NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
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, 2010 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. 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, 2010 filed on October 4, 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. In March 2010, the Company changed to its current name from “China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.”
As of September 30, 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”). As of September 30, 2010 the Company owned 95% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hebei.
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 co mpensation 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. 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 three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized other income of approximately $222,717 as compared to other loss of $2,142,159 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, relating to recording the changes in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities. At September 30, 2010 and 2009 there were approximately $1,690,817 and $5,511,061 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 September 30, 2010:
Estimated dividends | None |
Expected volatility | 66.83% |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.19% |
Expected term (years) | 0.96 |
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.
3 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowing consists of (a) a non-interest bearing note payable to Shi Jia Zhuang Finance Bureau, and agency of a local government, due three months after the Company is listed on NASDAQ, and (b) a short term note payable to Bo Hai International Trust, bearing interest at 30% per annum and due on March 2, 2011.

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 st rategies and operations.
The new joint venture is 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 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 treatmen t 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 t reatment of moderate to severe pain from the hospital to the home.
Pharmaceutical Market in China: The pharmaceutical industry in China was approximately $147 billion in 2009 and China is expected to become the world’s fifth largest pharmaceutical market by 2010, which includes western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. This growth is being driven by several factors including improving standards of living and an increase in disposable income fueled by the growing economy, the aging population, the increasing participation in the State Basic Medical Insurance System and the increase in government spending on public health care. In January 2009, the Chinese government approved a healthcare reform plan and has budgeted RMB 850 billion, or $124 billion, for a three year program to make medical services and products more afford able and accessible to the whole population.
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.
Regulatory and Quality Control: 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 p roducts, 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 September 30, 2010 were $1,740,673, representing a 20% increase over the revenues of $1,446,663 realized during the three months ended September 30, 2009, reflecting the positive impact of our recent expansion of sales team. Revenues continue to be negatively affected by our need to obtain GMP re-certification for each of our products. We are currently in the final stage of passing the GMP re-certification of pill formulation production. So we expect that additional sales from pill based formulation will again contribute to our revenue in 2011.
Cost of sales was $827,295 for three months ended September 30, 2010, which was 84% higher than the $450,143 in costs incurred during the three month ended September 30, 2009. The gross margin ratio decreased from 69% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 52% in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in gross margin was higher raw material cost along with increased labor and utility costs. For these reasons, our gross profit of $913,379 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 8% lower than the $996,520 gross profit realized during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Research and development expenses were $85,448 during the three months ended September 30, 2010, representing a 25% decrease from $113,303 incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Our R&D expenses will fluctuate from period to period, reflecting the progress of our various development projects.
General and administrative expenses were $909,057 in the three months ended September 30, 2010, or 4% higher than the $877,484 expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, stock-based compensation for services was $142,048, which was 30% less than the $202,227 incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Selling expenses in the amount of $511,821 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were a 96% increase from the $260,894 spent on selling during the three months ended September 30, 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, with the result that selling expenses for fiscal year 2011 will be significantly higher than in fiscal 2010.
Our loss from operations increased to $744,991 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $364,378 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The 104% increase in the loss was primarily due to the reduced gross margin on our sales and to the expenses resulting from the ongoing expansion of our sales and marketing team and product promotion.
Interest expense was $374,781 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a 37% decrease from the interest expense of $592,084 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The reduction of interest expense was due to our recent efforts to replace high yield bonds with lower yield financing.
Primarily due to the 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 $222,717. The decrease was recorded as other income for the three months ended September 30, 2010. On the other hand, we reported other loss of $2,142,159 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, caused by the increase in the fair value of outstanding warrant and derivative liabilities in that period. The fair value of these financial derivatives will fluctuate along with volatility of the market price for our common stock.
The operating losses that our Chinese subsidiary is currently incurring provide it a tax benefit, as we expect it will be able to offset the losses against future income. Our U.S. corporate parent also incurs losses, but we do not expect to realize any tax benefit from those losses. In addition, we are subject to different income tax rates in the US and China, as well as different rules for the recognition of income for tax purposes. For these reasons, the income tax credits that we record do not directly correspond to the pre-tax income that we record. As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an income tax credit of $202,596 on a pre-tax loss of $897,055, while for the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an income tax credit o f $809,253 on a pre-tax loss of $3,120,037.
The Company realized a net loss of $694,459 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. 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 three months ended September 30, 2010 was $653,939 attributable to the shareholders of Aoxing Pharmaceutical. In comparison, during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders was $2,294,609 after deducting income attributable to the 5% minority interest in Hebei Aoxing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations during the three months ended September 30, 2010 used $977,641 in cash, as compared to $242,976 used for operations during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The primary reason for the increased use of cash in the recent quarter was the $509,708 increase in accounts receivable during the quarter, due to sales near the end of the quarter.
Our investing activities used $378,348 in cash during the three months ended September 30, 2010. We purchased additional property and equipment in the amount of $732,945, although that expenditure was partially offset by $345,597, representing partial repayment of loans we made to unrelated parties.
Our cash flows from financing activities amounted to $746,480 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. On September 2, 2010, we completed a 6-month loan financing in the total amount of $746,480 (RMB 5 million) to improve our working capital situation. The short-term loan, which matures on March 2, 2011, is expected to be extended after that date. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, specifically in August 2009, 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. We continue seeking additional funding to support our business operation and to further improve our capital structure. A t the present time we have no commitment from any source for additional funds.
As a result of the several debt refinancing during fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011, our debt service obligations at September 30, 2010 were:
Contractual Obligations | | Total | | | Less than 1 Year | | | 1-3 Years | | 4-5 Years | | After 5 Years |
Loans Payable – | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Banks | | $ | 8,211,284 | | | $ | 8,211,284 | | | $ | - | | | | |
Affiliates | | | 9,881,205 | | | | 1,189,075 | | | | 8,692,130 | | | | |

TOTAL | | $ | 18,092,489 | | | $ | 9,400,359 | | | $ | 8,692,130 | | | | |
We continue to explore various alternatives in order to secure sources of financing and improve our financial position. Among the possibilities being considered are new credit facilities, a new equity raise, 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.
