To Our Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting of the shareholders of Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. to be held at 10:00 a.m. local time, on December 8, 2004 at our principal executive office located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 1900, Vancouver, British Columbia.

At the meeting, you will be asked to

•

approve the issuance of shares of common stock to complete the acquisition of a Chinese generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, Shanxi Weiqida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., such combination to be accomplished by the exchange of our shares for all outstanding shares of Shanxi Weiqida’s sole shareholder, Oriental Wave Holding Ltd.,

•

approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares; and

•

consider our customary annual business, being the election of nominees to the board of directors and the ratification of the appointment of the independent accountants.

The approval of the issuance of our common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Oriental Wave is being sought to satisfy the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Upon completion of the acquisition, Oriental Wave and its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, will become our direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries.

We believe that the acquisition of Oriental Wave will provide substantial strategic and financial benefits to our shareholders and that the transaction will combine our respective strengths and competitive advantages without requiring a fundamental change in strategy for either company. We believe the combined company will have a better opportunity for growth as a result of being more diverse, with established product lines, expanded production facilities and operations in China, and be stronger financially based on our combined sales and earnings. In addition, the acquisition will allow us to consolidate office space and eliminate functional duplications primarily in our China sales and distribution area. Overall, we believe the combined company will better position us to deliver increased shareholder value over what could be achieved by Dragon individually. Based on the recent closing price of $0.90 for a share of our common stock as of October 29, 2004, the estimate value of the acquisition is approximately $39.6 million assuming 44.4 million shares are issued.

Under the proposed share exchange, the shareholders of Oriental Wave will own, after the exchange, 68.35% of our common shares as calculated on a fully diluted basis. We estimate that in the acquisition, we will be required to issue approximately 44.4 million shares of common stock, plus any additional shares needed to account for outstanding options and warrants. As this exceeds the number of our available authorized shares of common stock, in order to permit the acquisition to be completed in one stage, at the meeting we will also be seeking shareholder approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock. If the acquisition is approved but the increase in authorized shares is not approved, we will still be able to complete the acquisition, but in two stages. If you do not want shareholders of Oriental Wave to control 68.35% of our common shares, you should vote against the acquisition. However, we believe that the acquisition will be beneficial to our shareholders and urge you to vote for the issuance of the shares for the acquisition and for the other proposals set forth in the accompanying proxy statement.

We hope you plan to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting. However, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person, in order that we may be assured of a quorum we urge you to sign and return the enclosed proxy in the postage-paid envelope provided as promptly as possible.

•

to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares so that we will have a sufficient number of authorized shares to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave in a single stage and a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to provide us with flexibility in our corporate planning,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

ABOUT THE MEETING, VOTING AND

THE PROPOSED SHARE EXCHANGE WITH THE

SHAREHOLDERS OF ORIENTAL WAVE

The following are some questions that you, as a shareholder of Dragon, may have regarding our acquisition of Oriental Wave and the other matters being considered at the annual shareholders’ meeting and the answers to those questions. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement because the information in this section does not provide all of the information that might be important to you with respect to the share exchange and the other matters being considered at the annual shareholders’ meeting. Additional important information is also contained in the annex to this proxy statement.

What are shareholders being asked to vote on at the meeting?

Our shareholders will vote on a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Oriental Wave. This proposal is being sought to meet the listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange. In addition, shareholders will be asked to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000 so that we will have a sufficient number of shares to complete the acquisition in one stage. If these two proposals are passed and the share exchange is completed, Oriental Wave will become our wholly-owned subsidiary.

The principal trading market for our common shares, 82.6% of volume to date in 2004, is the OTC Bulletin Board. In Canada, we are also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (1.9% of our trading volume in 2004). No approvals are required from the NASD, the principal regulator of the OTC Bulletin Board, in order for us to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave. With respect to the Toronto Stock Exchange, we have filed an application for approval of the acquisition of Oriental Wave but have not yet completed all filings nor have we had the transaction reviewed by the listings committee of that stock exchange. If we obtain shareholder approval to the proposals to approve the issuance of the common stock and to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, and we wish to close the transaction and maintain our listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, we will be required to meet all conditions imposed by that stock exchange before closing. The Toronto Stock Exchange regards the proposed transaction as a reverse takeover transaction. As a result, we have been advised that as a condition of obtaining the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange to the proposed acquisition, we must satisfy the exchange’s original listing requirements. While we are currently in the process of attempting to satisfy these requirements, as at the date of this proxy statement, we have not satisfied the exchange’s original listing requirements and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. One of the requirements is that a member broker of the Toronto Stock Exchange sponsor our listing as a company combined with Oriental Wave. We are currently interviewing firms to serve as a sponsor and to issue a report. No assurance can be given that we will receive a sponsorship report or that the approval of the listings committee, if granted, will be received by the time we wish to close the acquisition. If we choose to close the transaction without having completed all the requirements imposed by the Toronto Stock Exchange, this may result in our shares no longer being listed on that stock exchange. In that case, we will seek an additional listing on another exchange if we believe that will be beneficial to our shareholders. The loss of our listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange will not affect the listing of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, which will remain our primary market. See “Stock Exchange Listings and Approvals”.

At the meeting, shareholders will also vote on the election of directors and the ratification of our independent accountants.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

We and the shareholders of Oriental Wave have agreed to complete a share exchange in which Oriental Wave would become our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under terms of the Share Purchase Agreement entered into with the shareholders of Oriental Wave, in order to fully complete the share exchange we must issue a sufficient number of shares of our common stock such that the shareholders of Oriental Wave will hold, in the aggregate at the completion of share exchange, 68.35% of our outstanding shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis). Based on 20,602,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and 2,026,500 shares reserved for future issuance as of October 29, 2004, and assuming shareholder approval of an increase in the number of our authorized shares, we estimate that we will issue up to an aggregate of approximately 48.9 million shares of common stock to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave. A description of the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement is included in this proxy statement and a copy of the agreement is also attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

We will seek to obtain approval for these proposals at the meeting. This proxy statement contains important information about our common stock, the share exchange and the meeting of shareholders and you should read it carefully. The enclosed voting materials allow you to vote your shares without attending the shareholders’ meeting.

What will happen in the share exchange?

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the shareholders of Oriental Wave will exchange all of their outstanding shares of Oriental Wave for shares of our common stock. If the proposals to approve the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement and to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares are approved, the acquisition of Oriental Wave will occur in one transaction. If the proposal to approve the issuance of the shares is approved but the proposal to approve an amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares is not approved, we will still be able to complete the acquisition, but in two stages. In the first stage we intend to acquire 60% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave for approximately 27.37 million shares of our common stock. We intend to acquire the remaining 40% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in consideration for our

- 3 -

issuance of the remaining number of shares in a subsequent stage that will occur after shareholder approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporate increasing the number of our authorized shares of common stock. Because we will hold a controlling interest in Oriental Wave and the Oriental Wave shareholders will hold a sufficient number of our outstanding shares, we will be able to increase the authorized number of shares without seeking further shareholder approval.

When is the share exchange expected to be completed?

We anticipate that the share exchange will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2004.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 29, 2004 (the Record Date), are entitled to vote at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting.

What are the Board’s recommendations on the proposals?

The Board recommends a vote

•

FOR the issuance of shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement;

•

FOR the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares;

•

FOR the election of each of the nominees to our board of directors; and

•

FOR the ratification of Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd., Chartered Accountants, as our independent accountants.

How will our directors and senior management vote on the proposals?

Certain of our directors, Messrs. Cai, Liu, Sun and Wick, have advised us that they and certain of their affiliates or other related parties intend to vote FOR each of the proposals and FOR each of the nominees. We have been advised that this group owns or controls, in the aggregate, 8,192,500 shares of our common stock or 39.8% of our outstanding shares.

Will I be entitled to dissenters’ rights if the proposals are posted?

If you do not wish to relinquish 68.35% of our control to the Oriental Wave shareholders, you should vote against proposal to approve the issuance of our common stock in connection with the acquisition. However, even though you may vote against such proposal, you will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights in connection with that or any of the other proposals.

How do I vote?

Sign and date each proxy card you receive and return it in the postage-prepaid envelope enclosed with your proxy materials. If you are a registered shareholder and attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person.

If your shares are held by your broker or bank, in “street name,” you will receive a form from your broker or bank seeking instructions as to how your shares should be voted. If you do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, your broker or bank will vote your shares if it has discretionary power to vote on a particular matter.

- 4 -

Who will count the vote?

Our Secretary will count the votes and act as the inspector of election. Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, will tally the proxies and provide this information at the time of the meeting.

What shares are included on the proxy card(s)?

The shares on your proxy card(s) represent ALL of your shares. If you do not return your proxy card(s), your shares will not be voted.

What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?

If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted. We encourage you to have all accounts registered in the same name and address (whenever possible). You can accomplish this by contacting our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada ((604) 661-9400), or, if your shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the broker or bank who holds your shares.

How many shares can vote?

There were 20,602,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Every shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. We have no other voting securities outstanding.

What is a “quorum”?

A “quorum” is a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and attending the meeting. They may be present in person or represented by proxy. For the purposes of determining a quorum, shares held by brokers or nominees for which we receive a signed proxy will be treated as present even if the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote on a particular matter or if instructions were never received from the beneficial owner. These shares are called “broker non-votes.” Abstentions will be counted as present for quorum purposes.

What do I need to do now?

After you have carefully read this proxy statement, indicate on your proxy card how you want your shares voted, then sign and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid return envelope marked “Proxy” as soon as possible so that your shares may be represented and voted at the meeting.

Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. There are three ways for you to revoke your proxy and change your vote. First, you may send a written notice to our secretary stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second you may complete and submit a new proxy card. Third, you may vote in person at the meeting.

What happens if I abstain?

Proxies marked “abstain” will be counted as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum but, for purposes of determining the outcome of a proposal, shares represented by such proxies will not be treated as affirmative votes. For Proposals 1 and 4, affirmative votes of a majority of the shares voting are required. However, for the other proposals requiring an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, an abstention is equivalent to a “no” vote.

- 5 -

If my shares are held by a broker, will the broker vote my shares for me?

Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions to the broker about how to vote. You should instruct your broker how to vote your shares in accordance with the directions your broker provides. Failure to provide instructions to your broker will result in your shares not being voted.

How will we solicit proxies?

We will distribute this proxy statement and solicit votes. The cost of soliciting proxies, which will be conducted by mail, will be borne by us. These costs will include the expense of preparing and mailing proxy solicitation materials for the meeting and reimbursements paid to brokerage firms and others for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy solicitation materials to shareholders. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone, or by facsimile by our directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. In addition, we may engage a proxy solicitor to assist us in obtaining votes. If we do engage a proxy solicitor, we will pay a fee and we anticipate that we will indemnify the proxy solicitor for certain actions in connection with the solicitation and the materials contained in this proxy statement.

Whom should I contact with questions or to obtain additional copies of this proxy statement?

SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement, including Annex A, because this summary does not provide all of the information that might be important to you with respect to the acquisition of Oriental Wave and the other matters being considered at the shareholders’ meeting. See also the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 86.

The Meeting

Our annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on Wednesday, December 8, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. local time. At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to

•

approve the issuance of shares of our common stock to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave, the sole shareholder of a Chinese generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, Shanxi Weiqida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., such acquisition to be accomplished by the exchange of our shares for all of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave,

•

approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000 in order to permit the acquisition of Oriental Wave to be completed in a single closing, and

•

consider our customary annual business, being the election of nominees to the board of directors and the ratification of the appointment of our independent accountants.

The rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange require that the issuance of the shares in connection with transactions of the nature proposed with Oriental Wave be approved by our shareholders. Shareholders are being asked to approve the resolution authorizing the issue of shares to the shareholders of Oriental to comply with this requirement.

Upon completion of the acquisition, Oriental Wave and its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, will become our direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the proposed share exchange, the shareholders of Oriental Wave will own, after the exchange, 68.35% of our common shares as calculated on a fully diluted basis.

The Companies

Dragon. We are a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company whose business plan is to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products in China and market pharmaceutical products in China and in other developing countries. The sole product we currently produce is Erythropoietin or EPO. EPO is a glycoprotein that stimulates and regulates the rate of formation of red blood cells. EPO is primarily used to treat anemia, which is a shortage of red blood cells often caused by kidney disease and chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

We have entered into a series of marketing and license agreements with local pharmaceutical distribution companies to sell, formulate, vial and package our EPO. In most cases the local company is responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all approvals from applicable regulatory authorities that are necessary to permit the sale of our EPO in the licensed area. Currently, we have marketing and license agreements covering approximately 135 countries. We have commenced sales in five of those countries, namely Brazil, India, Egypt, Peru and Ecuador, and our partners in the other licensed countries are working on obtaining required regulatory approvals before they commence sales. We directly market our products in China.

We currently lease an approximately 90,000 square feet facility in Nanjing, China that houses our EPO production line.

Oriental Wave & Shanxi Weiqida. Oriental Wave, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is a privately owned holding company. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, Oriental Wave is principally engaged in the development, production and sale of pharmaceutical products in China.

Shanxi Weiqida’s operations are located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. Shanxi Weiqida currently holds approximately 290 licenses to produce pharmaceutical products in China. Out of these 290 licenses, the Shanxi Weiqida produced 35 products in 2003. In 2002 and 2003 Shanxi Weiqida operated only a pharmaceutical division (the “Pharma Division”) which produced and marketed generic drugs, mainly anti-infectious drugs. In January 2004, Shanxi Weiqida began operation of a chemical division (the “Chemical Division”) to produce and market bulk pharmaceutical chemicals, including Clavulanic Acid, 7-ACA and certain sterilized bulk drugs.

Shanxi Weiqida’s head office and manufacturing facilities are located in Datong City. The head office and Pharma Division are contained in a fully-integrated facility, totaling approximately 258,300 square feet, and includes three production workshops that house a total of eight production lines, utility infrastructure, quality assurance and quality control and a warehouse. The Chemical Division is located in a different location in Datong City. The manufacturing facilities of this division consist of approximately 818,100 square feet.

Required Vote

The proposals to approve the issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Oriental Wave and to ratify our independent accountants must be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock who appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and vote on the proposal. The proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares must be approved by holders owning a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. The nominees who receive the plurality of votes will be elected as our directors.

The Acquisition of Oriental Wave

We have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Oriental Wave under which we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave. In order to acquire control of Oriental Wave and, indirectly, Shanxi Weiqida, we will issue shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Oriental Wave in exchange for all their shares in Oriental Wave.

The total number of shares of common stock to be issued will equal 68.35% of our outstanding common stock after the acquisition, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. Such ownership percentage is fixed and is not subject to change as a result of any fluctuation in the price of Dragon’s stock. Based on 20,602,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and 2,276,500 shares reserved for future issuance as of October 29, 2004, and assuming that the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares is approved, we estimate that we will issue up to an aggregate of approximately 48.9 million shares of common stock to complete the share exchange with the Oriental Wave shareholders.

We currently have 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and, as of October 29, 2004, we had 20,602,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 2,276,500 shares reserved for issuance in connection with the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. We do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares to, in a single stage, fully satisfy our commitment to issue shares to the Oriental Wave shareholders. If the proposal to approve the issuance of shares to the Oriental Wave shareholders is approved, but the proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares is not approved, we will still be able to complete the acquisition, but in two stages. The first stage of the acquisition will result in 60% of the shares of Oriental Wave transferred to us in exchange for approximately 27.37 million shares of our common stock. This will result in the Oriental Wave shareholders owning, as a group, approximately 54.74% of our shares of common stock as calculated on a fully diluted basis (57.08% on a non-dilutive basis) and we will own 60% of the common shares of Oriental Wave. We intend to complete the balance of the acquisition of shares of Oriental Wave upon amending our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized share which will be obtained because the Oriental Wave shareholders will own a sufficient number of shares to amend the certificate of incorporation without seeking further shareholder approval

Conditions to Completion of the Acquisition

The obligation of the parties to complete the acquisition is subject to the fulfillment of each of the following conditions:

•

the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Share Purchase Agreement being true and correct in all material respects as of the closing of the acquisition or being waived,

•

each party acknowledging or waiving the satisfaction of the conditions to closing for the benefit of those parties, and

•

the obtaining of all required regulatory approvals and consents, which conditions will not be waived by Dragon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek to waive the condition that the transaction be approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange in order to complete the acquisition.

In addition, the obligation of the parties to complete the acquisition is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of their receiving all of the certificates, certified copies of resolutions, copies of consents, regulatory approvals and letters, executed escrow agreements, legal opinions and other documents and instruments to be delivered at the closing of the acquisition as set out in the Share Purchase Agreement.

The obligation of Dragon to complete the acquisition is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of each of the following additional conditions

•

all share purchase options and any other convertible securities of Oriental Wave being exercised for, or converted into, shares of Oriental Wave or cancelled by the closing of the acquisition and the shares of Oriental Wave held by Mr. Han, Mr. Weng and Ms. Liu representing all of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave, and

•

approximately $2.4 million (RMB 20 million) in loans owed by Shanxi Weiqida to Shanxi Tongling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. a related party, being converted into the paid-in capital of Shanxi Weiqida, with the balance of the loan approximately $2.7 million (RMB 22 million) remaining outstanding on the current terms of such loan. Mr. Han, the Chairman of Oriental Wave, is also the Chairman of Shanxi Tongling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Termination of Share Purchase Agreement

If the closing of the acquisition has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 31, 2004, the Share Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate. The Share Purchase Agreement also may be terminated

•

at any time with the written consent of each party,

•

by the Oriental Wave shareholders if they notify us that they do not wish to proceed with the exchange of their shares on the basis that there has been a material decrease in the value of Dragon as a company, including but not limited to the value available to a proposed acquirer in the goodwill and reputation of Dragon as a public company, there is any indication of improper trading activity in Dragon’s stock. A decrease in Dragon’s stock price, in and of itself, is also not considered to be a material decrease in the value of Dragon as a company, or

•

by us if we notify the Oriental Wave shareholders that our board of directors has identified and decided to pursue an alternative transaction.

- 9 -

If the Share Purchase Agreement is terminated by the Oriental Wave shareholders or by Dragon in the circumstances described above, we are required to reimburse Oriental Wave for the reasonable expenses actually incurred by Oriental Wave in connection with all matters relating to the acquisition up to an amount not to exceed $500,000.

Reasons for the Acquisition

We believe that the acquisition of Oriental Wave represents an important strategic step for us that will strengthen our competitive position. Combining the businesses of Dragon and Oriental Wave into one unified organization will expand our range of products, allow us to leverage the marketing networks we both have built over the years in China and in international markets and improve our ability to execute our combined business strategy. These benefits will enable us to better capitalize on attractive global market opportunities in the generic pharmaceutical sector as well as the bulk pharmaceutical chemicals sector and position us for increased revenue and growth. Among the benefits we anticipate realizing from the acquisition are the following:

•

Achievement of Critical Scale. We are currently a relatively small company and are often considered as a minor participant in the global pharmaceutical industry. After the acquisition of Oriental Wave we will have substantially increased our scale in terms of asset size, range of products offered, number of employees, manufacturing capabilities and number of manufacturing facilities. With this increase in size, we expect to be able to attract more market attention and generate more business opportunities with customers and business partners and, as a result, are able to more effectively execute our business strategy and better compete in our target markets in the global pharmaceutical industry.

•

Diversification. We believe the acquisition will facilitate our continued transition from a single product company to a more diversified company offering broader and more proven product lines of pharmaceutical, chemical and biotech products. We believe the breadth and nature of the combined product portfolio will be a competitive advantage for the combined company. In addition, the diversification impact of the acquisition will mitigate the overall business risk profile of Dragon and also enable Dragon to operate in multiple sectors of the global pharmaceutical market.

•

Complementary Sales Platform. Oriental Wave, through its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, maintains direct and indirect sales networks in China. Its direct sales network consists of sales offices established throughout China to market, promote and sell Shanxi Weiqida’s products. Such sales offices are managed by sales managers who are employed by Shanxi Weiqida. Its indirect sales network consists of 10 nationwide and 12 district-wide agents retained to sell and distribute products. The indirect sales networks are similar to a third-party agency and the individuals in the indirect sales networks are not employees of Oriental Wave or Shanxi-Weiqida. We believe the direct and indirect sales networks will compliment our existing licensing and third party distribution arrangements. We expect that the complementary distribution platform will give the combined company a market reach that provides coverage of the combined portfolio in both the Chinese and international markets. This is expected to accelerate the distribution of our products into Oriental Wave’s core Chinese market and Oriental Wave’s products into our world-wide distribution arrangements.

•

Complementary Management Expertise. We will combine the management teams of Oriental Wave, which has extensive experience in pharmaceutical product manufacturing and sales and marketing in China, and those of Dragon, which has extensive experience in international regulatory affairs and international market development for pharmaceutical products manufactured in China.

•

Cost and Revenue Synergies. Potential cost synergies, after the acquisition, include costs saved by combining duplicative sales teams and offices of Oriental Wave and Dragon, which may cover the same market area in China and by combining the management of the manufacturing, marketing, human resources, supply chain management and finance operations. We believe that Oriental Wave’s comprehensive sales network in China and Dragon’s extensive licensee networks for the international market outside of China will enable cross-selling of each other’s products to achieve higher sales than both companies could achieve on a stand-alone basis.

- 10 -

•

Capturing Multiple Growth Opportunities. A growing trend in the generic drug and chemical sectors of the pharmaceutical industry is the relocation of the production of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals from developed countries such as Europe to developing countries such as China and India to leverage the low cost environment and other specific location advantages. We believe that the acquisition of Oriental Wave fits this trend and will enable the combined company to compete more effectively and capture more global business opportunities.

Risks Associated with the Acquisition

There are risks and uncertainties that we face in connection with the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave. Among the risks are the following:

•

We did not engage an investment banker to assist in evaluating the acquisition. Although we considered engaging an investment banker to assist us in evaluating the acquisition, we did not do so. As a result, we will not receive an opinion from a professional independent investment banker stating that the acquisition is fair, from a financial point of view, to our shareholders.

•

There may be difficulties with integrating the two existing businesses. The integration of our business with Oriental Wave’s will require implantation of a unified business plan, product strategy and administrative structure and the coordination of expanded business operations. We have never completed any acquisition or merger of this size or scope and we may not be successful in integrating the two businesses in a timely and cost effective manner and, as a result, may not achieve the anticipated benefits from this acquisition.

•

Oriental Wave shareholders will be able to control matters requiring shareholder approval. The three shareholders of Oriental Wave will hold, in the aggregate, 68.35% of our outstanding shares after completion of the acquisition. As a result, they will have the ability to control many matters requiring shareholder approval including approvals of significant corporate transactions requiring majority approval without seeking the approval of the other shareholders. They will also have the ability to significantly influence other matters requiring shareholder approval including our election of directors. This could result in entrenched management.

•

Oriental Wave has a substantial amount of short term debt. As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had short term notes payable of approximately $12.9 million of which $1.8 million was due in September 2004 and the remaining $11.1 million is due in 2005. Oriental Wave’s bankers recently approved a renewal of its $1.8 million note for an additional six months. However, Oriental Wave must continue to seek approval from its bankers to renew or restructure a significant amount of its other short-term debt and no assurances can be given that this will occur in the future.

•

Oriental Wave’s subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, relies heavily on the sale of a few products. The top five products sold by Shanxi Weiqida during 2003 represented approximately 72% of Oriental Wave’s overall revenue. If, after the acquisition, there is a substantial decrease in the sales of these products, our financial results could be adversely affected.

•

Initially, we will be relying even more heavily on the China market. All of Shanxi Weiqida’s revenue and a significant portion of our revenue was derived from sales in China and it is anticipated that sales of products in China will continue to represent a significant portion of our sales after the acquisition is completed. As a result, any adverse changes in the economic, political and social conditions in China could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

These are just some of the risks we face in connection with our proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave. For a complete discussion of these and other risks related to the acquisition and the combined company; see the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17.

- 11 -

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has determined that the acquisition of Oriental Wave is in the best interests of Dragon and is fair to our shareholders. Therefore the Board has approved the acquisition and the increase of our authorized shares and recommends that shareholders of Dragon vote “FOR” the resolution to approve the issuance of shares in connection with the acquisition of Oriental Wave and “FOR” the resolution approving the amendment required to increase our authorized shares in order to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave in a single closing.

The Board meeting held on May 18, 2004 at which the acquisition was approved was attended by four of the five members of the Board of Directors (Drs. Wick, Liu, Sun and Cai attending and Mr. Yuen absent). All four directors who attended the meeting voted in favor of the Board resolution approving the acquisition. Subject to the finalization of certain business issues between Dragon and Oriental Wave, the President and CEO of Dragon was authorized to sign the Share Purchase Agreement.

Interests of Our Directors and Officers in the Acquisition of Oriental Wave.

The acquisition was negotiated at arm’s length and none of the Board of Directors or management of Dragon had any prior connection to Oriental Wave. We are not aware of any additional or unique compensation that will be received by any officer, director, major shareholder or affiliate of Dragon or Oriental Wave in connection with the acquisition.

Management After the Acquisition

On the completion of the acquisition, Oriental Wave will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dragon. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, we have agreed that Mr. Yanlin Han, Mr. Zhanguo Weng and Ms. Xuemei Liu, will be appointed directors of Dragon. Mr. Han is Chairman of the board of Oriental Wave, Mr. Weng is a director of Oriental Wave and the General Manager of Shanxi Weiqida and Ms. Liu is a Director of Oriental Wave.

Our most senior executive positions after the acquisition will be filled by Mr. Han and our President and CEO, Dr. Wick. Mr. Han will be appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Wick will become our President. Dr. Wick and the entire management team will report to Mr. Han. As President, Dr. Wick will be responsible for overseeing our international business and market development. We also intend to appoint a Chief Operating Officer, who will be overseeing our corporate operations and a Chief Financial Officer, who will be overseeing finance, investor relations and corporate compliance.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

We have prepared pro forma consolidated financial statements to show the effect of the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave, with the pro forma consolidated balance sheet prepared as though the proposed acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2003 and the pro forma consolidated statement of operation as though it had occurred on January 1, 2003. The exchange of shares will result in the former shareholders of Oriental Wave owning a majority of the shares in Dragon and, consequently, accounting principles applicable to a reverse take-over have been applied to record the transaction. Under this basis of accounting, Oriental Wave has been identified as the acquirer and, accordingly, the combined company is considered to be a continuation of the operations of Oriental Wave and include the accounts of Dragon from the acquisition date. The pro forma financial statements have been presented assuming that proposal 2 has been approved increasing the number of shares of authorized common stock and as if proposal 2 has not been approved, in which case Dragon would only acquire 60% of the outstanding common shares of Oriental Wave with the remaining 40% of the outstanding common shares to be acquired shortly thereafter.

- 12 -

The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared from information derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Dragon and Oriental Wave as at December 31, 2003 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Dragon and Oriental Wave as at June 30, 2004 included elsewhere herein. These pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of both Dragon and Oriental Wave for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004. These pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual results which would have been attained had the combination been in effect on the date indicated or which may be attained in the future.

The following is a summary of the information included in the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

If the issuance of shares in connection with the acquisition is approved by shareholders but the amendment to increase the number of authorized shares does not receive the required vote, we will still be able to complete the acquisition, but in two stages. In the first stage, we will issue approximately 27.37 million shares of common stock in exchange for 60% of the shares of Oriental Wave. This will be followed by a subsequent acquisition of the remaining 40% of the shares of Oriental Wave. See “The Share Purchase Agreement – Consideration to be Received by Shareholders of Oriental Wave”.

Dragon expects to incur reorganization and restructuring expenses as a result of the proposed acquisition. The effect of the estimated acquisition and reorganization costs expected to be incurred has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Dragon also anticipates that the acquisition will provide the combined company with some future financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses and opportunities to earn more revenue. However, Dragon does not reflect any of these anticipated cost savings or benefits in the pro forma financial information. Therefore, the pro forma financial information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. The pro forma financial information also does not attempt to show how the combined company would actually have performed had the companies been combined throughout the periods presented. Dragon has included in the pro forma financial statements all the adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of the historical periods.

Given the information regarding the proposed acquisition, the actual consolidated financial position and results of operations will differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts reflected herein because, among other reasons:

•

assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial data may be revised in the future due to changes in values of assets or liabilities, including finalization of the calculation of intangibles, and changes in operating results between the dates of the unaudited pro forma financial data and the date on which the acquisition takes place; and

•

adjustments may need to be made to the unaudited historical financial data upon which such pro forma data are based.

Historical and Pro Forma Per Share Data for Dragon and Oriental Wave

The table below shows the book value and earnings per share for Dragon and Oriental Wave both on a historical and a pro forma basis. Our pro forma data was derived by combining historical consolidated financial information of Dragon and Oriental Wave using the purchase method of accounting for the acquisition. Oriental Wave’s equivalent pro forma data was derived by multiplying our pro forma income per share before nonrecurring charges or credits directly attributable to the acquisition and the pro forma book value per share, by the assumed consideration of 44,491,207 shares of Dragon common stock for all shares of Oriental Wave, so that the per share amounts are equated to the respective values for one share of Oriental Wave.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before voting on the proposals, and in particular Proposals 1 and 2, contained in this proxy statement. If any of the following risks occur, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the combined company after the acquisition could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Acquisition

Oriental Wave’s shareholders will be able to control matters requiring shareholder approval.

Upon completion of the proposed share exchange, Oriental Wave’s shareholders, Messrs. Han and Weng and Ms. Liu, will, in the aggregate, own 68.35% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, these shareholders will be able to control certain corporate governance matters requiring shareholders’ approval. Such matters may include the approval of significant corporate transactions such as increasing the authorized number of our shares to complete the acquisition, if necessary, and any other transactions requiring a majority vote without seeking other shareholders’ approval. They will also have the ability to control other matters requiring shareholder approval including our election of directors which could result in the entrenchment of management. To our knowledge, Oriental Wave’s shareholders have not indicated to us a desire to sell their shares to be acquired in the share exchange in the near future, however, any such sale could make it more difficult for our current shareholders to sell their shares or could result in significantly reduced prices.

We did not engage an investment banker to evaluate the acquisition.

In connection with the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave, we did not engage an investment banker to assist us in our evaluation of Oriental Wave. As a result, although we considered engaging an investment banker to assist us in this acquisition, there was no independent professional investment banker to determine if the acquisition is fair, from a financial point of view, to our shareholders.

The acquisition may fail to achieve the expected benefits.

We have entered into an agreement to acquire Oriental Wave in an effort to obtain additional sales and operating efficiencies, among other benefits. These expected benefits may not be achieved. Whether we ultimately realize these benefits will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control including our success in integrating Oriental Wave’s operations, technological changes, the impact of competitive forces, and other general market conditions or economic factors specific to the pharmaceutical industry in general. Even if we are able to integrate our respective operations and if economic conditions remain stable, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits will ever be achieved. The failure to achieve such benefits could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the combined company after the acquisition is completed.

We may not be able to successfully integrate Oriental Wave and its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, into our business, and the integration process will place significant demands on our managerial resources.

The integration of Oriental Wave and its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, into our business will pose many challenges, including the development and implementation of a unified business plan, product strategy and administrative structure, consolidation of a combined sales and marketing network in China, coordinating expanded business operations, and retaining key employees from our current business and from Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida. We have not completed any acquisition or merger of this size or scope. Thus, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate the operations of Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida in a timely or cost-effective manner and achieve the anticipated benefits. The integration may also divert the attention of, and place significant demands on, our managerial resources and disrupt our current business operations. There can be no assurance that such integration will be accomplished smoothly or successfully. The inability of management to

- 17 -

successfully integrate the operations of the two companies could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition including, without limitation, our sales and marketing efforts. Consequently, our results of operations may be adversely affected. We have estimated that the integration of the two companies will take approximately six months including consolidating the sales network and reorganizing the headquarters in Vancouver to have a unified corporate governance and management system, establishing a Chinese headquarters for the overall management of our business activities in China, and to combine our international market development. Since neither side has ever been involved in a business combination of this size, unexpected difficulties may result and it may take a longer time than we estimate to fully accomplish the integration process.

Risks Related To Oriental Wave and its Subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida

Oriental Wave must restructure its short-term loans.

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had a working capital deficit of $16,810,887, and short term notes of $12.9 million, of which $1.8 million was due in September 2004. Oriental Wave has renewed the $1.8 million note for an additional six months. As these other short-term loans become due, Oriental Wave must seek banker’s approval to restructure or renew these other short-term loans. If Oriental Wave is not successful in restructuring such short-term loans, this may have an adverse affect, including the limitation of growth on its operations as well as the operations of the combined company after the acquisition is completed.

Shanxi Weiqida relies heavily on the sale of a few products.

Shanxi Weiqida’s top five products for 2002 and 2003 were Amoxicillin Sulbactam, Mezlocillin, Cloxacillin, Metronidazole and Ampicillin Cloxacillin, while the top five products for the first six months of 2004 were Amoxicillin Sulbactam, Mezlocillin, Metronidazole, Ampicillin Cloxacillin and Amoxicillin Sodium/Clavulanate Potassium. The top five products sold by Shanxi Weiqida amounted to approximately $9.5 million and $18.8 million of its sales during 2002 and 2003, respectively, representing approximately 85% and 72% of Oriental Wave’s overall sales for those periods. Although we do anticipate that there will be a material change in demand for these products, a change in demand for these products due to world competition, market forces or other factors outside of its control, could adversely affect our sales and net income and the sales and net income of the combined company after the acquisition.

During 2002, 2003 and the first six months ended June 30, 2004, sales to Shanxi Weiqida’s five largest distributors of pharmaceutical products in China accounted for approximately 15.3%, 11.5% and 8.4% of Shanxi Weiqida’s overall sales, respectively. These distributors in turn distribute Shanxi Weiqida’s products to its ultimate customers. Sales to Shanxi Weiqida’s largest distributor accounted for approximately 5.5%, 3.5% and 2.4% of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales respectively for the same periods. Although sales to the largest distributor have accounted for a decreasing percentage of Shanxi Weiqida’s overall sales, Shanxi Weiqida believes that the loss of this distributor may require Shanxi Weiqida to generate sales through new distributors.

Shanxi Weiqida is required to contribute a portion of its net income to a Statutory Reserve Fund which may not be distributed.

By law, Shanxi Weiqida is required to contribute at least 10% of its after tax net income (as determined in accordance with Chinese GAAP) into a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve is equal to 50% of Shanxi Weiqida’s registered capital, and between a further 5% and 10% of its after tax net income, as determined by Shanxi Weiqida’s Board of Directors, into a public welfare fund. These reserve funds are recorded as part of shareholders’ equity but are not available for distribution to shareholders other than in the case of liquidation. As a result of this requirement, the amount of net income available for distribution to shareholders will be limited.

Risks related to the Combined Company after the Acquisition

Oriental Wave has a negative working capital which may slow growth.

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had a negative working capital of $16,810,887 and short-term notes due of $12.9 million, of which $1.8 million was due in September 2004. Oriental Wave has renewed the $1.8 million note for an additional six months. As a result, Oriental Wave must, during the upcoming twelve months, negotiate with its banks to restructure or renew its notes. Assuming that Oriental Wave is successful in renegotiating its notes and that vendors continue to work with Oriental Wave as to their accounts payables, Oriental Wave believes that it will be able to continue to fund its operations from product sales for the near future. However, this negative working capital may limit Oriental Wave’s growth, and the growth of the combined company, since the majority of its earnings will be used to pay accounts payable and existing debts. Further, if Oriental Wave is unsuccessful in restructuring and renewing its notes or if vendors demand immediate payment, these actions will adversely affect operations and may require Oriental Wave to sell certain assets to pay off liabilities.

We may be subject to product liability claims in the future that could harm our business and reputation.

Product liability claims may arise if harmful products are sold to members of the public or if there are any alleged harmful effects from the consumption of our products. Under current Chinese laws, manufacturers and vendors of defective products in China may incur liability for loss and injury caused by such products, including having their business licenses revoked and facing criminal liability. Consistent with industry practice in China, Shanxi Weiqida does not carry liability insurance coverage. Should any product liability claim be brought against us, there is no assurance that it would not have an adverse impact on our business, profitability or business reputation.

We will be dependent upon the services of Mr. Han

Upon the consummation of the acquisition, it is anticipated that Mr. Han, our largest shareholder after the acquisition, will serve as CEO. As a result, our operations will be dependent on Mr. Han who has been the driving force behind Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida. If something happens to Mr. Han, this could divert management’s time and attention and adversely effect our ability to conduct the combined business effectively.

Risks Related to the People’s Republic of China

Shanxi Weiqida relies heavily on the China market and changes in the market could harm our business.

During 2002 and 2003, 100% of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales were derived from China. It is anticipated that Shanxi Weiqida products in China will continue to represent a significant portion of Oriental Wave’s sales in the near future. As a result of its reliance on the China market, the operating results and financial performance of Oriental Wave and the combined company after the acquisition is completed could be affected by any adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions in China. For example, if legislative proposals for pharmaceutical product pricing, reimbursement levels, approval criteria or manufacturing requirements should be proposed and adopted, such new legislation or regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we will be subject to varying degrees of regulation and licensing by governmental agencies in China. At this time, we are unaware of any China legislative proposals that could adversely affect our business. There can be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes will not have a material adverse effect on Shanxi Weiqida, that regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to compliance or non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations or that any changes in applicable laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on Shanxi Weiqida or our operations.

- 19 -

Certain Shanxi Weiqida products are subject to price controls and if the related manufacturing costs increase, our potential profits may be harmed.

In July 2000, in an effort to enhance market competition in the pharmaceutical industry and to reduce medical expenses, the former State Development and Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China promulgated a new policy to reform the price control of pharmaceutical products in China. According to the policy, the price of pharmaceutical products is subject to the control by government bureaus at state and provincial levels. In the event that the sale prices of our products are limited by government bureaus at the state and provincial levels, this may have an adverse effect on our net income, especially if our costs associated with those products increase. Approximately 22 out of the 35 products from the Pharma Division of Shanxi Weiqida, accounting for approximately 39% of 2003 sales and 43% of sales in the first six months of 2004, are subject to governmental imposed retail price controls in China. If manufacturing costs increase for products of Shanxi Weiqida that are subject to price ceilings, and the retail price for those products is not adjusted upwards, Oriental Wave’s profitability may be adversely affected as well as the profitability of the combined company after the acquisition.

Shanxi Weiqida is required to maintain compliance with GMP standards.

All pharmaceutical manufacturers in China, including Shanxi Weiqida, are required to comply with certain Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, standards by certain time limits and, if not met, their pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise permits will be revoked or they will not be renewed and accordingly production will have to be terminated. A GMP certificate is valid for five years from the issuance date of such certificate.

Shanxi Weiqida has been accredited with all GMP certificates it requires for its production facilities. Shanxi Weiqida’s GMP certificate for the Pharma division facility will expire and is subject to renewal in August 2008 and the GMP certificate for the Clavulanic Acid facility of the Chemical division will expire and is subject to renewal in January 2009. The standard of compliance required in connection with GMP certificates may change from time to time, which may give rise to substantial compliance burdens and increase Shanxi Weiqida’s costs in the future. If the renewal of any required GMP-related status is not granted, the relevant operations of Shanxi Weiqida may have to be terminated which in turn would have an adverse impact on the profitability of Oriental Wave and the combined company after the acquisition is completed.

Currency conversion and exchange control could adversely effect our operations and profitability.

The sales and expenses of Shanxi Weiqida are substantially settled in Renminbi, or RMB. However, our accounts are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, after the completion of the acquisition of Oriental Wave, our net income, the value of our assets and our ability to pay dividends, if any, in U.S. dollars may be adversely affected by negative changes in the exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar or other currencies.

Major reforms have been introduced to the foreign exchange control system of China. In 1994, the previous dual exchange rate system for RMB was abolished and a unified floating exchange rate system, based largely on supply and demand, was introduced. Since December 1996, under the rules of International Monetary Fund, or IMF, China has provided a free exchange of current accounts, while capital accounts have been subject to foreign exchange control. Foreign exchange transactions under a capital account, including foreign currency-denominated borrowings from foreign banks and principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. However, the payment in and transfer of foreign exchange for current international transactions, such as the payment of dividends or other distributions to shareholders, is deemed a current account and therefore is not subject to Chinese government controls or restrictions. Although China’s commitment to IMF is unlikely to change, limitations on foreign exchange could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures and we continue to be exposed to negative changes in exchange rates.

We may be adversely affected by government plans to consolidate state owned pharmaceutical companies in China.

The Ministry of Commerce of China has announced a plan to consolidate nearly 5,000 state owned pharmaceutical companies into approximately 12 to 15 companies. The planned consolidation has already commenced and is anticipated to continue until the goals of the Ministry of Commerce have been realized. The Ministry of Commerce has set a near term goal of having 10 large companies with annual sales of over approximately $600 million by 2005 and its longer-term goal is to have the consolidated firms have $5.0 billion in

- 20 -

revenue by 2010. We are not currently aware, however, of how many companies have been consolidated or when the planned consolidation will be completed. Such consolidation could result in increased competition from companies that will be larger and have greater resources than us. Further, the Ministry of Commerce has discussed that certain large pharmaceutical companies may be granted priority for technical innovation and research and development. However, the Ministry of Commerce has not provided any further guidance as to priority with respect to such technical innovation and research and development. Larger competitors enjoy the benefits of economies of scale and therefore may be able to afford to sell competing products at lower prices than Shanxi Weiqida. This will have an adverse effect on Shanxi Weiqida’s profitability and the profitability of the combined company after the acquisition.

Shanxi Weiqida does not have patent protection and is subject to substantial competition.

Shanxi Weiqida competes in the generic drug segment of the pharmaceutical industry and has no patent protection for any of its products. Many pharmaceutical companies compete in the same market segment with similar products or products having comparable medicinal applications or therapeutic effects which may be used as direct substitutes for Shanxi Weiqida’s products. Further, many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources and market presence than Shanxi Weiqida. Larger competitors may, as a result of economies of scale, be able to afford to sell competing products at lower prices than Shanxi Weiqida. This will have an adverse effect on Shanxi Weiqida’s profitability as well as the profitability of the combined company after the acquisition. These competitors include Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holding Co. Ltd, Shijiazhuang Pharmaceutical Group Co., Shandong Royoung Pharmaceutical South Pharmaceutical and Jiangxi Dangfeng Pharmaceutical. As a result of the lack of patent protection, competitors with potential substitutes could launch similar products in the market with their prices analogous with or lower than those manufactured and sold by Shanxi Weiqida. Further, the lack of patent protection could also attract an even greater number of competitors who believe they can develop products that are substantially similar to those of Oriental Wave at a lower cost.

Expansion into overseas markets could pose additional risks.

Shanxi Weiqida plans to expand sales of products from its Pharma and Chemical Divisions into overseas markets including developing and developed countries. These markets are untested for Shanxi Weiqida’s products and Shanxi Weiqida, as well as the combined company after the acquisition, faces risks in expanding the business overseas, which include differences in regulatory product testing requirements, patent protection, taxation policy, legal systems and rules, marketing costs, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and changes in political and economic conditions.

Chinese economic planning could negatively impact the pharmaceutical market in which our products are sold.

China has a long history of a planned economy and is still subject to plans formulated by the Central Chinese government. In recent years, the Chinese government has introduced economic reforms aimed at transforming the Chinese economy from a planned economy into a market economy with socialist characteristics. These economic reforms allow greater utilization of market forces in the allocation of resources and greater autonomy for enterprises in their operations. However, many rules and regulations implemented by the Chinese government are still at an early stage of development and further refinements and amendments are necessary to enable the economic system to develop into a more market oriented form. No assurance can be given that any change in economic conditions as a result of the economic reform and macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government will have a positive impact on the Chinese economic development or its pharmaceutical sector, which is the market where our products are sold. At the same time, there can be no assurance that such measures will be consistent and effective or that we will benefit from or will be able to capitalize on all such reforms.

PROPOSAL 1—ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN

CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITION OF ORIENTAL WAVE

We have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Oriental Wave under which all outstanding shares of Oriental Wave will be exchanged for shares of our common stock. Oriental Wave, a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of Shanxi Weiqida, a Chinese generic pharmaceutical company.

In order to acquire control of Oriental Wave and, indirectly, Shanxi Weiqida, we intend to issue our common stock to the shareholders of Oriental Wave in exchange for all of their shares in Oriental Wave. The total number of shares of Dragon common stock to be issued will equal 68.35% of the outstanding shares of Dragon common stock after the acquisition of the Oriental Wave shares, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. Such ownership percentage is fixed and is not subject to change as a result of any fluctuation in the price of Dragon’s stock. The rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange require that transactions of the nature proposed with Oriental Wave be approved by our shareholders.

Based on 20,602,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and 2,276,500 shares reserved for future issuance as of October 29, 2004, we estimate that we will issue up to an aggregate of approximately 44.4 million shares of common stock, plus any additional shares needed to account for outstanding options and warrants, to complete the share exchange with the Oriental Wave shareholders. We currently have 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. As a result, we do not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares to fully satisfy our commitment to issue shares to the Oriental Wave shareholders under the Share Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, at the meeting shareholders will also be asked to approve a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares (see “Proposal 2”).

If the issuance of shares in connection with the acquisition is approved by shareholders (this proposal requires a majority vote by shareholders who vote in person or by proxy) but the amendment to increase our authorized shares does not receive the required vote (this matter requires a majority of all outstanding shares to be voted in favor of the proposal rather than just a majority vote of shares voted) we will still be able to complete the acquisition, although it will occur in two stages. The first stage of the acquisition would result in 60% of the shares of Oriental Wave transferred to us in exchange for approximately 27.37 million shares of our common stock. This will result in our controlling 60% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave and the Oriental Wave shareholders owning, as a group, approximately 54.74% of our shares of common stock as calculated on a fully diluted basis (57.08% on a non-dilute basis) and 40% of the common shares of Oriental Wave. Because, after the first stage, we will hold a controlling interest in Oriental Wave and the shareholders of Oriental Wave will hold a sufficient number of our outstanding shares, we will be able to guarantee shareholder approval of the increase of our authorized shares necessary to complete the acquisition of the remaining outstanding Oriental Wave shares. We intend to complete the balance of the acquisition of shares of Oriental Wave as soon as practicable after our authorized shares have been increased. See “The Share Purchase Agreement – Consideration to be Received by the Shareholders of Oriental Wave”.

We believe that the acquisition of Oriental Wave will provide substantial strategic and financial benefits to our shareholders and that the transaction will combine our respective strengths and competitive advantages without requiring a fundamental change in strategy for either company. In addition, the acquisition will allow us to consolidate office space and eliminate functional duplications primarily in our China sales and distribution area. Overall, we believe the combined company will better position us to deliver increased shareholder value over what could be achieved by Dragon individually. Based on the recent closing price of $0.90 for a share of our common stock as of October 29, 2004, the estimate value of the acquisition is approximately $39,600,000 assuming 44.4 million shares are issued.

The Acquisition

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to acquire from Mr. Yanlin Han, Mr. Zhanguo Weng and Ms. Xuemei Liu all of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in exchange for shares of our common stock. The resulting ownership of the combined company will be 68.35% for Oriental Wave shareholders and 31.65% for Dragon’s shareholders. The 68.35% ownership percentage is fixed and is not subject to change as a result of any fluctuation in the price of Dragon’s stock and was the result of negotiations between the two parties. Shanxi Weiqida, a Chinese generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental Wave.

The following diagram sets out the share ownership in Dragon after the acquisition. All percentages are based on the number of our shares outstanding as of June 30, 2004 and calculated on a fully diluted basis.

(1)

If our shareholders do not approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares at the meeting (see “Proposal 2”), we and the shareholders of Oriental Wave have agreed to complete the acquisition in two stages. In the first stage, we would acquire 60% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in consideration for approximately 27.37 million shares of our common stock. In the second stage, which we intend to complete after we receive shareholder approval to increase our authorized shares, we would acquire the remaining 40% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in consideration for the remaining share consideration that is payable by us under the Share Purchase Agreement. After the first stage of the acquisition, because we will hold a controlling interest in Oriental Wave and the shareholders of Oriental Wave will hold a sufficient number of our outstanding shares to be able to guarantee shareholder approval of the increase of our authorized shares necessary to complete the acquisition. See “- The Purchase Agreement – Consideration to be Received by Shareholders of Oriental Wave”.

Background to the Acquisition

September 2002: On September 10, 2002, Mr. Han, Chairman of Oriental Wave was introduced to Mr. Robert Walsh, our Director of Corporate Development by a mutual friend of Mr. Han and Mr. Walsh since the friend knew that they were both in pharmaceutical business in China. Mr. Han visited Mr. Walsh at our headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. During the meeting, Mr. Walsh and Mr. Han shared their experience of selling and marketing pharmaceutical products in China. However, nothing related to the proposed acquisition or any kind of business cooperation was discussed during this meeting.

October 2002: Dr. Alexander Wick replaced Dr. Liu to become our President in October 2002. The key agenda for Dr. Wick was to improve our sales performance in China and on international markets as well as to formulate a European strategy for our EPO product. Given our size and the fact that we had only one product in the market, it would be very costly for us to set up a nation-wide sales network in China and simultaneously support the European market development on our own. As a result, we began an internal review of various strategic options including, but not limited to, developing the European market alone or, merging with, partnering with or setting up a joint venture with another company.

Early April, 2003: We received a verbal indication from a pharmaceutical company that it was interested in forming a joint venture with us to produce EPO in China in exchange for a discount in the selling price of EPO supplied to this pharmaceutical company. Our management reviewed the business proposal and determined that it was not to our advantage since the plan:

•

would only contribute operational capital for the production facility in China,

•

would not strengthen sales in China because the other pharmaceutical company did not have any sales infrastructure or market exposure in China,

•

would not form an alliance for strategic development, since the other party was only looking for a steady and low-price EPO producer,

•

would make our corporate structure more complicated, and

•

would not offer any additional products to Dragon to lessen our reliance on only one product.

- 23 -

No further discussions were held with this pharmaceutical company.

Oriental Wave’s representative in Canada, Ms. M. Deng, approached Dr. Wick and Garry Wong, Executive Assistant to the President and CEO, to discuss if there was interest in any possible cooperation between Oriental Wave and us. Before the meeting, the parties entered into a non-disclosure agreement dated April 1, 2003. Ms. Deng met with Dr. Wick and Mr. Wong in Vancouver and gave Dr. Wick and Mr. Wong a brief overview of the business of Oriental Wave. At the meeting the parties agreed that both companies:

•

have a similar business model and established production bases in China in order to benefit from the cost competitiveness and the market potential,

•

are targeting primarily the developing countries and, eventually, developed countries such as the European Union,

•

have very active business exposure in India, and

•

are complementary to each other: Dragon has its shares listed for trading and an international sales network while Oriental Wave has a well established sales network in China.

As a result, it was determined that it was worth exploring further the feasibility of a combination of the two companies and that both sides should value the deal based on the business fundamentals and not based on Dragon’s stock price;

June 2003: A Dragon Board Meeting was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 26, 2003, at which an information package and preliminary financial and non-financial analysis, including a valuation of the proposed transaction with Oriental Wave prepared by management, was submitted to all of the Directors. Included in the Board information package was a discussion of the potential detriments of the acquisition to our shareholders. Such detriments included:

•

our current shareholders would be minority shareholders of the combined company; and

•

the Oriental Wave shareholders would have the ability to control the combined company and would be able to control management and effect corporate transactions without seeking further shareholder approval.

The Board authorized Dr. Wick to continue the discussions with Oriental Wave and visit the manufacturing facility of Oriental Wave’s subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, in Datong City. Due to the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in China the visit was postponed to August 2003.

August 2003: From August 5, 2003 to August 7, 2003, Dr. Wick and Mr. Wong visited the headquarters and facility of Oriental Wave’s subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, in Datong City, China and met with Mr. Han, Chairman of Shanxi Weiqida and Mr. Weng, General Manager and Director of Shanxi Weiqida. As a chemist by training and a former president of a fine chemicals company producing Pharmaceutical Chemicals, Dr. Wick observed and assessed the whole facility including production lines, buildings, equipment, quality assurance and quality control and other supporting infrastructure such as power and water supply; his judgment was largely positive. Financial information was exchanged and discussed between Mr. Han and his management team and Dr. Wick and Mr. Wong.

Subsequently, between August 12, 2004 and August 15, 2004, Shanxi Weiqida’s management visited the Nanjing Huaxin Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. production facility in Nanjing, China, of our subsidiary, and met with management of our subsidiary. At the same time, Dr. Wick and Mr. Han began preliminary discussions on the broad parameters of the acquisition including the structuring of the acquisition as a share exchange such that Oriental Wave would become our subsidiary.

Early September, 2003: Mr. Han, Chairman of Oriental Wave, visited our Vancouver headquarters on September 9, 2003, to meet with our management team (James Harris, Robert Walsh and Matthew Kavanagh), two Directors and Gary Ho, a consultant to Dragon at that time. Mr. Han met with Dr. Wick and Dr. Liu in person and had a telephone conference call with Dr. Sun in Hong Kong. Before his arrival in Vancouver, Mr. Han also met with Dr. Cai in Beijing, China. Our other Board Member, Mr. Yuen, was not available for a conference call with Mr. Han.

- 24 -

At a Board meeting held in Vancouver on September 10, 2003, which was attended, in person or by telephone, by all of our Board members (Dr. Wick, Dr. Sun, Dr. Liu, Dr. Cai and Mr. Yuen), our management submitted an updated financial and business issue analyses and valuation. Our Board unanimously approved a motion authorizing our management to continue negotiations with the shareholders of Oriental Wave. The Board also determined that they would meet with Shanxi Weiqida’s management and visit its facility in Datong City.

Dr. Wick and Mr. Han subsequently met in Vancouver on September 11, 2003 and discussed their expectations concerning the amount of consideration to be paid but no final agreement was reached.

Late October/November, 2003: Three members of our Board (Dr. Liu, Dr. Sun and Dr. Cai) and Mr. Gary Ho, a Dragon consultant, visited Shanxi Weiqida’s facility in Datong City between October and November 2003. Dr. Liu visited Shanxi Weiqida’s facility on October 24, 2003, and the rest visited from October 31, 2003 to November 2, 2003. One of our other Board members, Mr. Yuen, declined to join the visit. After the site visit, a Board Meeting was held in Beijing, China from November 3, 2003 to November 4, 2003. At that meeting the Board of Directors passed a motion authorizing management to negotiate a Letter of Intent between Dragon and Oriental Wave and to start the due diligence process. The resolution was approved by a majority of the directors, with Drs. Wick, Sun, Liu and Cai voting in favor and Mr. Yuen voting against. Mr Yuen indicated that he did not feel comfortable going forward with the acquisition and wanted to evaluate another company to sell our EPO product in China. Mr. Yuen did not give specific reasons why he did not feel comfortable going forward with the acquisition. Following the meeting, Fangda Partner was retained as legal counsel in China to perform legal and general due diligence on Shanxi Weiqida.

Subsequent to the Board Meeting, several members of our Board (Dr. Wick, Dr. Cai and Mr. Yuen) met with Mr. Han in Beijing on November 5, 2003 and discussed some specific business issues. To facilitate the acquisition, at the meeting Mr. Han agreed to transfer $2.4 million (RMB 20 million) from the loan owed to a related company by Shanxi Weiqida into paid-in capital of Shanxi Weiqida.

Early December, 2003: On December 1, 2003, Ms. Deng of Oriental Wave visited our headquarters in Vancouver to conduct due diligence on us and our international business.

Mid-December, 2003: In light of the fact that Dragon is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, we approached 13 major financial institutions in Canada to discuss their willingness and ability to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed acquisition. Our staff met with eight of the 13 financial institutions and received two verbal quotes and one written quote with a range from $300,000 to $1 million in fees plus expenses, but the time required to perform the due diligence process was estimated to last from four to eight months due to their lack of experience, knowledge or qualified personnel to complete the fairness opinion process in China. Based on the discussions with these financial institutions, Dragon’s management believed that this transaction was either too small to be of interest to them or they would not have the internal capabilities to conduct the necessary due diligence and valuation process in China without partnering with financial institutions based in China or Hong Kong, which would make the process very time consuming and costly to us. Based on the availability of internal personnel within Dragon who have extensive qualifications and industry experience in the Chinese market and mergers and acquisitions necessary to execute this proposed acquisition, management decided not to require any external investment banker to advise on the proposed acquisition.

Early January 2004: Due diligence was conducted by our management, including management of our Chinese subsidiary, and by our legal counsel Fangda Partners in China. Subsequently, due diligence was conducted by management of Shanxi Weiqida on our Chinese subsidiary and its business in China.

At the suggestion of two Board Members, Dr. Wick, our President and CEO, met with the CEO of another Chinese pharmaceutical company (other than Shanxi Weiqida) in Beijing on January 12, 2004 to discuss a possible alternative transaction with that Chinese pharmaceutical company. Our management understood that at that time a member of Dragon’s Board (Mr. Yuen) was a director of this other company. At the meeting, Dr. Wick made requests for additional information about the Chinese pharmaceutical company and was advised by the CEO of that company that the information would be provided. None of the requested information was ever provided, nor has Dr. Wick ever received any further news or interest from that other Chinese pharmaceutical company. In addition, preliminary internal analysis by our management based on public information indicated that no synergy could be expected between us and that Chinese pharmaceutical company for the following reasons:

•

The other company is short of capital for future development;

- 25 -

•

The two companies have completely different business models;

•

The other company does not have any sales force in China that could increase the sales of our EPO; and

•

The other company is listed on another stock exchange with very low trading volume and little institutional coverage, so combining the two companies would only cause additional complications and additional cost for the compliance with different stock exchanges.

In addition, given that one of our directors (Mr. Yuen) was also the director of this other Chinese pharmaceutical company and that our management intended to avoid any non-arm’s length transaction, our management determined that this transaction was not a viable alternative to the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave and therefore no further discussion or action by the Board was taken.

Also, on January 16, 2004, Dr. Wick met Ms. Liu, one of the three shareholders and a director of Oriental Wave in Beijing to go over the timeline and status of the proposed acquisition. No specific terms of the proposed acquisition were discussed.

Early February 2004: Mr. Yuen, a director of Dragon, was scheduled to visit the facility of Shanxi Weiqida in Datong, China from February 9, 2004 to February 11, 2004 and meet with the management team of Shanxi Weiqida. However, on February 8, 2004, Mr. Yuen cancelled the scheduled visit without citing any reason.

Late February 2004: Dragon and Oriental Wave’s management commenced meaningful negotiations on the terms and conditions including the consideration, as outlined in the Letter of Intent for our proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave. We engaged Bartel Eng & Schroder in California and Lang Michener LLP in British Columbia as legal counsel while Oriental Wave engaged Bull Housser & Tupper LLP of British Columbia to help negotiate the letter of intent. Based on mutual negotiations and each parties’ internally prepared valuations based on public, in the case of Dragon, and private, in the case of Oriental Wave, information the consideration was agreed to be 68.35% ownership of the combined company after the transaction for Oriental Wave shareholders and 31.65% for Dragon shareholders. It was also agreed that such percentage ownership would not be subject to change as a result of any fluctuation in the stock price of Dragon but would be subject to change based on the results of mutual due diligence.

Mid-March 2004: On March 10, 2004, our management submitted a draft of a Letter of Intent and due diligence reports detailing the results of business due diligence completed by our management and our subsidiary’s management in China and legal due diligence completed by our Chinese legal counsel. Based on these due diligence reports, our Board of Directors determined that no change was required to the proposed ownership ratio of the 68.35% ownership of the combined company after the transaction for Oriental Wave shareholders and 31.65% for Dragon shareholders.

On March 15, 2004, the Board of Directors of Dragon passed a motion to authorize the signing of the Letter of Intent with the shareholders of Oriental Wave regarding the proposed acquisition, pending the receipt of a report of Oriental Wave’s auditor on the status of completion of the audited financial statements of Oriental Wave. The resolution was approved by a majority of the directors, with Drs. Wick, Sun, Liu and Cai voting in favor and Mr. Yuen voting against. Mr Yuen indicated that he did not know the shareholders of Oriental Wave and wanted an independent financial advisor.

March 24, 2004: Dragon announced publicly the entering into of a Letter of Intent with Oriental Wave regarding the proposed acquisition.

April 2004: Dragon and Oriental Wave’s management commenced negotiations on the Share Purchase Agreement. Negotiations were conducted through telephone conferences and through legal counsel.

Late-May 2004: At a Board of Directors meeting held on May 18, 2004 in Vancouver, Dragon’s management submitted a project presentation with updated business issues and financial analysis, including an

internally prepared valuation. The Directors attending the meeting unanimously passed a motion to approve the acquisition of Oriental Wave and authorized the signing of the Share Purchase Agreement, subject to the finalization of certain business issues by our President and CEO. The board meeting was attended by Drs. Wick, Sun, Liu and Cai. Mr. Yuen was absent from the meeting. The Board agreed with management’s recommendation that hiring an external financial advisor for the proposed acquisition was not required given the qualifications, experience and expertise of Dragon’s internal personnel in the pharmaceutical industry, the Chinese market and the acquisition process and also considering the cost involved in hiring such an external advisor.

June 11, 2004: Dragon and the shareholders of Oriental Wave signed the Share Purchase Agreement.

Reasons for the Acquisition

We believe that the acquisition represents an important strategic step for us that will strengthen our competitive position. Combining the businesses of Dragon and Oriental Wave into one unified organization will expand our range of products, allow us to leverage the marketing network built over the years in China and international markets by both companies and improve our ability to execute our combined business strategy. These benefits will enable us to better capitalize on attractive global market opportunities in the generic pharmaceutical sector as well as the bulk pharmaceutical chemical sector and position us for increased revenue and growth. Among the benefits we anticipate realizing from the acquisition are the following:

Achievement of Critical Scale. Currently, Dragon is a relatively small company and is often considered as a minor participant in the global pharmaceutical industry. After the transaction, Dragon will have substantially increased its scale in terms of asset size, range of products offered, number of employees, manufacturing capabilities and numbers of manufacturing facilities. With this increase in size, Dragon expects to be able to attract more market attention and generate more business opportunities with customers and business partners and, therefore, will more effectively execute Dragon’s business strategy and compete in our target market in the global pharmaceutical industry. Here is a comparison of Dragon as a stand alone entity and Dragon after the acquisition of Oriental Wave.


	Dragon Alone	Dragon Combined with Oriental Wave
2003 Sales	$3.6 million	$29.7 million⁽¹⁾

2003 Net profit	Net loss of $2.0 million	Net profit of $5.6 million⁽¹⁾

Key products	Two biotech products (EPO & G-CSF (in-licensed))	35 pharmaceutical products Four chemical products Two biotech products

Total number of product permits issued in China	One owned (EPO) and one in-licensed (G-CSF)	Approximately 290 products

Employees	Approximately 150	Approximately 1,850 (plus over 1,200 sales representatives retained on a contract basis)

Sales organization in China	17 sales offices 11 sales managers with 45 sales representatives	63 sales offices 63 sales managers with over 1,200 sales representatives

Production facilities	One biotech facility	Four facilities: One pharmaceutical facility Two chemical facilities One biotech facility

(1)	A full copy of our pro forma consolidated financial statements showing the effect of the acquisition of Oriental Wave are included in this proxy statement on page F-71.

Diversification. We believe the acquisition will facilitate our continued transition from a single product company to a diversified player offering a broader and more proven product line of pharmaceutical, chemical and biotech products. Dragon believes the breadth and nature of the combined product portfolio is a competitive advantage for the combined company. In addition, the diversification impact of the acquisition will not only mitigate the overall business risk profile of Dragon but also enable Dragon to operate in multiple sectors of the global pharmaceutical market.

Complementary Sales Platform. Oriental Wave, through its subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, maintains direct and indirect sales networks in China. Its direct sales network consists of sales offices established throughout China to market, promote and sell Shanxi Weiqida’s products. Such sales offices are managed by Sales Managers employed by Shanxi Weiqida. Its indirect sales network consists of 10 nationwide and 12 district-wide agents to sell and distribute products. These indirect sales networks are similar to a third-party agency and they are not considered employees of Oriental Wave or Shanxi-Weiqida. The direct and indirect sales networks of Oriental Wave should compliment Dragon’s existing licensing and third party distribution arrangements in approximately 130 countries, out of which Dragon generates sales from five countries, namely Brazil, Egypt, India, Peru and Ecuador. In addition, Dragon sells its products directly through its sales offices in China. We expect that this complementary distribution platform will give the combined company a market reach that provides strong coverage of the combined product portfolio in both the Chinese and international markets. This is expected to accelerate the distribution of Dragon’s products into Oriental Wave’s core Chinese market and Oriental Wave’s products into Dragon’s world-wide distribution arrangements. We believe that this enhanced sales platform will:

•

create additional revenue synergies by cross-selling Dragon’s product in China because both Dragon and Oriental Wave’s products are sold through hospitals where Oriental Wave has greater strength with its over 1,200 sales representatives; and

•

enable the development of an international market for Oriental Wave’s pharmaceutical products because of Dragon’s strengths and experience in international regulatory affairs and selling internationally pharmaceutical products produced in China.

Complementary Management Expertise. Following the acquisition, we will combine the management team of Oriental Wave, which has extensive experience in pharmaceutical product manufacturing operation and sales and marketing in China, and that of Dragon, which has extensive experience in international regulatory affairs and international market development for pharmaceutical products from China.

Cost and Revenue Synergies. Potential cost synergies, after the acquisition, include costs saved by combining any duplicative sales teams and offices of Oriental Wave and Dragon which may cover the same market area in China and by combining the management of the manufacturing operations, marketing, human resources, supply chain management and finance operations of Dragon and Oriental Wave’s subsidiaries in China. We believe that the combination of the businesses of Oriental Wave and Dragon will enable the combined company to achieve certain cost synergies principally by integrating our respective corporate functions and business operations. We believe that Oriental Wave’s comprehensive sales network in China and Dragon’s extensive licensee networks for the international market outside of China will enable cross-selling of each other’s products to achieve higher sales than both companies could achieve on a stand-alone basis.

Capturing Multiple Growth Opportunities. A growing trend in the generic drug and bulk pharmaceutical chemical sectors of the pharmaceutical industry is the relocation of the production base for these sectors from developed countries such as Europe to developing countries such as China and India. We believe this trend is occurring to leverage the low cost environment and other specific location advantages offered in these countries. We believe that the acquisition of Oriental Wave will enable the combined company to compete more effectively and capture more global business opportunities as a result of this trend.

The foregoing discussion of information and factors considered by Dragon’s Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include the material factors considered by it. The Dragon Board did not assign relative or specific weights to the individual factors, and the individual directors may have given varying weight to different factors.

Purchase Price. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Oriental Wave shareholders will receive 68.35% of the outstanding common stock, and our current shareholders will receive 31.65% of the combined company. The ownership percentages are fixed notwithstanding potential fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.

- 28 -

During the negotiations, the parties did consider determining the purchase price based on the trading price of our common stock. However, our common stock is quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board and is thinly traded due to the limited float of common stock and the lack of institutional investors and research. As a result, the price of our common stock is highly volatile and a few trades could affect the price of our common stock even though such trades may bear no relation to our perceived value. Therefore, we believed the acquisition of Oriental Wave based upon a fixed percentage ownership was more beneficial to our shareholders.

At the time we began our initial discussions with Oriental Wave, our per share price was quoted in the range of $0.45 to $0.84 per share. We believe that had we based the purchased price based on the then current trading prices, our ownership of the combined company would be less than 31.65%. If the price of our share of common stock increased, then we may have not been required to issue as many shares of common stock to complete the acquisition. However, as previously mentioned, we did not believe that the market price is an exclusive indicator of our value. As of October 29, 2004, the closing price for a share of our common stock was $0.90.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The President and CEO of Dragon and his management team submitted various presentation packages to the Board of Directors regarding the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave, including a strategic assessment of Dragon, a discussion of the strategic advantages of acquiring Oriental Wave, an overview of the industry sectors Oriental Wave was active in, a summary of the results of the business and legal due diligence conducted on Oriental Wave, a summary of the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, management’s financial analysis related to the proposed acquisition and a business plan for the combined company. In recommending that Dragon proceed with the acquisition, management also considered and discussed with the Board the factors discussed above under “Reasons for the Acquisition.”

Based on the information provided by our management regarding the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave, Dragon’s individual Board members spent time reviewing and considering relevant data and documents and discussing matters arising out of their review. In the course of their review of the acquisition proposal, the Board of Directors on a number of occasions requested and received from management additional information on, and analysis of, the matters covered by management’s presentations. Certain members of the Board also had discussions with representatives of Oriental Wave to review certain of these matters. On May 18, 2004, a meeting of our board of directors was held to receive the report of our management on the final status of negotiations over the terms of the proposed acquisition, which included the recommendation to proceed with the acquisition.

The Board of Directors has determined that the acquisition of Oriental Wave is in the best interests of Dragon and is fair to our shareholders. Therefore the Board has approved the acquisition and recommends that shareholders of Dragon vote “FOR” approval of the issuance of our shares to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave (Proposal 1) and “FOR” the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares necessary to complete the acquisition in a single closing (Proposal 2).

The acquisition was negotiated at arm’s length and none of the Board of Directors nor any senior executives has any connection to Oriental Wave. We are not aware of any additional or unique compensation that will be received by any officer, director, major shareholder or affiliate of Dragon or Oriental Wave in connection with the acquisition.

The Board meeting held on May 18, 2004 at which the acquisition was approved was attended by four (Drs. Wick, Sun, Liu and Cai) of the five members of our Board of Directors. All four directors who attended the meeting voted in favor of the Board resolution approving the acquisition.

Certain of our directors, Messrs. Cai, Liu, Sun and Wick, have advised us that they and certain of their affiliates or other related parties intend to vote FOR the resolution to approve the acquisition and FOR the proposal to increase our authorized capital. We have been advised that this group owns or controls, in the aggregate, 8,192,500 shares of our common stock or approximately 39.8% of our outstanding shares. After the closing of the first stage of the acquisition, we will hold a controlling interest in Oriental Wave and the current Oriental Wave shareholders will hold a sufficient number of our outstanding shares to be able to guarantee shareholder approval of the increase of our authorized shares necessary to complete the acquisition.

Tax Treatment

In the opinion of Bartel Eng & Schroder, the following is the description of the United States material federal income tax consequences to Dragon and our shareholders as a result of the acquisition of Oriental Wave. It has been represented to our management that all of the shareholders of Oriental Wave are non-resident foreign shareholders, that no such shareholder has a connection to the United States and that all activities of Oriental Wave are outside the United States. Accordingly, we make no representations regarding United States tax consequences to such foreign shareholders who will receive shares of common stock of Dragon in exchange for their shares in Oriental Wave. Such foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to foreign taxes applicable to them.

The issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Oriental Wave will not cause a taxable event for either Dragon or our shareholders. When an acquiring domestic corporation, such as Dragon, issues its stock to the shareholders of a target foreign corporation, such as Oriental Wave, Section 1032 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, protects the domestic corporation from recognizing any gain.

Accounting Treatment

We must account for the acquisition of Oriental Wave as a reverse take-over transaction, as the shareholders of Oriental Wave will own the majority of the shares of the combined company after the transaction is completed, using the purchase method of accounting for financial reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis of accounting, Oriental Wave has been identified as the acquirer and, accordingly, the combined company is considered to be a continuation of the operations of Oriental Wave and include the accounts of Dragon from the acquisition date. The purchase price will be allocated to Dragon’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the completion of the acquisition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities will be adjusted for the difference between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their estimated values. The excess, if any, of the total acquisition cost over the sum of the assigned fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill and periodically evaluated for impairment. Our financial statements issued after completion of the acquisition will reflect these values. Historical data are not restated retroactively to reflect the combined historical financial position or results of operations of Dragon and Oriental Wave.

Interested Parties in the Transaction

The Share Purchase Agreement was negotiated between Dragon and the shareholders of Oriental Wave at arm’s length. None of our directors or executive officers has an interest in Oriental Wave. We are not aware of any additional or unique compensation that will be received by any officer, director, major shareholder or affiliate of Dragon or Oriental Wave in connection with the acquisition.

Resales of Dragon Common Stock

Currently, our outstanding shares of the common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “DRUG”. In addition, our shares of common stock are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “DDD” and are quoted on the Berlin-Bremen Exchange, the Frankfurt Exchange, and the XETRA Exchange under the symbol “DRP”. The shares of Dragon common stock issued to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave will be freely tradable and transferable by the shareholders of Oriental Wave subject to certain limitations described in the following paragraphs.

Shares of our common stock held by any Oriental Wave shareholder who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Dragon or Oriental Wave for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), will be subject to certain trading restrictions. Each director and executive officer of Oriental Wave is deemed to be an “affiliate” for purposes of Rule 145. Further, all shares of our common stock subsequently acquired by an

- 30 -

“affiliate” of Dragon will be subject to similar resale restrictions (under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission), regardless of how or when those shares are acquired. A legend will be placed on all certificates evidencing shares issued to “affiliates,” setting forth the above-described restrictions on transfer and appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be given to the transfer agent for our common stock with respect to such certificates. In addition, the shares of common stock to be issued to the shareholders of Oriental Wave pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement may be subject to escrow conditions imposed in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and will be subject to a four month hold period in Canada from the date of issue.

Our common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, as a result, Dragon is required to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Each director or executive officer of Oriental Wave who becomes a director or executive officer of Dragon will be required to file individual ownership reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with regard to his or her personal holdings (including purchases and sales) of shares of our common stock, so long as he or she remains a director or executive officer of Dragon.

The Share Purchase Agreement

The following is a summary of what we believe are the material provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference. The rights and obligations of the parties to this agreement, Dragon, the shareholders of Oriental Wave and Oriental Wave, are governed by the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement. We urge our shareholders to read the Share Purchase Agreement carefully and in its entirety as well as this proxy statement before making any decisions regarding the proposals.

General

The Share Purchase Agreement is dated effective June 11, 2004 and is among Dragon, Oriental Wave, and the shareholders of Oriental Wave (Mr. Yanlin Han, Mr. Zhanguo Weng and Ms. Xuemei Liu), and is supplemented by a letter agreement dated June 18, 2004. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Dragon will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in consideration for the issuance of shares of common stock of Dragon, with the result that Oriental Wave will become our wholly-owned subsidiary and Mr. Han, Mr. Weng and Ms. Liu will become shareholders of Dragon.

Consideration to be Received by Shareholders of Oriental Wave

On the closing of the acquisition, we will issue to the Oriental Wave shareholders that number of Dragon common shares which is equal to 68.35% of our issued shares of common stock after the issue of such shares (the “Dragon Closing Shares”). In addition to the Dragon Closing Shares, we will also issue to the shareholders of Oriental Wave that number of our shares of common stock (the “Additional Dragon Closing Shares”) such that the shareholders of Oriental Wave will continue to own 68.35% of our common stock if all of our outstanding options and warrants to issue our common stock are fully exercised. The 68.35% ownership percentage is fixed and is not subject to change as a result of any fluctuation in the price of Dragon’s stock. The amount of the consideration to be paid, the Dragon Shares and Additional Shares, was not determined on the basis of on the trading price of Dragon’s shares of common stock but instead was based on an agreed percentage of Dragon’s outstanding shares that will be held by the current Oriental Wave shareholders after completion of the acquisition. As at October 29, 2004, Dragon had 20,602,000 shares of common stock outstanding and obligations to issue 2,276,500 shares of common stock upon the exercise of convertible securities. Based on our outstanding shares and shares reserved for future issuance as at October 29, 2004, 44,491,207 Dragon Closing Shares and 4,916,233 Dragon Common Shares would be issued to the shareholders of Oriental Wave in exchange for all their shares in Oriental Wave. As described below under “Escrow of Shares”, certain of the Dragon Closing Shares and the Additional Dragon Closing Shares will be escrowed. The shares of our common stock issued to the Oriental Wave shareholders will be allocated among them in proportion to their ownership of the Oriental Wave shares as follows: 70% to Mr. Yanlin Han, 20% to Mr. Zhanguo Weng and 10% to Ms. Xuemei Liu.

- 31 -

If the issuance of shares in connection with the acquisition described in Proposal 1 and the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares described in Proposal 2 are both approved by shareholders, then we will complete the purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in a single stage. If the acquisition is approved by shareholders but the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares does not receive the required vote (this matter requires a majority of all outstanding shares to be voted in favor of the proposal rather than, as is the case with Proposal 1, a majority of those present) we will still be able to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave, but in two stages. Based on our outstanding shares and shares reserved for issuance as at September 30, 2004, in the first stage we would acquire 60% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave in exchange for approximately 27.12 million shares of common stock of Dragon. This number may increase if any of our outstanding options or warrants expire before closing as it is our intention to issue to the Oriental Wave shareholders the maximum number of shares we can issue at the first stage. Following this first stage of the acquisition, Dragon’s shares of common stock will be held by, or reserved for issue, as follows:


Holder	Number of Shares Outstanding		Number of Shares Reserved for Issue(1)	Total Shares Outstanding (fully diluted)	Percentage of Issued Shares
Holder	Number of Shares Outstanding		Number of Shares Reserved for Issue(1)	Total Shares Outstanding (fully diluted)	Basic(2)		Fully- Diluted(3)

(2)	Calculated based on 47,973,500 shares outstanding.

(3)	Calculated based on 50,000,000 shares outstanding.

(4)

We and the shareholders of Oriental Wave have agreed that at the first closing we will treat all of the shares issued as Dragon Closing Shares and to only deposit 5.15 million of these shares into escrow. All necessary adjustments to the ratio of Dragon Closing Shares to Additional Dragon Closing Shares and to the number of shares to be deposited into escrow will be made at the second closing.

(5)	These shares will be issued to Mr. Han, 19.16 million shares, Mr. Weng, 5.47 million shares, and Ms. Liu, 2.74 million shares.

Dragon and the shareholders of Oriental Wave may change the number of shares issued and acquired in the first stage, though we will not complete the first stage unless we acquire more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave.

- 32 -

Following the first stage of the acquisition, we will, as soon as practicable, seek shareholder approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares. This action may be approved by way of written consent signed by shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares with disclosure in compliance with the United States securities laws or considered and voted upon at a future special meeting of shareholders. The shares issued to the current controlling shareholders of Oriental Wave, will represent more than 50% of our outstanding shares. The current controlling shareholders of Oriental Wave will then hold a sufficient number of our shares to be able to guarantee shareholder approval of the increase of our authorized shares. Once the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares has occurred, we will acquire the remaining 40% minority interest in Oriental Wave held by the current shareholders of Oriental Wave. Following this second stage, Dragon’s shares of common stock would be held by, or reserved for issue, as follows:


Holder	Number of Shares Outstanding		Number of Shares Reserved for Issue(1)	Total Shares Outstanding (fully diluted)	Percentage of Issued Shares
Holder	Number of Shares Outstanding		Number of Shares Reserved for Issue(1)	Total Shares Outstanding (fully diluted)	Basic(2)		Fully- Diluted(3)

(4)	These shares are to be deposited into escrow as described below under “Escrow of Shares”. While the shares are in escrow, the shareholders of Oriental Wave have agreed not to vote the Additional Dragon Closing Shares or to accept any dividends or other distributions paid in respect of those shares.

(5)	These shares will be issued to Mr. Han, 34.21 million shares, Mr. Weng, 9.77 million shares, and Ms. Liu, 4.89 million shares.

Escrow of Shares

Upon the closing of the acquisition, 50% of the Dragon Closing Shares and all of the Additional Dragon Closing Shares will be deposited into escrow under an escrow agreement.

The Dragon Closing Shares deposited under the escrow agreement will be released from escrow over a two-year period (40% after the first year and the remaining 60% after the second year), unless a claim is made by Dragon in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the shareholders of Oriental Wave in the Share Purchase Agreement. If Dragon’s claim is determined to be valid its remedy will be limited to the return of the Dragon Closing Shares then held in escrow. This limitation will not apply if there was fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of the Oriental Wave shareholders. The Dragon Closing Shares that are in escrow at the date the claim is made will remain in escrow under the agreement until the escrow agent is directed to release the shares by way of a joint written instruction from Dragon and the Oriental Wave shareholders, an award or decision of an arbitrator or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction in a final determination. The Oriental Wave shareholders will have the right to vote the Dragon Closing Shares held in escrow.

The Additional Dragon Closing Shares will be released from escrow as the Dragon convertible securities are exercised. If any of the Dragon convertible securities expire unexercised or are otherwise cancelled, the corresponding Additional Dragon Closing Shares will be released to Dragon for cancellation. While the Additional Dragon Closing Shares are in escrow, the shareholders of Oriental Wave have agreed not to vote these shares or to accept any dividends or other distributions paid on these shares.

Conduct of Business

Each of Oriental Wave, its shareholders and Dragon have undertaken certain covenants restricting the conduct of the business of Dragon and Oriental Wave between the date of the Share Purchase Agreement and the closing of the acquisition.

Oriental Wave and its shareholders have agreed that, except to the extent permitted in or required by the Share Purchase Agreement or consented to by Dragon, from the effective date of the Share Purchase Agreement to the closing of the acquisition they will

•

except for any dividend or distribution that will be concurrently contributed back as paid-in capital, not declare any dividend on, or make other distributions in respect of any outstanding shares (or securities convertible into shares) of Oriental Wave, and

•

not make any distribution, payment or repayment to any non-arm’s length party or enter into any non-arm’s length contracts.

Dragon has agreed that, except to the extent permitted in or required by the Share Purchase Agreement or consented to by the Oriental Wave shareholders, from the date of the Share Purchase Agreement to the closing of the acquisition it will

- 34 -

No Solicitation

From the date of the Share Purchase Agreement to the closing of the acquisition, the parties will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage any expression of interest, proposal or offers from, or negotiate with, or provide information to, facilitate discussions with or otherwise co-operate in any way with, any person (other than each other) relating to the following “alternative transactions”

•

the acquisition or disposition of all or any substantial part of the issued or unissued shares of Oriental Wave, Dragon or any of their affiliates, or

•

any arrangement, amalgamation, merger, sale of assets, take-over bid, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or winding-up of, or other business combination or similar transaction involving Oriental Wave, Dragon or any of their affiliates and any other party,

provided, however, that Dragon may respond to a proposal for, and complete, an alternative transaction if the board of directors of Dragon believes in good faith that they have a fiduciary duty to do so on the basis that such a transaction may result in a transaction materially more favorable to Dragon or, if applicable, its shareholders, than the acquisition of Oriental Wave.

The parties have agreed to immediately notify each other, in writing, upon receipt of any expression of interest, proposal or offer from any person relating to any alternative transaction and will forthwith disclose to the other parties all relevant details thereof. None of the Oriental Wave shareholders or Oriental Wave will respond to such expression of interest, proposal or offer (except to decline it) but Dragon may respond as noted above.

Stock Exchange Listing And Approvals

Our common stock is quoted or listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Berlin-Bremen Exchange, the Frankfurt Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange and the XETRA Exchange. By trading volume in 2004, the primary market for our common stock is the OTC Bulletin Board (82.6% of volume), followed by the Berlin-Bremen Exchange (12.3% of volume), the Frankfurt Exchange (3.0%), the Toronto Stock Exchange (1.9% of volume) and the XETRA Exchange (0.1% of volume).

No approvals are required from the NASD, the principal regulator of the OTC Bulletin Board, in order for us to complete the acquisition of Oriental Wave. As the Berlin-Bremen, Frankfurt and XETRA stock exchanges list shares at the request of participating broker-dealer members rather than solely on an application from an issuer, we are not required to make any filings with or seek the approval of these exchanges in connection with our proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave. After the acquisition of Oriental Wave our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our primary market, and we expect will also continue to be quoted on the Berlin-Bremen, Frankfurt and XETRA stock exchanges.

With respect to the Toronto Stock Exchange, we have filed an application for approval of the acquisition of Oriental Wave but have not yet completed all filings nor have we had the transaction reviewed by the listings committee of that stock exchange. If we obtain shareholder approval to the proposals to approve the issuance of the common stock and to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, and we wish to close the transaction and maintain our listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, we will be required to meet all conditions imposed by that stock exchange before closing. The Toronto Stock Exchange regards the proposed transaction as a reverse takeover transaction. As a result, we have been advised that as a condition of obtaining the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange to the proposed acquisition, we must satisfy the exchange’s original listing requirements. While we are currently in the process of attempting to satisfy these requirements, as at the date of this proxy statement, we have not satisfied the exchange’s original listing requirements and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. One of the requirements is that a member broker of the Toronto Stock Exchange sponsor our listing as a company combined with Oriental Wave. We are currently interviewing firms to serve as a sponsor and to issue a report. No assurance can be given that we will receive a sponsorship report or that the approval of the listings committee, if granted, will be received by the time we wish to close the acquisition. If we choose to close the transaction without having completed all the requirements imposed by the Toronto Stock Exchange, this may result in our shares no longer being listed on that stock exchange. In that case, we will seek an additional listing on another exchange if we believe that will be beneficial to our shareholders. The loss of our listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange will not affect the listing of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, which will remain our primary market. The Toronto Stock Exchange is reviewing the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave to determine compliance with its rules and policies, but does not pass upon the merits of the proposed acquisition.

Comparison Of Shareholder Rights

Dragon is incorporated under and subject to the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”), its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Oriental Wave is incorporated under and subject to the provisions of the British Virgin Islands International Business Companies Ordinance, 1984 (“BVI IBC”), its Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. Under the BVI IBC, the owners of Oriental Wave shares are referred to as “members” but for purposes of this discussion we will refer to the share owners as “shareholders.” Upon consummation of the proposed acquisition of Oriental Wave, the shareholders of Oriental Wave will become shareholders of Dragon. Although we do not believe that the rights and terms associated with the shares to be issued to the Oriental Wave shareholders are more or less advantageous than the Oriental Wave shares currently held by such shareholders, there are differences which are described below.

The following is a general comparison of similarities and material differences between the rights of Dragon and Oriental Wave shareholders under their respective governing law and charter documents. This discussion is only a summary of selected provisions and is not a complete description of all of the similarities and differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the FBCA, the full text of the Dragon Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the BVI IBC, the Oriental Wave Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association.

As a public company, Dragon is also subject to the periodic and other reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Dragon is also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to such Act.

Capital Structure

Dragon. Dragon has 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $.001 par value. The shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights or pre-emptive rights.

Any increases in Dragon’s authorized capital require shareholder and director approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

Oriental Wave. Oriental Wave has 50,000 authorized shares, $1.00 par value. The shares do not carry cumulative voting rights or pre-emptive rights. Under the BVI IBC, fractional shares may be issued and shares may be issued for such amount as may be determined by the board of directors except in the case of shares with par value the consideration may not be less than par value.

The Oriental Wave Articles of Association provide that the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least one-third of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote will constitute quorum for the transaction of business.

Voting Rights of Shareholder

Dragon. Under the FBCA each shareholder of record is entitled to vote the shares registered in its name. However, shares of public companies are frequently held in nominee names, including clearing agencies, broker-dealers or banks, and voted through a series of proxies. The Dragon Bylaws provide that each outstanding share is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of a meeting of shareholders. Proposed actions are approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter unless otherwise provided by law.

Upon the corporation’s refusal of a request, the shareholder may, before the expiration of a 90 day period after receiving notice of the refusal, apply to a court for an order to allow inspection.

Information About Dragon

Overview

We are a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company whose business plan is to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products and market pharmaceutical products in China and internationally. In 1999, we acquired a 75% interest in a drug manufacturing company called Nanjing Huaxin Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. located in Nanjing City, China. We are using our technology to produce drugs such as Erythropoietin (“EPO”). Our strategy is to use our biotechnological expertise to produce and market pharmaceutical products primarily in China and developing countries at a competitive cost and enter the market of developed countries with licensees when the patent situation allows it. We acquired the remaining 25% interest in Nanjing Huaxin in January 2002.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Allwin Biotrade Inc., we have entered into a series of marketing and license agreements. In general, Allwin Biotrade enters into an exclusive or non-exclusive marketing and license agreement with locally-based pharmaceutical distribution companies to sell, formulate, vial and package our EPO outside of China. A “locally based pharmaceutical distribution company” refers to the type of licensee or company that licenses and distributes our products in a specifically assigned market area or territory. We generally chooses a licensee that is specialized in distribution of pharmaceutical products with a physical presence in the market area or territory in consideration. In most cases the local pharmaceutical distribution company is responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all registrations or approvals required from applicable regulatory authorities in order to permit the sale of our EPO in the licensed territory. The local pharmaceutical distribution company generally is granted a right of first refusal for the sale of additional biotechnological or pharmaceutical drugs for which we may from time to time have right to license or sublicense. The marketing and license agreements range from five to seven years, and are subject to renewals. Currently, Allwin Biotrade has marketing and license agreements covering 134 countries.

One locally-based pharmaceutical distributor had 3%, 13% and 12%, and another locally-base distributor had 0%, 13% and 4%, of our total sales for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. We do not believe that we are substantially dependent on anyone locally-based distributor and could find a replacement distributor if one of our distributors encountered problems.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Summary

Our primary revenues are derived from the sale of EPO in and outside of China. We sell our EPO outside of China through marketing and license agreements that cover a number of countries. Before selling our EPO in those countries, we must obtain all required regulatory approvals. The regulatory applications are filed by our local distributor. The time of approval will vary from country to country. We recognize revenues from the sale of our EPO when it is shipped to the customer at which time the customer is responsible for the EPO. Once the sale has occurred, we do not accept the return of our EPO.

Sales of EPO in China increased during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. During the first part of 2003, we revised our sales compensation structure, but unfortunately, that revised structure did not provide enough incentives to drive sales of our products. During the latter part of

- 41 -

2003, we revised our compensation structure to make it more commission based, which led to an increase in sales. Sales of EPO outside of China decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2003. We had greater EPO sales during the six months ended June 30, 2003 outside of China because we sold EPO at a lower price due to the anticipated expiration of the shelf life of certain of our inventory. In anticipation of regulatory approval to sell our EPO in Brazil in 2001, we began packaging and building up our EPO inventory. However, we experienced delays in obtaining regulatory approval to sell our EPO in that country. Although we finally received regulatory approval in Brazil, the delay in obtaining such approval decreased the shelf life of our EPO. In order to reduce our inventory, we reduced our EPO sales price to make EPO sales in Brazil and other countries that adversely affected our profit margin for during the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a result of our experience, we will not produce our products and build up our inventory in anticipation of regulatory approval to sell our products in a specific country.

Sales of EPO during the year ended December 31, 2003 substantially decreased from the prior year. Sales during the year ended December 31, 2002 included a one-time bulk sale of EPO for research purposes in the amount of $3,700,000. No similar sale occurred during 2003. As discussed above, sales outside of China increased during the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the reduction in selling price for our product to reduce our inventory and make our EPO more affordable to more customers and hence increase the sales volume. However the reduced selling price had an adverse effect on profit margin. Sales of EPO during the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased from the prior year primary related to the bulk sale of EPO in 2002. The decrease in sales can be also attributed to in part to our competitors reducing their price for their products, the SARS epidemic adversely affecting a patient’s ability and willingness to seek purchases of our products and the reorganization of our sales force compensation structure which adversely affected our sales.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was $637,427 and $970,452, respectively. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $1,994,734 and $5,250,946, respectively. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased from the same period of the prior year primarily due to increased sales of EPO, an increase in gross profit and a reduction in general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of the shutting down of certain offices in China and Hong Kong, and the reduction of salary expenses. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased from the prior year primarily due to an increase in the gross profit margin, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses consisting of a reduction of rent due to the shutting down of certain offices and reduction in salary expenses. In addition, we wrote-off $3,290,000 due from a related party and incurred expenses of $2,100,000 related to the development of insulin, C-CSF and rhTPO drugs. We did not incur similar expenses in 2003.

Until we can increase our sales, we will continue to incur losses. At June 30, 2004, we had working capital of $4,414,102 and we have no major capital commitments in the near term. We will finance our operations primarily through EPO sales supplemented with working capital. We believe that we have sufficient working capital to meet our needs for the next 12 months.

Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2004 as compare to the Six Months ended June 30, 2003

Sales. Sales are generated from the sale of EPO in China by our subsidiary, Nanjing Huaxin, and throughout the developing world by our subsidiary, Allwin Biotrade. Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 were $1,786,415 compared to $1,672,009 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Sales in and outside of China were $1,359,515 and $426,900, respectively, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Sales during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were $1,031,242 in China and $640,767 outside of China. Sales in China increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 due to our implementing a more commission-based sales compensation plan during the latter part of the year ended December 31, 2003. During the first part of the six months ended June 30, 2003, our compensation structure was more salary-based which did not provide sufficient incentives to our sales force. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales outside of China decreased compared to the same period of the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, because the shelf-life of certain of our EPO product inventory was about to expire, we decreased the price of this product in order to encourage sales. Although sales increase during the six months ended June 30, 2003, the price reduction reduced our profit margin.

- 42 -

Cost of sales for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 of $441,497 is attributed to the production costs of our pharmaceutical products. The cost of sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was $528,269. The gross profit margin was 75% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 68% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. The lower profit margin during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 reflects price reductions in sales price for certain of our products that we were required to sell due the anticipated expiration dates of such products reducing the 68% gross margin from the normal overall gross margin of 75%-80%

Interest income is related primarily to interest earned on cash received from the private placement of common stock during the third quarter of 2001 and cash from operations. Interest and other income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was $26,189 compared to $16,819 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Interest income increased during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period for the prior year primarily due to a marginally increase in interest rates.

Expenses. Total operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 were $2,008,534 consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,462,937, depreciation and amortization of $358,854, research and development expenses of $152,007, new market development of $12,404, provision for bad debt of $20,816 and interest expense of $1,516.

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of $628,330 in selling expenses, rent of $168,101, salaries and benefits of $390,471, travel costs of $83,883, insurance of $23,904 and legal fees of $38,718. In addition, we incurred development expenses of $152,007 and a bad debt provision of $20,816.

Comparatively, total operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were $2,131,011 consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,692,302, depreciation and amortization of $369,195, new market development of $23,713, provision for bad debt of $41,412 and interest expense of $4,389.

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of selling expenses of $793,339, rent of $212,111, salaries and benefits of $389,978, $100,393 in travel costs, and insurance of $37,708. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were management fees of $40,000 paid to a director for services. No similar payment was made during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $229,365 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Selling expenses decreased as a result of sales staff reductions and implementation of a commission-based compensation structure. Other reductions occurred in administrative salaries as our personnel levels have decreased as we streamlined operations, rent through the closure of our Beijing and Hong Kong representative offices and diligently pursued cutting costs in all areas where practical. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 we incurred fees for management services to related parties. No management fees were paid to directors for services during the first six months of 2004. This reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period for the prior year was partially offset by an increase in legal fees related to entering into a settlement agreement with Dr. Liu.

Depreciation and fixed assets and amortization of license and permit and land-use rights of $358,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $369,195 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 remained relatively the same as we did not acquired significant assets or licenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Further during the six months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred research and development fees of $152,007 related to our proposed EPO product to be offered in Europe. In general, it is our policy to expense research and development costs. No similar expense was incurred during the same period for the prior year.

New market development expense decrease by $11,309 from $23,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $12,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was due to fewer new EPO dosages or indications being introduced in 2004. In addition, the provision for doubtful debts decreased by $20,596 from $41,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $20,816 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to our tightening of our credit policy in China. Finally, interest expense decreased by $2,873 from $4,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,516 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the payoff certain loans in early 2003.

Net and Comprehensive Loss. We had a net loss and a comprehensive loss of $637,427 for the six months period ending June 30, 2004. Our net and comprehensive loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2003 was $970,452.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share. Our net loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. The loss per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was $0.03 compared to a loss of $0.05 per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and common stock warrants have been excluded from the net loss per share calculations as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

Sales. Sales were derived primarily from the sale of EPO. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $3,648,149 compared to sales of $7,362,248 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Sales in and outside of

- 43 -

China were $2,258,747 and $1,389,402 respectively during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $3,002,898 and $4,359,350, respectively during the year ended December 31, 2002. Sales during 2002 outside of China included delivery of a $3.7 million order to one customer used for new drug research and development. No similar sale occurred in 2003. Sales inside China decreased during the year ended December 31, 2003 from the prior year. We believe that the implementation of a new sales compensation structure adversely affected our sales during the year 2003. That sales compensation structure was terminated during the latter part of 2003.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,184,896 compared to $978,637 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of our pharmaceutical products. The gross profit margin was 68% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 87% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2002 was higher than the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily due to the large profit margin attributed to the one time bulk sale of EPO for new drug research and development. The gross margin from that one-time bulk sale was approximately 89%. In addition, the profit margin decreased during the year ended December 31, 2003 due to our price reduction of certain of our products due their anticipated expiration date.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we had interest and other income of $138,802. Interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $146,989. Interest income is related primarily to interest earned on cash received from sales and the private placements of common stock during the third quarter of 2001. Interest income decreased during the year ended December 31, 2003 from the prior year primarily due to less cash balances attributed to a decrease in sales and incurring losses during the 2003 year.

Expenses. Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $4,552,789 consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,391,430, depreciation and amortization of $743,080, write off of land-use right and property and equipment of $165,912, new market and EPO development expenses related to entering the European Market of $216,560, provision for bad debt of $29,450 and interest expense of $6,357.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,391,430 primarily consisted of selling expenses of $1,527,672, office and miscellaneous expenses of $105,792, legal and auditing of $159,094, rent of $377,134, travel of $224,072 and salaries and benefits of $809,266. Also included in selling, general, and administrative expenses were $40,000 in fees paid to a director who provided consulting services. These fees were terminated during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002, were $8,364,643 consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,033,789, depreciation and amortization of $736,361, write off of land-use right and property and equipment of $6,731, new market development of $200,109, provision for bad debt of $216,709, loan interest expense of $70,944, the development of insulin, G-CSF and rhTPO of $2,100,000. In addition, the company wrote down the amount owing from a related party from the Hepatitis B Vaccine Project by $3,289,900.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,033,789 primarily consisted of selling expenses of $2,094,820, office and miscellaneous expenses of $213,657, legal and auditing of $156,646, rent of $394,004, travel of $456,427, salaries and benefits of $587,515, consulting fees of $533,270, and management fees of $247,968 including $192,500 paid to two directors for services during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decrease by $1,642,359 during the year ended December 31, 2003 from the prior year ended December 31, 2002 primarily due to the closure of our representative offices in Hong Kong and Beijing. In addition, we reduced our administrative staff in our Vancouver, British Columbia office. This had the effect of reducing selling expense, rent and related salaries and benefits at those offices. Travel expenses also decreased due to a more restrictive travel policy. We also reduced the number of our consultants during the year ended December 31, 2003 to further reduce expenses. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2002, we incurred management fees of $192,500 paid to two directors. These payments ceased during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of license and permit remained relatively the same of $743,080 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $736,361 for the year ended December 31, 2002. We made no significant acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2003.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we wrote off land-use right and property and equipment of $165,912 compared to $6,731 during the prior year 2002. The write-off during the year ended December 31, 2003 was primarily related to equipment no longer in use.

New market development relates to marketing of potential new dosages of our EPO product and remained relatively the same for the years 2003 and 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, these expenses amounted to $216,560 compared to $200,109 for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Provision for doubtful accounts significantly decreased from $216,709 during the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $29,450 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The provision for doubtful accounts decreased during the year ended December 31, 2003 as we tightened our credit policy in China.

Loan interest expense also decreased during the year ended December 31, 2003. Loan interest expense was $70,944 during the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $6,357 for the year ended December 31, 2003. During the early part of the year ended December 31, 2003, we paid off certain loans which reduced the interest expense for that year.

Finally, during the year ended December 31, 2002, we spent $2,100,000 to purchase the rights to develop of insulin, G-CSF and rhTPO from an affiliate of Longbin Liu, one of our directors which was expensed during the year. In addition, we wrote down $3,289,900 of an amount owing from an affiliate control by Longbin Liu, related to the Hepatitis B Vaccine project due the concerns of our ability to collect on the debt and lack of collateral. No similar expenses were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2003.

Net and Comprehensive Loss. We incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $2,089,536 compared to operating income of $118,968 for the year ended December 31, 2002. We had net losses of $1,994,734 and $5,250,946, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

- 44 -

years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $0.10 and $0.26. Common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and common stock warrants have been excluded from the net loss per share calculations as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company that manufactures and markets pharmaceutical products in China through our 100% equity interest in Nanjing Huaxin. Previously, we raised funds through equity financings to fund our operations and to provide working capital. We may finance future operations through additional equity financings.

As of June 30, 2004, we had $2,608,594 in cash available. This cash, the $1,407,671 in accounts receivable and anticipated sales will be used to fund ongoing operations and research and development. Working capital was $4,414,102 at June 30, 2004. We have no long term liabilities.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred losses of $637,427 and will continue to incur losses until sales of our products increase. We will continue to fund our operations through sales, and any deficit will be supplemented by our working capital.

Dragon’s Primary Products

Erythropoietin or EPO. Our primary product is EPO, a glycoprotein that stimulates and regulates the rate of formation of red blood cells. In adult humans, EPO is produced by the kidneys and acts on precursor cells to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation into mature red blood cells. Kidney disease and chemotherapy or radiation therapy for treating cancer may impair the body’s ability to produce EPO and, in turn, reduce the level of red blood cells to less than one-half that of healthy humans. The shortage of red blood cells leads to insufficient delivery of oxygen throughout the body. The result is anemia, which symptoms include fatigue and weakness.

One of the treatments for anemia is to provide EPO protein. This treatment is administered through dialysis tubing or by injection approximately three times per week. EPO is most commonly administered to people with chronic renal failure, HIV patients being treated with anti-viral drugs, and cancer patients on chemo or radiation therapy. The treatment is less dangerous and generates fewer adverse side effects than alternative treatments that include blood transfusions and androgen therapy. However, side effects of EPO may include hypertension, headaches, shortness of breath, diarrhea, rapid heart rate and nausea.

While EPO has been tested to be effective in treating anemia and had world-wide sales of over $9 billion in 2003, there are other drugs and treatments currently that exist or are in development that can treat anemia. These alternative drugs or treatments could be proven more effective, less expensive or preferable to customers than EPO. The inability of EPO to compare favorably to these alternative drugs could have an adverse affect on our business.

Slow-Release EPO. In April 2001, we entered into an agreement related to the development of a slow-release formulation for EPO with Transworld Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Inc., or Transworld Pharmaceuticals, and Toray Trading Corp, or Toray, an affiliate of Renapharm Corporation, or Renapharm.

The agreement provides us with sole world-wide manufacturing rights as well as exclusive marketing rights to Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Transworld Pharmaceuticals, an international distributor of blood related products and biotechnology drugs and our licensee for EPO in a large number of countries, has exclusive marketing rights to all markets outside Asia. We will also be responsible, at our expense, for obtaining all regulatory approvals needed in order to permit the manufacture and sale of a product in the agreed market area.

The agreement has a term of 10 years and provides Transworld pharmaceuticals and Toray with royalties equal to 5% of our net sales in China and 7% of net sales elsewhere, subject to adjustment each December 31 as agreed by the parties.

Our partners are conducting a pilot clinical trial with 101 patients at the University Hospital, Uppsala University in Sweden, assessed the monthly administration of EPO in this slow release formulation compared to the four times per week administration of conventional EPO. The total dose of each form of EPO was identical. The results of the study showed that monthly administration of the slow release formulation had the same therapeutic effect as four times per week conventional EPO with the added advantage of requiring less frequent injections. Although clinical trial results to date indicated that EPO in slow release formulation initially shows the same therapeutic effect as conventional EPO, such results may not be indicative of definitive results upon completion of all clinical trials. We have contributed EPO bulk material produced by our subsidiary, Nanjing Huaxin Bio-Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., for use in the trials.

The potential market for sustained release or long-lasting EPO is in the treatment of anemia in patients with kidney failure and cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Before the expiration in late 2004 of the EPO gene patent, generic forms of EPO may only be sold in non-patent covered markets outside North America, the European Union, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Given that our slow-release formulation incorporates our generic EPO, initial sales will focus on markets in the developing world that do not extend patent protection to the EPO gene patent holder. After 2004, we expect that our slow-release formulation will be eligible for marketing world-wide, excluding North America.

We plan to proceed with preclinical studies following which we will file a submission seeking permission to begin clinical trials in China. Three pilot batches have been manufactured using EPO bulk material from Nanjing Huaxin and are now undergoing stability testing. The formulation will be put through a full development process if certain criteria are met. According to our agreement, each partner will participate in the final development of the formulation. Dr. Bo Danielson MD, PhD, Managing Director of Renapharm and developer of this slow-release formulation, will serve as lead clinical and technical advisor to the project. Dr. Danielson is recognized as a world expert on EPO, having participated in over 75 published clinical studies involving EPO.

Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor or G-CSF. G-CSF stimulates the bone marrow to produce neotrophils, or leukocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection and disease. G-CSF is a complementary product to EPO. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Allwin Biotrade, Inc., we have entered into an agreement with Jiangsu Wuzhong Industry Co. Ltd., or Wuzhong, and Suzhou Zhongkai Bio-pharmaceuticals, or Suzhou Zongkai, that grants us the exclusive right to distribute their G-CSF product world-wide, excluding China.

The agreement was entered into in March 2004 and has an initial term of 10 years with automatic two year terms thereafter, unless terminated earlier by any of the parties before the end of the then current term. This agreement provides for joint development of a marketing plan and set pricing for the product with discounts based on the amounts sold. We also have the right to enter into sublicensing agreements so that other parties may assist in the regulatory approval process and for marketing and selling the product.

Terminated Programs. As a result of certain agreements entered into with Dr. Liu, one of our directors, and a company owned by Dr. Liu, Dragon had been working on the development of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and human insulin. We also entered into an agreement with a company whose sole shareholders were Dr. Liu and Mr. Yuen, also one of our directors, for development of a vaccine for Hepatitis B. After reviewing estimates of the time and capital required to complete, a determination was made to terminate these programs.

Dragon entered into an agreement with Dr. Liu and Novagen, a company controlled by Dr. Liu, to develop the G-CSF gene. The G-CSF program was terminated without cost to Dragon.

Human insulin is a peptide hormone that is secreted by cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, and plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis (i.e. balancing the level of glucose in the blood). Dragon entered into a research agreement with Dr. Liu to develop human insulin. This program has been terminated and a comprehensive agreement entered into with Dr. Liu to refund Dragon for a portion of the development costs previously paid (see “Legal Proceedings”).

- 46 -

Hepatitis B is a viral disease that causes both acute and chronic hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). Technology for this vaccine was acquired from a corporation owned by Dr. Liu and Mr. Yuen. On the termination of this program, Dr. Liu exercised certain rights to repurchase the Hepatitis B vaccine project for the original purchase price of $4 million of which $500,000 was paid and the balance of $3.5 million, plus interest accruing at 6% per annum, was to be repaid on September 5, 2003. The $3.5 million owed by Dr. Liu to us is unsecured. We have requested that Dr. Liu provide collateral for the amount due to us; however, Dr. Liu, while reaffirming his intention to abide by the terms of the amended agreement and pay the amount owing plus accrued interest, has declined to do so. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2002, we wrote down the full amount due to us less a nominal amount of $100 and later commenced legal action against him. A comprehensive agreement has been reached with Dr. Liu on the amount owing related to this project, see “Information About Dragon - Legal Proceedings”.

Product Approval Process for EPO outside of China

Dragon currently seeks registrations and government approval in countries where EPO is not protected by a patent; for the most part these are jurisdictions outside of North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the 15 nations of the European Union.

A critical pre-requisite for seeking registration for rHu erythropoietin in countries outside of China is the product approval obtained in China by Dragon in 1996. Subsequently, the State Food and Drug Administration of China, or SFDA, has issued further regulatory certificates to Dragon: a Free Sales Certificate, or FSC, and a certification of Good Manufacturing Practices, or CGMP. Dragon presents these documents to ministries of health in other countries as proof that Dragon’s facilities, processes, materials and the approved product comply with generally accepted international standards.

Dragon’s regulatory affairs, or RA, staff work with their counterparts at licensee companies to assemble all necessary documentation, together with the FSC and CGMP, for regulatory submission to the licensee’s local ministry of health. Additional documentation submitted consists of a World Health Organization, standard drug master file, or DMF, and a site master file, or SMF. In most cases, samples of the finished product are also submitted for laboratory analysis by the local ministry of health.

The DMF includes documentation on the drug’s development process, materials used, safety and efficacy data, and information on the manufacturing processes and their associated quality control / quality assurance steps. The SMF describes Dragon’s manufacturing premises, personnel, and control and validation systems. It may also provide records of site audits by the SFDA as well as foreign government inspectors.

After submission, the registration effort is supported by Dragon’s RA staff through timely response to queries and requests for clarification or additional documentation from the licensee’s local ministries of health. This is generally a continuing process, and it is expedited chiefly by issuing responses that are accurate, complete, and timely. In some cases, the local ministries of health may request permission to conduct their own audit and inspection of Dragon’s facilities, as an additional measure of due diligence. In each case, Dragon grants these requests.

Depending on the speed at which the licensee’s local ministries of health are able to conduct a review of the documentation and issue a recommendation for approval, the registration process may take as little as two months or as long as two years. Subsequent to formal issuance of government approval, Dragon’s licensee may then seek to begin import, sales and distribution of the product.

Product Registration Process for Pharmaceutical Products in China

Regulations on the registration of pharmaceutical products (“Registration Regulations”) in China promulgated by the the SFDA in October 2002 and with effect from 1 December 2002 provide the legal framework for the administration of the registration of pharmaceutical products. Pursuant to the Registration Regulations, all the pharmaceutical products proposed to be launched in China market are required to be registered and obtain an approved pharmaceutical number granted by the SFDA. At this time, we have our EPO product approved by the SFDA in China and there is no other pending application for any other pipeline products.

- 47 -

Registration procedures

The procedures for application for registration of pharmaceutical products can be generally divided into the following stages:

1. after completion of the pre-clinical research of the pharmaceutical products, application for registration of the pharmaceutical products shall be submitted to the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level for review. In addition, the applicant of the registration of pharmaceutical productss should provide the sample products of the pharmaceutical products to the China Examination Bureau of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products (the “China Examination Bureau”). China Examination Bureau will arrange for the conduct of examination of the sample products supplied by the relevant medicine examination institutes which will then issue the examination result report. The drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level after completion of its review may submit its opinion and report to the SFDA for review;

2. if all the requirements are complied with, the SFDA will issue a notice of acceptance and proceed with its assessment on whether to grant the approval for conducting the clinical research on the pharmaceutical products;

3. after obtaining the approval for conducting the clinical research by the SFDA, the applicant may proceed with the relevant clinical research (which is generally divided into three phases for pharmaceutical productss under the Registration Regulations) at institutions with appropriate qualification;

4. after completion of the relevant clinical research, the applicant shall submit its clinical research report together with the relevant supporting documents to the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level;

5. the drug regulatory authorities at the provincial level shall then review the relevant documents, conduct site inspection, sample examination and thereafter submit its opinion, inspection reports and other application materials to the SFDA for review; and

6. if all the regulations are complied with, a certificate of pharmaceutical products and a pharmaceutical approval number will be granted by the SFDA.

Manufacturing and Facilities

Our corporate administrative office is located at 1055 West Hastings, Suite 1900, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 2E9. Our lease on this 6,432 square feet premise expires in March 2007. Nanjing Huaxin currently leases a 90,000 square feet production facility in Nanjing, China at 293-2 Zhong Shan East Road, Nanjing, China. The lease on this premise expires in June 2009.

The development and manufacture of EPO requires a license and permit from State Food and Drug Administration in China. Our subsidiary, Nanjing Huaxin, currently is licensed to make and sell EPO for kidney dialysis applications and for surgery patients. The license remains valid until August 18, 2005, and is renewable at that time. There are no restrictions on the license or permits other than the requirement that the EPO drug be manufactured in compliance with Chinese Good Manufacturing Practices, and the drug may be sold only for authorized medical purposes, such as anemia.

Intellectual Property

Our technology is not protected by any patents or copyrights nor do we intend to seek any such protection. We require all our research employees to sign confidentiality agreements regarding their work. However, without patent or copyright protection, we may not be able to prevent duplication of our technology by competitors.

We have received legal advice that the development, production and marketing of EPO in China is not subject to U.S. patents currently held by Kirin-Amgen because no corresponding patent was filed in China. Also, no administrative protection has been filed on EPO with the Chinese government authorities by Kirin-Amgen. In addition, we do not anticipate that any such patent or administrative protections will be imposed by U.S.-China

- 48 -

agreements on intellectual property. As a result, we have not sought to obtain any rights or licensing from patent holders for the production or marketing of EPO in China. However, there is no assurance that U. S. patent holders or licensees may not attempt to assert claims of patent infringement in order to curtail or prevent our production and sale of EPO in China.

Competition

We have estimated that the world market for EPO to be approximately $9 billion in annual sales and believe the market is growing. The market is dominated by three firms: Amgen Inc. of Thousand Oaks, California; Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. of New Brunswick, New Jersey; and Kirin Brewery Company Limited of Japan. EPO is marketed by Amgen as “Epogen,” by Johnson & Johnson as “Procrit/Eprex” and by Kirin as “Espo.” A fourth participant in the international EPO market is Roche Holding AG of Switzerland, which markets an EPO drug with a different heritage.

Amgen was granted United States rights to market EPO under a licensing agreement with Kirin-Amgen, Inc., a joint venture between Kirin and Amgen that was established in 1984. Johnson & Johnson acquired the rights to EPO from Kirin-Amgen for all treatments except kidney dialysis in the United States and for all uses outside the United States in 1985. Both Amgen and Kirin individually manufacture and market EPO for China and Japan. These international drug companies all have more financial resources than we do.

In addition to these international drug companies, we are competing with existing and potential Chinese producers such as Sunshine SS Pharma and Sinogen. Many of our competitors may have greater financial, technical and manufacturing resources than we have. These resources would allow our competitors to respond more quickly to new or emerging advances in the drug industry and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products.

Due to the Chinese growing market for pharmaceutical products, competition among drug producers is expected to increase during 2004. We anticipate that the EPO producers with the strongest marketing networks, best quality and price, and highest market shares will survive to service the EPO market in China. We believe we have established the necessary organization in China to meet this competitive challenge.

Potential competition in the EPO market includes other products or technologies that are successful in treating anemia. Amgen has sole right to Novel Erythropoiesis Stimulating Protein, a second-generation EPO molecule that will pose serious competition to the existing products because it offers the possibility of less frequent dosing (i.e., once a week rather than three times a week).

In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that could increase their ability to reach customers in the Chinese market. Such existing and future competition could affect our ability to penetrate the Chinese market and generate sales. No assurances can be given that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business.

- 49 -

Human Resources

As of June 30, 2004, we had 11 employees in North America. We have approximately 150 employees in China, the majority of whom are involved in the production and sales and marketing of EPO in China. No key employee of Dragon or its subsidiaries has signed any employment contract. To our knowledge, no key employee of Dragon or its subsidiaries has any plan to leave the company in the near future or after the completion of the proposed acquisition. None of our workforce is unionized and there have not been any labor disputes.

Legal Proceedings

On November 2003, we filed a complaint against Dr. Longbin Liu, a current member of our Board of Directors and our former Chairman, for payment of $3,500,000, plus interest calculated at 6% per annum, due on September 5, 2003, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement related to the Hepatitis B Vaccine Project.

On April 4, 2004, Dragon, Dr. Longbin Liu and Novagen Holding Inc., a company controlled by Dr. Liu, entered into a comprehensive agreement to settle the amount owed to us by Dr. Liu as a result of his acquisition of the Hepatitis B Vaccine Project. The settlement agreement provides that the Hepatitis B Vaccine Project and the Patent and Project Development agreements, both dated January 14, 2002, as amended, have been cancelled. Further, pursuant to the settlement agreement, the G-CSF, human insulin and Hepatitis B Vaccine Projects, including rights of ownership and development obligations would revert to Dr. Liu. In exchange, Dr Liu will pay to us $5,010,000. All amounts are due on December 31, 2004 and Dr. Liu has agreed to provide 2,600,000 shares of common stock of Dragon, to be held in escrow, as security for the amounts owing. Of these shares, 2,231,000 have been placed in escrow as of June 30, 2004. The closing price for a share of our common stock on June 30, 2004 was $1.00, which places a value of $2,231,000 on the shares as of that date. The warrants granted to Dr. Liu under the Patent Development agreement were cancelled.

History and Development of Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida:

The current pharmaceutical operations of Shanxi Weiqida were largely formed and organized through the acquisition of assets from three Chinese companies. Two of these acquisitions were completed out of bankruptcy procedures of state-owned pharmaceutical companies.

Shanxi Weiqida was formed in January 2002 as a Chinese domestic company, owned by Mr. Han, the Chairman of Oriental Wave and Mr. Weng, a director of Oriental Wave. At the time it was established, Shanxi Weiqida acquired, for no cost, from Shanxi Tongling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Shanxi Tongling, all drug production permits, GMP certificates and product licenses of Datong No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory, or Datong No. 2 Pharmaceutical. The assets of Datong No. 2 Pharmaceutical were acquired by Shanxi Tongling in June 2001 out of bankruptcy for RMB 42.3 million, or approximately US $5.1 million. Shanxi Tongling was founded in 1994 by Mr. Yanlin Han, Chairman of Oriental Wave.

In April 2002 Shanxi Weiqida acquired from Shanxi Tongzhen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Shanxi Tongzhen, all of its product licenses and production permits in consideration for assuming approximately RMB 6.7 million, or approximately US $0.8 million, of bank debt upon the liquidation of Shanxi Tongzhen.

In June 2002, Shanxi Weiqida purchased the assets relating to a capsules and injectables production line, including certain equipment, inventory, receivables and product licenses and related production permits, from Aurobindo Tongling (Datong) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Aurobindo Tongling (Datong), for consideration of approximately RMB 33.75 million, or approximately US $4.1 million. At the time of the transaction, Mr. Yanlin Han, Chairman and controlling shareholder of Oriental Wave, was also the Chairman of Aurobindo Tongling (Datong).

In August 2002, the control of Shanxi Weiqida was transferred to Canadian First Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Canadian First Pharmaceutical, and Shanxi Weiqida was re-established as a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise under Chinese Law. Canadian First Pharmaceutical was controlled by Mr. Yanlin Han, Chairman and controlling shareholder of Oriental Wave. As a result, Canadian First Pharmaceutical became the holding company of Shanxi Weiqida and had no other operations or business other than Shanxi Weiqida. In March 2003, Canadian First Pharmaceutical transferred its entire ownership in Shanxi Weiqida to Oriental Wave. Oriental Wave has no other operations or business other than Shanxi Weiqida.

In September 2002, Shanxi Weiqida acquired out of bankruptcy all assets of Datong Pharmaceutical Factory, or Datong Pharmaceutical, a state-owned enterprise, including the land use rights of Datong Pharmaceutical. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement entered into with the Datong Economic Committee of the Datong Municipal Government, Shanxi Weiqida acquired the assets in consideration for assuming all liabilities related to the employees of Datong Pharmaceutical. The agreement requires Shanxi Weiqida to pay the former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical certain minimum wages and health care costs until the date of their re-employment, retirement or death, whichever occurs first. Shanxi Weiqida has arranged for the re-employment or retirement of approximately 66% of the Datong Pharmaceutical employees and expects to rehire the remaining balance once the 7-ACA facility is fully operational.

In February 2003, Shanxi Weiqida commenced construction of a Clavulanic Acid manufacturing facility, which was completed in August 2003. Pilot production began in August 2003 and full-scale production began in January 2004. Construction of Shanxi Weiqida’s 7-ACA workshop was completed in December 2003 and installation of the production system and machinery for the workshop has been completed. The pilot production commenced on July 1, 2004.

As a result of the acquisitions and expansions described above, Shanxi Weiqida has developed into an advanced, comprehensive, GMP certified pharmaceutical and development company. Shanxi Weiqida owns production capabilities to manufacture both pharmaceutical drugs and bulk pharmaceutical chemicals through its Pharma Division and Chemical Division. In its 258,300 square feet manufacturing facility, the Pharma Division operates one powder for injection workshop, one general formulation workshop and one sterilized bulk drug workshop. In its 818,100 square feet manufacturing facility, the Chemical Division produces Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA.

Shanxi Weiqida’s head office is located in a special economic region in China. This economic region allows foreign enterprises a two-year national income tax exemption beginning in the first year after they become profitable and a 50% national income tax reduction for the following three years. Shanxi Weiqida became profitable in 2003.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Summary

Shanxi Weiqida was incorporated on January 22, 2002 and has a financial year from January 1 to December 31. Oriental Wave was formed as a corporate reorganization involving Shanxi Weiqida. Therefore, Oriental Wave, which includes the results of Shanxi Weiqida, reported results for 2003 for a 12 month period whereas the results for 2002 reflect operations for the period from January 22, 2002 to December 31, 2002 (“Year 2002”).

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Oriental Wave had sales of $26,086,092 and net income of $7,583,972 compared to sales of $11,225,216 and a net loss of $242,324 for Year 2002. Sales for the Year 2002 and year ended December 31, 2003 were attributed to products from Shanxi Weiqida’s Pharma Division. The increased sales during 2003 was mainly due to the fact that Oriental Wave was involved in acquiring certain private and state-owned enterprises in Year 2002 and therefore, Oriental Wave was in the process of restructuring, reorganizing and consolidating the operations, production and sales and marketing of those acquired businesses. Comparatively, 2003 results reflected a full year operations and results of the acquired businesses. During the beginning of 2004, Shanxi Weiqida’s Chemical Division began producing and selling Clavulanic Acid and commenced pilot production of 7-ACA on July 1, 2004. Therefore, because of acquisitions and production and sales by the new Chemical Division, Shanxi Weiqida’s prior operating history may not be representative of future operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had sales of $14,475,985 and net income of $5,112,839 compared to sales of $11,569,795 and net income of $4,446,123 for the same period in 2003. The increase in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 was due to the contribution of sales from the Chemical Division, which began its operation on January 1, 2004. In addition, Oriental Wave recognized other income of $834,537 from the gain on extinguishment of retirement obligations relating to the retirement or re-employment of certain employees of Datong Pharmaceutical. Oriental Wave recognizes revenues from the sale its products when it is shipped to the customer at which time the customer is responsible for such product.

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had $12.9 million in short-term notes of which $1.81 million is due in September 2004 which Oriental Wave has renewed for an additional six months, and the balance is due in 2005. In addition, as of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had $21.6 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Oriental Wave had a negative working capital of $16,810,887 as of June 30, 2004 because Oriental Wave financed its operations and investment in its Chemical Division through operating cash flow, short-term notes and accounts payables. Oriental Wave has successfully received a six month renewal of its note that was due in September 2004 and intends to renegotiate its notes due in 2005. Assuming Oriental Wave refinances its notes, Oriental Wave believes that it will have sufficient cash flow to pay its obligations. However, this negative working capital may limit Oriental Wave’s growth in the near term.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Sales. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $14,475,985 compared to sales of $11,569,795 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. All sales for the first six months in both 2004 and 2003 were generated from the sale of products in the Chinese market. In the first six months of 2004, $12,056,222 or approximately 83.0% of the sales for the first six months in 2004 were from the Pharma Division and the remaining $2,419,763 or 17.0% of sales were from the Chemical Division which commenced operation on January 1, 2004. For the same period in 2003, 100% of sales were from the Pharma Division. The increase in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period for the prior year was primarily due to sales from the Chemical Division.

- 52 -

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $6,633,231 compared to $4,567,561 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of Oriental Wave’s pharmaceutical products especially increases in the cost of sales related to the products from the Chemical Division. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $7,842,754 or 54% compared to $7,002,234 or 60% for the same period of 2003. The slight decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the initial higher production and operation cost related to Chemical Division.

The increase in sales for the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 was mainly due to the fact that Oriental Wave’s Chemical Division began operations on January 1, 2004 and contributed 17.0% of the sales for the first six months. Gross margin for the first six months of 2004 decreased from the same period in 2003. The gross margin for the Chemical Division was 49% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 which was slightly lower than the Pharma Division’s gross margin of 55% due to the higher initial start-up costs associated with the start of operation of the production facility for Clavulanic Acid.

Other Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave recognized $830,629 of Other Income. This amount primarily consisted of $834,537 of gain on extinguishment of retirement obligations related to Oriental Wave’s hiring or retirement of certain former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical. In connection with the acquisition of Datong Pharmaceutical, Oriental Wave was required to assume certain liabilities for the unemployed former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical. Because Oriental Wave has hired certain of the former employees to work in the Chemical Division, while certain other former employees retired, these obligations have been extinguished resulting in a gain. See also “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Human Resources” below. No similar gain occurred during the same period of the prior year.

Expenses. Total operating expenses were $3,208,134 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,603,304 for the same period in 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the major category of operating expenses was General and Administration expenses which included $1,334,725 for salaries, compensation and benefits and $270,034 for travel and entertainment expenses and $1,236,096 for salaries, compensation and benefits and $55,740 for travel and entertainment expenses for the first six months of 2003. Operating expenses also included selling expense of $697,961, and depreciation and amortization of $881,627. The increase in operating expenses of $604,830 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period for the prior year reflects the increased overhead related to the operations of both the Pharma and Chemical Divisions in 2004 compared to just the Pharma Division in 2003. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the increase in fixed assets of the Chemical Division in 2004.

Net Income. Oriental Wave had a net income of $5,112,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net income of $4,446,123 for the same period in 2003. In addition, net income reflects other income of $834,537 from the gain on extinguishment of retirement obligations relating to certain employees of Datong Pharmaceutical.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share. Oriental Wave’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 six months ended June 30, 2004 was $102.26 per share and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $88.92 per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during both periods was 50,000 shares and there were no outstanding common stock options and common stock warrants that could lead to an issuance of common stock upon their exercise.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

Sales. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $26,086,092 compared to sales of $11,225,216 for the Year 2002. Sales in 2003 and Year 2002 were all generated from the sale of pharmaceutical products in the Chinese market from Oriental Wave’s Pharma Division as the Chemical Division did not start operations until January 1, 2004.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $13,817,298 compared to $8,916,570 for the Year 2002. The cost of sales is attributed to the production costs of Oriental Wave’s pharmaceutical products. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $12,268,794 compared to $2,308,646 for the Year 2002.

- 53 -

Gross margins were 47% for the full year of 2003 and 20.5% for the Year 2002. The increase in sales and gross margin for 2003 compared to the Year 2002 are attributed to the acquisition of certain assets from other pharmaceutical companies and the relocation of the operations of Shanxi Weiqida to new headquarters and production facility. On April 1, 2002, Oriental Wave acquired all product licenses and production permits from Shanxi Tongzhen and on June 4, 2002, Oriental Wave purchased the assets related to the capsules and injectables production line, including certain equipment, inventory, receivables and product license and related production permits, from Aurobindo Tongling (Datong). Oriental Wave was still in the stage of restructuring, reorganizing and consolidating the operations, production and sales and marketing of those acquired assets in 2002 and therefore the sales and gross margin for the Year 2002 were lower than during 2003. Oriental Wave relocated to its new headquarters and production facility at the Datong Economic and Technology Development Zone in Datong City at the end of December 2002. As a result, Oriental Wave managed to achieve higher sales, lower production costs and higher gross margin in 2003 as compared to the Year 2002 as there was less interruption of the business and higher efficiency in production in 2003.

Expenses. Total operating expenses were $4,696,419 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $2,452,206 for the Year 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the major category of the operating expenses was $3,288,488 in general and administration expenses of which $2,610,344 was for salaries, compensation and benefits and $165,694 for travel and entertainment expenses. compared to $1,959,653 of general and administrative expenses for Year 2002 of which $1,237,362 was for salaries, compensation and benefits and $40,252 was for travel and entertainment expenses

In addition, Oriental Wave incurred selling expense of $867,885 and depreciation and amortization of $540,046 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to selling expense of $423,106 and depreciation and amortization of $69,447 for Year 2002. The increase in these expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003 is attributed to a full year operation during such year.

Net Income/Loss. Oriental Wave had a net income of $7,583,972 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of $242,324 for the Year 2002. The increase in net income for 2003 compared to the Year 2002 was mainly due to the increase in sales and gross margin discussed above.

Basic and Diluted Net Income / (Loss) Per Share. Oriental Wave’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 year 2003. The net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $151.68 per share and the loss per share for the Year 2002 was $4.85 per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 50,000 shares and there were no outstanding common stock options and common stock warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had current liabilities of $34,585,257 and current assets of $17,774,370, including a cash balance of $679,756 and accounts receivables of $6,050,714. Its working capital deficiency is mainly due to the additional bank loans and payables incurred to finance its working capital requirements and investment in the Chemical Division.

- 54 -

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had current liabilities of $34,585,257 as follows:


Accounts Payable			$	9,647,480
Other Payables and Accrued Expenses			$	8,984,936
Raw Material expenses received in advance			$	2,995,169
Due to Related Companies			$	(73,614	)
Notes Payable-Short Term:
Note payable to a bank, interest rate of 6.372% per annum, due June 2005	$	420,290
Note payable to a bank, interest rate of 6.372% per annum, due June 2005	$	386,473
Note payable to a bank, interest rate of 4.779% per annum, due $1,811,595* September 2004 and March 2005	$	3,623,189
Note payable to a bank, interest rate of 6.039% per annum, secured by leasehold land and fixed assets, due April 2005	$	8,454,106

Notes Payable - Short Term Subtotal			$	12,884,058


Total Current Liabilities			$	34,585,257

*	Oriental Wave has renewed the $1,811,595 note for an additional six months.

The Accounts payable were incurred as part of the normal course of business of Oriental Wave while other payables and accrued expenses were incurred as part of the investment in establishing the Chemical Division. Raw Material expenses received in advance were related to the advance deposits received from Aurobindo Biopharma as described below.

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had outstanding short-term notes (less than one year term) totaling approximately $ 12.9 million, out of which approximately $1.8 million will be due in September 2004 and $11.1 million will be due during 2005. Oriental Wave has renewed the $1.8 million due in September 2004 for an additional six months and plans to renew approximately $9.8 million due in the first two quarters of 2005. Oriental Wave believes that it will be successful in the renegotiating its notes based on the assumption that Oriental Wave has enhanced its ability to generate additional profit and cash flow from its operation since the notes were originally entered into. Since then, Oriental Wave’s Chemical division commenced production and began generating profit and cash flow. Further, it entered into a three-year long term supply contract with Aurobindo Biopharma to supply specified amounts of Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA produced from its Chemical division. With this long-term supply agreement, Aurobindo Biopharma has agreed to purchase approximately 55% of the expected production volume of the Chemical Division during the three-year term of the agreement. Assuming that Oriental Wave is successful in renegotiating its notes as mentioned above, it believes that it will have enough cash flow for its operations for at least the next twelve months.

Long-term Liabilities:

At June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had long-term liabilities of $16,910,510 as follows:


Due to related companies	$	5,072,464
Long-term retirement benefits	$	1,133,154
Note payable to a bank, interest rate of 4,941% per annum, due $1,811,595 September 2005 and March 2006	$	3,623,188
Long-term account payable	$	7,081,704


Total Long-term Liabilities	$	16,910,510

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had $5.1 million outstanding to a related party, Shanxi Tongling. Mr. Han is the Chairman of both Oriental Wave and Shanxi Tongling. Oriental Wave is in the process of restructuring its short and long-term debt to extend these obligations, and, as a closing condition of the Share Purchase Agreement, $2.4 million (RMB 20 million) of the amount due to Shanxi Tongling will be converted into capital of Shanxi

- 55 -

Weiqida. As a result, out of the $5.1 million owed by Oriental Wave to Shanxi Tongling, the balance of approximately $2.7 million will remain as loan which will be due in March 2006. Assuming Oriental Wave can successfully renew or renegotiate the short-term notes payable mentioned above, Oriental Wave believes that it will be able to meet with this obligation when it becomes due. However, if necessary, Oriental Wave believes that the repayment of this remaining $2.7 million can be further renegotiated.

As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had long-term retirement benefits of $1,133,154, which was incurred in July 2003 when Oriental Wave acquired land and buildings from a government liquidator in exchange for assuming certain future employment, healthcare and land acquisition costs of the factory and its former employees during July 2003. Oriental Wave is required to pay certain minimum wages and health care costs until the date of their employment, retirement or death, whichever occurs first. The total amount of the liabilities assumed on the closing date was $8,897,685, which approximated the appraised value of the land. As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had employed 647 former employees and 144 former employees have retired. Oriental Wave has calculated the related asset value by computing the net present value of the future expected payments to the remaining 260 employees assuming an interest rate of 3%. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 260 former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical remained as the obligation of Oriental Wave, out of which 150 are expected to be rehired by the end of 2004 and the remaining 90 are expected to retire within 2 to 3 years.

Oriental Wave had long-term notes payables (one to two years) totaling approximately $3.6 million which will be due on September 2005 and March 2006 and long-term account payables of $7.1 million which will become due during the first six months of 2006. Assuming Oriental Wave can successfully renew part of the short-term notes mentioned above, Oriental Wave believes that it will be able to meet its long-term notes payable and long-term account payables when they become due with the expected increase in profit and cash flow from the addition of the Chemical Division in 2004.

Further, Oriental Wave believes that, based on the increase in sales from the Chemical Division, and the recognition of the short-term notes in the near future, it will be able to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities which would enhance Oriental Wave’s financial position. However, no assurance can be given that Oriental Wave will be able to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.

Compliance with the Required Statutory Reserve Funds

As a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise, under Chinese law Shanxi Weiqida may distribute its after tax profits only after making transfers to three reserve funds: a statutory surplus reserve, a public welfare fund and an enterprise expansion fund (if established). The statutory surplus reserve enterprise expansion fund and public welfare fund are shown on the balance sheets as part of owners’ equity.

The statutory surplus reserves are established by the enterprise to maintain the share capital of the company at a certain level to provide a reserve protecting against the effect of operating losses. At least 10% of the after tax profits must be contributed to the statutory surplus reserve fund until it equals 50% of the Company’s registered capital, and thereafter no further contributions to that fund need to be made. Except for the reduction for losses incurred, any other usage should not result in this reserve balance falling below 25% of the registered capital.

The public welfare fund is to be utilized for capital items for the collective benefits of a company’s employees such as the construction of dormitories, cafeteria and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than in liquidation. When the relevant assets are disposed of or written off, the original transfers from the statutory public welfare fund are reversed. An amount, as determined from time to time by Shanxi Weiqida’s board of directors, of between 5% to 10% of the after tax profits must be contributed to the public welfare fund.

Under Chinese law, Shanxi Weiqida’s shareholders may choose to establish an enterprise expansion fund to provide for capital expenditures and working capital. This reserve is non-distributable other than in liquidation. When the relevant asset are disposed of or written off, the original transfers from the expansion fund are reversed. Shanxi Weiqida does not currently have an enterprise expansion fund.

Compliance with Registered Capital Requirements in China

Oriental Wave’s subsidiary, Shanxi Weiqida, has a registered capital of $19,205,116 of which Oriental Wave has contributed $13,977,504 as of June 30, 2004, with the balance owing of $5,227,612 still to be fulfilled. Pursuant to Chinese regulations, Oriental Wave has up to five years to fulfill the registered capital requirement and such requirements can be satisfied through the conversion of undistributed profit and reserve. Oriental Wave expects the unregistered balance to be fully satisfied within the required timeframe by converting into registered capital approximately $2.4 million (RMB 20 million) of the amount due to a related party and Oriental Wave’s undistributed profit and reserve generated in the coming years into registered capital. See “Dragon After the Acquisition of Oriental Wave – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Regulation of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Industry

The modernization of regulations for the pharmaceutical industry is relatively new in China and the manner and extent to which this industry is regulated will continue to evolve. As a pharmaceutical company, Shanxi Weiqida is subject to the Pharmaceutical Administrative Law, which governs the licensing, manufacture, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products in China. Additionally, Shanxi Weiqida is subject to varying degrees of regulation by governmental agencies in China.

Principal supervisory authority in the industry. SFDA is the principal supervisory authority in the pharmaceutical industry in China. It was established in March 2003 on the basis of the former State Drug Administration of China, which was established in March 1998. The SFDA is responsible for the administrative and technological supervision of the research, production and trading of pharmaceutical products and the consolidated supervision of the safety management of food, health care and cosmetic products.

Certificates, permits and licenses for pharmaceutical manufacturing and trading enterprises. A pharmaceutical production enterprise or pharmaceutical trading enterprise must apply for the relevant permit from the relevant regulatory department in China. The Industry and Commerce Administration Department will issue a “business license” only after the pharmaceutical regulatory department has considered the application and approved the issue of a “pharmaceutical production permit” or “pharmaceutical trading permit”. Such permits are valid for a period of five years and application for renewal must be made six months prior to its expiry date. A new permit will be issued after reassessment, examination and approval by the relevant pharmaceutical regulatory department.

Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”). GMP is a set of standards in respect of quality management of the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products which is promoted by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). These are applicable to the entire pharmaceutical production process and the key working procedures for the production of raw materials which affect the quality of finished medicine products. Many countries have formulated their own requirements for GMP based on the GMP promoted by WHO. The Administration Center of Pharmaceutical Certification of the SFDA is responsible for pharmaceutical GMP certification in China. A GMP certificate is valid for a term of five years and application for renewal has to be submitted three months prior to its expiration date.

Registration of pharmaceutical products. All pharmaceutical products proposed to be sold in China (including previously unapproved drugs, changes in the form or method of administration of previously approved drugs and imported pharmaceutical products) are required to be registered and obtain an approved pharmaceutical number granted by the SFDA. The procedures for applying for registration of pharmaceutical products can be generally divided into the following stages:

Prescription medicines and over-the-counter medicines. Prescription medicines must be dispensed, purchased and taken with the prescription of practicing doctors or assistant doctors. Purchase of over-the-counter medicines do not require doctors’ prescriptions and can be dispensed, purchased and taken by users. The SFDA is responsible for the selection, approval, publication, and revision of the over-the-counter medicine catalogue.

Wholesalers of prescription and over-the-counter medicines and retailers of prescription and over-the-counter type A medicines must hold a “pharmaceutical trading enterprise permit”. Commercial entities may engage in the retail of over-the-counter type B medicines subject to the approval of the provincial pharmaceutical regulatory authorities or their delegated bureaus. Prescription medicines may be advertised only in medical journals and over-the-counter medicines may be advertised in the mass media.

Import and export restriction. Imported pharmaceutical products are required to meet certain safety and quality standards set by the Chinese government. In addition, these products should have been approved for sale in the country or region where they are manufactured. If the products are not approved in the foreign countries, they can be imported only subject to the approval from the SFDA. The export of pharmaceutical products when there is shortage of supply in China may be restricted or prohibited.

Price control. In July 2000, in order to enhance market competition of the pharmaceutical industry and to reduce medical expenses, the former State Development and Planning Commission of the PRC promulgated a new policy in respect of reforming the price control of pharmaceutical products in China. According to the policy, the price of pharmaceutical products is subject to the control of the price supervising bureau at state and provincial levels. The bureau generally classifies pharmaceutical products into two groups: (1) government-pricing pharmaceutical products; and (2) market-pricing pharmaceutical products.

Pharmaceutical products where prices are determined by National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC are limited to Category A pharmaceutical products listed in Medicine Catalogue of National Basic Medical Insurance and pharmaceutical products with monopolistic attributes (including anaesthetic medicines, certain type of psychiatric medicines, vaccines and contraceptive drugs). The price of Category B pharmaceutical products listed in the Medicine Catalogue of National Basic Medical Insurance are determined by the price supervising bureau at the provincial level according to the price determination policies adopted by the Central Government.

- 58 -

On November 21, 2000, the former State Development and Planning Commission of the PRC promulgated Notice Regarding Rules on Application for Approval for the Prices of Pharmaceutical Products set by the PRC Government, stating that:

(i) for all pharmaceutical products first launched in China as listed in the price index of the State Development and Planning Commission of China, drug manufacturing enterprises are required to submit their price-setting applications to the price supervising bureau at the provincial level. The provincial price supervising bureau would then transfer such applications to the former State Development and Planning Commission of the PRC after review for further approval;

(ii) for all new pharmaceutical products first launched in China as listed in the price index of the provincial government, drug manufacturing enterprises are required to submit their price-setting applications to price supervising bureau at the provincial level;

(iii) for the patented pharmaceutical products, Categories 1 and 2 new pharmaceutical products not listed in Medicine Catalogue of National Basic Medical Insurance, after trial production in China, drug manufacturing enterprises are required to submit their price-setting applications to the price supervising bureau at the provincial level for preliminary approval when they make applications for formal production. Then the provincial price supervising bureau would then transfer such applications to the former State Development and Planning Commission of the PRC to determine the price;

(iv) for the patented pharmaceutical products, Categories 1 and 2 pharmaceutical products not listed in Medicine Catalogue of National Basic Medical Insurance, which are not required to be carried out trial production in China, drug manufacturing enterprises are required to submit their price-setting applications to the price supervising bureau at the provincial level for approval after one year from obtaining of the production approval or the first import permit. Then the provincial price supervising bureau would then transfer such applications to the Economic Planning Commission of China for further approval; and

(v) for all pharmaceutical products currently sold in China market as listed in The Price Index of the Provincial and the State Development and Planning Commission of China, before new prices are set by the relevant price supervising authorities according to the market survey information, drug manufacturing enterprises can sell their products at the then prevailing price.

Approximately 22 out of the 35 products from the Pharma Division of Shanxi Weiqida, accounting for approximately 39% of its 2003 sales and 43% of its sales in the first six months of 2004, are subject to government imposed retail price controls in China. If manufacturing costs increase for products of Shanxi Weiqida that are subject to price ceilings, and the retail price for those products is not adjusted upwards, Oriental Wave’s profitability may be adversely affected.

Reimbursement. Only those drugs that appear on the provincial and municipal reimbursement lists are covered by the national medical insurance system, which may favor locally-manufactured products as they may be lower cost alternatives. The State Development Planning Commission of China has announced its intention to re-examine the pricing of drugs in China.

Product liability. Product liability claims may arise if harmful products are sold to members of the public or if there are any alleged harmful effects from the consumption of the products. Under current Chinese laws, manufacturers and vendors of defective products in China may incur civil and criminal liability for loss and injury caused by such products.

Products

In 2003, Oriental Wave only offered products through the Pharma Division of Shanxi Weiqida. Commencing in January 2004, Shanxi Weiqida began operating in two business divisions, a Pharma Division and a Chemical Division. All of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales came from the Pharma Division in 2003 but, in the first quarter of 2004, 75% of sales came from the Pharma Division and 25% from the Chemical Division.

- 59 -

Shanxi Weiqida owns approximately 290 product licenses and permits issued by the SFDA in eight presentation formats: 130 types of tablets, 14 types of granules, 10 types of suppositories, 23 types of capsules, one type of powder, 54 types of powders for injection, 15 types of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals, and 44 types of injections. In 2003 Shanxi Weiqida produced and marketed 35 of the possible 290 products it was entitled to sell. Shanxi Weiqida’s strategy is to commercialize the products that it believes it has a competitive advantage in producing and marketing.

Sterilized bulk drugs produced under the Pharma Division are used as raw materials for the formulated products. Starting in 2004, certain amounts of the sterilized bulk drugs began to be marketed to other pharmaceutical company as raw materials. Sales of sterilized bulk drugs sold to other companies are included in the sales of the Chemical Division, and sales of formulated products derived from internally manufactured sterilized bulk drugs are included in sales of the Pharma Division.

Pharma Division

The Pharma Division of Shanxi Weiqida operates in both the prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical market segments. It primarily produces anti-microbial drugs that fall within the anti-infectious and synthetic anti-bacterial segments. The following chart shows the categories of drugs produced by the Pharma Division.

Chemical Division

The Chemical Division currently produces Clavulanic Acid and the pilot production of 7-ACA commenced on July 1, 2004. Clavulanic Acid is used together with antibiotics to make the antibiotics more effective and longer-lasting. 7-ACA is an intermediate for Celphalosporin antibiotics and is converted into active pharmaceutical ingredients to produce Celphalosporin. The Chemical Division also markets certain sterilized bulk drugs to other pharmaceutical companies as raw materials.

Clavulanic Acid. Beta-lactam antibiotics, such as the penicillins and cephalosporins, act by disrupting the development of bacterial cells walls thus causing the disintegration of the bacteria. However, some bacteria have acquired the genes to produce enzymes which inactivate this mode of action - so called beta-lactamases and thus drastically reducing the efficacy of this class of antibiotics. Clavulanic Acid acts to inhibit the effectiveness of bacterial beta-lactamases since they are much more inclined to bond to Clavulanic Acid than to beta-lactam antibiotics. In this way, bacterial beta-lactamases miss their target and the antibiotic has free access to the bacterial wall which it affects.

Shanxi Weiqida’s Clavulanic Acid technology and production process was licensed and transferred from Alpha Process Trust Reg., or Alpha Trust. With the commencement of the production of Clavulanic Acid in January

- 62 -

2004, Shanxi Weiqida became the first commercial scale producer in China. By being the first such producer, Oriental Wave believes it has a competitive advantage over other manufacturers in China to fulfill demands for Clavulanic Acid domestically as well as internationally.

The technology transfer agreement with Alpha Trust was entered into in August 2002 and has a term of three years. Under its terms, Shanxi Weiqida is to pay Alpha Trust an aggregate of $600,000 upon the achievement of certain milestones, of which $540,000 has been paid to date. The agreement also provides that Alpha Trust will provide certain technical services and Shanxi Weiqida is committed to providing a project team and materials for implementation.

7-ACA. 7-ACA is the intermediate of Cephalosporins antibiotics. Cephalosporins belong to the Beta-lactam class of antibiotics. Second only to the penicillins, Cephalosporin C is manufactured on a very large scale with thousands of tons per year.

Shanxi Weiqida’s 7-ACA technology and production process was licensed and transferred from Alpha Trust. The construction of the production facility has been completed and production equipment has been installed. The pilot production of 7-ACA commenced on July 1, 2004.

This technology transfer agreement was originally entered into on April 18, 2002, between Shanxi Weiqida and Alpha Trust. The technology transfer agreement expirees upon the later of two years from the date of the agreement or one year after production commences and, under its terms, Shanxi Weiqida is to pay an aggregate of $650,000 to Alpha Trust, of which $250,250 has been paid to date. It also includes similar provision for Alpha Trust’s technical services to Shanxi Weiqida’s project team and materials.

Sales and Marketing

Sales from the Pharma Division are made solely in China and from the Chemical Division in China and overseas. The table below sets forth Shanxi Weiqida’s sales since inception on January 22, 2002 by product segments:

All above sales of the Pharma Division and the Chemical Division were made in China. Shanxi Weiqida expects to add international sales in the balance of 2004 under a three-year long-term supply agreement with Aurobindo (Datong) Bio-Pharma Co., Ltd., or Aurobindo Biopharma, to supply it with specified amounts of Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA. Deliveries commenced under this agreement in September 2004.

During 2002 and 2003 and the first six months of 2004, sales to Shanxi Weiqida’s five largest customers, which are distributors of pharmaceutical products in China, accounted for approximately 15.3%, 11.5% and 10% of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales, respectively; while sales to Shanxi Weiqida’s largest customer accounted for approximately 5.5%, 3.5% and 3.7% of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales, respectively. Currently, except for the Aurobindo Biopharma contract discussed below, Shanxi Weiqida has historically made its sales through purchase orders and not through long-term contracts.

- 63 -

In March 2004, Shanxi Weiqida entered into a supply agreement with Aurobindo Biopharma. Under the terms of the agreement, Aurobindo Biopharma has agreed to purchase the lower of 50% of Shanxi Weiqida production or 20 metric tons per month of 7ACA at a discount of approximately 11% from the prevailing market price. In connection with this agreement, Aurobindo Biopharma advanced $3 million to Shanxi Weiqida that will be offset against future purchases by Aurobindo Biopharma. If the advanced funds have not been fully offset by sales to Aurobindo Biopharma, the remaining amounts are to be refunded. However, Shanxi Weiqida believes that it will make a sufficient amount of sales to Aurobindo Biopharma to offset all of the advanced funds. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon three months written notice after the advanced funds have been used or refunded.

Sales Models

Shanxi Weiqida maintains different sales and distribution models for the Pharma and Chemical Divisions. For the Pharma Division, Shanxi Weiqida sells through sales agents or its 63 sales offices throughout China. Shanxi Weiqida has signed up 10 nation-wide and 12 district-wide agents to sell and distribute its Pharma Division products, especially its over-the-counter products. These agents are generally appointed on a commission basis for a term of one to three years, and undertake the marketing, promotion and distribution of Shanxi Weiqida’s products in their assigned territories. Each sales office is managed by a Sales Manager employed by Shanxi Weiqida, who is responsible for marketing, promoting and selling the division’s products as well as managing sales representatives. Shanxi Weiqida has approximately 1,200 sales representatives located throughout China that are retained on a commission basis. These sales representatives pay regular site visits to pharmacy wholesalers and retailers, hospitals and distributors to conduct market research, gather opinions on products and promote Shanxi Weiqida’s products.

For the Chemical Division, Shanxi Weiqida uses a direct sales model with sales made through the sales department located in Datong City. The customers for the Chemical Division are other pharmaceutical companies which will use the products for further processing and formulation.

Pricing Policy

Of the 35 pharmaceutical products produced by Shanxi Weiqida’s Pharma Division, 22 are currently subject to retail price control imposed by the government administration authorities or other relevant authorities in China. Shanxi Weiqida’s products from Chemical Division are not subject to retail price control and are market-priced products. The main objective of price control policy is to set an upper limit to the retail prices of pharmaceutical products in order to prevent excessive increases in the prices of pharmaceutical products.

Manufacturing and Facilities

Shanxi Weiqida’s head office and manufacturing facility of the Pharma Division with a total of approximately 258,300 square feet are located in the Datong Economic and Technology Development Zone in Datong City, Shanxi Province of China. This fully-integrated facility includes a headquarters building, three production workshops (formulation drugs, sterilized bulk drugs and powder for injections) that house a total of eight production lines (four in the formulations workshop, one in the sterilized bulk drugs workshop and three in the powder for injections workshop), utility infrastructure, quality assurance and quality control and warehouse area. Shanxi Weiqida holds the land use right for this facility until June 2047.

Shanxi Weiqida’s Chemical Division is also located in Datong City. The location was the original production facility of Datong Pharmaceutical and the land use right to this facility was awarded to Shanxi Weiqida upon the bankruptcy of Datong Pharmaceutical. This facility for the Chemical Division, with a total area of approximately 818,100 square feet, houses the Clavulanic Acid production facility, power, boiler, steam and water facilities and 7-ACA production facility. The land use right for this facility expires in August 2053.

In connection with the bankruptcy of Datong Pharmaceutical, Shanxi Weiqida has also been granted the land use right for another piece of land with an area of 129,200 square feet which is adjacent to the Chemical Division. This land is currently vacant and is reserved for future expansion. The land use right for this facility expires in August 2053.

- 64 -

All manufacturing facilities of Shanxi Weiqida that are required to be GMP certified, have been certified under current Chinese regulations. Shanxi Weiqida’s GMP certificate for the Pharma Division facility will expire and is subject to renewal in August 2008 and the GMP certificate for the Clavulanic Acid facility of the Chemical division will expire and is subject to renewal in January 2009. The 7-ACA facility does not need to be GMP certified. The facilities of Shanxi Weiqida have been designed to meet expected production demands into the foreseeable future.

Manufacturing Arrangement. Shanxi Pude Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Shanxi Pude, which is also located in Datong City, manufactures Levofloxacin as a freeze-dried injectable for Shanxi Weiqida pursuant to a non-exclusive contract manufacturing agreement. The agreement with Shanxi Pude may be terminated by either party at any time and Shanxi Weiqida is not obligated to make any purchases under the agreement. Shanxi Weiqida utilizes Shanxi Pude on an as needed basis. Shanxi Weiqida’s sales from the products produced by Shanxi Pude under this agreement were $0.6 million and $1.1 million in 2002 and 2003, respectively, and $ 0.47 million in the first six months of 2004 which represents 5.4%, 4.2% and 3.3% of Shanxi Weiqida’s sales for 2002, 2003 and first six months of 2004 respectively. The agreement requires Shanxi Pude to manufacture product based on quality control variables and timetables supplied by Shanxi Weiqida. Shanxi Weiqida is obligated to pay Shanxi Pude for the product at the time of completion of the manufacturing process. Shanxi Pude is prohibited from selling the product. Shanxi Pude is a medium-sized pharmaceutical company with over nine years of operating history. Shanxi Weiqida is currently conducting a study to evaluate whether it is feasible to build a workshop within its existing pharmaceutical product production facility to produce Levofloxacin as a freeze-dried injectable.

Proposed Contract Manufacturing Arrangement. On June 30, 2004, Shanxi Weiqida entered into a non-binding letter of intent with an arm’s-length customer to provide this customer with third party manufacturing services for the production of Abamectin, an antibiotic used in agriculture. According to the letter of intent, Shanxi Weiqida will be responsible for:

•

providing the land for the construction of a production facility for Abamectin, which will be designed to meet standards of the United States Food and Drug Administration. The land that will be provided is approximately 86,112 square feet of the 129,200 square feet of vacant land adjacent to the Chemical Division’s manufacturing facility;

•

permitting the customer to build the Abamectin production facility and access the current infrastructure (such as power, water among others) of Shanxi Weiqida’s adjacent manufacturing facility; and

•

providing operational and management services to the completed facility.

The customer will be responsible for paying all expenses related to design, construction and outfitting of the facility and has agreed to provide RMB 10 million (approximately $1.2 million) in working capital to Shanxi Weiqida within five days after the completion of construction. Thereafter, the customer has agreed to purchase annually at least 120 tons of Abamectin product from Shanxi Weiqida on a cost plus basis. Further details of the arrangement are to be negotiated under a definitive agreement to be negotiated between the parties.

Raw Materials. Shanxi Weiqida uses many different raw materials in the manufacturing process of its pharmaceutical products. Shanxi Weiqida mainly sources its raw materials in China, but also purchases raw materials from some overseas markets. In 2003, purchases from Shanxi Weiqida’s five largest suppliers, which are all suppliers of raw materials and packaging materials, accounted for approximately 49.86% of Shanxi Weiqida’s total purchases, and purchases from Shanxi Weiqida’s largest supplier accounted for approximately 12.73% of Shanxi Weiqida’s total purchases. In order to maintain flexibility in-sourcing quality supplies at competitive prices, Shanxi Weiqida has not entered into any supply contracts with any of its suppliers which exceed twelve months. In 2002 and 2003, Shanxi Weiqida did not experience any significant difficulties in sourcing raw materials and the management of Shanxi Weiqida do not anticipate that, if required, Shanxi Weiqida will face any material difficulties in sourcing its raw materials from alternative suppliers.

Research and Development

Shanxi Weiqida’s research and development activities mainly focus on two objectives: the development of generic drugs, including new presentations and dosage forms of already approved generic drugs, and the improvement of product quality and production technology. In order to fulfill those objectives, the research and development department utilizes both internal and external resources, such as cooperation with universities and other research laboratories.

In 2003, Shanxi Weiqida submitted applications to SFDA for seven new products and 15 new presentations. Of these applications, approval has been received for one new product, Mezlocillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium, with two dosages and two new dosages for two previously approved products. The balance of the applications are still pending.

In 2004 Shanxi Weiqida has filed with SFDA 11 applications for product approval for new generic drugs, presentation or dosage, and expects to file between four and nine additional applications by the end of 2004. Of the applications filed in 2004, approvals have been received for six dosages for previously approved products.

From time to time Shanxi Weiqida has established on-going collaborations on product development and production techniques development with external research institutes such as universities and other research laboratories. Shanxi Weiqida’s working relationship with Harbin Medical University, Huaxi Medical University Pharmaceutical College, Shanxi Medical University and Datong University are based on oral agreements and on an as-needed basis. Shanxi Weiqida has no long term arrangements with these universities.

Intellectual Property

Shanxi Weiqida had 15 registered trademarks and has applied for registration of another 19 trademarks in China. Shanxi Weiqida has not applied to patent any of its products, techniques or procedures.

Other than obtaining product protection from the SFDA for each of the new products developed, Shanxi Weiqida does not have any other measures to prevent any infringement of its intellectual property rights. Currently, four of Shanxi Weiqida’s manufactured pharmaceutical products, is entitled to protection with which the SFDA will not issue additional drug permits other than those already issued during the protection period. The following table illustrates our products with protection period and their respective expiration dates.

Competition

Pharma Division

The world market for anti-infectious drugs is highly competitive and producers in this market include some of the largest pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, Schering-Plough, Abbott Laboratories and Sandoz.

There are numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers of anti-infectious drugs in China. The top five producers are Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holding Co., Ltd., Shijiazhuang Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Reyoung Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Southwest Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi Dongfeng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Except for Shandong Reyoung, these companies or their affiliates are all publicly traded companies listed on the Shanghai or Hong Kong stock exchanges. Most of these competitors are substantially larger than Shanxi Weiqida as they were all state-owned enterprises before becoming public and some of them are still partially owned by the Chinese government or, as is the case with Shandong Reyoung, are still state-owned enterprises. These larger competitors may enjoy the benefits of economies and therefore be able to afford to sell competing products at lower prices than Shanxi Weiqida. This will have an adverse effect on Shanxi Weiqida’s profitability.

- 66 -

Chemical Division

Clavulanic Acid. The world production of Clavulanic Acid is dominated by manufacturers located in Europe. Among them, Lek Pharmaceutical and Chemical Company of Slovenia, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals of Britain, Deva Holding A.S. of Turkey, Amifarma S.L. of Spain and DSM of the Netherlands, are the leading manufacturers of Clavulanic Acid.

There are currently only two manufacturers of bulk Clavulanic Acid in China, Shanxi Weiqida and Jiangxi Pharmaceutical. However, before the commencement of production by Shanxi Weiqida’s Clavulanic Acid production facility, there was no commercial scale production of Clavulanic Acid in China. In addition to the current Chinese producers, SFDA has granted approval for the leading European producers to export Clavulanic Acid to the Chinese market.

7-ACA

Production of 7-ACA is concentrated among a few European and Chinese manufacturers. Shanxi Weiqida will face significant competition from these companies. Shanxi Weiqida’s competitors include Antibioticos, a subsidiary of the Fidia Group of Italy and Biochemie, a subsidiary of Novartis of Switzerland. In addition, in the Chinese market there are four leading Chinese manufacturers: China Pharmaceutical, Shangdong Lukang Pharmaceutical, Fuzhou Pharmaceutical and Harbin Pharmaceutical. Shanxi Weiqida’s 7-ACA production facility commenced pilot production on July 1, 2004.

Human Resources

As of June 30, 2004, Shanxi Weiqida had approximately 1,600 full-time employees with approximately 1,200 sales representatives retained on a contract basis. However, Shanxi Weiqida is expected to add an additional 150 full-time employees by the end of 2004. Of these 1,750 full time employees, 58 are in senior and middle management position, 110 are clerical support staff and the remaining 1,582 are or will be production and support staff. The 1,200 sales representatives operate out of 63 sales offices located throughout China. The sales representatives are retained on a contract basis and paid solely on a commission basis according to their sales performance.

Shanxi Weiqida has certain placement obligations in respect of approximately 350 former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical under the agreement entered into to acquire the right to use the land that houses Shanxi Weiqida’s chemical manufacturing facilities and certain adjacent property. See “History and Development of Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida”. These rights were granted to Shanxi Weiqida upon the bankruptcy of Datong Pharmaceutical in exchange for the assumption of certain employee liabilities of Datong Pharmaceutical. The agreement requires Shanxi Weiqida to pay certain minimum wages and health care costs for former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical until the date of their employment, retirement or death, whichever occurs first. The total amount of the liabilities assumed on the closing date was estimated to be approximately $8.9 million. As of June 30, 2004, Oriental Wave had employed 647 former employees and 144 former employees had retired. Shanxi Weiqida estimates its costs for the remaining 260 employees to be approximately $1.13 million.

No key employee of Oriental Wave or its subsidiary has signed any employment contract. To Oriental Wave’s knowledge no key employee of Oriental Wave or its subsidiary has any plan to leave the company in the near future or after the completion of the proposed acquisition. Shanxi Weiqida’s current employees are represented by a labor union and management considers the relationships with its employees to be good.

Legal Proceedings

Neither Oriental Wave nor Shanxi Weiqida is subject to any legal proceedings.

Dragon After the Acquisition of Oriental Wave

After the close of the acquisition, Dragon will continue to be headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and its operations will be organized into three business units, a Pharma Division, a Biotech Division and a Chemical Division. Management of each of these divisions will be unified and located in a new corporate office to be established in Beijing, China. The new Beijing office will also be responsible for sales and marketing activities in China and will include a research and development center. Beijing is being chosen as the location for this new office as it is centrally located (there is easy access to both the Datong and Nanjing facilities), is closer to the government and regulatory affairs offices that oversee the drug approval and the facility audit/approval process and locally there is a good supply of research and development professionals.

The Pharma Division, with its production base in Datong, will continue its current business strategies to focus on the expansion and development of the Chinese market by managing its product portfolio. The Biotech Division, with its production base located in Nanjing, will continue to manage its Erythropoietin (EPO) business for the Chinese and International market. The Chemical Division, with its production base located in Datong, will continue to manage the production and sales and marketing of Clavulanic Acid, 7-ACA, and certain sterilized bulk drugs for both the Chinese and international markets.

The following table shows Dragon’s corporate structure after the acquisition of Oriental Wave, including the jurisdiction of incorporation of each subsidiary:

Product Strategy

Dragon’s key products after the acquisition will include generic pharmaceutical products, in the prescription and over-the-counter categories from the Pharma Division, bio-generic drugs from the Biotech Division as well as bulk pharmaceutical chemical, including Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient and bulk drugs from the Chemical Division.

Adjusting Product Mix from the Portfolio of Product Licenses and Permits. Dragon, after the acquisition, will have a portfolio of 290 product licenses and permits under the Pharma Division in eight presentation formats, namely tablets, granules, suppositories, capsules, powder, powder for injection, bulk pharmaceutical chemicals and injections. These products are all generic products and, therefore, Dragon does not have any products that are currently patented or pending patent approval in China or other countries. The portfolio of 290 product licenses and permits will allow Dragon to adjust the product mix according to market and competitive conditions. Dragon will undertake a selection process to decide which of its remaining licenses, if any, will be commercialized, and to determine the timeframe for such commercialization.

Increasing the revenue base of the Pharma Division by increasing the sales derived from the over-the-counter products. Current key products are mainly anti-infectious drugs. Shanxi Weiqida operates in both the over-the-counter and the prescription pharmaceutical product market segments with the introduction of the over-the-counter products only in late 2003. In 2003, approximately 10% of the Pharma Division’s sales were from over-the-counter products and 90% were from prescription products. While over-the-counter products carry a slightly lower gross margin than prescription products, sales volume tends to be greater than prescription products. By increasing production of over-the-counter products through the greater utilization of our existing capacity, we expect to be able to drive down the per unit cost and increase margins. In addition, the target market of over-the-counter products is the mass population which will enable us to build up brand equity in the market that will help to promote Shanxi Weiqida’s other products. As a result, we intend to increase our revenue base by increasing the sales contribution of over-the-counter products to approximately 20% of 2004 divisional sales with a long-term target of 30% of the division’s sales.

Introducing three to five new generic products, dosages or presentations every year in the Chinese market. In 2003, Shanxi Weiqida received four product approvals from the SFDA. Through in-house development and through external collaborations with research institutions, Shanxi Weiqida is targeting to introduce three to five new dosages or presentations of previously approved drugs, and perhaps new generic drugs, every year in the Chinese market.

Finalizing the development of a new cell-line and proprietary process for the European market with Dragon’s research partner in Europe. Dragon has entered into a development and manufacturing agreement with Polymun Scientific Immunbiologische Forschung GmbH, or Polymun Scientific, to develop a new cell line and production process for a newly developed EPO product, which is expected to be commercialized in the European Union market upon the expiration of the relevant patents. The lead purification experts from our subsidiary in Nanjing are currently participating in the late stages of development and will assist in the scale-up of the selected technology in the coming months. Subsequently, Polymun Scientific will produce sizeable batches of EPO for Dragon in its GMP facility located in Vienna, Austria for future clinical trials in Europe. Polymun Scientific and Dragon intend to complete the preliminary studies for a European regulatory filing by the first quarter of 2005.

The agreement with Polymun Scientific has an initial term of seven years from the time of the developed EPO product and automatically renews for succession one year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party prior to renewal. Dragon is granted a royalty-bearing license to the developed product at various discount prices depending on the amount of the product to be purchased by Dragon each year. The agreement requires Dragon to pay Polymun an aggregate of approximately $615,000 for its development activities upon achievement of certain milestones. As of August 19, 2004, approximately $246,000 has been paid by Dragon and the remaining obligation is approximately $369,000. The product will be provided exclusively to Dragon for the first three years after development and Polymun Scientific has agreed not to compete with Dragon. Dragon may also obtain a royalty-free license to the technology for approximately $12.3 million or by paying approximately $1.85 million and a percentage of its net sales of the product.

Continued development of the slow-release formulation of EPO. In April 2001, Dragon entered into a collaboration agreement with Transworld Pharmaceuticals and Toray Trading Corp. to develop a slow-release formulation for EPO. If the slow-release EPO is approved and commercialized, we will have exclusive world-wide manufacturing rights as well as exclusive marketing rights of the slow-release EPO to Asia. Currently, the slow-release EPO is in pre-clinical trials and we expect to proceed to clinical trials.

Manufacturing

Dragon, after the acquisition, will have four manufacturing facilities in China. Production facilities for the Pharma Division and Chemical Division are located in Datong while the production facility for the Biotech Division is located in Nanjing. The following table summarizes our manufacturing facilities after the acquisition of Oriental Wave:


Workshop	Production Lines	Form of Products	Estimated Annual Production Capacity	GMP Certification	Approximate Production Level in 2003
Pharma Division
	Penicillin	Powder for injection	80 million vials	2003	40 million vials
Powder for injection	Non-Penicillin	Powder for injection		2003
	Cephalosporins	Powder for injection		2003

	Penicillins and Non-Penicillins	Tablet	520 million tablets	2003	600 million

7-ACA		Bulk	400 tons(2)	n.a.	n.a.

(1)	The facility doubled its capacity in late 2003.

(2)	Pilot production commenced on July1, 2004.

After the acquisition of Oriental Wave, we will review the manufacturing capabilities of the combined company to ensure that it meets our needs in the most efficient manner. We believe that there is sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet the near-term (two to three year) needs of the combined company. In order to take advantage of a growing trend of pharmaceutical companies in developed countries purchasing bulk pharmaceutical chemicals from producers in developing countries such as India and China, we are considering up-grading the GMP

- 70 -

status of the manufacturing facilities of our Chemical Division within the next three years. Up-grading this facility to meet the GMP standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency, or EMEA, will permit us to export our bulk pharmaceutical chemical products to the European and U.S. markets.

Sales Strategy

Dragon, after the acquisition of Oriental Wave, will divide up its sales target market into two segments: China and International. On a pro forma basis of the combined company, in 2003 approximately 95% of sales would have come from the Chinese market and the remaining 5% from the international market. It is anticipated that the proportion of sales from the international market will increase with the development of Dragon’s international businesses.

With respect to Dragon’s three divisions after the acquisition, on a pro forma basis for the first six months of 2004 (the only period that the Chemical Division has been in operation) 74% of sales would have come from the Pharma Division, 15% of sales would have come from the Chemical Division and 11% of sales would have come from the Biotech Division. It is anticipated that the percentage of sales from the Biotech Division and Chemical Division will increase with the continued market expansion of the EPO products and Chemical Division products.

Chinese Market

After the acquisition, Dragon will combine its sales models with those of Shanxi Weiqida to sell Dragon’s products in China. These models include the use of regional sales offices, nation-wide and district-wide distributors and direct sales.

Regional Sales Offices. Dragon currently has 17 sales offices in China with 11 sales managers and 45 sales representatives and Shanxi Weiqida has 63 sales offices with 63 sales managers and over 1,200 sales representatives. After the acquisition, this sales and distribution network in China will be reorganized to unify the sales infrastructure. In provinces or market areas where Dragon currently does not provide adequate coverage, Shanxi Weiqida sales offices will assume the responsibilities of selling products from both the Pharma and Biotech Divisions. In provinces or market area where both companies have the sales network, resources will be re-allocated and re-assessed to merge the two sales teams together to maximize the benefit of increasing sales and to minimize expenses.

After the acquisition, we expect to maintain at least two sales offices in each of the 31 provinces or regions of China, as each sales office carries different products for their own assigned territories. Each sales office will continue to be managed by a Sales Manager employed by Dragon, who is responsible for the marketing, promoting and selling of Dragon’s products as well as managing the sales representatives. Dragon will have over 1,200 sales representatives throughout the country who are retained on a commission basis and whose major duties are to promote and sell our products by regular site visits to the pharmacy wholesalers and retailers, hospitals and distributors.

In addition, Dragon plans to unify the sales process including promotion strategies, sales training, contract management, distribution and collection management in order to minimize sales and marketing costs.

Nation-wide Agent and District-wide Agent to Sell Over-The-Counter Products of the Pharma Division. After the acquisition, we intend to maintain Shanxi Weiqida’s network of 10 nation-wide and 12 district-wide agents to sell and distribute predominantly over-the-counter products of the Pharma Division. The marketing agents are generally appointed on a commission basis, for a term of one to three years. These marketing agents undertake the marketing, promotion and distribution of our products to their assigned territories.

Company’s Corporate Office in Beijing to Market Products from the Chemical Division. The target customers for the products of the Chemical Division are other pharmaceutical companies who use the products for further processing and formulation. The customers are larger in terms of their size and demands and Shanxi Weiqida’s chemical products are sold in bulk. For this market, a direct sales model is used, which is different from the sales of products from the Pharma Division. Shanxi Weiqida currently sells the Chemical Division’s products directly from the office in Datong, but it is anticipated that this sales team will be relocated to the new Beijing corporate office.

- 71 -

For the Chinese market, the key sales strategies of Dragon after the acquisition, will include:

•

increasing market share of Dragon’s EPO products with the expanded sales network in China;

•

increasing sales contribution of over-the-counter products to approximately 20% of the Pharma Division in 2004 and eventually 30% of the divisional sales in the long run;

•

expanding the customer base of the Chemical products in China by participating trade shows and actively approaching customers who are using imported products.

International Market

The International Sales and Marketing team is located in Dragon’s office in Vancouver, Canada. We plan to sell Dragon’s Pharma and Biotech products to the international market, outside of China, utilizing the network of licensees developed originally for Dragon’s EPO products. As of June 1, 2004, Dragon has entered into licensing arrangement with 11 licensees covering over 135 countries around the world.

In addition, Dragon plans to sell the Chemical Division’s products directly to other pharmaceutical companies for processing into final products. In March 2004, Shanxi Weiqida entered into a three-year long term supply agreement with Aurobindo Biopharma to supply specified amounts of Clavulanic Acid and 7-ACA. With this long-term supply agreement, Aurobindo Biopharma has agreed to purchase approximately 55% of the expected production volume of the Chemical Division during the three-year term of the agreement.

For the international market, key sales strategies of Dragon, after the transaction, include:

•

further expansion of EPO among developing countries by obtaining additional market approval as well as actively developing the bulk EPO and EPO derivative market segment;

•

finalizing the market entry of EPO into the European Union market to ensure a timely entrance of the market;

•

initial market development among developing countries for the Pharma Division’s products; and

•

initial market development among other developed countries for Company’s Chemical products upon the upgrade of the facility to FDA/EMEA standard.

Research & Development

Dragon, after the acquisition, will continue to rely on a combination of in-house resources as well as collaboration with other Chinese and international pharmaceutical companies or research institutions to perform the research and development function.

In-house resources. A new research center will be set up in the corporate office in Beijing and staffed by research and development professionals. Dragon’s research and development activities will be mainly focused on two objectives, (1) the development of new generic drugs or new presentation and dosage form of the already approved generic drugs and (2) the improvement of existing product quality and production technology which include the upgrade of the production facilities to meet international standards.

External Collaboration. Dragon has established joint research collaboration with international as well as Chinese pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. Currently, Dragon has on-going development projects with Transworld Pharmaceuticals and Renapharm on the development of slow-release EPO and with Polymun Scientific on a new EPO cell-line for the European market.

- 72 -

Human Resources

After the acquisition, Dragon will have a total of approximately 1,850 employees world-wide representing such diverse disciplines as biotech, pharmaceutical, chemical, research, manufacturing, mechanical, marketing, finance and business management. In addition to its employees, Dragon will also have a sales force of 1,200 representatives retained on a contract basis. Our employees are not represented by any labor union and we believe our relationships with our employees are excellent.

We anticipate that the total number of employees will remain at around 1,850 but the functional mix will be changed to fulfill the needs of Dragon. On one hand, there will be some staff reductions in certain functions due to integration of activities and the rationalization of our operations following the acquisition. On the other hand, the operations of the 7-ACA facility and other projects such as the third-party manufacturing of Abamectin will likely increase the number of employees employed in our manufacturing operations.

The majority of our senior management team own shares or options to purchase our shares. To encourage our management team to achieve our medium and long term goals, we will continue to grant them opportunities to increase their ownership in Dragon through our share incentive plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $3.3 million on a pro forma basis reflecting the acquisition of Oriental Wave. With the increased scope of businesses of Dragon as a result of the acquisition, we expect to be profitable and therefore, generating positive operating cash flow. On a pro forma basis, we had $29.7 million sales and $5.6 million net profit in 2003. However, those financials only reflects the operating results of the Pharma Division and Biotech Division and may not represent future operations. Starting January 1, 2004, the Clavulanic Acid production facility of the Chemical Division has been in operations. Another production facility for the Chemical Division, 7-ACA started its pilot production on July 1, 2004. These two facilities are expected to bring additional sales and profit to Dragon.

The manufacturing facilities of the Pharma and Chemical Divisions are new with additional unused production capacity. We do not expect significant capital expenditure required for our businesses in the next two to three years. Therefore, we believe that the cash outflow from investing activities will be significantly lower than the 2003 pro forma number which reflected investments made in the Chemical Division.

As of June 30, 2004, Shanxi Weiqida has short-term loans of $12.9 million and accounts payable and other payable and accrued expenses of $21.6 million. After the acquisition, Dragon expects that it can meet these obligations by the renewal of certain term loans at comparable rates and from the positive net cash flow generated from expanded operations and investment activities following the acquisition. However, in order to ensure that financial resources are available when needed, depending on the market conditions, we may choose to raise additional capital within the next three years to repay the necessary loan obligations as well as to fund any continued expansion of our business and operations, including any acquisition opportunities that might present themselves.

Oriental Wave has recorded $1,133,154 as long term retirement benefits which are related to the acquisition of Datong Pharmaceutical and the assumption of obligations relating to certain minimum wages and health care costs until the earlier of its employees’ date of employment, retirement or death. Shanxi Weiqida expects to rehire or retire the remaining former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 260 former employees of Datong Pharmaceutical remained as the obligation of Oriental Wave out of which 150 are expected to be rehired by the end of 2004 and the remaining 90 are expected to rehire within two to three years.

Shanxi Weiqida has also incurred debt to related party (Shanxi Tongling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) of $5.21 million. This amount will be reduced before the closing of the acquisition to $2.8 million. While this debt has set repayment dates, we believe that, if necessary, Dragon will be able to negotiate an extension of the repayment dates.

As of June 30, 2004, Shanxi Weiqida had registered capital of $19,205,116 of which $13,977,504 had been contributed as of June 30, 2004, with the balance of $5,227,612 of registered capital to be fully fulfilled by

- 73 -

December 2008. We expect this outstanding registered capital requirement will be fulfilled within the required timeframe by the conversion of approximately $2.4 million (RMB 20 million) of the amount due to Shanxi Tongling Pharmaceutical (a closing condition of the Share Purchase Agreement) and by transfers to this account from Shanxi Weiqida’s undistributed profits and reserves generated in the coming years.

Directors, Management, Promoters and Control Persons After the Acquisition of Oriental Wave

On the completion of the acquisition, Oriental Wave will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dragon. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Dragon has agreed that Mr. Yanlin Han, Mr. Zhanguo Weng and Ms. Xuemei Liu, will be appointed directors of Dragon. Mr. Han is Chairman of the board of Oriental Wave, Mr. Weng is the General Manager of Shanxi Weiqida and Ms. Liu is a Director of Oriental Wave. In addition, Mr. Han will be appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Dragon and Dr. Wick will be appointed as the President of Dragon.

For more information regarding Messrs. Sun, Wick, Han, Weng and Ms. Liu, please see “Nominees to the Board and Proposed Nominees of Oriental Wave to the Board” under Proposal 3.

Finally, as a result of the transaction, Messrs. Han and Weng and Ms. Liu will collectively own 68.35% of our outstanding shares as calculated on a fully diluted basis. As a result of their ownership, Messrs. Han and Weng and Ms. Liu will have substantial control over certain corporate matters including the election of our board of directors and the approval of significant corporation transactions without seeking the approval from other shareholders.

PROPOSAL 2 - AMENDMENT TO DRAGON’s

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO

INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

The board of directors has approved and recommends that the shareholders approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of common stock that we have authority to issue from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000.

The primary purpose of this amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is to make available for issuance by us additional shares of common stock so that we may complete the share exchange with Oriental Wave shareholders and to have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock to maintain flexibility in our corporate planning. Under the terms of our purchase agreement with Oriental Wave and the shareholders of Oriental Wave, to complete the acquisition we will issue that number of shares of common stock which is equal to 68.35% of our issued and outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis. Based on the current number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares underlying our convertible securities, we estimate that we will need to issue approximately 51 million shares of our common stock to complete the share exchange. Without this amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, we will not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares.

In addition, our board of directors believes that the availability of additional authorized but unissued shares will provide us with the flexibility to issue shares for other corporate purposes that may be identified in the future, such as to raise capital through the issuance of securities, to make acquisitions using securities as consideration, to issue securities in connection with strategic relationships with other companies, and to adopt additional employee benefit plans or reserve additional shares for issuance under such plans. No additional action or authorization by our shareholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of such additional shares, unless required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which our common stock is then listed or quoted. While we believe that the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock will make available a sufficient number of shares for one or more of such previously mentioned purposes or otherwise, we may seek further increases in the authorized shares from time to time in the future as considered appropriate by our board of directors. Other than pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, we have no plan, understandings or arrangements to issue additional shares of common stock.

If this proposal 2 is adopted by the shareholders, Article III of the Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:

“The maximum number of shares of capital stock that this corporation is authorized to have outstanding at any time is Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, having a par value of $.001 per share.”

The approval and adoption of the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

If the acquisition of Oriental Wave as set out in proposal 1 is approved but this proposal 2 is not approved by shareholders, we will still be able to complete the acquisition in two stages.

Recommendation of the Board

The board of directors recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.

- 75 -

PROPOSAL 3 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the board of directors shall consist of between one and five members with the specific number determined by board resolution. The board was previously set at five members. In the Share Purchase Agreement with Oriental Wave we agreed to appoint three nominees of Oriental Wave to our board of directors. In order to fulfill this condition, the board has nominated only two of our current directors for election at the meeting and concurrently will reduce the size of the board to two directors. The board has nominated Messrs. Sun and Wick as nominees for election as directors. Messrs. Cai, Liu and Yuen were not nominated. After completion of the acquisition of Oriental Wave, the board will increase the number of directors to five and the three nominees of Oriental Wave will then be appointed to the board to serve until the next annual meeting. If the transaction with Oriental Wave is, for any reason, not completed, the two nominees, if elected, have indicated that they will appoint at least three additional directors to the board (who will be the three current members not nominated for re-election). The term of office for the directors elected at this meeting will expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2005 or until their successors are duly appointed.

Directors are elected by a plurality (excess of votes cast over opposing nominees) of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the two nominees. If any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the annual meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the present board to fill the vacancy. We have no reason to believe that any nominee, if elected, will be unable to serve as a director. Each director has agreed to serve as a director, if elected.

Information Concerning Board Committees and Meetings

Our board of directors held a total of four meetings during 2003. No director during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 attended fewer than 75% of (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which any director served.

We do not have a formal policy regarding the attendance of our directors at annual or special meetings of shareholders, but we encourage directors to attend such meetings. All of our directors attended the last annual meeting of shareholders.

We do not have a nominating committee of the board and the board believes it is appropriate not to have such a committee as a result of the ability of the board, as a whole, to provide similar functions as to those that would otherwise be provided by a nominating committee. After completion of the share exchange with Oriental Wave the board may consider creating a nominating committee prior to the 2005 annual meeting.

All of our directors participate in the consideration of director nominees. Candidates may come to the board’s attention through current directors, management, shareholders or other persons. Candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the board and may be considered at any point during the year. The board may take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person recommending the candidate, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the board or management.

We do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. However, the board will review correspondence and other communications it receives from security holders and, therefore, is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to have such a policy. The board will consider candidates recommended by security holders and will do so upon their receipt of information that includes the candidates name and qualifications. The information can be delivered to us as provided below in the section entitled “Contacting Our Board of Directors”.

- 78 -

The audit committee of the board of directors held a total of three meetings during 2003. Mr. Philip Yuen Pak Yin and Dr. Yin Kwong Sun served as members of the audit committee. In order to assist the audit committee and to more effectively communicate the purpose and functions of the audit committee to the board, management, employees and shareholders, the audit committee has adopted an audit committee charter.

In discharging its duties, the audit committee performs the following functions, among others: (i) reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit, non-audit services to be performed by the independent accountants and the independent accountants’ audit and non-audit fees; (ii) appoints and, as appropriate, replaces the independent auditors, pre-approves all audit and non-audit services of the independent accountants and assesses the qualifications and independence of the independent accountants; (iii) reviews the performance of our internal audit function, our auditing, accounting and financial reporting procedures and independent accountants; (iv) reviews the general scope of our accounting, financial reporting, annual audit and internal audit programs and matters relating to internal control systems; (v) monitors our compliance with related legal and regulatory requirements; (vi) retains, when necessary and appropriate, independent legal, accounting or other advisors, (vii) meets independently with our independent accountants and senior management; (viii) reviews and discusses with management periodic and annual reports prepared by us for filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including making a recommendation to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ix) reviews the results of the annual audit and interim financial statements, auditor independence issues and the adequacy of the written audit committee charter adopted by our board of directors. A report of the audit committee for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 is included below in the section entitled “Audit Committee Report.”

Audit Committee Report

This section will not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

The audit committee oversees the financial reporting process for us on behalf of the board of directors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the annual financial statements included in the annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the unaudited financial statements filed with our quarterly reports.

In accordance with Statements on Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 61, discussions were held with management and the independent auditors regarding the acceptability and the quality of the accounting principles used in the reports. These discussions included the clarity of the disclosures made therein, the underlying estimates and assumptions used in the financial reporting, and the reasonableness of the significant judgments and management decisions made in developing the financial statements. In addition, the audit committee has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from us and our management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. (Independence Discussions with Audit Committee)

The audit committee has also met and discussed with our management, and our independent auditors, issues related to the overall scope and objectives of the audits conducted, the internal controls used by us, and the selection of our independent auditors. In addition, the audit committee discussed with the independent auditors, with and without management present, the specific results of audit investigations and examinations and the auditor’s judgments regarding any and all of the above issues.

Pursuant to the reviews and discussions described above, the audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

By the 2003 Audit Committee

Mr. Philip Yuen Pak Yiu Dr. Yiu Kwong Sun.

On August 4, 2004, Mr. Yuen resigned as a member of the audit committee, leaving Dr. Sun as the sole member. In light of the important function of the audit committee, the board did not feel that there should be only one member to such committee. Therefore, the board eliminated the audit committee. Those functions are now assumed by the full board of directors. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the board intends to re-establish the audit committee of which the majority of the members will be independent.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During the past two fiscal years, we have been a party to transactions involving certain of our directors or executive officers. See also Notes 8, 9, 14 and 19(b) to our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Dragon has entered into a verbal agreement with a company controlled by Dr. Ken Cai, one of our directors. During 2002 we paid $80,000 and during 2003, we paid $40,000 to Dr. Cai’s company. The agreement was terminated in June 2003. Dr. Cai’s company provided oversight and management services to Company for its operations in China.

On October 6, 2000, we entered into an acquisition agreement with Alphatech Bioengineering to acquire its rights and technology relating to developing Hepatitis B vaccine through the application of genetic techniques on hamster ovary cells. Alphatech Bioengineering’s Hepatitis B vaccine is in the development stage. Alphatech Bioengineering is jointly owned by Dr. Longbin Liu and Mr. Philip Yuen, two of our directors. On June 5, 2001, Dragon amended the agreement with Alphatech to allow Dragon to pursue additional options for the Hepatitis B Vaccine project. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Dragon would explore different options for the Hepatitis B Vaccine project including, but not limited to, joint venture partnerships, establishing a production facility, and selling the project to a third party.

In the event that Dragon did not find an option regarding the Hepatitis B Vaccine project suitable to Dragon within nine months from the date of the Amended Agreement, Dr. Longbin Liu, one of the principals of Alphatech, would repurchase the Hepatitis B Vaccine project for $4.0 million, which was the purchase price that Dragon originally paid to Alphatech, and assume operational development. Dr. Liu was the President and CEO of Dragon at the time of both transactions. Dragon decided not to pursue the project and Dr. Liu demanded to repurchase the project on the agreed terms. Dr. Liu has paid Dragon $500,000 with the balance of $3.5 million, plus interest accruing at 6% per annum from September 2002, due September 5, 2003. Dr. Liu did not pay the remaining balance of $3.5 million on the due date of September 5, 2003. As a result of the non-payment, Dragon began legal action to collect the money.

During fiscal year 2000, Dragon paid $400,000 to Guanzhou Recomgen Biotech Co. Ltd. (“Guanzhou Recomgen”), a company incorporated in China, for the funding of its TPA research and development programs with the intention of acquiring the technology. Guanzhou Recomgen is controlled by Dr. Longbin Liu. Subsequent to the year-end, due to financial market and economic conditions, the Company decided not to proceed with the funding and the acquisition. In accordance with the agreement, Guanzhou Recomgen refunded the $400,000 to Dragon during fiscal 2002.

We have entered into a Patent Development Agreement dated January 14, 2002 with Dr. Longbin Liu and Novagen whereby we have the first right to select and acquire one patent resulting from the discover of a new gene or protein. In consideration of the right under the Patent Development Agreement, we paid Dr. Liu and Novagen $500,000 in the aggregate and warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The $500,000 will be refunded and warrant will be cancelled if no patent applications have been filed by January 14, 2005.

We have entered into a Project Development Agreement with Dr. Liu dated January 14, 2002 whereby Dr. Liu has agreed to conduct the research and development of G-CSF and Insulin for Dragon. Dragon will make payment for the development of G-CSF as follows: (i)$500,000 to be provided at the commencement of the research in the G-CSF Project; (ii) $500,000 to be provided when cell-line and related technology is established and animal experimentation commences in the G-CSF Project; (iii) $300,000 to be provided when a permit for clinical trials for G-CSF has been issued by the State Drug Administration of China (“SDA”); (iv) $200,000 to be provided when a new drug license for G-CSF is issued to Dragon by the SDA and (v)$500,000 to be paid as a bonus if the SDA issues the new drug license for G-CSF to Dragon before January 14, 2005.

For both the G-CSF and Insulin Projects: (i) If Dragon elects to cease development of the project it will forfeit any payments made and lose ownership of the Project, but it will not be obligated to make any further payments toward the Project; and (ii) if an application for permit for clinical trials is not submitted within three years with respect to the G-CSF Project by or four years with respect to the Insulin Project or if the SDA rejects the Project for technical or scientific reasons or if development of the project is terminated by Dr. Liu, then the Dr. Liu will refund to Dragon all amounts paid, without interest or deduction, with respect to the Project within six months.

During 2002, Dragon paid a total of $1,500,000 and $500,000 towards the Insulin and G-CSF Projects, respectively. Dragon has paid an additional $100,000 to a company controlled by Dr. Liu to produce Insulin samples for drug registration purposes. No payments were made by Dragon in 2003 under the Project Development Agreement.

On April 4, 2004, Dragon entered into an agreement with Dr. Longbin Liu and his affiliate to settle the amount owing to Dragon from his acquisition of the Hepatitis B Vaccine Project as well as cancellation of the Patent and Project Development agreements between the parties. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the G-CSF, Insulin and Hepatitis B Projects, including the rights of ownership and development obligations would revert to Dr. Liu.

In exchange, Dr Liu will pay to Dragon the $3,710,000 in principal and interest owing under the Hepatitis B Project as well as reimburse Dragon $1,330,000 that had been paid previously under the Patent and Project Development agreements. All amounts are due December 31, 2004 and the warrants granted to Dr. Liu under the Patent Development agreement will be cancelled. Dr. Liu has agreed to provide 2,600,000 common shares of Dragon, to be held in escrow, as security for the amounts owing. It is a condition of the agreement that 2,200,000 common shares of Dragon be placed in escrow by June 30, 2004.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows reflected 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 June 30, 2004, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instruction for Form 10-QSB pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the annual report previously filed on Form 10-KSB.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.	Proposed Business Combination

The Company has entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement with Oriental Wave Holding Ltd. (“Oriental”) whereby the Company would issue its common shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of Oriental. The transaction is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders and the regulatory authorities.

If the acquisition is consummated, the former shareholders of Oriental will own 68.35% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined Company resulting in accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisition being applied to record the transaction. Under this basis of accounting, Oriental would be the acquirer and, accordingly, the consolidated entity would be considered to be a continuation of Oriental with the net assets of the Company deemed to have been acquired and recorded at fair market value.

7.	Due from Related Party - Hepatitis B Vaccine Project

Less : Repayment		—		(500,000	)
Valuation allowance		—		(3,499,900	)

	$	—	$	100

(a)

Pursuant to an agreement dated October 6, 2000, the Company paid $4,000,000 for the acquisition of certain assets and technology relating to the production of Hepatitis B vaccine. The vendor of the transaction was a company named Alphatech Bioengineering Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong, with two shareholders who are both directors of the Company.

(b)

Pursuant to an amended agreement dated June 5, 2001, in the event that the Company failed to find a joint venture partner, establish a production facility for the vaccine project or sell the project to a third party within nine months from the date of the amended agreement, Dr. Longbin Liu, a director of the Company (and President and CEO of the Company at the time of the transaction) and one of the shareholders of Alphatech, demanded to repurchase the project from the Company. The repurchase price of $4.0 million is payable as follows:

(i)

$500,000 at the date of repurchase; and

(ii)

the balance to be paid within eighteen (18) months of the date of repurchase with interest at 6% per annum. The interest will be accrued from six months after the date of repurchase.

In April 2002, the Company decided not to pursue the project and Dr. Liu has repurchased the project on the agreed terms.

The amount owing by Dr. Liu to the Company was unsecured. The Company chose, given the significant amount involved and the lack of security, to conservatively value the amount owing and set up a provision in fiscal 2002 for the full amount, less a nominal amount of $100. Dr. Liu defaulted on repayment in September 2003 but subsequently renegotiated repayment terms with the Company (see note 5).

8.	Patent Rights – Related Party

Pursuant to an agreement dated January 14, 2002, the Company entered into a Patent Development Agreement with the Dr. Longbin Liu, a director of the Company (and President and CEO of the Company at the time of the transaction) and a company controlled by the Dr. Liu entitling the Company to acquire one patent filed in the United States related to the discovery of a new gene or protein. Consideration for the right to acquire the patent was payment of $500,000 (paid) and the issuance of warrants to acquire 1,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $2.50 per share for a period of five years. The patent may be acquired prior to January 14, 2005 at no additional cost other than the reasonable legal costs of obtaining the patent.

The issuance and exercise of the warrants to acquire 1,000,000 common stock of the Company is contingent upon the success of the patent applications. The $500,000 will be refunded to the Company if no patent applications have been filed by January 14, 2005. The Company has reached settlement with Dr. Liu on this and other projects (note 5) and the warrants have been cancelled.

	$	2,803,178		$	2,924,198

Amortization expense for the licence and permit for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 was $275,975 (2003 - $275,956)

The estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:


2004 (balance of the year)	$	276,000
2005	$	552,000
2006	$	552,000
2007	$	552,000
2008	$	552,000

The above amortization expense forecast is an estimate. Actual amounts of amortization expense may differ from estimated amounts due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, impairment of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of licence and permit, and other events.

10.

Income Taxes

(a)

Kailong and Huaxin are subject to income taxes in China on its taxable income as reported in its statutory accounts at a tax rate in accordance with the relevant income tax laws.

Allwin and Biotrade are not subject to income taxes. As at June 30, 2004, $3.9 million of unremitted earnings attributable to international companies were considered to be indefinitely invested. No provision has been made for taxes that might be payable if these earnings were remitted to the United States. The Company’s intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings when it is tax effective to do so. It is not practicable to determine the amount of incremental taxes that might arise were these earnings to be remitted.

As at June 30, 2004, the Company has estimated losses, for tax purposes, totalling approximately $10,100,000, which may be applied against future taxable income. The potential tax benefits arising from these losses have not been recorded in the financial statements. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation is recognized in connection with options granted to employees except if options are granted with a strike price below fair value of the underlying stock. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, the Company is required to calculate and present the pro forma effect of all awards granted. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of each option granted to an employee has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, dividend yield 0%, volatility of 90%, and expected lives of approximately 0 to 5 years. Based on the computed option values and the number of the options issued, had the Company recognized compensation expense, the following would have been its effect on the Company’s net loss:

DRAGON PHARMACEUTICAL INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1.	Nature of Business

The Company was formed on August 22, 1989 as First Geneva Investments Inc. under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company changed its name to Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. on August 31, 1998. Pursuant to a share exchange agreement, dated July 29, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Allwin Newtech Ltd. (“Allwin”) by issuing 7,000,000 common shares of the Company. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

Allwin was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on February 10, 1998. Pursuant to a Sino-Foreign Co-operative Company Contract, dated April 18, 1998, Allwin and a Chinese corporation formed a limited liability company under the Chinese law, named as Sanhe Kailong Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kailong”), located in Hebei Province, China. Allwin has a 95% interest in Kailong. Pursuant to another Sino-foreign Co-operative Company Contract, dated July 27, 1999, Allwin completed the acquisition of a 75% interest in Nanjing Huaxin Bio-pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Huaxin”). In January 2002, the Company acquired the balance of Huaxin for $1,400,000. Kailong is inactive and Huaxin is in the business of research and development, production and sales of pharmaceutical products in China. Allwin Biotrade Inc. (“Biotrade) was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on June 6, 2000 for the purpose of marketing and distributing biopharmaceutical products outside China. Dragon Pharmaceutical (Canada) Inc. (“Dragon Canada”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on September 15, 2000 for the purpose of researching and developing new biopharmaceutical products.

2.	Change in Accounting Policies

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This statement requires that intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over its useful life or estimated useful life. Indefinite life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if any events occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

The adoption of SFAS No. 142 does not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

3.	Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Allwin, Kailong, Huaxin, Biotrade and Dragon Canada. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

(b)

Principles of Accounting

These financial statements are stated in US Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(c)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:


Motor vehicle		5 years
Lab equipment		8 years
Office equipment and furniture		5 years
Leasehold improvements		Term of lease (5 - 10 years)
Production equipment		10 years

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets’ carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Effective January 1, 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144. This statement retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 (Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Ling-Lived Assets to Be Disclosed of) to recognize impairments on Property, Plant and Equipment, but removes goodwill from its scope. The adoption of SAFS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

(e)

Foreign Currency Translations

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries (whose functional currency is Renminbi Yuan or Canadian dollars) are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rate. Gain and losses from such translations are included in stockholders’ equity, as a component of other comprehensive income.

(f)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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.

(g)

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

(i)

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 did not change the current accounting treatments for components of comprehensive income.

(j)

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

Fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts receivable, bank loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company occasionally maintains balances in a financial institution beyond the insured amount. As of December 31, 2003, the Company did not have any deposits above insured limits.

The Company is operating in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and the Chinese currency RMB. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company’s’ large number of diverse customers in different locations in China. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.

(k)

License and Permit

License and permit, in relation to the production and sales of pharmaceutical products in China, is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years.

License and permit is tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

(l)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with maturities of three months or less. As at December 31, 2003, cash equivalents consist of commercial papers and redeemable term deposits.

(m)

Inventories

Inventories are reviewed for obsolescence at period end and are stated at the lower of cost and replacement cost with respect to raw materials and the lower of cost and net realizable value with respect to finished goods. Cost includes direct material, direct labour and overhead and is calculated using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value represents the anticipated selling price less further costs for completion and distribution.

(n)

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue is recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers as at that point the price has been determined, the risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred and collectibility is reasonably assured.

(o)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An amendment of SFAS No. 123”. SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation. The Company continues to account for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per share”. Diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share for the because common stock equivalents consisting of options to acquire 2,599,000 common shares and warrants to acquire 1,050,000 common shares that are outstanding at December 31, 2003 are anti-dilutive, however, they may be dilutive in future.

(q)

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. The adoption of SFAS 133 does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(r)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This interpretation clarifies how to identify variable interest entities and how the Company should assess its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate the entity. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, in which the Company obtains an interest after that date. Also, FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal quarter or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which the Company holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company has not determined the impact FIN 46 may have on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 30, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132(R), a revision to SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS No. 132(R) requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. SFAS No. 132(R) is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, with the exception of disclosure requirements related to foreign plans and estimated future benefit payments which are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 132(R) did not impact its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) expressed the opinion that rate-lock commitments represent written put options, and therefore be valued as a liability. The SEC expressed that they expect registrants to disclose the effect on the financial statement of recognizing the rate-lock commitments as written put options, for quarters commencing after March 15, 2004. Additionally, the SEC recently issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105. SAB No. 105 clarifies the SEC’s position that the inclusion of cash flows from servicing or ancillary income in the determination of the fair value of interest rate lock commitments is not appropriate. The Company has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements of SAB No. 105, which must be implemented for loan commitments entered into on or after April 1, 2004. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the SEC’s position and will, if required, account for its loan origination commitments as prescribed.

Pursuant to an amended agreement dated June 5, 2001, in the event that the Company failed to find a joint venture partner, establish a production facility for the vaccine project or sell the project to a third party within nine months from the date of this amended agreement, Dr. Longbin Liu, a director of the Company (and President and CEO of the Company at the time of the transaction) and one of the shareholders of Alphatech, demanded to repurchase the project from the Company. The repurchase price of $4.0 million is payable as follows:

(i)

$500,000 at the date of repurchase; and

(ii)

the balance to be paid within eighteen (18) months of the date of repurchase with interest at 6% per annum. The interest will be accrued from six months after the date of repurchase.

In April 2002, the Company decided not to pursue the project and Dr. Liu has repurchased the project on the agreed terms.

The amount owing by Dr. Liu to the Company was unsecured. The Company chose, given the significant amount involved and the lack of security, to conservatively value the amount owing and has set up a provision in fiscal 2002 for the full amount, less a nominal amount of $100. Dr. Liu defaulted on repayment in September 2003 but subsequently renegotiated repayment terms with the Company (see note 19(b)).

Income Taxes

(a)

Kailong and Huaxin are subject to income taxes in China on its taxable income as reported in its statutory accounts at a tax rate in accordance with the relevant income tax laws.

Allwin and Biotrade are not subject to income taxes. As at December 31, 2003, $4.1 million of unremitted earnings attributable to international companies were considered to be indefinitely invested. No provision has been made for taxes that might be payable if these earnings were remitted to the United States. The company’s intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings when it is tax effective to do so. It is not practicable to determine the amount of incremental taxes that might arise were these earnings remitted.

As at December 31, 2003, the company has estimated losses, for tax purposes, totalling approximately $9,520,000, which may be applied against future taxable income. The potential tax benefits arising from these losses have not been recorded in the financial statements. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

(b)

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset (liability) are as follows:


	2003			2002			2001
Tax losses carried forward	$	3,237,000		$	2,560,000		$	1,175,000

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation is recognized in connection with options granted to employees and directors except if options are granted with a strike price below fair value of the underlying stock. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, the Company is required to calculate and present the pro forma effect of all awards granted. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of each option granted to an employee has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, dividend yield 0%, volatility of 90% (2002 - 90%, 2001 - 89%), and expected lives of approximately 0 to 5 years. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was $0.48 (2002: $1.15; 2001: $1.80). Based on the computed option values and the number of the options issued, had the Company recognized compensation expense, the following would have been its effect on the Company’s net loss:

ORIENTAL WAVE HOLDING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2003

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Oriental Wave Holding Limited (“Oriental Wave”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 7, 2003. Shanxi Weiqida Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Shanxi Weiqida”), a People’s Republic of China limited liability company was incorporated on January 22, 2002. Shanxi Weiqida is principally engaged in research and development, manufacturing and selling of pharmaceutical products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

During 2003, Shanxi Weiqida’s shareholders exchanged 100% of their ownership of Shanxi Weiqida for 50,000 shares of Oriental Wave under a reorganization plan. The transfer has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control as the companies were beneficially owned by identical shareholders and share common management. The financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. Oriental Wave and Shanxi Weiqida are hereafter referred to as (the “Company”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

The accompanying 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oriental Wave and its 100% owned subsidiary Shanxi Weiqida. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(B) Use of Estimates

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2003

(C) Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits with a bank.

(D) Accounts Receivable

(E) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out method. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand and product expiration dates.

(F) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:


Leasehold land and buildings		50 Years
Plant and machinery		10 Years
Motor vehicles		8 Years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		5 Years

(G) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Depreciable assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based on projected undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets. A loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the assets. Fair value is determined based upon market quote, if available, or is based on valuation techniques.

The carrying amount of the Company’s cash, receivables and payables and short-term bank loan approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

ORIENTAL WAVE HOLDING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2003

(H) Intangible Assets

Under the Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, all goodwill and certain intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets other than goodwill will be amortized over their useful lives of 10 years and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

(I) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products at the time when title to the products transfers, the amount is fixed and determinable, evidence of an agreement exists, and the customer bears the risk of loss, net of estimated provisions for returns, rebates and sales allowances.

(J) Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $13,041 and $10,090 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

(K) Research and Development

Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed currently. Total expenditures on research and development charged to selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $96,756 and $966, respectively.

(L) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company is organized in the British Virgin Islands and the People’s Republic of China and no tax benefit is expected from the tax credits in the future. The Company located its factories in a special economic region in China. This economic region allows foreign enterprises a two-year income tax exemption beginning in the first year after they become profitable and a 50% income tax reduction for the following three years. The Company was approved as a wholly owned foreign enterprise in October 2002.

ORIENTAL WAVE HOLDING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2003

Pursuant to a new regulation, “No. 142 enacted during 2004 by the Shanxi Province National Taxation Administration”, foreign investment enterprises established after January 31, 2002 will not be exempted from the Provincial income tax, which is 3% of the taxable income (derived under Chinese GAAP). The Company will continue to be exempt from central government tax as a foreign enterprise. The Company was established as a wholly foreign owned enterprise on September 30, 2002. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is $352,409, and $0, respectively.

(M) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into United States dollars using period end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and stockholder’s equity as other comprehensive gain (loss).

(N) Comprehensive Income

The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollar is reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity.

(O) Segments

The Company operates in two reportable segments, Bulk Drugs and Formulation.

(P) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB 51”. FIN No. 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities of which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIE’s”) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the “Primary Beneficiary”). In addition, FIN No. 46 required that both the Primary Beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. The transitional disclosure requirements of FIN No. 46 are required in all financial statements initially issued after January 31, 2003, if certain conditions are met.

contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The changes in SFAS No. 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and all of its provisions should be applied prospectively.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet.

SFAS No. 150 affects the issuer’s accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involve instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under this Statement is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuer’s shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety.

Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities of FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements”. The remaining provisions of this statement are consistent with the FASB’s proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own shares. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

The adoption of these pronouncements did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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 financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The changes in SFAS No. 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and all of its provisions should be applied prospectively.

Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. & Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003

(Expressed in US Dollars)

1. Basis of Presentation

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for inclusion in the proxy statement presented to shareholders of Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. (“Dragon”) for their consideration in determining whether to approve the acquisition of Oriental Wave Holdings Limited (“Oriental Wave”).

The accompanying unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of Dragon in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States. In the opinion of the management, the pro-forma consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States.

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the proposed acquisition described in Note 2. These pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual results which would have been attained had the combination been in effect on the date indicated or may be attained in the future.

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared from information derived from information derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Dragon and Oriental Wave as at December 31, 2003 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Dragon and Oriental Wave as at June 30, 2004 included elsewhere herein. These pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of both Dragon and Oriental Wave for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004.

2. Share Purchase Agreement and Assumptions

Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated June 11, 2004, we agreed to issue 44,491,207 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave. The exchange of shares will result in the former shareholders of Oriental Wave owning a majority of our shares and, consequently, accounting principles applicable to a reverse take-over have been applied to record the transaction. Under this basis of accounting, Oriental Wave has been identified as the acquirer and, accordingly, the combined company is considered to be a continuation of the operations of Oriental Wave and include our accounts from the acquisition date. The pro forma consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004 have been prepared as though the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2003 and the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six-months ended June 30, 2004 have been prepared as though the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2003.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following pro forma adjustments:

(a) Adjustment to record acquisition of the net assets of Dragon by Oriental Wave as though the acquisition occurred December 31, 2003. The net assets acquired are:


Cash and short term securities	$	3,126,667
Accounts receivable		1,265,676
Inventories		1,090,464
Due from director		500,100
Prepaid and deposits		139,595

Total Current Assets		6,122,502
Fixed Assets		2,089,352
Other Assets
Intangible and other assets, net		2,924,198

Total Assets		11,136,052
Less accounts payables and accrued liabilities		(1,428,257	)

Net assets acquired	$	9,707,795

The Patent rights and Hep B Vaccine have been reclassified to Due from Director to reflect the settlement agreement signed with Dr. Liu on April 4, 2004. Under the agreement, previous agreements entered into with Dr. Liu have been cancelled and replaced with Dr. Liu’s requirement to pay Dragon a total of $5.04 million. The settlement agreement became effective June 30, 2004 upon Dr. Liu placing 2.2 million common shares of Dragon in escrow as security for the amount owing.

(b) Oriental Wave’s stockholders have agreed to defer 42 million RMB (US$5.1 million) in current amounts payable to become due in March 2006. The shareholders further agreed to the conversion of 20 million RMB (US$2,420,000) of the debt to equity upon the completion of the acquisition. These pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect these transactions having occurred on December 31, 2003.

(c) If the transaction is approved by shareholders but the increase in authorized share capital does not receive the required vote there will be a partial closing of the acquisition with Dragon issuing 27,371,500 million shares in exchange for 60% of the shares of Oriental Wave. Dragon will complete the full acquisition of Oriental Wave once the increase in authorized capital transactions is approved. Until that time, there will be a 40% minority interest in Oriental Wave. Dragon and the shareholders of Oriental Wave may change the number of shares issued and acquired in the first closing, though we will not complete the first closing unless we acquire more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave.

Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc.

1055 Hasting Street, Suite 1900

Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2E9

June 18, 2004

Mr. Yanlin Han

Mr. Zhanguo Weng

Ms. Xuemei Liu

Dear Sirs and Mesdames,

Share Purchase Agreement

We have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) dated June 11, 2004 with you and Oriental Wave Holding Ltd. (“Oriental Wave”) under which Dragon will acquire from you all outstanding shares of Oriental Wave. To complete the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, Dragon must amend its articles to increase the number of its authorized common shares (the “Amendment”). Dragon intends to submit the Amendment to Dragon’s shareholders for approval at its annual general meeting, anticipated to be held in September, 2004 (the “Meeting”). To be effective, the Amendment must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dragon. We will use all reasonable efforts to obtain such approval, including the hiring at our expense of a proxy solicitation firm to assist in the process.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Agreement, we agree that if the Amendment is not approved by Dragon’s shareholders at the Meeting, we will complete the purchase and sale of the shares of Oriental Wave by way of a two-stage closing, completed as follows:

•

in the first stage of the closing, Dragon will acquire on a pro rata basis that percentage of the outstanding shares of Oriental Wave that is equal to the percentage of the shares of Dragon that are available to be issued to you before the implementation of the Amendment. Based on the current number of outstanding shares of Dragon, we expect to be able to acquire approximately 60% of the Oriental Wave shares at this first closing and issue to you the same percentage of the total number of Dragon shares due under the Agreement;

•

as soon as practicable after the first closing, Dragon will re-submit the Amendment to Dragon’s shareholders for approval, either at a special meeting of the shareholders or by consent resolution, and, upon the Amendment being approved, Dragon will promptly take all necessary action to give effect to the Amendment; and

as soon as practicable after the Amendment is effective, we will complete the second stage of the closing. At the second closing we will acquire the balance of the Oriental Wave shares held by you in exchange for the balance of the Dragon shares due to be issued to you under the Agreement.

We agree that you will not be obligated to complete the first closing unless we are able to issue to you in the first closing sufficient shares such that after such issue you will, as a group, own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Dragon. Your and our obligation to complete the closing in two stages is also subject to the completion of a formal amendment to the Agreement to provide for the two-stage closing before the first closing date. We all agree to negotiate such amendment in good faith.

The escrow provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement will be applied on a pro rata basis to the shares of Dragon issued on each closing.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, we ask that an authorized signatory of Oriental Wave and Mr. Han, on his behalf and on behalf of Mr. Weng and Ms. Liu, execute and return to us a copy of the acknowledgement of this letter agreement. Upon receipt by us of an executed copy of the acknowledgement, it along with this letter will form a binding agreement among Dragon, Mr. Han, Mr. Weng, Ms. Liu and Oriental Wave, and will supplement and form part of the Agreement.

Sincerely yours,

Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc.
