university in the PRC known for its research capabilities and was the first
university to establish a pharmaceutical engineering department. Numerous
students have graduated with strong chemical and pharmaceutical engineering

inception. Professor Ji will serve as the Center's manager. He will utilize his
established background in both teaching and research for chemical applications
and medicine engineering, for which he owns two patents.

instruments for the purpose of pursuing targeted research and development of
refined bromide compounds and end products. According to co-op research
agreement, any research achievement or patents will be assets of Gulf Resources,
Inc. To date, the Center has already made substantial progress and currently two
compounds are being tested which carry the names 3.4.5-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde
and Mbromoanisole. These compounds will be utilized as raw materials by
pharmaceutical manufacturers to produce various antibiotics. Management
anticipates that these two compounds will contribute approximately $10 million
in revenues during the first full year of commercialization.
