Hangzhou Aida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Aida”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Earjoy Group Limited, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aida Pharmaceutical, Inc.

Hangzhou Aida was a guarantor to Nanwang Information Industry Group Co., Ltd. (“Nanwang”) for certain bank loans and Nanwang was, in turn, a guarantor to Hangzhou Aida for some of its loans. The total amount of the mutual guarantee between Hangzhou Aida and Nanwang was RMB50 million (approximately, US$7,152,678 based on an exchange rate of 1US$ = RMB6.99).

Because Nanwang over-invested in real estate, Nanwang defaulted on two of its loans and as guarantor for the loans, Hangzhou Aida had to repay the loan amounting to RMB49,123,913.65 (approximately, US$7,027,340) to Nanwang’s lenders under the current “tight” monetary policy of the People’s Bank of China.

Hangzhou Aida, in turn, commenced a litigation proceeding against Nanwang in the middle level court of Hangzhou, the People’s Republic of China on April 18, 2008 to recover the guaranteed loan amount that Hangzhou Aida had paid. The litigation application has been accepted by the Hangzhou middle level court. Hangzhou Aida had also requested that the court sequester Nanwang’s assets and such order was granted by the court. The sequestered assets include a building, some land use rights and 80% shareholding interest in Fengyuan Building Co.,Ltd.
