PART 1

Item 1.                       Business

Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc (“Aoxing Pharma” or the “Company”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company located in China specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain-management products.  Currently, its common stock is trading on NYSE Amex, a subsidiary of NYSE Euronext, under the ticker symbol "AXN".    Headquartered in Shijiazhuang City, the pharmaceutical capital of China, outside of Beijing, Aoxing Pharma has China's largest and the most advanced manufacturing facility for highly regulated narcotic medicines, addressing a very under-served and fast-growing market in China. Its facility is one of the few GMP facilities licensed for narcotics medicines. The Company is working closely with the Chinese government and SFDA to assure the strictly regulated availability to medical professionals of its narcotic drugs and pain medicines throughout China.  In addition, Aoxing Pharma has a joint venture collaboration with Johnson Matthey Plc to produce and market narcotics and neurological drugs in China. The Company also has strategic alliance partnerships with QRxPharma, Phoenix PharmaLabs, Inc and American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc.

The Company has one operating subsidiary, Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“Hebei Aoxing”), which  is  organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”). Since 2002, Hebei Aoxing has been engaged in developing narcotics and pain management products, building its facilities and obtaining the requisite licenses from the Chinese Government.  During the year ended June 30, 2009, Hebei Aoxing integrated into itself the business operations of Shijiazhuang Lerentang Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“LRT”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on pain related therapeutics which had been an operating subsidiary acquired by Hebei Aoxing in May 2008.  The Company owns 95% of the equity in Hebei Aoxing.  The remaining 5% is owned by our Chairman, Zhenjiang Yue, and his family.

 
 

 

History of the Company
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on January 23, 1996 under the name “Central American Equities Corp.”  Until mid-2006, the Company was engaged in the business of owning and operating hotels and restaurants and real property in Costa Rica.  On July 31, 2006, the Company’s hotel assets were sold to the individuals who were the Company’s Board of Directors until April 18, 2006.

On April 18, 2006, Ostar Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central American Equities Corp.  Ostar Pharmaceutical owned 60% of Hebei Aoxing.  As a result of the merger, the former stockholders of Ostar Pharmaceutical became owners of a majority of the voting power of the Company, and the Company became the owner of a 60% interest in Hebei Aoxing.  On July 6, 2006, the Company changed its name to “China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.” to better reflect the nature of its business.  On May 1, 2008 the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 35% interest in Hebei Aoxing from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhenjiang Yue.

On April 15, 2008 the Company entered into a Joint Strategic Alliance and Securities Purchase Agreement with American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (“AOB”).  The agreement provides that the Company and AOB will cooperate in the development and marketing of several narcotic drugs.  The agreement also provided for the sale to AOB by Aoxing Pharma of 15 million shares of its common stock.  As of September 26, 2010, AOB owns approximately 36% of the common stock of the Company.

On April 16, 2008, Hebei Aoxing completed the acquisition of 100% of the registered capital of LRT.  LRT is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Chinese traditional medicines focusing on pain management related therapeutics within China.  In exchange for transfer of ownership of LRT to Hebei Aoxing, the Company paid to the shareholders of LRT 80 million RMB and related expenses (approximately $12.4 million in total) and issued 4 million shares of common stock.   As of June 30, 2009, LRT was completed integrated into Hebei Aoxing.

On April 14, 2010, Aoxing Pharma’s common stock began trading on NYSE Amex, a subsidiary of NYSE Euronext, under the ticker symbol "AXN." In anticipation of the listing, on March 29, 2010  the Company changed the name of the corporation to "Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.," to better reflect its global brand extension, and  effected a one-for-two reverse split of its common stock.

On February 23, 2010, the Company and QRxPharma Limited, a publicly listed pharmaceutical company based in Australia, signed a strategic alliance to collaborate in the development of MoxDuo®IV, an intravenous formulation of QRxPharma's patented morphine and oxycodone Dual-Opioid™ technology for the acute treatment of moderate to severe pain. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will fund the development of MoxDuo®IV for the China market in exchange for exclusive marketing rights in China.  Under similar terms, the Company also licensed the rights to the China market for MoxDuo®IR, an immediate release capsule presently in pivotal Phase 3 studies in the United States under development by QRxPharma Limited.

On April 26, 2010, Aoxing Pharma and Johnson Matthey Plc entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture focused on research, development, manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API') for narcotics and neurological drugs for the China market. The joint venture represents a significant new opportunity for both companies to expand their business in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical market in China.  Under the terms of the agreement, Macfarlan Smith Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Plc, headquartered in the United Kingdom, will contribute technology expertise and capital to the joint venture. Hebei Aoxing, the operating subsidiary of Aoxing Pharma, will contribute capital, fixed assets and related API manufacturing licenses. The joint venture company is called Hebei Aoxing API Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. Hebei Aoxing has a 51% stake in the Company, while Macfarlan Smith (Hong Kong) Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Pacific Ltd) holds 49%. Each company have equal representation on a board of directors that will oversee a management team responsible for corporate strategies and operations.  The new joint venture will be located on the Hebei Aoxing campus in Xinle City, 200 kilometers southwest of Beijing. The total capital investment is projected to be approximately $15 million during the first five years.
 
On June 30, 2010, Aoxing Pharma and Phoenix PharmaLabs (“PPL”), Inc entered into a co-development, manufacturing and license agreement related to a novel class of poly-receptor active opioid-like drug candidates targeting pain and substance abuse and addiction treatment.  The two companies will continue to co-collaborate with the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse ("NIDA") and the Chinese National Institute on Drug Dependence at Beijing University ("NIDD").   Under the terms of the agreement, (1) Aoxing Pharma received an exclusive license to develop a new class of poly-receptor active opioid-like drug candidates being developed by PPL for therapeutic indications in pain management and substance abuse and addiction treatment in the Country of China, Macau and Hong Kong; (2) PPL will receive tiered royalties based on Adjusted Gross Sales (AGS) in the licensed territories, defined and agreed by both companies. Aoxing Pharma receives tiered royalties based on Adjusted Gross Sales (AGS) from the territories held by PPL, defined and agreed by both companies; (3) Aoxing Pharma will execute and fund the development, regulatory applications, manufacturing and marketing of the licensed drug candidates in China, while PPL will fund all development in all other territories.

Pharmaceutical Market in China: The pharmaceutical industry in China was approximately $147 billion in 2009 and China is expected to become the world’s fifth largest pharmaceutical market by 2010, which includes western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. This growth is being driven by several factors including improving standards of living and an increase in disposable income fueled by the growing economy, the aging population, the increasing participation in the State Basic Medical Insurance System and the increase in government spending on public health care. In January 2009, the Chinese government approved a healthcare reform plan and has budgeted RMB 850 billion, or $124 billion, for a  three year program to make medical services and products more affordable and accessible to the whole population.
 
Narcotics Industry in China: Currently, the pharmaceutical market in China is highly fragmented. We believe there are over 3,000 small enterprises currently engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products, and we expect significant consolidation of pharmaceutical business, products and technologies in China in near future.  However, based on recent statistics provided by the China SFDA, there are only 13 pharmaceutical companies designated by the China SFDA as narcotic drug producers in China.
 
Regulatory and Quality Control: Each of our pharmaceutical products has certain medicinal functions and has demonstrated safety and efficacy in accordance with the China SFDA requirements for the treatment of at least one or more therapeutic indications.  Our products are produced in various formulations, such as injection, tablets, capsules, oral solution and powders.  Our manufacturing facility in China is GMP certified, fully integrated with manufacturing support systems including quality assurance, quality control and regulatory compliance. We have developed our own independent quality control systems in accordance with SFDA regulations. Our quality assurance team devotes significant attention to quality control for designing, manufacturing and testing our products, and is also responsible for ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable national and local regulations and standards, as well as our internal policies. Our senior management team is also actively involved in setting quality assurance policies and managing internal and external quality performance. These support systems enable us to maintain high standards of quality for our products and deliver reliable products to our customers on a timely basis.
 
Naloxone SFDA Approval Received for Marketing: In November 2006, Hebei Aoxing received GMP certification for its Naloxone raw materials workshop from the China SFDA.  Hebei Aoxing started the production of the Naloxone raw materials in December 2006.  In January, 2007 the SFDA granted Hebei Aoxing the final GMP certificate (H4107) for small volume injectables, which was a significant milestone in our history.  In February 2007, Hebei Aoxing initiated the product launch of Naloxone Hydrochloride injectable in the Chinese market.  Currently Hebei Aoxing is authorize by the SFDA to manufacture Naloxone Hydrochloride injectable in four dosage strengths:  0.4mg (1ml), 1mg (1ml), 2mg (2ml) and 4mg (10ml).
 
Tilidine Tablets under Clinical Development: Tilidine hydrochloride is an orally-absorbed synthetic narcotic analgesic in 50mg or 100mg dosage strength for relief of acute, moderate to severe pain, and chronic cancer-related pain. It is mainly used in European countries, including Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and etc. It is not available in China at the moment.  Based on the Annual Report of International Narcotics Control Board in 2008, global consumption reached a record level in 2007 and global Tilidine manufacture also reached a peak of 62.2 tons in 2007, twice the level reported in 2002, or at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% during the last five year period.

It is estimated that there are at least 50 million operation procedures performed in Chiense hospital and clinical centers every year, and 50% of these procedures require acute post-operative pain treatment. In addition, there are estimated to be over 2.2 million newly diagnosed cancer patients every year, and 60% of them are unable to receive necessary pain management under the current treatment paradigm. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, cancer has become the No. 1 cause of death, contributing  to 20% of adult deaths in China.

In April 2007,   Hebei Aoxing received clearance from the China SFDA for the clinical study of Tilidine Hydrochloride tablets for the treatment of moderate to severe post-operative and cancer pain in adult patients.  The Tilidine tablets drug is not currently available in China.  To the best of our knowledge, Hebei Aoxing is currently the only authorized domestic manufacturer to develop Tilidine tablets. .  In the first half of 2010, Hebei Aoxing completed Phase III registration clinical study for Tilidine tablets, which is designated as a Class III New Medicine with approximately at least three-year market exclusivity protection upon marketing clearance by the China SFDA.

The Phase III clinical study was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind and active-control study which covers two pivotal trials: (1) a trial of 200 patients with post-operative pain for the indication of acute moderate to severe pain; and (2) a trial of 120 patients with cancer pain for the indication of chronic moderate to severe pain. The study was conducted at 9 metropolitan hospitals in China. The primary endpoints used to evaluate the efficacy were the sum of pain score differences, measured by Pain Intensity Difference (PID). The Company plans to submit the New Drug Application (NDA) for the final production clearance to the China SFDA by the end of 2010.

Codeine Phosphate Compound Oral Solution under Clinical Development: In June 2007, Hebei Aoxing received formal approval from the SFDA for the clinical study of Codeine Phosphate Compound Medicine for cold and flu treatment.  While Codeine Phosphate is widely used and considered effective in cold and flu treatment in Western countries, it just became available in China in 2006.  To the best of our knowledge, Hebei Aoxing is one of only two drug makers developing this medicine in China.  The China SFDA is currently reviewing the NDA submitted by the Company.

In June 2009 the Company completed the registration trial with Codeine Phosphate, a compound oral solution for the treatment of acute moderate to severe cough. This registration trial is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, positive-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and efficacy of compound oral solution of codeine phosphate in 215 patient subjects with acute moderate to severe cough. In early September 2009, the Company submitted its NDA of the product to the China SFDA.

Buprenorphine/Naloxone Entering Clinical Development: In November 2007, the China SFDA granted Hebei Aoxing and its partner, the National Institute of Drug Dependence at Beijing University, an important research and development license of Buprenorphine/Naloxone sublingual combo tablet to treat opioid dependence.   This project has been a joint effort of scientists from our Company and Beijing University since April 2005. This new combo therapy is expressly designed to combine the proven effectiveness and tolerability of buprenorphine with a lower potential for misuse, underlining our commitment to this therapy area.  There is much peer-reviewed evidence of superior efficacy and safety profile for this therapy.

In August 2010, the China SFDA granted the Company authority to initiate the registration clinical trial of Buprenorphine/Naloxone sublingual tablets for opioid addiction treatment.  The approval enables Aoxing Pharma to move forward to the final development stage with this therapy, which is novel in China as it is not yet available to patients.  The registration trial is planned to be administered by the National Institute on Drug Dependence of China at Beijing University, the co-development partner of Aoxing Pharma.  The patient enrollment will take place in at least three Compulsory Drug Dependence Treatment Centers.  The trial is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of the Buprenorphine/Naloxone sublingual tablet therapy among patients who are suffering from opioid dependence.  The registration trial is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind and active-control study, which is planned to enroll approximately 280 patients registered at Compulsory Drug Dependence Treatment Centers.  Subjects are randomized during a brief induction phase, a multi-week maintenance phase and a detoxification phase.

Based on Chinese government data, drug abuse and addiction has become a serious social problem and the situation has been getting worse over the last two decades.  As of December 2009 there were 1.3 million registered drug addicts in China, an increase of 15% from the prior year.  However, the real population of drug addicts is estimated to be about 13 million in China.  The Chinese government has taken comprehensive measures to address the problem, including centralized compulsory treatment camp, community clinics, psychological consulting and pharmacological therapies.  In 2009 approximately 200,000 individuals received compulsory drug addiction treatment at over 80 centralized treatment centers and other centers managed by the Chinese government.   The direct cost of illegal heroin purchase in China was estimated at $4 billion USD, and the overall monetary cost in connection with illegal drug purchase in China was estimated at $30 billion USD in 2009.

Tongjingshule Capsules for Primary Dysmenorrha: In May 2009 the Company acquired all rights to Tong Jin Shu Le (“TJSL”), a novel drug at Phase II development stage to treat primary dysmenorrhea (“”PD”), or menstrual pain, in adult women.  TJSL is a capsule form of selected herbal medicines at Phase III clinical development under the protocol approved by the China SFDA.

The Phase II trial provided positive results of safety and efficacy among 240 patients with primary dysmenorrheal during the 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial.

The current Phase III clinical study is a 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind and active-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TJSL Capsules among 440 patients with primary dysmenorrheal.  Subjects between 18 and 35 years old are actively being enrolled at six leading university teaching hospitals in metropolitan areas of China.  Subjects receive TJSL Capsules or active control, three times a day for ten days, starting one week prior to each menstrual cycle or period. The primary endpoints used to evaluate efficacy is the sum of pain score differences, measured by visual analogue scale (“VAS”), as well as symptom improvement during menstruation over three menstrual cycles.  This is a non-inferiority registration trial to the controlled arm, which was pre-approved by the China SFDA.

The prevalence rates of PD among women are from 60 to 90 percent. The market size of healthcare product to address menstrual pain is estimated at $3 billion per year in China.

Products – Narcotics and Pain Management

Global consumption of narcotic analgesics for the treatment of moderate to severe pain increased by more than 250% during the past decade.  However, the increase in consumption occurred mainly in countries in Europe and North America.   Narcotics, also known as opioids, are chemical substances that have a morphine-like action in the body.  They are prescribed when other pain medications and therapies fail to work. Opioids are used mostly for their analgesic properties to treat severe pain (fentanyl, hydromorphone, methadone, morphine and pethidine), moderate to severe pain (buprenorphine18 and oxycodone) and mild to moderate pain (codeine, dihydrocodeine and dextropropoxyphene), as well as to induce or supplement anaesthesia (fentanyl and fentanyl analogues such as alfentanil and remifentanil). They are also used as cough suppressants (codeine, dihydrocodeine and, to a lesser extent, pholcodine and ethylmorphine), to treat gastrointestinal disorders, mainly diarrhoea (codeine and diphenoxylate), and in the treatment of addiction to opioids (buprenorphine and methadone). Certain analgesic opioids, such as hydrocodone or oxycodone, are compounded in mixtures with non-opiate drugs to provide analgesic action (analgesic-antipyretic preparations).  These drugs are often used in combination with other medications such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and non-narcotic pain relievers.  Opioids are the strongest pain medicines available and may become addictive if used on a long-term basis.

Scientific research suggests that opioids relieve pain in two ways. First, they attach to opioid receptors, which are specific proteins on the surface of cells in the brain, spinal cord and gastrointestinal tract. These drugs interfere with the transmission of pain messages to the brain. Second, they work in the brain to alter the sensation of pain. These drugs do not take the pain away, but they do reduce and alter the patient’s perception of the pain.  There are four broad classes of narcotics: (1) endogenous opioid peptides (opioids produced naturally in the body); (2) opiates, such as the naturally occurring alkaloids, morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaverine, and the non-alkaloid heroin (processed morphine);  (3) semi-synthetic opioids, created from the natural opioids, such as hydromorphone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone; and  (4) fully synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, pethidine, methadone, and propoxyphene.

Opioid drugs have been associated with illicit drug abuse and drug related crime since the onset of their medical use. The United Nations and its member States coordinate this matter through the International drug control conventions.  Over 95 per cent of the Member States of the United Nations are now parties to the international drug control conventions, or the “Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961,” organized by International Narcotics Control Board (“INCB”). The conventions contain the basic legal structure, obligations, tools and guidance that are needed for all States to achieve the main aims of the international drug control system: controlled universal availability of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances for medical and scientific purposes only; prevention of drug abuse, drug trafficking and other forms of drug-related crime; and the undertaking of effective remedial action when prevention does not fully succeed. As such, the conventions constitute the world’s agreed proportionate response to the global problems of illicit drug abuse and trafficking and the world’s agreed legal framework for international drug control.  China entered the “Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961” in 1985, which resulted in the gradual loosening of government policy toward the control of analgesic supplies.

Since its inception in 2002, Hebei Aoxing has been focusing on research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain management pharmaceutical products in China.  Its facility is dedicated to conducting the narcotic drug business with GMP manufacturing capability for drugs in tablet, capsule, injectable, oral solution and granulated formulations.  Over the years, the company has developed a compelling pipeline in narcotics and pain management drugs, including Naloxone, Oxycodone, Tilidine, Codeine Phosphate, Pholcodine, Buprenorphine, etc.

Naloxone Series.  As an opioid antagonist, Naloxone has curative effects for pain, shock, alcoholism, and cerebral infarction, widely applied in clinical treatment.  Naloxone or Naloxone Hydrochloride is recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) to treat acute alcoholism and acute poisoning of opioid and non-opioid drugs. The Company’s application for a license to develop facilities to manufacture Naloxone was approved by China’s SFDA in January 2005 followed by the final production approval of the Naloxone injectable.  We introduced the product to the market in February 2007.

Naloxone Hydrochloride was developed by the DuPont Company, and was introduced into the US market in the 1970’s. Since then it has been introduced into the additional markets of Britain, Germany, France and Italy.  The Beijing Academy of Military Medical Sciences first used Naloxone Hydrochloride as morphine antagonist in China to ease the indication of breath suppression and awakening after a morphine-based anesthesia.

Oxycodone Series.  Oxycodone is a derivative of the semi-synthetic opioid, alkaloid thebaine. Its pharmacological properties are similar to those of morphine. It is an agonist of the opioid receptor, and is able to relieve acute pain.

Based on the report of International Narcotics Control Board in 2009, Global manufacture of oxycodone rose gradually during the 1990s, amounting to 11.5 tons in 1998. Since 1999, the global manufacture of oxycodone has accelerated, reaching a record level of 94.9 tons in 2008. The United States accounted for 68.2 tons, or 72 per cent of the world total. The manufacture of oxycodone grew steadily in the United Kingdom and France, which each contributed 13 per cent (12.3 tons and 12.1 tons) of the world total. Other major manufacturing countries were Slovakia (1.2 tons) and Switzerland (606 kg). China is currently relying on imported oxycodone for the Chinese market.

Global consumption has also risen steadily, reflecting the increased use of controlled-release preparations containing oxycodone for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.  In 2005 and 2006, global consumption reached a level of 42.6 tons and, in 2008, it further increased, considerably, to 52.5 tons (700 million S-DDD), the highest level ever recorded. That was mainly a result of increased consumption in the United States, which continued to be the principal consumer country of oxycodone, accounting for 40.5 tons, or 77 per cent of the world total. Other major consumer countries in 2008 were Canada (4.5 tons), Germany (2 tons), Australia (1.3 tons) and the United Kingdom (902 kg), together accounting for 17 per cent of global consumption. Consumption of oxycodone has spread to more than 50 other countries, including developing countries. China only consumed 117kg of oxycodone in 2008.

Research and Development

We have established an in-house state-of-art facility which allows our multi-discipline team to conduct pharmaceutical research and development.  Our R&D team consists of chemists, biologists, pharmacologists and other technical experts.  It works on multiple projects, ranging from early stage discovery to advanced clinical studies.   Our team is capable of performing chemical synthesis, analytic analysis, pharmacology, toxicology as well as other technical tasks related to pharmaceutical industry.  During our fiscal year 2010, we directly invested $1,540,744 in R&D efforts.  Our R&D expenditures during fiscal 2009 and 2008 were $722,567 and $700,202, respectively.  In addition, we rely on arrangements with universities, our collaborators, contract research organizations and clinical research sites for a significant portion of our product development efforts.

The Market

Global consumption of opioid analgesics for the treatment of moderate to severe pain (expressed in defined daily doses for statistical purposes) increased by more than two and one half times during the past decade. However, the increase in consumption occurred mainly in countries in Europe and North America.  In 2006, for example, countries in those two regions together accounted for almost 96 per cent of global consumption of fentanyl, 89 per cent of global consumption of morphine and 97 per cent of global consumption of oxycodone.  In 2006, the United States accounted for 99 per cent of global consumption of hydrocodone and 80 per cent of global consumption of oxycodone. In the United States, the consumption of hydrocodone increased by 70 per cent and the consumption of oxycodone by 55 per cent during the past five years. Global consumption of methadone has increased more than three times over the past decade. Methadone is used in several countries for the treatment of pain, but the sharp upward trend in its consumption is mainly attributable to its growing use in maintenance treatment related to opioid dependency. In 2006, the countries using the largest quantities of methadone
were (in descending order) the United States, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Iran and Canada; those countries together accounted for 83 per cent of global consumption.

The low levels of consumption of opioid analgesics for the treatment of pain in many countries, in particular in developing countries, continue to be a matter of serious concern.  China entered the “Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961” in 1985, which resulted in the gradual loosening of government policy toward the control of analgesic supplies.  Before 2000, the average consumption of analgesics in China was less than 1% of the consumption in industrialized countries. There were only six varieties of analgesics available in production.  By 2005, Chinese government had approved the production of 11 varieties of analgesics.  In the near future, patients in China will find 30 varieties and over 80 specifications of different types of analgesics.

Employees

The Company currently has approximately 500 employees. There are 86 employees in administrative and management, 24 employees in the R&D department, 150 employees in the production, and 226 employees in sales and marketing.    Our Company has been expanding our direct sales and marketing force from approximately 30 employees as of April 2010 in order to provide additional direct sales force for new product launch and existing product detailing.

Item 1A.                    Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects are subject to the following risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently foreseeable to us may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in the shares of our common stock.  You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock.  If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the market value of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Our sales revenue remains small and mainly derived from a few products and a disruption in, or a compromise of, our manufacturing or sales operations, or distribution channels related to any of these products could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We booked our first product revenues in late 2006, and only reached a modest level of sales for the year ended June 30, 2010, mainly derived from a few products approved by the China SFDA.  We expect that these products will continue to account for a majority of our sales in the near future. Because of our dependence on a few products, any disruption in, or compromise of, our manufacturing operations, sales operations or distribution channels, relating to any of these products could result in our failure to meet shipping and delivery deadlines or meet quality standards, which in turn could result in the cancellation of purchase orders, refusal to accept deliveries or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We lack sufficient capital to fully carry out our business plan.
 
In order to make our operations cost-efficient, it is necessary that we expand our operations.  At the present time, however, our capital resources are sparse.  We are exploring various alternatives to improve our financial position and secure other sources of financing.  Such possibilities include a new credit facility, new equity raise, new arrangements to license intellectual property, the sales of selected property rights.   

Intense competition from existing and new companies may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
 
We compete with other companies, many of whom are developing, or can be expected to develop, products similar to ours. Some of our competitors are more established than we are, have greater brand recognition of products that compete with ours, have more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we presently possess and a larger customer base. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers or adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer side effects, are less expensive or have more attractive product characteristics than our current products or products that we may develop in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business.

Most of our pipeline products contain narcotic ingredients. As a result of reports of misuse or abuse of prescription narcotics, the sale of such drugs may be subject to new regulation, which may prove difficult or expensive to comply with, and we and other pharmaceutical companies may face lawsuits.
 
Most of our core pipeline products contain narcotic ingredients. Misuse or abuse of such drugs can lead to physical or other harm. For example, in the past two years, reportedly widespread misuse or abuse of OxyContin®, a product of Purdue Pharma L.P., or Purdue, containing the narcotic oxycodone, resulted in the strengthening of warnings on its labeling. In addition, we believe that Purdue, the manufacturer of OxyContin®, faces or did face numerous lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, related to OxyContin® misuse or abuse. We may be subject to litigation similar to the OxyContin® suits related to our generic version of oxycodone or any other narcotic containing product that we market.
 
The China SFDA and Department of Health may impose new regulations concerning the research and development, manufacture, storage, transportation and sale of prescription narcotics. Such regulations may include new labeling requirements, the development and implementation of formal risk minimization action plans, restrictions on prescription and sale of these products.  The Chinese government and its agencies could require companies to formulate risk evaluation and mitigation strategies to ensure a drug’s benefits outweigh its risks.  In addition, the government and its agencies have authority to regulate distribution and may modify their regulations with respect to prescription narcotics in an attempt to curb abuse. In either case, any such new regulations or requirements may be difficult and expensive for us to comply with, may delay our introduction of new products, may adversely affect our net sales and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on our key management personnel and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.
 
Our success depends in part on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management. We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers. The loss of services of any of these individuals or one or more other members of our senior management could delay or prevent the successful execution of our business objectives and could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Replacing key employees may be difficult and costly and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to develop and commercialize products successfully. We do not maintain “key person” insurance policies on the lives of these individuals or the lives of any of our other employees. The Company has entered into Employment Agreements with these individuals. We will need to hire additional personnel as we expand our commercial activities. We may not be able to attract or retain qualified management on acceptable terms in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel in our industry. If we are not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience constraints that will impede these objectives.

 
13

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete acquisitions or successfully integrate new businesses into our own.
 
We intend to pursue opportunities to grow our business by acquiring businesses, products and technologies that are complementary or related to our existing product lines. Successful completion of an acquisition depends on a number of factors that are not entirely within our control, including our ability to negotiate acceptable terms, conclude satisfactory agreements and obtain all necessary regulatory approvals. We may not be able to locate suitable acquisition candidates at prices that we consider appropriate. If we do identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may face competition from other companies interested in acquiring the target company that have greater financial and other resources than we have. Acquisitions of businesses, products, technologies or other material operations may require debt financing or additional equity financing, resulting in leverage or dilution of ownership.
 
Even if we complete one or more strategic transactions, we may be unable to integrate or coordinate successfully the personnel and operations of a business. Integration of acquired business operations could disrupt our business by diverting management away from day-to-day operations. The difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. We also may not be able to maintain key employees or customers of an acquired business or realize cost efficiencies or synergies or other benefits we anticipated when selecting our acquisition candidates. In addition, we may incur non-recurring severance expenses, restructuring charges and change of control payments and may need to record write-downs from future impairments of intangible assets, which could reduce our future reported earnings. At times, acquisition candidates may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition.
 
In addition to the above, acquisitions in China, including of state owned businesses, will be required to comply with laws of the PRC, to the extent applicable. There can be no assurance that any proposed acquisition will be able to comply with PRC requirements, rules and/or regulations, or that we will successfully obtain governmental approvals to the extent required, which may be necessary to consummate such acquisitions.

If we fail to manage our growth and current operations, we may not achieve future growth or our expected revenues.
 
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our manufacturing and marketing operations. To this end, we are and expect to continue to substantially increase our employee headcount which will place a significant strain on our management and on our operational, accounting, and information systems. Our need to manage our operations and growth effectively requires us to continue to expend funds to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, management information systems, reporting systems and procedures to manage our increased operations. If we are unable to implement improvements to our management information and control systems successfully in an efficient or timely manner, or if we encounter deficiencies in our existing systems and controls, then management may receive inadequate information to manage our day-to-day operations. We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.

 
14

 
 
We may be unable to secure the government licenses that are necessary for us to engage in the sale of analgesic pharmaceuticals.
 
The manufacture and marketing of narcotic drugs is highly regulated in China.  Prior to marketing any of our products, we are required to satisfy several government protocols, and receive several licenses from the national and local governments.  Obtaining these licenses can be expensive and it is usually time consuming.  If we are unable to obtain the necessary licenses when we need to have them, our business plan will be delayed.  If the delays prevent us from generating positive cash flow or introducing a significant number of products, our business may fail.
 
We may have difficulty defending our intellectual property rights from infringement which may undermine our competitive position.
 
We have been designing and developing new technology. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secret laws, and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of our technology could damage our ability to compete effectively.  We regard our service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark, patent and trade secret law, as well as confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary rights. Certain of our products have received trademark and patent protection in China. No assurance can be given that such patents and licenses will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that such intellectual property rights will provide a competitive advantage to us. Our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. Policing the unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of such potential litigation may not be in our favor and any success in litigation may not be able to adequately protect our rights. Such litigation may be costly and divert management attention away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation would impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. Enforcement of judgments in China is uncertain and even if we are successful in such litigation it may not provide us with an effective remedy. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to recover them from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses from third-parties that we may need to conduct our business or that such licenses can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
 
In addition, third parties may file infringement claims against us asserting that we are infringing on their patents or trademarks. In the event that such claims are filed, regardless of the merit of such a claim, we may incur substantial costs and diversion of management as a result of our involvement in such proceedings.

 
15

 

We are dependent on third parties to supply all raw materials used in our products and to provide services for certain core aspects of our business. Any interruption or failure by these suppliers, distributors and collaboration partners to meet their obligations pursuant to various agreements with us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We rely on third parties to supply all raw materials used in our products. In addition, we rely on third party suppliers, distributors and collaboration partners to provide services for certain core aspects of our business, including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, customer service support, medical affairs services, clinical studies, sales and other technical and financial services. All third party suppliers and contractors are subject to the China SFDA, and government agency requirements. Our business and financial viability are dependent on the regulatory compliance of these third parties, and on the strength, validity and terms of our various contracts with these third party manufacturers, distributors and collaboration partners. Any interruption or failure by these suppliers, distributors and collaboration partners to meet their obligations pursuant to various agreements with us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are dependent upon third parties to provide us with various estimates as a basis for our financial reporting. While we undertake certain procedures to review the reasonability of this information, we cannot obtain absolute assurance over the accounting methods and controls over the information provided to us by third parties. As a result we are at risk of them providing us with erroneous data which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

The government limits the availability of the active ingredients used in many of our current products and products in development and, as a result, our procurement quota may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials.
 
The Chinese government and SFDA regulate the access and supplies of chemical compounds in some of our current products and products in development, including oxycodone, codeine, buprenorphine, Tilidine. Consequently, their manufacture, shipment, storage, sale and use are subject to a high degree of regulation.
 
Furthermore, the government limits the availability of the active ingredients used in many of our current products and products in development and, as a result, our procurement quota of these active ingredients may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. We must annually apply to the government agencies for procurement quota in order to obtain these substances. Any delay or refusal by the agencies in establishing our procurement quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials, product launches or could cause trade inventory disruptions for those products that have already been launched, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Timing and results of clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of products as well as the SFDA’s approval of products are uncertain.
 
Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the sale of our products, , we must demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials that the product is safe and effective for each intended use. Preclinical and clinical studies may fail to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a product. A failure to demonstrate safety and efficacy would result in our failure to obtain regulatory approvals.

 
16

 
 
The rate of patient enrollment sometimes delays completion of clinical studies. There is substantial competition to enroll patients in clinical, and such competition has delayed clinical development of our products in the past. Delays in planned patient enrollment can result in increased development costs and delays in regulatory approval. In addition, we rely on collaboration partners that may control or make changes in trial protocol and design enhancements that may also delay clinical trials. We cannot assure you that we will not experience delays or undesired results in these or any other of our clinical trials.
 
We cannot assure you that the SFDA or other regulatory agencies will approve any products developed by us, on a timely basis, if at all, or, if granted, that such approval will not subject the marketing of our products to certain limits on indicated use. Any limitation on use imposed by the SFDA or delay in or failure to obtain SFDA approvals of products developed by us would adversely affect the marketing of these products and our ability to generate product revenue, as well as adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
Before obtaining regulatory approvals for certain generic products, we must conduct limited clinical or other trials to show comparability to the branded products. A failure to obtain satisfactory results in these trials would prevent us from obtaining required regulatory approvals.

We do not have adequate product liability insurance and we could be exposed to substantial liability.
 
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in adverse side effects. Adverse side effects, marketing or manufacturing problems pertaining to any of our products could result in:
 
 
decreased demand for our products;
 
 
adverse publicity resulting in injury to our reputation;
 
 
product liability claims and significant litigation costs;
 
 
substantial monetary awards to or costly settlements with consumers;
 
 
product recalls;
 
 
loss of revenues; or
 
 
the inability to commercialize future products.
 
These risks will exist for those products in clinical development and with respect to those products that have received regulatory approval for commercial sale or any product we may acquire. To date, we have not experienced any product liability claims. However, that does not mean that we will not have any such claims with respect to our products in the future. We do not carry product liability insurance. The lack of product liability insurance exposes us to risks associated with potential product liability claims, which can be significant.

 
17

 

Our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and international regulations.
 
We need to comply with a number of international regulations in countries outside of the United States. In addition, we must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which prohibits U.S. companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage. Any failure by us to adopt appropriate compliance procedures and ensure that our employees and agents comply with the FCPA and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial penalties or restrictions on our ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control, or OFAC, administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, entities and individuals based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. As a result, we are restricted from entering into transactions with certain targeted foreign countries, entities and individuals except as permitted by OFAC which may reduce our future growth.
 
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley, and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors, on committees of our board of directors or as executive officers.
 
As a public company, we are required to comply with rules and regulations of the SEC, including expanded disclosure, accelerated reporting requirements and more complex accounting rules.  This will continue to require additional cost management resources. We will need to continue to implement additional finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls as we grow to satisfy these reporting requirements. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical knowledge, and we cannot assure you that if additional staffing is necessary that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion. If we are unable to complete the required annual assessment as to the adequacy of our internal reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in the future, we could incur significant costs to become compliant.
 
We continuously evaluate and monitor developments with respect to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and other applicable rules, however, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 
18

 
 
There could be changes in government regulations in China toward the pharmaceutical industries that may adversely affect our business.
 
The manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products in China is heavily regulated by many state, provincial and local authorities. These regulations significantly increase the difficulty and costs involved in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for marketing new and existing products. Our future growth and profitability depend to a large extent on our ability to obtain regulatory approvals. Additionally, the law could change so as to prohibit the use of certain pharmaceuticals. If one of our products becomes prohibited, this change would cease the productivity of that product. The China National Development and Reform Commission, or CNDRC, has recently implemented price adjustments on many marketed pharmaceutical products. We have no control over such governmental policies, which may impact the pricing and profitability of our products.
 
The State Food and Drug Administration of China requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to obtain Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, certifications. We have received our certifications. However, should we fail to receive or maintain the GMP certifications in the future, we would no longer be able to manufacture pharmaceuticals in China, and our businesses would be materially and adversely affected.   Moreover, the laws and regulations regarding acquisitions in the pharmaceutical industry in China may change, which could significantly impact our ability to grow through acquisitions.
 
Certain political and economic considerations relating to China could adversely affect our company.
 
China is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the Chinese economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in China’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations, or the official interpretation thereof, which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.
 
Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

 
19

 
 
The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, which creates uncertainty about our ability to bring new products to market and imposes substantial compliance costs on our business.
 
The China SFDA as well as Department of Health impose substantial requirements on the development, manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, promotion and introduction of therapeutic narcotic pharmaceutical products through lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing and other costly and time-consuming procedures. The submission of a drug application alone does not guarantee that the SFDA will grant approval to market the product.  Satisfaction of SFDA requirements typically takes a number of years, varies substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the pharmaceutical product and is subject to uncertainty. The drug approval process varies in time, could take several years from the date of application. The timing for the approval process is difficult to estimate and can vary significantly.
 
The current SFDA standards of approving pharmaceutical products are more stringent than those that were applied in the past. These standards were not applied to many established products currently on the market, including certain narcotics products. We cannot assure you that the SFDA or other regulatory agencies will approve any products developed by us, on a timely basis, if at all, or, if granted, that approval will not entail limiting the indicated uses for which we may market the product, which could limit the potential market for any of these products.
 
The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to us create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.
 
The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in China and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.
 
Currency conversion and exchange rate volatility could adversely affect our financial condition and the value of our common stock.
 
The PRC government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi, or RMB, into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People’s Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the PBOC exchange rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market conditions.
 
Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC which came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises, or FIEs, for use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such foreign exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in China. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers under current account items.

 
20

 
 
Enterprises in China, including FIEs, which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, if within a certain limited amount may, without approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks by providing valid receipts and proofs.
 
Convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions, and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be sought.
 
Between 1994 and 2004, the exchange rate for RMB against the U.S. dollar remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately RMB8.28 to US$1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that it would begin pegging the exchange rate of the RMB against a number of currencies, rather than just the U.S. dollar. As our operations are primarily in China, any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, financial condition and the value of our common stock. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operations, appreciation of this currency against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our common stock. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

Most of our assets are located in China, any dividends or proceeds from liquidation are subject to the approval of the relevant Chinese government agencies.
 
Our assets are predominantly located inside China. Under the laws governing FIEs in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject to both the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as well the foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case of dividend payment or liquidation.
 
There have been recent incidents in which patients have experienced severe adverse reactions following the use of pharmaceutical products manufactured in China.
 
There have been recent incidents reported in the Chinese media of a significant number of patients experiencing severe adverse health consequences following their use of pharmaceutical products manufactured by certain pharmaceutical companies in China. A number of patients have become ill and a number of fatalities have been reported. For example, several deaths were caused by drugs sold by the Second Pharmaceutical Factory of Qiqihaer, a Chinese drug manufacturer, in May 2006. Concerns over the safety of pharmaceutical products manufactured in China could have an adverse effect on the sale of such products, including products manufactured by us. If in the future we become involved in incidents of the type described above, such problems could severely and adversely impact our product sales and reputation.
 
21

 
 
Anti-corruption measures taken by the government to correct corruptive practices in the pharmaceutical industry could adversely affect our sales and reputation.
 
The government has recently taken anti-corruption measures to correct corrupt practices. In the pharmaceutical industry, such practices include, among others, acceptance of kickbacks, bribery or other illegal gains or benefits by the hospitals and medical practitioners from pharmaceutical distributors in connection with the prescription of a certain drug. Substantially all of our sales to our ultimate customers are conducted through third-party distributors. We have no control over our third-party distributors, who may engage in corrupt practices to promote our products. While we maintain strict anti-corruption policies applicable to our internal sales force and third-party distributors, these policies may not be effective. If any of our third-party distributors engage in such practices and the government takes enforcement action, our products may be seized and our own practices, and involvement in the distributors’ practices may be investigated. If this occurs, our sales and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.

We may never pay any dividends to our stockholders.
 
We have not paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. Our board of directors does not intend to distribute dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends, if any, will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
 
Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United States.
 
The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to fund our business activities outside China or to pay dividends to our shareholders.

 
22

 

Our business development would be hindered if we lost the services of our Chairman.
 
Zhenjiang Yue is the Chief Executive Officer of Aoxing Pharma and of its operating subsidiary, Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Group.  Mr. Yue is responsible for strategizing not only our business plan but also the means of financing it.  If Mr. Yue were to leave Hebei Aoxing or become unable to fulfill his responsibilities, our business would be imperiled.  At the very least, there would be a delay in the development of Hebei Aoxing until a suitable replacement for Mr. Yue could be retained.
   
Item 1B.                      Unresolved Staff Comments

Not Applicable.

Item 2.                       Properties

Item 7.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010 were $6,115,774.  This represented a 32% decline from the revenues of $8,941,907 that we realized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.   The decrease in revenue occurred because we relocated and consolidated our manufacturing facilities in the summer of 2009.  This necessitated GMP re-certification by the Chinese government for each of our products before we could re-commence production.  For a large part of the year, therefore, we produced only the limited number of products for which we had obtained recertification.  The primary revenue contributors were Zhongtongan, Shuanghuanlian capsules and Naloxone Hydrochloride injectable, representing 73%, 9% and 6% of the total sales for the year ended June 30, 2010.  In addition we were selling other prescription and over-the-counter drugs approved by the China SFDA.

The positive result from the re-certification delay was that Zhongtongan, our proprietary dental pain product that provided most of our revenue, was our highest margin product.  As a result, our cost of goods for the year ended June 30, 2010 decreased by 54% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2009.  Despite the 32% decline in revenue, therefore, we maintained our gross profit level, as our gross margin soared from 43% in fiscal 2009 to 62% in fiscal 2010.  As our other products resume a more significant role in our sales, our gross margin could be lower again.  However, the consolidation of facilities has increased our overall production efficiency, which should enable us to achieve margins higher than those achieved in 2009 and before.

Our general and administrative expenses were $3,588,538 in fiscal year 2010, similar to $3,474,778 in fiscal year 2009.  Among the significant contributors to general and administrative expense were the following:

 
·
In fiscal year 2010 we incurred compensation expense of $1,294,983, which was 9.6% higher than the $1,181,362 in compensation expense incurred in fiscal  2009.  The increase was mainly driven by our recent expansion of our sales and marketing team from approximately 30 employees to 220 employees as of June 30, 2010.    At the same time, however, we have reduced our non-cash expenses for stock compensation:  in fiscal year 2008 we incurred a $1,695,898 expense for stock issued for services and interest; in fiscal 2009 we reduced that expense to $1,000,506 and in fiscal 2010 we further reduced our stock compensation expense to $603,697.   

 
26

 

 
·
In fiscal year 2010 we incurred professional fees totaling $489,613, a 57% increase from the $311,347 incurred in fiscal year 2009.  The increase reflects additional services required during our recent business expansion in the area of legal, accounting, investor relations, and other professional services.

 
·
In fiscal 2010 the Company incurred office related expenses in the amount of $1,803,936, a 26% reduction from the $2,440,294 expense incurred in the prior year.  The decrease was the result of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.
 
Among our other operating expenses, the following factors had significant effects on our year-to-year comparison:

 
·
Research and development expenses were $1,540,744 for the year ended June 30, 2010, 113% higher than $722,567 for the year ended June 30, 2009, as we increased our capital investment in 2010 to advance our clinical programs, including Tilidine, Codeine phosphate and other pipeline products.  We expect research and development expenses will continue to represent a large portion of our budget, as we endeavor to move our products to market as rapidly as science and our resources permit.

 
·
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased only modestly, from $670,059 in Fiscal 2009 to $645,004 in Fiscal 2010.

 
·
As a result of our periodic review and continuous efforts to collect our accounts receivable, we increased our bad debt reserve at June 30, 2010. We sell our products to both distributors and retailers, and the payment terms range from 30 days to 90 days from invoice date or receipt of goods, whichever is late. We evaluate collectability of our accounts receivable periodically and provide a bad debt reserve based on their aging and the results of our collection action.  As of June 30, 2010, we performed an aging analysis of each customer, determined that some of the balances were not collectable, and made an additional provision for bad debt. The revaluation led us to record a bad debt expense of $216,440 during fiscal year 2010.  In fiscal year 2009, our bad debt expense was $1,461,789.  
 
 
·
Selling expenses remained flat from year to year, totaling $1,367,997 in 2010, which was 7.6% lower than our $1,480,118 selling expense in 2009.  Our selling expenses did not decrease in proportion to the drop  in our product sales because of our expansion efforts in sales and marketing.  We expect oursales and marketing expense to increase as additional products are expected to be approved by the China SFDA and enterthe market over the next two years.
 
 
·
In fiscal year 2009 we incurred an impairment loss of $2,345,420 as a result of our revaluation of some of the assets acquired in our purchase of LRT.  We experienced no impairment loss in fiscal 2010.
 
 
27

 
 
As a result of these expenses, our loss from operations for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $3,584,138, which was 44% less than the operating loss of $6,348,485 that we incurred in fiscal year 2009.

The company incurred interest expenses in the amount of $2,427,674 in 2010, which was 26% higher than our interest expenses of $1,919,143 in 2009.  The increase was primarily attributable to the bridge loan with high interest rate that we obtained  during the period when we were restructuring our Bank of China loan.  That bridge loan was mostly paid off by June 30, 2010.  The positive result of the restructuring process was that  we received forgiveness of debt in the amount of $3,648,616 as a result of the restructuring of the Bank of China loan in October 2009.  During fiscal 2009 we had obtained a forgiveness of debt in the amount of $1,461,299.  We anticipate interest expense to decrease in the coming years as the Company is undertaking capital restructuring and improving its balance sheet and liquidity.

In 2006 and 2007, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with a private financing.  The warrants permit the investors to buy additional common shares at the prices specified in the warrant agreements.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the fair value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability on our balance sheet.  At the end of each quarter, we re-calculate the fair value of the warrants by Black-Scholes model, and record any increase or decrease in that fair value as other income or other expense.   During fiscal 2010, the change in the fair value of warrants was $1,455,368, which was recognized as other income for the year ended June 30, 2010.  If in future quarters the warrants decrease in value (e.g. by reason of an increase in the market price of our common stock), we will record an other income equal to the amount of the increase.

After including these items of “Other Income,” we realized a net loss before income taxes of $907,829 for fiscal year 2010.  In fiscal year 2009, we realized a net loss before taxes of $5,976,109.   After recording the future tax benefit that the net loss will provide us and accounting for the portion of the net loss attributable to the minority interest in Hebei Aoxing, we realized a net loss of $844,771 in fiscal 2010.  Our net loss in fiscal 2009 was $2,695,050.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

During fiscal year 2010, the Company made significant improvement in its liquidity and capital resources by securing new capital and restructuring existing bank debts and convertible notes.  We initiated this improvement on August 6, 2009, when the Company completed a private placement with a total of fifteen institutional and other accredited investors of 2,631,579 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.90 per share, for gross proceeds of $5 million.  We continued the improvement to our balance sheet in the fall of 2009 by retiring our Bank of China loan on Oct 1, 2009, which had totaled $4,288,782 after the Bank forgave $3,648,616 of the principal due.

 
28

 

In the spring of 2010 we further improved our balance sheet by replacing a high interest bridge loan with new bank loans in the total amount of $8,078,019, which carry a favorable interest rate of 5.841%.  The three new loans are:
 
 
·
a credit facility agreement with China Citic Bank in the amount of $4,754,173 (32,500,000 RMB)  that matures on April 28, 2011.

 
·
a bank note agreement with Bank of Communications of China in the amount of $4,388,467 (30,000,000 RMB).   The note is secured by the land use right and buildings on the land, and matures on April 22, 2011.

 
·
a bank note agreement with China Citic Bank in the amount of $3,657,956 (25,000,000 RMB).   The note is secured by the land use right and buildings on the land, and matures on May 4, 2011.

As a result of the several debt refinancing during fiscal 2010, our debt service obligations at June 30, 2010 were:

 Our cash balance at June 30, 2010 was $3,985,710, compared to $1,271,922 at June 30, 2009.  The modest improvement was driven by a private placement on August 6, 2009 for gross proceeds of $5 million.

Our working capital situation continued to improve in year 2010, as our working capital deficit at June 30, 2010 was $4,635,487, representing an improvement of $12,892,526 from our working capital position at June 30, 2009.   The improvement was mainly driven by the receipt of forgiveness of debts and the restructuring of the Bank of China loan.

Our operations during the year ended June 30, 2010 used$3,941,333 in cash, compared to $642,598 cash consumed in 2009.  This change primarily reflected our increased investment in research and development, increased interest expense, and increased accounts receivable, and a $1,026,653 increase in our inventory in anticipation of future business expansion.

Our ongoing expansion of operations led us to improve our manufacturing facility by acquiring new machinery and equipment for $1,996,018 during the year ended June 30, 2010. This use of cash was offset in part by receipt of $954,675 in proceeds from the sale of our LRT facility.

We continue to explore various alternatives in order to secure sources of financing and improve our financial position.  Among the possibilities being considered are new credit facilities, a new equity raise, arrangements to license intellectual property, and a sale of selected property rights.  At the present time we have no commitment from any source for additional funds.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
 
In preparing our financial statements we are required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values.  In our preparation of the financial statements for fiscal year 2010, there were two estimates made which were (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty and (b) material to our results.  These were:
 
 
·
the determination, described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, to record an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $2,575,117.  The determination was based on our review of the credit history of the relevant customers and the results of our collection efforts.
 
 
·
The calculation, described in Notes 2 and 11 to the Financial Statements, of the implicit value of our outstanding warrants and derivative liabilities.  The determination was based on comparison with market-valued derivative instruments.
 
We made no material changes to our critical accounting policies in connection with the preparation of financial statements for fiscal year 2010.
 
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
 
New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact the comparability of our financial statements.  

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Level 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2011); early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2010-06 on its financial statements.
     
In February 2010, FASB issued new standards in ASC 855, Subsequent Event. This amendment removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP. All of the amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
        
However, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on our financial statements.
 
 
30

 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors
Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AOXING PHARMACEUTICAL CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
 
 
 
1             BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND ACQUISITION
 
Business description
 
Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“the Company” or “Aoxing Pharma”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotics and pain-management products. In March 2010, the Company changed to its current name from “China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.”

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had one operating subsidiary: Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“Hebei”)which is organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).  As of June 30, 2010 the Company owned 95% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hebei.

Since 2002, Hebei has been engaged in developing narcotics and pain management products, building its facilities and obtaining the requisite licenses from the Chinese Government.  Headquartered in Shijiazhuang City, the pharmaceutical capital of China, outside of Beijing, During the year ended June 30, 2009, Hebei integrated into itself the business operations of Shijazhuang Lerentang Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“LRT”), which had been an operating subsidiary acquired by Hebei in May 2008.  Hebei now has China's largest and the most advanced manufacturing facility for highly regulated narcotic medicines, addressing a very under-served and fast-growing market in China. Its facility is one of the few GMP facilities licensed for manufacturing narcotics medicines. The Company is working closely with the Chinese government and SFDA to assure the strictly regulated availability to medical professionals throughout China of its narcotic drugs and pain medicines.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD).

Certain amounts included in the 2009 financial statement have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation.

 
F-6

 

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of the carrying amount and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable, realizable values for inventories, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, purchase price allocation of its acquisitions and share-based compensation expenses. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions in the PRC which are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of these institutions holding the Company’s cash become insolvent, or if the Company is unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that institution.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables represent customer accounts receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of current sales, historical charge-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all reasonable efforts to collect the amounts due have been exhausted. Such allowances, if any, would be recorded in the period the impairment is identified.   The balances of allowance for doubtful accounts are $2,575,177 and $2,345,826 for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the weighted average cost method, and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose.
 
Advances to Suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material and equipment. The advances to suppliers are interest free.

 
F-7

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the related assets over their useful lives using the straight line method for financial reporting purposes.

Hebei Aoxing leases a parcel of land on which its offices and production facilities are situated pursuant to real estate contracts from the local government of the PRC expiring in 2053.

 
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred.  Replacements and major renewals are capitalized.

 
Other Intangible Assets

 
Other intangibles include products and product rights, which are recorded at fair value and assigned an estimated useful life, are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 10 to 15 years. When events or circumstances warrant a review, the Company will assess recoverability from future operations of acquired intangibles using pretax undiscounted cash flows derived from the lowest appropriate asset groupings. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value,

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets of business purchased.  Goodwill is assigned to reporting units and evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, and no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied and recorded as advances from customers.

Research and Development

Research and development is expensed as incurred.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.  The Company’s policy is to recognized compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Impairment of long lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value.  If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.  Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable.  Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

 
F-8

 

Deferred income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  In addition, the recognition of future tax benefits, such as carry-forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Currency translation

Since the Company operates primarily in the PRC, the Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (”RMB”).  Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rates during the period, and balance sheet items are translated at year-end rates.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in current operations.

The 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.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other sundry current liabilities, notes payable and related party advances and borrowings.

As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet.  This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at the respective balance sheet dates.

 
F-9

 

Derivative financial instruments

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the convertible debentures and warrants (see Notes 10 and 11).  The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date.  If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge.  If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.

During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized other income of approximately $1,455,368 and $627,000, respectively, relating to recording the warrant and derivative liabilities at fair value.  At June 30, 2010 and 2009 there were approximately $1,913,533 and $3,368,901 of warrant and derivative liabilities, as the related debt instruments were not settled.

The Company’s derivative instruments were valued using the black-scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions during the year ended June 30, 2010:

Estimated dividends
None
Expected volatility
55.5%
Risk-free interest rate
0.16 – 0.31%
Expected term (years)
0 – 1.21
 
The expected volatility was determined based on the historic quoted market price of the common stock over the last 6 months.  Risk free interest rate in the range of 0.16% to 0.31% was determined based on the quoted US treasury rate under the same expected term with each corresponding financial instrument.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders.  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.  Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as warrants and convertible preferred stock) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

 
F-10

 

Statement of cash flows

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Segment reporting

“Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.  SFAS 131 has an immaterial effect on the Company’s financial statements, as the Company consists of one reportable business segment.  All revenue is from customers in the PRC.  The majority of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, FASB issued new guidance establishing general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, or subsequent events. An entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, FASB established Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted the new guidance for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which changed the way we reference accounting standards in our disclosures. Adoption of the Codification has not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In August 2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide additional guidance on estimating the fair value of a liability in a hypothetical transaction where the liability is transferred to a market participant. The standard is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
On September 28, 2006, the Company sold 869,500 units of securities for $1,739,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and four common stock purchase warrants exercisable at prices ranging from $5.00 to $11.00. In October 2006, the Company exchanged all of the shares of common stock purchased in this offering for a 10% convertible debenture in the amount of the investment, plus the four warrants purchased in the offering. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a price equal to 75% of the market price (as defined) of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable for five years and may be redeemed by the Company if the market price of its common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants.
 
On November 30, 2006, the Company sold 188,500 units of securities for $377,000.  Each unit consists of a share of common stock or 10% convertible debenture and four common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at prices ranging from $5.00 to $11.00.  The warrants are exercisable for five years and may be redeemed by the Company if the market price of its common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants.  These convertible debentures may be converted at any time by the holder of the note and will be automatically converted into the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2008.
 
All above mentioned 10% convertible debenture were converted to common stock as of June 30, 2009.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold $1,173,000 of convertible debentures, which bear interest at 8% per annum, are payable semi-annually and were due May 1, 2010.  Interest accrue on the principal amount at 8% per annum and be payable on January 1st and July 1st each year.  The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the greater of (a) $10.00, or (b) 75% of the average of the closing bid prices reported for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. Prior to June, 2010, the Company satisfied all of the $1,173,000 in convertible debentures.

11           WARRANTS

In 2006 the Company issued the Series A, B, C and D Warrants in connection with issuance of 10% convertible debentures.  The terms of the Series A, B, C and D Warrants require that whenever the Company issues common stock for a price less than $4.00 per share, an equitable adjustment to the exercise price be made in order to prevent dilution of the equity interests of the warrant holders.  As a result of the private placement and loan conversion transactions in August 2009, the exercise price of the Series A, B, C and D Warrants was reduced, and accordingly, the number of shares that a warrant-holder may purchase was increased based on the terms of the warrants, effective on August 27, 2009. These warrants were issued in September 2006, are exercisable for five years and may be redeemed by the Company if the market price of its common stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants.  

FASB ASC 815-10 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting.  The fair value of embedded derivatives in connection with these warrants needs to be estimated. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  The change of exercise price along with number of shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants would cause a change in the fair value of the warrants.  Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date.  If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge.  If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.

The following table summarizes the information relating to the revised exercise price and the number of shares that a warrant-holder may purchase in connection with the sales of convertible debentures referred in Note 10 above.  The following table is illustrated based on the share account post 1:2 reverse split which took place in March 2010:

15           VULNERABILITY DUE TO OPERATIONS IN PRC

The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.  Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRCs political, economic and social conditions.  There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

Substantially all of the Company’s businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible.  The Peoples Bank of China or other banks are authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the Peoples Bank of China.  Approval of foreign currency payments by the Peoples Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

Since the Company has its primary operations in the PRC, the majority of its revenues will be settled in RMB, not U.S. Dollars. Due to certain restrictions on currency exchanges that exist in the PRC, the Company’s ability to use revenue generated in RMB to pay any dividend payments to its shareholders outside of China may be limited.

The Company’s business depends on maintaining licenses of its current products from the China State Food and Drug Administration.  Obtaining licenses for additional products can be expensive and is usually time consuming.  Failure to obtain the necessary licenses when needed can cause the Company’s business plan to be delayed.  If the delays prevent the Company from generating positive cash flow or introducing a significant number of products, there will be a material adverse effect on the Company.

In September 2006, PRC changed the laws regarding transfer of equity in PRC companies in exchange for equity in non-PRC companies.  Approvals and registrations for such transfers are required and penalties may be imposed if the requirements are not met.


Other Risks

The core business of the Company is the manufacture and sale of narcotic drugs, which is highly regulated by the PRC government.  The Company depends on obtaining licenses of its products from the China State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).  Obtaining these licenses can be expensive and is usually time consuming.  Failure to obtain the necessary licenses when needed can cause the Company’s business plan to be delayed.  If the delays prevent the Company from generating positive cash flow or introducing a significant number of products, there will be a material adverse effect on the Company.
 

16           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commercial commitments

On April 26, 2010, Aoxing Pharma and Johnson Matthey Plc entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture focused on research, development, manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API') for narcotics and neurological drugs for the China market. The joint venture represents a significant new opportunity for both companies to expand their business in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical market in China.  Under the terms of the agreement, Macfarlan Smith Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Plc, headquartered in the United Kingdom, will contribute technology expertise and capital to the joint venture. Hebei Aoxing, the operating subsidiary of Aoxing Pharma, will contribute capital, fixed assets and related API manufacturing licenses. The joint venture company is called Hebei Aoxing API Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd.  Hebei Aoxing has a 51% stake in the Company, while Macfarlan Smith (Hong Kong) Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Pacific Ltd) holds 49%. Each company have equal representation on a board of directors that will oversee a management team responsible for corporate strategies and operations.  The new joint venture will be located on the Hebei Aoxing campus in Xinle City, 200 kilometers southwest of Beijing. The total capital investment is projected to be approximately $15 million during the first five years, which will be shared between the equity shareholders of the joint venture.

Financial obligations

The auditors report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009 contained an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern due to our current liabilities exceeded tangible current assets, we were in default of the repayment of bank debt, and we sustained a loss from operations for the year then ended. During the year ended June 30, 2010 we were able to alleviate the going concern doubt by raising additional equity capital of $5,000,000, renegotiating the bank loans, securing additional financing, and securing a line of credit of approximately $4,700,000, which to this date has not been utilized and is available to meet future cash flow needs.

We continue to explore various alternatives in order to secure sources of financing and improve our financial position.  Among the possibilities being considered are new credit facilities, a new equity raise, conversion of debt liabilities to equities, arrangements to license intellectual property, and a sale of selected property rights.

(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Zhenjiang Yue, our Chief Executive Officer, and Hui Shao, our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of Aoxing Pharma’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010.  Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by Aoxing Pharma in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commission’s rules.  “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information Aoxing Pharma is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on their evaluation, Mr. Yue and Mr Shao concluded that Aoxing Pharma’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of June 30, 2010 for the purposes described in this paragraph.

(b)           Changes in Internal Controls.  There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of June 30, 2010, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
 
Because of 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 and 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.
 
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2010.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
