Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Total revenues increased by 13.3% to $19.49 million with growth in sales across all three product categories. Sales of acer truncatum seed oil were particularly strong, increasing by 23.6% to $5.08 million and accounted for 26.1% of total revenues.
After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net income attributable to the Company was $4.34 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2.78 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
"For the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2018, revenues grew by 13.3% (or 18.2% as measured in RMB) to $19.49 million with growth across all three product categories while net income increased by 56.4% to $4.48 million, highlighting continuing momentum in our businesses," commented Mr. Tinghe Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Mr. Yan continued, "More exciting was that we have started harvesting seed pods from our self-grown acer truncatum bunge tree bases since November 2018, leading to solid increase in both revenues and margin for our acer truncatum seed oil business for the fiscal third quarter. With the rest of the acer truncatum bunge trees at our 5,880 mu planting bases set to become commercially productive one after another in the next two to three years, we are well positioned to further grow and integrate our acer truncatum seed oil business. Looking ahead, we firmly believe that our self-grown planting bases, modern production facilities, strong R&D capabilities, combined with our powerful direct sales model, give us significant competitive advantages in pricing, production and distribution in the long run."
Comments & Business Outlook
JINING, China, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire / -- Spring Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CYIG) ("Spring Pharmaceutical" or the "Company") today announced that it has started reaping seed pods from over 700,000 trees, or approximately 10% of the total of approximately 7,000,000 trees, at its 5,880 mu truncatum bunge planting bases (the "Planting Bases"). This marks the first harvest of seed pods from acer truncatum trees grown by the Company since the Company started the development of its own Planting Bases in June 2013. The Company expects to reap over 300 tons of seed pods at the Planting Bases through December 31, 2018 that can be used for production of approximately 30 tons of acer truncatum seed oil. Before harvesting its own seed pods, the Company has been dependent on purchases of all its seed pods from third party vendors since July 2015.
"Since June 2013, we have invested over $49 million in the Planting Bases and planted over 7,000,000 acer truncatum bunge trees. As the remaining crops of seed pods will be gradually ready for production as the trees mature during the next three or four years, depending upon the timing of their harvest, we believe this further strengthens our market position as a fully integrated, industrial-scale acer truncatum seed oil producer. With self-grown planting bases, modern oil production facilities, and direct sale channels, we believe that our acer truncatum seed oil business has competitive advantages in pricing, production and distribution," said Tinghe Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spring Pharmaceutical.

Net income attributable to the Company was $4.08 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $2.24 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
"We are pleased to report strong results that exceeded our expectations for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2018. With revenues and net income attributable to the Company increasing by 34.7% and 82.4%, respectively, during our second quarter, thanks to growth across all three product categories as well as significant improvement in margins, we believe that our fiscal second quarter results highlight continuing strength in our business," said Mr. Tinghe Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
"We are also making progress with our strategic plan and initiatives for fiscal year 2019 that include the change of our company's name in August to "Spring Pharmaceutical Group, Inc." ; and the successful convening in October of the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders in our history as a public company that attracted over 85 attendees..

Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we realized $11,485,752 in revenue, representing an increase of 40.4% or $3,305,780 as compared to $8,179,972 for the same period in 2014. Revenue increased from increased sales of both the Huoliyuan capsules and the health care products. We increased advertising and promotion of our Huoliyuan capsules after obtaining the certification pursuant to the criteria set forth by the Good Manufacturing Practices (revised 2010) issued by China Food and Drug Administration (hereafter referred to as new GMP) in the third quarter of 2014. Starting with this quarter, we also increased the promotion and sales of the health care products through our distributors’ greater marketing effort on recruiting new customers. Part of our revenues was generated by us as the distributor for the products manufactured by Shandong YCT. We entered into a Purchase & Sale Contract with Shandong YCT on December 26, 2006, which sets forth the wholesale price that we pay to Shandong YCT for each of the products it produces. On February 9, 2010 and February 26, 2015, we renewed the Purchase and Sale Contract with Shandong YCT for a term of five years ending on February 28, 2015 and for a term of two years ending on February 28, 2017, respectively. Pursuant to the contract renewed on February 26, 2015, we can purchase 10 products from Shandong YCT on fixed prices, with the products selected by us according to their sales volume and profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, 31.8% of our total revenue was generated as the distributor of Shandong YCT, as compared to 32.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The sale of Huoliyuan Capsule accounted for 68.2% of our revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 67.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Since July 2010, the Company has become not only a distributor of Shandong YCT but also a manufacturer and distributor of our own product, Huoliyuan Capsule. Since late 2011, we have made great effort marketing and developing new customers for Huoliyuan Capsule. As a result, we obtained new customers and expanded our sales of Huoliyuan Capsules.
Net Income
As a result of above, during the three months ended June 30, 2015, we realized net income of $3,004,445, representing a 57.4% or $1,095,196 increase, compared to $1,909,249 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was mainly due to the higher revenue from sales of both Huoliyuan Capsule and health care products in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Sales Revenue (Net)
During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we had net sales of $9,511,534, as compared with net sales of $8,276,400 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $1,235,134, or 14.9%, mainly from increased revenue from Huoliyuan Capsules.
Since September 2009, we started to engage in the production and distribution of our own non-prescription drug, Huoliyuan Capsule, which is patented in China, and developed distribution channels for the drug. Our sales have increased since September 2009 as a result of the establishment of our manufacturing and distribution channels of Huoliyuan Capsule. Since July 2010, the Company changed from being solely a distributor of Shandong YCT to both a manufacturer and distributor of our own products, the Huoliyuan Capsules. As a result, we obtained new customers and expanded our sales of Huoliyuan Capsules. The Huoliyuan Capsule product accounted for 72.5% of our revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to 68.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. In this quarter, we added new packaging (1*1) in addition to the existing packaging (1*2), which boosted revenue for Huoliyuan Capsule sales.
We entered into a purchase and sale contract with Shandong Yong Chun Tang (“Shandong YCT”) on December 26, 2006 (the “Purchase and Sale Contract”), which sets forth the wholesale price that we pay to Shandong YCT for distributing their products. On February 9, 2010, we renewed the Purchase and Sale Contract with Shandong YCT for a term of five years ending on March 31, 2015. Pursuant to the renewed contract, we can purchase 10 types of health care supplement products from Shandong YCT on a fixed price, which were selected according to their sales volume and profit margin. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, 27.5% of our revenue was from the sale of the health care supplement products, compared to 31.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Net Income
As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $1,666,297 during the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared with a net income of $2,196,737 during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Investor Alert
The Form 10K-A is being amended to restate our previously issued financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011. On February 28, 2011, we acquired a United States patent which was accounted for as an acquisition of an asset. However, we recognized the contingent considerations which would be accounted for under the acquisition of a business. Therefore,
we overstated the fair value of the patent . We have restated our financial statements to correct this error. The changes in the financial statements at March 31, 2011 include, but are not limted to, a
decrease in the amount recorded for net intangible assets by
$23,195,331 a
decrease in the amount reccoded as a contingent liability by
$23,391,902 and an
increase of
$147,428 in retained earnings. We have also provided additional explanation as to (i) the intended purposes of the patent, (ii) the lack of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011 and (iii) additional disclosure regarding the tax treatment of the acquisition of the patent.

GeoTeam ® Note : Fourth quarter 2010 vs. 2009: $0.10 vs $ 0.04
During the year ended March 31, 2010, we realized $32,012,404 in revenue, representing an increase of 24% or $6,194,957 as compared to $25,817,447 for the same period of 2009. During the past year of operations, a total of 35 products each contributed to revenue, including health care supplements, cosmetics and toiletries and daily necessities, and no single product has accounted for more than 20% of our revenue, reflecting that the company was and is not heavily reliant on the sales of any single production line. In March 2010, the Company purchased a patent from Shandong YCT for $6.74 million, which enables the Company to manufacture and distribute Huoliyuan Capsule that was newly introduced by the Company. Huoliyuan Capsule is a self-manufactured product by the Company which bears a higher gross profit margin as compared to products manufactured by Shandong Yong Chun Tang. We expect that in 2011, the revenue generated from Huoliyuan, which is in house produced, willaccount for 40% of our total annual sales. The patent the Company bought from Shandong YCT in March 2010 represents an exclusive right (subject to rights retained by Shandong YCT) in China to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in gingko product manufacturing process, with a remaining legal life of 16.5 years. The Company is amortizing the cost on a straight line basis over 16.5 years. During fiscal year 2009, which ended on March 31, 2009, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical realized $25,817,447 in revenue. For the year of 2010, which ended on March 31, 2010, the Company realized $32,012,404 in revenue, including 12% of the total revenue generated by the distribution of our new product Huoliyuan Capsule. The overall increase in revenue year over year was approximately 24%. 88% of our total revenue was contributed by the resale of products purchased by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical from Shandong Yong Chun Tang. The purchases were made pursuant to a Purchase & Sale Contract dated December 26, 2006, which sets forth the wholesale price that Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical pays to Shandong Yong Chun Tang for each of the 34 products governed by the Contract.
Since Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was not an exclusive distributor for Shandong Yong Chun Tang during this period, its resale prices are determined in large part by competition. For that reason, the gross margin realized by Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical was nearly identical in each quarter of this fiscal year, averaging 56%, despite the significant growth in sales from year to year.
Liquidity Requirements
The profits from our health and beauty aid distribution business are adequate to fund our ongoing operations . In order to fully implement its business plan, however, Shandong Spring Pharmaceutical will require a large capital infusion to finance the creation of state-of-the-art facilities for the extraction of compounds from gingko and the formulation of products based on those compounds. The patent the Company bought from Shandong YCT in March 2010 represents an exclusive right in China to use an aglycone type and purification method of biotransformation in gingko product manufacturing process, with a remaining legal life of 16.5 years. The Company is amortizing the cost on a straight line basis over 16.5 years.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents balances, as well as cash forecast by management to be generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital requirements for our current operations. Our operations have produced positive cash flow, with $14,097,423 provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2010. We did not have accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2010. We expect our marketing activities to continue to operate cash-positively. We commenced our own manufacturing operations during this year, which has put some pressure on our cash flow. In the ongoing basis, we may be required to seek additional capital and reduce certain spending as needed.
In order to fully implement our business plan, however, we will require capital contributions far in excess of our current asset value. Our budget for bringing our manufacturing facility to an operating level that assures profitability is $10 million . To fully implement our business plan - including development of a facility to utilize our proprietary method of extracting flavones from ginkgo by using enzyme technology - we will need $40 million . Our expectation, therefore, is that we will seek to access the capital markets in both the U.S. and China to obtain the funds we require.
CFO Trail
GeoSpecial Notes
Notwithstanding the efficiencies that we expect to realize from continued growth, we expect that several factors will cause our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the coming months:
If we are successful in obtaining the funds to complete our manufacturing facility, we will initiate manufacturing activities. This will cause us to incur facility costs and the expense of administrative personnel.
Although we have $4.32 million in property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet, we are not recording any significant amount of depreciation, since we have not put our facility into service yet. When we commence manufacturing, we will begin to depreciate our property – which will have a substantially larger book value at that time – and incur the expense as a general expense to the extent it is not allocable to cost of goods sold.

Comments & Business Outlook
Net income for the fourth quarter was $1.02 million, or diluted income per share of $0.03, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or diluted income per share of $0.05 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.
"During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we felt the effects of the global economic slowdown," stated Mr. Yan Tinghe, the Company's Chairman. "In addition, with an earlier than normal start to the Chinese New Year this year, there was an extended period of minimized business activity for our dealers."
Source: Marketwire (June 30, 2009)
Comments & Business Outlook
'We believe that the mid- to long-term market opportunity for our products is growing at noticeable speed. Moreover, we have strengthened our balance sheet by reducing other receivable and current liabilities,' Mr. Yan continued. 'While the impact of the global economic slowdown will persist for the foreseeable future, we are seeing stronger operating results quarter-to- quarter, and we believe that, on a year-to-year basis, we will continue our strong growth into fiscal year 2010.'
Source: PR Newswire (February 18, 2009 )
GeoTeam Comment:
The outlook appears positive, but the inference to mid- to long-term opportunity and referring to year over year growth could raise some questions regarding short-term growth.
Research
CYIG reported preliminary results for its fiscal 2009 third quarter ended December:
Sales Increased 60.4% Compared to FY Q3 2008 to $8.63 million.
Net earnings increased 125% to approximately $2.19 million c ompared to FY Q3 2008 net income of $0.97 million .
GeoTeam ® Comment : The company did not provide an EPS figure for the third quarter. Extrapolating EPS from the outstanding shares of 29.3 million yields about $.07 . However , using 29.3 million shares may be a little presumptuous, on a going forward basis, as a result of some commentary from the second quarter SEC filling :
"In order to fully implement our business plan, however, we will require capital contributions far in excess of our current asset value . Our budget for bringing our manufacturing facility to an operating level that assures profitability is $10 million . To fully implement our business plan - including development of a facility to utilize our proprietary method of extracting flavones from ginkgo by using enzyme technology - we will need $40 million. Our expectation, therefore, is that we will seek to access the capital markets in both the U.S. and China to obtain the funds we require . At the present time, however, we do not have commitments of funds from any source."
This may cause some investors to approach CYIG with caution until more details on this matter become available.
