RE: China Health Holdings, Inc.
10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
10-QSB for the Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2005
File No. 333-119034
Dear Ms. Lu:
We have limited our review of your Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004, and Form 10-QSB for the fiscal
quarter
ended June 30, 2005, to disclosures relating to your contacts with
countries that have been identified as state sponsors of
terrorism,
and will make no further review of the Form 10-KSB and Form 10-
QSB.
Our review with respect to this issue does not preclude further
review by the Assistant Director group with respect to other
issues.
At this juncture, we are asking you to provide us with
supplemental
information, so that we may better understand your disclosure.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your response. After
reviewing
this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your
filings.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.
General -
We note that on page 9 of your 10-QSB filed August 15, 2005, for
the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2005, you state that you entered
into
two licensing agreements on March 9, 2004, with Hotway
Nutraceutical
Canada, Co. Ltd. The first agreement granted licenses to 19
cordyceps
products and the second agreement granted licenses to De-Daibe and
Depressor Herbs neutraceutical products. Both agreements cover a
number of countries, including Iran. In light of the fact that
Iran
has been identified by the U.S. State Department as a state
sponsor
of terrorism and is subject to economic sanctions administered by
the
U.S. Treasury Department`s Office of Foreign Assets Control,
please
describe for us the extent of your past, current and anticipated
contacts, directly or indirectly, with Iran; the materiality to
you
of your contacts, or intended contacts, with Iran; and your view
as
to whether those contacts constitute a material investment risk
for
your security holders. In preparing your response please consider
that evaluations of materiality should not be based solely on
quantitative factors, but should include consideration of all
factors
that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an
investment decision, including the potential impact of corporate
activities upon a company`s reputation and share value. In this
regard, we note that legislation requiring divestment from, or
reporting of interests in, companies that do business with
countries
designated as state sponsors of terrorism has recently been
adopted
by Arizona and Louisiana.
