Note 1 –
Organization and Nature of Business

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (Formerly Viscorp, Inc.) was established under the laws of Delaware on August 20, 2002. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “TPI”). The Company’s primary business is to research, manufacture, and sell pharmaceutical products.

On January 16, 2008, Viscorp Inc. (“Viscorp”) completed a reverse acquisition of Raygere Limited (“Raygere”), which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 26, 2007. To accomplish the exchange of shares, Viscorp issued 12,790,800 shares of common stock on a one-to-one ratio for a 100% equity interest in Raygere, per the terms of the Share Exchange and Bill of Sale of assets of Viscorp and Charles Driscoll. Viscorp was delivered with zero assets and zero liabilities at time of closing. Following the reverse acquisition, Viscorp changed the name to Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby Raygere was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders retained control of TPI after the exchange. Although the Company is the legal parent company, the share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of Raygere. Thus, Raygere is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements have been prepared as if Raygere had always been the reporting company and then on the share exchange date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

In September 2007, Raygere acquired 100% interest in Grandway Groups Holdings Ltd. (“Grandway”), which was incorporated on May 25, 2007, in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On October 30, 2007, Grandway acquired 100% equity interest in Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Chengdu Tianyin”), which was incorporated on April 1, 1994 in the city of Chengdu, the People’s Republic of China. As a result of the acquisition, Chengdu Tianyin became the wholly owned subsidiary of Grandway and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Raygere. The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby Chengdu Tianyin was considered to be the accounting acquirer as both Grandway and Raygere were holding companies with no significant operations and Chengdu Tianyin continues as the primary operating entity after the exchange, although Raygere is the legal parent company. As such, Chengdu Tianyin (and its historical financial statements) is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. The consolidated financial statements reflect all predecessor statements of income and cash flow activities from the inception of TPI in July 2007.

In June 2009, Chengdu Tianyin invested $723,500 to establish a wholly-owned trading subsidiary, Chengdu Tianyin Medicine Trading Co., Ltd (“TMT”) for sales and distribution of medicine produced by Chengdu Tianyin as well as other pharmaceuticals. As of September 30, 2011, the financial results of TMT are consolidated into the consolidated financial statements presented herein.

On August 21, 2009, Sichuan Jiangchuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Jiangchuan” or “JCM”) was established by Chengdu Tianyin, Sichuan Mingxin Pharmaceutical and an individual investor with active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) production as its major business. Total registered capital of JCM is approximately $2.9 million, of which Chengdu Tianyin accounted for 77%.

Note 2 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TPI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from September 30, 2011 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.

Interim Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as not all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements are presented. The interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Trade accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s periodic review of aging of outstanding balances and customer credit history. Based on its assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, the management makes conclusions whether any balances outstanding as of September 30, 2011 was deemed uncollectible. As such, the Company reserved 1% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding less than one year, 50% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding between one year and two years, and 100% of receivable balances that have been outstanding more than two years.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and other financial instruments associated with the issuance of the common stock.  The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s bank borrowings under its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market rates.
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008.  SFAS 157 has been codified as ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements.”  ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
 
 
6

 
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Note 3 –
Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less allowance for doubtful receivables based on management’s periodic review of aging of outstanding balances and customer credit history. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $140,228 and $421,079 as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Risk Factors

The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company's business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

Note 14 –
Earnings Per Share

The Company presents earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net earnings plus convertible preferred dividends and interest expense (after-tax) on convertible debt by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of equity securities. The weighted average number of common shares calculated for Diluted EPS excludes the potential common stock that would be exercised under the options and warrants granted to officers because the inclusion of the potential shares from these options and warrants would cause an antidilutive effect by increasing the net earnings per share.

Item 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the financial statements of Tianyin Pharmaceutical for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes included in this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

The information set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are set forth below.  Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of patented biopharmaceutical, modernized traditional Chinese medicines (TCM), branded generics and other pharmaceuticals in China. We currently manufacture and market a portfolio of 58 products, 24 of which are listed in the National Medical Reimbursement program, including the patent protected Ginkgo Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL) and a late stage pipeline of 10 drug candidates pending the SFDA’s approval. In addition, we have 6 trademarks granted and 16 trademarks pending.

Established in 1994, Chengdu Tianyin is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures and sells modernized TCMs and branded generics. The current management acquired 100% of the equity interest of Chengdu Tianyin in 2003. On October 30, 2007, Grandway completed the acquisition of the 100% of the equity interest and now owns 100% of the equity interest of Chengdu Tianyin.
 
In June 2009, Chengdu Tianyin invested $723,500 to establish a wholly-owned trading subsidiary, Chengdu Tianyin Medicine Trading Co., Ltd (“TMT”) for the sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products to optimize our business model through enhanced distribution channels.  

On August 21, 2009, Chengdu Tianyin, Sichuan Mingxin Pharmaceutical and an individual investor established Sichuan Jiangchuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“JCM”), whose major business is to produce macrolide active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Total registered capital of JCM is approximately $2.9 million, of which Chengdu Tianyin accounts for 77%. JCM is regarded as the foundation for a broader strategy to establish a significant presence in the macrolide antibiotics industry in China.
 
Competitive Environment

The market for pharmaceutical products is highly competitive. Our operations may be affected by technological advances by competitors, industry consolidation, patents granted to competitors, competitive combination products, new products offered by our competitors, as well as new information provided by other marketed products and/or other post-market studies.

Development and Growth Strategy

Research and Development (R&D)

The partnership-based R&D strategy supports TPI to commercialize, produce, and broaden our product pipeline and to market those products through our sales and marketing infrastructure.  Currently, we have 10 pipeline drugs with our partnership research institutes, of which we are entitled to the exclusive ownership and intellectual properties upon the SFDA approval.

New formulation development for Gingko Mihuan
 
In November 2011, we announced the formulation expansion program for our flagship product Gingko Mihuan Oral Liquid (GMOL, SFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225). GMOL, the proprietary prescription medicine for TPI, is used nationwide in China to treat brain ischemia and infarction, coronary heart diseases, memory dysfunction and other neurological disorders.

For our elderly patients who are also afflicted by with gastrointestinal ailments, our oral liquid formulation shows an efficient absorption rate after intake adding to its differentiation. The new capsule formulation is more convenient to carry while traveling, adding to its ease of use for those long term treatment users. Furthermore, the cost of production and packaging material prices for liquid formulation has been rising during the recent years and therefore, the capsule formulation will reduce the overall cost of sales by 70% while extending the expiration period to 3 years from the current 2 years for oral liquid form. The new capsule formulation is expected to support the revenue growth of GMOL at approximately 30% year over year and improve the gross margin of GMOL products to 75% or higher. TPI will also apply for patent protection for the new capsule formulation. The R&D cost associated with the capsule formulation is estimated at $1-2 million.

Jiangchuan Macrolide Project (JCM)
 
We completed the 240-ton JCM construction in September 2011 for the R&D, manufacturing and sale of API and chemical intermediates of macrolide antibiotics. Currently, JCM is under GMP certification following the internal quality assessment and the environmental safety and impact assessment.
 
Tianyin Medicine Trading Distribution Business (TMT)
 
We have been developing the distribution portfolio of TMT. TMT is planned to distribute products manufactured by both TPI and other pharmaceutical companies to fuel our expanding sales network as well as to provide synergy to our existing organic product portfolio. TMT has been distributing mainly Tianyin's own products since its inception in 2009. We have obtained one-year distribution rights from Jiangsu Lianshui Pharmaceutical (“Lianshui”) to distribute approximately 15 Lianshui-branded generic injection products including cough suppressant, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines and products for other healthcare indications. To date, TMT annual distribution revenue delivered approximately $23 million, exceeding our revenue forecast, mainly attributable to the fact that the distribution portfolio consists of a majority of Essential Drug Listed (EDL) medicine which experienced an increased volume of sales.
 
Pre-extraction and formulation plant development at Qionglai Facility (QLF)

In preparation for the new Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards stipulated by the PRC government in early 2011, that requires pharmaceutical companies to be in compliance by 2013, TPI initiated the process of optimizing the manufacturing facilities and production lines. Concurrently, the city of Chengdu has re-designated various industrial parks of nearby counties to be dedicated to particular industries such as automobile, biotechnologies, pharmaceuticals and chemical engineering for individual locations. As a consequence, TPI’s manufacturing facility at the Longquan district, east of Chengdu, which is designated for automotive industry, is scheduled to be relocated to Qionglai city, south of Chengdu, which is dedicated to pharmaceutical industry. The Qionglai facility (QLF) is approximately 18 miles from the Company’s recently completed Jiangchuan macrolide facility (JCM) which is also located in south of Chengdu. The proposed relocation project also includes our traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pre-extraction plant which is located near the center of city of Chengdu surrounded by rapidly expanding residential area.
 
 
 
13

 
 
The QLF is estimated to be 80 mu or 53,000 m2. Both pre-extraction plant and the formulation plant are to be relocated. The combined QLF plant, designed and constructed according to the latest GMP standards, is expected to relieve the current capacity saturation at TPI’s facilities. The re-location and construction cost is estimated at $25 million for Phase I which, when completed in 2012, will expand the current capacity by 30%. For Phase II QLF, an additional $10 million may be employed to double the current capacity by 2013.
 
Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Guidance
 
Based on the upcoming JCM macrolide API revenue expected in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the current generic pricing pressure, together with the evolving government policies amid ongoing healthcare reform, we forecast our fiscal year 2012 revenue of $100 million and net income guidance of $11 million.  In summary, our projection is based on: 1) JCM upcoming revenue for primarily the second half of fiscal year 2012; 2) reduced generic sales but relatively steady revenue from the flagship product portfolio; 3) capacity optimization and relocation of TPI’s manufacturing facilities; and 4) steady TMT distribution revenue. 

Our current facilities operate at approximately 90% of the total capacity on 24 hours per day schedule. The optimization will utilize the remaining capacity efficiently. The new QLF relocation will ultimately expand the current  production capacity by an additional 30% to 100% capacity.
 
Management will continue to evaluate the Company's business outlook and communicate any changes on a quarterly basis or as when appropriate

Discussion on Operating Results

The following table shows the results of our business. All references to the results of operations and financial conditions are on a consolidated basis that includes Chengdu Tianyin, TMT and JCM.

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $17.5 million, a decrease of 20.5% as compared to $22.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The sales decrease was mainly due to 1) pricing pressure on our generic pharmaceuticals, 2) the government policies to prioritize Essential Drug List (EDL) drug sales that simultaneously reduce the sales and margins of higher margined generic pharmaceuticals, and 3) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, ahead of the current healthcare reform policies being enforced, our downstream customers had significantly built up their inventory which led to a revenue gain of 63.7% for TPI  from the prior year.

We have been exploring various strategies to maintain the growth momentum. In addition to the upcoming JCM API revenue, we particularly emphasize on the TMT distribution revenue that consists of mainly EDL drugs. We also focus on AAA and AA hospitals in major cities of China to develop the high-end hospital pharmaceutical market while previously we had targeted large but dispersed markets in rural areas. Our top five product sales are: GMOL: $2.9 million; APU: $0.93 million; AZI: $0.48 million; XLCC: $0.64 million; and Qing Re Jie Du Oral Liquid (QR): $0.61 million. These products totaled $5.6 million in sales, representing 32% of the quarterly revenue.

Cost of Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $11.7 million or 66.6% of sales as compared to $11.1 million or 50.4% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our cost of sales primarily consists of the costs of direct raw materials, labor, depreciation and amortization of manufacturing equipment and facilities, and other overhead. The increased percentage of our cost of sales from the previous year was due to 1) generic pricing pressure, 2) distribution business through TMT amounting to $4.2 million at 10% gross margin, and 3) increase of raw material costs.

Gross Margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was 33.4% as compared to 49.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The factors that influence the gross margins include 1) raw material price (85% of the cost of goods sold), and 2) production cost (15% of the cost of goods sold). During this quarter, our organic product portfolio delivered 42.1% gross margins, 7.2% lower than 49.3% a year earlier. Given the blend of the TMT lower margin distribution revenue and gross margin reduction under the current pricing trend, we anticipate that our overall gross margin in the near term, on a quarter to quarter comparison basis, may trend lower, but on a sequential basis should stabilize or improve depending upon the revenue mix percentages of TMT revenue, upcoming JCM API revenue as compared to the proprietary portfolio’s revenue performance.

Operating Expenses were $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly associated with 1) the lower sales and marketing costs as a result of lower sales, and 2) in the prior year, there was a one-time restricted stock compensation impact of approximately $1.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Net Income was $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.9 million. Net profit margins for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to 8.6% from 15.5% for the comparable period in fiscal year 2010. This is the result of sales decrease along with gross margin compression in the quarter.
 
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment. Our reporting currency is the US dollar. We have evaluated the determination of its functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, Foreign Currency Matters, which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash. We have raised financings in the U.S. dollar, paid operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, paid dividends to its shareholders of common stock and expected to receive any dividends that may be declared by its subsidiaries in U.S. dollars. Therefore, it has been determined that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.  However, the functional currency of Chengdu Tianyin, our indirectly owned operating subsidiary is Renminbi (RMB). Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period.  Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity.  Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $0.95 million as of September 30, 2011. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at September 30, 2011 were translated at 6.38978RMB to 1.00 US dollar as compared to 6.68003RMB to 1.00 US dollar at September 30, 2010. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were the average exchange rates during the years.
 
Comprehensive Income that includes the currency adjustment to net income was $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the comprehensive income of $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.8 million.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  
 
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
In connection with our review of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting as of our last fiscal quarter, ended September 30, 2011, and based on certain comments that we received from the staff of the SEC regarding the accounting treatment and the non-cash/non-operational financial charges of our Series A and B Warrants, which resulted in our having to amend and restate our financial statements from July 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2011 due to the existence of the material weaknesses mentioned below. A material   weakness is a control  deficiency,  or  combination  of control deficiencies,  that  results  in more than a remote  likelihood  that a material misstatement  of the  financial  statements  will not be  prevented or detected. Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011: 1) lack of sufficient knowledge regarding U.S. GAAP reporting by our existing accounting staff; 2) lack of sufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for an efficient internal control system; and 3) lack of sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls.  

Currently we are in the process of building an internal accounting team with sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. Since the end of our last fiscal year, management has met on numerous occasions and discussed the following plans to improve the efficiency and expertise in GAAP reporting. We have been trying to recruit experienced professionals to augment  our financial staff for sufficient US GAAP, financial reporting, which would improve our controls and procedure, with the regard to the financial statements preparation; and improve the knowledge of U.S. accounting standards for our current accounting staff.

We believe that the remediation measures we are taking, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the significant deficiency discussed above and enable us to meet our GAAP reporting requirements.
 
Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
