NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
(UNAUDITED) Expressed in US Dollars
NOTE 1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(A) The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, at June 30, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $17,683,886 as at June 30, 2007. However, the Company has developed and is implementing a plan to decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will allow the Company to continue operations.
The Company plans to seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. The Company has also significantly increased production levels to generate additional cash flow under contracted supply agreements. In addition, the Company intends to continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they become due, as has been done in the past. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to negotiate and extend the loans. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to negotiate or extend its loans, the Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities. Management believes that actions presently taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Companys ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company issued 3,496,503 shares of restricted common stock upon conversion of US$1,500,000 non-interest bearing demand loans at US$0.429 per share.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
(B) In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costsan amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which is the result of the FASBs project to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility costs, abnormal freight, handling costs, and amounts of wasted materials (spoilage) be treated as current-period costs. Under this concept, if the costs associated with the actual level of spoilage or production defects are greater than the costs associated with the range of normal spoilage or defects, the difference would be charged to current-period expense, not included in inventory costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
(UNAUDITED) Expressed in US Dollars
SFAS No. 151 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FIN 48). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements during the current period.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently is assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial position or results of operation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The following discusses the Companys financial condition and results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 based upon the Companys unaudited interim consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. It should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included in the Companys Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
As used in this report, the terms "we", "us", "our", "the Company" and "Dragon" shall mean Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. Further, unless otherwise indicated, reference to dollars shall mean United States dollars.
General
Dragon is a diversified pharmaceutical company with three key business units consisting of a Chemical Division for manufacturing bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and pharmaceutical intermediates, a Pharma Division for manufacturing formulated generic drugs with a focus on Cephalosporin antibiotics and freeze-dry injectables, and a Biotech Division for manufacturing biologics, currently Erythropoietin or EPO.
The Company currently has four production facilities in Datong, China, including three GMP production facilities certified by Chinese State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA"): one pharmaceutical facility with a capacity of producing freeze-dry injectables, one biotech facility producing Erythropoietin injectables and one chemical facility producing bulk Clavulanic Acid. The fourth facility produces bulk 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics by a fermentation process. 7-ACA is an intermediate and no GMP is required for the production facility. The Company now has 47 drugs approved by the Chinese SFDA of which the Pharma division products are sold only in the Chinese markets while products from the Chemical and Biotech divisions are sold in both Chinese and selected international markets.
The Company completed the acquisition of Oriental Wave Holding Ltd. ("Oriental Wave") on January 12, 2005 which transformed us from a single product company into a diversified pharmaceutical company with three key business units consisting of a Biotech Division for biotech products, a Chemical Division for bulk pharmaceutical intermediate and API and a Pharma Division for formulated generic drugs.
The Companys headquarters, located in Vancouver, British Columbia accommodates corporate functions such as financial reporting, SEC compliance, corporate finance, investor relations, and regulatory affairs for international product approval. The Company also has a corporate office in Beijing, China to manage its businesses in China including strategy formulation in the Chinese market, product development, production and sales and marketing management.
25
Business Segments
The Company operates three key business units consisting of a Chemical Division for bulk pharmaceutical API and intermediates such as Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA, a Pharma Division for formulated drugs with a focus of Cephalosporin antibiotics and freeze-dry injectables, and a Biotech Division for biologics products, currently Erythropoietin or EPO.
Chemical Division
The Chemical Divisions facilities are located on Datong Gongnong Road, Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. The Chemical Division produces bulk pharmaceutical intermediates and API to sell to other pharmaceutical companies for further processing and formulation into finished products. The Chemical Division manages the production of Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA for both Chinese and international markets. The designed production capacity for Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA were 30 tons and 400 tons respectively. After the Companys investment in the process optimization and technology improvement, the current production capacity reaches 50 tons and 600 tons for Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA respectively. The production for Clavulanic acid was started in January 2004 and the production of 7-ACA was started in July 2004.
One of the key products in Chemical Division is Clavulanic acid, a drug that combines with antibiotics increase the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Another key product in the Chemical Division is 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. Dragons 600-ton production facility of 7-ACA positions it as one of the main producers of this product in the world. The export of 7-ACA to India commenced in 2004 and the Company currently has a target to sell 50% of its 7-ACA production to the Indian market. The Chemical Division operates its business strategies to upgrade its technology in order to improve yields and lower production cost, to develop 7-ACA and Clavulanic acid downstream bulk products, and to apply for approvals in the United States and European Union to enter into European and North American markets.
Pharma Division
The Company owns 36 drug approvals from the SFDA for the Pharma Division, mostly Cephalosporin powder for injection and API. With this more focused product combination, the Company is able to take advantage of being one of the significant producers of 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. The Company uses qualified contract manufacturers to produce the Cephalosporin powder for injection and key sales agents and distributors to sell the formulation products in the Chinese market. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize excess production capacity of other formulation producers without having to commit huge capital expenditure in its own production facility.
In addition to the cephalosporin product lines, the Pharma Division also offers freeze-dry injectable products. The Company has a freeze-dry injectable workshop, next to the EPO production facility, for the freeze-drying of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. Among these products is Levofloxacin, a product marketed by the Company whose production was outsourced to a third party contract manufacturer.
26
Biotech Division
The Biotech Divisions facility was relocated to Datong, China from its original production site in Nanjing City, China at the end of December, 2005. The new EPO production site is adjacent to the campus of the Chemical Division, which already includes the entire basic infrastructure such as power, steam, purified water supply and water treatment facilities. The relocation of the EPO production site to Datong allows the Company to capitalize on the existing production infrastructure and the efficiency of unified operational management. In the new facility, the capacity for bulk EPO doubled to 120 grams and the capacity for sterile vialing tripled to 5 million vials. The sole product of the Biotech Division is Erythropoietin or EPO, an injectable that stimulates red blood cell development. Dragons Biotech Division develops, manufactures and markets generic EPO in China and developing countries as the current core markets. Currently, Dragons EPO is sold only in countries where there is no patent protection. Previously, Dragon was preparing to enter the European market with a new EPO product under development in Austria. However, in January 2006, the Company sold the development contract with the Austrian partner to a related party for $1 million cash and assumption of all commitments under the contract.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The accompanying managements discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon Dragons consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experiences and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and in Note 1 to the Dragons Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies which include: stock based compensation and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and intangible assets.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, results in part from estimating the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The exercise price for option grants are based on the market value of the Companys common shares. The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, a revision of SFAS 123. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of the fair value of the Companys stock at the date of grant of the stock options as well as the input of several subjective assumptions including: the expected life of the option, the expected volatility at the time of the options are granted, and the expected forfeiture rate at the time the options were granted. Changes in the inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of the estimated fair value of employee stock options. Also, the accounting estimate of stock-based compensation expense is reasonably likely to change from period to period as further stock options are granted and adjustments are made for stock option forfeitures and cancellations.
27
Long-lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment under SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-lived Assets. The Company performs these evaluations whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. If impairment recognition criteria in SFAS 144 have been met, the Company charges impairments of the long-lived assets to operations.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, the Company is required to perform impairment tests annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. While the Company uses available information to prepare the estimates and to perform impairment evaluations, actual results in the future could differ significantly. Impairment tests in future periods may result in impairment charges which could materially impact the Companys future reported results.
In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1 2007. The adoption of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements during the current period.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently is assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial positions and results of operation.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, $3.67 million or approximately 18% of the sales were from the Pharma Division, $16.31 million or 79% of sales were from the Chemical Division, and $0.57 million or 3% of sales were from the Biotech Division. For the same period in 2006, 11% of sales were from the Pharma Division, 86% of sales were from the Chemical Division, and 3% of sales were from the Biotech Division. The increase in sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year was due to increase in sales from all 3 divisions. Pharma Division, Chemical Division and Biotech Division experienced a year-over-year growth rate of 134%, 37% and 44% respectively.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $16.57 million compared to $11.49 million for the same period of 2006. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of products. The increase in the cost of sales was mainly due to the increase in production and sales of products from the Chemical and Pharma Divisions. Gross profit and gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $3.98 million and 19.36% compared to $2.39 million and 17.24% for the same period of 2006. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to an improved margin of all three divisions especially the Chemical Division as a result of an increase in production level and hence, better utilization of the production facilities.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 40% to $37.88 million from $27.04 million for the same period in 2006. $25.43 million, or 67% of the sales for the first six months of 2007 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining $12.45 million or 33% were generated from the sales of products in the international markets. Comparatively, $15.97 million, or 59% of the sales for the first half of 2006 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining 41% were generated from the sales of products in international markets.
In the first half of 2007, $5.54 million, or 15% of the sales, were from the Pharma Division, $31.34 million, or 82% of sales were from the Chemical Division and $1.00 million, or 3% of sales, were from the Biotech Division. For the same period in 2006, 10% of sales were from the Pharma Division, 87% of sales were from the Chemical Division and 3% of sales were from the Biotech Division. The increase in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period for the prior year was primarily due to increases in sales from the Pharma Division (with a year-over-year growth rate of 109%) and the Chemical Division, especially 7-ACA in the Chinese market (with a year-over-year growth rate of 68%) and Clavulanic Acid in the international market ( with a year-over-year growth rate of 65%).
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $29.84 million compared to $22.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit and gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $8.04 million and 21.23% compared to $5.02 million and 18.58% for the same period of 2006. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to an improved margin for the Chemical division especially for 7-ACA products.

Divisional Revenues and Gross Margin Analysis
The Companys businesses are organized under three business divisions: the Chemical Division, the Pharma Division and the Biotech Division.
Chemical Division
The Chemical Divisions revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $16.31 million, representing a 37% increase from the revenues of $11.92 million during the same period in 2006. Such increase in revenues was attributed by both 7-ACA and Clavulanic Acid, which had a year-over-year growth rate of 35% and 44% respectively. The Division had a year-over-year growth rate of 47% and 23% in the Chinese and international markets respectively, out of which Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA experienced 42% and 75% year-over-year growth in the Chinese market.
The Chemical Divisions gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 23.73% compared to 20.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in gross margin reflected the lowering of per unit production costs as the production level continued to increase.
Pharma Division
The Pharma Divisions revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $3.67 million, accounting for 18% of the total revenues of the Company. Comparatively, Pharma Divisions revenues were $1.57 million for the same period in 2006, contributing 11% of the total revenues of the Company. The 134% increase in revenues of the Pharma division during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 was mainly due to the continued growth in terms of sales quantity in the Chinese market.
The overall gross margin for the Pharma Division for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was -8.90% as compared to -14.74% for the same period of 2006. The increase in the gross margins was due to the improvement of per unit production costs.
Biotech Division
The Biotech Divisions revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $0.57 million representing 3% of the Companys revenues for the year. Comparatively, Biotech Divisions revenues were $0.40 million for the same period in 2006, contributing 3% of the total revenues of the Company. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was at 75.60% as compared to 49.01% for the same period of 2006. The increase in revenues and gross margin for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was mainly due to the fact that the Datong production facility for EPO was at the initial phase of production last year which had slightly lower production output for sales as well as slightly higher production cost.

Expenses
Total operating expenses were $2.81 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The major category of operating expenses was general and administration expenses of $1.93 million, selling expense of $0.62 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.25 million. Total operating expenses were $2.22 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 with the major expenses being general and administration expenses of $1.36 million, selling expense of $0.62 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.24 million.

The increase in operating expenses of $0.60 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period for the prior year was mainly due to an increase in non-cash stock based compensation expenses.
Total operating expenses were $5.08 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.63 million for the same period in 2006. The major category of operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was General and Administration expenses which included $1.02 million for non-cash stock based compensation expenses, $0.83 million for salaries and benefits, $0.58 million for accounting and auditing expenses, $0.20 million for travel expenses, $0.16 million office expenses and $0.15 million for consulting expenses compared to $0.18 million for non-cash stock based compensation expenses, $0.80 million for salaries and benefits, $0.31 million for accounting and auditing expenses, $0.23 million for travel expenses, $0.31 million for office expenses and $0.14 million for consulting expenses for the first six months of 2006.

The increase in operating expenses of $0.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period for the prior year reflected mainly the increase in non-cash stock based compensation and accounting and audit expenses.
Other Income / Expense
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized a net other expense of $0.50 million which represented primarily interest expense, including $0.59 million cash interest expense and $0.09 million non-cash accreted interest expense on the long term payable.

The foreign currency translation income results from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollar. The increase reflects the appreciation of the RMB relative to the United States dollar.
Basic Net Income per Share
Companys net income per share has been computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the same period. Net income per share from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.01 per share and ($0.01) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net income per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.01 per share as compared to $0.00 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 which included $0.01 per share net income from discontinued operations. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 62,878,004 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The outstanding common stock options have no significant dilutive effect on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Dividends of the PRC subsidiary may only be distributed after allowance has been made for i) recovery of losses, if any; ii) appropriations to the reserve fund; iii) appropriations to the staff welfare fund; and iv) appropriations to an enterprise expansion fund if determined by the Board of Directors. Under current regulation, appropriations to the reserve fund should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of PRC subsidiarys registered capital; appropriations to the staff welfare fund are at a percentage, as determined by the Board of Directors, of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP; appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve fund and enterprise expansion fund are recorded as part of stockholders equity but are not available for distribution to shareholders other than in liquidation; while the staff welfare fund is recorded as a liability and is not for distribution to shareholders. As at June 30, 2007, the Companys reserve fund is $2.69 million, 11.14% of the Companys registered capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had current liabilities of $42.5 million and current assets of $24.81 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1.19 million, restricted cash of $1.97 million and accounts receivable of $9.1 million. The working capital deficiency is mainly due to the fact that some long-term accounts payable and bank loans will become due within a year and therefore transferred from long-term liabilities to short-term liabilities.
32
The Company has developed and is implementing a plan to decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will allow the Company to continue operations. To meet these objectives, the Company plans to seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. The Company has also significantly increased production levels to generate additional cash flow under contracted supply agreements. In addition, the Company intends to continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they become due, as has been done in the past. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to negotiate and extend the loans. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to negotiate or extend its loans, the Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities. Management believes that actions presently taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Companys ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. (See below for private placement subsequent to June 30, 2007.)

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding short-term loans (less than one year term) and note payable totaling $18.33 million. The Company believes that it will be successful in the renegotiating loans due based on the assumption that the Company has enhanced its ability to generate additional cash flow from its operation since the loans were originally entered into, even though there is no assurance of renewing the loans.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company financed its operations and increased production level at its Chemical Division through operating revenues, accounts payables and short-term loans. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity financing to improve its financial position, which may include conversion of certain payables to certain vendors of Shanxi Weiqida into the Companys common stock.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company issued 3,496,503 shares of restricted common stock upon conversion of US$1,500,000 non-interest bearing demand loans at US$0.429 per share.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Substantially all of our business is transacted in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar. However, the functional currency of certain subsidiaries is their local currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor does the Company hedge its foreign currency exposure to manage its foreign currency fluctuation risk.
The Company has approximately $7.21 million in long-term debt due in September 2008. In the event that the Company refinances or seeks renewal of this loan, the Company may be subject to interest rate risk. Management does not believe that inflation has had or will have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. The Company is not exposed to any market risk involving activities in derivative commodity instruments.
