including those set forth under "Risk Factors." Item 1 - Business Overview Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc., formerly
known as KS E-Media Holdings, Inc. ("Genex"), was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on February 28, 2002. Prior to June 17, 2004, Genex was considered a development
stage company. Genex was a start-up Internet based fulfillment company with
offices in Vancouver, BC, Canada. On June 8, 2004, Genex entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement with Tianjin Zhongjin Biology Development Co., Ltd. ("Zhongjin"),
a company formed under the laws of the People's Republic of China, and the
shareholders of Zhongjin. Under the terms of the agreement, Genex acquired 100
percent of Zhongjin's shares in exchange for 3,658,375 restricted shares of
Genex's common stock which were issued to the Zhongjin shareholders. On June 17,
2004, the stock purchase made pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement was
consummated and Zhongjin became a wholly-owned subsidiary. See "Risk Factors -
we have not obtained necessary approvals for ownership in our PRC subsidiary." On June 27, 2004, Genex effectuated a four-for-one stock dividend of the Company's common stock.
On June 29, 2004, Genex changed its name to the present name. Zhongjin's Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Mr. Fuzhi Song, has been appointed Genex's President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Shuli Zhang has been
appointed Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Ms. Sufen Ai has been appointed
as the Company's Secretary. Mr. Mayur Pandya resigned as an officer and director
of Genex effective June 18, 2004. Unless otherwise specified or the
context otherwise requires, in this Form 10-KSB the term "Genex" shall mean the
operations or business of Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
prior to the Reorganization. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise
requires, in this Form 10-KSB the terms the "Company," "Zhongjin," "we" and
"our" shall refer to the operations of the Company and its subsidiary on or
after June 17, 2004. About Zhongjin Zhongjin is incorporated under the
laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC" or "China") and is
headquartered in Tianjin, China. Zhongjin engages in the business of producing
and distributing 4
Reconstituted Bone Xenograft ("RBX"), which is considered to
be a medical device. This bone grafting technology accelerates bone healing. Its
medical devices are distributed to more than 400 hospitals in 20 provinces throughout
China. Zhongjin markets its technology to hospitals in China and targets to
position itself as a comprehensive medical device provider of bone grafting
products and services. Industry Overview Historically, the primary technology
for bone grafting includes the methods of (i) autograft, a method that requires
multiple painful surgeries, or (ii) allograft, which carries certain
immunological risks. The autograft is a procedure in which a complex or compound
bone fracture is fused using bone tissue harvested from the patient's own body,
usually the hip bone. The allograft procedure, although similar to the autograft
procedure, uses bone tissue from a donor's cadaver bone. Compared to the
traditional aforementioned techniques, the xenograft procedure derives its
material from porcine or bovine bone to manufacture a natural ingredient. Zhongjin Products Management believes that Zhongjin's
RBX requires fewer medical procedures and presents less immunological side
effects compared to autograft or allograft methods. Manufacturing of RBX starts
with a bovine bone. Chemical agents decalcify and remove protein from the
low-density bone, removing impurities that may infect or be rejected by the
patient's body. This process makes the bone more tolerable to human tissues.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein ("BMP") is infused into the inorganic bone and the
result is RBX. The entire process of RBX takes approximately 100 days, and can
be used in a variety of bone-related injuries. Zhongjin is dedicated to the
manufacture of RBX. RBX was tested at Beijing General Military Hospital and
enjoyed an approximately 88.5% success rate, as determined by clinical trials conducted by the
hospital's Orthopedic Department. In certain cases, it has been found to be more
cost effective than traditional methods. The 100 day process includes initial
bone selection, detoxification of the fresh bone materials, the extraction
process of BMP and the decalcification to make the de-antigen carrier element,
followed by sterile laboratory manipulation to impregnate this element with BMP
to final RBX form. Quality is monitored by the Tianjin Institute for Medical
Science, a leading Chinese medical research institute, through sample testing of
BMP bio-growth materials and the final product RBX. RBX has excellent
compatibility with natural human bone. RBX can be used for injuries ranging from
complex fractures to bone defects and bone traumas.
Marketing Zhongjin is presently manufacturing
and distributing RBX to more than 400 hospitals in 20 provinces of China. Through
intensive marketing campaigns and development of its distribution network, Zhongjin is experiencing growing demand for this product. With increased
national medical budgets, a national initiative to enhance medical procedures
and in the interest of increasing `quality of life' technologies, it is the
Company's belief that China's
medical community is adapting RBX technology to counter the rapid increase of
bone related injuries. With a significant rise in bone-related traumas in China
and no immediate solutions for hospitals, Zhongjin believes that the medical
industry requires a cheaper, minimally intrusive surgical procedure to meet the
demands placed on hospitals by growing cases of bone-related injuries.

Product awareness has also been promoted and enhanced through advertisements in professional magazines and the press, such as the Chinese Journal of Orthopedics and the Chinese Journal of Surgery.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials (Vendors)
The principle element of RBX is bovine bone for which there are numerous suppliers, and obtaining the main ingredient is relatively simple and inexpensive.
Customers
The largest ten customers in the year 2005 included both medical device resellers and hospitals, and accounted for approximately 46%,of the Company's total revenues for 2005, of which the largest three customers accounted for 8.3%, 7.7% and 6.2%, respectively. The Company's medical device customers represent 40% of all sales, and direct sales to hospitals account for 60% of sales, in 2005. The Company has entered into sales agency agreement with major medical resellers in 2005. Those agency agreements provide for, among others, the quantities and prices of the goods to be purchased by those resellers from the Company within a certain period of time. The Company recognizes the importance of the medical device resellers for increasing sales and continues to establish new links with medical device companies throughout China.
Intellectual Property
Zhongjin has no trademarks or patents awarded or pending on its technology. Zhongjin maintains the RBX technology as a trade secret since public knowledge of the RBX manufacturing process on a wide-scale would erode the Company's competitive advantage. Zhongjin has signed confidentiality agreements with key employees who are in critical positions of the manufacturing process. As a further means of security, files and records relating to the manufacturing process are maintained separately, and no non-executive level employee is acquainted with the entire process.
Research and Development
Historically, research and development has been conducted by independent parties. In 2005, research and development continued to be conducted by independent parties and charged to operations as incurred.
Government and Environmental Regulations
Zhongjin maintains the following licenses and is in good standing with the regulatory agencies that enforce PRC government laws:
(i) Business License issued by The Tianjin Administration for Industry and Commerce;
(ii) Manufacturing License for Medical Devices issued by The Tianjin Drug Administration, and
(iii) Certificate for Medical Devices Product Standard, which is a certified product statement of manufacturing and production for medical devices.
These regulations are issued by the State Food and Drug Administration of China. The nature of the product and industry in which Zhongjin operates is highly regulated and governmental approval is vital to production of medical device products.

(1) Third party medical institutions undertake research and development. However, in-house R&D professionals are currently included as production personnel.
In 2005, Zhongjin maintained the number of sales staff at the same level as in 2004. It allows Zhongjin to continue to meet product demand and enables it to expand its sales and distribution networks. Our management team is based in Tianjin City, China, and consists of sales team of 36 persons. The sales teams are located in the provinces of Guangdong, Tianjin, Beijing, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Fujian.Competition
The RBX technology developed by Zhongjin is competing against traditional methods of bone graft surgery such as autografting and allografting. Most bone grafting products derived from natural bone or synthetic bone marrow combinations for bone fusion procedures are available internationally and are predominantly developed and manufactured by international pharmaceutical companies. In China, the traditional bone grafting products dominate the market. The present market for bone grafting technology is fragmented with only several small firms operating in regional markets and Zhongjin is not aware of any other company committed to the development of a manufacturing platform for the xenograft technology to serve the current national demand for such products.
Shanxi Osteorad is a competitor on a national level and it specializes in allograft-related products. Other companies that provide bone grafting medical devices include the synthetic bone grafting products from companies such as Shanghai Rebone Biomaterials Co., Ltd., and U.S. Biomaterials Corporation, as well as Mathys (Shanghai) Medical Trading Company Ltd. which produce syntheticbone grafting products. The Shanghai Xiaobo Science and Technology Development Company produces p-DBM (de-mineralized bone matrix) on a small scale and does not directly compete with Zhongjin.Related Party Transactions

Item 1A: Risk Factors
Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and the other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC.
OUR PRIMARY OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN THE PRC AND THEREFORE OUR BUSINESS CAN BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN THE PRC.
The Company's primary 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 environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's 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 environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, economic and social conditions, including due to public health and safety concerns, in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The Company's operating assets and sources of income and cash flows are in the PRC. The PRC economy has, for many years, been a centrally-planned economy, operating on the basis of annual, five-year and ten-year state plans adopted by central PRC governmental authorities, which set out national production and development targets. The PRC government has been pursuing economic reforms since it first adopted its "open-door" policy in 1978. There is no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue economic reforms or that there will not be any significant change in its economic or other policies, particularly in the event of any change in the political leadership of, or the political, economic or social conditions in, the PRC. There is also no assurance that the Company will not be adversely affected by any such change in governmental policies or any unfavorable change in the political, economic or social conditions, the laws or regulations, or the rate or method of taxation in the PRC.
As many of the economic reforms which have been or are being implemented by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, they may be subject to adjustment or refinement, which may have adverse effects on the Company. Further, through state plans and other economic and fiscal measures, it remains possible for the PRC government to exert significant influence on the PRC economy.
We prepare our financial statements in U.S. dollars, but our earnings and expenditures are dominated in Chinese yuan. Changes in exchange rates will result in increases or decreases in our costs and earnings, and may also affect the book value of our assets located in the PRC and the amount of our equity.
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUING EFFORTS OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL AND OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED IF WE LOSE THEIR SERVICES.
Our future success depends heavily upon the continuing services of the members of our senior management team, in particular our chairman, president and chief executive officer, Mr. Fuzhi Song, and our chief financial officer, Mr. Shuli Zhang. If one or more of our senior executive or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
WE DO NOT HAVE PATENT OR TRADEMARD PROTECTION FOR OUR RBX TECHNOLOGY
Zhongjin does not have any patents or trademarks on its RBX technology and has not applied for any such intellectual property protection. Instead, we maintain the RBX technology as a trade secret and attempt to limit the number of employees with knowledge of the RBX technology. Each of our employees with such knowledge has signed confidentiality agreements with the Company. Nevertheless, because we do not have patent or trademark protection, there is a risk that our competitors could obtain knowledge of and use the RBX technology to our disadvantage.
WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS INSURANCE COVERAGE.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.
OUR SUBSIDIARY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON PAYING DIVIDENDS AND MAKING OTHER PAYMENTS TO US.
We are a company incorporated in the State of Delaware and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in Zhongjin. As a result of our company structure, we rely entirely on dividend payments from our subsidiary in China. However, PRC regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. See "---Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of an investment in our securities."
UNCERTAINTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRC LEGAL SYSTEM COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
We conduct our business primarily through our subsidiary. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our subsidiary is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
Since 1979 PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently-enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES EFFECTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS, ENFORCING FOREIGN JUDGMENTS OR BRINGING ORIGINAL ACTIONS IN CHINA BASED ON UNITED STATES OR OTHER FOREIGN LAWS AGAINST US OR OUR MANAGEMENT.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our PRC counsel has advised us that the PRC does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL OF CURRENCY CONVERSION MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC subsidiary. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
RECENT PRC REGULATIONS RELATING TO ACQUISITIONS OF PRC COMPANIES BY FOREIGN ENTITIES MAY CREATE REGULATORY UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD LIMIT OUR PRC SUBSIDIARY'S ABILITY TO DISTRIBUTE DIVIDENDS.
The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company intends to acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by the PRC resident of a PRC company's assets or equity interest to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign entities.
In April 2005, SAFE issued another pubic notice clarifying the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents had been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the issuance of the January notice, each of the PRC residents is required to submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch to register his or her respective ownership interest in the offshore company. The SAFE notices do not specify the time frame during which such registration must be completed. The PRC resident must also amend such registration form if there is a material event affecting the offshore company, such as, among other things, a change to share capital, a transfer of shares, or if such company is involved in a merger and an acquisition or a spin-off transaction or uses its assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. We have notified our shareholders who are PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notices. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all of our shareholders who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by those SAFE notices. The failure or inability of our PRC resident shareholders to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiary's ability to distribute dividends to us.
As it is uncertain how the SAFE notices will be interpreted or implemented, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the SAFE notices. This may restrict our ability to implement an acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

WE HAVE NOT OBTAINED NECESSARY APPROVALS FOR OWNERSHIP IN OUR PRC SUBSIDIARY
According to the prevailing relevant PRC laws and
regulations, a foreign ownership in TZBD is prohibited unless government
approvals from the Tianjin offices of the State Administration of Foreign
Exchange, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Administration for Industry
and Commerce are obtained. Genex has entered into agreements with the original
stockholders of TZBD in respect of the transfer of legal title of the equity
interest in TZBD to Genex. However, Genex has not submitted an application for
the change of the equity interest of TZBD since the agreements were entered. Management believes that there should be no legal barriers
for the Company to obtain the legal ownership of TZBD. However, in the event
that the Company fails to obtain necessary approvals from those offices, there
is the risk that the Company may not have equity interest of TZBD and may not
enjoy the rights and benefits of being the legal owner of TZBD including
repatriation of capital, distribution of profits, etc. Nevertheless, on May 19, 2006, the Company entered into a
trusteeship agreement with Mr. Fuzhi Song and Mr. Deshun Song (the
"Consigners"), the legal shareholders of TZBD. The trusteeship agreement took
effect from June 17, 2004 and stipulates that the Consigners are holding all the
equity shares in TZBD in trust for the Company and that the Company shall have
the exclusive power and authority to exercise any and all shareholder rights
with respect to all the equity shares in TZBD as if the Company was the legal,
registered owner of such shares in TZBD. On the same date, the Company entered into a contract for
management service with TZBD. The contract for management service took effect
from June 17, 2004 and stipulates that the Company shall provide management,
administrative and related services to TZBD, and, in return, TZBD shall pay to
the Company a base annual fee of RMB1,000 and a floating fee equal to TZBD's
gross revenues less its gross expenses for each payment period. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which
obligates the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from TZBD's
activities and enables the Company to receive a majority of its expected
residual returns, management believes TZBD is a variable interest entity under
FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51", because the legal shareholders of
TZBD do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the
Company should be considered the primary beneficiary of TZBD and be entitled to
all the risks and returns from TZBD. Accordingly, the Company consolidates
TZBD's results, assets and liabilities.
WE HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Certain conflicts of interest exist between us and our officers and directors. The officers and directors have other business interests to which they currently devote attention, and are expected to continue to do so. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of judgment in a manner which is consistent with their fiduciary duties owed to the Company.
NO AUDIT COMMITTEE OR CODE OF ETHICS
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") encourages all companies with publicly-traded securities to have an independent audit committee and to adopt a code of ethics that applies to a company's senior financial officers. The Securities and Exchange Commission expanded the scope of SOX by rule to include a company's principal executive officer.
The Company does not have an audit committee, nor does its Board of Directors include any directors who are "independent." Further, the Company has not adopted a "code of ethics," although it intends to do so by the end of 2006. Because the Company does not have an audit committee and has not adopted a code of ethics, its shareholders do not have the protections or benefits that derive from there being an audit committee with independent directors or a code of ethics applicable to its principal executive and financial officers.
REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate certain low-priced securities or "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g- 9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because our securities may constitute penny stocks within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply us and to our securities. These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of our Shareholders to sell such securities in any market that might develop thereafter.
According to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns form being established with respect to our securities.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our By-Laws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such persons promise to repay us thereafter if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which we may be unable to recoup.
9
DEPENDENCE UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by our officers. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an as needed basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event our officers consider it necessary to hire outside advisors, they may elect to hire people who are affiliates, if those affiliates are able to provide the required services.
NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS
We have not paid dividends on our securities and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
NO PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS
While our equity securities are listed for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol "GENX.OB," there is no significant or consistent public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a shareholder will ever be able to liquidate an investment in our common stock without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile.
Factors such as those discussed in this Risk Factors section may have a significant impact upon the market price of the securities. Owing to the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in theses securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many leading institutions will not permit the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.
RULE 144 SALES
Our restricted shares of common stock may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable state securities law. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of our outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of at least one year. A sale under Rule 144, or under any other exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of common stock of present shareholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our common stock.
STATE LAW CONSIDERATION
Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the laws of any state, the holders of such shares, and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.Overview
Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc., formerly known as KS E-Media Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"or "Genex"), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 28, 2002. Prior to June 17, 2004, the Company was considered a development stage company. The Company was a start-up Internet based fulfillment company with offices in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
On June 8, 2004, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Tianjin Zhongjin Biology Development Co., Ltd. ("Zhongjin"), a company formed under the laws of the People's Republic of China, and the shareholders of Zhongjin. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100 percent of Zhongjin's shares in exchange for 3,658,375 restricted shares of the Company's common stock which were issued to the Zhongjin shareholders. On June 17, 2004, the stock purchase made pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement was consummated. On June 27, 2004, the Company effectuated a four-for-one stock dividend of the Company's common stock. On June 29, 2004, the Company changed its name to the present name.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2004
The accompanying consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2005 include the accounts of Genex and its 100% owned subsidiary, Zhongjin, for the year then ended. The historical results for the year ended December 31, 2004 only include the accounts of Genex from the date of acquisition and its 100% owned subsidiary, Zhongjin for the year then ended. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net sales were $2,491,242 as compared to net sales of $2,350,050 for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of $141,192 or 6.01%. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the commercialization of our main product, Reconstituted Bone Xenograft, as well as increased marketing efforts, which resulted in increases in our customer base and related volume of recurring and new customer sales.
Gross Profit. For the year ended December 31, 2005, total gross profit was $2,188,996 or 87.9% of total net sales, as compared to total gross profit of $2,067,404 or 88.0% of total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company was able to maintain the gross profit margin at the same level for both year 2005 and 2004, which was primarily due to commercialization of our main product, Reconstituted Bone Xenograft, and increased sales of products.
Selling Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, selling expenses were $537,366, as compared to $528,427 for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of $8,939 or 1.69%. The selling expenses to sales, is 21.5% and 22.5% for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. In 2005, the Company started a bonus scheme to stimulate and reward the performance of the sales staff. Accordingly, there was an increase of $78,629 or 43.7% in salaries expenses and an increase of $13,090 or 56.6% in staff welfare expenses. Meanwhile, the Company implemented tight budget control on all other selling expenses, and so there was only a slight increase in total selling expenses in 2005 as compared to that of 2004. During the year, there were decreases of $37,326 or 52.2% in meeting expenses, $20,652 or 80% in printing expenses, $18,011 or 11.8% in traveling expenses and $8,897 or 90% in training expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses were $645,128, as compared to general and administrative expenses of $542,498 for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of $102,630 or 18.9%. The percentage of general and administrative expenses to sales is 25.9% and 23.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. General and administrative expenses are relatively less dependant to sales and the significant increases in general and administrative expenses are mainly due to the increases in provision of doubtful debts of $21,273, audit fee expenses of $50,000 and professional fees of $30,000 in 2005.
Research and Development Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2005, research and development expenses were $85,916, as compared to research and development expenses of $4,361 for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of $81,555 or 1870%. The significant increases in mainly due to increased expenses to research and develop for new products.
Other income (Expenses). For the year ended December 31, 2005, interest income was $68,804 as compared to interest income of $22,646 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the increase in amounts advanced to related parties during 2005. In addition, there was a penalty tax of $35,009 during 2005 for non-compliance in filing our Enterprise Income Tax return with the local tax bureau upon expiry of tax holidays in May 2005.
Net Income. The Company recorded a net income of $625,014 and $1,013,261 for the fiscal year ended
13
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease is attributable to the substantial increases in research and development expenses in 2005 to develop new products and the expiry of tax holidays in May 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company's operations provided cash resources of $1,377,233, as compared to cash resources used of $90,046 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in net cash flows generated from operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the decrease in cash flows related to accounts receivable, other receivables, advances from customers and accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2005, we had $296,194 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $325,995 as of December 31, 2004.
Investing. Additions to property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,498 as compared to $6,110 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Financing. There were no financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company used $1,452,285 for financing activities to earn interest income and received a subsidy of $37,123 from a government authority to finance its research and development projects.
Plan of Operation
The Company anticipates that, based on current plans and assumptions relating to its existing operations, its projected cash flow from operations is sufficient to support the Company's working capital requirements for its planned operations for the next twelve months.
Exchange rate
Fluctuations of currency exchange rates between Renminbi and the United States dollar could adversely affect our business, since our sole investment conducts its business exclusively in China, and its revenue from operations is settled in Renminbi. The Chinese government controls its foreign reserves through restrictions on imports and conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. Although the Renminbi to United States dollar exchange rate has been stable since January 1, 1994 and the Chinese government has stated its intention to maintain the stability of the value of the Renminbi, there can be no assurance that exchange rates will remain stable. The Renminbi could devalue against the United States dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our revenue arising from the sales of products in China and denominated in Renminbi and our financial performance when measured in United States dollars.
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's currency and the Company's functional currency. The unit of Renminbi is in Yuan. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Cumulative translation adjustment amount and translation adjustment gain at and for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $78,101.
On July 21, 2005, the PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to US$ was adjusted to RMB8.11: US$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People's Bank of
14
China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as US$ traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, which then becomes the unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of US$ against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of
±0.3% around the unified exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.Recent accounting pronouncements
In 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132R, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Revised in December 2003)."an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106 (Issued 12/03). This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. SFAS 132R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 132R did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory CostsAn Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4" (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead as an inventory cost. The new statement also requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs to conversion costs should be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions in SFAS 151 must be applied prospectively and become effective for us beginning January 1, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152 "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" ("SFAS 152"). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-2 "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions" ("SOP 04-2"). SFAS 152 also amends FASB Statement No. 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental operations of Real Estate Projects" to state that the guidance for incidental operations and costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions, with the accounting for those operations and costs being subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. The provisions of SFAS 152 are effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 152 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R). This statement requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the SEC deferred the effective date of SFAS 123R for SEC registrants to the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we expect to implement the revised standard in the first quarter of 2006. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our
15
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29" (SFAS 153). This statement amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that have no commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 was effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" (FIN 47). Under FIN 47, we are required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Any uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of future settlement should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value. The provisions of FIN 47 were required to be applied no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. As such, we adopted FIN 47 in the fourth quarter of 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" (SFAS 154). This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS 154 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such we are required to adopt SFAS 154 by January 1, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets". This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in indicated situations; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose relevant subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
16
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments". This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, "Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. It also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 155 on its financial statements, if any.
The management of the Company does not expect these recent pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Item 7 Financial Statements
The Financial Statements and schedules that constitute Item 7 are attached at the end of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. An index to these Financial Statements and schedules is also included in Item 13 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On June 9, 2004, the Company notified Manning Elliott, Chartered Accountants ("Elloitt"), its independent public accountant, that the Company was terminating its engagement effective June 17, 2004. The Company's Board of Directors approved such decision.
Elliott's opinion in its report on the Company's financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principle. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period ended June 17, 2004 (the date of termination), there were no disagreements with Elliott on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Elliott would have caused disagreements in connection with its report on our financial statements for any such periods.
From June 17, 2004 to October 26, 2004, Kabani & Company, Inc. ("Kabani") was engaged as the Company's independent public accountants. Prior to their dismissal, there were no disagreements with Kabani on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kabani would have caused them to make reference to this subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, nor were there any "reportable events" as such term as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B .
On October 26, 2004, the Board of Directors dismissed Kabani as the Company's independent public accountants. On October 28, 2004, the Board appointed Weinberg & Company, Inc. to serve as the Company's independent public accountants until its dismissal on March 29, 2005.

None of the reports of Weinberg & Company, Inc. on the Company's financial statements since the last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. From the time Weinberg & Company, Inc. was engaged as the Company's independent public accountants and during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal, there were no disagreements with Weinberg & Company, Inc. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Weinberg & Company, Inc.'s satisfaction, would have caused Weinberg & Company, Inc. to make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report on the Registrant's financial statements during such periods; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
From March 29, 2005 to November 16, 2005, Kabani & Company, Inc. ("Kabani") was engaged as the Company's independent public accountants. On November 16, 2005, the Board of Directors dismissed Kabani as the Company's independent public accountants and appointed GC Alliance Limited, Certified Public Accountants, to serve as the Company's independent public accountants till its dismissal on March 29, 2006. None of the reports of Kabani & Company, Inc. on the Company's financial statements since the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. From the time Kabani & Company, Inc. was engaged as the Company's independent public accountants and during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal, there were no disagreements with Kabani & Company, Inc. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Kabani & Company, Inc.'s satisfaction, would have caused Kabani & Company, Inc. to make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report on the Registrant's financial statements during such periods; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
On March 29, 2006, the Company appointed Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, Chartered Accountants, to serve as the Company's independent public accountants. None of the reports of GC Alliance Limited on the Company's financial statements since the last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. From the time GC Alliance Limited was engaged as the Company's independent public accountants and during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal, there were no disagreements with GC Alliance Limited on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to GC Alliance Limited's satisfaction, would have caused GC Alliance Limited to make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report on the Registrant's financial statements during such periods; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
Item 8A. Internal Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). As has been previously reported in its Form 8-K filings, the Company replaced the firm which audited its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Kabani & Company, with a new auditing firm, GC Alliance. Subsequently, we were notified by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), that GC Alliance had not completed all of the required steps to have demonstrated to the Office of the Chief Accountant that it has the requisite knowledge and experience to be qualified to report on the financial statements that were to be included in our Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. It was therefore necessary for us to replace GC Alliance with an auditing firm that was SEC qualified to report on our financial statements. Accordingly, on March 29, 2006 we retained the firm of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, Charted Accountants, as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2005.
For the reasons described in the prior paragraph, our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 could not be filed on the respective original due dates. However, we have taken steps to improve the effectiveness of our internal recording, processing, summarizing and reporting of financial information and believe these enhancements have positively affected both our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to provide accurate and timely financial statements. Accordingly, for future reporting periods based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Employee Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics and Reporting of Accounting Concerns
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive and financial officers. The Company has been made aware that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 encouraged issuers to adopt such a code of ethics or to explain why such a code has not been adopted. The Company does not have an objection to adopting such a code and has merely failed to date to have adopted one. However, the Company plans to establish and adopt a code of ethics by the end of 2006.
Item 10 - Executive Compensation
No compensation was paid to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for remuneration during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. None of the executive officers of the Company received annual compensation in excess of $100,000.

Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements
We currently have no employment, severance or change of control agreements.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Our certificate of incorporation, with certain exceptions, eliminates any personal liability of directors or officers to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for the breach of such person's fiduciary duty, and, therefore, an officer or director cannot be held liable for damages to us or our stockholders for gross negligence or lack of due care in carrying out his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer except in certain specified instances. We have also adopted by-laws which provide for indemnification to the full extent permitted under law which includes all liability, damages and costs or expenses arising from or in connection with service for, employment by, or other affiliation with us to the maximum extent and under all circumstances permitted by law.
20
There are presently no material pending legal proceedings to which a director, officer and employee of ours is a party. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee or other agent.
To the extent provisions of our by-laws provide for indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, those provisions are, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, against public policy and therefore are unenforceable.
Item 11 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
As used in this section, the term beneficial ownership with respect to a security is defined by Rule 13d-3 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as consisting of sole or shared voting power (including the power to vote or direct the vote) and/or sole or shared investment power (including the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of) with respect to the security through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2004 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated May 13, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 1(b), the Company has not received regulatory approval from the relevant authorities for the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary Tianjin Zhongjin Biology Development Co., Ltd. ("TZBD"). The Company has, however, entered into a trusteeship agreement with the legal owners of TZBD and a management agreement with TZBD as detailed in Note 1(b), whereby the shares of TZBD are being held for the benefits of the Company.

GENEX PHARMACEUTICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
1a) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BUSINESS COMBINATION
Tianjin Zhongjin Biology Development Co., Ltd. ("TZBD") was founded in the People's Republic of China on February 10, 2003. TZBD is located in the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone in the People's Republic of China. The business license of TZBD was issued by Tianjin Industrial and Commercial Administration on February 10, 2004. The operating period of the business license is from February 10, 2003 to February 9, 2053. TZBD is primarily engaged in production and sales of Reconstituted Bone Xenograft (RBX) in the People's Republic of China. All of the customers are hospitals in People's Republic of China. Marketing is either through distributors or through TZBD's sales offices in various cities in China.
On June 17, 2004, TZBD consummated a share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") with KS E-Media Holdings, Inc. ("KSE"), a Delaware corporation, under which TZBD shareholders sold 100% undivided interest in TZBD to KSE, in exchange for 3,658,375 shares of KSE. As a part of the agreement, KSE cancelled 2,212,500 shares of its issued and outstanding stock owned by its former president. Within ten (10) days from the Closing Date, KS E-Media effectuated a four-for-one forward split of the KS E-Media Common Shares by way of stock dividend. On June 17, 2004, the KSE was renamed Genex Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("the Company").
KSE was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 28, 2002. Through June 17, 2004, KSE was considered a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". KSE was a start-up stage Internet based fulfilment Company based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. KSE filed a SB-2 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 23, 2002 that was declared effective May 7, 2003.
As a condition to the Share Purchase Agreement, KSE sold its business operations, as they existed immediately before the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement to Mr. Mayur Pandya, the then president and CEO of KSE for a consideration of 2,212,500 shares of KSE's common stock being returned to the Company by Mr. Mayur Pandya. Consequently, KSE became a non-operating shell.
According to the terms of the share exchange agreement, control of the combined companies (the "Company") passed to the former shareholders of TZBD. Pursuant to the SEC's accounting interpretation and guidance, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the acquisition of TZBD by KSE was treated as a "reverse acquisition" while the cost of the acquisition was measured based on the value of KSE's net tangible assets and no goodwill or other intangible was recorded. No pro forma financial statements are being presented as the legal acquirer had no significant asset or operations prior to the acquisition.
1 b) OWNERSHIP OF A PRC SUBSIDIARY
According to the prevailing relevant PRC laws and regulations, a foreign ownership in TZBD is prohibited unless government approvals from the Tianjin offices of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce are obtained. Genex has entered into agreements with the original stockholders of TZBD in respect of the transfer of legal title of the equity interest in TZBD to Genex. However, Genex has not submitted an application for the change of the equity interest of TZBD since the agreements were entered.
Management believes that there should be no legal barriers for the Company to obtain the legal ownership of TZBD. However, in the event that the Company fails to obtain necessary approvals from those offices, there is the risk that the Company may not have equity interest of TZBD and may not enjoy the rights and benefits of being the legal owner of TZBD including repatriation of capital, distribution of profits, etc.
Nevertheless, on May 19, 2006, the Company entered into a trusteeship agreement with Mr. Fuzhi Song and Mr. Deshun Song (the "Consigners"), the legal shareholders of TZBD. The trusteeship agreement took effect from June 17, 2004 and stipulates that the Consigners are holding all the equity shares in TZBD in trust for the Company and that the Company shall have the exclusive power and authority to exercise any and all shareholder rights with respect to all the equity shares in TZBD as if the Company was the legal, registered owner of such shares in TZBD.
On the same date, the Company entered in to a contract for management service with TZBD. The contract for management service took effect from June 17, 2004 and stipulates that the Company shall provide management, administrative and related services to TZBD, and, in return, TZBD shall pay to the Company a base annual fee of RMB1,000 and a floating fee equal to TZBD's gross revenues less its gross expenses for each payment period.
1 c) CHANGE IN REGISTRATION LOCATION:
The Company changed its registration location from Tianjin economic and technological development district to Tianjin Xiqing economic development district. The change in registration took place on March 5, 2004.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements at and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 includes the accounts of TZBD and its parent company, KSE (legal acquirer) from the date of acquisition. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-8
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand and time deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
b. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made to write down the inventories to the market value, if market is lower than cost.
c. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company periodically adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's continuing review of accounts receivable. This analysis by management is based on the composition of accounts receivable, analysis of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, an analysis of current economic and business trends as well as changes in customer payment patterns. The Company has no specific terms of the sales. The Company records a full allowance for accounts receivable that have been determined legally to be uncollectible. For accounts receivable that have been outstanding for over 180 days, the Company determines an appropriate allowance based on individual circumstances.
During the year ended December 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded $47,459 and $22,135 as general allowance for doubtful and long overdue accounts.
d. Advances from customers
The customers advance payments to the Company for purchases. The advances are interest free and unsecured. The advances from customers amounted to $203,685 at December 31, 2005.
e. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
f. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting
F-9
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.". SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2005, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
g. Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company had recorded other comprehensive income of $78,101 and $nil for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The other comprehensive income for 2005 arose from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the comprehensive income was $703,115 and $1,013,261 respectively.
h. Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Generally, revenue is recognized when all of the four criteria are met: (i) There is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
(a) Sale of products to Hospitals
The Company's major customers consist of hospitals. Revenue from the sale of products to hospitals is recognized when the products have been delivered to the hospitals and the products have been applied by the hospitals to the patients during the course of medical treatment. As such, there is no sales return after the revenue is recognized.
(b) Sale of products to / through medical device resellers and distributors
Other than direct sales to ultimate customers by the Company's own sales personnel, the Company also sells its products through medical device resellers and distributors. Revenue from sale of products through medical resellers is recognized when the products have been delivered to the medical device resellers and distributors and confirmation has been received from the resellers or distributors of their acceptance of the goods. The Company has entered into master agency agreements with the resellers and distributors which fixed the sales prices.
Products delivered to and accepted by customers, resellers or distributors are not returnable or exchangeable.
Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT). No return allowance is made as product returns are insignificant based on historical experience.
F-10
i. Advertising costs
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were insignificant.
j. Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed to operations as incurred.
k. Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
l. Stock based compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS No.123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
The Company continues to follow Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", in accounting for stock options issued to employees (see Note 12) and non-employee directors, and pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share as if the Company had accounted for such stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The Company did not grant any stock options to its officers and management during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
m. Earnings per share
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net income per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by
F-11
applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
n. Statutory reserves
In accordance with the PRC Companies Law, the Company's PRC subsidiary is required to appropriate a percentage of its profit after taxation, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, to the statutory reserves before any dividend distribution. The statutory reserves are comprised of a statutory surplus reserve and a statutory common welfare fund. Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Companies Law, the statutory surplus reserve may be distributed to stockholders in the form of share bonus and/or cash dividends. The statutory common welfare fund is non-distributable and is restricted for the capital expenditure for the collective benefits of all the staff of the Company's employees. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, no dividend had been declared by TZBD.
o. Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's currency and the Company's functional currency. The unit of Renminbi is in Yuan. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Cumulative translation adjustment amount and translation adjustment gain at and for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $78,101.
On July 21, 2005, the PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to US$ was adjusted to RMB8.11: US$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People's Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as US$ traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, which will become the unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of US$ against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of
±0.3% around the unified exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions required submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.TZBD's assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005 and its statement of income for the year then ended were translated at the rates of RMB8.0702:US$1.00 and RMB8.1917:US$1.00, respectively, whereas its assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2004, and its statement of income for the year then ended were translated at the single rate of RMB8.27:US$1.00. No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$ at these rates.
p. Fair values of financial instruments
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and
F-12
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments, accounts payable and accruals, short-term loans and amount due to and due from related parties. The carrying values of financial instruments approximate the fair values because of their short-term maturities.
q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.
r. Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
s. Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company consists of one reportable business segment. All revenue is from customers in People's Republic of China. All of the Company's assets are located in People's Republic of China.
t. Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This statement requires that idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67". SFAS No. 152 amends SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions". This statement also amends SFAS No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that
F-13
the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is in process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial position.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. ("FIN") 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143". FIN 47 clarifies that SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," requires that an entity recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 31, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 47 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
The management of the Company does not expect these recent pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

7. DEFFERED SUBSIDY INCOME
The amounts represent subsidies for hi-tech projects granted by the PRC government.
In 2005, a subsidy in the amount of $37,174 was approved to be granted and was paid to the Company for financing the Company's research and development activities which meet the Good Manufacturing Practices Standard ("GMP Standard"). Out of $37,174, $18,373 was put into use during the year. According to the regulation for granting this government subsidy, this fund may be treated as capital contributed by the company appointed by the PRC government ("contributing company") or loan from such company which the Company will need to repay. However, no agreement has yet been reached with the contributing company regarding the final treatment of this subsidy. Therefore, the amount is included under non-current liabilities. Since the final treatment of this fund may not be confirmed in 2006, the Company deferred its recognition as other income only when the Company met the criteria set out in the Technology Subsidy Scheme including the formal certification and endorsement by the Bureau.

8. TAX PENALTY
The Company's subsidiary, Tianjin Zhongjin Biology Development Co., Ltd. (TZBD), being registered in the PRC is subject to PRC's Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, Enterprise Income Taxes is generally imposed at a statutory rate of 33%, which comprises 30% national income tax and 3% local income tax and tax returns should be filed on a quarterly basis.

16. CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The Company's primary 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 environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's 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 environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, economic and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The Company's operating assets and primary sources of income and cash flows are its interest in subsidiaries and associated company in the PRC. The PRC economy has, for many years, been a centrally-planned economy, operating on the basis of annual, five-year and ten-year state plans adopted by central PRC governmental authorities, which set out national production and development targets. The PRC government has been pursuing economic reforms since it first adopted its "open-door" policy in 1978. There is no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue economic reforms or that there will not be any significant change in its economic or other policies, particularly in the event of any change in the political leadership of, or the political, economic or social conditions in, the PRC. There is also no assurance that the Company will not be adversely affected by any such change in governmental policies or any unfavourable change in the political, economic or social conditions, the laws or regulations, or the rate or method of taxation in the PRC.
As many of the economic reforms which have been or are being implemented by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, they may be subject to adjustment or refinement, which may have adverse effects on the Company. Further, through state plans and other economic and fiscal measures, it remains possible for the PRC government to exert significant influence on the PRC economy.
