NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND 2006

(UNAUDITED) Expressed in US Dollars

NOTE 1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

(A) The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, at March 31, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $16,535,113 as at March 31, 2007, however, the Company has developed and is implementing a plan to decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will allow the Company to continue operations.

The Company plans to seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business. The Company has also significantly increased production levels to generate additional cash flow under contracted supply agreements. In addition, the Company intends to continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they become due, as has been done in the past. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to negotiate and extend the loans. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to negotiate or extend its loans, the Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities. Management believes that actions presently taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the 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 results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(B) In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory 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 three months ended March 31, 2007.

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". 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 adoption of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the current period.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company currently is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its’ consolidated financial position or results of operation.

The Company signed two agreements on June 29, 2006 agreeing (1) to dispose part of its formulation business (“Sales of Formulation Business”) and (2) to deliver international registration documentation and services on a related product (“Registration Documentation”), to an unaffiliated party to the Company.

The Sales of Formulation Business became effective on July 1, 2006. According to the agreement, the buyer will not assume or have any responsibility for any obligation or liability in connection with any of the assets purchased arising prior to the completion of delivery of the assets purchased, including, any environmental liabilities or contamination which arise or result, directly or indirectly, from operation and use of any assets purchased. The proceeds for this agreement was $ 13.32 million comprising $8.20 million in cash and the assumption of $5.12 million in long-term liabilities.

With the Registration Documentation agreement, the Company agreed to provide certain international registration documentation and assistance to complete the registration.

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 December 31, 2006 and 2005 there was no intrinsic value to the Company’s stock options exercisable or outstanding as none of the options were in-the-money. The estimated fair value of stock options vested during the period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $21,455 and $64,619. There is approximately $21,455 of unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2007 that is expected to be recognized over of the next three months.

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. The Company estimated a 0% forfeiture rate by considering the historical employee turnover rates and expectations about the future, and will subsequently adjust compensation cost for differences between expectations and actual experience. This resulted in $90,518 relating to general and administrative expenses being charged to income during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The company continued to use the straight-line amortization method to recognize compensation expense.

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 three months ended March 31, 2007 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 consolidated 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, 2006.

General

We are a diversified pharmaceutical company with three key business units consisting of a Chemical Division for manufacturing bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and pharmaceutical intermediates, a Pharma Division for manufacturing formulated generic drugs with a focus on Cephalosporin antibiotics and freeze-dry injectables, and a Biotech Division for manufacturing biologics, currently Erythropoietin or EPO.

Dragon currently has four production facilities in Datong, China, including three GMP production facilities certified by Chinese State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA"): one pharmaceutical facility with a capacity of producing freeze-dry injectables, one biotech facility producing Erythropoietin injectables and one chemical facility producing bulk Clavulanic Acid. The fourth facility produces bulk 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics by a fermentation process. 7-ACA is an intermediate and no GMP is required for the production facility. The Company now has 47 drugs approved by the Chinese SFDA of which the Pharma division products are sold only in the Chinese markets while products from the Chemical and Biotech divisions are sold in both Chinese and selected international markets.

The Company completed the acquisition of Oriental Wave Holding Ltd. ("Oriental Wave") on January 12, 2005 which transformed us from a single product company into a diversified pharmaceutical company with three key business units consisting of a Biotech Division for biotech products, a Chemical Division for bulk pharmaceutical intermediate and API and a Pharma Division for formulated generic drugs.

The Company’s headquarters, located in Vancouver, British Columbia accommodates corporate functions such as financial reporting, SEC compliance, corporate finance, investor relations, and regulatory affairs for international product approval. The Company also has a corporate office in Beijing, China to manage its businesses in China including strategy formulation in the Chinese market, product development, production and sales and marketing management.

Business Segments

The Company operates three key business units consisting of a Chemical Division for bulk pharmaceutical API and intermediate such as Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA, a Pharma Division for formulated drugs with a focus of Cephalosporin antibiotics and freeze-dry injectables, and a Biotech Division for biologics products, currently Erythropoietin or EPO.

Chemical Division

The Chemical Division’s facilities are located on Datong Gongnong Road, Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. The Chemical Division produces bulk pharmaceutical intermediates and API to sell to other pharmaceutical companies for further processing and formulation into finished products. The Chemical Division manages the production of Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA for both Chinese and international markets. The designed production capacity for Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA were 30 tons and 400 tons respectively. After the Company’s investment in the process optimization and technology improvement, the current production capacity reaches 50 tons and 600 tons for Clavulanic acid and 7-ACA respectively. The production for Clavulanic acid was started in January 2004 and the production of 7-ACA was started in July 2004.

One of the key products in Chemical Division is Clavulanic acid, a drug that combines with antibiotics increase the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Another key product in the Chemical Division is 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. Dragon’s 600-ton production facility of 7-ACA positions it as one of the main producers of this product in the world. The export of 7-ACA to India commenced in 2004 and the Company currently has a target to sell 50% of its 7-ACA production to the Indian market. The Chemical Division operates its business strategies to upgrade its technology in order to improve yields and lower production cost, to develop 7-ACA and Clavulanic acid downstream bulk products, and to apply for approvals in the United States and European Union to enter into European and North American markets.

Pharma Division

The Company owns 36 drug approvals from the SFDA for the Pharma Division, mostly Cephalosporin powder for injection and API. With this more focused product combination, the Company is able to take advantage of being one of the significant producers of 7-ACA, an intermediate for Cephalosporin antibiotics. The Company uses qualified contract manufacturers to produce the Cephalosporin powder for injection and key sales agents and distributors to sell the formulation products in the Chinese market. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize excess production capacity of other formulation producers without having to commit huge capital expenditure in its own production facility.

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

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 allows the Company to capitalize on the existing production infrastructure and the efficiency of unified operational management. In the new facility, the capacity for bulk EPO doubled to 120 grams and the capacity for sterile vialing tripled to 5 million vials. The sole product of the Biotech Division is Erythropoietin or EPO, an injectable that stimulates red blood cell development. Dragon’s Biotech Division develops, manufactures and markets generic EPO in China and developing countries as the current core markets. Currently, Dragon’s EPO is sold only in countries where there is no patent protection. Previously, Dragon was preparing to enter the European market with a new EPO product under development in Austria. However, in January 2006, the Company sold the development contract with the Austrian partner to a related party for $1 million cash and assumption of all commitments under the contract.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon 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, 2006. 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”

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. The Company estimated a 0% forfeiture rate by considering the historical employee turnover rates and expectations about the future, and will subsequently adjust compensation cost for differences between expectations and actual experience. This resulted in $90,518 relating to general and administrative expenses being charged to income during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is a decrease in the income from operations, income before income taxes and net income of $21,455. 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 three months ended March 31, 2006.

FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1 2007. The adoption of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the current period.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

Revenues.

Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased 32% to $17.33 million from $13.15 million for the same period in 2006. $11.03 million or approximately 64% of the sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were generated from the sales of products in the Chinese market, and the remaining $6.30 million or approximately 36% were generated from the sales of products in the international markets (outside of China). 55% of the sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were generated from the sale of products in the Chinese market while the remaining 45% of the sales were generated in the international market outside of China. In the quarter ended March 31, 2007, $1.87 million or approximately 11% of the sales were from the Pharma Division, $15.03 million or 87% of sales were from the Chemical Division, and $0.43 million or 2% of sales were from the Biotech Division. For the same period in 2006, 8% of sales were from the Pharma Division, 87% of sales were from the Chemical Division, and 5% of sales were from the Biotech Division. The increase in sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to increase in sales from the Chemical and Pharma Division with 31% and 73% growth rate, respectively.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $13.27 million compared to $10.53 million for the same period of 2006. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of products. The increase in the cost of sales was mainly due to the increase in production and sales of products from the Chemical and Pharma Divisions. Gross profit and gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $4.06 million and 23.44% compared to $2.63 million and 19.99% for the same period of 2006. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to an improved margin of the Chemical Division as a result of an increase in production level and hence, better utilization of the production facilities.

Divisional Revenues and Gross Margin Analysis

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

Chemical Division

The Chemical Division’s revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $15.03 million, representing a 31% increase from the revenues of $11.48 million during the same period in 2006. The increase is mainly due to the increase in sales quantities from the China market which experienced a 61% increase as compared to the same period in 2006.

The Chemical Division’s gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was 25.12% compared to 19.34% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in gross margin reflected the lowering of per unit production costs as the production level continued to increase.

Pharma Division

The Pharma Division’s revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $1.87 million, accounting for 11% of the total revenues of the Company. Comparatively, Pharma Division’s revenues were $1.08 million for the same period in 2006, contributing 8% of the total revenues of the Company. The 73% increase in revenues of the Pharma division during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 was mainly due to the continued growth in terms of sales quantity in the Chinese market.

The overall gross margin for the Pharma Division for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was -1.41% as compared to -2.03% for the same period of 2006. The increase in the gross margins was due to the improvement of per unit production costs.

Biotech Division

The Biotech Division’s revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $0.43 million representing 2% of the Company’s revenues for the year. Comparatively, Biotech Division’s revenues were $0.60 million for the same period in 2006, contributing 5% of the total revenues of the Company. Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was at 73.72% as compared to 72.35% for the same period of 2006. The decrease in revenues was due to the decrease in selling prices, while the slight increase in gross margin was due to the lowering of per unit production costs.

Expenses.

Total operating expenses were $2.27 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The major category of operating expenses was general and administration expenses of $1.48 million, selling expense of $0.48 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.30 million. Total operating expenses were $2.43 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 with the major expenses being general and administration expenses of $1.31 million, selling expense of $0.87 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.24 million. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the general and administration expenses included $0.37 million for salaries, compensation and benefits, $0.23 million for accounting and auditing, $0.20 million for technology improvement expense, $0.11 million for travel expenses, $0.09 million for consulting fees, $0.02 million for non-cash stock-based compensation, compared to $0.55 million for salaries, compensation and benefits, $0.05 million for accounting and auditing, and $0.13 million for travel expenses, $0.11 million for consulting fees, and $0.19 million for office and miscellaneous for the same period in 2006.

The decrease in operating expenses of $0.16 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period for the prior year was mainly due to a decrease of $0.39 million selling expenses which were offset by an increase of $0.17 million in general and administration expenses and $0.06 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Other Income / Expense During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a net other expense of $0.78 million which represented primarily interest expense, including $0.47 million cash interest expense and $0.30 million non-cash accreted interest expense on the long term payable. The other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $0.57 million which was mainly due to the sale of the European EPO project for $1 million.

Income from Continuing Operations As a result of above, Dragon has an income from continuing operations of $0.85 million for the first quarter of 2007, representing a 21% increase as compared to $0.70 million for the same period in 2006.

Net Income. Dragon had a net income of $0.85 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to a net income of $1.09 million for the same period in 2006 which included a $0.39 million after-tax income from discontinued operations.

Comprehensive Income. Dragon had foreign currency translation income of $0.37 million and $0.13 million as other comprehensive income for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The foreign currency translation income results from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollar. The increase reflects the appreciation of the RMB relative to the United States dollar.

Basic Net Income per Share. Dragon’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 income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.01 per share and $0.02 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 62,878,004 during quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The outstanding common stock options have no significant dilutive effect on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Dividends of the PRC subsidiary may only be distributed after allowance has been made for i) recovery of losses, if any; ii) appropriations to the reserve fund; iii) appropriations to the staff welfare fund; and iv) appropriations to an enterprise expansion fund if determined by the Board of Directors. Under current regulation, appropriations to the reserve fund should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of PRC subsidiary’s registered capital; appropriations to the staff welfare fund are at a percentage, as determined by the Board of Directors, of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP; appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The reserve fund and enterprise expansion fund are recorded as part of stockholders’ equity but are not available for distribution to shareholders other than in liquidation; while the staff welfare fund is recorded as a liability and is not for distribution to shareholders. As at March 31, 2007, the Company’s reserve fund is $2.69 million, 11.14% of the Company’s registered capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2007, Dragon had current liabilities of $38.74 million and current assets of $22.20 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1.19 million and accounts receivable of $6.00 million. The working capital deficiency is mainly due to the fact that some long-term accounts payable and bank loans will become due within a year and therefore transferred from long-term liabilities to short-term liabilities.

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

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

As of March 31, 2007, Dragon had current liabilities of $38,736,410 as follows:


Accounts Payable		$ 5,802,797
Other Payables and Accrued Expenses		$14,841,105
Loans Payable-Short Term:
RMB 4.35 million loan payable to a bank, interest rate of 9.486% per annum, guaranteed by an unrelated third party, due April 2007	561,950

RMB 20 million loan payable to a bank, interest rate of 7.956% per annum, collateralized by property and equipment with a net book value of $12,795,503, due January 2008	2,583,679
RMB 25 million loan payable to a bank, interest rate of 6.732% per annum, collateralized by land use right and buildings with a net book value of $7,466,871, due February 2008	3,229,599
RMB 1.7 million loan payable to a company, non-interest bearing and uncollateralized, due December 2007	223,041
Loans Payable – Short Term Subtotal		$16,155,297
Note Payable		$1,937,211
Total Current Liabilities		$38,736,410

The accounts payable were incurred as part of the normal course of business of Dragon while other payables and accrued expenses were incurred as part of the investment in establishing the Chemical Division in 2004 and investment in the EPO workshop and Freeze-dry Injectable workshop during 2005.

As of March 31, 2007, Dragon had outstanding short-term loans (less than one year term) and note payable totaling $18.09 million. Dragon believes that it will be successful in the renegotiating loans due based on the assumption that the Company has enhanced its ability to generate additional cash flow from its operation since the loans were originally entered into, even though there is no assurance of renewing the loans.

Long-term Liabilities:

As of March 31, 2007, Dragon had long-term liabilities of $9,142,494 as follows:


	Long-term accounts payable		$2,037,377
	Loan Payable – Long Term:
	RMB 55 million loan payable to a bank, interest rate of 8.19% per annum, collateralized by land use right and buildings with a net book value of $9,189,072, due September 2008		7,105,117
	Total Long-term Liabilities		$9,142,494

As of March 31, 2007, Dragon had long-term loans payables (one to two years) totaling approximately $7.11 million due September 2008, in addition to long-term accounts payable of $2.04 million which will become due during 2008. The long-term accounts payable, which are non-interest bearing, have been discounted at 6.5% and are carried in the financial statements at $3.62 million.

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, Dragon financed its operations and increased production level at its Chemical Division through operating revenues, accounts payables and short-term loans. Dragon intends to seek additional funding through equity financing to improve its financial position, which may include conversion of certain payables to certain vendors of Shanxi Weiqida into Dragon common stock.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Substantially all of our business is transacted in currencies other than the United States dollar. Our functional currency is the United States dollar. However, the functional currency of certain subsidiaries is their local currencies. As a result, we are subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure to manage our foreign currency fluctuation risk.

We have approximately $7.1 million in long-term debt due September 2008. In the event that we refinance or seek renewal of this loan, we may be subject to interest rate risk. Management does not believe that inflation has had or will have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. The Company is not exposed to any market risk involving activities in derivative commodity instruments.
