NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION



(A) Basis of presentation and accounting policies



The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. They include the accounts of Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc., which is incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida, United States, and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.



The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $36.6 million as at June 30, 2009. 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 as discussed below.



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 which is expected to generate additional cash flow. 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 additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to renegotiate and extend the loans. If adequate funds are not available or notavailable on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to renegotiate 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. 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.



(B) Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (FSP): (i) FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition of Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), (ii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4), which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to modify the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, change the existing impairment model, and modify the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these Staff Positions, but the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). The Statements objective is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Entities are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.



In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through July1, 2009 and August 12, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141R if and when a future acquisition occurs.



Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted, on a prospective basis, SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) as amended by FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (FSP FAS 157-1) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2).  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies prospectively to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude from the scope of SFAS 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. FSP FAS 157-2 amends SFAS 157 to defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."  SFAS No. 161 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  To meet those objectives, SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

|NOTE 14
EARNINGS PER SHARE



Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Basic EPS share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive stock options were exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period, and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $14,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 ($27,000 and $102,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008) related to stock options granted to directors and employees, which amounts are included in general and administrative expenses. The estimated fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility  81.51 %; risk-free rate  4.4%; expected average life of the options  3 years; dividend yield  0%. 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. The estimated fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.41 per share. The fair value of the options is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.



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 common shares that were in-the-money. The aggregate intrinsic value of the Company's outstanding stock options as at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $188,000 and $1,161,000, respectively.  The estimated fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $96,000 and $96,000 respectively.  The estimated fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $106,000 and $145,000 respectively. There is approximately $5,000 of unrecognized compensation expense as of June 30, 2009 that is expected to be recognized over the next 7 months.

The decrease in sales from the Cephalosporin Division is due in part by the fact that intermediate and API customers in China purchased the Companys products in advance in anticipation of the Beijing Olympics and in anticipation of the temporary decrease in availability of products due to the Companys major overhaul of certain of its facilities during the third quarter of 2008 which led to higher sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 comparatively.

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 exchange 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.  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. 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 June 30, 2009, the Company had current liabilities of $84.05 million as follows:

| | Total Current Liabilities           | $ | 84.05 million



As of June 30,2009, the Company had outstanding short-term loans (less than one year term) totaling $36.83 million.

Long-term Liabilities:



At June 30, 2009, the Company had long-term loan payable of $5.26 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company financed its operations and increased production level at its Penicillin and Cephalosporin Divisions through operating revenues, accounts payables and short-term loans.
