NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(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/A for the year ended June 30, 2009. 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/A for the year ended June 30, 2009 filed on March 17, 2010.
2 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“the Company” or ‘Aoxing Pharma”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain-management products. As of March 31, 2010, 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. In March 2010, the Company changed to its current name from “China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.”
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.
Effective on March 19, 2010, the Company filed with the Florida Secretary of State Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation. The amendments (i) changed the name of the corporation to “Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.”; (ii) decreased its authorized common stock from 200,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value to 100,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value; and (iii) effected a reverse split of its common stock in a ratio of one-for-two. The accompanying financial statement are presented showing a retro-active presentation of the above mentioned reverse stock-split as if it had happened as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
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 6 and 7). 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized other income of approximately $3,055,971 as compared to other income of $1,502,314 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, relating to recording the changes in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities. At March 31, 2010 and 2009 there were approximately $312,930 and $3,490,056 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 March 31, 2010:
Estimated dividends | None |
Expected volatility | 41.85% |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.16 – 0.41% |
Expected term (years) | 0.08 – 1.46 |
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 CodificationTM (“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.

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 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) $10.00, 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 March 31, 2010, are as follows:
Convertible debentures issued | | | 3,289,000 | |
Less amounts converted to common stock | | | (2,116,000 | ) |
| | | 1,173,000 | |
Less debt discount | | | (14,926 | ) |
Balance – March 31, 2010 | | | 1,158,074 | |
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.
7 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.
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 6 above. The following table is illustrated based on the share account post 1:2 reverse split which took place in March 2010:
| | Original Exercise Price | | | Revised Exercise Price | | | Original Number of Outstanding | | | Revised Number of Outstanding | | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | |
| | | | | | | | | | | March 31, | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | 2010 | | | | |
Series A | | $ | 5.0000 | | | $ | 3.1442 | | | | 529,000 | | | | 841,231 | | | | 1.46 | |

Proceeds of $3,871,552 were received in June 2009 (shown as deposit payable on the June 30, 2009 balance sheet) and $950,626 on July 2009. No gain or loss has been recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 since the company incurred an impairment charge of $2,345,420 during the year ended June 30, 2009 reducing the carrying value to the sales price.

We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Outline of Our Business
Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aoxing Pharma”) is a Florida incorporated specialty pharmaceutical company with its main operations in China, specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain-management products. Its common stock is currently trading at NYSE AMEX. 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.
In April 2010 Aoxing Pharma and Johnson Matthey Plc entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture through affiliated companies focused on research, development, manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API') for narcotics and neurological drugs for the China market. The joint venture represents a significant new opportunity for both companies to expand their business in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical market in China.
Under the terms of the agreement, Macfarlan Smith Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Plc, headquartered in the United Kingdom, will contribute technology expertise and capital to the joint venture. Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Group Company, Ltd (“Hebei Aoxing”), the operating subsidiary of Aoxing Pharma, will contribute capital, fixed assets and related API manufacturing licenses. The joint venture company will be called Hebei Aoxing API Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. Hebei Aoxing will have a 51% stake in the Company, while Macfarlan Smith (Hong Kong) Ltd, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Pacific Ltd), will hold 49%. Each company will have equal representation on a board of directors that will oversee a management team responsible for corporate strategies and operations.
The new joint venture will be located on the Hebei Aoxing campus in Xinle City, 200 kilometers south west of Beijing. The joint venture will seek GMP approval by the China SFDA for a dedicated manufacturing facility by the end of 2010 and plans to begin manufacturing in the first quarter of 2011.
In February 2010, Aoxing Pharma and QRx Pharma Ltd. announced a strategic alliance to collaborate in the development of two proprietary narcotic drugs in China and ex-China markets: MoxDuo®IV, an intravenous formulation, as well as MoxDuo®IR, an immediate release capsule presently in pivotal Phase 3 studies in the United States. Both products are based on QRxPharma’s patented morphine and oxycodone Dual-Opioid™ technology for the acute treatment of moderate to severe pain. Under the terms of the agreement, Aoxing Pharma will fund the development of MoxDuo®IV and MoxDuo®IR for the China market in exchange for exclusive marketing rights in China. QRxPharma will retain ownership of both products and may use the clinical work completed by Aoxing Pharma for product registration purposes outside of China. Extensive clinical studies have demonstrated QRxPharma’s Dual-Opioids™ provide as good or better pain relief than either morphine or oxycodone alone with significantly fewer side effects, giving doctors and patients more options in the treatment of moderate to severe pain from the hospital to the home.
The 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 was 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.
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 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 March 31, 2010 were $1,561,915, comparable to the revenues of $1,587,989 realized during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our product sales level remains low, due to the negative impact of our relocation and GMP re-certification of the LRT manufacturing facility started in the summer of 2009. This process has delayed our fulfillment of the purchase orders for those formulations manufactured in that facility. As of March 31, 2010, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010, revenues were $4,565,009 a 39% decrease from the revenues of $7,501,763 realized during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenue was caused by the delayed GMP re-certification discussed above.
Cost of sales was $374,410 for three months ended March 31, 2010, which was 65% less than the $1,070,086 in costs incurred during the three month ended March 31, 2009. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, our cost of sales was $1,365,069, which was 69% less than the $4,339,126 in costs incurred during the nine month ended March 31, 2009. The gross margin ratio increased from 33% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 76% in the three months ended March 31, 2010, and from 42% in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to 70% in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2010, due to the suspension of sales of our other products. Zhongtongan has a much higher gross margin compared to some of our other products. In addition, we have been engaged in ongoing efforts to improve production efficiency during out transition period of re-certification, which contributed to the improvement in margin.
Gross profit was $1,187,506 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, or 129% higher than the $517,903 gross profit realized during the three months ended March 31, 2009, reflecting higher profit margin and the larger contribution of Zhongtongan product during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the same reason, gross profit increased during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, to $3,199,941, a slight improvement over the gross profit of $3,162,637 realized during the nine months ended March 31, 2009..
Research and development expenses were $314,069 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing a 119% increase from $143,197 occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, our research and development expenses were $506,133, 5% higher than $483,434 spent for nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Our R&D expenses could fluctuate from period to period, reflecting the progress of our various development projects.
General and administrative expenses were $916,912 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, or 15% higher than $797,954 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of general and administrative expenses reflects our ramp-up of operations in anticipation of growth in sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, stock-based compensation for services was $195,104, similar to $202,227 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses was $2,619,899 6% less than $2,787,746 spent during nine months ended March 31, 2009, reflecting ongoing general cost control measures undertaken by the Company.
Selling expenses in the amount of $336,939 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were a 98% increase from the $169,809 spent on selling during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the recent expansion of our sales and marketing team and product promotion activities. We expect such expansion activities will continue to the end of calendar year 2010.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, selling expenses in the amount of $885,236 were a 32% decrease from the $1,293,344 spent on selling during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the consolidation of LRT’s selling expenses with ours during the six month period ended December 31, 2009. However we expect additional selling expenses as we continue expanding our sales and marketing team in the near future.
Our loss from operations decreased to $490,427 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $707,244 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, loss from operations decreased to $1,140,030 from $1,747,956 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The 31% and 35% decreases in the loss were primarily due to the dominant role played by Zhongtongan in our sales as well as ongoing improvement of operational efficiency.
Interest expense was $502,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was comparable to interest expense of $495,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Primarily due to the volatility decrease in the market price of our common stock during the recent quarter, the fair value of our outstanding warrant and derivative liabilities decreased by $574,438. The decrease was recorded as other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the same reason we reported other income of $1,502,314 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The fair value of these financial derivatives will fluctuate along with volatility of the market price for our common stock.
The Company realized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $427,048. However, because the Company owns only 95% of Hebei Aoxing, 5% of that company’s income was attributed to the minority interest. Therefore the net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 attributable to the shareholders of Aoxing Pharmaceutical was $193,585. In comparison, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders was $239,208 after deducting income attributable to the 5% minority interest in Hebei Aoxing.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was $3,181,148, as compared to a loss of $1,586,078 attributable to the Company’s shareholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 used $2,086,894 in cash, as compared to $2,261,078 used for operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The use of cash exceeded the net income during the recent period primarily due to a $528,856 increase in our accounts receivable, and the fact that we increased our inventories by $1,017,006 in anticipation of future sales.
Our investing activities used $1,135,496 in cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. We purchased additional property and equipment in the amount of $2,086,122, although that expenditure was partially offset by the final portion of the proceeds from the sales of LRT’s assets in the amount of $950,626.
Our cash flows from financing activities amounted to $5,181,255 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. In August, we completed a private placement to 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, which yielded gross proceeds of $5 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we also secured additional borrowings in the amount of $3,753,946, which enabled us to retire a bank loan in the amount of $4,271,529. . We continue working with additional banks in order to further improve our capital structure.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we significantly improved our working capital position. As of March 31, 2010, we had working capital of $4,368,335, as compared to a working capital deficit of $14,196,968 at June 30, 2009. The $18,565,303 improvement of our working capital condition was primarily attributable to:
| · | the $5 million private placement in August 2009; |
| · | conversion to common stock of $4,830,847 owed on account of a note that we issued to American Oriental Bioengineering, |
| · | cash realized through the divesture of the land and building of LRT, |
| · | forgiveness of debt and accrued interest amounted to $3,579,085 in connection with the restructuring of Bank of China loan, and |
| · | 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. In Apirl and May of this year, we entered into lending relationships with both China Citic Bank and the Bank of Communications of China, which yielded us available long-term credit of $12,800,596 at floating interest rates that were initially 5.841%. Those funds will enable us to make a strong re-entry into the market as we complete the process of GMP re-certification.
The capital injection and restructuring efforts over the last nine 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.
