2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONT’D) |
(a) | Basis of Preparation and Presentation (Cont’d) |
The statements of balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, the statement of income and comprehensive income for the six months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been prepared for the predecessor, XYT on a comparative basis. Information presented for comparative purposes in the consolidated financial statements is also to be retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal parent’s (the Company’s) legal capital.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America to illustrate predecessor and successor financial information.
This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Group, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”), the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying financial statements reflect necessary adjustments recorded in the books of account of the Group to present them in conformity with US GAAP.
In the opinion of the management of the Group, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the years have been made.
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of due from related parties, inventories and the estimation on useful lives of plant and machinery and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) | Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, other receivable, restricted cash and due from related parties. The Group places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. The Group conducts periodic reviews of the related party financial conditions and payment practices.
No single external customer exceeded 5% of the Group’s total revenue for the periods presented.

(d) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company relies on supplies from numerous vendors. There is no single vendor that exceeded 5% of the Group’s total purchase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The Group considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents.
Deposits in banks for securities of notes payable that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under current assets.
(f) | Trade and Other Receivables |
Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income.
Inventories are finished goods purchased from outsiders of the Company and stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of inventories, principally comprising purchase cost and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONT’D) |
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated to written off the cost, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal depreciation periods are as follows:
Office equipment | 3 years |
Other equipment | 5 years |
Intangible assets are stated at cost less amortization and accumulated impairment loss. The intangible assets of the Group represent software in used. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5-10 years using the straight-line method.
Revenue from sales of the Group’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery and the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
When the customers checked and accepted the products, the collection is reasonably assured. Since the nature of the products, the type of their customers and their distribution methods are substantially similar, the revenue recognition policy on variable products is the same.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONT’D) |
The Group uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Group’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustments.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONT’D) |
(m) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The Group maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. The functional currency of the Company is US dollar (“USD”, “$”), the functional currency of FCPG HK is Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”), and the functional currency of XYT is Renminbi (“RMB”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, FCPG HK and XYT which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into USD. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
HKD is pegged to USD and hence there is no significant translation adjustment impact on these financial statements.
RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation.
(n) | Financial instruments |
The carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due from (to) a related party, notes payable, other payable and accrued liabilities and income tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate the fair value based on the Company’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

(o) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that required new disclosures for 2 situations. i) A reporting entity should disclose separately the amount of significant transfer in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. ii) In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements. None of the new pronouncements has current application to the Company.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”. This Update provides amendments to i)An entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued. ii)The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the definition of SEC filer. iii)An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. iv)The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to remove the definition of public entity. v)The scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only.

(o) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Cont’d) |
In May 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-19 “Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates (SEC Update)”. The purpose of this Update is to codify the SEC Staff Announcement made at the March 18, 2010 meeting of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) by the SEC Observer to the EITF. The Staff Announcement provides the SEC staff’s view on certain foreign currency issues related to investments in Venezuela. None of the new pronouncements has current application to the Company.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-28 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments in this Update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities may early adopt the amendments using the effective date for public entities.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the above recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on these financial statements.

No segment information is disclosed as the Company is engaged in the sales of Chinese patent drug, antibiotics, bio-chemicals, chemical preparations and biological. The nature of the products, the type of their customers and their distribution methods are substantially similar. The Company operates in a single segment in the PRC.
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings/ (loss) per share is computed by dividing net comprehensive income/ (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net comprehensive income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods for which they have an anti-dilutive effect. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period are anti-dilutive and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the comprehensive income was $713,049. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 58,201,539. The adjusted weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 64,970,730.

In order to operate in a common law jurisdiction, we had initiated a reorganization that will move XYT’s administrative operations to Hong Kong while continuing its drug distribution business in China. This included relocating certain administrative functions such as financial accounting, information technology and investor relations to Hong Kong. As part of this reorganization, it was intended that FCPG HK would dispose of its interests in XYT through an arm’s length transaction. FCPG HK would then contract with XYT to act as the supplier of its logistics in filling orders in Yunnan province. XYT would be contractually bound to only provide services to FCPG HK. FCPG HK would retain ownership of the customers generated by XYT and the internet license. The internet software utilized to conduct the business would also continue to be used exclusively by FCPG HK.
At this time, we are reconsidering the previously identified benefits of such a reorganization and are in consultation with our accountants and legal counsel to ensure that any action we undertake is in our best interest and that of our stockholders.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Overview
First China Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (“FCPG” or the “Company”), formerly known as E-Dispatch Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 31, 2007. On September 15, 2010, we closed a voluntary share exchange transaction pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, dated August 23, 2010 (the “Exchange Transaction”), by and among FCPG, First China Pharmaceutical Group Limited, a Hong Kong company (“FCPG HK”), and Kun Ming Xin Yuan Tang Pharmacies Co. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of FCPG HK (“XYT”). Prior to the Exchange Transaction, we were a development stage company engaged in developing a cell phone-based taxi dispatch system. As a result of the Exchange Transaction, the FCPG HK stockholder acquired approximately 25% of our issued and outstanding common stock, FCPG HK and XYT became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we acquired the business and operations of FCPG HK and XYT.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, XYT, we are now engaged in drug logistics and distribution in Yunnan Province, China through drug stores, medical clinics and hospitals, as well as the wholesale distribution of medicine products, chemical agents, antibiotics, biochemistry drugs and biological preparations to hospitals and the XYT store located at the Company’s distribution facility in Kunming. XYT was founded in November 2002 and is a provincial pharmaceutical distributor that offers approximately 5,000 drugs, of which approximately 1,000 are over-the-counter drugs, approximately 1,000 are prescription drugs, approximately 2,000 are prepared Chinese medicines and approximately 1,000 are supplements. Currently, XYT has approximately 5,000 customers and supplies approximately 10% of such customers’ inventories with a sales network that covers the entire Yunnan Province of China. XYT believes it has a strategic advantage over certain of its competitors in Yunnan Province as it has obtained government approval to fill orders over the internet. XYT received the Internet Drug Information Service License issued by the Yunnan Food and Drug Administration in October 2009. This license enables XYT to bypass municipal and county pharmaceutical distributors, market XYT’s product line, provide pricing information and provide products directly to XYT customers. Bypassing these layers of distribution enables XYT to offer products to its customers at a significantly lower price than its major competitors while maintaining its margins. In October 2011, we were awarded a key national license which permits us to accept orders and transact payments over the internet. Management believes that the newly granted “Internet Drug Transaction Service License” (IDTSL) positions us as one of only a handful of pharmaceutical distributors with government approval for online payment capability in China. The new license compliments our existing Internet Drug Information Service License so that we can now market and advertise our products, along with accepting orders and transacting payments, over the internet.
Our continuing strategy is to build a nationwide pharmaceutical distribution network throughout China. Over the next 12 months, we plan to expand our customer base through the use of the following tactics: broadening of the current product line will attract more large customers that currently do not utilize XYT and benefit from internet ordering and the lower prices that XYT offers; providing computers to customers will also attract new customers as XYT’s management is unaware of any other pharmaceutical distribution company providing this benefit; supplementing XYT’s current sales force with the addition of at least two additional sales teams that will make calls directly to hospitals, medical clinics and pharmacies. We anticipate that each sales team will be composed of a sales manager and 10 sales people.
The IDTSL offers us broad national exposure to an audience that for the first time can now directly access, submit orders and transact payments for purchases from our product catalogue over the internet. As a result, management is now re-evaluating our acquisition-based expansion strategy, as this new license presents options which enables us to quickly expand throughout China without exposing us to the additional financial burdens and increased administrative complexities of a an acquisition-only strategy.
Corporate Reorganization & Intended Disposal of XYT
In order to operate in a common law jurisdiction, we had initiated a reorganization that will move XYT’s administrative operations to Hong Kong while continuing its drug distribution business in China. This included relocating certain administrative functions such as financial accounting, information technology and investor relations to Hong Kong. As part of this reorganization, it was intended that FCPG HK would dispose of its interests in XYT through an arm’s length transaction. FCPG HK would then contract with XYT to act as the supplier of its logistics in filling orders in Yunnan province. XYT would be contractually bound to only provide services to FCPG HK. FCPG HK would retain ownership of the customers generated by XYT and the internet license. The internet software utilized to conduct the business would also continue to be used exclusively by FCPG HK. At this time, we are reconsidering the previously identified benefits of such a reorganization and are in consultation with our accountants and legal counsel to ensure that any action we undertake is in our best interest and that of our stockholders.
Key factors affecting our results of operations include revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses and income and taxation.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Sales (Net)
Net sales increased from US$7,133,310 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$14,222,135 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$7,088,825 or 99%. Two major factors contributed to our increase in sales. First, we have entered into an Exclusive Agency Agreement with Yunnan Chuxiong Tianli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of China as of July 1, 2011. This agreement has given us an exclusive right to sell the following Chinese medicine - Honghuaxiaoyao Capsules, Zidanhuoxue Tablets, and Huangtengsu Tablets, in the Yunnan province of China. The total sales of these three products is USD$2,015,174 for the three months ended to September 30, 2011, compared to USD$0 for the three month ended to September 30, 2010. Second, the significant increase in sales was also attributable to our launch of certain new products. The sales of the four new products listing in Chart 2, below, amounted to USD$4,350,530. The following tables set forth information regarding the total sales of our principal products during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

e=a/c | | Total increase from last period to Total Sales in the period (Percentage) | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | 61.37 | % |
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased from US$5,760,079 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$13,206,877 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$7,446,798 or 129%. Cost of sales consists primarily of material cost which is directly attributable to the selling of pharmaceutical products. This increase in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to the increase in sales and increase in material product prices in the PRC for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Specifically, in 2011, inflationary problems have generally increased the cost of Chinese products. Also, Chinese medicine, one of our most popular products, has been suffering from high production costs due to a natural disaster that has caused a shortage of Chinese herbs. Thus, insufficient production of Chinese medicine drove demand higher than available supplies of Chinese medicine.
Although we anticipate that the cost of sales will increase due to inflationary price increases, we do not believe that such increases will be material for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. We anticipate that beyond 2011, our price for materials and other production costs will continue to increase due to inflation. If our costs of sales increase, this may have a negative effect on our net income because due to market conditions and competitive conditions, we may not be able to increase the price for our products in proportion to the increase in costs of goods sold.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased from US$1,373,231 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$1,015,258 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of US$357,973 or 26%. The decrease of profit margin is mainly due to two reasons. First, during the past 9 months, there has been a dramatic increase in the cost of Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine in China, due mainly to an increase in inflation and a reduction in the output of Chinese herbs. Second, as our long term strategy is to build a nationwide pharmaceutical distribution network throughout China, boost our market share and our customer base, we have offered products to customers at a more competitive price, resulting in a lower profit margin, than our major competitors.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses increased from US$5,557 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$20,115 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$14,558 or 262%. The increase is mainly due to the increase in salaries paid to employees.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses increased from US$31,493 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$338,403 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$306,910 or 975%. The increase is mainly attributable to travel, professional, consulting and accounting expenses of US$247,210. Also, the increase in administrative expenses was also due to the securities issuance cost paid to placement agents.
Other income & expenses
Other income & expenses increased from a negative US$21,434 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to a positive US$4,997 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase in income of US$26,431 or 123%. The increase is attributable to exchange gain due to foreign currency conversion resulting from changes in the applicable exchange rates.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased from US$12,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$18,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase in expense of US$6,346 or 52%. The increase is mainly attributable to the interest expenses from the convertible notes.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased from US$325,632 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$149,938 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in income tax expense of US$175,694 or 54%. The decrease is attributable to the decreased income tax rate from 25% in the PRC in the third quarter of 2010 to 16.5% in Hong Kong in the third quarter of 2011, due to the business operations having shifted from XYT to FCPG HK.
Net income
Net income decreased from a positive US$976,823 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$493,161 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in net income of US$483,662 or 50%. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in cost of sales and administrative expenses described above.
Effects of foreign currency translation conversion
Effects of foreign currency translation conversion decreased from US$46,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to a negative US$54,492 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$100,621 or 218%.
Comprehensive income/loss
Comprehensive income decreased from a positive US$1,022,952 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to US$438,669 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in income of US$584,283 or 57%. The decrease is attributable to the increases in sales and gross profits, offset in part by cost of sales, selling expenses and administrative expenses described above.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our results of operation.
| | Nine Months Ended September 30 | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |

Sales (Net)
Net sales increased from US$21,083,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$33,914,608 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$12,831,351 or 61%. Three major factors contribute to the increase. First, we entered into an Exclusive Agency Agreement with Yunnan Chuxiong Tianli Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of China on July 1st, 2011. This agreement has given us an exclusive right to sell the following Chinese medicines - Honghuaxiaoyao Capsules, Zidanhuoxue Tablets, and Huangtengsu Tablets. Second, the significant increase in sales was also attributable to launching of new products and several new hospitals were added as customers which contributed to increased sales volume. Third, in November 2010, we received government approval to market our product line over the internet and began to realize the benefits of internet marketing for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased from US$17,263,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$31,065,960 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$13,802,812 or 80%. This increase in cost of sales percentage from the prior year is relatively consistent with the increase in sales. The increase in cost of sales is mainly due to the increase in sales and increase in product purchase prices in China. Specifically, during the year, inflationary problems have been pushing up the cost of Chinese products. Also, Chinese medicine, one of our most popular products, has been suffering from high production costs due to a natural disaster that has caused a shortage of Chinese herbs. Thus, insufficient production of Chinese medicine drove demand higher than available supplies of Chinese medicine.
Although we anticipate that the cost of sales will increase due to inflationary price increases, we do not believe that such increases will be material for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. We anticipate that beyond 2011, our price for materials and other production costs will continue to increase due to inflation. If our costs of sales increase, this may have a negative effect on our net income because due to market conditions and competitive conditions, we may not be able to increase the price for our products in proportion to the increase in costs of goods sold.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased from US$3,820,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$2,848,648 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of US$971,461 or 25%. The decrease of profit margin is mainly due to two reasons. First, during the past 9 months, there has been a dramatic increase in the cost of Chinese herbs and Chinese medicine in China, due mainly to an increase in inflationary and a reduction in the output of Chinese herbs. Second, as our long term strategy is to build a nationwide pharmaceutical distribution network throughout China, boost our market share and our customer base, we have offered products to customers at a more competitive price, resulting in a lower profit margin, than our major competitors.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses increased from US$19,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$720,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$700,864 or 3,523%. The increase is mainly attributable to the service charges for the medical agents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These Medical Agents will eventually be replaced by employees. These service charges did not occur during the same period of 2010.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses increased from US$110,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$1,242,237 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$1,131,490 or 1,022%. The increase is mainly attributable to professional, consulting and accounting expenses of US$413,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Other income & expenses
Other income & expenses increased from a negative US$108,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a positive US$6,079 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase in income of US$115,048 or 106%. The increase was attributable to exchange gain due to foreign currency conversion resulting from changes in the applicable exchange rates.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased from US$33,984 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$96,440 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase in expense of US$62,456 or 184%. The increase is mainly attributable to the interest expenses from the convertible notes.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased from US$887,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$443,464 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in income tax expense of US$444,298 or 50%. The decrease is attributable to the decreased income tax rate from 25% in PRC for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 16.5% in Hong Kong for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to the business operations having shifted from XYT to FCPG HK.
Net income/(loss)
Net income decreased from a positive US$2,658,755 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a positive US$351,830 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in net income of US$2,306,925 or 87%. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in cost of sales and administrative expenses described above.
Effects of foreign currency translation conversion
Effects of foreign currency translation conversion increased from US$71,837 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$361,219 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of US$289,382 or 403%.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income decreased from a positive US$2,730,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to US$713,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease in comprehensive income of US$2,017,543 or 74%. The decrease is attributable to the above-mentioned increases in sales and gross profits, offset in part by cost of sales, selling expenses, and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and equivalents on hand of US$711,903, and working capital deficit of US$2,066,600. We still believe that our cash on hand and working capital will be sufficient to meet our operational cash requirements through December 31, 2011. If the Company does not meet its revenue objectives over that period, the Company may need to sell additional equity securities, which could result in dilution to current stockholders, or seek additional loans. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
XYT had previously recorded as a receivable an amount due from a related party to the Company of $20,624,448 as of June 30, 2011 and $17,011,021 as of December 31, 2010. To comply with U.S. GAAP, the Company has reclassified such amounts as a deemed distribution of a dividend to Mr. Wang, a related party, and therefore a corresponding reduction of retained earnings. This reclassification is not expected to have a significant impact on our liquidity going forward because it had been previously contemplated that any amounts payable to the Company would have been offset by bonus compensation payable to Mr. Wang. Therefore, this receivable and the previously anticipated repayments were not a significant consideration by the Company in forecasting future capital and liquidity requirements.
Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support our operations, the purchase of inventory and future strategic acquisitions. We presently finance our operations through revenue from the sale of our products and services, the private placement of equity and debt securities and short-term bank borrowings. As of September 30, 2011, we had an outstanding bank loan from Kunming Wuhua Branch of Fudian Bank in the amount of US$786,794, with a monthly interest rate of 5.56%, and a maturity date of December 8, 2011. We believe that our existing capital resources are sufficient to meet our current obligations and operating requirements, but will not be sufficient to meet our more aggressive growth plans and that we will need to raise additional capital in the next 6 months. In order to meet our previously planned two to four strategic acquisitions, we estimated requiring US$6 million in capital. However, with our approval of the IDTSL, we are now re-evaluating the previously planned strategic acquisitions, as this new license presents options which enables us to quickly expand throughout China without exposing us to the additional financial burdens and increased administrative complexities of acquisitions.
In addition to any financing required for potential acquisitions, we will also require additional capital to continue expanding our product line. We completed a financing of $3.6 million (net of fees) and utilized some of these proceeds to expand our product line. As the funding fell short of the $5 to $6 million objective which would have provided sufficient capital for product line expansion and one acquisition, our short term objective is now to broaden our product line from our current 5,000 products to 20,000 to 25,000 over a 6 to 8 month period. This will allow us to not only sell more products to its existing customers, but also attract more customers that currently do not purchase our products. The bulk of these funds will be utilized to purchase inventory, which will be on a cash basis until a track record is established and net 30 day terms can be negotiated. The broader product line will include significantly more Western drugs as well as traditional Chinese drugs and herbs. In order to raise such additional capital, we would consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowing as potential means of financing, however, there are no assurances that we will be successful or that we will obtain terms that are favorable to us.
Our liquidity could be further impacted by external factors such as any significant decrease in the market price of pharmaceutical products as a result of downward periodic price adjustments enforced by the PRC government seeking to make pharmaceutical products more affordable to the general public, and reimbursement policies of the PRC Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Although we have yet to be materially impacted by such factors, each or a combination of such factors may result in lower sales, increased expenses and costs and result in lower profitability and cash flow, thus reducing our liquidity. Such current or future actions by the PRC government and PRC Ministry of Labor and Social Security may materially impact or result in lower sales, increased expenses and costs and result in lower profitability and cash flow, thus reducing our liquidity. We may also in the future apply for and receive government subsidies. Although we have not applied for any such subsidies to date, any such subsidies which we may receive in the future may increase our liquidity. Further, as noted above, our gross profit margin has declined as during the period ended September 30, 2011, there has been a dramatic increase in the cost of Chinese herbs and Chinese medicines in China, due mainly to an increase in inflation and a reduction in output of Chinese herbs in China. Also, our long term strategy is to build a nationwide pharmaceutical distribution network throughout China. In order to boost our market share and our customer base, we have offered products to customers at a more competitive price, resulting in a lower profit margin, than our major competitors. These increased costs and lower profit margins may continue to result in lower profitability and decreased cash flow, thus reducing our liquidity.
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was US$3,325,253, compared to US$404,721 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the increase of prepayment of US$6,133,339 due to business expansion in order to promote sales and increase our market share. Specifically, net cash used in operating activities was used on our website system development in connection with our ability to market our products over the internet, new office decoration and remodeling and the purchase of pharmaceutical materials.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was US$127,864 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to US$1,242 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and long term tax planning.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was US$3,019,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and was comprised of a convertible promissory note and a private offering of units all as part of our capital raising efforts to fund our market expansion offset in part by repayment of borrowings from Kunming Wuhua Branch of Fudian Bank and increase in restricted cash. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was US$405,761.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and this requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates include:
Valuation of accounts receivable
An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognized in the income statement.
Inventories
Net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. For the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded no allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories.
Deferred income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income and comprehensive income in the periods that includes the enactment date.
Useful lives of plant and machinery
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated to write off the cost, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal depreciation periods are as follows:
Other equipment | 5 years |
Office equipment | 3 years |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that required new disclosures for 2 situations: (i) a reporting entity should disclose separately the amount of significant transfer in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; (ii) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements. None of the new pronouncements has current application to the Company.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” This Update provides amendments to: (i) an entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets), is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued; (ii) the glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the definition of SEC filer; (iii) an entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated; (iv) the glossary of Topic 855 is amended to remove the definition of public entity; and (v) the scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only.
In May 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-19 “Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates (SEC Update).” The purpose of this Update is to codify the SEC Staff Announcement made at the March 18, 2010 meeting of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) by the SEC Observer to the EITF. The Staff Announcement provides the SEC Staff’s view on certain foreign currency issues related to investments in Venezuela. None of the new pronouncements has current application to the Company.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Update No. 2010-28 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this Update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities may early adopt the amendments using the effective date for public entities.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to us, but may be applicable to our future financial reporting.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer along with our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2011 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer along with our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2011 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
| i) | We lack personnel with the experience to properly analyze and record complex transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have improved our reporting capacity with the appointment of a board member who is an expert in U.S. GAAP and by contracting an accounting firm familiar with U.S. GAAP to assist in the preparation of our financial statements. |
| ii) | We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A review and assessment of our internal controls is currently underway by an independent consulting firm. |
| iii) | We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. |
| iv) | We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness. |
We continue to review our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources and personnel to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses. Our present management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
