Item 8.01. Other Events

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment (the “Amendment”) to a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) filed by the Company on October 16, 2015 which disclosed that, in late September of 2015, the Company was informed that an investigation had been initiated against Mr. Guoqing Jiang, Chief Executive Officer, Acting Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Company by Public Order Corps of Sichuan Province Public Security Department (the “SPPSD”) in connection with the temporary halt of production and sale of the Company’s Hugan Tablets in mid 2014, which was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 7, 2014, amended subsequently on May 14, 2014, May 23, 2014 and July 8, 2014, as well as the Company’s periodic reports thereafter.

The Company is filing this Amendment to clarify that the investigation initiated by SPPSD is unrelated to the investigations in mid-2014 which was conducted by China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”). It is alleged by SPPSD that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Tianyin”), was involved in production and sale of counterfeit drugs in connection with the Company’s Hugan Tablets. It is alleged by SPPSD that, according to China’s Drug Administration Law, Chengdu Tianyin’s substitution of a required herbal ingredient (Radix Bupleuri) with another herbal ingredient (Bupleurum Marginatum) in the production of Hugan Tablets is illegal and therefore shall be deemed “production and sale of counterfeit drugs”. This is a criminal investigation against Chengdu Tianyin, and not against Mr. Jiang as an individual. Mr. Jiang is being involved in this investigation because he is the legal representative of Chengdu Tianyin. Mr. Jiang is currently being detained by SPPSD and his personal freedom is being restricted; therefore, for the time being, he cannot perform his regular duties.

As a part of the investigation, SPPSD took certain accounting files and relevant purchase, production and sale files of the Company. Currently the Company is actively seeking to get back the files as soon as possible, since those files are required to complete the Company’s annual audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. According to the Company’s recent communications with SPPSD, it is expected that the files may be returned to the Company in March 2016.

Item 4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.


As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 14, 2015 by Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (the “Company”), on October 29, 2014, Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Tianyin”, which is the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary), Grandway Group Holdings Ltd. (“Grandway Group”, which is the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary), Guoqing Jiang (“Jiang”, who is the Company’s Chairman and CEO), and Shandong Buchang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Buchang”) (each, a “Party”, and collectively “Parties) entered into a Cooperation Framework Agreement Regarding Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“Cooperation Framework Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Framework Agreement, the Parties agreed to establish a joint venture, Qionglai Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Qionglai Tianyin”), with the total registered capital of RMB 200,000,000 (approximately US$32.3 million), with Chengdu Tianyin owning 95% and Shandong Buchang owning 5%. Shandong Buchang’s capital investment in Qionglai Tianyin took the form of RMB 10 million (approximately US$1.6 million), and Chengdu Tianyin’s capital investment in Qionglai Tianyin took the form of its buildings, land use rights, machineries and equipment of its plants located at Longquan and Qionglai, all of its patents and trademarks, and its portfolio drugs collectively valuated at approximately RMB 190 million (approximately USD $30.7 million) (the “Assets”). Following the execution of the Cooperation Framework Agreement, registration documents to establish Qionglai Tianyin were filed on November 3, 2014 and approved on January 27, 2015. In April and May 2015, pursuant to certain Share Transfer Agreements (the “Share Transfer Agreements”), Chengdu Tianyin transferred a total 75% ownership of Qionglai Tianyin to Shandong Buchang for RMB160 million (approximately $26 million).

Due to the entry into the Cooperation Framework Agreement and Share Transfer Agreements within the quarter ended December 30, 2014, and the fact that the Company had decided to contribute the Assets to Qionglai Tianyin as its capital contribution in the joint venture, the Company’s Board of Directors therefore concluded on August 6, 2015 that the Assets which will be contributed to the joint venture should be classified as “Assets Held for Sale” in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) and a footnote regarding the transactions shall be also included therein. Accordingly, it is concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q as filed should no longer be relied upon.

Management and the Board of Directors of the Company discussed this matter with the Company’s principal accountants and decided to amend the Company’s Form 10-Q as soon as possible to include the disclosures of the joint venture and share transfer, as well as the effects on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $4.0 million as compared to $8.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were $20.4 million as compared to $37.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The sales decrease was a result of continuous pricing pressure and restrictive sales policies on generic products compared with the same period last year. The decrease was caused by the relocation process of the Company’s manufacturing facility from the previous Longquan location to the new QLF site in parallel with the Chinese New Year in February during this period.

Net Loss was $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $0.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Net loss was $0.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $3.1 million net income with net margin of 8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of net margins was primarily due to the GMOL R&D costs and the decrease of sales as a result of the relocation process discussed above.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were $6.7 million as compared to $13.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $16.4 million as compared to $28.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The sales decrease was a result of continuous pricing pressure and restrictive sales policies on generic products compared with the same period last year. The decrease was also a result of the relocation process of Company’s manufacturing facility from the previous Longquan location to the new QLF site.

Net Income was $0.1 million with net margin of 1.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to net income of $1.7 million with net margin of 12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Net income was $1.1 million with net margin of 7% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $3.2 million with net margin of 11% for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of net margins was primarily due to the GMOL R&D costs and the decrease of sales as a result of the relocation process discussed above.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 was $46.6 million, decreased by 31% from $67.5 million for the fiscal year 2013, mainly due to the Hugan incidence, along with generic pricing pressure, sales volume decrease and prolonged JCM production ramp up. We witnessed a 43% reduction of total revenue of TPI’s organic portfolio which excludes the distribution revenue, from $51.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 to $29.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. With the recovery of production capacity and sales, we are implementing various strategies to stabilize our generic sales.

Net loss attributable to TPI was $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, compared with a net income of $6.6 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The loss was mainly caused by the production interruption, sales decrease and related costs that resulted from GMP re-certification.

Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results:

  • Revenue was $8.6 million versus $15.5 million in the third quarter FY 2013, a decrease of 45% year over year.
  • Net Income was $0.38 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, EPS of $0.00, as compared to net income of $1.3 million with EPS of $0.04 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.


Business Outlook

Fiscal 2014 Guidance

TPI continues to experience restrictive pricing pressures in the healthcare market. The prevailing tightened pricing control of generic products in China from the government's efforts to promote lower margined essential drugs (EDL) compressed our margins as well as our sale volumes of those generics. These factors, together with the negative market environment of Azi API pricing led to an intensified market and pricing competition combined with an excess of capacity that may last for the next few years.

Based on the impact from the suspension of production and sale of Hugan Tablets and the effect from temporary production interruption and the rippling market effect, we revise our previous revenue forecast of 0% to 5% growth year over year to (20-30)% year over year reduction mainly due to the further underperformance of our generic segment and the rippling market impact from the Hugan Tablets incident. We currently keep our 10% net margin forecast unchanged. The forecasted net income guidance excludes any non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation plans or stock option expenses.

We believe the following factors will influence the future growth prospects of our Company:


1) Revenue growth of TPI's core product portfolio led by flagship product GMOL;

2) Steady ramp up of JCM revenue in the fiscal year 2014;

3) Stabilization of generic sales following the progressive pricing restrictions and the recovery of market share following of the production restart;

4) Meaningful TMT distribution revenue contribution; and

5) QLF relocation and smooth transition of production capacity.

Management will continue to evaluate the Company's business outlook and communicate any changes on a quarterly basis or as when appropriate.

Item 8.01. Other Events


As an effort to expand generic market amid the pricing pressure of its generic division, Tianyin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company” or “TPI”) has explored the strategic reduction of the tendering price of its Hugan Tablets (for liver conditions, approximately $0.6 million sales per year) in order to compete in Zhejiang province of China. The competitive tender price has helped TPI to successfully secure the right of sales for Hugan Tablets in Zhejiang province. However, as a part of the government’s regulatory procedure, the China Food and Drug Administration (the “CFDA”) normally conducts examination on the production process and the cost of sales for competitive (low) tendering price bidders. Currently TPI is under such examination for quality and pricing tests that are conducted by the CFDA of Sichuan province. During the examination period, the Company’s Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) certificate granted by the CFDA on August 27, 2013 is being administrated by Sichuan provincial CFDA and the sale of our Hugan Tablets are temporarily halted, pending the results of quality and pricing tests. We expect the tests will be completed in late April. Management is confident that TPI will pass the quality and pricing tests successfully and be able to resume sales of Hugan Tablets.
 
The Company is currently assessing the impact on sales of Hugan Tablets as a result of this event, as well as indirect impact on the sales of our other generic products, if any. We will promptly file an amendment to this Form 8-K when a status update is available.

  • Net Income EPS was $0.6 for the second quarter FY 2014 as compared with $0.6 in the second quarter FY 2013.

Business Development & Outlook

Research and Development (R&D)

The partnership-based R&D strategy supports TPI to commercialize, produce, and broaden our product pipeline and to market those products through our sales and marketing infrastructure. Currently, we have been monitoring the progress of several pipeline drugs with our partnership research institutes, of which we could be able to register intellectual property rights of these products upon milestone results.

R&D for additional indications of GMOL

Our flagship product GMOL (CFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225) contributes significantly to our revenue. Clinical application and information gathered from physicians showed that in addition to our approved indication for GMOL: cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease and cerebral ischemic attack including strokes, off-label use of GMOL have been indicated in hepatic diseases and ophthalmological diseases. The validity of these observations is currently being investigated.

Jiangchuan Macrolide Project (JCM)

TPI has completed the 240-ton JCM facility for the R&D, manufacturing and sale of API and chemical intermediates of macrolide antibiotics. In January 2012, JCM was approved for its GMP certification designated as "CHUAN M0799," which is valid for the period of December 31, 2011 until December 31, 2015. Following the efficiency improvement and calibration, JCM started the production of the macrolide API for TPI's Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets (SFDA No: H20074145) since July 2012. Currently the monthly production capacity of JCM is 5 - 10 tons of Azithromycin macrolide API. The API produced by JCM is mainly to supply for TPI's own Azithromycin Tablets.

Tianyin Medicine Trading Distribution Business (TMT)

TMT is established to distribute products manufactured by both TPI and other pharmaceutical companies to fuel our expanding sales network as well as to provide synergy to our existing organic product portfolio. TMT has been distributing mainly TPI's own products since its inception in 2009. Since 2010, TPI has signed and later extended distribution contracts with Jiangsu Lianshui Pharmaceutical ("Lianshui") to distribute Lianshui-branded generic injection products including cough suppressant, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines and other healthcare indications. On average, TMT distribution revenue contributed approximately $1-2 million sales per quarter.

Pre-extraction and formulation plant development at Qionglai Facility (QLF)

In preparation for the new Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards stipulated by the PRC government in early 2011, TPI initiated a process to optimize the manufacturing facilities and production lines of the Company in compliance with the new GMP standards. We received our current GMP certificate for both of our pre-extraction plant and formulate facilities on August 27, 2013 for the next three years until the end of 2015. In addition, under the guidance by provincial government, our facility is scheduled to be relocated to Qionglai County, south of Chengdu, which is designated for the pharmaceutical industry. The Qionglai facility (QLF) post-relocation is approximately 18 miles from the Company's recently completed JCM facility. The proposed relocation project also includes our TCM pre-extraction plant which is currently located near the center of the city of Chengdu surrounded by a rapidly expanding residential area. Both the pre-extraction plant and the formulation plant will subsequently be relocated to Qionglai County to become a combined QLF plant, which is estimated to be 80 mu or approximately 13 acres. The combined QLF plant, designed and constructed according to the latest GMP standards, is expected to relieve the current capacity saturation at the current facilities. The re-location cost for Phase I (which includes relocation of both the formulation plant and pre-extraction plant) is estimated at $25 million, which, when completed, is expected to expand the current capacity by approximately 30%. If the Company decides to further expand the capacity, Phase II QLF, an additional $10 million may be invested to double the current capacity. Since the official start of the relocation project in February 2012, the construction of the QLF project has been progressing on schedule. The relocation of pre-extraction plant of Phase I has been initiated at the beginning of 2014 calendar year which will be immediately followed by the initiation of the relocation of formulation plant.

Fiscal 2014 Guidance

TPI continues to experience restrictive pricing pressures in the pharmaceutical market. The prevailing tightened pricing control of generic medicines in China from the government's efforts to promote lower margined essential drugs (EDL) compressed our margins as well as our sale volumes of those generics. These factors, together with the negative market environment of Azithromycin API pricing led to intensified market and pricing competition combined with an excess of capacity that may last for the next few years.

We reiterate the revenue forecast to range from 0% to 5% year over year growth from fiscal year 2013, with about 10% net margin. The net income guidance excludes any non-cash expenses associated with stock or stock options compensation plans.

We believe the following factors will influence the future growth perspectives of TPI:

  • Revenue growth of TPI's core product portfolio led by flagship product GMOL;
  • Gradual ramp up of JCM revenue in the fiscal year 2014;
  • Stabilization of generic sales following the progressive pricing restrictions;
  • Meaningful TMT distribution revenue contribution;

The prevailing tightened pricing control of generic medicines inChina amid the healthcare reform and from the government's efforts to promote lower margined essential drugs (EDL) also simultaneously compressed our margins as well as our sale volumes of those generic products. These factors, together with the negative market environment of Azithromycin API pricing led to intensified market and pricing competition combined with an excess of capacity that may continue to last for the next few years.

Based on the continuous pricing pressure going forward, we reiterate the revenue forecast to range from 0% to 5% growth year over year from fiscal year 2013, along with a 10% net margin. The forecasted net income guidance excluded any non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation plans or stock option expenses.

We believe the following factors will influence the future growth perspectives of our Company:

1)

Market expansion and revenue growth of TPI's core product portfolio led by flagship product GMOL;

CHENGDU, China, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (NYSE Amex: TPI), a pharmaceutical company that specializes in patented biopharmaceutical, modernized traditional Chinese medicine (mTCM), branded generics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), announced that as of October 8, 2013, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of TPI (the "Company") both unanimously approved the termination of the Company's independent auditor, Patrizio and Zhao LLC ("P&Z"), due to the fact that P&Z agreed to a cease-and-desist order and prohibition from practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 30, 2013, with the right to apply for reinstatement after three years.

From January 25, 2008 when P&Z was engaged, through the termination of the engagement with P&Z on October 8, 2013, there were no: (1) disagreements with P&Z on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreements, or (2) reportable events.

The audit reports of P&Z on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and in the subsequent interim periods did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Since P&Z is barred from practicing before the SEC, financial statements for a period previously audited by P&Z and required to be included in a filing made by the Company after September 30, 2013 will have to be re-audited by a firm that is registered with the PCAOB.

Currently, the Company is evaluating options to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm to replace P&Z.

Comments & Business Outlook

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

  • The company reported revenue of $18.4 million, compared to $19.5 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2012.
  • The company reported EPS of $0.07, compared to $0.10 for the same quarter of fiscal 2012.

Sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was $67.5 million, decreased by 3.0% from $69.6 million for the fiscal year 2012, as a result of generic pricing pressure, coupled with prolonged JCM production ramp up. We are currently exploring and implementing various strategies to stabilize our generic sales. In addition to the distribution revenue from TMT and JCM macrolide API revenue, we are also focusing on expanding sales efforts at tier 3 and tier 2 hospitals in major cities of China to strengthen our high-end hospital pharmaceutical market segment.

Business Outlook

Our revenue of approximately $67.5 million came below our previously estimated 5% growth projection year over year. This was mainly due to the tightened pricing control of generic medicines in China amid the healthcare reform and from the government's efforts to promote lower margined essential drugs (EDL) prices that simultaneously compressed our margins as well as our sale volumes of those generic products. Those factors, together with the negative market environment of Azithromycin API pricing led to intensified market and pricing competition combined with an excess of capacity that may continue to last for a few years.

Our net margin guidance met our estimated 10% goal and delivered net income for our fiscal year 2013 of $6.8 million, a growth of 6% from fiscal year 2012. This was primarily attributable to the improvement of our gross margins driven by growth in our core product sales growth.

The following factors, in our opinion, will influence the future growth perspectives of our Company:

  1. Market expansion and revenue growth of TPI's core product portfolio led by flagship product Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL) and other major products;
  2. Gradual ramp up of JCM revenue in the fiscal year 2014;
  3. The stabilization of generic sales following the progressive pricing restrictions as a result of the ongoing healthcare reform;
  4. Steady TMT distribution revenue contribution; and
  5. QLF relocation and smooth transition of production capacity.

Considering the continuous generic pricing pressure going forward, along with gradual development of our JCM business and the steady TMT distribution revenue for the following year, we forecast that the revenue growth for TPI may range from 0% to 5% for the coming year, along with a 10% net margin.

CHENGDU, China, July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (NYSE Amex: TPI), a pharmaceutical company that specializes in patented biopharmaceutical, modernized traditional Chinese medicine (mTCM), branded generics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) today provided further updates on the business development of its flagship product: Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL) with the SFDA approval number: H20013079.

GMOL is a prescription medicine that targets cardiovascular indications such as strokes, coronary heart diseases, angina as well as reduces the risks of age-related cardiovascular ailments. Additional information regarding GMOL can also be accessed at the official website of SFDA at www.sfda.gov.cn, (Chinese version) or http://baike.baidu.com/view/3029034.htm.

In July 2013, GMOL was awarded Provincial Essential Drug List (PEDL) status at Guangdong Province, one of the major provinces of China with population over 100 million (http://finance.qq.com/a/20110430/000490.htm). This is the fifth province that awarded PEDL status to TPI's GMOL after its PEDL listings at Henan ProvinceShandong ProvinceSichuan Province and theCity of Chongqing (Directly Governed City, the same status as provinces). The combined population of these regions is estimated at approximately 330 million (http://baike.baidu.com/view/244361.htm#2).

Under the ongoing healthcare reform, PEDL listing ensures the full coverage of the costs for the patients who use the PEDL drugs. As a result, national and provincial EDL listings could substantiate the market development for these products.

R&D for additional indications of flagship product Gingko Mihuan (GMOL)

Our flagship product Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL, SFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225) contributes approximately 39% to our total revenue. Clinical application and information gathered from our physicians showed that in addition to our approved indication for GMOL: cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease and cerebral ischemic attack including strokes, off-label use of GMOL have been indicated in hepatic diseases and ophthalmological diseases. The validity of these observations is currently being investigated.

Fiscal 2013 Guidance

The Company continues to face restrictive pricing pressures in our general marketplace as a result of the enactment of additional healthcare reform policies. We believe these policies could continue to put pressure on our ability to increase pricing both short-term and over the next several years, moderately affecting our revenue and margin guidance. However, we believe that the positive revenue growth we are realizing in our JCM and TMT distribution business, along with the growth we are experiencing in our core product portfolio, may help us offset to a certain degree of the general pricing pressures we have been witnessing. Given these conditions, we presently believe that we may be able to deliver revenue growth of approximately 5% to 10% in our fiscal year 2013 at a 10% net margin.

Management will continue to evaluate the Company's business outlook and communicate any changes on a quarterly basis or as when appropriate.

Business Development & Outlook

R&D for additional indications of flagship product Gingko Mihuan (GMOL)

Our flagship product Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL, SFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225) contributes to more than 30% of our total revenue. Clinical application and information gathered from our physicians showed that in addition to our approved indication for the usage of GMOL: cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease and cerebral ischemic attack including strokes, Off-label use of GMOL have been indicated in hepatic diseases and ophthalmological diseases. The validity and mechanisms of these observations are being investigated in a number of hospitals.

Under the ongoing healthcare reform policy that favors the sale of EDL drugs in China, the national or provincial EDL listing could substantially support the market development of these products. Recently, GMOL has been selected as an EDL drug in both Henan and Shandong province (with a combined population of approximately 200 million) EDL provincial supplementary lists. The EDL status grants a full insurance coverage or 100% government reimbursement for patients.

Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Guidance

As a result of the current pricing restriction by the healthcare reform policies of the government along with the rippling effect of the highly competitive market environment for our generic portfolio, we revised our fiscal 2012 revenue guidance from $100 million to $66 million and our net income guidance from $10 million to $6.5 million. Our revised estimated projection is based upon several factors including but not limited to the following:

  1. A delay in our JCM revenue ramp up estimated to occur in the second half of 2012;
  2. Reduced generic sales as a result of pricing restrictions and healthcare reform policies recently undertaken by the government that was only partially offset from the steady revenue stream of our flagship product portfolio;
  3. Flat but steady TMT distribution revenue.

Management will continue to evaluate the Company's business outlook and communicate any changes on a quarterly basis or as when appropriate.

Comments & Business Outlook
We are reaffirming the guidance for the fiscal year 2012 to the $100 million top-line and $11 million net income. We have recently received the approval of High Tech valuation of our Longquan Facility, which should be able to carry over to our Qionglai Facility, this with certain registration process could effectively reduce our tax rate from the current 25% or 30% to around 15% to 20%.

Comments & Business Outlook

Second Quarter 2012 Results

  • 2Q FY2012 revenue delivered $18.2 million compared with $25.3 million in 2Q FY2011,
  • 2Q FY2012 operating income delivered $2.1 million, compared with $5.3 million in 2Q FY2011,
  • Net Income was $1.7 million compared with $5.9 million in 2Q FY2011,
  • Earnings per share of $0.06 per basic share, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with $0.21 per basic share, or $0.20 per diluted share in 2Q FY2011,
  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $36.9 million on December 31, 2011,
  • Operating cash flow for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $8.2 million, compared with $10.8 million for the six months ending December 31, 2010.

The sales decrease from the prior year was mainly due to 1) generic pricing pressure, 2) government policy to prioritize Essential Drug List (EDL) drug sales that led to the sales and margin compression of higher margined generic pharmaceuticals, and 3) in the quarter ended December 31, 2010, ahead of the current healthcare reform policies being enforced, downstream customers had significantly built up their inventory which led to a revenue gain of 69.6% for TPI from the prior year.

Based on the blend of the TMT lower margin revenue and the current pricing restriction, our overall gross margin in the near term, on a quarter to quarter comparison basis, may trend lower, but on a sequential basis should stabilize depending on the sales mix of TMT, JCM API revenue as compared to the proprietary portfolio revenue performance.

Business Development & Outlook

GMOL Capsule formulation

In November 2011, we announced the formulation expansion program for our flagship product GMOL (SFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225). GMOL, the proprietary prescription medicine for TPI, is used nationwide in China to treat brain ischemia and infarction, coronary heart diseases, memory dysfunction and other neurological disorders. The new capsule formulation is more convenient to carry while traveling, adding to its ease of use for those long term treatment users. In addition, the cost of production and packaging material for the capsule formulation will reduce the overall cost of sales by 70% while extending the expiration period to 3 years from the current 2 years for oral liquid form. The new capsule formulation is expected to support the revenue growth of GMOL at approximately 30% year over year and improve the gross margin of GMOL products to 75% or higher. TPI will also apply for patent protection for the new capsule formulation. The R&D cost associated with the capsule formulation is estimated at $1-2 million.

Jiangchuan Macrolide Project (JCM)

In January 2012, following a series of the internal quality assessment and the environmental safety and impact assessment, JCM was approved for its GMP certification designated as "CHUAN M0799" valid through the period of December 31, 2011 until December 31, 2015.

Qionglai (QLF) Project

In preparation for the new Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards stipulated by the PRC government in early 2011, TPI initiated the process of optimizing the manufacturing facilities and production lines in compliance with the new GMP standards by 2013. Concurrently, the city of Chengdu has re-designated various industrial parks of nearby counties to for particular industries such as automobile, biotechnologies, pharmaceuticals and chemical engineering for individual locations. As a consequence, TPI's manufacturing facility at the Longquan district, east of Chengdu, which is designated for automotive industry, is scheduled to be relocated to Qionglai city, south of Chengdu, which is designated for pharmaceutical industry. The QLF is approximately 18 miles from the Company's recently completed Jiangchuan macrolide (JCM) facility. The proposed relocation project also includes our TCM pre-extraction plant which is located near the center of city of Chengdu surrounded by rapidly expanding residential area.

On February 13, 2012, TPI announced the official start of its Qionglai Facility (QLF) project following the initial planning period. The Phase I of QLF project will be the construction of the pre-extraction plant which is targeted for completion by the end of 2012 calendar year.

The pre-extraction is the first step of the manufacturing process of modernized traditional Chinese medicine (mTCM). The pre-extraction facility will conduct initial processing of TCM raw material, separation using alcohol or water precipitation, filtration, centrifugation, concentration and purification of TCM pharmaceutical ingredients which will be further processed for the production of mTCM at the formulation facility.

The QLF occupies 80 mu or 53,000 m2. Both pre-extraction plant and the formulation plant are to be relocated. The combined QLF plant, designed and constructed according to the latest GMP standards, is expected to relieve the current capacity saturation at TPI's facilities. The re-location and construction cost is estimated at $25 million for Phase I which will expand the current capacity by 30%. For Phase II QLF, an additional $10 million may be employed to double the current capacity by 2013.ally begun after the initial planning stage.

We also focus on AAA and AA hospitals in major cities of China to develop the high end hospital pharmaceutical market while previously we had targeted large but dispersed markets in rural areas. Our top five products by sales are: GMOL: $2.9 million; APU: $0.93 million; AZI: $0.48 million; XLCC: $0.64 million; and QR: $0.61 million. These products totaled $5.6 million in sales, representing 32% of the quarterly revenue.

Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Guidance 

Based on the upcoming JCM macrolide API revenue which is expected in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the current pricing pressure on generic pharmaceuticals, together with the evolving government policies amid ongoing healthcare reform, we forecast our fiscal year 2012 revenue of $100 million and net income guidance of $11 million. Our projection is also based on: 1) JCM upcoming revenue for primarily the second half of FY2012; 2) reduced generic portfolio sales but relatively steady revenue from the flagship product portfolio; 3) capacity optimization and relocation of TPI's manufacturing facilities; and 4) steady TMT distribution revenue.

Business Outlook

Jiangchuan Macrolide Project - JCM

JCM facility is currently under inspection for environmental and safety standards which will be immediately followed by the API production and GMP certification for the JCM project. We reaffirm our first year JCM macrolide API revenue forecast of $30 million.

Tianyin Medicine Trading Distribution Business - TMT

Since the signing of one-year distribution rights in last November with Jiangsu Lianshui Pharmaceutical to distribute 15 Lianshui-branded generic injection products including cough suppressant, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medicines, the TMT distribution business delivered $17.1 million in revenue.

Future Forecast

We have met and exceeded the $90.0 million revenue guidance and the $16.0 million net income forecast excluding any non-cash expenses due to stock compensation plans or stock option expenses. As a result of the price reduction on generic pharmaceutical products nationwide as a result of the ongoing healthcare reform, our generic sales, which makes up approximately 40% of our total revenue, has been under pressure. Our analysis of the market condition suggests that although the pricing pressure is likely to continue, the JCM revenue along with the TMT distribution revenue are expected to support the growth of TPI for the coming fiscal year. We reaffirmed our forecast of $30 million for JCM revenue for its first year of operation. Management will continue to evaluate the Company's business outlook and communicate any changes on a quarterly basis or as when appropriate.

Comments & Business Outlook

Third Quarter Results:

  • Revenue increased 56.3% year over year to $24.9 million from $15.9 million in third quarter fiscal year 2010;
  • Operating income increased 39.9% year over year to $5.0 million from $3.6 million in third quarter fiscal year 2010;
  • Net Income increased to $3.7 million, up 27.7% year over year from $2.9 million in third quarter fiscal year 2010;
  • Earnings per share of $0.13 per basic share, or $0.12 per diluted share, up from $0.11 per basic share, or $0.09 per diluted share a year earlier, a gain of 19.3% and 35.5%,  respectively;
  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $31.1 million on March 31, 2011 or $1.10 per basic share in cash;
  • Targeting 900 hospitals coverage by the end of fiscal year 2011 up from the current 880 hospitals network;
  • Forecasting $30 million JCM macrolide API revenue for the first year of operation

Due to the recent healthcare reform and the resulting pricing pressure on  generic pharmaceutical sales nationwide, since January 2011, our generic division which makes up approximately 40% of our total revenue is expected to experience sales reduction for the next few quarters. In addition, the longer than expected equipment installation and GMP certification preparation process following the newly issued SFDA GMP standards by the PRC government at the beginning of March 2011, are expected to reduce the previously forecast revenue of JCM macrolide facility. We therefore revise our fiscal year 2011 revenue guidance to $90.0 million representing 40.8% year over year growth, from the previously guided $113.0 million in total revenue.

Based on the revised revenue forecast of $90.0 million along with the new 25% income tax rate starting in January 2011 from the previous 15% for Chengdu Tianyin, we revise our net income forecast to $16 million, representing 32.9% year over year growth from previous $18 million. The forecasted net income excludes any non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation plans or stock option expenses. 

Our analysis of the market condition suggests that although the pricing pressure on the generic division is likely to continue for the remainder of 2012 calendar year, the JCM along with TMT distribution business are expected to support the growth of TPI for the coming fiscal year.

Fiscal Year 2011 Financial Guidance

We reiterate our fiscal year 2011

  • revenue guidance of $113.0 million, representing 76.8% year over year growth
  • net income guidance of $18.0 million, representing 50.0% year over year growth.

Our forecast is based on the following growth drivers:

1) steady revenue growth of the existing product portfolio including our flagship products such as Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL) for age-related cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders such as coronary heart diseases and stroke, Xuelian Chongcao Oral Liquid (XLCC) for immunity enhancement, Azithromycin Tablets (AZI) for bacterial infections and Apu Shuangxin (Benorylate) Granules (APU) for rheumatoid arthritis;

2) capacity ramp-up of Tianyin's newly completed production facility;

3) new product market entries from Tianyin's pipeline;

4) revenue contribution from Jiangchuan macrolide facility;

5) business development of Tianyin Medicine Trading (TMT), Tianyin’s distribution arm for specialty products by other pharmaceuticals that provide synergy to our existing product portfolio. In our forecast, we assume steady pricings for our products and revenue growth driven by increased sales. Forecasted net income does not include non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation plans, stock option expenses and/or future interest expense.

Our current facilities operate at approximately 80% of the total capacity on 24 hours per day schedule. We will be able to further utilize the remaining capacity and optimize the production with high-efficiency equipment base on increasing market demand


Liquidity Requirements
We believe that Tianyin is adequately funded to meet all of our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the fiscal year 2011.

Business Development & Outlook

Jiangchuan Progress Update

Jiangchuan focuses on the production of one of the world's best-selling antibiotics, macrolide antibiotics, such as Azithromycin. Jiangchuan holds a license from China's SFDA to produce macrolide antibiotics and a related business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and Tax department. Tianyin owns 77% of Jiangchuan and will utilize Jianchuan as the foundation of a broader, longer term strategy to build a significant presence in the rapidly growing macrolide antibiotics market. Construction of the new production facility in Xinjin Industrial Development Area commenced on January 8, 2010 with Phase I capacity of 240 ton capacity, followed by Phase II (total of 480 ton capacity including phase I) with a total estimated capital expenditures of $20 million. Tianyin anticipates Jiangchuan's revenue contribution to begin in the 2nd half of fiscal year 2011.

Development of Tianyin Medicine Trading Distribution Business

Since the inception of Tianyin Medicine Trading (TMT), we have been developing the distribution portfolio of TMT, Tianyin's distribution arm for specialty products manufactured by other pharmaceuticals that provide synergy to our existing organic product portfolio. Previously, TMT distributes mainly Tianyin's own products. In early November this year, we have successfully obtained one year distribution rights from state-owned Jiangsu Lianshui Pharmaceutical (Lianshui) to distribute approximately 15 Lianshui-branded generic injection products including cough suppressant, antiobiotics along with other healthcare indications. We forecast the annual distribution revenue from TMT to reach approximately $10 million.

Research

Our intent over the short-term is to build a check list to assess the risk position of firms in the ChinaHybrid space. For the time being this will consist of the following: (this list is likely to grow substantially)

- Is the company's auditor ranked in the top 100?
- Is the auditor located in the U.S.A? If located in China the PCAOB (Public Company Oversight Board) may be denied access to investigate the practices of the auditing firm. Short sellers have been using this information as a tool to validate their opinions.
- Are the company's internal controls satisfactory?
- Are their any outstanding legal issues?
- Do the company's top ten customers represent less than 10% of revenues?
- Operating cash flow divided by current liabilities is greater than one. The higher the better.
- Cash divided by current liabilities. This is an the most conservative liquidity ratio. The higher the better
- Is the company buying back stock?
- Chinese filings match respective SEC filings.(In process)

Criteria Meets Criteria Notes
Top 100 Auditor No PATRIZIO & ZHAO, LLC
Auditor Located U.S.A Yes Parsippany, NJ
Satisfactory Internal Controls No In our Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management did however identify a significant deficiency as of June 30, 2009, as discussed below. remediate this situation, we are in the process of recruiting experienced professionals to augment our financial staff to address issues of timeliness and completeness in US GAAP financial reporting. We believe that the remediation measures we are taking, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the significant deficiency discussed above.
No Legal issues Yes None Found
Customer Concentration No Five major customers accounted for 20% and 45% of the net revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Cash Flow Ratio is Greater than 1 Yes 4.29
Cash Ratio is Greater than
1
Yes 2.90
Buying Back Stock/Insider Buying Yes see note

Short term and risk adverse investors should be aware of the quality issues currently present in the ChinaHybrid Space, questioning the validity of what seem like solid fundamental stories. It is beginning to get ugly so be cautious and understand that more pain may have to be endured, as ChinaHybrids are easy prey for short investors. The broad brush that is being applied to theses stocks appears unfair, but we can’t ignore the psychological impact this can have on investors’ portfolio decisions. If history is our guide, fear will eventually create an immense opportunity to invest in the companies that prove they can meet quality litmus tests enact shareholder friendly moves. Credibility can also be restored if independent legal/SEC opinions validate accounting practices currently in question.

We have yet to verify if the Chinese filings for ChinaHybrid stocks we monitor match respective SEC filings. We are in the process of completing this task. Conservative investors may want to limit exposure or buy put options on stocks, that have this availability, as insurance against long positions, until we publish our findings. Odds are we will identify some promising companies that will fail this litmus test.

GeoSpecial Notes

Added to the GeoSpecial list on December 3, 2009 @ $4.35

Catalyst: Company has a robust drug pipeline. Substantially increased capacity.
Peak performance: Reached a high of $5.25 on January 13, 2010.
Current Price: $3.06

Current road block: The company is still dealing with dilution issues that we originally highlighted in our initial report on December 3, 2009; No knowledge of capital needs for its fiscal 2011 year:

"We believe that Tianyin is adequately funded to meet all of our working capital and capital expenditure needs for 2010."

Remains on the GeoSpecial list. Tianyin Pharmaceuticals 2010 fiscal year ends in June. If 2010 guidance holds up fourth quarter EPS should grow 24% to $0.10. This will be the first EPS growth quarter since the its 2010 first quarter when EPS grew 9.1% to $0.08. If all holds, 2010 EPS will come in at $0.35 ($0.32 fully taxed). Based on fiscal 2011 net income guidance of $19.6 million, EPS could reach $0.56 ($0.50 fully taxed). This would imply an EPS growth rate of 56.25% and may qualify TPI as a GeoBargain as it enters 2011 as long as the company does not give away stock in an equity financing. The stock trades with a forward P/E of 6.2 and less than two times its book value per share of $1.75. We also like that the company has been buying back stock.

"On October 27, 2008, the 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."

"On January 30, 2009, we announced the start of the initial purchase of shares under its previously announced stock repurchase program. Those shares will be retired to the treasury while reducing the number of outstanding shares of the common stock or sold out wholly or partially when market turns better. The initial share buyback illustrate our confidence in the long-term growth of the company and our commitment to our shareholders. As of April 3, 2009, a total of 83,785 shares have been bought back at prevailing market prices. The share repurchase program is to continue for the remainder of 2010."

Please note: On July 6, 2010, the GeoTeam® removed all Chinese stocks that were on GeoBargains and GeoSpecial lists to respective Radar lists as we complete our "quality assessment."

***Very Important GeoTeam® note. We have yet to verify if the Chinese filings for ChinaHybrid stocks we monitor match respective SEC filings. We are in the process of completing this task. Although we are not totally convinced that SAIC filings are an accurate represenation of financial statements the issue is impacting stock prices. Conservative investors may want to limit exposure or buy put options on stocks, that have this availability, as insurance against long positions, until we publish our findings. Odds are we will identify some promising companies that will fail this litmus test.

Special Situations

This morning we coded Tianyin Pharmaceuticals (NYSE Amex:TPI) as a GeoSpecial. Our readers may be aware that we have been tracking the Company for some time. Our largest hang up had been with potential dilution from "in-the-money" warrants. Although the Company's fiscal 2010 net income June guidance of $11.3 million represents a 43.0% increase from the fiscal 2009 raw net income number of $7.9 million, the increase in shares poses some uncertainty regarding the near term EPS growth scenario. (Extra outstanding shares is dependent on share price and application of the treasury stock method). We are unsure of the final share count that will be used  for 2010 year end numbers. Tianyin reported $0.32 EPS for its 2009 fiscal year.

Having said that, this morning Tianyin issued fiscal 2011 net income guidance of $19.6 million which implies EPS of $0.56 ($0.50 fully taxed). Couple this with an overall positive outlook and the TPI story begins to gain strength:

  • With approximately 39 products and a solid pipeline of 17 pharmaceutical products pending SFDA approval, Tianyin may be able to achieve consistent long term growth. It is important to note that the Company's product pipeline has been strong for some time and reflects the management team's vision.
  • We are very impressed with the rapid pace of SFDA approvals TPI has achieved. The Company has received 12 new approvals over the past 12 months. This bodes well for quick pipeline revenue generation and market penetration of its product pipeline.
  • The Company is aggressively targeting the macrolide antibiotics market where it sees significant opportunity.
  • Tianyin has the financial means to consider acquisitions that may give upside to guidance. They have $15 million in cash, $12 million in cash flow and the potential for $25 million from warrants that are currently in the money.
  • TPI has an extensive distribution channel with full province coverage, giving new products quick and broad market penetration.
  • With recent fund raising proceeds, the Company increased its capacity approximately 300% for solid dosage forms and can support annual revenues in excess of $100 million.
  • Bullish Management commentary:

"Management believes that our emphasis on further commercializing and broadening our product line coupled with the expansion of our production facility and capacity, enhanced sales and marketing efforts should continue to yield significant increases in revenue in 2010 and beyond. Additionally, we believe that our growth and overall market coverage could be further improved by certain strategic acquisitions or licensing opportunities. In addition, we believe the Pharmaceutical Industry could benefit from the expanded social reform which is part of the recently announced government stimulus plan.

Our forecasts do not include any potential future acquisitions or joint venture agreements. The company is currently evaluating several acquisition opportunities, including companies with complementary product portfolios, and those which would accelerate the macrolide antibiotic business growth strategy."

"It's important for our shareholders to understand the management's vision for building a successful pharmaceutical company through both organic growth and accretive acquisitions."

While short-term investors may still approach TPI with trepidation, astute long term investors may be begin to notice the opportunity, especially given the Company's overall strong fundamental story. The stock is selling at trailing P/E of 13 and forward P/E of 8.
