Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (the “Company” or “Tianyin”), was established under the laws of Delaware. The Company’s primary business is to research, manufacture, and sell pharmaceutical products in China through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
 
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (US GAAP). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tianyin 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 US GAAP applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring 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.

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013, included in the Company’s annual report on form 10K filed on September 26, 2013, as not all disclosures required by US 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 year ended June 30, 2013.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from September 30, 2013 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.

The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of a subsidiary with functional currency other than U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income

Reclassification

Certain amounts of prior period were reclassified for presentation purpose.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Raygere is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the corporate tax laws of British Virgin Islands, it is not subject to tax on income or capital gain.
 
The operating subsidiary Chengdu Tianyin is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC and subject to PRC Foreign Enterprise Income Tax (“FEIT”) Law. Starting January 1, 2011, the effective tax rate for Chendu Tianyin was between 25% - 30%. As domestic invested companies, the effective tax rates of Tianyin Medicine Trading, HSP and JCM are all between 25% and 30% each from their operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740 that clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company does not recognize any benefits in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Note 7 – 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 adversely influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. Specifically, the Company's business may be negatively 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.

Note 8 – Risk of Concentrations and Credit Risk

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, one major vendor accounted for approximately 25% and 40% of the Company’s total purchases, respectively. Total purchases from this vendor were $2.1   million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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 9 – 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.

(“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 approximately $0.7 million (RMB 5 million) 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 our 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 antibiotic active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Total registered capital of JCM is approximately $3.2 million (RMB 20 million), of which Chengdu Tianyin accounts for 87%. JCM is regarded as the foundation for a broader strategy to establish a significant presence in the macrolide antibiotics industry in China.

In order to facilitate the relocation of Chengdu Tianyin’s business operation to Qionglai County and to secure land use rights for the relocation of manufacturing facilities, Chengdu Tianyin needed to establish its presence at Qionglai County during the process of construction while all operating subsidiaries of Chengdu Tianyin are registered outside of Qionglai. Therefore, the Company decided to acquire a pharmaceutical distribution company and registered it at Qionglai County as a subsidiary of Chengdu Tianyin. On August 29, 2012, Chengdu Tianyin entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with the shareholders of Sichuan Hengshuo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Sichuan Hengshuo” or “HSP”), a PRC pharmaceutical trading company, to acquire 100% ownership of HSP for a total consideration of approximately $0.2 million (RMB 1.3 million). The share transfer was closed on November 30, 2012, pursuant to which Chengdu Tianyin now owns 100% of HSP and Dr. Guoqing Jiang has become the legal representative of HSP.

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 been monitoring the progress of several pipeline drugs with our partnership research institutes, of which we could be able to register intellectual property rights of these products upon milestone results.
 
R&D for additional indications of flagship product Gingko Mihuan (GMOL)
 
Our flagship product GMOL (CFDA certification number: H20013079; patent number: 20061007800225) contributes approximately 34% to our total quarterly revenue. Clinical application and information gathered from physicians showed that in addition to our approved indication for GMOL: cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease and cerebral ischemic attack including strokes, off-label use of GMOL have been indicated in hepatic diseases and ophthalmological diseases. The validity of these observations is currently being investigated.
  
Jiangchuan Macrolide Project (JCM)

TPI has completed the 240-ton JCM facility for the R&D, manufacturing and sale of API and chemical intermediates of macrolide antibiotics. In January 2012, JCM was approved for its GMP certification designated as "CHUAN M0799," which is valid for the period of December 31, 2011 until December 31, 2015. Following the efficiency improvement and calibration, JCM started the production of the macrolide API for TPI’s Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets (SFDA No: H20074145) since July 2012. Currently the monthly production capacity of JCM is 5 - 10 tons of Azithromycin macrolide API. The API produced by JCM is mainly to supply for TPI’s own Azithromycin Tablets.
 
Tianyin Medicine Trading Distribution Business (TMT)
 
TMT is established to distribute products manufactured by both TPI and other pharmaceutical companies to fuel our expanding sales network as well as to provide synergy to our existing organic product portfolio. TMT has been distributing mainly TPI's own products since its inception in 2009. Since 2010, TPI has signed and later extended distribution contracts with Jiangsu Lianshui Pharmaceutical (“Lianshui”) to distribute Lianshui-branded generic injection products including cough suppressant, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines and other healthcare indications. On average, TMT distribution revenue contributed approximately $2-3 million sales per quarter to our total revenue.

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

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

Fiscal 2014 Guidance
 
The Company continues experiencing restrictive pricing pressures in the healthcare market in China as a result of the enactment of additional healthcare reform policies. The prevailing tightened pricing control of generic medicines in China amid the healthcare reform and from the government’s efforts to promote lower margined essential drugs (EDL) also simultaneously compressed our margins as well as our sale volumes of those generic products. These factors, together with the negative market environment of Azithromycin API pricing led to intensified market and pricing competition combined with an excess of capacity that may continue to last for the next few years.
 
Based on the continuous pricing pressure going forward, we reiterate the revenue forecast to range from 0% to 5% growth year over year from fiscal year 2013, along with a 10% net margin. The forecasted net income guidance excluded any non-cash expenses associated with stock compensation plans or stock option expenses. 
 
We believe the following factors will influence the future growth perspectives of our Company:
 
 
1)
Market expansion and revenue growth of TPI’s core product portfolio led by flagship product GMOL;
 
2)
Gradual ramp up of JCM revenue in the fiscal year 2014;
 
3)
The stabilization of generic sales following the progressive pricing restrictions amid the ongoing healthcare reform;
 
4)
Meaningful TMT distribution revenue contribution; and
 
5)
QLF relocation and smooth transition of production capacity.  
 
Our current facilities operate at approximately 90% of the total capacity on a 24 hour per day schedule. We are in the process of optimizing the usage of the remaining capacity and expanding the existing capacities to meet any potential additional market demand.

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

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $14.7 million, a decrease of 8.1% as compared to $16.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The sales decrease reflected the continuous pricing pressure and restrictive sales policies in generic products compared with the same period last year.
 
 
13

 
 
In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, our top five core product sales were:
 
1.  
Gingko mihuan oral liquid (GMOL) for stroke and cardiovascular disorders: $5.1 million
2.  
Mycophenolate mofetil capsules (MM) for renal transplant: $2.2 million
3.  
Azithromycin tablets (AZI) for infection: $0.5 million
4.  
Qingre jiedu oral liquid (QR): $0.7 million
5.  
Qianlie Shule capsules (QS) for prostate conditions: $0.27 million
 
These core products totalled $8.8 million in sales, representing 59.7% of our revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared with core products sales of $10.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The decrease of our core products sale compared with the same period in the last year further reflected the tightening pricing pressure that were discussed above. Since the inclusion of GMOL in a number of Provincial EDL lists, such as the provinces of Henan, Shandong, Sichuan and Guangdong, and the City of Chongqing, GMOL has experienced a significant sales increase in fiscal year 2013. Before further provincial EDL penetration by GMOL, we consider that the current level of GMOL sales stabilized. The contribution from our distribution business through TMT amounted to $1.9 million at 14% gross margin in the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
 
Cost of Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $8.8 million or 59.9% of sales, as compared to $9.7 million or 60.6% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Our cost of sales primarily consists of the costs of direct raw materials (85% of the cost of goods sold) and production cost (15% of cost of goods sold). The percentage decrease in our cost of sales from the previous period was mainly attributable to a greater mix of higher margin products augmented by a pricing stabilization of our lower margin generic products. We expect the positive trend to stabilize for the next few quarters.
 
Gross Margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was 40.6% as compared to 39.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. As discussed above in the segment of costs of sales, our gross margin improved, predominately as a result of a greater mix of higher margin products being sold during the period, supported by a levelling off of negative pricing pressures in our lower margin generic portfolio. We expect a gradual improvement of our overall gross margin on a quarter to quarter comparison basis from last year due to the sale of our higher margin products.
 
Operating Expenses were $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly associated with an optimized sales and marketing costs.
 
Net Income was $1.5 million with a net margin of 10.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to net income of $1.5 million with net margin of 9.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The improvement of net margin was predominately a result of improvements in our gross margins with optimized sales and marketing expenditure.
 
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 conducted financings in U.S. dollars, paid operating expenses primarily in U.S. dollars, paid dividends to our shareholders of common stock and expect to receive any dividends that may be declared by our subsidiaries in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we have 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 are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of Comprehensive Income and amounted to $0.6 million as of September 30, 2013. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity as of September 30, 2013 were translated at 6.1350 RMB to 1.00 US dollar as compared to 6.3340 RMB to 1.00 US dollar as of September 30, 2012. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were the average exchange rates during the years.

Comprehensive Income that includes the currency adjustment to net income was $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the comprehensive income of $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The net comprehensive income increase was $0.7 million.

Operating activities

As of September 30, 2013, we had working capital totalling $38.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $25.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with net cash generated from operating activities as $0.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The net decrease in operating cash flow was predominately the result of the payment of the QLF construction/relocation related accounts payable at the amount of $(2.7) million which was offset by an increase of cash flow from accounts receivable, inventories and other receivables totalled $1.0 million. We believe that TPI is adequately funded to meet all of our working capital and capital expenditure needs for fiscal year 2014.
 
Investing activities
 
We had no cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and  September 30, 2012. We expect further increase in the net cash used in investing activities in association with our QLF relocation throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2014.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013, totalled $1.6 million as compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the same period of 2012 of $1.9 million.
 
Borrowings and Credit Facilities
 
The short-term bank borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $4.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively. We paid an average interest rate of 6.927% and 7.775% per annum in 2013 and 2012, respectively. These loans were made from CITIC Bank and Huaxia Bank, secured by Chengdu Tianyin's property and equipment, Guoqing Jiang, our CEO and a significant shareholder of the Company and Chengdu Jinniu District Rural Property Rights Transfer Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd., an unrelated party. The loans do not contain any additional financial covenants or restrictions. The borrowings have one-year terms and contain no specific renewal terms.
 
Stock Repurchase Program
 
On October 27, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $3.0 million of its common stock from time to time in the open-market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company's original announcement stated that the buyback would be conducted through January 2009, but we did not repurchase the full amount and in late 2011, the Company resumed the stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2013, a total of 113,485 shares had been bought back at prevailing market prices. Due to various regulatory restrictions in China and costs incurred during the conversion from Chinese RMB into US Dollars, the repurchase of stocks was limited by both the availability of US Dollars as well as the various requirements for our ongoing capital expenditure projects.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
Not applicable
 
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 as of June 30, 2013 and as of September 30, 2013, due to the existence of material weaknesses, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not 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 were not 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 the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013, management determined that our internal control environment is not properly designed due to the existence of certain material weaknesses identified in fiscal 2011 and continued to exist in 2012, and therefore our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.  We have established a number of remediation measures, which we believe will remediate the material weaknesses identified, if such measures are effectively implemented and maintained. As of the end of the period covered by the report, we continue the process of implementing and maintaining the remediation measures, and we conclude that the internal control of the Company has improved from the initiation of the plan two years ago. We believe that the remediation process requires continuous education and progress. As of September 30, 2013, our management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not yet effective; however, our reassessment shows that we have corrected and improved most of the above-mentioned material weaknesses and we expect to complete the remediation by the end of fiscal year 2014. For more information regarding our controls and procedures, please refer to Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, filed with the SEC on September 26, 2013.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
