Mr. David (Xiaoying) Gao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Biologic, commented, "We're pleased to see consistently strong demand for our products throughout 2012, which allowed us to enjoy steady top-line annual growth. Our effort over recent years in expanding our sales force and focusing on direct sales to hospitals and inoculation centers has bolstered aspects of our pricing power and reduced our reliance on distributors. We also implemented additional cost control measures since the second half of 2012, resulting in lower selling expenses as a percentage of total sales. Additionally, thanks to enhanced corporate management initiatives, accounts receivable decreased 33.1% year-over-year. Inventories increased 6.1%, in line with production expansion.

"In response to the previously announced delay in construction of our new production facility in Guizhou due to slower-than-expected government approval of land use rights, we implemented an alternative strategy to commence upgrading our current production facility at Guizhou Taibang in June or July 2013 to meet the more stringent Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") standards that take effect by year end. We expect the comprehensive upgrading to our Guizhou Taibang facility to take six to nine months, during which time we will suspend production at this facility. We expect the upgrade of the production facility will be complete in the first half of 2014. To mitigate the negative impact on sales and ensure supply continuity, we have been increasing inventory levels in the past few quarters, adjusting product shipment plans for 2013, and have been and will continue to increase production volume during the first half of 2013."

Mr. Gao continued, "We are also pleased to announce that in January 2013, Shandong Taibang obtained approval from local authorities to establish a new plasma collection station in Cao County, Shandong Province. We expect to obtain operating permits and commence plasma collection operations by the end of June 2013. Cao County is home to a population of 1.6 million and we expect our new plasma station there to ramp up in the next three years, potentially enlarging our collection base in Shandong by 10 to 15 percent."

Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Performance

Total sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $34.0 million, representing a decrease of 4.6% from $35.7 million in the same quarter of 2011. The decrease was mainly due to a human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection ("IVIG") products shipment delay in October when the Company appealed to various regional governments for favorable pricing policies following a price adjustment announcement by the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC") in September 2012. Guizhou and Shandong provincial governments accepted our appeals and approved to lift the tender price ceilings for IVIG products in late October.

Income from operations increased by 41.5% to $13.9 million from $9.8 million in the same quarter of 2011, mainly due to $3.5 million decrease in selling expenses. Operating margin increased to 41.0% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from 27.6% in the same quarter of 2011.

Net income attributable to the Company increased by 25.3% to $5.8 million from $4.6 million in the same quarter of 2011. Fully diluted net income per share was $0.21 in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $0.18 in the same quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the Company was $7.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a 15.6% decrease from $8.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of warrants of $3.1 million, while no such loss was recorded in the same quarter of 2012.

Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Performances

Total sales in 2012 were $184.8 million, an increase of 20.7% from $153.1 million in 2011. Excluding foreign exchange influence, the increase in sales was primarily attributable to a mix of price and volume increases in plasma-based products, as well as a substantial increase in sales of placenta polypeptide products.

During 2012, most of the Company's approved products recorded price increases. The general price increases for the human albumin products and immunoglobulin product group (other than human hepatitis B immunoglobulin products) were primarily attributable to strong market demand and a shortage of supply following the closure of several plasma collection stations in Guizhou in 2011.

During 2012, human albumin products and human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection ("IVIG") products remained the largest two sales contributors.

• As a percentage of total sales, human albumin product revenue was 44.6% in 2012 as compared to 54.5% in 2011. Sales volume of human albumin products declined 9.2% over the year.

• As a percentage of total sales, IVIG revenue was 39.0% in 2012 as compared to 32.3% in 2011. Sales volume of IVIG products increased by 33.6% over the year, mainly due to increased market demand and the Company's ability to ship more product as a result of increased inventory levels built up in the later part of 2011 in anticipation of the demand increase.

Cost of sales increased by 27.9% to $58.8 million in 2012 from $46.0 million in 2011. Cost of sales as a percentage of total sales was 31.8%, as compared to 30.1% in 2011. Volume and percentage increases in cost of sales were mainly due to increased sales activities and increased raw plasma collection costs resulting from higher compensation paid to plasma donors. Gross profit increased by 17.7% to $126.0 million in 2012 from $107.1 million in 2011. Gross margin decreased slightly to 68.2% in 2012 from 69.9% in 2011.

Total operating expenses in 2012 decreased by 31.2% to $51.5 million from $74.9 million in 2011, primarily due to decreased impairment loss. The Company incurred an impairment loss of $24.8 million in 2011, for both goodwill and abandonment of long-lived assets as a result of the closure of several plasma collection stations in Guizhou. There was no impairment loss in 2012. As a percentage of total sales, total operating expenses decreased to 27.9% in 2012 from 48.9% in 2011.

Selling expenses in 2012 decreased to $14.4 million from $14.6 million in 2011. As a percentage of total sales, selling expenses was 7.8%, down from 9.5% in 2011. The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to favorable product pricing and less reliance on distributors as a result of the Company's lengthy efforts at expanding its sales force as well as the Company's sales strategy of focusing on direct sales to hospitals and inoculation centers. The Company has taken additional steps to further control selling expenses since the second half 2012.

General and administrative expenses in 2012 increased by 8.0% to $34.0 million from $31.5 million in 2011. As a percentage of total sales, general and administrative expenses was 18.4% in 2012, down from 20.6% in 2011. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly due to higher payroll expenses and employee benefits, as well as legal expenses related to the disputes among Guizhou Taibang shareholders over the additional capital.

Research and development expenses in 2012 were $3.0 million, as compared to $4.0 million in 2011, representing a decrease of 23.8% . As a percentage of total sales, research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were 1.6% and 2.6%, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to the completion of the R&D tests on human coagulation factor VIII ("FVIII") in early 2012.

Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $74.5 million, an increase of 131.2% from $32.2 million in the same period of 2011. Operating margin increased to 40.3% in 2012 from 21.0% in 2011.

Income tax expense in 2012 was $15.2 million, as compared to $10.9 million in 2011. The effective income tax rates were 18.7% and 25.8% for the twelve months ended December, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Net income attributable to the Company increased by 148.7% to $45.2 million in 2012, from $18.2 million in 2011. Net margins were 24.5% and 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fully diluted net income per share was $1.62 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $0.37 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to the Company was $48.0 million or $1.79 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012, representing a 31.5% increase from $36.5 million or $1.37 per diluted share in 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share in 2012 excluded an aggregate $1.8 million gain related to the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and $4.5 million of non-cash employee share-based compensation expenses.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $129.6 million, compared to $89.4 million as of December 31, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $71.1 million, as compared to $38.5 million for the year 2011.

Outlook

For the full year of 2013, the Company expects total sales to be in the range of $195 million to $205 million. This guidance assumes, the production suspension at the Company's Guizhou facility, only organic growth and excludes acquisitions and necessarily assumes no significant adverse price changes during 2013. The Company estimates full year non-GAAP adjusted net income to be in the range of $50 million to $53 million.

This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary views, which are subject to change.
