"The first quarter marked another strong quarter," commented Mr. Xiaodong Wu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The strong growth in both our revenue and net income compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of both our HIFU HIFU High-intensity focused ultrasound Surgery A method that focuses ultrasound to heat/ablate target tissue without injuring surrounding structures. See Sonablate 200™.  therapy system and our ECLIA ECLIA Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay  system. Although the overall revenues for the quarter were affected by typical seasonality in our HIFU business, which resulted in a sequential decrease in HIFU sales, sales from our ECLIA business, especially sales of reagents kits, continued to show both strong year-over-year and sequential growth since they are not affected by the same seasonality. We launched 18 new reagent reagent /re·a·gent/ (re-a´jent) a substance used to produce a chemical reaction so as to detect, measure, produce, etc., other substances.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues, net. Total net revenues increased 47.8% to RMB90.9 million (US$11.4 million) in 1Q FY2006 from RMB61.5 million in 1Q FY2005, but decreased 18.6% from RMB111.7 million in 4Q FY2005 because of the seasonality of HIFU therapy system sales System sales is a business term used in the franchising industry. Franchisors provide supplies, marketing and administration services to franchisees in return for a part of the franchisees' revenues. Some franchisors also operate some outlets directly. . The Company's revenues are divided between two operating lines, HIFU therapy system sales and ECLIA system sales, which include sales of ECLIA analyzers and reagent kits.

Revenues from the sales of the Company's HIFU therapy system increased 30.7% to RMB48.1 million (US$6.0 million) in 1Q FY2006 from RMB36.8 million in 1Q FY2005, but decreased 34.9% from RMB73.9 million in 4Q FY2005. The year-over-year increase in HIFU therapy system sales resulted from the increased awareness and acceptance of the Company's HIFU therapy system in the medical community, but the sequential decrease was due to seasonality in the HIFU business.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 23.8% in 1Q FY2006 from 14.0% in 1Q FY2005 and 22.5% in 4Q FY2005. The higher percentage was also due to the lower seasonal sales of the HIFU therapy system in 1Q FY2006 compared to 4Q FY2005.

Other income. There was no other income in this quarter. Other income of RMB5.9 million in 4Q FY2005 related to the fee received from the secondary offering in March 2006.

OUTLOOK FOR FY2006

We estimate the annual net revenues for FY2006 will be between RMB521 million (US$65.2 million) and RMB533 million (US$66.7 million) and annual net income for FY2006 will be between RMB263 million (US$32.9 million) and RMB271 million (US$33.9 million). The estimated annual net revenues represent a growth rate of 40.1% to 43.4% and the estimated annual net income represents a growth rate of 32.2% to 36.2%. Given the current outstanding shares of 27.36 million equivalent ADS, the estimated earnings per ADS will be between RMB9.61 (US$1.20) and RMB9.90 (US$1.24). If we apply the same number of outstanding shares to the net income of RMB199.0 million for FY2005 and exclude the one-off other income of RMB5.9 million from the net income, the pro-forma earnings Pro-Forma Earnings

(1) The weighted average number of ADS (each ADS represents 10
    ordinary shares) used to calculate earnings per ADS for period
    prior to the corporate reorganization in January 2005 has been
    retrospectively determined based upon the exchange ratio used to
    issue shares as part of the reorganization. For the periods ended
    June 30, 2005 and 2006 and March 31, 2006, diluted earnings per
    ADS have been computed to give effect to 800,000 ordinary shares
    issuable upon exercise of the options granted on March 14, 2005
    and August 8, 2005.

    Details of the reorganization can be found in the Company's F-1
    filed with the SEC on August 10, 2005.
