CHENGDU, China, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., (NYSE Alternext: TPI), a manufacturer and supplier of modernized traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") based in Chengdu, China, today announced fiscal results for its second quarter ended December 31, 2008.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased 30.4% to approximately $10.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in revenues resulted from Tianyin's enhanced marketing and sales efforts to expand sales channels and increase overall market penetration, supported by an expanded product portfolio and increased production capabilities. Ginkgo Mihuan, one of Tianyin's flagship products, contributed approximately 25.7% to total revenues for the quarter, and increased $0.5 million, or 23.3% to $2.6 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenues generated by another core product, Arpu Shuangxin Oral Liquid, increased 130% to approximately $2.8 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $4.9 million or 48.9% of revenue as compared to US$4.6 million or 58.9% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007, yielding a gross profit of $5.2 million and gross margins of 51%, compared to $3.2 million in gross profit and a gross margin of 41.1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Thus, gross profits grew by 61.8% on a year-over-year basis. The increase in gross margins was primarily attributable to the focus on higher margin products such as Ginkgo Mihuan Oral Liquid and Arpu Shuangxin Oral Liquid, and stringent cost controls implemented during the manufacturing process.

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $2.7 million, up 122.1% compared to the same period in 2007. Selling, general and administration expenses for the period increased to approximately $2.6 million from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of the planned increased investment in Tianyin's overall marketing efforts, including increased costs in advertising and, promotion and payrolls of an expanded sales force. Research and development expenses were $84,220 in the three months ended December 31, 2008, versus $34,106 in 2007.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2009 totaled approximately $2.5 million, a 25.4% increase from the $2 million reported for the second quarter of 2008. Operating margins were 24.5% and 25.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. The slight decrease in the operating margin was due to increased spending on R&D and marketing to expand Tianyin's market presence and penetration.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, net income was approximately $2.1 million, a 24.5% increase, compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in net income was due to the increase of revenues along with improved gross margins and efficiencies partially offset by increases in sales and marketing costs. Diluted earnings per share were $0.13 compared to $0.13 for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 respectively, based up on 15.7 million and 12.8 million shares. The company had an effective tax rate of 16.6% and 15%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

"We are very pleased to report another quarter of strong revenue and net income growth. The success of our overall marketing strategy focusing on high margin products enabled us to achieve this growth for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and positions us well for the remainder of the year. While the global economy is experiencing a sharp downturn, our industry is not affected and has little correlation with the overall economic environment," commented Dr. Guoqing Jiang, Tianyin's Chief Executive Officer. "The Chinese government recently announced a new health care reform plan and will invest $123 billion between 2009 and 2011 with a principal goal to cover 90% of urban and rural residents with basic medical insurance. In addition, the Pharmaceutical Industry in China will be a beneficiary of expanded social reform with the recently announced $586 billion stimulus plan. With 35% of all Pharmaceutical sales emanating from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) and the central government's open commitment to significantly upgrading China's healthcare system, we believe Tianyin is ideally positioned to benefit from an industry which is experiencing long-term secular growth characteristics. Our enhanced sales and marketing efforts, extensive product portfolio and strong pipeline, supported by an experienced and motivated management team, are the attributes which not only differentiate us from other competitors but will enable us to capitalize on this opportunity."

Gross margins were 51% for the first six months of 2009 compared to 40.6% for the same period in 2008.

Operating margins were 23.6% for the first six months of 2009 compared to 25.4% for the first six months of 2008. Net income was $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 21.3% from the same period in 2007.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company had a current ratio of 6.9 to 1 and $12.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2008. On December 31, 2008, the Company had stockholders' equity of $37 million, with total assets of $24 million versus total liabilities of $3.5 million. For the first six months of 2009, the Company generated $3.9 million in cash from operations versus $2.8 million for the same period in 2008.

Business Development

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Tianyin implemented a new sales and marketing strategy to categorize both distributors and hospital clients into three classes. This initiative was established to improve long-term relationships with strategic distribution partners, while optimizing and further diversifying its customer base. The Company has already experienced measurable improvement in optimization of salespersons' time and efforts with different classes of clients.

During the first six months of fiscal 2009, Tianyin received three approvals from the SFDA to produce Laonian Kechuan Tablet (SFDA approval number H2008S02059), Fuke Zhidai Tablet (SFDA approval number Z20083375) and Tongbianling Capsule (SFDA approval number Z20083424). Laonian Kechuan Tablet is a TCM drug that effectively treats asthma in people aged 60 or above. Fuke Zhidai Tablet is a TCM drug used to treat abnormal leucorrhea, which is caused by chronic cervicitis, endometritis and endocolpitis. Tongbianling Capsule is a generic TCM and highly effective in treating common diseases including one-time abdominal distention constipation, bedridden constipation, and elderly chronic constipation, with initial shipments expected to begin in February 2009.

Tianyin has completed installing the steel framework and roofing of the new production facility with production expected to commence in the spring of 2009. The Company has recently completed the civil construction and began interior design efforts. The new plant will expand overall production capacity by 3 times and will be utilized to meet growing demand for current products, while also accommodating new product launches from the Company's development pipeline.

On October 27, 2008, Tianyin's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $3.0 million of its common stock from time to time in the open-market or through privately negotiated transactions. The buyback may be conducted through June 30, 2009. The Company is subject to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding the buyback including the timing and amount of the purchase. The Company had $12.7 million in net cash and equivalents on December 31, 2008 and generated $3.9 million in cash from operations for the first six months of 2009. Management believes the Company is adequately funded to meet all of the working capital and capital expenditure plans for 2009.

"We received three approvals from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA), which will further diversify our portfolio and provide strong support to our future growth. These recent approvals provide confirmation of our ability to move additional drugs that are currently in our pipeline through the approval process toward commercialization. We will remain focused on introducing higher margin products that address larger indications and will contribute to our long-term growth and profitability. Our management team is committed to creating value for our shareholders and will continue to implement and execute a growth plan which will enable us to accomplish this goal," concluded Dr. Jiang.
