PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

We operate under a holding company structure and currently have one direct operating subsidiary, Linkwell Tech Group Inc. (“Linkwell Tech”) a Florida corporation, of which we own 90%. On February 15, 2008, Linkwell Tech sold 10% of its issued and outstanding capital stock to Ecolab Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ecolab”).  Linkwell Tech owns 100% of Shanghai LiKang Disinfectant High-Tech Company, Limited (“LiKang Disinfectant”).  We regard LiKang Disinfectant's business of hospital disinfectant products as our primary business.  LiKang Disinfectant acquired 100% of LiKang Biological on March 5, 2009.

Linkwell Corporation, through LiKang Disinfectant, is engaged in the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of disinfectant health care products primarily to the medical industry in China. We have a national marketing and sales presence throughout all twenty-two provinces as well as four autonomous regions and four municipalities in China. We currently employ forty full-time sales and marketing people based in Shanghai.  Shanghai ZhongYou Pharmaceutical High-Tech Co., Ltd, (“ZhongYou Pharmaceutical”) a company 65% owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Xuelian Bian, also sells our products using seventy independent sales representatives in China.

We market our products to the medical industry in China, however we are making efforts to diversify and expand our reach to the retail market.  We have made efforts to grow our customer base by expanding into the civil, industrial, livestock and agricultural disinfection markets of China.  Currently we offer a variety of disinfectant products for the following applications:

·
Skin and mucous membrane disinfectants;
 
·
Hand disinfectants (external);
 
·
Environment and surface disinfectants;
 
·
Medical devices and equipment disinfectants;
 
·
Machine disinfectants; and
 
·
Animal disinfectants.

LiKang Disinfectant has fifty-six marketed products, fifty of which are certified by one or more government authorities; the Chinese Ministry of Health, State Food and Drug Administration, or Ministry of Agriculture.  China’s Ministry of Health approves those products that require the highest level of licensing and have granted thirty hygiene licenses to Linkwell.  We also sell products which have been developed and manufactured by third parties.  These parties manufacture disinfectant products that generated approximately 1.0% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  Products that we manufacture account for approximately 99.0% of our total net revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Prior to May 31, 2008, we owned 100% of Shanghai LiKang International Trade Co. Ltd., through our subsidiary LiKang Disinfectant.

Corporate Structure Chart
 

Industry Background

In 2007, Frost & Sullivan stated, “The Chinese healthcare industry has been one of the fastest growing healthcare industries in the world. It is expected to become the fifth largest by 2010. Its growth is mainly driven by the government’s initiatives to simplify regulatory procedures, enhance trade relations, and attract foreign investment through friendly policies.”

According to the China Federation of Industrial Economics, China’s disinfectant industry is estimated at well over $6.5 billion.  Other experts believe the Chinese market demand for biocides will increase by approximately 7.9% annually to 574,000 metric tons by the year 2010.

The disinfectant industry in China may be characterized as an emerging industry, populated by approximately 1,000 small domestic manufacturers and distributors, and half a dozen large international companies with limited presence and products.

Major contributing factors responsible for the vigor of China’s disinfectant industry growth include the transition to a market economy, increasing health consciousness in the general population and increasing government health standards and education.

Increasing Domestic Demand

Since the shift to a market economy, the Chinese government has initiated several policies to improve public health and living standards and improve the Chinese healthcare industry.  Consequently, these initiatives and traditional market forces have driven increasing demand for disinfectant products.  According to Frost & Sullivan, China’s healthcare expenditures grew from 5.0% of GDP in 1999 to 6.7% in 2005, representing a growth rate of approximately 5%. During the same period, USA healthcare expenditures grew from 13.2% to 15.9%, representing a growth rate of approximately 3%.

After nearly 30 years of sustaining economic growth in China, both the Chinese government and the public have become more concerned about the quality and cost of healthcare in China. A greater public awareness of the health benefits of our products, as well as these new public concerns have led to a surge in interest for disinfectant products in China with consumers maintaining stockpiles of disinfectant products. Other factors that support the growth in demand for disinfectant products include:

·   China’s population of 1.3 billion; a large and rapidly aging population base that require better sanitization standards to protect their health.  According to a United Nations study released in 2005, the number of people aged 60 or over in China is expected to rise to more than 430 million people;
·   Healthcare professionals and citizens want a healthcare system and hygienic standards as advanced as western countries;
·   Ongoing government reforms in hospital sanitation, medical standards and disinfectant regulations;
·   Government educational program to increase public awareness of public health and hygienic standards; and
·   An increase in government investment in healthcare and medical services to achieve sustainable development of the disinfectant industry.

Recent Health Concerns in China

The most critical factors that triggered health concerns in China are the recent and recurring health crises that have led to several epidemics (see Table below) and potential pandemics. In response, the Chinese government has taken initiatives to improve public health and living standards, including the establishment of The Ministry of Public Health in China for the disinfectant industry in China.

SARS - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

In recent years, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has threatened the public community. SARS, which is a viral respiratory illness caused by a corona virus, called SARS-associated corona virus (SARS-CoV), was first reported in Asia in November 2002. Over the next few months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained. In April 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health reported several new cases of possible SARS outbreaks in Beijing and the Anhui Province, which is located in east-central China.

According to the Center for Disease Control of the central government of China, the common manner in which SARS seems to spread is by close person-to-person contact. The virus that causes SARS is thought to be transmitted most readily by respiratory droplets (“droplet spread”) when an infected person coughs or sneezes.  Droplet spread occurs as germs from the cough or sneeze of an infected person are propelled a short distance (generally up to three feet) through the air and deposited on the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes of nearby persons. The virus also can spread when a person touches a surface or object contaminated with infectious droplets and then touches his or her mouth, nose, or eye(s). Ultimately, there is much the global community does not know about SARS, and it is possible that the SARS virus might spread more broadly through the air (airborne spread) or by other ways that are not yet known.

Avian Influenza

In 2005, the threat of a global pandemic as a result of the avian flu began to capture the attention of the global community. The avian flu is a type of the A strain virus that infects birds. Typically, it is not common for humans to be infected with the virus via contact with birds, however a few bird-to-human outbreaks have been reported and most have been in Asia. Humans were infected when they came into contact with sick birds or contaminated surfaces. In most cases, infected persons reported flu-like symptoms, but some had more serious complications, including pneumonia and acute respiratory distress. The avian flu has led to increased concerns for improved health conditions.

Up to February 5, 2009, there were 405 confirmed cases of highly pathogenic bird flu reported throughout the world, that resulted in 254 deaths. Within China there were 11 confirmed cases resulting in eight deaths during 2008.

H1N1

HINI is an influenza virus that had never been identified as a cause of infections in people before the current H1N1 pandemic. Genetic analyses of this virus have shown that it originated from animal influenza viruses and is unrelated to the human seasonal H1N1 viruses that have been in general circulation among people since 1977.

Antigenic analysis has shown that antibodies to the seasonal H1N1 virus do not protect against the pandemic H1N1 virus. However, other studies have shown that a significant percentage of people age 65 and older do have some immunity against the pandemic virus. This suggests that some people in older age groups may have some cross protection from exposure to viruses that have circulated in the more distant past.

Unlike typical seasonal flu patterns, the new virus caused high levels of summer infections in the northern hemisphere, and then even higher levels of activity during cooler months in this part of the world. After early outbreaks in North America in April 2009 the new influenza virus spread rapidly around the world. To date, most countries in the world have confirmed infections from the new virus. As of December 27 2009, worldwide more than 208 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including at least 12,220 deaths.

The new virus has also led to patterns of death and illness not normally seen in influenza infections. Most of the deaths caused by the pandemic influenza have occurred among younger people, including those who were otherwise healthy. Pregnant women, younger children and people of any age with certain chronic lung or other medical conditions appear to be at higher risk of more complicated or severe illness. Many of the severe cases have been due to viral pneumonia, which is harder to treat than bacterial pneumonias usually associated with seasonal influenza. Many of these patients have required intensive care.

H1N1 Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their eyes, mouth, or nose. Providing sufficient facilities for hand washing and alcohol-based hand sanitizers in common workplace areas such as lobbies, corridors, and rest rooms can reduce the chance of spread of the H1N1 virus. Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for up to 2-8 hours after being deposited on the surface. Disinfecting commonly touched hard surfaces in the workplace, such as work stations, counter tops, door knobs, and bathroom surfaces by wiping them down with disinfectant can reduce the chance of spread of the H1N1 virus.

China Health Standards

In July 2002, the Chinese Ministry of Public Health issued the 27th order of Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China establishing national standards for the disinfection industry.  The first criterion of the new order stipulated that disinfectant manufacturers in China must obtain a license to manufacture hygiene disinfectants.  Secondly, prior to release, all disinfectant instruments must obtain the official hygiene permit document of both the local provincial hygiene administrative department and the Ministry of Public Health.

In June 2009, the Chinese Ministry of Public Health issued the Hygiene Standard of Manufacturers of Disinfection Products (2009) (“Hygiene Standard”) which updated the previously issued 2004 version. It specifies plant layout, hygiene requirements for workplaces, requirements for production equipment, materials, warehouse and workers. The Hygiene Standard will go into effect on January 1, 2010 and will restrict market access of some small disinfectant companies due to the high Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) standard which should prove to be beneficial for normalization of  the disinfectant market.

The table below details the 30 licenses issued to LiKang Disinfectant by the Chinese Ministry of Public Health.

Retail products

In 2005, we began to expand our distribution reach to the retail market. As a result, our products have gained access to hotels, schools, supermarkets, and drugstores.  We have repackaged commercial disinfectant products for sale to the consumer market.  Since October 1999, we redeveloped four separate products for distribution to the retail market.  LiKang Disinfectant redeveloped the following products in the months and years listed:

·
Jin Zhongda collutory (mouthwash)

Customers

We sell our products on a wholesale and retail basis to the medical community in China.  We have approximately 6,000 active and recurring customers including hospitals, medical suppliers, and distribution companies throughout China.  We maintain over 20 distribution contracts with wholesale dealers and agents.  We generally offer payment terms of four to six months before payment for the products is due.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 two affiliated entities that are our customers, ZhongYou Pharmaceutical and Shanghai Jiuqing Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., represented approximately 36.6% of our total net revenues.

Manufacturing

We operate two production facilities in Shanghai, one located in the Shanghai Jiading district and one located in the Shanghai Jinshan district.  Products are manufactured primarily in liquid, tablet, and powder form.  Approximately 99% of LiKang Disinfectant’s revenues for fiscal 2009 were derived from products manufactured in these two factories.

The Shanghai Jiading district factory is approximately 21,500 square feet, all of which is used for production.  The main products produced at the Shanghai Jiading district factory are liquid and index disinfectant devices.  The manufacturing facility has the capacity to produce approximately 9 million liters of liquid disinfectant annually.  The manufacturing cycle for the liquids, from formulation to finished product, is one day.

The Shanghai Jinshan district factory is approximately 4,300 square feet and is used in the manufacture of the tablet and powder forms of disinfectants.  The manufacturing capacity is 300 metric tons of tablet and 180 metric tons of powder disinfectant annually.  The average manufacturing cycle for the tablets and powder, from formulation to finished product, is one day.

During fiscal 2007, following GMP certification for both the factory and the equipment; we began utilizing the services of LiKang Biological, a related party, to manufacture some of our products including our An'erdian and Dian'erkang lines of disinfectants.  On March 25, 2008, Linkwell Tech purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of LiKang Biological.

We have found in our experience that products manufactured at GMP certified facilities utilizing GMP certified equipment can be sold at higher prices than similar products manufactured at non- GMP certified facilities.  While GMP certified products cost more to produce, we are able to increase our selling prices proportionally.  Our product packaging varies to meet different needs of the market. We package our liquid and gel disinfectants in popular sizes ranging from 40 ml to 5 liters. We package these tablets in 50 tablet, 100 tablet and 200 tablet bottles. Finally, we package our powder disinfectants in 250 gram and 500 gram containers.

We maintain an inventory of finished products equal to approximately 1 month of average sales.  Currently, we are manufacturing at about 50% of full capacity based upon our current product demand, and we have the ability to increase to full capacity if demand continues to increase.

We have an in-house fulfillment and distribution operation, which is used to manage our supply chain, beginning with the placement of the order, continuing through order processing, packaging and shipping the products to each customer.  We maintain inventory and fill customer orders from both the Jiading factory and the Jinshan factory.

Raw Materials

We purchase raw materials from six primary suppliers, and we have signed purchase contracts with these suppliers in an effort to ensure a steady supply of raw materials.  We have maintained stable business relations with these suppliers for over 10 years, and believe that our relationships with these primary suppliers will remain stable.  In the event the relationships falter, there are many suppliers with the capability to supply our company.  We purchase raw materials on payment terms of 30 days to three months.  Some of the suppliers import from foreign countries, as listed below, and we purchase directly from these suppliers.

Customer Service and Support

We believe that a high level of customer service and support is critical in retaining and expanding our customer base.  Customer care representatives participate in ongoing training programs under the supervision of our training managers.  These training sessions include a variety of topics such as product knowledge and customer service tips.  Our customer care representatives respond to customers’ e-mails and calls that are related to order status, prices and shipping.  If our customer care representatives are unable to respond to a customer’s inquiry at the time of the call, we strive to provide an answer within 24 hours.  We believe our customer care representatives are a valuable source of feedback regarding customer satisfaction.  Our customer returns and credits average approximately 1% of total sales.

New Product Development

We are committed to research and development.  LiKang Disinfectant was created as a research and development organization by the Second Military Medical University (SMMU) of the Chinese Army in 1988.  We develop our products internally and own all rights associated with these products.

We commercialized four new disinfectant products in 2007, including PuTai Skin Disinfectant, PuTai washless surgical hand scrub, PuTai washless surgical hand foam disinfectant and LiKang disinfectant detergent, which is an environmental and surface disinfectant.  In 2008, 8 products were in development and licensing applications were filed for 4 of these products. In 2009, we commercialized two new disinfectant products, Jifro surgical hand scrub and Putai 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate disinfectant.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we spent approximately $108,026 and approximately $63,552, respectively, on research and development.

Marketing and Sales

We were formed in 1988 as a research and development organization by the Second Military Medical University (SMMU) of the Chinese Army.  Our CEO, Mr. Xuelian Bian, was a member of the staff of SMMU.  We believe that his relationships with alumni and business persons associated with SMMU provide us with certain marketing advantages.  The university is a well recognized, prestigious institution in China and many of its graduates work at hospitals, medical suppliers, and distribution companies throughout China in senior positions, which places them in the decision making process for purchasing the kind of products we sell.  In addition, the students and faculty at the university provide a pool of talent from which we draw, both as potential employees or summer interns who go on to work at other companies, many of whom are customers or potential customers for our products.  In marketing our products, we seek to leverage these relationships.

During the 2007 fiscal year, we expanded our distribution capability in the PRC.  We have a national marketing and sales presence throughout all 22 provinces, as well as four autonomous regions, and four municipalities of China.  We currently employ 40 full-time sales and marketing people based in Shanghai.  ZhongYou Pharmaceutical, an affiliate, also sells our products using 70 independent sales representatives in other provinces of China.

Approximately 26.3% of our sales are achieved by our proprietary sales force, while the remaining 73.7% are outsourced to independent dealers and agents. We compensate our proprietary salesman with a base salary plus commission. The sales representatives are located in each of China’s provinces.  The external sales network currently covers hospitals in the following 22 provinces including: Beijing, Guangdong, Tianjin, Fujian, Yunnan, Hainan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Neimenggu.  The independent sales representatives sell directly to the end-users.

Disinfectant Educational Center

On May 25, 2006, we entered into an agreement with China Pest Infestation Control and Sanitation Association, an association governed by the Chinese central government, to establish and operate a disinfectant educational center in Beijing, China.  We will be responsible for the establishment and development of the disinfectant educational center, as well as its management and funding.  The China Pest Infestation Control and Sanitation Association will be responsible for establishing a job training base in Beijing.  We believe we were selected to participate in this program based upon our reputation and experience in the disinfectant industry.

We anticipate that the disinfectant educational center will offer a job training program to educate and train professionals to work in the disinfectant field.  The disinfectant educational center will be a tuition based education program for which graduates will receive a license from the China Pest Infestation Control and Sanitation Association.  After completion of the program, it is envisioned that a personnel exchange service center of the Chinese central government's Health Department will function much like a placement office and assist the center's graduates in securing positions with companies seeking to fill positions in the PRC.  From time to time we may also recruit graduates from the disinfectant educational center to join our company.

In 2006, LiKang Disinfectant entered into an agreement with the China Pest Infestation Control Association, the Ministry of Health and the Beijing Olympic Game Committee to establish and operate a disinfectant educational center in Beijing, China.  In accordance with the agreement, LiKang Disinfectant is responsible for the establishment of the disinfectant educational center, as well as its management and funding.  As of December 31, 2007, we had provided the text books and technical standards for training. In 2008, prior to the Bejing Olympic Games starting,  we  held the first class for training the 2008 Beijing Olympic Staff. There were 46 staff were qualified among total 51 participants

After the Wenchuan Earthquake occurred, LiKang Disinfectant entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Health, the National Patriot and Sanitation Committee, and the Dujiangyan National Disaster Headquarters to provide service to stricken areas. On June 6, 2008, Likang Disinfectant sent its own teams to Sichuan to provide sanitation technical training for over 270 staff as well as providing a qualification course and examinations to over 100 national disinfectors.  On June 27, 2008, 76 national disinfectors had taken professional qualification exams and 67 national disinfectors were qualified. The passage rate was 88%.

In 2008, there were 325 participants that attended the Likang Disinfectant training course, of which 117 became qualified.  In 2009, there were 2,320 participants that attended the Likang Disinfectant training course, of which 2,156 became qualified.

Competition

We operate in a fragmented, competitive national market for healthcare disinfectant products.  According to a survey conducted in 2004 by the China Federation of Industrial Economics (CFIC), the disinfectant market in the PRC was approximately $6.25 billion (USD).  While the disinfectant industry in China is an emerging industry, and the industry is populated with small regional players, we estimate that there are over 1,000 manufacturers and distributors of disinfectant products in China and certain of our major competitors distribute products similar to ours, including those which also prevent the spread of airborne viruses such as avian flu and SARS.

We compete with foreign companies, including 3M, who are marketing a limited line of disinfectant products in China, as well as smaller, domestic manufacturers.  Most domestic competitors offer a limited line of products and there are few domestic companies with a nationwide presence.  We believe that our national marketing and sales presence throughout all 22 provinces, as well as four autonomous regions, and four municipalities of China gives us a competitive advantage over many other disinfectant companies in China.

In addition, prior to the adoption of industry standards in July 2002 by the central government of China, disinfectant products were generally marketed and sold based on pricing factors.  We believe the recent standards implemented by the government and a growing middle income class will shift the customer demand from price to quality.

As a result of this heightened license and permit system, all disinfectant manufacturers must comply with "qualified disinfection product manufacturing enterprise requirements” established by the Ministry of Public Health.  The requirements include standards for both hardware and software.  Hardware includes facilities and machinery and software includes the technology to monitor the facilities.  Furthermore the requirements will encompass the knowledge and capability of both the production staff and quality control procedures.

Furthermore we estimate the new government standards adopted in July 2002 are increasing the barriers to entry in the disinfectant industry.  We believe that the new standards may lead to fewer competitors as companies falter in their efforts to adhere to the new standards.  The implementation of these improved production standards and licenses have effectively decreased the competitiveness of small and mid-size manufacturers.  Compliance with the new standards is especially difficult for companies with limited product offerings and inferior technical content.

Competitive Advantages

We believe that the following are the principal competitive strengths that differentiate our company from the majority of our competition:

·  Strong sales and distribution network in China – enables us to compete effectively with domestic competitors, as well as larger foreign-owned competitors;

·  Product selection and availability – A number of our competitors are smaller, regional companies with a limited number of product offerings.  We offer our customers a wide variety of disinfectant products and the ability to ship products to our customers on a timely basis throughout the PRC;

·  Research and development – Our efforts to respond to market demand for new products have resulted in the issuance to us of 28 hygiene licenses by the Ministry of Public Health of the central government of China.  Based upon our knowledge of our competitors, we do not believe any of our competitors have received as many licenses since the enactment of the licensing standards in July 2002;

·  Strong product pipeline  We have a history of introducing 3 or 4 new products to the market each year. We have filed applications for 4 new products and have 8 additional products in development;
 
·  Manufacturing capacity – We are operating at 91% capacity to produce GMP certified products and we have the ability to increase capacity significantly at moderate costs;

·  Customer services – Our sales personnel are thoroughly educated about our products, which enable them to better understand the needs of our customers.  Our customer service representatives strive to answer questions immediately and, at a minimum, no later than 24 hours after a customer’s inquiry;

 
15

 

·   Reliability and speed of delivery.  We believe our products have developed a reputation of good quality and effectiveness and our manufacturing capabilities enable us to produce and ship products to our customers promptly;

·   Customer service – Our customer service representatives participate in ongoing product training programs and we strive to respond to all customer inquiries within 24 hours; and

·   Price – We have developed relationships with a number of raw material suppliers which enables us to keep our costs low and thereby offer prices to our customers which are very competitive.

Our primary competitors in the sale of chemical disinfectants are 3M and Ace Disinfection Factory Co., Ltd.  The primary competitors for instrument disinfectants are Chengdu Kangaking Instrument Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Yangchi Medicine Article Co., Ltd. and the primary competitors for chemical indicators are 3M and Shandong Xinhua Medical Instrument Co., Ltd.  Domestic competition comes from regional companies which tend to offer products in small geographic areas and do not distribute their product lines throughout China.

Our primary competitors include:

Chemical indicators

Our primary foreign competitor is 3M Company which has had a presence in China for more than 20 years.  3M Company entered the hand disinfection market at the end of 2004 and primarily offers products in the areas of index and control devices and disinfectant machines.  At present, 3M Company has five products for use in operating rooms and its products are found in provincial capital cities of China such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjin, Chengdu and Xi’an.  3M Company’s product line in China is relatively narrow, with few overlapping products between 3M Company and our company.

Another foreign competitor is Johnson & Johnson, established operations in China in 1994.  In China, Johnson & Johnson offers a variety of skin, hand, and medical equipment disinfectants.  Prior to the recent initiatives by the government, disinfectant products were marketed based on pricing and despite the brand awareness of Johnson & Johnson; its products did not have widespread reception among the community.  Furthermore, Johnson & Johnson does not offer a wide variety of disinfectant products in China.

Government Regulations

Our business and operations are located in the PRC.  We are subject to local food, drug, environmental laws related to certification of manufacturing and distributing of disinfectants.  We are also licensed by the Shanghai City Government to manufacture and distribute disinfectants.  We are in substantial compliance with all provisions of those licenses and have no reason to believe that they will not be renewed as required by the applicable rules of Shanghai.  In addition, our operations must conform to general governmental regulations and rules for private companies conducting business in China.

Pursuant to the July 2002 Ministry of Public Health 27th Order of Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, all disinfectant manufacturers in China must obtain a license to manufacture hygiene disinfectants.  Prior to release, all disinfectant instruments must obtain the official hygiene permit document of Ministry of Public Health and the approval of the provincial hygiene administrative department.  The implementation of these improved production standards and licenses has effectively decreased the competitiveness of small to mid size manufacturers with single product and inferior technical content.  Presently we meet all standards initiated by this ordinance and we have been granted 28 hygiene licenses by the Ministry of Public Health.

 
16

 

We are also subject to various other rules and regulations, including the People’s Republic of China Infectious Disease Prevention and Cure Law, Disinfection Management Regulation, Disinfection Technique Regulation, Disinfection Product Manufacturer Sanitation Regulation, and Endoscope Rinse and Disinfection Technique Manipulation Regulation.  We believe we are in material compliance with all of the applicable regulations.

Sanitary Standard for Producing Disinfectant products Enterprises 2009

To strengthen supervision and management of disinfection products, standardize the behavior of disinfection products based on "Infectious Diseases Prevention Law" and "sterilization management approach," The People's Republic of China Ministry of Health have revised the old disinfectant manufacturing criteria and enacted the “Sanitary Standard for Producing Disinfectant products Enterprises 2009 ” and effective from January 1, 2010.

According to the new guideline, the compounding, mixing and subpackaging of Skin and mucous membrane disinfectants, and antibacterial preparation (except for hand-washing products), should be processed in a workshop with a 300,000 level of air purification.

PRC Legal System

Since 1979, many laws and regulations addressing economic matters in general have been promulgated in the PRC. Despite development of its legal system, the PRC does not have a comprehensive system of laws.  In addition, enforcement of existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic, and implementation and interpretation thereof inconsistent.  The PRC judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation.  Even where adequate laws exist in the PRC, it may be difficult to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of such laws, or to obtain enforcement of a judgment by a court of another jurisdiction.  The PRC's legal system is based on written statutes and, therefore, decided legal cases are without binding legal effect, although they are often followed by judges as guidance.  The interpretation of PRC laws may be subject to policy changes reflecting domestic political changes.  As the PRC legal system develops, the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the preemption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors.  The trend of legislation over the past 20 years has, however, significantly enhanced the protection afforded foreign investors in enterprises in the PRC.  However, there can be no assurance that changes in such legislation or interpretation thereof will not have an adverse effect upon our business operations or prospects.

Economic Reform Issues

Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic systems.  Many reforms are unprecedented or experimental; therefore they are expected to be refined and improved.  Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures.  We cannot predict if this refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations in future periods.

Over the last several years, China's economy has registered a high growth rate.  Recently, there have been indications that rates of inflation have increased. In response, the Chinese government recently has taken measures to curb this excessively expansive economy.  These measures have included devaluations of the Chinese currency as the result of inflation.  This relative Renminbi (“RMB”) devaluation places some restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, reducing the purchasing capability of customers, and limiting re-centralization of the approval process for some foreign product purchases.  These austerity measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy's excessive expansion or control inflation, and may result in severe dislocations in the Chinese economy.  The Chinese government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets.

To date reforms to China's economic system have not adversely impacted our operations and are not expected to adversely impact operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that the reforms toChina's economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China's political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

We amortized $210,000 as stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2009.

On June 27, 2008, Monarch Capital Fund, Ltd. exercised a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock with price of $0.20 per share. We received proceeds from this warrant exercise of $20,000 on June 24, 2008.

On July 1, 2009, we entered into a two year agreement with First Trust. In connection with this agreement, we issued 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $0.09 per share to First Trust and recorded $162,000 as deferred compensation. We amortized $40,500 as stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2009.

History of Our Company

Linkwell Corporation (formerly Kirshner Entertainment & Technologies, Inc. (“Kirshner”)) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 11, 1996. On May 31, 2000, we acquired 100% of HBOA.com, Inc. We focused on development of an internet portal through which home based business owners, as well as commercial private label businesses, obtain the products, services, and information necessary to start, expand and profitably run their businesses.

On May 2, 2005, we entered into and consummated a share exchange with all of the shareholders of Linkwell Tech Group, Inc. (“Linkwell Tech”). Pursuant to the share exchange, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Linkwell Tech's common stock, in exchange for 36,273,470 shares of our common stock, which at closing represented approximately 87.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of the transaction, Linkwell Tech became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Linkwell Tech was founded on June 22, 2004, as a Florida corporation. On June 30, 2004, Linkwell Tech acquired 90% of Shanghai LiKang Disinfectant High-Tech Company, Ltd. (“LiKang Disinfectant”) through a share exchange. LiKang Disinfectant is a science and technology enterprise founded in 1988. LiKang Disinfectant is involved in the development, production, marketing and sale, and distribution of disinfectant health care products.

LiKang Disinfectant has developed a line of disinfectant product offerings which are utilized by the hospital and medical industry in China. LiKang Disinfectant regards hospital disinfectant products as the primary segment of its business and has developed and manufactured several series of products in the field of skin mucous disinfection, hand disinfection, surrounding articles disinfection, medical instruments disinfection and air disinfection.

On June 30, 2005, our Board of Directors approved an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Linkwell Corporation. The effective date of the name change was after close of business on August 16, 2005.

On April 6, 2007, Linkwell Tech entered into two material stock purchase agreements as follows:

i) Linkwell Tech entered into an agreement (the “Biological Stock Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 100% equity interest in Shanghai LiKang Biological High-Tech Company, Ltd. (“LiKang Biological”), in a related party transaction with Mr. Xuelian Bian, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wei Guan our Vice-President and Director, and Shanghai Likang Pharmaceuticals Technology Co., Ltd. (“LiKang Pharmaceutical”). Before the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Bian and Mr. Guan owned 90% and 10% of LiKang Pharmaceutical, respectively. Mr. Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical owned 60% and 40% of LiKang Biological, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical were to receive 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock.
 
Due to restrictions under PRC law that prohibited the consideration contemplated by the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, the agreement did not close. As a result, on March 25, 2008, the parties agreed to enter into an amendment to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement (“Biological Amendment”) in an effort to complete the stock purchase transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Biological Amendment, the only material change to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement related to the consideration paid by Linkwell Tech to Xuelian Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical, which was changed from 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to $200,000 and 500,000 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2008, the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement was pending and required further approval from the PRC Ministry of Commerce. Due to the time consuming and complicated nature of the approval procedure, the parties agreed to enter into a second amendment to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement (“Second Biological Amendment”) in order to complete the purchase transactions timely and properly. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Biological Amendment, the purchaser was changed from Linkwell Tech to LiKang Disinfectant, in addition, the consideration was changed to RMB2,000,000 (approximately $291,792) and 500,000 shares of our common stock. After the Second Biological Amendment, approval from Ministry of Commerce, in the People’s Republic of China is not necessary because LiKang Disinfectant acquired 100% of the equity interest in LiKang Biological and both LiKang Disinfectant and LiKang Biological are companies registered in PRC. This transaction closed on March 5, 2009. We issued 500,000 shares of our common stock to LiKang Pharmaceutical on December 28, 2009; and

ii) Linkwell Tech, which already owned a 90% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant, was to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest of LiKang Disinfectant from Shanghai Shanhai Group, a non-affiliated Chinese entity, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement”) whereby Shanghai Shanhai Group was to receive 3,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Due to restrictions under PRC law that prohibited the consideration then contemplated by the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement, the transaction did not close. As a result of this, on March 25, 2008, the parties agreed to enter into an amendment to the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement (“Disinfectant Amendment”) in an effort to complete the stock purchase transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Disinfectant Amendment, the only material change to the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement related to the consideration paid by Linkwell Tech to the Shanghai Shanhai Group for the remaining a 10% equity interest, which was changed from 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, to $380,000 and 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. Due to the fluctuation of the applicable exchange rate, the cash consideration was increased to $399,057. The other terms of the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement were not changed.

Linkwell Tech paid $395,800 to the Shanghai Shanhai Group on February 21, 2008 and paid $3,257 on April 18, 2008. A total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock were expected to be issued before the end of May 2008. The parties agreed to extend the share issuance date until October 20, 2008. The Company valued the acquisition using the fair value of common shares at $0.19 per share and recorded an investment of $285,000. Including the cash payment of $399,057, the total investment for acquiring 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant was $684,057. The cumulative minority interest of 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant at March 25, 2008, was approximately $557,779. The difference between the total investment and the cumulative minority interest of $126,278 was deducted from retained earnings as dividends to the 10% minority shareholder, Shanghai Shanhai Group. As a result of the closing of the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, as of March 25, 2008, our 90% owned subsidiary Linkwell Tech owns 100% of the equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant.
 
On February 15, 2008, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Ecolab Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ecolab”), pursuant to which Ecolab agreed to purchase 888,889 of shares of Linkwell Tech, or 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Linkwell Tech, for $2,000,000. On March 28, 2008 and June 4, 2008, Linkwell Tech received $200,000 and $1,388,559, respectively from Ecolab. Including a $400,000 loan that Linkwell Tech received from Ecolab and accrued interest thereon of $11,441. On May 31, 2008, the Company, Linkwell Tech and Ecolab entered into a Linkwell Tech Group Inc. Stockholders Agreement, whereby both the Company and Ecolab are subject to, and beneficiaries of, certain pre-emptive rights, transfer restrictions and take along rights relating to the shares of Linkwell Tech that the Company and Ecolab each hold. As of May 31, 2008, the principal and accrued interest of $11,441 on the short-term $400,000 loan became part of Ecolab’s investment and does not need to be repaid.
 
On May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant entered into a stock purchase agreement under which it sold 100% of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang International, to Linkwell International Trading Co., Ltd, a company registered in Hong Kong which is 100% owned by Mr. Wei Guan, our Vice President and Director.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, LiKang Disinfectant received $291,754 (RMB 2,000,000) once the agreement was approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce with such approval occurring on March 27, 2008.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, LiKang Disinfectant invested certain of its intangible assets in Likang Biological.  The Likang Disinfectant intangible assets were valued at approximately $2,000,000 and accounted for an approximately $800,000 increase in the registered capital of Likang Biological.  Due to U.S. GAAP, a majority of this $800,000 has been eliminated as this patent has been generated internally.

On December 21, 2009, Linkwell entered into a stock purchase agreement with Inner Mongolia Wuhai Chengtian Chemical Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of China (“Wuhai Chengtian”) and Honglin Li, a stockholder of Wuhai Chengtian, pursuant to which Likang Disinfectant was to purchase 35% of the outstanding capital stock of Wuhai Chengtian from Honglin Li in exchange for approximately $463,235 (3,150,000 RMB) and 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. Prior to this transaction, Likang Disinfectant owned 16% of the capital stock of Wuhai Chengtian. When this transaction is consummated, LiKang Disinfectant shall own 51% of the capital stock of Wuhai Chengtian. Wuhai Chengtian manufactures materials we use to make certain of our disinfectant products.

We, along with Wuhai Chengtian, have been unable to obtain governmental tax approval of the transaction with Wuhai Chengtian and Honglin Li.  As such, on February 26, 2010, the Company, Linkwell Tech, Likang Disinfectant, Wuhai Chengtian and Honglin Li entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) whereby the Stock Purchase Agreement has been amended such that the Exchange is now contingent upon the parties receiving governmental approval of the transaction.  This transaction has not closed as of the date of this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this annual report before deciding to invest in our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

We engage in a number of material transactions with related parties which could result in a conflict of interest involving our management.

We are materially dependent on certain related party transactions in the ongoing conduct of our business.  Sales to our related party represented approximately 21.9% of our total net revenues in the fiscal year of 2008 and approximately 36.6% of our total net revenues in fiscal 2009.  This related party represented approximately 58.6% and approximately 49.6% of our accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These affiliated transactions may from time to time result in a conflict of interest for our management.  Because these transactions are not subject to the approval of our shareholders, investors in our company are wholly reliant upon the judgment of our management in these related party transactions.

The management of our company is located in the PRC and we are materially dependent upon advisory services of  U.S. advisors.

None of the current members of our management have any experience in U.S. public companies and these individuals are not fluent in English.

Until such time as we are able to expand our board of directors to include English-speaking individuals who have experience with the operation and regulatory framework applicable to U.S. public companies, we are materially dependent upon our relationship with our U.S. advisors.  If for any reason our Advisors should fail to provide the contracted services at the anticipated levels or fails to extend its services and we have not added members to our board of directors with the requisite experience we may be unable to prepare and file reports as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on a timely basis which could lead to our common stock being removed from the OTCBB.  In this event, your ability to liquidate your investment would be negatively impacted and you could lose your entire investment in our company.

As is customary in the PRC, we extend relatively long payment terms to our customers, including on sales to related parties, which can negatively impact our cash flows.  Our terms of sale generally require payment within four to six months, which is considerably longer than customary terms offered in the United States.  For fiscal 2009, the average time of payment on accounts receivable from non-related third parties was 121 days and the average time of payment on accounts receivable from related parties as 380 days, compared to 235 days from related parties in fiscal 2008; an increase of 145 days.  The Company would like to control the average time of payment on accounts receivable from related parties within 120 days.

We occasionally offer established customers, including related parties, longer payment terms of up to 240 days on new products as an incentive to purchase these products, which has served to further increase the average days outstanding for accounts receivable.  We maintain a relatively low reserve for doubtful accounts when compared to a company operating in the U.S.  Our payment terms may have the effect of adversely impacting our cash flow and our ability to fund our operations out of our operating cash flow. Our ability to continue to implement our growth strategy could suffer if our cash flows are adversely impacted which will have the effect of limiting our ability to increase our revenues in the future.

Certain agreements to which we are a party and are material to our operations lack various legal protections, which are customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the United States.

 
21

 

We are a Chinese company and all of our business and operations are conducted in China. We are a party to certain material contracts, including an agreement for the lease for our principal offices and manufacturing facility.  While these contracts contain the basic business terms of the agreements between the parties, these contracts do not contain certain provisions which are customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the U.S., such as representations and warranties of the parties, confidentiality and non-compete clauses, provisions outlining events of defaults, and termination and jurisdictional clauses.  Because our material contracts omit these types of clauses, notwithstanding the differences in Chinese and U.S. laws we may not have the same legal protections as we would if the contracts contained these additional provisions.  We anticipate that contracts we enter into in the future will likewise omit these types of legal protections.  While we have not been subject to any adverse consequences as a result of the omission of these types of clauses, and we consider the contracts to which we are a party to contain all the material terms of our business arrangements with the other party, future events may occur which lead to a dispute under agreements which could have been avoided if the contracts were prepared in conformity with U.S. standards. Contractual disputes which may arise from this lack of legal protections will divert management's time from the operation of our business and require us to expend funds attempting in settling a possible dispute.  This possible diversion of management time will limit the time our management would otherwise devote to the operation of our business, and the diversion of capital could limit the funds we have available to pay our ongoing operating expenses.

Each of our product groups operate in highly competitive businesses.

Each of our product groups is subject to competition from other manufacturers of similar products. There are approximately 1,000 manufacturers of similar disinfectant products in China, but only approximately 30 manufacturers, including our company, operate on a continuous basis with the remainder of other companies periodically entering the market in times of increased demand. While we believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of disinfectant products in the PRC, from time to time there is a sporadic oversupply of these products which can adversely impact our market share and competitive position in this product group.  As a result, we may not be able to effectively compete in our product segments which could have the effect of limiting our ability to sustain our current level of operations or grow our revenues in future periods.

Because of the specialized, technical nature of the business, we are highly dependent on certain members of management, as well as our marketing, engineering and technical staff.

The loss of the services of our current management and skill employees could have a material and negative effect on our ability to effectively pursue our business strategy.  In addition to manufacturing high volumes of our products and developing new products, we must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees, including additional skilled and experienced managerial, marketing, engineering and technical personnel. If we are unable to do so, our ability to grow our business and increase our revenues could be limited.

If we experience customer concentration, we may be exposed to all of the risks faced by our remaining material customers.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 revenues from one customer, ZhongYou Pharmaceutical, an affiliate, represented approximately 21% and approximately 27%, respectively, of our total net revenues.  Unless we maintain multiple customer relationships, it is likely that we will experience periods during which we will be highly dependent on a limited number of customers.  Dependence on a few customers could make it difficult to negotiate attractive prices for our products and could expose us to the risk of substantial losses if a single dominant customer stops conducting business with us.  Moreover, to the extent that we are dependent on any single customer, we are subject to the risks faced by that customer to the extent that such risks impede the customer's ability to stay in business and make timely payments to us.

We depend on factories to manufacture our products, which may be insufficiently insured against damage or loss.

We have no direct business operation, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries located in China, and the results of operations and our financial condition are solely dependent on our subsidiaries' factories in China.  We do not currently maintain insurance to protect against damage and loss to our facilities and other leasehold improvements.  Therefore, any material damage to, or the loss of, any of our facilities due to fire, severe weather, flooding or other cause, would not be shared with an insurance company, and if large enough, would have a material and negative effect on our financial condition.  If the damage was significant, we could be forced to stop operations until such time as the faculties could be repaired.

 
22

 

Our operations are subject to government regulation. If we fail to comply with the applicable regulations, our ability to operate in future periods could be in jeopardy.

We are subject to various state and local environmental laws related to our business. We are subject to local food, drug, environmental laws related to certification of manufacturing and distributing of any disinfectant.  We are also licensed by the Shanghai City Government to manufacture and distribute disinfectants.  While we are in substantial compliance with all provisions of those registrations, inspections and licenses and have no reason to believe that they will not be renewed as required by the applicable rules of the Central Government and the Shandong Province, any non-renewal of these authorities could result in the cessation of our business activities.

Due to recent incidents of pollution to milk powder by Melamine and increased medical accidents and disputes, the government will impose more stringent restrictions over the quality of products and distributions in markets, given tighter control over food, drug and disinfectant industries, which would add costs to our operations from compliance of all provisions of restrictions. Any incompliance with provisions of these restrictions would jeopardize our ability to operate in future.

We may not have sufficient protection of certain of our intellectual property.

We utilize certain technologies in the purification of raw material used in our products which are proprietary in nature.  We are not a party to any confidentiality or similar agreements with employees and third parties including consultants, vendors and customers and it not likely that we will enter into these types of agreements in the future.  It is possible that our employees or a third party could, without authorization, utilize our propriety technologies without our consent.  The unauthorized use of this proprietary information by third parties could adversely affect our business and operations as well as any competitive advantage we may have in our market segment.  We may not have adequate remedies for the protection of our proprietary technologies and these proprietary technologies could become known or independently developed by competitors, in which event our ability to effectively compete could be in jeopardy.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have reduced protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and other matters.

We are not subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we adopt any of the corporate governance measures that are required by the rules of national securities exchanges such as independent directors and audit committees.  It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of the corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct.  Prospective investors should bear consider our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

All of our assets and operations are located in the PRC and are subject to changes resulting from the political and economic policies of the Chinese government.

Our business operations could be restricted by the political environment in the PRC.  The PRC has operated as a socialist state since 1949 and is controlled by the Communist Party of China.  In recent years, however, the government has introduced reforms aimed at creating a "socialist market economy" and policies have been implemented to allow business enterprises greater autonomy in their operations.  Changes in the political leadership of the PRC may have a significant effect on laws and policies related to the current economic reform programs, other policies affecting business and the general political, economic and social environment in the PRC, including the introduction of measures to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad, and foreign investment.  Moreover, economic reforms and growth in the PRC have been more successful in certain provinces than in others, and the continuation or increases of such disparities could affect the political or social stability of the PRC.

Although we believe that the economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of China, the future direction of these economic reforms is uncertain and the uncertainty may decrease the attractiveness of our company as an investment, which may in turn result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

 
23

 

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities.  The government of the PRC has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership.  Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in the PRC or particular regions thereof.  In such an event, we could be forced to cease operations.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

Because all of revenues are in the form of Renminbi, any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.  Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies, after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business.  In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to government approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items.  We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions.

We may be unable to enforce our rights due to policies regarding the regulation of foreign investments in China.

The PRC's legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents, unlike the common law system prevalent in the United States.  The PRC does not have a well-developed, consolidated body of laws governing foreign investment enterprises.  As a result, the administration of laws and regulations by government agencies may be subject to considerable discretion and variation, and may be subject to influence by external forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter.  China's regulations and policies with respect to foreign investments are evolving.  Definitive regulations and policies with respect to such matters as the permissible percentage of foreign investment and permissible rates of equity returns have not yet been published.  Statements regarding these evolving policies have been conflicting and any such policies, as administered, are likely to be subject to broad interpretation and discretion and to be modified, perhaps on a case-by-case basis.  The uncertainties regarding such regulations and policies present risks which may affect our ability to achieve our stated business objectives.  If we are unable to enforce any legal rights we may have under our contracts or otherwise, our ability to compete with other companies in our industry could be limited which could result in a loss of revenue in future periods which could impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

Recent PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate, including our ability to pay dividends.

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China.  The public notice states that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities.  The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.

 
24

 

In April 2005, SAFE issued another public notice further explaining the January notice.  In accordance with the April 2005 notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the promulgation of the January 2005 notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch with respect to their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions, spin-off transaction or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations.  The April 2005 notice also provides that failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may result in restrictions on our PRC resident shareholders and our subsidiaries.  Pending the promulgation of detailed implementation rules, the relevant government authorities are reluctant to commence processing any registration or application for approval required under the SAFE notices.

In addition, on August 8, 2006, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), joined by the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, State Administration of Taxation, State Administration for Industry and Commerce, China Securities Regulatory Commission and SAFE, amended and released the Provisions for Foreign Investors to Merge and Acquire Domestic Enterprises, new foreign-investment rules which took effect September 8, 2006, superseding much, but not all, of the guidance in the prior SAFE circulars.  These new rules significantly revise China’s regulatory framework governing onshore-offshore restructurings and how foreign investors can acquire domestic enterprises.  These new rules signify greater PRC government attention to cross-border merger, acquisition and other investment activities, by confirming MOFCOM as a key regulator for issues related to mergers and acquisitions in China and requiring MOFCOM approval of a broad range of merger, acquisition and investment transactions.  Further, the new rules establish reporting requirements for acquisition of control by foreigners of companies in key industries, and reinforce the ability of the Chinese government to monitor and prohibit foreign control transactions in key industries.

These new rules may significantly affect the means by which offshore-onshore restructurings are undertaken in China in connection with offshore private equity and venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions.  It is expected that such transactional activity in China in the near future will require significant case-by-case guidance from MOFCOM and other government authorities as appropriate.  It is anticipated that application of the new rules will be subject to significant administrative interpretation, and we will need to closely monitor how MOFCOM and other ministries apply the rules to ensure its domestic and offshore activities continue to comply with PRC law.  Given the uncertainties regarding interpretation and application of the new rules, we may need to expend significant time and resources to maintain compliance.

It is uncertain how our business operations or future strategy will be affected by the interpretations and implementation of the SAFE notices and new rules.  Our business operations or future strategy could be adversely affected by the SAFE notices and the new rules.  For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.  Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC.  We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible.  If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.

PRC companies have historically not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, which includes strong corporate governance, internal controls and, computer, financial and other control systems.  In addition, we may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC.  As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.  Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls.  Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets.  Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements.  Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics.  Although we have adopted a Code of Ethics, we have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so.  We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently do not have any independent directors.  If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors.  It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct.  For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided.  Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our shareholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.  In addition, certain provisions of the Florida Statutes also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested shareholders.

In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors, of which no shares are currently outstanding.  Our Board of Directors may, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our stock price will fluctuate and could subject our company to litigation.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond its control.  These factors include:

·   Quarterly variations in operating results;
·   Changes in accounting treatments or principles;
·   Additions or departures of key personnel;
·   Stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded companies in general and Chinese-based companies in particular; and
·   General political, economic and market conditions.

Because our stock currently trades below $5.00 per share and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our stock is considered a "penny stock" which can adversely affect its liquidity.

 
26

 

As a result of the trading price of our common stock being less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a "penny stock," and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements.  The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent prior to the transaction.

SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a "penny stock," including the delivery of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks prior to any penny stock transaction.  These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few brokers or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance requirements.  In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks include price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock.  Payment of dividends will be made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, upon our earnings, capital requirements and our operating and financial condition.  At the present time, our anticipated financial capital requirements are such that we intend to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the development of our business.

While we have no current intention of paying dividends on our common stock, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries.  In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.

OVERVIEW

We operate under a holding company structure and currently have one direct 90% owned operating subsidiary, Linkwell Tech Group Inc. (“Linkwell Tech”) a Florida corporation.  Linkwell Tech owns 100% of Shanghai LiKang Disinfectant High-Tech Company, Limited (“LiKang Disinfectant”). On May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant sold 100% of Shanghai LiKang International Trade Company, Limited (“LiKang International”). On February 15, 2008, Linkwell Tech sold 10% of its issued and outstanding capital stock to Ecolab Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ecolab”).  On March 5, 2009, LiKang Disinfectant purchased 100% of LiKang Biological Company for approximately $291,792 (RMB 2,000,000), and 500,000 shares of our common stock.

Linkwell Corporation, through Linkwell Tech’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, LiKang Disinfectant and Likang Biological, is engaged in the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of disinfectant health care products primarily to the medical industry in China.

Since 1988 we have developed, manufactured and distributed disinfectant health care products primarily to the medical industry in China. In the last few years, China has witnessed a variety of public health crises, such as the outbreak of SARS, which demonstrated the need for increased health standards in China. In response, beginning in 2002, the Chinese government has undertaken various initiatives to improve public health and living standards, including continuing efforts to educate the public about the need for proper sanitation procedures and the establishment of production standards for the disinfectant industry in China. As a result of this heightened license and permit system, all disinfectant manufacturers must comply with “qualified disinfection product manufacturing enterprise requirements” established by the Ministry of Public Health. The requirements include standards for hardware, such as facilities and machinery, and software, including the technology to monitor the facilities, as well as the heightened knowledge and capability of the production staff regarding quality control procedures. Following the adoption of the industry standards in 2002, we have been granted thirty-one hygiene licenses by the Ministry of Public Health.

We believe that government standards adopted in July 2002 have increased the barriers to entry for competitors in the disinfectant industry in China. The implementation of these improved production standards and license requirements has effectively decreased the competitive landscape as it pertains to small to medium size manufacturers, since the new standards are especially difficult for companies with limited product offerings and inferior technical content. In addition, prior to the adoption of industry standards, disinfectant products were generally marketed and sold based on price as opposed to quality. We believe that as a result of the adoption of industry standards, the marketplace is evolving with a more stringent focus on product quality, which we believe will enable us to increase our base of commercial customers thereby increasing our revenues.

Historically, our focus has been on the commercial distribution of our products. Our customers include hospitals, medical suppliers and distribution companies throughout China. We have made efforts to expand our distribution reach to the retail market. We have repackaged certain of our commercial disinfectant products for sale to the consumer market and have commenced upon expanding our customer base to include hotels, schools, supermarkets and pharmacies. By virtue of the Chinese government's continuing focus on educating the Chinese population about the benefits of proper sanitation procedures, we believe that another key to increasing our revenues is the continued expansion of the retail distribution of our products.

 
29

 

The disinfectant industry in China is an emerging industry that is populated with small, regional companies. We estimate that there are in excess of 1,000 manufacturers and distributors of disinfectant products in China; however, most domestic competitors offer a limited line of products and there are only a few domestic companies with a nationwide presence. We believe that our national marketing and sales presence throughout all 22 provinces, as well as four autonomous regions, and four municipalities in China, gives us a competitive advantage over many other disinfectant companies in China, and will enable us to leverage the brand awareness for our products with commercial customers to the retail marketplace.
 
Our present manufacturing facilities and production capacities are sufficient for the foreseeable future, and we believe that we have the assets and capital available to us necessary to enable the increase of our revenues in future periods as the market for disinfectant products in China continues to increase.  We will continue to focus our efforts on the retail market for our products, as well as expanding our traditional base of commercial customers. In addition, we may also consider the possible acquisition of independent sales networks, which could be used to increase our product distribution capacity and align our company with small, regional companies in the industry.

NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $14,666,782, as compared to net revenues of $11,985,924 for the year of 2008, an increase of $2,680,858 or approximately 22.4%. This increase in revenues was due to increased demand from end customers as a result of increased recognition of our high-quality, competitively priced disinfectant products. Of our total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, $5,367,662 or approximately 36.6% were attributable to related parties as compared to net revenues of $2,623,560, or approximately 21.9% were attributable to related parties in 2008.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues includes raw materials and manufacturing costs, which includes labor, rent and an allocated portion of overhead expenses, such as utilities, directly related to product production. For the year ended December 31, 2009, cost of revenues amounted to $6,501,335 or approximately 44.3% of net revenues as compared to cost of revenues of $5,963,830, or approximately 49.8% of net revenues in 2008.  The increase in cost of sales is attributed to the increase of production and sales volume in 2009; while the decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to the stable raw material cost compared to the cost in 2008, improved economies of scale on fixed costs as a result of increased production, and our continuous improvement on control of the manufacturing costs. We purchase raw materials from several primary suppliers and we have purchase contracts with these suppliers in an effort to ensure a steady supply of raw materials.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $8,165,447, or approximately 55.7% of net revenues, as compared to $6,022,094, or approximately 50.2% of revenues for the year of 2008. The increase in our gross profits and gross profit margin was mainly due to the decrease of cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue while our sales activities increased.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses; for the year ended December 31, 2009, total operating expenses were $4,007,238, an increase of $491,480, or approximately 14%, from total operating expenses of $3,515,758 for the year of 2008. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to a proportional increase in selling expenses with our increased sales and production.  In addition, we incurred non-cash consulting fees during the year ended December 31, 2009 of $408,014 as compared to $188,833 for the year of 2008, an increase of $219,181. Non-cash consulting fees represent the amortization of fees to consultants under agreements entered into during the year, which was paid by issuance of our common shares.

DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant entered into a stock purchase agreement under which it sold 100% of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang International to Linkwell Trading. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, LiKang Disinfectant will receive $291,754 (RMB 2,000 000) once the agreement is approved by the Ministry of Commerce, the People’s Republic of China.

As of May 31, 2008, the Company had classified LiKang International business as a discontinued operation. For the year ended December 31, 2008, gain from discontinued operations was $65,083.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

On February 15, 2008, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Ecolab, pursuant to which Ecolab agreed to purchase and Linkwell Tech agreed to sell 888,889 of its shares, or 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Linkwell Tech, for $2,000,000. On March 28, 2008 and June 4, 2008, Linkwell Tech received $200,000 and $1,388,559, respectively, from Ecolab. Including the $400,000 loan that Ecolab released to Linkwell Tech and accrued interest of $11,441, Linkwell Tech received a total of $2,000,000 from Ecolab. On May 31, 2008, the Company, Linkwell Tech and Ecolab entered into a Linkwell Tech Group Inc. Stockholders Agreement, whereby both the Company and Ecolab are subject to, and benefit by, certain pre-emptive rights, transfer restrictions and take along rights relating to the shares of Linkwell Tech that the Company and Ecolab each hold. As of May 31, 2008, the principal and accrued interest of $11,441 on the short-term $400,000 loan became part of Ecolab’s investment and no longer needed to be repaid. After this transaction, Ecolab became the 10% minority interest holder of Linkwell Tech. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a minority interest expense of $381,441 as compared to $149,505 for the year of 2008.

NET INCOME 

Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $3,060,793 compared to $1,629,270 for 2008, an increase of $1,431,523 or 87.8%.  Net income as a percentage of revenue was 20.9% in 2009 while it was 13.6% in 2008. This increase in net income was attributable to economies of scale combined with rapid growth in revenue and efficiency of operations.  Our management believes that net income will continue to increase as we continue to increase our sales, offer better quality products and control our manufacturing costs.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, our working capital increased $2,154,726 or approximately 21.7% from $9,951,925 on December 31, 2008 to $12,106,651 on December 31, 2009. With the expansion of our businesses, we anticipate the need to utilize our capital resources in the near future. In addition to our working capital, we intend to obtain required capital through a combination of bank loans and the sale of our equity securities. Although we are not party to any commitments or agreements at this time to provide us with additional bank financing or to sell our securities, we are optimistic that we will be able to obtain additional capital resources to fund our business expansions.

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. At December 31, 2009, we had a total of $380,774 in outstanding short term loans, which will mature on June 16, 2010. Other than our working capital and loans, we presently have no other alternative capital resources available to us. We plan to build additional product lines and upgrade our manufacturing facilities in order to expand our production capacity and improve the quality of our products. Based on our preliminary estimates, upgrades and expansion will require additional capital of approximately $1 million.

We need to raise additional capital resources to meet the demands described above. We may raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. There can be no assurances that any additional debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. The inability to obtain debt or equity financing could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, and as a result we could be required to cease or significantly reduce our operations, seek a merger partner or sell additional securities on terms that may be disadvantageous to shareholders.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments: allowance for doubtful accounts; income taxes; stock-based compensation; asset impairment and option value.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of accounts receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. We initially record a provision for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience, and then adjust this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, we consider: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable; (ii) trends within and ratios involving the age of the accounts receivable; (iii) the customer mix in each of the aging categories and the nature of the receivable; (iv) our historical provision for doubtful accounts; (v) the credit worthiness of the customer; and (vi) the economic conditions of the customer's industry as well as general economic conditions, among other factors.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

In general, our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 480). We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company.

Our revenues from the sale of products to related parties are recorded when the goods are shipped to the customers from our related parties. Upon shipment, title passes, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We receive purchase orders from our related parties on an as need basis from the related party customers. Generally, the related party does not hold our inventory. If the related party has inventory on hand at the end of a reporting period, the sale is reversed and the inventory is included in our balance sheet.

 
33

 

INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes in accordance with, Accounting for Income Taxes, which prescribes the use of the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, we increase or decrease our income tax provision in our statement of operations. If any of our estimates of our prior period taxable income or loss prove to be incorrect, material differences could impact the amount and timing of income tax benefits or payments for any period. In addition, as a result of the significant change in our ownership, our future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

The Company currently operates in the PRC, however, our operations could change in the near future and we could be subject to tax liability involving a consideration of uncertainties in the application and interpretation of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across operations in other countries.

We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The tax liabilities are reflected net of realized tax loss carry forwards. We adjust these reserves upon specific events; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the contingency has been resolved and the liabilities are no longer necessary.

Changes in tax laws, regulations, agreements and treaties, foreign currency exchange restrictions or our level of operations or profitability in each taxing jurisdiction could have an impact upon the amount of income taxes that we provide during any given year.

STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION

We account for share-based payments in accordance with, Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.

FOREIGN CURRENTY TRANSLATION AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Our functional currency is the Chinese yuan - renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB was translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income." Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

We use Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of shareholders’ equity, except those due to investments by shareholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) regarding measuring liabilities at fair value. This ASU provides additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available; under those circumstances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of valuation techniques, as defined. This ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 , “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009-01”).  ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP.  Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), codified as FASB ASC Topic 810-10, which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 167 will have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), codified as FASB Topic ASC 860, which requires entities to provide more information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 166 will have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 
35

 
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”) codified in FASB ASC Topic 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of 2009. SFAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 825-10-50. This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures are required beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 320-10. This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulate other comprehensive income. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. SFAS 157-4”). FSP No. SFAS 157-4, which is codified in FASB ASC Topics 820-10-35-51 and 820-10-50-2, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value and emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties.  We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our stock and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.  Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.  We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, our principal executive officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and includes those policies and procedures that:

  •   Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

  •   Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
  •   Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
37

 

 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to a material weakness. This material weakness is that all of our employees and accounting staff are located in the PRC and we do not presently have a chief financial officer, comptroller or similarly titled senior financial officer who is bilingual and experienced in the application of U.S. GAAP.  We have taken the steps to eliminate this material weakness including the hiring of additional accounting consulting staff to review and oversee our application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States to bring additional financial expertise to our organization and to facilitate the flow of information to our independent accountants.  This accounting consulting staff has assisted us in implementing additional practices to ensure that we (i) properly accrue undeclared and unpaid dividends, (ii) properly record related party transactions, and (iii) properly account for changes in loans payable.  However, until we expand our full time staff to include a bilingual senior financial officer who has the requisite experience necessary, as well as supplement the accounting knowledge of our staff, notwithstanding the guidance provided to us by the accounting consulting staff we could continue to have material weaknesses in our disclosure controls that may lead to restatements of our financial statements.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) that occurered during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee or any committees performing a similar function.  The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole.  Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board of Directors believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees.  We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed.  Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.  Given that all of our operations are located in the PRC and our lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future.  While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

None of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.  In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:

·   Understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
·   Is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
·   Has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
·   Understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
·   Understands audit committee functions.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of individuals who were integral to our formation and who are involved in our day to day operations.  While we would prefer that one or more of our directors be an audit committee financial expert, none of these individuals who have been key to our development have professional backgrounds in finance or accounting. When we are able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an Audit Committee.  It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert.  Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor is our Board of Directors required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Linkwell Tech's wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang Disinfectant, is engaged in business activities with four related parties: Shanghai ZhongYou Pharmaceutical High-Tech Co., Ltd., (“ZhongYou”), Shanghai LiKang Biological High-Tech Co., Ltd. (“Likang Biological”), Shanghai Jiuqing Pharmaceuticals Company, Ltd (“Shanghai Jiuqing”) and Linkwell International Trading Co., Ltd (“Linkwell Trading ”). Shanghai LiKang Meirui Pharmaceuticals High-Tech Co., Ltd (“Meirui”), a company of which Shanhai is a majority shareholder, and had owned 68% of its Meirui equity shares used to be a related party. However due to the fact that Linkwell Tech acquired Shanghai Shanhai’s 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant for total consideration of $684,057 which included the cash payment of $399,057 and 1,500,000 common shares at value of $0.19 per share. As a result of this transaction, Meirui was no longer a related party.  Likang Disinfectant completed its acquisition of Likang Biological on March 3, 2009; therefore, Likang Biological was no longer a related party of the Company since then, all the sales and purchase with Likang Biological were eliminated for the consolidation.

Shanghai ZhongYou Pharmaceutical High-Tech Co., Limited.

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Xuelian Bian, and Vice President and Director, Wei Guan, own 90% and 10% respectively, of the capital stock of ZhongYou. In March 2007, Wei Guan sold his 10% interest to Bing Chen, President of LiKang Disinfectant. In August 2007, Xuelian Bian sold his 90% shares to his mother, Xiuyue Xing. In October, 2007, the two new shareholders, Bing Chen (10%) and Xiuyue Xing (90%) sold all of their shares in ZhongYou to Shanghai Jiuqing Pharmaceuticals Company, Ltd., whose 100% owner is Shanghai Ajiao Shiye Co. Ltd. Mr. Bian is a 60% shareholder of Shanghai Ajiao Shiye Co. Ltd. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded net revenues of $4,983,962 and $1,748,547 to ZhongYou respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, accounts receivable from sales to ZhongYou were $3,322,044 and $2,114,681, respectively. In general, accounts receivable due from ZhongYou are payable in cash and are due within 4 to 6 months, which approximate normal business terms with independent third parties.

Shanghai Jiuqing Pharmaceuticals Company, Limited.

Shanghai Ajiao Shiye Co. Ltd. owns 100% of Shanghai Jiuqing Pharmaceuticals Company, Ltd (“Shanghai Jiuqing”). Xuelian Bian is a 60% shareholder of Shanghai Ajiao Shiye Co. Ltd.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Linkwell Corporation and Subsidiaries
Shanghai, China

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Linkwell Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Linkwell Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LINKWELL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
(AUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Linkwell Corporation (formerly Kirshner Entertainment & Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 11, 1996. On May 31, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of HBOA.com, Inc. On December 28, 2000, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Aerisys Incorporated (“Aerisys”), a Florida corporation, to handle commercial private business. In June 2003, the Company formed its entertainment division and changed its name to reflect this new division. Effective as of March 31, 2003, the Company discontinued their entertainment division and their technology division, except for the Aerisys operations that continues on a limited basis.

On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into and consummated a share exchange with all of the shareholders of Linkwell Tech Group, Inc. (“Linkwell Tech”). Pursuant to the share exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Linkwell Tech's common stock, in exchange for 36,273,470 shares of our common stock, which at closing represented approximately 87.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the transaction, Linkwell Tech became our wholly-owned subsidiary. For financial accounting purposes, the exchange of stock was treated as a recapitalization of Kirshner with the former shareholders of the Company retaining 7,030,669 or approximately 12.5% of the outstanding stock. The consolidated financial statements reflect the change in the capital structure of the Company due to the recapitalization and in the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods presented.

Linkwell Tech was founded on June 22, 2004, as a Florida corporation. On June 30, 2004, Linkwell Tech acquired 90% of Shanghai LiKang Disinfectant High-Tech Company, Ltd. (“LiKang Disinfectant”) through a stock exchange. This transaction resulted in the formation of a U.S. holding company by the shareholders of LiKang Disinfectant as it did not result in a change in the underlying ownership interest of LiKang Disinfectant. LiKang Disinfectant is a science and technology enterprise founded in 1988. LiKang Disinfectant is involved in the development, production, marketing and sale, and distribution of disinfectant health care products.

LiKang Disinfectant has developed a line of disinfectant product offerings which are utilized by the hospital and medical industry in China. LiKang Disinfectant has developed a line of disinfectant product offerings. LiKang Disinfectant regards hospital disinfectant products as the primary segment of its business and has developed and manufactured several series of products in the field of skin mucous disinfection, hand disinfection, surrounding articles disinfection, medical instruments disinfection and air disinfection.
 
F-7


On June 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment of its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Linkwell Corporation. The effective date of the name change was after close of business on August 16, 2005.

On April 6, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Linkwell Tech, entered into two material stock purchase agreements as follows:

i) Linkwell Tech entered into an agreement (the “Biological Stock Purchase Agreement”) to acquire a 100% equity interest in Shanghai LiKang Biological High-Tech Company, Ltd. (“LiKang Biological”), a Chinese company, in a related party transaction with Mr. Xuelian Bian, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wei Guan, the Company’s Vice-President and Director, and Shanghai Likang Pharmaceuticals Technology Co., Ltd. (“LiKang Pharmaceutical”). Before the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Bian and Mr. Guan owned 90% and 10% of LiKang Pharmaceutical, respectively. Mr. Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical owned 60% and 40% of LiKang Biological, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical were to receive 1,000,000 shares of Linkwell Corporation restricted common stock.
 
Due to restrictions under PRC law that prohibited the consideration contemplated by the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement, the agreement did not close. As a result, on March 25, 2008, the parties agreed to enter into an amendment to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement (“Biological Amendment”) in an effort to complete the stock purchase transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Biological Amendment, the only material change to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement related to the consideration paid by Linkwell Tech to Xuelian Bian and LiKang Pharmaceutical, which was changed from 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to $200,000 and 500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement was pending and required further approval from the PRC Ministry of Commerce. Due to the time consuming and complicated nature of the approval procedure, the parties agreed to enter into a second amendment   to the Biological Stock Purchase Agreement in order to complete the purchase transactions timely and properly. Pursuant to the terms of the Biological Amendment, the purchaser was changed from Linkwell Tech to LiKang Disinfectant, in addition, the consideration changed to RMB 2, 000,000, approximately $292,500 and 500,000 shares of common stock. Approval from Ministry of Commerce, in the People’s Republic of China will not be necessary if LiKang Disinfectant acquires 100% of the equity interest in LiKang Biological, because both companies are companies registered in PRC. This transaction closed on March 5, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the LiKang Disinfectant increased its investment into Likang Biological by injecting RMB 2.5 million cash and intangible assets (patents) of RMB 5.5 million.  Likang Biological is mainly engaged in producing the disinfectant concentrate.

ii) Linkwell Tech, which already owned a 90% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant, was to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest of LiKang Disinfectant from Shanghai Shanhai Group, a non-affiliated Chinese entity (the “Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement, Shanghai Shanhai Group was to receive 3,000,000 shares of Linkwell Corporation restricted common stock.

Due to restrictions under PRC law that prohibited the consideration then contemplated by the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement, the agreement did not close. As a result of this, on March 25, 2008, the parties agreed to enter into an amendment to the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement (“Disinfectant Amendment”) in an effort to complete the stock purchase transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Disinfectant Amendment, the only material change to the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement related to the consideration paid by Linkwell Tech to the Shanghai Shanhai Group for the remaining 10% equity interest, which was changed from 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, to $380,000 and 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. Due to the fluctuation of the applicable exchange rate, the cash consideration was increased to $399,057. The other terms of the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement remained in full force and effective.
 
F-8

 
Linkwell Tech paid $395,800 to the Shanghai Shanhai Group on February 21, 2008 and paid $3,257 on April 18, 2008. A total of 1,500,000 shares were expected to be issued before the end of May, 2008. The parties agreed to extend the share issuance date until October 20, 2008. The Company valued the acquisition using the fair value of common shares at $0.19 per share and recorded an investment of $285,000. Including the cash payment of $399,057, the total investment for acquiring 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant was $684,057. The cumulative minority interest of 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant at March 25, 2008, was approximately $557,779. The difference between the total investment and the cumulative minority interest of $126,278 was deducted from retained earnings as dividends to the 10% minority shareholder, Shanghai Shanhai Group. As a result of the closing of the Disinfectant Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, as of March 25, 2008, our 90% owned subsidiary Linkwell Tech owns 100% of the equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant.
 
On February 15, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Ecolab Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ecolab”), pursuant to which Ecolab agreed to purchase 888,889 of shares of Linkwell Tech, or 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Linkwell Tech, for $2,000,000. On March 28, 2008 and June 4, 2008, Linkwell Tech received $200,000 and $1,388,559, respectively from Ecolab. Including a $400,000 loan that Linkwell Tech received from Ecolab and accrued interest thereon of $11,441, Linkwell Tech received a total investment of $2,000,000 from Ecolab. On May 31, 2008, the Company, Linkwell Tech and Ecolab entered into a Linkwell Tech Group Inc. Stockholders Agreement, whereby both the Company and Ecolab are subject to, and beneficiaries of, certain pre-emptive rights, transfer restrictions and take along rights relating to the shares of Linkwell Tech that the Company and Ecolab each hold. As of May 31, 2008, the principal and accrued interest of $11,441 on the short-term $400,000 loan became part of Ecolab’s investment and does not need to be repaid.
 
On May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant entered into a stock purchase agreement under which it sold 100% of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang International, to Linkwell International Trading Co., Ltd, a company registered in Hong Kong which is 100% owned by Mr. Wei Guan, the Company’s Vice President, and Director.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, LiKang Disinfectant received $291,754 (RMB 2,000,000) once the agreement was approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce with such approval occurring on March 27, 2008.
  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in US dollars.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to current year presentation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its 90% owned subsidiary, Linkwell Tech, and 100% owned subsidiaries LiKang Disinfectant and Likang Biological. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, useful life of property and equipment, inventory reserve and option value.

NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCIs) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability (as was previously the case), that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.
 
F-9


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances from customers, short-term loans payable and amounts due from or to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.  ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
 As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
 
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had established, based on a review of its third party accounts receivable outstanding balances, allowances for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $476,491 and $801,895, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had established, based on a review of its related party accounts receivable outstanding balances, allowances for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $319,200 and $376,437, respectively.
 
INVENTORIES

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method.  The valuation of inventory requires the Company to estimate obsolete or excess inventory based on analysis of future demand for our products. Due to the nature of the Company’s business and our target market, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, changes in demand due to price changes from competitors and introduction of new products are not significant factors when estimating the Company’s excess or obsolete inventory. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or lack of demand, inventory write-downs may be recorded as deemed necessary by management for the difference between the cost and the market value in the period that impairment is first recognized. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the reserve for obsolete inventory amounted to $0 and $145,031, respectively.
 
F-10

 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from five to twenty years. The cost of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

 
ADVANCES FROM CUSTOMERS

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, advances from customers were $142,137 and $91,326, respectively, which consisted of prepayments from third party customers to the Company for merchandise that had not yet been shipped by the Company. The Company will recognize the prepayments as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company records discontinued operations if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. In a period in which a component of the Company either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the income statement of the Company for current and prior periods shall report the results of operations of the component, including any gain or loss recognized in accordance with “Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” in discontinued operations. The results of operations of a component classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which they occur. The results of discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as a separate component of income before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of accounting changes (if applicable).

On May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant entered into a stock sale agreement under which it sold 100% shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang International to Linkwell International Trading Co., Ltd, a company registered in Hong Kong. For the period before May 31, 2008, the income statement of the Company reported the results of operations of LiKang International as discontinued operations.
 
F-11


INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (codified in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC” Topic 740), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or shareholders’ equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company presents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). Accordingly, basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as well as common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible notes. The Company has made an accounting policy election to use the if-converted method for convertible securities that are eligible to participate in common stock dividends, if declared. If the if-converted method was anti-dilutive (that is, the if-converted method resulted in a higher net income per common share amount than basic net income per share calculated under the two-class method), then the two-class method was used to compute diluted net income per common share, including the effect of common share equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur based on the exercise of stock options or warrants, unless such exercise would be anti-dilutive, with an exercise price of less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 230, cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.  

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the U.S. and in China. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally wide distribution of our products and shorter payment terms than customary in the PRC. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. For the years ended at December 31, 2009 and 2008, sales to related parties accounted for 37% and 22% of net revenues, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The accounts of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (RMB) and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in the U.S. Dollar (USD). The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," (codified FASB ASC Topic 830), with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiaries. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220).
 
 
SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $441,950 and $269,518 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

ADVERTISING

Advertising is expensed as incurred and included in selling expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, advertising expenses amounted to $108,026 and $64,773 respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (codified in FASB ASC Topics 718 & 505). The Company recognizes in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
 
F-14

 
NON-EMPLOYEE STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The cost of stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS

The Company accounts for payment arrangements under registration rights agreement in accordance with FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 815), which requires the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (codified in FASB ASC Topic 450).

The Company has adopted “Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument. Accordingly, the Company classifies as liability instruments, the fair value of registration rights agreements when such agreements (i) require it to file, and cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act, a registration statement with the SEC within contractually fixed time periods, and (ii) provide for the payment of liquidating damages in the event of its failure to comply with such agreements. Accordingly, (i) registration rights with these characteristics are accounted for as derivative financial instruments at fair value and (ii) contracts that are (a) indexed to and potentially settled in an issuer's own stock and (b) permit gross physical or net share settlement with no net cash settlement alternative are classified as equity instruments.
 
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COST 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily consist of cost of materials used and salaries paid for the development department of the Company and fees paid to third parties. Research and development costs for the years ended at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $108,026 and $63,552, respectively.
 
SEGMENT REPORTING

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (codified in FASB ASC Topic 280) requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment. All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
F-15

 
In August 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) regarding measuring liabilities at fair value. This ASU provides additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available; under those circumstances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of valuation techniques, as defined. This ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 , “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009-01”).  ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP.  Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), codified as FASB ASC Topic 810-10, which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 167 will have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), codified as FASB Topic ASC 860, which requires entities to provide more information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 166 will have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”) codified in FASB ASC Topic 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of 2009. SFAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 825-10-50. This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures are required beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
F-16


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 320-10. This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulate other comprehensive income. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. SFAS 157-4”). FSP No. SFAS 157-4, which is codified in FASB ASC Topics 820-10-35-51 and 820-10-50-2, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value and emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Shanghai LiKang Meirui Pharmaceuticals High-Tech Co., Ltd (“Meirui”), a company of which Shanhai is a majority shareholder, and had owned 68% of its Meirui equity shares used to be a related partyhowever due to the fact that Linkwell Tech acquired Shanhai’s 10% equity interest in LiKang Disinfectant for total consideration of $684,057 which included the cash payment of $399,057 and 1,500,000 common shares at value of $0.19 per share.As a result of this transaction, Meirui was no longer a related party.  Likang Disinfectant completed its acquisition of Likang Biological on March 3, 2009; therefore, Likang Biological was no longer a related party of the Company since then, all the sales and purchase with Likang Biological were eliminated during the consolidation.

NOTE 10 - DISCONTINUED OPERATION

Due to losses and uncertainty about future profitability, on May 31, 2008, LiKang Disinfectant entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which it sold 100% of the equity interest of its wholly-owned subsidiary, LiKang International to Linkwell Trading.

 
As of May 31, 2008, the Company has classified the LiKang International business as discontinued operation. The initial investment to LiKang International was $291,754 (RMB 2,000,000). For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the total gain from discontinued operations was $65,083 including a gain from the disposal of the operation amounting to $39,761. The Company will receive $291,792 (RMB2, 000,000) from Linkwell International Trading Co., Ltd.


NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to income taxes by entity on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

Linkwell Corp and Linkwell Tech were incorporated in the US and have net operating losses (NOL) for income tax purposes.  Linkwell Corp and Linkwell Tech had net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes of approximately $1,807,000 at December 31, 2009 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income as NOL’s can be carried forward up to 20 years from the year the loss is incurred. Under IRC section 382, certain of these loss carryforward amounts may be limited due to the more than 50% change in ownership which took place during 2004. Management believes the realization of benefits from these losses uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the deferred tax asset of approximately $690,000.

Likang Disinfectant and Likang Biological are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning privately-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated tax adjustments.  Likang Disinfectant is subject to preferential income tax rate of 12.5% for 2009 and 2008; Likang Bio is subject preferential income tax rate of 20% for 2009.

NOTE 17 – OPERATING RISK

(a)
Country risk

Currently, the Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of a line of disinfectant product offerings to customers in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Company hopes to expand its operations to countries outside the PRC, however, such expansion has not been commenced and there are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve such an expansion successfully. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
 
(b)
Products risk

In addition to competing with other domestic manufacturers of disinfectant product offerings, the Company competes with larger U.S. companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel. These U.S. companies may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive should this occur.

(c)
Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi converted to US dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

(d)
Political risk

Currently, the PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into the PRC. Additionally, the PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.
