1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Tongli Pharmaceuticals (USA), Inc.(the “Company”), through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Harbin Tianmu Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Tianmu Pharmaceuticals”), develops, produces and sells a wide variety of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) that are based on traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”). In August 2011, the Company formed Harbing Lvnong Plant Ltd. (“Lvnong”) to plant and sell herbs in China. Lvnong is 100% owned by the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Tongli Technology Co., Ltd. (“Tongli Technology”).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year or any other periods. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for the complete financial statements.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of: (i) the Company (ii) the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary American Tony Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“American Tony”), (iii) American Tony’s wholly owned subsidiary Tongli Technology, and (iv) Tongli Technology’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Tianmu Pharmaceuticals and Lvnong, each PRC companies. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Uses of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted 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.
7 |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expense, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined using the weighted average cost method, and net realizable value. Costs include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Management periodically compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventory markdown is considered necessary for nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Harvested Chinese herbs inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost of growing herbs includes director labor and material costs accumulated through the balance sheet date.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 360-10-20. 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. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2012, there were no impairment of its long-lived assets.
Deferred income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be 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, ASC 740 requires 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. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as warranted.
Foreign currency translation
Since the Company operates primarily in the PRC, the Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
8 |
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 collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers. The Company sells primarily to distributors who subsequently sell the merchandise. The agreements with distributors do not provide for the right of return. Return from distributors has historically been immaterial and accordingly no reserve is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
3. | INVENTORY |

(1) | On March 21, 2010, the Company entered into a New Drug Assignment Agreement (the “Tonghua Agreement”) with TonghuaYisheng Pharmaceuticals Company Limited (“Tonghua”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase a new drug candidate, called Nafarelin, from Tonghua for a purchase price of RMB33,000,000 (approximately $4.85 million). The total purchase price is payable in three installments: 33% of the total purchase price (approximately $1.6 million) was paid upon execution of the Tonghua Agreement in March 2010; another 33% (approximately $1.6 million) was paid in March 2011 (although it is required to be paid upon conclusion of third clinical trial for the product pursuant to the terms of the Tonghua Agreement) and the balance is payable upon conclusion of the transfer. |
Nafarelin is a proposed treatment for endometriosis and prostate cancer. At a minimum, completion of the third phase clinical trail is a pre-condition to receipt of the New Drug Approval Certificate from the SFDA. The SFDA new drug approval procedure is separate and distinct from the patent prosecution procedure. To date, neither Tonghua nor the Company has applied or intend to apply for patent protection for Nafarelin or the formula or process related to Nafarelin. Once Tonghua is granted the New Drug Approval Certificate for Nafarelin, according to pharmaceutical laws of PRC, the Company, as the assignee of the New Drug Approved Certificate, shall receive 4 years of exclusive protection. As described below, the Company regards such protection period as the appropriate amortization period. The patent protection is irrelevant for purposes of amortization in determining the life of the drug as the Company will not apply for patent protection for Nafarelin.
9 |
The Company is not be responsible for conducting or paying for any clinical trial and/or research and development in connection with the new drug application for Nafarelin. Pursuant to the Tonghua Agreement, Tonghua shall continue the research, development and clinical trial work for Nafarelin until the SFDA grants the New Drug Approval Certificate and the product is ready to be marketed. Tonghua is listed as the applicant for the SFDA new drug approval process for this product. Once SFDA approval is obtained, the Company will be able to consummate the assignment and enjoy the protection afforded by the New Drug Approval Certificate. In addition, the Company’s ability to commercialize this new product also requires assistance and cooperation from Tonghua, which Tonghua is obligated to provide to us under the Tonghua Agreement.
Under PRC law, the SFDA’s New Drug Approval Certificate grants certain exclusive protections to approved new drugs, meaning that the subject formula may not be manufactured by other parties in China. The exclusive protection periods for the new drugs vary from 4 to 12 years depending on the category of the new drug. Because the Company shall be the beneficiary of the exclusive protection during the applicable period (the so-called “new drug approval period”), upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Tonghua Agreement, the Company will regard the protection period as the appropriate amortization period. Based on ASC 805-50-30 “Initial Measurement on Acquisition of Assets Rather Than a Business” and ASC350-30 ”General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill”, the total payment pursuant to the Tonghua Agreement will be recorded as an intangible asset once the Company obtains the SFDA New Drug Approval Certificate and will be amortized over the term of the new drug protection period.
Based on a written mutual understanding between the Company and Tonghua, any payments the Company made to Tonghua under the Tonghua Agreement will be refunded if SFDA approval is not obtained for Nafarelin.

11. | 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 thirty 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 PRC’s 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 SFDA. Obtaining licenses for additional products can be expensive and is usually time consuming. Failure to obtain the required licenses can cause the Company’s business plan to be delayed. If the delays prevent the Company from generating positive cash flows or introducing a significant number of products, there will be a material adverse effect on the Company.

Company Overview
Tongli Pharmaceuticals (USA), Inc. (the “Company”), owns all of the outstanding capital stock of American Tony Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“American Tony”).
American Tony is a holding company. In February 2007, American Tony acquired, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Tongli Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“Tongli Technology”), all of the registered capital of Harbin Tianmu Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Tianmu Pharmaceuticals”), a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC on November 26, 1999. Tianmu Pharmaceuticals is our principal operating subsidiary and is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical and health care products that incorporate elements of Chinese Traditional Medicine with elements of western medicine. Our research and development activities have been carried out at relatively low cost because they have been carried out by our in house research and development team and, in the past, in concert with a number of research institutes and universities, including the Jilin Research Institute of Chinese Traditional Medicine, the Sichuan Research Institute of Chinese Medicine, the Heilongjiang Institute of Chinese Traditional Medicine, the Chemistry Department of Tsinghua University, and the R&D Center of Harbin Medical University.
In August 2011, we formed HarbingLvnong Plant Ltd. (“Lvnong”) to plant and sell herbs in China. Lvnong is 100% owned by Tongli Technology. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, all the traditional Chinese medicines we planted were destroyed by typhoon.

Pursuant to the agreement, the lease term is five years from October 2012 to November 2017.The Company will resume planting traditional Chinese medicines after the lease agreement is over.
Tianmu Pharmaceuticals obtained the GMP certificate (Good Manufacturing Practices for Pharmaceutical Products), and Drug Register License and Drug Production Certificate from the SFDA for its 10 products. The Company’s main products include cholesterol reduction pill, mouthwash, anti-inflammatory tablet and calcium supplement. These products are sold through distributors or directly to customers; no service is required of the Company after sales are made. The Company’s primary customers are drug stores and hospitals located in China.

Panax and Radix Polygoni Capsule
In October, 2010, we began to manufacture and sell our new product Panax and Radix Polygoni Capsule. This new product has helped us to generate about 79% and 45.1% of our total sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We believe that this product has great market potential and will continue to generate sustainable income for our company in the foreseeable future.

Discussion of Operating Results
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Revenues, cost of sales and gross profit
We generated revenue of $3,752,983 and $7,083,973 for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $4,127,532 and $13,583,418 in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011 respectively, decreased by 9.1% for the three months period and 48% for the nine months period. The decrease in the three months ended December 31, 2012 was mainly because the Company stopped manufacturing two older, less profitable products-Antihyperlipidemics and Fukezhidai, and began to market a new product of Xinyu Breath Spray during August 2012. The Company believes Xinyu Breath Spray will generate sustainable income in the near future. The significant decrease in sales for the nine months period, in addition to the discussion above for the three months, was mainly due to the interruption caused by the breakdown of a boiler and related pipeline in January 2012. The manufacturing process was not functional until the mid of July 2012.
We had distribution contracts with various distributors during the three months ended December 31, 2012 to sell its products in China. We manufacture our products and ship the products to distributors based on the sales order from distributors each month. Revenue is recognized at the time of the shipment. No return is allowed, unless there is a quality problem. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, there were no returns from distributors or customers. Distributors normally make payments upon receiving the products; however, in some cases, we may extend credit to certain creditable distributors for certain period until the next shipment.
Our cost of sales was $1,733,110 and $3,481,018for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $2,083,889 and $7,176,389 in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011 respectively, decreased by 16.8% for the three months period and 52% for the nine months period. As we didn’t generate any revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we didn’t incur any cost of goods and gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The decrease in cost of sales was mainly related to the decrease in the sales in the same period.
Gross profit was $2,019,873 and $3,602,955 for the three months and nine months ended December 31 2012 compared to $2,043,643 and $6,407,029 in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011respectively, decrease by 1% for the three months period and 44% for the nine months period. The decrease in gross profit for nine month period was due to the reason we discussed above.
Gross profit margin was 53.8% and 50.9% for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 49.6% and 47.1% in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Although the revenue for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 decreased, compared to the same period in 2011, gross profit margin for three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 increased, compare to the same period in 2011. The increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to (1) Panax and Radix Polygoni Capsule is the main product during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, It is more profitable compared to the other products; (2) The sales of Panax and Radix Polygoni Capsule represented 62% and 79% of the total sale in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012.

The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was mainly due to the decrease in selling expenses. The decreases in our total operating expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the prior comparative periods were primarily related to the breakdown of a boiler and related pipeline in January 2012 and the interruption of manufacturing process. Our manufacturing process was notfunctional until the mid of July 2012. Higher operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2011were due to the costs related to the common shares issued to several officers, directors, employees and consultant for their services.
Interest income (expense)
Interest income was $550 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to interest expense of $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Interest income was $814 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to interest expense of $27,881 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 representing a 97.1% decrease. Interest expense decreased because there was no principal outstanding in year 2012.
Other income (expense)
Other income was $15,860 for the three and nine months ended December 31 2012. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, all the traditional Chinese medicines we planted were destroyed by typhoon. The Company subleased the land out. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded rental income of RMB 100,000 (approximately $15,860). The Company recorded the amortization expense of the land as other expense of $26,433 as the Company subleased the land out, not using the land for its planting and selling herbs business in China since October 2012.
Income tax expense
All of our net incomes for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were from Tianmu Pharmaceuticals, which conducts substantially of our operation in the PRC. Our Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
We had income tax expenses of $468,508 and $684,240 for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $468,896 and $1,449,260 for the comparative periods in the fiscal year 2011.
Net income
As a result of the above factors, we reported net income of $1,315,116 and 1,633,798 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 respectively, as compared to the net income of $1,264,046 and 3,101,717 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 respectively.
Other comprehensive income
We operate primarily in the PRC and the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at the rate on December 31, 2012 or at any other rate.

The value of RMB against USD may fluctuate and is affected by changes in political and economic conditions. Our revenues, costs and financial assets are mostly dominated in RMB while our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, this may result in gains or losses from currency translation on our financial statements.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process amounted to a gain of $273,841 and $588,692 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at December 31, 2012 were translated at 6.3011 RMB to 1.00 USD as compared to 6.5918 RMB to 1.00 USD at December 31, 2011. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the income statements accounts for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were 6.3053 RMB and 6.7413 RMB, respectively.

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have financed our operation and capital expenditures through cash from operations as well as loans from shareholders and an entity owned by our Chairman.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We seek to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such 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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of December 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not operating effectively as of December 31, 2012. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of certain “material weaknesses” described in the “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section in Item 9A of our annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we had not completed the remediation of these material weaknesses.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls.
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, except as disclosed above
