The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. See also Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012.
We are a high-tech enterprise engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and distribution of botanical products, bio-pharmaceutical products, and traditional Chinese medicines, or TCM, in the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China"). We have three "Good Manufacturing Practice" or GMP certified production facilities - Ah City Natural and Biopharmaceutical plant, Dongfanghong pharmaceutical plant and Qingyang natural extraction plant - capable of producing 18 dosage forms and over 200 different products. Our products include but are not limited to (i) botanical anti-depression and nerve-regulation products, (ii) biopharmaceutical products, and (iii) botanical antibiotic and traditional over-the-counter ("OTC") Chinese medicines. Botanical anti-depression and nerve-regulation products account for approximately 70% of our revenues and we intend to strengthen our development in this area. We have entered into sales agency agreements with our sales agents. Through our sales agent, we have sold our products to over 3,000 distributors and over 70 sales centers across 24 provinces in the PRC.
Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder. On December 13, 2011, the Company issued a press release to announce that we have successfully developed a new Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder and was awarded the Scientific and Technological Achievements Appraisal Certificate by the Science and Technology Bureau of Heilongjiang Province. The Siberian Ginseng (Acanthopanax) Polysaccharide Extract Powder is an all-natural substance extracted from the stem of Siberian Ginseng utilizing proprietary extraction technology developed by the China Botanic research team. The Company's Extract Powder technology was developed using its patented process of separating and extracting effective parts of the Siberian Ginseng (the PRC Patent Number: ZL200710301682X), which was granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China in December 2010. According to pharmacological research, Siberian Ginseng Extract Powder contains strong immunogenic and antitumor properties with minimal side effects. Our management estimates a significant market potential for Extract Powder based products, such as Siberian Ginseng Polysaccharide Extract Powder tablets and capsules.
Ah City Phase Two project. We have finished the architectural design of Ah City Phase Two project and are in the process of obtaining approval from relevant government authorities. We expect to finish all the procedures by April 2012 and will start the construction once we receive approval documents. As of April 30, 2013, we have incurred a total of $1,964,277 of construction-in-progress. The Ah City Phase Two project is expected to be completed in the year of 2013.
As a recipient of the PRC's State High-Tech Enterprise certificate, Harbin Renhuang Pharmaceutical Co. LTD ("CBP China") is eligible for a number of national and local government support programs, including preferential tax treatment. In order to receive these benefits CBP China must, on an annual basis, pass a High-Tech Enterprise assessment. CBP China passed this assessment in February 2012 and, as a result, pays a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% in the year of 2012 compared with statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25%.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among us and our subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Certain amounts included in or affecting our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring us to make certain assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts we report for assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We routinely evaluate these estimates, utilizing historical experience, consulting with experts and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. Any effects on our business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.
We believe that certain accounting policies are of more significance in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement preparation process than others, which policies are discussed below. See also Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Estimates of allowances for bad debts - We must periodically review our trade and other receivables to determine if all are collectible or whether an allowance is required for possible uncollectible balances.
Estimate of the useful lives of property and equipment - We must estimate the useful lives and proper salvage values of our property and equipment. We must also review property and equipment for possible impairment.
Estimate of the useful lives of intangible assets - We must estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets. We must also review intangible assets for possible impairment.
Inventory - We must determine whether we have any obsolete or impaired inventory.
Revenue recognition - Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are shipped to customers and the title has passed.
Please refer to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing for a more complete listing of all of our significant accounting policies.
