NOTE 1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES

(A) The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows reflected all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, at June 30, 2006, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $23,982,795 as at June 30, 2006, however, the Company has developed and is implementing a plan to decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will allow the Company to continue operations.

 

To meet these objectives, the Company plans to seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. The Company has also significantly increased production levels to generate additional cash flow under contracted supply agreements. In addition, the Company intends to continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they become due, as has been done in the past. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities. Management believes that actions presently taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the annual report previously filed on Form 10-KSB.

 

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(B) In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required.

SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company using the modified prospective transition method beginning January 1 2006. Accordingly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company recorded a non-cash stock based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under FAS 123 were in effect for expense recognition purposes. This resulted in $90,518 and $181,036 being charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is an increase in the loss from continuing operations, loss before income taxes and net loss of $90,518 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is an increase in the loss from continuing operations and a decrease in income before taxes and net income of $181,036. The adoption of SFAS123(R) had no effect on the cash flow from operations, cash flow from financing activities and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(C) In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”, which is the result of the FASB’s project to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility costs, abnormal freight, handling costs, and amounts of wasted materials (spoilage) be treated as current-period costs. Under this concept, if the costs associated with the actual level of spoilage or production defects are greater than the costs associated with the range of normal spoilage or defects, the difference would be charged to current-period expense, not included in inventory costs.

SFAS No. 151 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the current period.

(D) Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

ACQUISITION OF ORIENTAL WAVE HOLDINGS LIMITED

 

The Company completed the acquisition of Oriental Wave Holdings Limited (“Oriental Wave”) on January 12, 2005 whereby the Company issued 44,502,004 common shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Oriental Wave. The acquisition represented an important strategic step in strengthening the competitive position of the Company. The transaction has been approved by the Company’s shareholders and the regulatory authorities, who also approved an increase in the authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares.

This transaction resulted in the former shareholders of Oriental Wave owning 68.35% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined entity as of January 12, 2005. Accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisition have been applied to record the acquisition. Under this basis of accounting, Oriental Wave was the acquirer and, accordingly, the consolidated entity is considered to be a continuation of Oriental Wave with the net assets of the Company deemed to have been acquired and recorded at its fair market value of approximately $7.9 million.

Aggregate intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the quoted price of the Company’s common shares that were in-the-money. As of June 30, 2006 there was no intrinsic value to the Company’s stock options exerciseable or outstanding as none of the options were in-the-money. There is approximately $224,000 of unrecognized compensation expense as of June 30, 2006 that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of nine months. The estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $276,252 and $1,975,199 , respectively.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as

services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2006, on a modified prospective basis, whereby the Company records a non-cash stock based compensation based upon the fair value of the options at the time they are granted. This resulted in $90,518 and $181,036 relating to general and administrative expenses being charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The company continued to use the straight-line amortization method to recognize compensation expense.

The Company previously accounted for its stock-based compensation plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation is recognized in connection with options granted to employees and directors except if options are granted with a strike price below fair value of the underlying stock. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, the Company is required to calculate and present the pro forma effect of all awards granted. The fair value of each option granted to an employee was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, dividend yield 0%, volatility of 90%, and expected lives of approximately 5 years. The volatility was computed based historical stock prices. The expected life is computed based on historical experience, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock based awards and vesting schedules. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate having a term equal to the expected life of the option in effect at the time of grant. The weighted average fair value of the options granted was $0.69 for the options granted in January 2005 and $0.43 for the options granted in September 2005. Based on the computed option values and the number of the options issued, had the Company recognized compensation expense in the prior period the following would have been its effect on the Company’s net income and earnings per share:

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005:

CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS

 

59% and 82% of the Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were derived from customers located in China. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 63% and 87% of the Company’s revenues, respectively, were derived from customers located in China. The Company had sales of $8,422,679 in the Chemical Division to a customer in India, representing 31% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006. 99% of the Company’s assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were located in China.

Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 66% and 44% of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively; while sales to the Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 31% and 14%, respectively. Amounts owing from one customer represented 10% of the Company’s trade and other receivables at June 30, 2006 and 12 % of the Company’s trade and other receivables at December 31, 2005.

The Company is exposed to the risk arising from changing interest rates. A detailed analysis of the Company’s Loans Payable, together with their respective interest rates and maturity dates, are included in Note 9.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

The following discusses the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 based upon the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

 

Incorporated in Florida, USA and headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Dragon, prior to the acquisition of Oriental Wave, was formed to develop, market, and sell biologics such as Erythropoietin (EPO) in China and international markets outside of China. Dragon manufactured and sold EPO through its wholly-owned drug manufacturing company Nanjing Huaxin Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Huaxin”) located in Nanjing City, China,. Nanjing Huaxin’s EPO has been approved and marketed in nine countries including China, India, Egypt, Brazil, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad-Tobago, Peru, and Kosovo. Since August 2005, the Nanjing Huaxin facility was closed and the EPO production facility was relocated to Datong, China. Located next to the Chemical division facility in Datong, China, the EPO production facility obtained Chinese SFDA GMP (Chinese State Food and Drug Administration Good Manufacturing Practice) certification on December 30, 2005. Production of EPO in this new facility began in March, 2006 and sales to the Chinese market started in April 2006.

 

On January 12, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Oriental Wave in a reverse take-over transaction. Dragon acquired all of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave from Mr. Yanlin Han, Mr. Zhanguo Weng, and Ms. Xuemei Liu. As a result of the acquisition, Mr. Han, Mr. Weng, and Ms. Liu collectively owned 68.35% of Dragon’s outstanding shares of common stock at the time of the closing of the transaction. As a result of the acquisition of Oriental Wave, Dragon has transformed into a diversified and growth oriented generic pharmaceutical company with three key business divisions. These divisions consist of a Biotech division for biologics products, such as EPO, a Chemical division for bulk pharmaceutical chemicals and intermediates, such as Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA, and a Pharma division for formulated drugs, including prescription, over-the-counter drugs and sterilized bulk drugs.

 

On June 29, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with an arm-length third party to sell part of the Pharma division, including all the formulation production facilities located in the Economic Development Zone in Datong, China, 258 drug approvals from the Chinese SFDA, 900 employees and the whole direct sales team to hospitals for the formulation business and related inventories, account receivables and account payables. The total selling price for the assets is $ 13.32 million. The transaction was completed on July 1, 2006. In addition, the Company also signed a separate agreement, with an amendment on July 28, 2006, to deliver international registration documentation and services on a related product to this arm-length third party. This documentation and services agreement is valued at $1.5 million and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter

 

27

 

 

 

of 2006. The amended Agreement expanded the scope and coverage which will allow the Company to provide additional international registration documentation and assistance to complete the registration in other market areas. The fees related to the expanded scope will be negotiated and determined in the future.

 

Subsequent to the sales of part of the Pharma division, Oriental Wave, through its wholly owned subsidiary in China, Shanxi Weiqida Pharmaceutical Ltd. (“Shanxi Weiqida”), now has four production facilities located in Datong, China: three SFDA certified GMP production facilities consisting of a chemical plant producing clavulanic acid with an annual capacity of 50 tons, a biotech facility producing EPO and a pharmaceutical facility producing freeze-dry injectables. In addition, Shanxi Weiqida has a fourth facility producing 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics, by a fermentation process. 7-ACA is an intermediate product and does not require GMP certification for the 7-ACA production facility.

 

Pharma Division

 

Subsequent to the sale of part of the Pharma division on July 1, 2006, the Company owns 30 drug approvals from the SFDA for the Pharma division, mostly Cephalosporin Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and powder for injection. With this more focused product combination, the Company is able to take advantage of being one of the important producers of 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. The Company will use qualified contract manufacturers to produce the Cephalosporin powder for injection and key sales agents and distributors to sell the formulation products in the Chinese market. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize excess production capacity of other formulation producers without having to commit huge capital expenditure in its own production facility.

 

In addition to the cephalosporin product lines, the Pharma division also offers freeze-dry injectable products. The Company has a freeze-dry injectable workshop, next to the EPO production facility, for the freeze-drying of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. Among these products is Levofloxacin, a product marketed by the Company whose production was outsourced to a third party contract manufacturer.

 

Chemical Division

 

The Chemical Division’s facilities are located on Datong Gongnong Road, Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. The Chemical Division produces the bulk pharmaceutical intermediates and API to sell to other pharmaceutical companies for further processing and formulation into finished products. The Chemical Division manages the production of Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA for both Chinese and international markets. The designed production capacity for Clavulanic Potassium and 7-ACA were 30 tons and 400 tons respectively. After the Company’s investment in the process optimization and technology improvement, the current production capacity reaches 50 tons and 600 tons for Clavulanic Potassium and 7-ACA respectively. The production for Clavulanic Acid was started in January 2004 and the production of 7-ACA was started in July 2004. One of the key products in Chemical Division is Clavulanic acid, a drug that combines with antibiotics increase the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Dragon is currently the only producer of Clavulanic acid in China. Another key product in the Chemical Division is 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. The 600-ton production capacity of 7-ACA positions Dragon among the main producers in the world. The export of 7-ACA to India

commenced in 2004. In 2004, Dragon’s Chemical Division entered into a 3-year long term supply agreement with a large Indian pharmaceutical company and the Company currently has a target to sell 50% of production to the Indian market. The Chemical Division operates its business strategies to upgrade its technology in order to improve yields and lower production cost, to develop 7-ACA and Clavulanic acid downstream bulk products, and to apply for approvals in the US and EU to enter into European and North American markets.

 

Biotech Division

 

The Biotech Division’s facility was relocated to Datong, China from its original production site in Nanjing City, China at the end of December, 2005. The new EPO production site is adjacent to the campus of the Chemical division, which already includes the entire basic infrastructure such as power, steam, purified water supply and water treatment facilities. The relocation of the EPO production site to Datong will allow the Company to capitalize on the existing production infrastructure and the efficiency of unified operational management. In the new facility, the capacity for bulk EPO doubled to 120 grams and the capacity for sterile vialing tripled to 5 million vials. The sole product of the Biotech Division is Erythropoietin or EPO, an injectable that stimulates red blood cell development. Dragon’s Biotech Division develops, manufactures and markets generic EPO in China and developing countries as the current core markets, and has already been approved and sold in 9 countries: China, India, Egypt, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Trinidad-Tobago, Dominican Republic and Kosovo. Currently, Dragon’s EPO is sold only in countries where there is no patent protection. In the past, Dragon was preparing to enter the European market with a new EPO product under development in Austria. However, in January 2006, the Company sold the development contract with the Austrian partner to a related party for $1 million cash and assumption of all obligations under the contract.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon the Dragon’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experiences and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and in Note 1 to the Dragon’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policy which include: SFAS No. 123(R) “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”,SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required.

 

SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company using the modified prospective transition method beginning January 1 2006. Accordingly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company recorded a non-cash stock based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, as if the fair value method required for pro forma disclosure under FAS 123 were in effect for expense recognition purposes. This resulted in $90,518 and $181,036 being charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is an increase in the loss from continuing operations, loss before income taxes and net loss of $90,518 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is an increase in the loss from continuing operations and a decrease in income before taxes and net income of $181,036. The adoption of SFAS123(R) had no effect on the cash flow from operations, cash flow from financing activities and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”, which is the result of the FASB’s project to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility costs, abnormal freight, handling costs, and amounts of wasted materials (spoilage) be treated as current-period costs. Under this concept, if the costs associated with the actual level of spoilage or production defects are greater than the costs associated with the range of normal spoilage or defects, the difference would be charged to current-period expense, not included in inventory costs.

 

SFAS No. 151 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the current period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company currently is assessing the impact of Interpretation No. 48 on results of operations and financial position.

 

 

 

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of Continuing Operations for the Three and Six months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

 

Sales. Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 111% to $13.89 million from $6.57 million for the same period in 2005. $8.80 million, or 63% of the sales for the second quarter in 2006 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining $5.09 million or 37% were generated from the sales of products in the international markets. Comparatively, $5.72 million, or 87% of the sales for the second quarter in 2005 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining 13% were generated from the sales of products in international markets.

 

In the second quarter of 2006, $1.57 million, or 11% of the sales, were from the Pharma Division, $11.92 million, or 86% of sales were from the Chemical Division and $0.40 million, or 3% of sales, were from the Biotech Division. For the same period in 2005, 14% of sales were from the Pharma Division, 74% of sales were from the Chemical Division and 12% of sales were from the Biotech Division. The increase in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period for the prior year was primarily due to increases in sales from the Chemical Division especially 7-ACA in both Chinese and international markets and Clavulanic Acid in the international market.

 

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 94% to $27.04million from $13.93 million for the same period in 2005. $15.97 million, or 59% of the sales for the first six months of 2006 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining $11.07 million or 41% were generated from the sales of products in the international markets. Comparatively, $11.36 million, or 82% of the sales for the first half of 2005 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining 18% were generated from the sales of products in international markets.

 

In the first half of 2006, $2.65 million, or 10% of the sales, were from the Pharma Division, $23.40 million, or 87% of sales were from the Chemical Division and $1 million, or 3% of sales, were from the Biotech Division. For the same period in 2005, 13% of sales were from the Pharma Division, 76% of sales were from the Chemical Division and 11% of sales were from the Biotech Division. The increase in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period for the prior year was primarily due to increases in sales from the Chemical Division, especially 7-ACA in both Chinese and international markets and Clavulanic Acid in the international market.

 

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $11.49 million compared to $5.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of the Company’s pharmaceutical products with the increase in the cost of sales related to the growth in products and sales in the Chemical Division. Gross profit and gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.39 million and 17% compared to $1 million and 15% for the same period of 2005. The slight increase in gross margin was mainly due to an improved margin for the Chemical division especially for 7-ACA products.

 

 

 

 

 

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $22.02 million compared to $12.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit and gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $5.02 million and 19% compared to $1.86 million and 13% for the same period of 2005. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to an improved margin for the Chemical division especially for 7-ACA products.

 

Divisional Sales and Gross Margin Analysis

The Company’s businesses are organized under three business divisions: the Pharma Division, the Chemical Division and the Biotech Division.

 

Pharma Division

 

The Pharma Division’s sales for the second quarter of 2006 were $1.57 million, accounting for 11% of the total sales of the Company. Comparatively, the Pharma division’s sales were $0.91 million for the same period in 2005, contributing 14% of the total sales of the Company. The Pharma Division’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.65 million, accounting for 10% of the total sales of the Company. Comparatively, the Pharma division’s sales were $1.76 million for the same period in 2005, contributing 13% of the total sales of the Company. The increase in revenues of the Pharma division was mainly due to the increase in sales quantity as the Company was using both direct and indirect sales channels to sell the products during the quarter.

 

The Pharma Division’s gross margin for the second quarter of 2006 and the first six months of 2006 were -14.7% and -9.55% respectively compared to a 24.9% and 22.16% gross margins for the second quarter of 2005 and the first six months of 2005. The decrease in the gross margins was due to the lowering of selling prices.

Chemical Division

 

The Chemical Division’s sales for the second quarter of 2006 were $11.92 million, representing a 144% increase from the sales of $4.88 million during the same period in 2005. Chemical Division sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $23.40 million, compared to $10.58 million for the comparative period in 2005. The increase is due to the continued increase in sales of 7-ACA in both Chinese and international markets and Clavulanic Acid in the international market.

 

The Chemical Division’s gross margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 20%. The gross margin for the division increased from 4% in the comparative period due to the significant increase in production level especially for 7-ACA during the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. The Chemical Division’s gross margin for the first half of 2006 was 20% compared to 2% in the comparative period. The increase in gross margin reflected the lowering of production cost as the production level continued to increase.

Biotech Division

 

The Biotech Division’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.40 million or 3% of sales compared to $0.78 million, or 12% of sales, for the comparative period.

 

 

 

 

The Biotech Division’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1 million or 4% of sales compared to $1.59 million, or 11% of sales, for the comparative period. The decrease was due to the Company not having any international sales during the period as the new production facilities in Datong have not yet received international orders outside of China.

 

The Biotech Division’s gross margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 49% compared to 75% for the comparative three-month period. The Biotech Division’s gross margin for the first half of 2006 was 63% compared to 79% in the comparative period in 2005. The gross margin for the division for the first half of 2006 was lower than the same period in 2005 because of the initially higher cost structure for a new EPO production facility in 2006 and a lower selling price than in 2005.

 

Other Income (expense). During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $0.93 million of Other expense compared to $0.29 in the comparative period. In both periods the majority of the expenses are related to interest expense.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $0.36 million of Other Expense. This amount primarily consisted of interest expense of $1.84 million which was offset, in part, by a $1 million gain on the sale of the European EPO cell line development. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Dragon disposed of the European EPO cell line, and all applicable obligations relating, thereto, being developed for Dragon to enter the European market. The European EPO cell line was sold to AS Biotech AG, a Swiss company controlled by Dr. Alexander Wick, a Director of Dragon who was also Dragon’s President prior to the transaction. The European EPO cell line had a carrying value of $0 and was sold for $1 million and the assumption of all obligations under the agreement. In addition, during the period, the Company received $0.47 million in unconditional and non-refundable Government grants in China.

 

Expenses. Total operating expenses were $2.22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.67 million for the same period in 2005. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the major category of operating expenses was General and Administration expenses which included $0.42 million for salaries, compensation and benefits (of which $0.09 was non-cash stock compensation as a result of stock options granted in the prior year), $0.10 million for travel expenses, bad debts expense of $0.08 and $0.07 million for rent compared to $0.35 million for salaries, compensation and benefits and $0.11 million for travel expenses for the three months of 2005. Operating expenses also included selling expense of $0.62 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.24 million. The increase in operating expenses of $0.55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period for the prior year was mainly due to the increase in accounting and audit expenses and the additional overhead costs associated with the increase in production and sales in the Chemical Division.

 

Total operating expenses were $4.63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $3.01 million for the same period in 2005. The major category of operating expenses was General and Administration expenses which included $0.98 million for salaries, compensation and benefits (of which $0.18 was non-cash stock compensation as a result of stock options granted in the prior year), $0.23 million for travel expenses, bad debts expense of $0.11 and $0.12 million for rent compared to $0.69 million for salaries, compensation and benefits and $0.21 million for travel expenses for the first six months of 2005. Operating expenses also

 

 

 

 

included selling expense of $0.99 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.38 million. The increase in operating expenses of $1.62 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period for the prior year reflects the increase in accounting and audit expenses and the additional overhead costs associated with the increase in production and sales in the Chemical Division.

 

Net Income/Loss. The Company had a net loss of $320,997 for the three month ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $3,340 for the same period in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had a net income of $0.77 million compared to net income of $1.24 million for the same period in 2005. Included in net income for the first six months of 2006 is other income of $1.47 million from the gain on the sale of the European EPO cell line development and the receipt of a Government grant in China. Shanxi Weiqida is currently subject to income tax at an incentive tax rate, at half of the normal tax rate, for a period of three years commencing in 2005.

 

Basic Net Income Per Share. The Company’s net income per share has been computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the same period. Net loss per share for the 3 months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was ($0.01) and ($0.00) respectively. Net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.01 and $0.02 respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2006, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 62,878,004 while that of the first six months of 2005 was 61,659,706. . The outstanding common stock options have no significant dilutive effect on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had current liabilities of $58.45 million and current assets of $34.46 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $0.96 million and accounts receivables of $5.51 million. The excess of current liabilities over current assets is mainly due to the Company financing operations through bank loans and payables and investment in the new EPO and Freeze-dry Injectable workshops.

 

The Company has developed and is implementing a plan to decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will allow the Company to continue operations.

 

To meet these objectives, the Company plans to seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. The Company has also significantly increased production levels to generate additional cash flow under contracted supply agreements. In addition, the Company intends to continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they become due, as has been done in the past. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds through private placements or if the Company can renegotiate and extend the loans. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities. Management believes that actions presently taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time.

As of June 30, 2006, Dragon had outstanding short-term loans (less than one year term) totaling $19.18 million. The Company believes that it will be successful in renegotiating the loans due, including the $1.87 million loan with the original maturity date of April 2006, based on the assumption that the Company has enhanced its ability to generate additional cash flow from its operation since the loans were originally entered into, even though there is no assurance of renewing the loans. Since then, the Company's Chemical Division commenced production and began generating revenues and cash flow. Further, it entered into a three-year long term supply contract with Aurobindo Biopharma to supply specified amounts of Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA produced from its Chemical Division.

Dragon has long-term loans payables of $0.21 million due December 3l, 2007, in addition to long-term account payables of $7.19 million which are due to be paid April 2007 through December 2008.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Dragon financed its operations, development of its new EPO and freeze-dry injectable facilities, and increased production level at its Chemical Division through operating revenues, accounts payables and short-term loans.  The Company had anticipated that it would increase its production level through an equity financing, however, the anticipated financing has taken longer than expected.
