CHINA AOXING PHARMACEUTICAL CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 filed on October 14, 2009.
2 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“the Company” or ‘China Aoxing”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain-management products. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had one operating subsidiary: Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“Hebei”), which is organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). During the year ended June 30, 2009, Hebei integrated into itself the business operations of Shijazhuang Lerentang Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“LRT”), which had been an operating subsidiary acquired by Hebei in May 2008.
Since 2002, Hebei has been engaged in developing narcotics and pain management products, building its facilities and obtaining the requisite licenses from the Chinese Government. Headquartered in Shijiazhuang City, the pharmaceutical capital of China, outside of Beijing, Hebei now has China's largest and the most advanced manufacturing facility for highly regulated narcotic medicines, addressing a very under-served and fast-growing market in China. Its facility is one of the few GMP facilities licensed for manufacturing narcotics medicines. The Company is working closely with the Chinese government and SFDA to assure the strictly regulated availability to medical professionals throughout China of its narcotic drugs and pain medicines.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of the carrying amount and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable, realizable values for inventories, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, purchase price allocation of its acquisitions and share-based compensation expenses. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
Impairment of long lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the convertible debentures and warrants (see Note 7 and 8). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized other income of approximately $2,481,533, as compared to other losses of $996,285 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, relating to recording the changes in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 there were approximately $887,369 and $4,992,370 of warrant and derivative liabilities, as the related debt instruments were not settled.
The Company’s derivative instruments were valued using the black-scholes option pricing model, based on the following historic data and assumptions on December 31, 2009:
Estimated dividends | | None | |
Expected volatility | | | 62.60 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 0.20 – 1.14 | % |
Expected term (years) | | | 0.33 – 1.71 | |
| | | | |
The expected volatility was determined based on the historic quoted market price of the common stock. Risk free interest rate was determined based on the quoted US treasury rate under the same expected term with each corresponding financial instrument.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, FASB issued new guidance establishing general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, or subsequent events. An entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, FASB established Accounting Standards Codification TM (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted the new guidance for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which changed the way we reference accounting standards in our disclosures. Adoption of the Codification is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In August 2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide additional guidance on estimating the fair value of a liability in a hypothetical transaction where the liability is transferred to a market participant. The standard is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

4 RESTRUCTURING OF BANK OF CHINA LOAN
In October 2009, the Company reached a restructuring agreement with Eastern Asset Management Company “(“EAMC”), a nationwide investment company based in China which acquired the ownership of the loan from Bank of China. Prior to the restructuring, the outstanding balance of the debt was $7,911,560 (approximately 54,092,916 RMB), including $6,101,203 (or 41,715,142 RMB) of principal and $1,748,724 (or 11,961,278 RMB) of accrued interest. Under the restructuring agreement, the Company received the forgiveness from EAMC in the amount of $3,579,085 (or 24,475,820 RMB), including $1,830,361 (or 12,514,542 RMB) of principal and $1,748,724 (or 11,961,278 RMB) of accrued interest. The total outstanding balance of the debt was reduced to $4,270,842 (approximately 29,200,600 RMB) as of October 1, 2009. The Company repaid this debt on October 1, 2009 with the proceeds of RMB32,000,000 36-month bridge loan.
In order to restructure the Bank of China loans, on October 1, 2009, the Company obtained a bridge loan (“Bridge Loan”) in the principal amount of $4,680,278 (or 32 million RMB) from a group of seven individuals. The maturity date of the loan is September 30, 2012. The Bridge Loan bears interest at 12% for the six month period ended March 31, 2010, then the interest rate is reduced to 9.6% per annum until the maturity date of September 30, 2012. The Company has the option to pay part or the entirety of the loan prior to the maturity date without penalty. The loan is collateralized with two buildings by Hebei Aoxing’s facility. One of the loan holders is a relative of our CEO, who invested $716,668 in the Bridge Loan.

In 2006, the Company issued 10% convertible debentures for $2,116,000 and the Series A, B, C and D Warrants. The 10% convertible debentures were converted to common stock by September 30, 2008. The Series A, B, C and D Warrants are exercisable for five years at prices ranging from $2.50 to $5.50 and may be redeemed by the Company if the market price of its common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants.
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold $1,173,000 of convertible debentures, which bear interest at 8% per annum, are payable semi-annually and are due May 1, 2010. Interest will accrue on the principal amount at 8% per annum and will be payable on January 1st and July 1st each year. The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the greater of (a) $5.00, or (b) 75% of the average of the closing bid prices reported for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion.
Convertible debentures outstanding as of December 31, 2009, are as follows: | |
| | | |
Convertible debentures issued | | | 3,289,000 | |
Less amounts converted to common stock | | | (2,116,000 | ) |
| | | 1,173,000 | |
Less debt discount | | | (59,706 | ) |
Balance – December 31, 2009 | | | 1,113,294 | |
The terms of the convertible debentures and warrants include certain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments, such as a conversion feature which provides for the conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate which is variable. Because the debentures are not conventional convertible debt, the Company is required to record the derivative financial instruments and the warrants issued in connection with the convertible debentures at their fair values as of the issuance date of each of the debentures.
8 WARRANTS
In 2006 the Company issued the Series A, B, C and D Warrants in connection with issuance of 10% convertible debentures. The terms of the Series A, B, C and D Warrants require that whenever the Company issues common stock for a price less than $2.00 per share, an equitable adjustment to the exercise price be made in order to prevent dilution of the equity interests of the warrant holders. As a result of the private placement and loan conversion transactions in August 2009, the exercise price of the Series A, B, C and D Warrants was reduced, and accordingly, the number of shares that a warrant-holder may purchase was increased based on the terms of the warrants, effective on August 27, 2009. These warrants were issued in September 2006, are exercisable for five years and may be redeemed by the Company if the market price of its common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants.
As discussed in Note 3, FASB ASC 815-10 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. The fair value of embedded derivatives in connection with these warrants needs to be estimated. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The change of exercise price along with number of shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants would cause a change in the fair value of the warrants. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.
The following table summarizes the information relating to the revised exercise price and the number of shares that a warrant-holder may purchase in connection with the sales of convertible debentures referred in Note 10 above:
| | Original Exercise Price | | | Revised Exercise Price | | | Original Number of Outstanding | | | Revised Number of Outstanding | | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “China Aoxing believes,” “management believes” and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of China Aoxing and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 under Item 1A: “Risk Factors.” Actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Outline of Our Business
We are a specialized pharmaceutical company focusing on research, development, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of narcotics and pain management pharmaceutical products. Our product line is comprised of prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. Our pharmaceutical products have been approved by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration, or SFDA, based on demonstrated safety and efficacy. We sell our products primarily to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and retail in most of the provinces of China, including rural areas and major cities.
Pharmaceutical Industry in China: According to a recent ISI Emerging Markets Report, the pharmaceutical industry in China was approximately $27.7 billion in 2005 and China is forecast to become the world’s fifth largest pharmaceutical market by 2010. This growth is being driven by several factors, including improving standards of living,an increase in disposable income fueled by the growing economy, the aging population, the increasing participation in the State Basic Medical Insurance System, as well as the increase in government spending on public health care. The Chinese government pledged $4 billion for healthcare spending in 2007, an 81% increase from the $2.2 billion in 2006.
In August, 2009, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of China released an Essential Drug List of 300 drugs to be sold at controlled prices as part of its US$124 billion health care reform. The EDL includes both Western and Chinese medicines, targeting common antibiotics, pain relievers, high blood pressure, and etc. Thirty one products of our company are listed on the EDL. The Company, therefore, expects sales to MoH-related agencies to represent a significant source of revenue growth in future periods. The Company is working closely and negotiating with related government agencies on the product supply and purchase in the next several years.
Narcotics Industry in China: Currently, the pharmaceutical market in China is highly fragmented. We believe there are over 3,000 small enterprises currently engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products, and we expect significant consolidation of pharmaceutical business, products and technologies in China in near future. However, based on recent statistics provided by the China SFDA, there are only 13 pharmaceutical companies designated by the China SFDA as the narcotic drug producers in China.
Each of our pharmaceutical products has certain medicinal functions and has demonstrated safety and efficacy in accordance with the China SFDA requirements for the treatment of at least one or more therapeutic indications. Our products are produced in various formulations, such as injection, tablets, capsules, oral solution and powders. Our manufacturing facility in China is GMP certified, fully integrated with manufacturing support systems including quality assurance, quality control and regulatory compliance. We have developed our own independent quality control systems in accordance with SFDA regulations. Our quality assurance team devotes significant attention to quality control for designing, manufacturing and testing our products, and is also responsible for ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable national and local regulations and standards, as well as our internal policies. Our senior management team is also actively involved in setting quality assurance policies and managing internal and external quality performance. These support systems enable us to maintain high standards of quality for our products and deliver reliable products to our customers on a timely basis.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $1,556,431, a 33% decrease from the revenues of $2,315,709 realized during the three months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue was caused by the impact of our relocation of the LRT manufacturing facility in the summer of 2009. The consolidation of the LRT facility with our own necessitated that we obtain GMP re-certification of six formulations at the new facility. This has delayed our fulfillment of the purchase orders for those formulations. As of December 31, 2009, our new facility has successfully passed the GMP re-certification on capsule, tablet, granule and oral solution formulations while we are preparing for recertification on pill and tincture formulations.
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the revenues were $3,003,094, a 49% decrease from the revenues of $5,913,774 realized during the six months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue was caused by the delayed GMP re-certification discussed above.
Cost of sales was $540,516 for three months ended December 31, 2009, which was 41% less than the $1,331,695 in costs incurred during the three month ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin ratio was increased from 42% in the three months ended December 31, 2008 to 65% in the three months ended December 31, 2009. The primary reason for the improvement in gross margin was that Zhongtongan, our leading product for dental pain in the market, became a much more significant contributor to our revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009, due to our inability to fulfill sales of other products, pending re-certification. Zhongtongan has a much higher gross margin compared to some other products.
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, our cost of sales was $990,659, which was 70% less than the $3,269,040 in costs incurred during the six month ended December 31, 2008. The gross margin ratio was increased from 45% in the six months ended December 31, 2008 to 67% in the six months ended December 31, 2009 as Zhongtongan became a a much more significant contributor to our revenue with higher gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Gross profit was $1,015,915 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, or 3% higher than the $984,014 gross profit realized during the three months ended December 31, 2008, reflecting higher profit margin and larger contribution of Zhongtongan product during the three months ended December 31, 2009.
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, gross profit was $2,012,435, which was 24% less than the $2,644,734 in gross profit realized during the six months ended December 31, 2008, reflecting higher profit margin and larger contribution of Zhongtongan product during the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Research and development expenses were $78,761 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, similar to $73,907 occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2008. Our R&D expenses could fluctuate from period to period, reflecting the progress of our various development projects.
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, our research and development expenses were $192,064, 44% less than $340,236 spent for six months ended December 31, 2008. Our R&D expenses could fluctuate from period to period, reflecting the progress of our various development projects.
General and administrative expenses were $825,503 in the three months ended December 31, 2009, similar to $796,900 in the three months ended December 31, 2008. However, during the three months ended December 31, 2009, the stock-based compensation for service decreased to $71,227, from $304,277 in the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in cash spend on general and administrative expenses reflects our ramp-up of operations in anticipation of growth in sales.
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses was $1,702,987, 14% less than $1,989,792 spent during six months ended December 31, 2008, reflecting lower stock-based compensation for service incurred during the recent period.
Selling expenses in the amount of $287,404 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 were a 42% decrease from the $492,518 spent on selling during the three months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the consolidation of LRT’s selling expenses with ours and the ongoing general cost control measures undertaken by the Company.
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, selling expenses in the amount of $548,297 were a 51% decrease from the $1,123,536 spent on selling during the six months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the consolidation of LRT’s selling expenses with ours and the ongoing general cost control measures undertaken by the Company.
Our loss from operations decreased to $285,225 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $466,735 during the three months ended December 31, 2008. The 39% decrease in the loss was primarily due to the ongoing improvement of operational efficiency as well as the reduction in stock-based compensation.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, loss from operations decreased to $649,603 from $1,040,712 during the six months ended December 31, 2008. The 38% decrease in the loss was primarily due to the ongoing improvement of operational efficiency, cost cutting on selling expenses as well as the reduction in stock-based compensation.
Interest expense was $451,070 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, which was comparable to interest expense of $429,884 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Due to the volatility in the share price of our common stock during the recent quarter, the fair value of our outstanding warrant and derivative liabilities decreased by $4,623,692. The decrease was recorded as other income for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to an expense of $1,144,012 caused by the increased of fair value of the above mentioned derivative liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2008. The fair value of these financial derivatives will fluctuate along with volatility of the market price for our common stock.
During the three months ended December 31, 2009, a forgiveness of debt was recorded in the amount of $3,579,085 as a result of restructuring and refinancing of the outstanding Bank of China loan. In October 2009, the Company reached a restructuring agreement with Eastern Asset Management Company “(“EAMC”), a nationwide investment company based in China which acquired the ownership of the loan from Bank of China. Under the restructuring agreement, the Company received forgiveness of debt and accrued interest in the total amount of $3,579,085 while the total outstanding balance of the debt was reduced to $4,270,592 (approximately 29,200,600 RMB) as of October 1, 2009. The Company paid off this debt in October 2009 after it refinanced with a 36-month bridge loan.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $5,446,154, and income attributable to the Company after 5% minority interest was $5,282,170, mainly attributable to (1) the decrease in the fair value of our outstanding financial derivatives by the amount of $4,623,692 and (2) the forgiveness of debt related to Bank of China loan in the amount of $3,579,085. In comparison, during the three months ended December 31, 2008, the net loss was recorded in the $1,999,699, and the Company recorded net loss in the amount of $1,972,987 after 5% minority interest. This, however, included an expense of $1,144,012 attributable to the increase in the fair value of our outstanding financial derivatives.
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, net income was $3,135,371, as compared to a net loss of $1,318,348 occurred for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Excluding the 5% minority interest, the income attributable to the Company was $2,987,563 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a loss of $1,346,868 attributable to the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
We expect that the change of fair value of financial derivatives could continue to significantly impact our net income or loss over the next 24 months, depending on the volatility of the market price for our common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations during the six months ended December 31, 2009 used $598,303 in cash, as compared to $2,071,044 used for operations during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Our cash flows from investing activities amounted to a gain of $529,934 during the six months ended December 31, 2009. We purchased additional property and equipment in the amount of $420,692 while we received the final portion of the proceeds from the sales of LRT assets in the amount of $950,626.
Our cash flows from financing activities amounted to $5,198,142 during the six months ended December 31, 2009. During that period, we completed a private placement for a gross proceeds of $5 million with a total of fifteen institutional and other accredited investors of 5,263,158 of shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.95 per share. In addition, we secured a bridge loan of approximately $4,486,567 in connection with the restructuring of Bank of China loan.
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we significantly improved our working capital position. As of December 31, 2009, we had working capital of $5,992,086 as compared to a working capital deficit of $14,196,968 at June 30, 2009. The improvement of our working capital condition was attributable to (1) the $5 million private placement in August 2009; (2) conversion to common stock of $4,830,847 owed on account of a note that we issued to American Oriental Bioengineering, (3) cash realization through the divesture of the land and building of LRT, (4) forgiveness of debt and accrued interest amounted to $3,579,085 in connection with the restructuring of Bank of China loan and (5) refinancing Bank of China loan with a new loan secured on October 1, 2009 in the amount of $4,680,278 maturing on September 30, 2012, which changed a current liability into a long-term liability. We expect to continue to improve our liquidity as well as our capital structure in the coming year.
The capital injection and restructuring efforts over the last six months greatly improved the liquidity of the Company as we continue to develop our pharmaceutical products. Nevertheless, we will continue to explore various alternatives to improve our financial position and secure sources of financing. Among the possibilities being explored are new credit facilities, a new equity raise, new arrangements to license intellectual property, and a sale of selected property rights. At the present time we have no commitment from any source for additional funds.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
