ch 6 are currently in operation and collecting approximately 250 tons of
plasma supply per year. Upon completion of the acquisition, China Biologic
plans to re-open the additional plasma collection station in 2009. China
Biologic intends to employ more advanced collection techniques at these
stations, improving the Company's yields and generating additional plasma
supply. China Biologic chose to target Guizhou Province, which has
historically produced the highest volumes of plasma collection in China,
due to a higher proportion of its population willing to engage in the
collection process. Guizhou Province has a total of 19 plasma collection
stations in operation, collecting approximately 1200 tons of plasma supply
every year.
"The strict regulatory environment has limited the number of
plasma-based producers in the industry and rising demand for improved
healthcare has created a shortage of plasma-based products," Mr. Zhao
further commented. "Therefore, through the acquisition of Qianfeng, we
expect that we will increase our market share in China and enhance our
competitiveness."
The Company will acquire the 90% interest in Dalin for approximately
$28.5 million, to be paid in four installments. The Company ended the June
quarter with approximately $8.8 million of cash and no debt. Management
believes a portion of the acquisition price will be paid for via an
anticipated bank loan.
