First Quarter 2011 Highlights

• Total revenue increased to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, representing 19% year-over-year growth.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.6 million, an increase of approximately $0.6 million, from approximately $2.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
• Net income attributable to stockholders increased to $99,373, as compared to $2,355 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Sales: Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $9.4 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 19 %, from approximately $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in sales was primarily due to the Company's main product Xuesaitong's sales increasing in Tianjin City and Yunnan Province as Xuesaitong was listed on the Provincial Insurance Catalog list of Tianjin City since the second quarter in 2010 and the Company strengthened sales promotion in Yunnan Province.

Cost of goods sold: Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $3.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 83%, from approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the increase of purchase price of Sanqi which is the main raw material of our main product Xuesaitong. In addition, the Zhonghuang Hotel began trial operation since January 2011 which has contributed $0.4 million to the increase of cost of goods sold.

Gross profit: Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $5.6 million as compared with approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 59.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 14.0% from 73.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the increase of cost of goods sold set forth above.

Selling expense: Selling expenses were approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 19%, from approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in selling expenses was due to decrease of commission to sales representative as a result of change of sales commission policy which took effect since the second quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million, or 51%, from approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase of the management's traveling expenses for expanding our sales channel. In addition, Zhonghuang Hotel began trial operation since January 2011 which has contributed $78,733 to the increase of general and administrative expense.

Research and development expense: Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $121,725, as compared to $80,851 for the period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $40,874. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the expenditures for outside experts for the Sh1002's registration to FDA since late 2009.

Other expenses: Other expenses were $306,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which consisted of interest expense and non-operating expense, off set by subsidy income, interest income and non-operating income, an increase of $263,879, or 614%, from $43,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was mainly due to less subsidy income from provincial government as compared to the same period in 2010.

Income tax (expense) benefit: Income tax expense was $14,980 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to income tax benefit of $29,984 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The tax expense was mainly for tax accrued for the profit of the Company.

Net income attributable to stockholders: Net income increased to $99,373 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2,355 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Offset by the increase in raw material price and the expenses related to the trial operation of Shenghuo Plaza, the increase in net income was primarily due to decrease of selling expenses as a result of decrease of sales commission to sales representatives.
