Mr. Liu Yan-Qing, Chief Executive Officer and President of China Sky One Medical, Inc. stated, "We are so pleased with our third quarter and nine month financial results, which reflected record-high revenue and net income growth and exceeded our expectations. We continue to operate in a highly favorable market that is outpacing GDP growth, while our extensive distribution network and 1,400 sales representatives strengthen our presence throughout China's key cities like Shanghai and Beijing."
Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2007
Revenue for the third quarter increased 148% to $16.8 million from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2006, which is mainly due to continued sales growth of the Company's own product line and a contract service line of manufacturer's products sold through the Company's distribution channel. During the third quarter, the Company continued to experience robust export sales of Slim Patch, which contributed $4.5 million of revenue, up significantly from approximately $435,000 in the third quarter of 2006. Sales of other manufactured brands through the Company's distribution network contributed $4.3 million of revenue during the third quarter, up from $1.8 million in the same period of 2006.
Liu continued, "Demand for our diverse product portfolio of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western medicines and diagnostic kits as well as for our leading TDR and Kangxi brands, drove our revenue results in the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, we were pleased with the performance from our Slim Patch in Malaysia, where it is sold under the Takasima brand and contributed $2.5 million to our export sales in the quarter."
Gross profit increased 187% to $13.1 million from $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Gross margin in the third quarter 2007 increased to 78.1% compared to 67.4% in the prior year's period, which exceeded management's expectations. Strong gross margin performance reflects China Sky One Medical's bargaining position with raw material suppliers, as the Company increased its purchasing power with additional scale.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2007 was $6.6 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period of 2006. Operating margin was 39.3%. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 95% to $5.1 million from $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, and include advertising expenses of $1.5 million, as the Company invests in its proprietary brands. Increased expenses also reflect new hires in the sales force. Research and development expenses increased to $1.4 million from only $56,086 in the same period last year, reflecting the Company's increasing efforts on product development.
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $5.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2006.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, revenue increased 130% to $36.6 million from $15.9 million in the first nine months of 2006. During this same time period, gross profit improved 147% to $28.5 million from $11.5 million. Gross margin of 77.9% compared to 72.4% in the first nine months of 2006.

We believe these exciting new products position us well for long-term growth."
"As we move through the last part of the year, we expect to realize fourth quarter revenue of at least $13.0 million, which is up more than three-fold from $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of last year despite the seasonality of the slow winter months on spray product sales.
