About Sunnylife Global

Sunnylife Global, Inc. is the only foreign company authorized by the PRC central government to acquire, control, and operate existing Level 2 private hospitals in the PRC.  To date, the Company has concluded 21 Letters of Intent relating to such hospitals, nine of which have moved to the contract stage or beyond.  All of the nine have been fully approved by the requisite departments of the local, regional, and central governments.  Renovation and modernization of two of the nine has been started and is at varying stages of completion. This program, aimed at creating a hospital chain or network, is part of the PRC's initiative to upgrade their Level 2 hospitals (those with 250-500 beds, of which there are more than 10,000 in the PRC) to international standards. The Company is arranging the financing for the renovation of the first two hospitals.

Hospitals owned and managed by Sunnylife will derive their revenues principally from a health-care plan known as a Healthcare Management System (similar to an HMO).  Each HMS typically has about 50,000 members and receives fees of $375 - $425 per member per year.  Enrollment has begun.  Because they function within a more predictable cost environment (i.e., professionals, support staff, pharmaceuticals, insurance, etc.), hospitals within the PRC typically have higher operating margins than hospitals in the West.

The Company has plans to build and operate several assisted-living centers, each providing for the needs of approximately 3,000 people.  The PRC government has committed to contributing the real estate required for these assisted-living facilities.  The initial two plots have been designated, each of which covers 82 acres.  Financing for construction of the first assisted- living facility has been committed.  More than 46,000 people have pre-applied for the first assisted-living facility.  The assisted-care industry in the PRC is expected to grow to one of the largest industries in the world over the next 20 years.
