History
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 1996 under the name Laredo Investment Corp.  (“Laredo”).

On January 21, 2000, Laredo entered into an acquisition agreement with GFR Pharma, Ltd. (“Pharma”) (formerly GFR Nutritionals, Ltd.), a British Columbia corporation. The transaction was recorded as a reverse acquisition. In June 1998 Pharma changed its name to GFR Nutritionals Ltd. Business operations began in October 1998 after acquiring manufacturing equipment and arranging to manufacture nutritional supplements under a private label contract.
 
On June 21, 2000, we entered into an acquisition agreement with Nutritionals (USA) Direct.Com, a Washington corporation, (“NDC”), to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of NDC in exchange for $1,000. The transaction has been recorded as a purchase. NDC’s operations were wound down in October 2002 and we became dormant.
 
On November 1, 2000, we entered into an acquisition agreement with GFR Health, Inc. (Formerly R & L Health, Inc.), a British Columbia corporation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of GFR Health, Inc. in exchange for $0.01. The transaction was recorded as a purchase.
 
On April 5, 2004, GFR Nutritionals Ltd. and R&L Health Inc changed their names to GFR Pharma Ltd. and GFR Health Inc., respectively.  On August 9, 2004, Laredo Investment Corp. changed its name to GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“GFR”).

On June 26, 2006, we and our predecessor executed a Plan of Exchange with Shaan xi New Century Technology Investment Development Company, Ltd. (“New Century”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, with Richard Pierce, the former president and our former majority shareholder and Mr. Guo Li An, the majority shareholder of New Century.

On October 15, 2006, we executed an acquisition agreement (the “Hua Long Agreement”) with Xi'an Hua Long Yu Tian Ke Ji Shi Ye Co., Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“Hua Long”), Dong  Jian Zhong and Guo Li Zheng, the shareholders of Hua Long (collectively "Hua Long Shareholders").

Pursuant to the Hua Long Agreement, we paid Hua Long Shareholders approximately $187,500 in cash to acquire 100% interest in the shares of registered capital of Hua Long. Hua Long acts as the holding company of New Century. The acquisition of Hua Long allowed us to complete the legal processing regarding the share exchange with New Century in China. Upon completion of the acquisition, we owned 100% interest of Hua Long and 95% interest of New Century through Hua Long. Consolidated financial statements are filed in this annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
On December 11, 2006, pursuant to the Plan of Exchange Agreement, Mr. Pierce delivered 200,000 shares of our common stock to New Century and/or its nominee in exchange for total payments of $325,000 in cash and we issued to the New Century shareholders an amount equal to 40,000,000 new investment shares of our common stock pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, representing approximately 95% of our then outstanding shares of common stock, in exchange for a 95% interest in the shares of registered capital of New Century. Upon completion of the exchange, New Century became our 95% owned indirect subsidiary.

Recent Developments

On January 1, 2008, New Century entered into a stock purchase agreement with the holders of all 60,000,000 shares of the capital stock of Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co., Ltd (“Bao Sai”) to acquire 58,060,000 shares of  their capital stocks of Bao Sai, or 96.77% of its capital stock.  The purchase price for Bao Sai equaled 96.77% of Bao Sai’s stockholders’ equity based on Bao Sai’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

On May 14, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Bao Sai for total consideration of $4,500,211 (approximately RMB33,000,000) for 96.77% of its equity interest in Bao Sai, based on the aggregate net book value of total assets and liabilities of Bao Sai as of December 31, 2007. The closing date was January 1, 2008. Upon the completion of the transaction, Bao Sai became a subsidiary of the Company.  Prior to the closing of the transaction, the Company and Bao Sai were under common control and the principal owners of Bao Sai were affiliated with the Company.  Payment of the purchase price was made in two cash installments commencing in 2008, first to Xi’an Bio-sep Biological Filling Engineering Technology Company, Ltd., the owner of 28 million shares, or 46.67% of Bao Sai, and the balance in 2009 to the other three selling stockholders, in amounts equal to their respective percentage of share ownership pro rata of Bao Sai.

Bao Sai is engaged in research, development, manufacturing and the sale of biological separation medium products, which are technological know-how and devices engineered to separate and purify biological products and medicines.  Separation medium products are used in the production of antibiotics, genetic recombinant medicine, bacterin production, the gene chip, diagnostic reagents and other biochemical products.  Bao Sai’s principal office and manufacturing facility is located at 99 Yan Xiang Road, Biosep Building, Xi An, Shaan Xi Province, P. R. China.  

Mr. Wang Li-An, one of the Company’s directors, is also a director of Bao Sai. Bao Sai is controlled by Mr. Guo Li An, who owns 38.03% of the Company.   Mr. Guo Li Zheng, who is Guo Li An’s brother, owns   3.23% of the Bao Sai common stock and no shares of the Company.   Additionally, Mr. Zhao Yan Ding and Ms. Zhong Ya Li, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, were officers of Bao Sai through the date of the acquisition agreement.
 
Overview of Business

GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a holding company with two business segments.  The Company is involved in a Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center, which is a joint operation of PET Scanner and Rotary Gamma Ray Stereotactic Neurosurgery System imaging center in the PRC. The Company also operates a biological extraction business that extracts raw materials to medicine ingredients and distributes the extracted ingredients for medicine manufacturing uses.

The Company owns 100% of Hua Long’s outstanding common stock. Hua Long is approved in China to, among other things, engage in industrial chromatography to separate and purify chemical components for further use in agricultural and biotechnology products and in medicines, as well as for the research, development, manufacture and sale of biological separation medium products. However, Hua Long currently has no operating business and serves as a holding company for the operating subsidiary, New Century. Hua Long owns 95% of the outstanding stock of New Century.  

Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center

New Century owns radiology and oncology equipment and provides it to Tangdu Hospital, which is affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University. New Century currently owns three different devices used for radiological imaging for the brain and body and cancer treatment. The Company’s medical equipment is used in Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”).

New Century entered into its relationship with Tangdu Hospital on February 2, 2006, when it accepted the rights and responsibilities previously held by Masep Medical Science & Technology Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Masep”) which Masep undertook pursuant to the “Cooperation Establishment of ‘Tangdu Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center’ Agreement” by and between Masep and Tandgu Hospital, dated May 18, 2001, as amended (the “Tangdu Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Tangdu Agreement, New Century presently receives seventy percent (70%) of the profits generated by the Center. New Century’s profit sharing percentage decreases over the term of the Tangdu Agreement, which is sixteen years from the date that the Center opened in January 2002. The respective profit sharing ratios and time periods are as follows:
 
 
1.
From January 2002 through December 2003, 90% to Masep;

 
2.
From January 2004 through December 2008, 80% to Masep (or to New Century, giving effect to the assignment as of February 2006);

 
3.
From January 2009 through December 2011, 70% to New Century;
 
 
4

 
 
 
4.
From January 2012 through December 2014, 60% to New Century;

 
5.
From January 2015 through December 2017, 50% to New Century.
 
Pursuant to the Tangdu Agreement, New Century has the power to appoint the Director of the Gamma Knife Center. Upon the termination of the Tangdu Agreement, the Tangdu Hospital has an option to purchase the equipment for fifty percent of its residual value.  

As of December 31, 2010, New Century owned three different devices used in the medical centers, and the profit sharing percentage to New Century was  70 %. The cases processed in Tangdu Gamma Knife Therapeutithec Center (the “Center”), averaged 292 cases per month in 2010, and 254 cases per month in 2009.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Center accounted for $3,950,033, or 92%, of the Company’s revenues.
 
Tangdu Hospital is located in Xi’an, a city of over 9-million people and is the capital of Shaan Xi province. With our competitive facilities, services, and reputation of Tangdu Hospital in Northwest China including Shaan Xi province and four other adjacent provinces, our medical center business has a good potential to grow. To grasp this market opportunity, New Century intends to expand the operation by investing in an additional tumor therapy center or hospital and a modernized tumor institute However, such expansion will require additional capital.
 
Biological Separation Medium Product and Pharmaceutical Business

In 2008, New Century acquired 96.77% of the equity in Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co Ltd. (“Bao Sai”). Bao Sai is engaged in research, development, manufacture and distribution of biological separation medium products which are used to recover and purify biosynthetic products, particularly pharmaceuticals, from natural sources such as animal or plant tissue or fermentation broth, including the recycling of salvageable components and the proper treatment and disposal of waste. Biological separation medium products are integral to the production of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, hormones (e.g. insulin and human growth hormone), antibodies, and vaccines; antibodies and enzymes used in diagnostics; industrial enzymes; and natural fragrance and flavor compounds.
 
 The operations of Bao Sai are in the development stage and most of its efforts are focused on the research and development of new pharmaceutical and agricultural medium products, and the networking and advertisement to market these products in the future.  In 2009, Bao Sai spent approximately $50,400 (2008: $690,991) in research and development of new biological separation medium products and new medicine. Most of the money was used to fund local medical institutions in the development of new products.

Pursuant to this effort, Bao Sai entered into a Research and Development Cooperation Contract with XiAn Jiao Tong University R&D Center for Natural Chinese Medicine and Engineering (“the University”) in 2005.  According to the Cooperation Contract, Bao Sai provides funds in the research on the use of biological separation technology in the development of Xin Kang Ping medicine to treat heart diseases. The University performs all the laboratory work related to the general research project and toxic tests as the prerequisites of the clinical trial process for the application of a new medicine. The University presents the research results to Bao Sai, and Bao Sai has the right to the project report and possible patent rights as a result of the project. This contract expired on August 25, 2008 and was not renewed. However, we have been able to continue the pharmacodynamics test and toxicology test as the prerequisite to the commencement of clinical trials for the development of Xin Kang Ping medicine. These two tests are close to successful completion. As the rules of the State Food and Drug Administration of China (“SFDA”), now, Xin Kang Ping was changed its name to Fu Fang Dan Chuan Jiao Nang and we are in the process of applying for the clinical trial process with the State Food and Drug Administration of China (“SFDA”). Upon the approval of the SFDA, we will start clinical trials for Fu Fang Dan Chuan Jiao Nang . Less time is generally required in China than in the United States to complete the clinical trials for a new medicine, and the cost of clinical trials in China is also generally lower than those held in the United States. We therefore expect that we can complete the clinical trials sooner and at lower cost than would be the case  if the tests were done in the United States. Should the tests be successful and we obtain the approval of SFDA for the new medicine, we expect this new pharmaceutical product will be marketed in the PRC.

Until 2009, Bao Sai’s operations had consisted of bio-extraction and development of new products. In 2010, based on the separation media, our new products developed from traditional biochemical products to media derivatives—civil products. We have made research progress in development on anti-virus mask and have submitted information to Chinese government for a patent. We are applying for the patent of anti-virus mask.

Environmental Law Compliance

Our operations currently comply with all material environmental law and regulations in China. Moreover, since China does not have additional environmental regulations addressing climate change that are applicable  to our operations, we have no plan to make material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or make material changes in our business practices to climate change

Employees
 
We are divided into six departments, including administration, marketing, facility management, network, R&D center and finance. As of December 31, 2010, we had 64 full-time employees, with 30 in New Century and 34 in Bao Sai.  All our employees are employed on a staff is full-time basis. No one is involved in any labor disputes. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

You should consider each of the following risk factors and any other information set forth in this Form 10-K and our other reports that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's financial statements and related notes, in evaluating the Company's business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that impact on the Company's operations and business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company, or that the Company currently considers immaterial, may also impair its business or operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial condition, results or prospects could be harmed.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
Because there is no assurance that we will maintain the acceptance of our existing products and achieve success in our introduction of new business, any significant failure of our sales will adversely affect our business operations,.
 
Our ability to increase sales depends on numerous factors, including market acceptance of existing products, the successful introduction of new products, growth of consumer discretionary spending, and the ability to recruit new independent sales consultants. Business in all of our segments is driven by consumer preferences. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that our current or future products will maintain or achieve market acceptance. We can provide investors with no assurance that revenues will increase to a level which will reflect profitability. If we are unsuccessful in generating significant revenues, our business will most likely fail and our investors could lose their investment
 
Dependence on key corporate management personnel.
 
Our success depends in large part on the contributions of our key corporate management. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policies. The loss of our key corporate management personnel could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our Company and all of its assets are located in a jurisdiction that may not enforce the judgment of a US court.

Although we are incorporated in Nevada, the Company’s principal place of business and all of its assets are located in the People’s Republic of China.  In the past, some U.S. plaintiffs and/or judgment creditors have found it difficult or impossible to enforce U.S. court orders and/or judgments in the People’s Republic of China.  We can make no assurance that any shareholder or Company creditor who obtains a judgment or order against the Company, in Nevada or any other US jurisdiction will be able to successfully enforce that judgment or order against the Company.
 
One customer accounts for a majority of our revenues and failure to maintain the business relationship with this customer will adversely affect our business operations.

Tangdu Hospital accounts for over 85 % of our revenues and all our gross profit.   If we lose Tangdu Hospital as a customer or the business suffers adverse development, our financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Bao Sai’s efforts to develop and commercialize medical products may fail.

Bao Sai is attempting to develop new pharmaceutical and agricultural medium products, and to then market any products that are successfully developed.  There can be no assurance that the clinical trials will be successful, that the necessary government approvals will be obtained or that the products, if any, can be successfully marketed or that Bao Sai will have sufficient resources to complete the development and commercialization of any products.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors.
 
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 10-K. We have established disclosure controls and procedures effective for the purposes set forth in the definition thereof in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of December 31, 2010. Commencing by the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. However, there can be no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors. In the event we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements which will have a material adverse effect on our business. Also 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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We may be affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory, or market responses to such change.
 
The growing political and scientific sentiment is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are influencing global weather patterns. Changing weather patterns, along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions, could impact the availability or increase the cost of key raw materials that we use to produce our products. Additionally, the sale of our products can be impacted by weather conditions.
 
Concern over climate change, including global warming, has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For example, proposals that would impose mandatory requirements on GHG emissions continue to be considered by policy makers in the territories that we operate. Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect our production, distribution, packaging, cost of raw materials, fuel, ingredients, and water could all impact our business and financial results.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Our Common Stock has been relatively thinly traded and we cannot predict the extent to which an active trading market will develop.
 
Our Common Stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Our Common Stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded Common Stock can be more volatile than Common Stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained.
 
We may need to raise additional capital which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
 
In the future, we may be required to raise funds. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain capital may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans. Any equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of our stock.
 
We have never paid any cash dividends in the past five years and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to maintain the normal operation of the company. Any gain on an investment in us will need to come through an increase in the working capital and expansion and operation of the company in future.
 
Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
 
Our shares as penny stocks are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the SEC. These rules require brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of Common Stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of Common Stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of Common Stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Limited Market for Common Stock

There is currently a limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a more substantial market will ever develop or be maintained. Any market price for our shares of Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of our Common Stock.

Overview
GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 1996 under the name Laredo Investment Corp.  (“Laredo”). Its subsidiary companies currently are involved in bio-extraction, researching and inventing, manufacturing and sales of biological separation medium products, radiology and oncology equipment and cancer treatment equipment. The Company’s principal place of business and all of its assets are located in the People’s Republic of China.

On October 15, 2006, we executed an acquisition agreement with Xi'an Hua Long Yu Tian Ke Ji Shi Ye Co., Ltd. and owned 100% interest of Hua Long.

On December 11, 2006, pursuant to the Plan of Exchange Agreement, New Century became our 95% owned indirect subsidiary.

On January 1, 2008, New Century entered into a stock purchase agreement of the capital stock of Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co., Ltd (“Bao Sai”) to acquire 96.77% of its capital stock. 

After consolidation, GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a holding company with two business segments. The Company is involved in bio-extraction, researching and inventing, manufacturing and sales of biological separation medium products operated by Xi’an Jiaoda Bao Sai Bio-technology Co., Ltd (“Bao Sai”). The Company also operates a Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center with professional team of doctors operated by Shaan Xi New Century Scientific Investment Development Ltd. (“New Century”) in the PRC.

New century

New Century is a medical equipment investment management company, which mainly engages in investment and management of cancer treatment equipment and provides comprehensive services for customers with advanced radiology and oncology equipment.

New Century currently owns three different devices used for radiological imaging for the brain and body and cancer treatment. The Company’s medical equipment is used in Tangdu Hospital’s Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center (the “Center”).

New Century entered into its relationship with Tangdu Hospital on February 2, 2006, when it accepted the rights and responsibilities previously held by Masep Medical Science & Technology Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Masep”) which Masep undertook pursuant to the “Cooperation Establishment of ‘Tangdu Gamma Knife Therapeutic Center’ Agreement” by and between Masep and Tandgu Hospital, dated May 18, 2001, as amended (the “Tangdu Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Tangdu Agreement, New Century presently receives seventy percent (70%) of the profits generated by the Center. New Century’s profit sharing percentage decreases over the term of the Tangdu Agreement, which is sixteen years from the date that the Center opened in January 2002. The respective profit sharing ratios and time periods are as follows:

 
1.
From January 2002 through December 2003, 90% to Masep;

 
2.
From January 2004 through December 2008, 80% to Masep (or to New Century, giving effect to the assignment as of February 2006);

 
3.
From January 2009 through December 2011, 70% to New Century;
 
 
4.
From January 2012 through December 2014, 60% to New Century;

 
5.
From January 2015 through December 2017, 50% to New Century.

Pursuant to the Tangdu Agreement, New Century has the power to appoint the Director of the Center. Upon the termination of the Tangdu Agreement, the Tangdu Hospital has an option to purchase the equipment for fifty percent of its residual value.  
 
With its advanced, professional and scientific management, New Century has established an outstanding marketing team and a well known cancer treatment center with a team of experts since it took over Gamma Knife Center on February 2, 2002. New Century has also successfully established a large integrated medical professional website - Medical Sina (www.120md.com), which provides extensive publicity and online integrated counseling services for patients. We extended our business to neighboring provinces of Shanxi Province and other provinces of the country. The Center is a well known cancer treatment center in the five northwestern provinces of China and even all over the country. The company’s operating revenue and profit have been increasing steadily.

The cases processed in the Center averaged 292 cases per month in 2010, 254 cases per month in 2009.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Center accounted for $3,732,781, or 86%, of the Company’s revenues.

The Center currently runs at full capacity of business and shows an increasing latent capacity so that the existing equipment capacity cannot meet the requirements of patients. The Company intends to invest in the construction and management of cancer treatment equipment in the next few years. With its resources, technologies and services, the Company believes it will seize market opportunities, gradually expand the treatment capacity and improve profitability by the addition of cancer treatment centers or hospitals to build a leading integrated service center with prevention, screening, treatment and rehabilitation capabilities in the Northwest of China and even across the country.

The Company needs additional capital to finance its expansion plans.  The Company presently does not have a commitment for such additional capital and there is no assurance such capital can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.

Bao Sai
Bao Sai is a high-tech company in China chartered and authorized by the Chinese government for involvement in researching and inventing, manufacturing and sales of biological separation medium products. It has the technology and facilities for the separation and purification of biological products and natural medicines and manufactures the agarose products of separation media. 

Biological separation medium refers to the separation and purification of biological products and natural medicines, which is the core technology of biotechnology Industry. Such technology has been widely used in the producing of antibiotic products, Genetic Recombinant Medicine, the Gene Chip, bacteria production, diagnoses reagent and biochemical products. In addition to the biotechnology industry, the technology also has the wide applications and can be used for environmental protection industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry and modernization of Chinese medicine.

The operations of Bao Sai are in the development stage and most of its efforts are focused on the research and development of new pharmaceutical and agricultural medium products, and the networking and advertisement to market these products in the future.  In 2010, Bao Sai spent approximately $25,225 in research and development of new biological separation medium products and new medicine. Most of the money was used to fund local medical institutions in the development of new products.

Pursuant to this effort, Bao Sai entered into a Research and Development Cooperation Contract with XiAn Jiao Tong University R&D Center for Natural Chinese Medicine and Engineering (“the University”) in 2005.  According to the Cooperation Contract, Bao Sai provides funds in the research on the use of biological separation technology in the development of Xin Kang Ping medicine to treat heart diseases. The University performs all the laboratory work related to the general research project and toxic tests as the prerequisites of the clinical trial process for the application of a new medicine. The University presents the research result to Bao Sai, and Bao Sai has all the right to the project report and possible patent right as a result of the project. This contract expired on August 25, 2008 and was not renewed. However, we have been able to continue the pharmacodynamics test and toxicology test as the prerequisite to the commencement of clinical trials for the development of Xin Kang Ping medicine. At present, these two tests are close to successful completion. As the rules of State Food and Drug Administration of China (“SFDA”), now, Xin Kang Ping was changed its name to Fu Fang Dan Chuan Jiao Nang and we are in the process of applying for the clinical trial process with the State Food and Drug Administration of China ( “SFDA”). Upon the approval by SFDA, we will start clinical trials for Fu Fang Dan Chuan Jiao Nang . Less time is generally required in China than in the United States to complete the clinical trials for a new medicine, and the cost of clinical trials in China is also generally lower than those held in the US. We therefore expect that we can complete the clinical trials sooner than would be the case in the United States and at lower cost. Should the tests be successful and we obtain the approval of SFDA for the new medicine, we expect this new pharmaceutical product will be marketed in the PRC.

Until 2009, Bao Sai’s operations had consisted of bio-extraction, biological separation medium production and development of new products.

In 2010, based on the separation media, our new products expanded from traditional biochemical products to media derivatives—civil products. With the adsorption media, civil products will be removed including the harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, organic pesticides and tobacco tar. We have made research in project of anti-virus mask and submitted the required information to Chinese government. We are in the process of applying for the patent of anti-virus mask. Should we obtain the approval at an early date, we expect this new product will be marketed in the PRC. We also expect that our other researching project can make more progress and our civil products will open up the market and create more revenues and profits for the Company.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
 
Net revenue increased from $3,884,097 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $4,361,556 for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an increase of 12.29%. This increase was principally the result of an increase of treatment cases sharing with Tangdu Center under the co-operation agreement and increased product sales. There are 3 sets of medical equipments which are operated by Tangdu Centre but owned by New Century. As well, the operations of Bao Sai increased about $590,000 from the provision of an extraction technology service. Our new pharmaceutical products are still in the development stage. We expect that as soon as we complete the government approval process for the new products, we have to be able to increase our revenues.

Our operating expenses incurred a substantial decrease from $1,081,383 in 2009 to $720,556 in 2010. The decrease is mainly attributable to a recovery of uncollectible accounts of $301,414 in 2010. As well, general and administrative expenses also decreased from $1,006,896 in 2009 to $801,819 in 2010.

Net income attributable to the Company increased from net income of $1,096,632 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to net income of $2,445,710 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our business operates entirely in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars.  The conversion of our accounts from RMB to Dollars results in translation adjustments.  While our net income is added to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; the translation adjustments are added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “other comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our business.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stockholder’s equity increased from $4,322,122 as of December 31, 2009 to $6,961,268 as of December 31, 2010. In addition, our principal shareholder, we made a $1,521,607 repayment to Mr. Lian Guo, our principal stockholder. As of December 31, 2010, the balance of the loan was $439,267 which was unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.  

We have a 75% equity interest in Medicine but Medicine is no longer consolidated and we recovered $255,947 from this unconsolidated affiliate.
 
 
13

 

We have two business segments – the Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center at Tangdu Hospital and the biological extraction business that extracts raw materials to medicine ingredients and distributes the extracted ingredients for medicine manufacturing uses.  We are dependent on the continued success of the operations at the cancer diagnostic and treatment business to continue our operations. In 2010, the cancer treatment business accounted for $3,732,781 (86%) of our revenue and generated $2,017,534 of net income.  The extraction business generated $628,775 of revenue in 2010 as compared to $547,258 in 2009.
 
In addition, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $537,812 and $708,741, respectively. The inability to collect more outstanding receivables can aversely affect our operations.  Tangdu Hospital accounted for all of the revenues from the cancer diagnosis and treatment center and $1,169,993 of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our financial statements we are required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values.  In our preparation of the financial statements for 2010, there were no estimates made which were (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty and (b) material to our results.

We made no material changes to our critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of financial statements for 2010.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-14 to amend ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” The amendments in this update change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. The amendments in ASU 2009-14 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011. The Company believes that ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 amending ASC 605 related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Among other things, ASU 2009-13 provides guidance for entities in determining the accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements and establishes a hierarchy for determining the amount of revenue to allocate to the various deliverables. The amendments in ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011. The Company believes that ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

In January 2010, the FASB issued further guidance under ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 requires disclosures about the transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy and disclosures relating to the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3 investments). ASC 820 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company will adopt the update on January 1, 2011 and expects that ASC 820 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

While our reporting currency is the US dollar, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for some cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US dollar and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the US dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Inflation
  
Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling and distribution, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase to cope with these increased costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits 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 audits 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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

·
Basis of presentation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

·
Use of estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·
Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GFRP and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·
Equity method of accounting

Under Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), consolidation of a majority-owned subsidiary is precluded where control does not rest with the majority owner. From May 1, 2007, GFRP’s subsidiary Medicine ceased business and leased out its business license. Accordingly, GFRP deconsolidated Medicine and accounted Medicine for under the equity method of accounting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
 
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the investment in the investee be reported using the equity method under the provision of ASC Topic 323, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (“ASC 323”) when an investor corporation can exercise significant influence over the operations and financial policies of an investee corporation. When the equity method of accounting is used, the investor initially records the investment in the stock of an investee at cost. The investment account is then adjusted to recognize the investor’s share of the income or losses of the investee when it is earned by the investee. Such amounts are included when determining the net income of the investor in the period they are reported by the investee.

As a result of deconsolidation under ASC 810 and the application of the equity method under ASC 323, GFRP had a negative basis in its investment in Medicine, the Equity Investee, because the subsidiary generated significant losses and inter-company liabilities in excess of its asset balances. This negative investment, “Loss in excess of investment in an unconsolidated affiliate” is reflected as a single amount on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as approximately $811,555 and $784,802 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Since Medicine’s results are no longer consolidated and GFRP believes that it is not obligated to fund future operating losses at Medicine, any adjustments reflected in Medicine’s financial statements subsequent to May 1, 2007 are not expected to affect the results of operations of GFRP.

·
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

·
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $557,657 and $552,118, respectively.

·
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company quarterly reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the inventory allowance was $663,136 and $688,153, respectively.

·
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

   
Expected useful life
 
Residual value
 
Buildings

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

·
Operating lease prepaid

All lands in the PRC are owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may grant the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, all of the Company’s lands in the PRC are considered operating lease prepaid. Operating lease prepaid is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 50 years.

The lease expense on prepaid operating lease for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $7,315 and $7,248, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the estimated annual amortization of the prepaid operating lease for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Years ending December 31:

Total:

·
Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

·
Revenue recognition

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

(a)
Medical service revenue

Pursuant to the agreements entered into between the Company and Tang Du Hospital (“the Hospital”) dated February 2, 2006, the Company and the Hospital would jointly operate the medical center in the provision of diagnostic imaging services to the patients. In return, the Company and the Hospital would share net revenues from services rendered, on a monthly basis, when earned, at their net realizable amounts from patients for services rendered at contractually established billing rates, after deducting the total operating cost of the centers. The Company recognizes net revenues based on the total amount received from the patients during the month, less the monthly operating costs incurred at the center.

The Company records the revenue, net of business tax, from the customers through the Hospital, on a net basis in compliance with ASC Topic 605-45, “Principal Agent Considerations.”

(b)
Product sales

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale and trading of pharmaceutical products upon delivery to the customers, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”) under the PRC tax law which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and has recorded no reserve for sales returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(c)
Technical service income

The Company provides technical service based upon the customer’s specifications in a term of three years on a monthly fixed-rate basis. The Company recognizes its monthly service fee over the service period.

(d)
Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

·
Cost of service

Cost of service consists primarily of depreciation of operating equipment and direct labor which are directly attributable to the rendering of medical and technical service.

·
Cost of products

Cost of products consists primarily of purchase cost of extractions, direct labor and other overheads, which are directly attributable to the extraction and trading of pharmaceutical materials. Shipping and handling cost, associated with the distribution of finished products to the customers, are borne by the customers.

·
Advertising expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred under ASC Topic 720-35, “Advertising Costs”. No advertising expense was incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

·
Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred in the development of new processes including significant improvements and refinements of existing products. Such costs mainly relate to labor and material cost. The Company incurred $22,225 and $50,400 of such costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

·
Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company filed and cleared 2009 tax return with its local tax authority in the PRC.

·
Net income per share

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

·
Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·
Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective year:
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Year-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate
    6.6118       6.8372  
Annual average RMB:US$1 exchange rate
    6.7788       6.8409  

·
Retirement plan costs

Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as and when the related employee service is provided.

·
Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

·
Segment reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company operates in two reportable segments: Medical Business and Extraction Business in PRC.

·
Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, amount due to a related party, income tax payable, other payables and accrued liabilities. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

·
Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

·
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and; and

·
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

·
Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to confirm to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

·
Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-14 to amend ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” The amendments in this update change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. The amendments in ASU 2009-14 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011. The Company believes that ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 amending ASC 605 related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Among other things, ASU 2009-13 provides guidance for entities in determining the accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements and establishes a hierarchy for determining the amount of revenue to allocate to the various deliverables. The amendments in ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011. The Company believes that ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

In January 2010, the FASB issued further guidance under ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 requires disclosures about the transfers of investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy and disclosures relating to the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3 investments). ASC 820 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company will adopt the update on January 1, 2011 and expects that ASC 820 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The majority of the Company’s sales are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following:

2009
 
             
Accounts receivable, at original cost

 Total:
  $ 540,647       95 %   $ 35,541  

(c)
Credit risk

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

(d)
Exchange rate risk

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

(e)
Economic and political risks

The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

Item 9.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On January 25, 2010, the Company’s former independent accountants, AGCA, Inc. Certified Public Accountants (“AGCA”), advised the Company that it would not seek re-election as the Company’s  independent accountants and resigned as independent accountants  effective January 25, 2010.   The choice of  new independent accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The former independent accountant’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimer opinions, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, the accountant’s report did not include any disclosure of uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. AGCA did not serve as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

During the Company’s last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 and through January 25, 2010, the date of resignation and declination, there were no disagreements between the Company and AGCA, its former independent accountants, on any matters relating to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former independent accountants, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report.

A letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not AGCA agrees with the above statements was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2010.

On January 27, 2010, the Company engaged HKCMCPA Company Limited (formerly ZYCPA Company Limited), Certified Public Accountants (“HKCMCPA”), as Company’s new independent accountants. During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and any subsequent interim period through January 27, 2009, the Company did not consult with HKCMCPA, the newly engaged accountant, regarding any matter described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation SK, including any issue related to Company’s financial statements or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered for the Company. HKCMCPA served as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

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’. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's 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.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within GFR Pharmaceuticals Inc. have been detected.

Mr. Wang Li An has been a director of the Company since September 2006 and the Chairman of the Board of Director of New Century since March 2006. Mr. Wang is also the Vice General Manager and Director of Bao Sai since June 2005. From July 2002 to May 2005, Mr. Wang was the Secretary of the Board of Bao Sai and was responsible for corporate finance, taxation, capital restructure, operational management, and government relations.

Board Committees

Our board of directors is currently composed of three directors: Mr. Zhao Yan Ding, Ms. Zhong Ya Li, and Mr. Wang Li An. All board action requires the approval of a majority of directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  We currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees.  Our entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by each of the committees.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Commission’s definition of “audit committee financial expert” and concluded that Zhong Ya Li qualifies as such an expert. Presently, there are three directors serving on our Board, Each of our directors, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current directors capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

Compensation Philosophy

Our board of directors have historically determined the compensation to be paid to our executive officers based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, and contributions made by the officers’ to our success.  Each of the named officers will be measured by a series of performance criteria by the board of directors, on a yearly basis.  Such criteria will be based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.

Our board of directors have not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers.  As our executive leadership and board of directors grow, our board of directors may decide to form a compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs.

Our compensation program for our executive officers and all other employees is designed such that it will not incentivize unnecessary risk-taking. We provide our executive officers solely with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year.  Our policy of compensating our executives with a cash salary has served us well.  To date, we have not believed it necessary to provide our executives discretionary bonuses, equity incentives, or other benefits in order for us to continue to be successful.  While we have established an incentive stock option plan, the Company has made no awards under the plan. Senior executives do not have the incentive to take unnecessary risks in order to receive a bonus.    However, as the Company grows and the operations become more complex, the Board of Directors may deem it in the best interest of the Company to provide such additional compensation to existing executives and in order to attract new executives.

Elements of Compensation
 
We provide our executive officers with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Our policy of compensating our executives with a cash salary has served us well. Because of our history of attracting and retaining executive talent, we do not believe it is necessary at this time to provide our executives equity incentives, or other benefits in order for us to continue to be successful.

Stock Option Plan
 
The Company has established the 2002 Incentive and Non-qualified Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) under which we may grant to employees, officers, directors, attorneys, consultants or other advisers of the Company or affiliated companies up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock with such exercise price and vesting periods as the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interest of the Company. As of December 31, 2010, no options or shares have been granted under the Plan.
 
Compensation of Independent Directors

No compensation had been paid to any director solely in connection with their role as a director for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
