ITEM 1.           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Business Development

GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (Formerly Laredo Investment Corp.) was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 1996. GFR Pharmaceuticals,

Nutritional  supplements  are being  increasingly  recognized by the medical and
scientific communities as an integral component of a healthy lifestyle.  Much of
the growth in this industry is driven by six key factors:

         o        Positive  publicity - For several years,  medical journals and
                  news  reports  have  widely and  consistently  publicized  the
                  positive  effects of  nutritional  supplements.  Many of these
                  reports focus on the correlation  between  consumed  nutrients
                  and the reduced  incidence of certain  diseases.  As a result,
                  the nutritional  supplement  industry has experienced  greater
                  acceptance and popularity.

         o        Increased research - The more the scientific  community learns
                  about the human body, more is proved that an individual's diet
                  and health are  undoubtedly  connected.  Government  agencies,
                  universities,  and  private  companies  are  increasing  their
                  sponsorship of research  assessing the benefits of nutritional
                  supplements and herbs.

         o        Favorable  regulatory  environment - The US Dietary Supplement
                  Health and Education  Act (DSHEA)  created a set of guidelines
                  specific  to  the  supplement   industry  and   established  a
                  regulatory  environment  which  allows  responsible  nutrition
                  companies to thrive and allows the industry to regulate itself
                  with  supervision by the FDA.  Health Canada has followed suit
                  and  defined   Good   Manufacturing   Practices,   with  which
                  compliance in the industry is voluntary.

         o        Mass market distribution - Nutritional supplements,  including
                  all-natural  products,   vitamins,  minerals  and  herbs,  are
                  increasingly  sold in mass volume retail  stores.  Due to this
                  new market channel,  millions of shoppers are exposed to these
                  products as they are introduced into the mainstream.

         o        Ageing of the  population - The largest  demographic  group in
                  the history of North America is now turning 50 years old. Over
                  the  next  15  years,  approximately  80  million  more  "baby
                  boomers" will join this group of individuals who are concerned
                  with preserving their health and fitness,  directly increasing
                  the demand for nutritional supplements.

         o        Trend  toward   preventative  care  -  The  collective  health
                  consciousness  of the population  that began over 20 years ago
                  is gaining  momentum  and,  along with  regular  exercise,  it
                  embraces nutritional supplements.

According to the Nutrition Business Journal,  the US nutrition  industry,  which
includes natural foods, dietary supplements, and natural personal care products,
has grown  14-16%  annually  over the past two years and is  expected to sustain
double digit growth for the near future.  The Nutrition  Business Journal states
that the US nutrition  industry  generated  $28.8  billion of consumer  sales in
2002. Canadian sales tend to approximate 10% of the US market.

Principal  Products:  GFR  Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.  currently  manufactures  300
different products in capsule,  tablet, powder, and liquid form. GFR specializes
in production of:

         -        Vitamin and mineral formulations
         -        Indication and herbal formulas (nutritional and herbal)
         -        Nutritional herbal formulas for women
         -        Nutritional herbal formulas for men
         -        "Boomer nutrition" - nutritional and herbal formulas for 50+
         -        Sports nutrition products
         -        Family fitness products
         -        Weight loss and diet products
         -        Soy and whey protein shakes
         -        Green food powders
         -        Daily nutrient packets

Markets:  Established  market  channels  for  nutritional  products  within  the
industry  include  distribution  through health food retail stores,  mass market
retail through department and grocery stores, multi-level marketing, mail order,
health practitioners, and the Internet.

Currently, GFR Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. manufactures nutritional supplements under
private label contracts with wholesale  distributors.  During 2004 and 2003, one
private label customer has comprised  approximately 49% and 58%, respectively of
GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s sales.

GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.'s  primary  goal is to  achieve  a level  of  annual
revenues in excess of $8.0 million by the fiscal year ended 2005  resulting from
expanded  marketing efforts and vertical  integration  through  acquisitions and
expansion  into  new  markets.  GFR   Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.  is  also  pursing
opportunities to market direct sales to consumers through the Internet.

Competition:  The  main  competitors  in the  Canadian  natural  health  product
industry are privately  owned  corporations.  A couple of larger  companies that
manufacture their products for retail distribution are Jamieson Laboratories and
Natural  Factors.  There  are also many  companies  which  manufacture  only for
private  label  sales.  Many  smaller  manufacturers  have their  products  sold
strictly in specialty health food and nutrition stores.

Natural health product manufacturing has significant cost barriers for new start
up companies.  Start up costs include set up of manufacturing facilities through
purchase of equipment,  acquiring skilled labor and research and  implementation
of processes acceptable to government standards.

Regulation:  In both the US and Canada,  the natural health products industry is
self  regulating.  In Canada,  products are not required to be approved prior to
introduction to the market, however Health Canada has defined Good Manufacturing
Practices, with which compliance is voluntary.  Health Canada has indicated that
stricter  regulations  for  natural  health  products  will be enacted in future
years.

In 1996,  US Congress  enacted the Dietary  Supplement  Health and Education Act
(DSHEA) which

                                        5

<PAGE>



included a set of guidelines specific to the supplement industry and established
a self regulatory environment for the industry.

Employees:  GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  currently has 55  employees.  Executive
management and office administration  personnel are comprised of 17 individuals.
Operations personnel is made up of 38 individuals, including the Quality Control
Director and Production  Manager.  Future employees will be hired as dictated by
increases in business volume.


ITEM 2.           DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.'s operations are located in a building that is owned
by a major  shareholder.  The  lease  agreement  is for a two year  term  ending
December  31,  2005.  Under the terms of the lease  agreement,  the monthly rent
charge is approximately $4,000 ($5,000 Canadian), and GFR Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.
is responsible for paying the property taxes,  utility charges, and any costs of
repair and  maintenance.  Any repairs and  maintenance  expenses paid for by the
landlords  are required to be reimbursed  by GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. at cost
plus  15%.  All  other  terms  are  consistent  with  those  standard  to  lease
agreements.

Both  GFR  Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.'s  administration  office  and  manufacturing
operations  are located in the same  premises.  The total square  footage of the
building is 10,000. The area used by manufacturing  currently comprises 3,625 of
that total. In management's  opinion,  the space leased is sufficient to support
operational growth for the foreseeable future. Currently, production is only run
on one shift per day for five days each week. Production shifts can be increased
to a  maximum  of three  shifts  per day for  seven  days each week and still be
accommodated  within the  current  space.  The only  potential  requirement  for
additional  space  could  arise due to stock  held on hand as  business  volumes
increase.

During  2002,  GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  entered into a lease  agreement  for
warehouse  space.  The  lease  is  month to month  with a six  month  notice  of
termination  clause.  Under the terms of the lease  agreement,  the monthly rent
charge is approximately $4,600 ($5,500 Canadian).

manufacture,  on an  as-ordered  basis,  private  label  products  that  Prairie

Operating margins in 2004 were 28.20% of sales revenue,  1.82% higher than 2003.
Cost of  Sales  includes  the  cost  of raw  materials  used  in  manufacturing,
production  labor  costs  and an  applicable  share of  overhead  expenses.  The
increase in margin in 2004 can be attributed  to a decrease in machine  downtime
as compared to 2003. General and administrative expenses were 25.43% of sales in
2004,  7.79%  higher than 2003.  The increase in expense was due to increases in
staffing and an increase in marketing and advertising expenditure.

GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. anticipates realizing economies of scale as production
volumes increase.  Selling and marketing  expenses  increased during 2004 due to
GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s plan to expand marketing efforts.

Effect of Inflation

GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. does not  anticipate any financial  impact,  whether
beneficial or detrimental, as a result of inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical  accounting policies are those which we believe require significant
judgements,  often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently  uncertain.  A discussion of our critical accounting
policies is set forth in the Notes to our Financial  Statements included as part
of this Report.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), CONSOLIDATION
OF VARIABLE  INTEREST  ENTITIES,  which addresses the  consolidation of business
enterprises  (variable  interest  entities),  to which  the usual  condition  of
consolidation, a controlling financial interest, does not apply. FIN 46 requires
an entity to assess its business relationships to determine if they are variable
interest  entities.  As defined in FIN 46, variable  interests are  contractual,
ownership  or other  interests  in an entity  that  change  with  changes in the
entity's  net  asset  value.  Variable  interests  in an entity  may arise  from
financial   instruments,   service  contracts,   guarantees,   leases  or  other
arrangements  with the variable  interest  entity.  An entity that will absorb a
majority of the variable  interest entity's expected losses or expected residual
returns,  as defined in FIN 46, is  considered  the primary  beneficiary  of the
variable  interest  entity.  The primary  beneficiary  must include the variable
interest  entity's  assets,   liabilities  and  results  of  operations  in  its
consolidated  financial  statements.  FIN 46 is  immediately  effective  for all
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For variable interest
entities  created prior to this date, the  provisions of FIN 46 were  originally
required  to be  applied  no later than our first  quarter  of Fiscal  2004.  On
October 8, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff  Position (FSP) FIN 46-6,  EFFECTIVE
DATE OF FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 46, CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.
The FSP  provides a limited  deferral  (until  the end of our second  quarter of
2004) of the effective  date of FIN 46 for certain  interests of a public entity
in a variable  interest entity or a potential  variable interest entity. We will
continue  to  evaluate  FIN 46, but due to the  complex  nature of the  analysis
required  by FIN 46,  we have not  determined  the  impact  on our  consolidated
results of operations or financial position.

In April  2003,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,  AMENDMENT  OF  STATEMENT  133 ON
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments,  including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts,  and for hedging  activities under SFAS No. 133. In
particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an
initial net  investment  meets the  characteristic  of a  derivative  and when a
derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the
statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard for contracts  entered into or
modified  after  June 30,  2003.  The  adoption  of SFAS No.  149 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 150,  ACCOUNTING  FOR CERTAIN  FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH  CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. This Statement
requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and
have  characteristics  of  both  liabilities  and  equity  to be  classified  as
liabilities.  We adopted this standard for financial instruments entered into or
modified  after  May 31,  2003.  The  adoption  of SFAS  No.  150 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,  INVENTORY  COSTS - AN AMENDMENT
OF ARB NO. 43,  CHAPTER 4. This  Statement  amends the  guidance  in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, "Inventory  Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal  amounts
of  idle  facility  expense,   freight,  handling  costs,  and  wasted  material
(spoilage).  Paragraph 5 of ARB 43,  Chapter 4 previously  stated  that"...under
some  circumstances,  items such as idle facility expense,  excessive  spoilage,
double freight,  and rehandling costs maybe so abnormal as to require  treatment
as current  period  charges..."  This  Statement  requires  that those  items be
recognized  as  current-period  charges  regardless  of  whether  they  meet the
criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this Statement requires that allocation
of fixed production  overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after Jun 15, 2005. Management does
not  believe the  adoption of ths  Statement  will have any  immediate  material
impact on the Company.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 ( R ),  SHARE-BASED  PAYMENT,
which is an amendment to SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION.
This new standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation
transactions   using  Accounting   Principles  Board  ("APB")  Opinion  No.  25,
ACCOUNTING  FOR  STOCK  ISSUED  TO  EMPLOYEES,   and  generally   requires  such
transactions  to be  accounted  for  using a  fair-value  based  method  and the
resulting  cost  recognized  in our financial  statements.  This new standard is
effective  for awards that are  granted,  modified or settled in cash in interim
and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In addition, this new standard
will apply to unvested  options  granted  prior to the  effective  date. We will
adopt this new standard  effective  for the fourth fiscal  quarter of 2005,  and
have not yet  determined  what impact this  standard  will have on our financial
position or results of operations.

In December  2004,  the FASB issued  SFAS No.  152,  ACCOUNTING  FOR REAL ESTATE
TIME-SHARING  TRANSACTIONS,  which amends FASB statement No. 66,  Accounting for
Sales of Real Estate,  to  reference  the  financial  accounting  and  reporting
guidance  for real estate  time-sharing  transactions  that is provided in AICPA

                                       10

<PAGE>

Statement  of Position  (SOP) 04-2,  Accounting  for Real Estate  Time-  Sharing
Transactions.  This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67,  Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental  Operations of Real Estate Projects,  to state that the
guidance  for (a)  incidental  operations  and (b) costs  incurred  to sell real
estate  projects does not apply to real estate  time-sharing  transactions.  The
accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP04-2.
This Statement is effective for financial  statements for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005.  Management  believes the adoption of this  Statement  will
have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, EXCHANGE OF NONMONETARY  ASSETS.
This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The
guidance in APB Opinion NO. 29,  Accounting  for  Nonmonetary  Transactions,  is
based on the principle that  exchanges of nonmonetary  assets should be measured
based on the fair value of the assets  exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion,
however,  included certain  exceptions to that principle.  This Statement amends
Opinion 29 to  eliminate  the  exception  for  nonmonetary  exchanges of similar
productive  assets and  replaces it with a general  exception  for  exchanges of
nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange
has commercial  substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change  significantly  as a result of the exchange.  This Statement is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier
applications  is permitted for  nonmonetary  assets  exchanges  incurred  during
fiscal years  beginning  after the date of this statement is issued.  Management
believes the adoption of this  Statement  will have not impact on the  financial
statements fo the Company.

ITEM 8A.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established  disclosure  controls and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to the officers who certify the  Company's  financial  reports and to

Report on Form 10- KSB, the principal  executive officer and principal financial

15d-15(e)  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) are effective in ensuring

files  or  submits  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  is  recorded,
processed,  summarized  and reported  within the time  periods  specified in the
SEC's rules and forms.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

         The  Company's  board of  directors  does not have an "audit  committee
financial   expert,"  within  the  meaning  of  such  phrase  under   applicable
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  serving on its audit
committee.  The  board of  directors  believes  that all  members  of its  audit
committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that
one or more  members of the audit  committee  are  capable of (i)  understanding
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and financial statements, (ii)
assessing the general  application  of GAAP  principles  in connection  with our
accounting for estimates,  accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing and evaluating
our  financial   statements,   (iv)  understanding  our  internal  controls  and
procedures  for  financial  reporting;  and (v)  understanding  audit  committee
functions,  all of which are attributes of an audit committee  financial expert.
However,  the board of directors  believes that there is not any audit committee
member who has obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the
SEC's definition of "audit committee financial expert." Further, like many small
companies,  it is difficult  for the Company to attract and retain board members
who qualify as "audit  committee  financial  experts," and competition for these
individuals is significant.  The board believes that its current audit committee
is able to  fulfill  its  role  under  SEC  regulations  despite  not  having  a
designated "audit committee financial expert."

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(Formerly Laredo Investment Corp.)


         We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of GFR
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. and Subsidiaries (Formerly Laredo Investment Corp.) as of
December  31,  2004  and  2003,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of
operations,  cash  flows,  and  stockholders'  equity  for the two  years  ended
December 31, 2004.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance  with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance about whether the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GFR Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (Formerly Laredo Investment Corp.) as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years
ended  December 31, 2004 in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

                                                    Respectfully Submitted,

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         This summary of accounting policies for GFR  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. and
Subsidiaries  (Formerly  Laredo  Investment  Corp.)  is  presented  to assist in
understanding  the  Company's  financial  statements.  The  accounting  policies
conform to generally accepted  accounting  principles and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

         The Company was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Nevada on
December 18, 1996. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period
from December 18, 1996 to July 9, 1999 and was  considered  dormant.  On July 9,
1999,  the Company  obtained a Certificate  of renewal from the State of Nevada.
From July 9, 1999 to January 21, 2000, the Company was in the development stage.

         On January 21, 2000, Laredo entered into an Acquisition  Agreement with
GFR  Pharm,  Ltd.   (Formerly  GFR  Nutritionals,   Ltd.),  a  British  Columbia
corporation,  (GFR),  Richard Pierce and Lucretia  Schanfarber (the GFR Majority
Shareholders)  to acquire  their  shares  representing  100% of the  outstanding

Depreciation

         Fixed  assets  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  and  amortization  is
calculated  on a  straight-line  basis over the  estimated  useful  lives of the
assets as follows:


                     Asset                              Rate
------------------------------------------------  -----------------

Manufacturing equipment                                 10-20 years
Furniture and fixtures                                    5-7 years
Office equipment                                          3-5 years
Leasehold improvements                                Term of lease

         Maintenance  and  repairs are charged to  operations;  betterments  are
capitalized.  The  cost  of  property  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of and the
accumulated  depreciation  thereon are eliminated  from the property and related
accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or
charged to income.

         The Company has adopted the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board SFAS
No., 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-lived  Assets." SFAS No. 121
addresses  the  accounting  for (i)  impairment of  long-lived  assets,  certain
identified  intangibles and goodwill  related to assets to be held and used, and
(ii) long-live lived assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be disposed
of.  SFAS No. 121  requires  that  long-lived  assets and  certain  identifiable
intangibles  be held and used by an entity be reviewed for  impairment  whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be  recoverable.  If the sum of the expected  future cash flows from the
used of the  asset  and its  eventual  disposition  (un-discounted  and  without
interest  charges) is less than the carrying  amount of the asset, an impairment
loss is recognized.

Revenue recognition

         Revenue is recognized from sales of products at the time of shipment to
customers.

Advertising Costs

         Advertising is expensed as incurred.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)

Foreign currency translation

         The  Company's  functional  currency  is the  Canadian  dollar  and the
reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. All elements of financial  statements are
translated  using a current  exchange  rate.  For  assets and  liabilities,  the
exchange  rate at the  balance  sheet  date is  used.  Stockholders'  Equity  is
translated using the historical rate. For revenues,  expenses,  gains and losses
the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Translation gains and
losses are included as a separate  component of stockholders'  equity.  Gain and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

Pervasiveness of Estimates

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  required  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

         The  Company has no  significant  off-balance-sheet  concentrations  of
credit  risk such as foreign  exchange  contracts,  options  contracts  or other
foreign hedging arrangements.

Income Taxes

         The Company  accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred
income  tax  assets  and   liabilities   for  the  expected  future  income  tax
consequences,  based on enacted tax laws, of temporary  differences  between the
financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Reclassifications

         Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the  2003  financial
statements to conform with the 2004 presentation.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

         Basic loss per share has been  computed  by  dividing  the loss for the
year  applicable to the common  stockholders  by the weighted  average number of
common  shares  outstanding  during the years.  There were no common  equivalent
shares outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Stock Compensation for Non-Employees

         The  Company  accounts  for the fair  value of its  stock  compensation
grants for  non-employees  in accordance with FASB Statement 123. The fair value
of each grant is equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of
grant if an active  market  exists or at a value  determined  in an arms  length
negotiation between the Company and the non-employee.
