CHINA BOTANIC PHARMACEUTICAL INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATION

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. (“CBP”) and its subsidiaries.  CBP and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

CBP was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 18, 1988, originally under the corporate name of Solutions, Incorporated.  It was inactive until August 16, 1996, when it changed its corporate name to Suarro Communications, Inc, and engaged in the business of providing internet based business services.  This line of business was discontinued in 2006, and CBP became a non-operating public company.  CBP underwent a number of corporate name changes as follows:

 

June 1997    ComTech Consolidation Group, Inc
February 1999    E-Net Corporation
May 1999    E-Net Financial Corporation
January 2000    E-Net.Com Corporation
February 2000    E-Net Financial.Com Corporation
January 2002    Anza Capital, Inc (“Anza”)
June 2006    Renhuang Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
October 2010   China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc.

 

This filing was prepared in November 2021. Due to the lack of accounting records for the relevant period all assets have been written off and all liabilities have been carried forward from the Company most recent filings prior to this date on October 31, 2010.

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the result of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended October 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year due to seasonal and other factors.

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representation of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

 

  a. Basis of presentation of financial statements and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in terms of US dollars.

  

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CBP and its subsidiaries.

 

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, requires noncontrolling minority interests to represent the portion of earnings that is not within the parent company’s control. The noncontrolling minority interests are required to be reported as equity instead of as a liability on the balance sheet.  In addition, this statement requires net income from noncontrolling minority interest to be shown separately on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company has no noncontrolling interest as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

 

 5 
 

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

  b. Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had no cash on hand and had an accumulated deficit of $10,229,681. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The Company does not have any commitments for additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

  c. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.

 

Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory, the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets, reserve for employee benefit obligations, stock warrant valuation, noncash rental expense and other uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

  d. Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s principal country of operations is in PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the subsidiaries are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “RMB”) as the functional currency.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US dollars for reporting purposes is performed by translating the results of operations denominated in foreign currency at the weighted average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (US dollars) are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

 

As of April 30, 2013, and October 31, 2012, the exchange rates were -0-, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the average exchange rates were RMB 0.00 and RMB 6.33 and the translation adjustments totaled $-0- and $810,353, respectively. For the six months ended the average exchange rates were RMB 0.00 and RMB 6.33 and the translation adjustments totaled $-0- and $675,466, respectively

  

  e. Fair value measurements

 

The FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.

 

Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

  Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).

 

  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments).

 

The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 6 
 

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

  e. Fair value measurements (continued)

 

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.

 

The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

 

  f. Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Interest income is recognized when earned, considering the average principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, sales totaled $-0- and $23,022,385, respectively. During the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, sales totaled $-0- and $51,162,476, respectively.

 

The Company provided annual sales rebates to its distributors based upon sales volumes.  Sales rebates are recorded as a current liability at the time of the sale based upon the Company’s estimates of whether each customer would be entitled to rebates for the period.  At quarter end, the accrued rebate amount is adjusted to the actual amount earned and reclassified to trade receivables in accordance with legal right of offset

 

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and services incident to the ordinary conduct of business, generally for quantities required for the Company’s business and at prevailing market prices. No material annual loss is expected from these commitments and there are no minimum purchase commitments.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are self-insured, and they do not carry any property insurance, general liability insurance, or any other insurance that covers the risks of their business operations. As a result, any material loss or damage to its properties or other assets, or personal injuries arising from its business operations would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operations.

 

The Company is not involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business. While incapable of estimation, in the opinion of the management, the individual regulatory and legal matters in which it might involve in the future are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

(1)  Operating lease arrangements

 

We currently have no lease agreement with any company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.  In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. See also Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012.

 

Overview

 

We are a high-tech enterprise engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and distribution of botanical products, bio-pharmaceutical products, and traditional Chinese medicines, or TCM, in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). We have three “Good Manufacturing Practice” or GMP certified production facilities - Ah City Natural and Biopharmaceutical plant, Dongfanghong pharmaceutical plant and Qingyang natural extraction plant - capable of producing 18 dosage forms and over 200 different products. Our products include but are not limited to (i) botanical anti-depression and nerve-regulation products, (ii) biopharmaceutical products, and (iii) botanical antibiotic and traditional over-the-counter (“OTC”) Chinese medicines. Botanical anti-depression and nerve-regulation products account for approximately 70% of our revenues and we intend to strengthen our development in this area. We have entered into sales agency agreements with our sales agents. Through our sales agent, we have sold our products to over 3,000 distributors and over 70 sales centers across 24 provinces in the PRC.

 

Recent Developments

 

Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder. On December 13, 2011, the Company issued a press release to announce that we have successfully developed a new Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder and was awarded the Scientific and Technological Achievements Appraisal Certificate by the Science and Technology Bureau of Heilongjiang Province. The Siberian Ginseng (Acanthopanax) Polysaccharide Extract Powder is an all-natural substance extracted from the stem of Siberian Ginseng utilizing proprietary extraction technology developed by the China Botanic research team. The Company’s Extract Powder technology was developed using its patented process of separating and extracting effective parts of the Siberian Ginseng (the PRC Patent Number: ZL200710301682X), which was granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China in December 2010. According to pharmacological research, Siberian Ginseng Extract Powder contains strong immunogenic and antitumor properties with minimal side effects. Our management estimates a significant market potential for Extract Powder based products, such as Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder tablets and capsules.

 

Ah City Phase Two project. We have finished the architectural design of Ah City Phase Two project and are in the process of obtaining approval from relevant government authorities. We expect to finish all the procedures by April 2012 and will start the construction once we receive approval documents. As of April 30, 2013, we have incurred a total of $1,964,277 of construction-in-progress. The Ah City Phase Two project is expected to be completed in the year of 2013.

 

Tax Treatment of Subsidiary

 

As a recipient of the PRC’s State High-Tech Enterprise certificate, Harbin Renhuang Pharmaceutical Co. LTD (“CBP China”) is eligible for a number of national and local government support programs, including preferential tax treatment.  In order to receive these benefits CBP China must, on an annual basis, pass a High-Tech Enterprise assessment.  CBP China passed this assessment in February 2012 and, as a result, pays a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% in the year of 2012 compared with statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25%.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our subsidiaries.  All transactions and balances among us and our subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

Certain amounts included in or affecting our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring us to make certain assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts we report for assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We routinely evaluate these estimates, utilizing historical experience, consulting with experts and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. Any effects on our business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

 

We believe that certain accounting policies are of more significance in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement preparation process than others, which policies are discussed below. See also Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.

 

Estimates of allowances for bad debts – We must periodically review our trade and other receivables to determine if all are collectible or whether an allowance is required for possible uncollectible balances.

 

Estimate of the useful lives of property and equipment – We must estimate the useful lives and proper salvage values of our property and equipment. We must also review property and equipment for possible impairment.

 

Estimate of the useful lives of intangible assets – We must estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets. We must also review intangible assets for possible impairment.

 

Inventory – We must determine whether we have any obsolete or impaired inventory.

 

Revenue recognition – Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are shipped to customers and the title has passed.

 

Please refer to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing for a more complete listing of all of our significant accounting policies.

 

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

  Pharmaceutical Industry Growth. We believe the market for pharmaceutical products in the PRC is growing rapidly driven by the PRC’s economic growth, increased pharmaceutical expenditure, an aging population, increased lifestyle-related diseases, government support of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the increased availability of funding for medical insurance in the PRC. In particular, in January 2009, the PRC’s State Council passed a far-reaching medical reform plan (“Health Reform”) to help provide universal primary medical insurance coverage and increased access to medical facilities to a greater majority of its citizens. Both the central government of the PRC and provincial governments has published Lists of Essential Medicines to regulate the market. We expect these factors to continue to drive industry growth.

 

  Pricing of Our Products. Seven of our products, which accounted for 28.4% of our total revenues before sales rebate in the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, are listed on the National or Provincial List of Essential Medicines published by the Chinese government, and therefore subject to government pricing limits. We do not believe pricing controls will influence our sales significantly and expect that the health care reform will help increase our sales.

 

  Production Capacity. We believe much of the pharmaceutical market in the PRC is still underserved, particularly with respect to treatment of depression, melancholy and nerve regulation. The demand for our products that treat depression, melancholy and regulate nerves, continuously increased and we were able to increase our production of such products to capture much of this growth. We believe our current facilities with the ability to manufacture 18 dosage forms and over 200 products could not meet our future demand and we are building our Ah City Phase Two project, Depth Development and Industrialization of Siberian Ginseng, to produce more advanced Siberian Ginseng products and to allow us to capture future market growth and increase our revenue and market share accordingly.

 

 11 
 

 

  Perceptions of Product Quality. We believe that rising health concerns in the PRC have contributed to a greater demand for health-care products with perceived health benefits. We believe many consumers in the PRC tend to prefer natural health care products with, we believe, limited side effects. Accordingly, we believe our reputation for quality and leadership position in a number of our products allow our products to command a higher average selling price and generate higher gross margins than our competitors.

 

  Raw Material Supply and Prices. The per unit costs of producing our products are subject to the supply and price volatility of raw materials, which are affected by various market factors such as market demands, fluctuations in production and competition.

 

  Expenses Associated with Research and Development. In order to enhance our existing products and develop new products for the market, we have devoted significant resources to research and development.

 

  Expenses Associated with Sales and Marketing. In order to promote our product brand and gain greater market awareness, we have devoted significant resources to sales and marketing, in particular advertising activities.

 

  Demand for Our Products. We expect the market demand for our botanic anti-depression and nerve-regulation products will increase along with the growth of the general market for such products.

Expansion Strategy

 

We believe the market for pharmaceutical products in the PRC is growing.  Our growth strategy involves capturing as much of this market as possible during this growth phase.  To implement this strategy we plan to strengthen our dominant position in the Siberian Ginseng (Acanthopanax) market, expand our Siberian Ginseng (Acanthopanax) cultivating bases and improving the quality standards of Siberian Ginseng (Acanthopanax), and extend our distribution network through internal distribution channels reforms. Our expansion strategy will require the continued retention and investment of our earnings from operations and, we believe, additional funding from private debt and equity financing.  In general, the commitment of funds to research and development, or acquisition or construction of plant and equipment tends to impair liquidity.  However, we believe that because of the upward trend in our revenues in recent years, even if this trend levels off, our income from continuing operations coupled with such additional financing, if required, should provide sufficient liquidity to meet our expansion needs.  

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Please refer to Note 21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of April 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act”).   Accordingly, based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. Based on the management’s assessment and review of our financial statements and results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, we have not established effective internal controls.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

Since the third quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, we have begun the implementation of remedial measures including hiring of a new chief financial officer in January 2010 (who resigned on August 3, 2010 for personal reason and was replaced by an interim chief financial officer. On December 14, 2010, we subsequently hired Mr. Weiqiu Dong as our new chief financial officer), adding additional staff, appointing three independent Directors to our board of directors, engaging consultants to advise management on the preparation of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance with internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal year 2011, providing relevant training to our staff, implementing more rigorous policies and procedures relating to period-end financial reporting and other key processes, strengthening key controls such as journal-entry approval, reconciliation procedures and maintaining relevant supporting documentation. We expect to continue to implement additional financial and management controls and procedures going forward.  As results of these measures and until we have completed the remediation process, there has been and will be changes and further improvement to our internal controls over financial reporting.
