Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a VAT in accordance with Chinese laws. The standard VAT is 17% of the gross sales price. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of unassembled medical components of the Company’s product used in contract and production can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the product.

The tax receivable as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represents VAT credit on the purchased products. These amounts can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished product.
