-term bank loans.

           During the first nine months of 2010, we continued our vigorous collection efforts from our customers and achieved good results. While we have made progress, improving our accounts receivable collection continues to be a focus of our management team and we expect to make further progress in the quarters to come.

           Based on our current operating plan, management believes that our cash provided by operations plus the proceeds from our existing bank loans will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and our anticipated capital expenditures, including expenditures for new formula acquisitions, for the next 12 months. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing for expansion purposes, which may include debt and/or equity financing.  There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.

Financing Activities:

Equity related financing:   During the first nine months of 2010, we issued approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock for total proceeds of $2.58 million from the exercise of warrants that were issued in our 2007 offering of equity units. In the corresponding period a year ago, we did not conduct any equity -related financing.

Bank loan related financing: During the first nine months of 2010, the net decrease in our outstanding balance of our short-term bank loan caused a net cash outflow of $0.88 million. During the first nine months of 2009, the net increase in our outstanding balance of our short-term bank loan caused a net inflow of $1.3 million.

Net proceeds from all financing activities for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010 was $1.93 million, and for the corresponding period of 2009, the net proceeds were $1.32 million.

Item 4.                  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
