Company is listed in the pink sheets; is a Canadian company; has VScan test kits in approval process with SDA in China (expected soon per company PRs); has factory in Far East with approvals to produce and ship (see recent PRs); PPS is down from a early 2004 run when Peru approval was received - reached about $.02; is now about $.0035 (asked). May be a good speculation - estimates in $.05-.10 range if China approval received.
