Description of Business
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of China Sky One Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of the company's operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the company's operations for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 15, 2009.

China Sky One Medical, ("China Sky One" or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 7, 1986, and formerly known as Comet Technologies, Inc. (“Comet”). On July 26, 2006, the Company changed the name of the reporting company from "Comet Technologies, Inc." to "China Sky One Medical, Inc."  

American California Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (“ACPG”), our non operating United States holding company subsidiary, was incorporated on December 16, 2003, in the State of California, under the name “QQ Group, Inc.” QQ Group, Inc. changed its name to “American California Pharmaceutical Group, Inc.” in anticipation of the Stock Exchange Agreement with China Sky One (then known as “Comet Technologies, Inc.”) and TDR, described herein. On December 8, 2005, ACPG completed a stock exchange transaction with TDR a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) based operating company and TDR’s subsidiaries (the “TDR Acquisition”), each of which were fully operating companies in the PRC. Under the terms of the agreement, ACPG exchanged 100% of its issued and outstanding common stock for 100% of the capital stock of TDR and its subsidiaries, described below.

Thereafter, on May 11, 2006, ACPG entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the shareholders of China Sky One. The terms of the Exchange Agreement were consummated and the acquisition was completed on May 30, 2006. As a result of the transaction, the Company issued a total of 10,193,377 shares of its common voting stock to the stockholders of ACPG, in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of ACPG resulting in ACPG becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. The transaction is treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes.

TDR, formerly known as “Harbin City Tian Di Ren Medical Co.,” was originally formed in 1994 and maintained its principal executive office in Harbin City of Heilongjiang Province, in the PRC. TDR was reorganized and incorporated as a limited liability company on December 29, 2000, under the laws of the PRC. At the time of the TDR Acquisition by ACPG in December of 2005, TDR had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Harbin First Bio-Engineering Company Limited and Kangxi Medical Care Product Factory, until July, 2006, when the two were merged, with Harbin First Bio-Engineering Company Limited (“First”) as the surviving subsidiary of TDR. The principal activities of TDR and First are the research, manufacture and sale of over-the-counter non-prescription health care products. TDR commenced its business in the sale of branded nutritional supplements and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products in the Heilongjiang Province. TDR has subsequently evolved into an integrated manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of external use natural Chinese medicine products sold primarily to and through China’s various domestic pharmaceutical chain stores.

China Sky One is a holding company whose principal operations are through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. It has no revenues separate from its subsidiaries, and has nominal expenses related to its status as a public reporting company and to its 100% ownership interest in ACPG and TDR.

On September 30, 2008 (the “Record Date”), we obtained the written consent of the holders of 8,158,251 shares of our common stock, which as of the Record Date, represented 51.3% of our outstanding voting securities, to increase our number of authorized shares of common stock from twenty million (20,000,000) to fifty million (50,000,000) shares.

Acquisition of Businesses

On April 3, 2008, TDR completed an acquisition pursuant to an Equity Transfer Agreement dated February 22, 2008, between TDR and Heilongjiang Tianlong Pharmaceutical, Inc., a corporation with a multitude of SFDA approved medicines and new medicine applications, organized under the laws of the PRC (“Tianlong”), which is in the business of manufacturing external-use pharmaceuticals. Our TDR subsidiary previously acquired the Beijing sales office of Tianlong in mid-2006. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, TDR acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tianlong from its sole stockholder Wu Jiechen, a resident of China, in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8,300,000, consisting of (i) $8,000,000 in cash, and (ii) 23,850 shares of China Sky One (value at $12 per share of approximately $286,000). The acquisition received regulatory approval and closed on April 3, 2008.

The following table summarizes the approximate estimated fair values of the assets acquired in the Tianlong acquisition.

Intangible assets

Net assets acquired
  $ 8,271,861  

On April 18, 2008, China Sky One through its subsidiary TDR consummated a share acquisition pursuant to an Equity Transfer Agreement with the shareholders of Heilongjiang Haina Pharmaceutical Inc., a recently formed corporation organized under the laws of the PRC (“Haina”) licensed as a wholesaler of TCMs, bio-products, medicinal devices, antibiotics and chemical medicines. Haina did not have an established sales network and was acquired for its primary asset, a Good Supply Practice (GSP) license (License No. A-HLJ03-010) issued by the Heilongjiang office of the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA). The SFDA recently started issuing such licenses to resellers of medicines that maintain certain quality controls. The GSP license was issued as of December 21, 2006 and will expire on January 29, 2012 and will enable the Company to expand its sales of medicinal products without having to go through a lengthy license application process. Upon the Company’s acquisition of Haina, the value of the GSP license was deemed to be nominal and the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the approximate estimated fair values of the assets acquired in the Haina acquisition.

Intangible assets
  $ 437,375  

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, TDR acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Haina from its three stockholders in consideration for payment of 3,000,000 RMB (approximately $437,000). TDR has been overseeing the operations of Haina since January of 2008 as part of its due diligence prior to closing of this acquisition.

On June 9, 2008, TDR entered into a Merger and Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Peng Lai Jin Chuang Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC (“Peng Lai”), which organized to develop, manufacture and distribute pharmaceutical, medicinal and diagnostic products in the PRC. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, TDR acquired all of the assets of Peng Lai in consideration for an aggregate of approximately (i) US$2.5 million in cash, and (ii) 381,606 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately $4.6 million (value at $12 per share).  The acquisition of Peng Lai closed on September 5, 2008.

The following table summarizes the approximate estimated fair values of the assets acquired in the Peng Lai acquisition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ACPG, TDR, First, Haina, Tianlong, and Peng Lai. All significant inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated.

These financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This basis of accounting differs from that used under applicable accounting requirements in the PRC. No material adjustment was required.

Certain items in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2009 financial statements presentation.

Use of estimates – The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

Significant estimates include the assigned lives to long-lived assets, uncollectible accounts receivable, and our impairment testing of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Earnings per share - Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When applicable, diluted earnings per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants.

Potential common shares issued are calculated using the treasury stock method, which recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share. It assumes that such proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

A significant amount of our cash and cash equivalents are held in commercial bank checking accounts in the PRC and earned an annual interest income yield of approximately 0.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For all the bank accounts in the PRC, the Company earned interest income of approximately $48,000 and $79,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Accounts receivable  Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for estimated bad debts is based upon the periodic analysis of individual customer balances including an evaluation of days of sales outstanding, payment history, recent payment trends, and perceived credit worthiness. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $50,000.

Inventories – Inventories include finished goods, raw materials, freight-in, packing materials, labor, and overhead costs and are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory units are valued using the weighted average method. Provisions are made for slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory based upon the periodic analysis of individual inventory items including an evaluation of historical usage and/or movement, age, expiration date, and general conditions. There is no inventory reserve provision recorded at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company uses an estimated residual value of 5% of cost, or valuation for both financial and income tax reporting purposes. The estimated lengths of useful lives are as follows:

Building and Improvements
 
30 years
Land use rights
 
50 years
Furniture & Equipment
 
5 to 7 years
Transportation Equipment
 
5 to 15 years
Machinery and Equipment
 
7 to 14 years

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they were incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset. Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset is removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment in value whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If such an event or change in circumstances occurs and potential impairment is indicated because the carrying values exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset, the Company will measure the impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Construction-in-progress – Properties currently under development are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including land rights cost, development expenditures, professional fees, and capitalized interest costs during the course of construction.

Upon completion and readiness for use of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress is transferred to the facility. In the case of construction-in-progress, management takes into consideration the estimated cost to complete the project when making the lower of cost or market calculation (see Note 14).

Intangible assets – Intangible assets consists of patents and goodwill, as follows:

Patents
  $ 14,112,631  
Goodwill
    759,987  
Total
  $ 14,872,618  

Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized while intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment on at least an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment costs, if any, are measured by comparing the carrying amount of the related assets to their fair value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. If the assets determined to be impaired are to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss thru a charge to operating results to the extent the present value of anticipated cash flows attributable to the assets are less than the asset’s carrying value. The Company would depreciate the remaining value over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset to operating results. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company has registered the trademark “Kang Xi” in the PRC. However, the Company has never had an appraisal done on this trademark or assigned any value to it. Additionally, none of the costs associated with the trademark have been capitalized.

As of September 30, 2009, the weighted average amortization period for our patents is 9 years.

Foreign Currency - The Company’s principal country of operations is in the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are recorded in Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency. The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of the capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into U.S. Dollars are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has been shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that all of these criteria are satisfied upon shipment from its facilities. Historically, the Company’s estimated returns, allowances and claims have been deemed immaterial. The Company’s sale agreements only allow a return if the product has quality related issues. In such event, the Company accepts the return for equivalent product exchange from inventory only.

The Company occasionally applies to various government agencies for research grants. Revenue from such research grants is recognized when earned. In situations where the Company receives payment in advance for the performance of research and development services, such amounts are deferred and recognized as revenue as the related services are performed.  

Deferred revenues - The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which goods are delivered are recorded as a liability under “Deferred revenues.”

Research and development - Research and development expenses include the costs associated with the Company’s internal research and development as well as research and development conducted by third parties. These costs primarily consist of salaries, clinical trials, outside consultants, and materials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Third-party expenses reimbursed under non-refundable research and development contracts are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company recognizes in-process research and development in accordance with ASC topic 730, “Research and Development.” Assets to be used in research and development activities, specifically, compounds that have yet to receive new drug approval and would have no alternative use, should approval not be given, are immediately charged to expense when acquired. Certain assets and other technologies acquired that has foreseeable future cash flows are capitalized as intangible assets. Such intangible assets are amortized starting from the year revenue is generated and amortized over an estimated period of 10 years. Should under any circumstances these capitalized intangible assets have no future benefit; the Company will record an immediate write-off for the remaining net carrying value within the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company incurred $4,884,925, $10,979,619 in research and development costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The Company incurred $1,866,409 and $3,881,312 in research and development costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Advertising  Advertising and trade show costs are expensed in the period in which the service is used. The Company signs contracts with agents who then place its advertising in the mediums of television, radio and internet. Advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $5,031,001 and $2,091,802, respectively. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $11,244,959 and  $5,257,228, respectively. Advertising costs are reported as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

Taxation – The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The Company’s provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records liabilities for income tax contingencies based on our best estimate of the underlying exposures.
 
The Company periodically estimates its tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgments. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. The Company adjusts income tax expense in the period in which these events occur.
 
Provision for the PRC enterprise income tax is calculated at the prevailing rate based on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward. The Company does not accrue taxes on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.

Enterprise income tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the PRC, income tax is payable by enterprises at the statutory rate of 25% of their taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulations from time to time promulgated by the State Council.

According to “Enterprise Income Tax and Certain Preferential Policies Notice” published by the Ministry of Finance and the National Tax Affairs Bureau, if the enterprise is authorized by the State Council as a special entity, the enterprise income tax rate is reduced to 15%. In 2009, the income tax rate for TDR, Tianlong, and First is 15% based on State Council approval. The income tax rate for Haina is 25%. The income tax rate for Peng Lai is regulated by local government at 2% of total revenue commencing January 1, 2009.

In 2008, the income tax rate for TDR and Tianlong was 15% and 12%, respectively. The income tax rate for First, Haina, and Peng Lai was 25%.

Value added tax

The Provisional Regulations of PRC Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in, or imported into, the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.

Value added tax payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

According to “Agriculture Product Value Added Tax Rate Adjustment and Certain Items’ Value Added Tax Waiver” published by the Ministry of Finance and the National Tax Affairs Bureau, the value added tax for agriculture related products is to be taxed at 13%. Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal plant are by definition agriculture related products.

We may from time-to-time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the U.S. for China Sky One and ACPG. ACPG wholly owns 100% of TDR and subsidiaries in the PRC. China Sky One and ACPG are holding companies and do not generate business revenues and management’s intent is not to distribute dividend income from TDR and subsidiaries to either China Sky One or ACPG. As such, management has established a full valuation allowance for the net operating losses incurred by China Sky One and ACPG. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for China Sky One and ACPG and in the PRC for TDR and its subsidiaries. The Company is subject to audit for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008.

Comprehensive income – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist entirely of foreign currency translation gains and losses.

Related companies – A related company is a company in which the director has beneficial interests in and in which the Company has significant influence.

Retirement benefit costs – According to the PRC regulations on pension plans, the Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement plan organized by municipal government in the province in which the Company was registered and all qualified employees as defined by statutory regulations are eligible to participate in the plan.

Contributions to the pension or retirement plan are calculated at 22.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount. The employees contribute between 2% to 8% to the pension plan, and the Company contributes the balance. The Company has no other material obligations for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this plan. The Company incurred costs of $35,626 and $37,513 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company incurred costs of $125,598 and $62,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments  The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair values at September 30, 2009 and 2008 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date of filing of this Form 10-Q in accordance with the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under ASC topic 855.

New Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental agencies, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities law are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Section and Paragraph structure.

The fair value requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis was deferred, until January 1, 2009 by The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under ASC topic 820.  Implementation of the fair value requirements for these items did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Business Combinations Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under ASC topic 805, includes new requirements that became effective for us in 2009. The definitions of a business and business combination were expanded and all assets and liabilities of an acquired business (for full, partial and step acquisitions) are required to be recorded at fair values, with limited exceptions. Earn-outs and other contingent consideration are required to be recorded at fair value on acquisition date and contingencies to be recorded at fair value on acquisition date with provision for subsequent remeasurement. Acquisition costs must be expensed as incurred and restructuring costs must generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition date. Amounts previously called “negative goodwill” which result from a bargain purchase in which acquisition date fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer are required to be recognized in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. The effects of the new requirements will depend on the nature and significance of acquisitions subsequent to our adoption of the new requirements.

The Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under ASC topic 810 contains new requirements that became effective for us in 2009. Noncontrolling interests are required to be reported in the equity section of consolidated financial statements and consolidated net income is required to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests, with any losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests in excess of the noncontrolling interests equity to be allocated to the noncontrolling interests. Calculation of earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements continue to be based on amounts attributable to the parent. The adoption of the new requirements resulted in presentation differences but did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under ASC topic 855 includes accounting and disclosure requirements for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements effective for financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these disclosure requirements did not affect our consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

The Company maintains certain bank accounts in the PRC which are not protected by FDIC insurance or other insurance. As of September 30, 2009 the Company held approximately $2,125,000 of cash balances within the U.S. of which was all insured. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $54,178,000, in PRC bank deposits, which are not insured. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company will record all losses associated with these risks at such time a loss is incurred. The Company believes that the chances of such losses actually take place are very remote.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk (Continued)

Nearly all of the Company’s sales are concentrated in PRC. Accordingly, the Company is susceptible to fluctuations in its business caused by adverse economic conditions in this country. Difficult economic conditions in other geographic areas into which the Company may expand may also adversely affect its business, operations and finances.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. Substantially all customers are located in PRC. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

Substantially all of the Company's long lived assets and business operations are located in the PRC.
 
The Company is self-insured for all risks and carries no liability or property insurance coverage of any kind. The Company does not set aside any reserves for product liability risks or other potential claims. The Company’s policy is to record losses associated with its lack of insurance coverage at such time as a realized loss is incurred. Historically, the Company has not had any material losses in connection with its lack of insurance coverage and was not party to any material pending legal proceedings as of September 30, 2009. Management’s intention is to use the Company’s working capital to fund any such losses incurred due to the Company’s exposure to inadequate insurance coverage.

The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings as of September 30, 2009.

Payments of dividends may be subject to some restrictions due to the Company’s operating subsidiaries all being located in the PRC.

Major Customers

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Harbin Shiji Baolong and Shanxi Xintai accounted for 14% and 13% respectively of sales revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of sales revenues. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, Harbin Shiji Baolong accounted for 25% and 20% of our outstanding accounts receivables, respectively. Hangzhou Jiupin accounted for approximately 11% of our outstanding accounts receivables as of September 30, 2008. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our outstanding accounts receivables.

Major Suppliers

Heilongjiang Kangda Medicine Co. and Harbin Zhongjia Chem accounted for approximately 40% and 16% respectively of the Company’s inventory purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Heilongjiang Kangda Medicine Co. accounted for 45% of the Company’s inventory purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Earnings per Share
 
The Company calculates its earnings per share under ASC topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period presented. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
 
Stock warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2009. Stock warrants and options to purchase 1,572,245 shares of common stock, all were exercisable and outstanding as of September 30, 2008. These common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise prices were less than the average market price of our common stock during these periods.

The dilutive potential common shares on warrants and options is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent s the potential dilutive effect of the securities.

Equity and Share-based Compensation

In July 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan, provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance shares to qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers. The 2006 Plan originally authorized the Company to grant options and/or rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2009, non-qualified options to purchase a total of 113,500 shares have been granted under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. All options were granted in October 2006. All options had an exercise price of $3.65 per share, the weighted fair market value on the date of grant was $4.25 per share. Of these 113,500 options a total of 60,500 were granted to employees and a total of 53,000 were granted to consultants. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividends; risk-free interest rate of 4%; a contractual life of 5 years and volatility of 39%. All 113,500 options vested over various periods for the options granted to employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2009, all 113,500 options have been exercised on a cashless basis for a total of 85,295 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
In connection with closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to grant warrants to advisors for the services they already performed for the reverse merger in July 2006, entitling them to purchase up to 500,000 shares on or before July 31, 2009, at a price of $2.00 per share and options to purchase up to 50,000 shares on or before December 20, 2008 at a price of $3.00 per share. The fair value of these warrants and options were determined to be $772,275 and deducted as expenses using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted assumptions: no dividends; risk-free interest rate of 4%; a contractual life of 2.5-3.5 years and volatility of 39%. The Company based its estimate of expected volatility on the historical, expected or implied volatility of similar entities whose share or option prices are publicly available. As of September 30, 2009, all of these warrants had been exercised.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, warrant holders exercised 8,334 shares of their warrants, at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, for total proceeds of $29,169. Warrant holders also exercised 300,000 shares of warrants on a cashless basis for a total of 261,610 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Securities Purchase Agreement and Related Transaction
 
On January 31, 2008, China Sky One entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, for the purchase and sale of units consisting of: (i) one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common stock”); and (ii) 750,000 Class A Warrants exercisable at $12.50 per share, and expiring on July 31, 2011 (the “Class A Warrants”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Unit Purchase Price”), or gross offering proceeds of $25.0 million (the “2008 Offering”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million in connection with the 2008 offering.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things, if, and whenever, within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date, the Company issued or sold, or was deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, or modified any of the foregoing which may be outstanding (with the exception of certain excluded securities), to any person or entity at a price per share, or conversion or exercise price per share less than the Unit Purchase Price, then the Company was required to issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of its common stock to the Investors in such number so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of common stock purchased by the Investors in the 2008 Offering would automatically be reduced to such other lower price per share. The Company did not issue any equity which would trigger this event within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date.

In addition, as of the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Make Good Agreement (the “Make Good Agreement”) with Liu Yan-Qing, its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and a principal shareholder of the Company, (the “Principal Shareholder”) and the Investors (collectively, the “Make Good Parties”), pursuant to which the Principal Shareholder deposited 3,000,000 shares of his common stock of the Company (the “Escrow Shares”) into escrow, to be released to the Investors in an amount pro rata pro to their initial investments in the 2008 Offering, in the event the Company failed to attain earnings per share, as adjusted, of at least (i) $1.05 per share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 (based on an aggregate of 13,907,696 shares outstanding), and/or (ii) $1.63 per share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (based on 16,907,696 shares outstanding).

The Company deemed the Escrow Shares arrangement as analogous to the issuance of a fixed number of warrants in an equity transaction. Under the Make Good Agreement these Escrow Shares would have been reallocated on a pro rata basis to the Investors only if certain earnings targets were not achieved in years 2007 and 2008. If the earnings targets were met, the Escrow Shares would automatically be released to the Principal Shareholder. As of January 31, 2008, the date the common shares were placed into escrow, the Company achieved the 2007 earnings target and, based upon internal forecasts, was confident the 2008 target would also be met. Based upon certain assumptions, including the low probability that the Escrow Shares would be released to the Investors and not be returned to the Principal Shareholder, the Company considered the fair value of the right held by the Investors through the Escrow Shares provision under the Make Good Agreement to be immaterial. As of December 31, 2008, the Company satisfied the earnings per common share targets for each of fiscal 2007 and 2008 as defined under the Make Good Agreement and, as such, the Escrow Shares had been released in May 2009.

The Class A Warrants represent the right to purchase an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $12.50 per share. Additional information relating to these Class A Warrants is provided in Note 8.

Outstanding Warrants and Options (Continued)

 
·
Commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, in the event the shares underlying the Class A Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) may not be freely sold by the holders of the Class A Warrants due to the Company’s failure to satisfy its registration requirements, and an exemption for such sale is not otherwise available to the warrant holders under Rule 144, the Class A Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis.

 
·
The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares will be subject to adjustment for standard dilutive events, including the issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, at a price per share, or conversion or exercise price per share less than the Class A Warrant exercise price of $12.50 per share.

 
·
At anytime following the date a Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares is declared effective, the Company will have the ability to call the Class A Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Class A Warrant, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the holders of the Class A Warrants, provided (i) the closing price of the Common stock exceeded $18.75 for each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date that the call notice is given by the Company, and (ii) the Company has attained an adjusted earnings per share of at least $1.75 per share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, as set forth in our audited financial statements of the Company.

 
·
If, among other things, the Company fails to cause a Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares to be declared effective prior to the applicable dates set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the expiration date of the Class A Warrants shall be extended one day for each day the registration default continues. To date, the Company has not satisfied its registration requirements. The Company retained an independent third party to calculate the changes in fair value of the Class A Warrants due to its failure to register the Warrant Shares. The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was deemed immaterial.
 
The Company’s outstanding warrants provide for an extension of the scheduled expiration date due to the Company’s failure to satisfy its obligation to register the Warrant Shares for resale. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, the expiration date extends one day for each day the registration default continues, subject to certain limitations. This extension of the expiration date is the only penalty related to the Company’s failure to register the Warrant Shares on a timely basis.

The registration rights do not require a cash settlement and the warrants can be settled in unregistered shares. The Company retained an independent third party to calculate the changes in the fair value of the warrants due to its failure to register the Warrant Shares. The change in fair value (since the registration default date) as of September 30, 2009 is deemed to be immaterial.

Inventories

The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost and market method. Inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories include packing materials, raw materials, supplemental materials, work-in-process, and finished products.

Inventories (Continued)

Finished Products
    1,001,459       55,614  
Total Inventories
  $ 3,099,451     $ 462,351  

Historically, the Company’s inventory is at its lowest levels at the end of each calendar year. Since a lower volume of sales activity normally occurs during the first quarter of each calendar year, the Company believes it is prudent to avoid incurring unnecessary inventory carrying costs. At the appropriate time in the first calendar quarter of each fiscal year, the Company begins to ramp up its inventory levels to prepare for increased demand during the coming stronger selling periods.

Management calculates its inventory turnover rate using total inventory rather than just finished goods, because its production cycle is of an extremely short duration.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no inventory reserve.

Income Taxes

Under the Provisional Regulations of PRC Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the PRC, income tax is payable by enterprises at a rate of 25% of their taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulations from time to time promulgated by the State Council.

According to “Enterprise Income Tax and Certain Preferential Policies Notice” published by the Ministry of Finance and the National Tax Affairs Bureau, if the enterprise is authorized by the State Council as a special entity, the enterprise income tax rate is reduced to 15%. In 2009, the income tax rate for TDR, Tianlong, and First is 15% based on State Council approval. The income tax rate for Haina is 25%. The income tax rate for Peng Lai is regulated by local government at 2% of total revenue commencing January 1, 2009. In 2008, the income tax rate for TDR and Tianlong was 15% and 12%, respectively. The income tax rate for First, Haina, and Peng Lai was 25%.

Tianlong had a preferential income tax rate of 12% in the year 2008. This income tax rate is approved by the local government for the purpose of providing favorable policies to attract enterprises to settle in its own region. The difference between the 12% assigned and the stated 15% tax rate is paid by the local government. Tianlong’s 12% tax rate expired on December 31, 2008 and its tax rate effective January 1, 2009 is 15%.

Income Taxes (Continued)

We record a full valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), annual use of the Company’s net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be limited because of cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% that have occurred.

Provision for the PRC enterprise income tax is calculated at the prevailing rate based on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward. The Company does not accrue taxes on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the state. However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current state officials.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2009, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2009, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards only apply to the Company’s U.S. holding companies because they incurred certain general and administrative costs without generating any revenue and, therefore, suffered a loss. The Company has no current intentions to distribute dividend income from its PRC-based subsidiaries to the U.S. holding companies. Therefore, the Company has established a full valuation allowance for the NOL carryforwards incurred by the U.S. holding companies. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s PRC-based subsidiaries have no NOL carryforwards. The Company’s temporary income tax differences for its non-U.S. entities in 2009 and 2008 are deemed immaterial.

The Company’s corporate tax returns are subject to examination in both the PRC and the U.S. for the years 2006 through 2008.

Land Use Rights Purchase Agreement and Construction in Progress

During the second quarter in 2007, TDR entered into an agreement with the Development and Construction Administration Committee of Harbin Song Bei New Development District to purchase certain land use rights for 50 years in conjunction with the Company’s development of a new headquarter and a new biotech engineering lab. The cost of this land use rights amounted to approximately $2.5 million. Terms of the agreement called for a deposit of 30% within 15 days after signing the agreement, 40% payment 7 days prior to the start of construction and the balance of 30% 7 days after getting the formal land use right.

Land Use Rights Purchase Agreement and Construction in Progress

The project consists of two phases:

(1) 
Construction of a main workshop, R&D center and our principle corporate office using land area of 30,000 square meters. Construction started in May 2007 and is estimated to be completed by the end of 2009.

(2) 
Construction of second workshop and show room using land area of 20,000 square meters. Construction is expected to start in September 2008 and is estimated to be completed by December 2009.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company remitted deposits totaling $8,533,952 under the terms of the above agreement. Within this deposit, there are approximately $5.8 million for construction. Upon the completion of the project, this construction deposits shall be released and returned to the Company.

The cost outlays for our constructions shall be entirely funded without borrowed funds.

15. 
Commitments and Contingencies

The formulation, manufacturing, processing, packaging, labeling, advertising, distribution and sale of external use Chinese medicine such as those sold by the Company are subject to regulations by one or more federal agencies. The principal federal agencies include the State Food and Drug Administration of the Government of the PRC, the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), Heilongjiang Provincial Food and Drug Administration of the PRC (PFDA), National Biology Products Inspection Institute (NBPI) and the National Food and Drug Administration (NFDA) of the PRC and, to a lesser extent, the Consumer Product Safety Commission. These activities are also regulated by various governmental agencies for the countries, states and localities in which the Company’s products are sold.

Although management believes that the Company is in material compliance with the statutes, laws, rules and regulations of every jurisdiction in which it operates, no assurance can be given that the Company’s compliance with the applicable statutes, laws, rules and regulations will not be challenged by governing authorities or private parties, or that such challenges will not lead to material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company, like any other distributor or manufacturer of products is exposed to the inherent risk of product liability claims in the events of possible injuries caused by the use of its products. The Company does not have liability insurance with respect to product liability claims. The insurance environment of PRC is neither sufficient nor mature. Inadequate insurance or lack of contractual indemnification from parties supplying raw materials or marketing its products, and product liabilities related to defective products could have a material adverse effects on the Company.
 
The Company is not involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business.

The Company’s rental commitment is for office space in Harbin City, PRC for the year 2009 is approximately $25,000. The Company is expecting the corporate headquarters currently under construction to be completed by 2009. As a result, there is no rental commitment made by the Company for the year 2010 and thereafter.

In 2008, before TDR acquired Tianlong, the majority of the Company’s contract sales consisted of products purchased from Tianlong. In 2009, TDR discontinued contract sales as part of its strategic goals. Revenues derived from the sale of a Tianlong product before and after the acquisition have been reallocated to each of the appropriate product categories to present a more appropriate measure of our revenues by product line.

Due to the Company’s acquisitions of Tianlong and Peng Lai, there have been material changes to its product portfolio in the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. For example, due to a shift of the Company’s marketing strategy, while its revenues from the sale of patch products increased, they decreased as a percentage of our overall sales in the first nine months of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

The increase of other products as a percentage of the Company’s overall sales is primarily due to its promotion of Peng Lai’s products, such as Naftopidil Dispersible Tablets, that accounted for approximately 4% of the Company’s total sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as well as certain Tianlong products such as the Compound Camphor Cream, which accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company did not sell any of Peng Lai’s products In fiscal 2008.

Contract sales in 2008 of $6,401,019 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 have been reallocated to each of the appropriate product categories to present a more appropriate measure of our revenues by product line.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in the risk factors and “Forward Looking Statements” summary set forth in the forepart of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“Annual Report”). This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements and is afforded the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers should carefully review the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report and other documents filed by us with the SEC.

DISCUSSION

General

We primarily generate revenues, through our China-based indirect subsidiaries described below, in the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of over-the-counter, branded nutritional supplements and over-the-counter plant and herb based pharmaceutical and medicinal products. Our principal products are external use Traditional Chinese Herbal Remedies/Medicines commonly referred to in the industry as “TCMs.” We have evolved into an integrated manufacturer, marketer and distributor of external use Chinese medicine products sold primarily in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and have been expanding our worldwide sales efforts as well. Historically, we sold both our own manufactured products, as well as medicinal and pharmaceutical products manufactured by others in the PRC. However, at the end of fiscal 2008, we discontinued sales of third party products (contract sales).   

We have achieved continued growth of our line of products. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, total revenue was $43,227,171, a 46% increase over the same period in 2008, and net income was $12,458,940, or $0.74 per share, compared to net income of $9,943,435, or $0.60 per share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total revenue was $100,242,453, a 52% increase over the same period in 2008, and net income was $29,158,771, or $1.76 per common share, compared to net income of $21,919,013, or $1.39 per common share on a diluted basis in the same period in 2008.
 
All of our business is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, American California Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (“ACPG”), a California corporation, which, in turn, wholly owns Harbin Tian Di Ren Medical Science and Technology Company (“TDR”), a company organized in the PRC, and TDR’s subsidiaries. China Sky One Medical, Inc. is a holding company (“China Sky”), organized under the laws of Nevada, and directly owns 100% of ACPG. China Sky and ACPG do not generate any revenues from product sales.

TDR, formerly known as “Harbin City Tian Di Ren Medical Co.,” was originally formed in 1994 with its principal executive office in Harbin City of Heilongjiang Province, in the PRC. TDR was reorganized and incorporated as a limited liability company on December 29, 2000, under the laws of the PRC. At the time of the TDR’s acquisition by ACPG in December of 2005, TDR had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Harbin First Bio-Engineering Company Limited and Kangxi Medical Care Product Factory, until July, 2006, when the two were merged, with Harbin First Bio-Engineering Company Limited (“First” or “Harbin Bio Engineering”) as the surviving subsidiary of TDR.

Year 2008 Business Acquisitions

On April 3, 2008, TDR completed its acquisition of Heilongjiang Tianlong Pharmaceutical, Inc., a corporation with a variety of medicines approved by the PRC’s State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) and new medicine applications, organized under the laws of the PRC (“Tianlong”), which is in the business of manufacturing external-use pharmaceuticals. TDR previously acquired the Beijing sales office of Tianlong in mid-2006. TDR acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tianlong from its sole stockholder, in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8,300,000, consisting of $8,000,000 in cash and 23,850 shares of our common stock.

On April 18, 2008, TDR consummated its acquisition of Heilongjiang Haina Pharmaceutical Inc., a corporation which had been organized under the laws of the PRC (“Haina”), licensed as a wholesaler of TCM, bio-products, medicinal devices, antibiotics and chemical medicines. Haina did not have an established sales network and was acquired for its primary asset, a Good Supply Practice (“GSP”) license (License No. A-HLJ03-010), issued by the Heilongjiang province office of the SFDA. The SFDA recently started issuing such licenses to resellers of medicines that maintain certain quality controls. The GSP license was issued as of December 21, 2006 and will expire on January 29, 2012, and will enable us to expand its sales of medicinal products without having to go through a lengthy license application process. TDR acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Haina from its three stockholders in consideration for payment of approximately $437,000. TDR had been overseeing the operations of Haina Pharmaceutical since January of 2008, as part of our due diligence prior to closing of this acquisition.

On September 5, 2008, TDR acquired Peng Lai Jin Chuang Pharmaceutical Company (“Peng Lai”), a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC, from Peng Lai Jin Chuang Group Corporation (the “Seller”). Peng Lai, which received Good Manufacturing Practice certification from the SFDA, was organized to develop, manufacture and distribute pharmaceutical, medicinal and diagnostic products in the PRC. In connection with the acquisition of Peng Lai, TDR acquired all of Peng Lai’s assets, including, without limitation, franchise, production and operating rights to a portfolio of twenty (20) medicines approved by the SFDA, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.1 million, consisting of approximately $2.5 million in cash and 381,606 shares of our common stock.

Testing Kits and Other Products in Production

As of September 30, 2009, we have 89 products in the market. The majority of our products are TCMs, which are produced in various forms including patches, ointments, sprays, suppositories, injections, tablets, capsules, eye and nasal drops, and syrups.

We also produce and sell diagnostic kits. Our AMI Diagnostic Kit, Human Urinary Albumin Elisa Kit and Early Pregnancy Diagnostic Kit are being sold through drug stores, hospitals, examination stations and independent sales agents throughout the PRC.
 
Our AMI Diagnostic Kit, which entered markets in 2007, is used for early diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction (MI), also known as heart disease. All the test kits require users to place a blood or urine sample on the marker and a positive (+) or negative (-) reaction signal will result, showing if a user should consult his or her doctor for further testing. According to the China Medical Newspaper, several million people die from MI every year. MI often occurs to people who are, but not limited to, smokers, over-weight and diabetic. There are approximately 8 million new MI patients in the PRC every year. Recent medical studies have shown that heart failure or heart attacks are increasing among younger people in the PRC. This is a result from a more modern life style, the fast pace of city life and increased pressure from work or school. The use of AMI Diagnostic Kits will help in early detection that can help in reducing these statistics.

Our Human Urinary Albumin Elisa Kit is designed for testing kidney illness in its very early stage when it is still reversible through right treatment. The kidney illness can be caused by the disorder of other organs. With this Urinary Albumin Elisa Kit, the patient can benefit from an easy testing procedure and be aware of any illness in its very early stage so as to prevent from getting to the irreversible stage.

We are continuing our marketing efforts with respect to these testing kits which have contributed to increase sales of these products in 2009 versus 2008. Sales of these products during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $9,411,281 and $6,398,220, respectively.

We have been focusing on increasing the sales of our current product portfolio and have not introduced any significant new products into the market in fiscal 2009.

Summary of Our Research and Development Activities

We currently conduct all of our research and development (“R&D”) activities, either internally or through collaborative arrangements with universities and research institutions in the PRC. We have our own TCM research, development and laboratory facilities located at TDR’s principal executive office.

At present, our ongoing research is divided into five general areas:
 
·
the development of an enzyme linked immune technique to prepare extraneous diagnostic kits;

·
the development of an enzyme linked gold colloid technique to prepare extraneous rapid diagnostic test strip;

·
the development of a gene recombination technique to prepare gene drug;

·
the development of a biology protein chip for various tumor diagnostic applications; and

·
the development of a cord blood stem cell bank, as more fully described in other reports we filed.

We are also working on several other projects including Monoclonal Antibody, Endostatin and Microalbuminuria, Technology of Percutaneous Absorption, and Technology of a Breast Cancer Drug which is intended to treat lobular hyperplasia in woman. We have been collaborating with Harbin Medical University and its Clinical Science Centres to complete all our clinical trials.

In addition, we are also working to establish a stem cell bank within our new research and development facility as part of our construction in progress project for our new corporate headquarters located in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, PRC. Management believes each of these projects may have high market potential that will contribute to future cash flow through our existing and developing market channels covering both domestic and international markets.

The Company incurred research and development costs of $10,979,619 and $3,881,312 during each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increased research and development costs are mainly due to the projects from the businesses we acquired in fiscal 2008, as well as the projects we acquired in the last quarter of 2008, such as the Monoclonal Antibody and Technology of Breast Cancer Drug.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received government grant of $838,242 for our research and development projects. This government grant is offset by the total research and development cost in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We did not have any government grant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Due to continuous advancements in technology, management cannot guarantee any of the above research and development activities will be successful or generate future revenues.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our methodologies and assumptions used to derive these estimates. Estimates include the reserve allowance for doubtful accounts and inventories, our impairment test for long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes and contingencies and the remaining useful lives of our long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates include the following:

 
26

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. Accounting standards require that if an impairment indicator is present, we must assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is unrecoverable by estimating the sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the asset, undiscounted and without interest charges. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge must be recognized based on the fair value of the asset.
 
As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We have deemed our temporary tax differences related to our principal business operations in the PRC to be immaterial. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent that we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include a tax provision or reduce our tax benefit in the statements of operations. We use our judgment to determine our provision or benefit for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We believe, based on a number of factors including the continued historical operating losses of China Sky and ACPG, that we will not realize the future benefits of a significant portion of our net deferred tax assets and we have accordingly provided a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. However, various factors may cause those assumptions to change in the near term.
 
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
 
We review our accounting policies on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with GAAP. Our most significant accounting policies are those related to intangible assets and research and development.

Intangible assets – Our intangible assets consist of patents and goodwill. Patent costs are amortized over an estimated life of approximately ten years which management believes is the estimated life span of our patents. Although patent related to the drug lot number may still actively generate revenue beyond 10 years time span, the amortization period will be within the 10 years.
 
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized while intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment. Accordingly, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, we evaluate the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment costs, if any, are measured by comparing the carrying amount of the related assets to their fair value.

We have registered the trademark “Kang Xi” in the PRC. However, we have never had an appraisal done on this trademark or assigned any value to it. Additionally, none of the costs associated with the trademark have been capitalized.

As of September 30, 2009, the weighted average amortization period of our patents is 9 years.
 
Research and development—Research and development expenses include the costs associated with the Company’s internal research and development as well as research and development conducted by third parties. These costs primarily consist of salaries, clinical trials, outside consultants, and materials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  

Third-party expenses reimbursed under non-refundable research and development contracts are recorded as a reduction to research and development costs in the statement of operations.

 
27

 

Assets to be used in research and development activities, specifically, compounds that have yet to receive new drug approval and would have no alternative use, should approval not be given, are immediately charged to expense when acquired. Certain assets and high technologies acquired that has a foreseeable future cash flows are capitalized as intangible assets. Such intangible assets are amortized starting from the year revenue is generated and amortized over its estimated life. If a capitalized intangible asset is deemed to have no future benefit, the unamortized carrying value will be expensed.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we incurred $4,884,925 and $1,866,409, respectively, in research and development expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we incurred $10,979,619 and $3,881,312, respectively, in research and development expense. The increased research and development costs are mainly due to the projects from the businesses we acquired in fiscal 2008, as well as the projects we acquired in the last quarter of 2008, such as the Monoclonal Antibody and Technology of Breast Cancer Drug.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received government grant of $838,242 for our research and development projects. This government grant is offset by the total research and development cost in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We did not have any government grant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Trends and Uncertainties

In 2008, general worldwide economic conditions declined due to sequential effects of the sub prime lending crisis, general credit market crisis, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. However, since all of our business operations, and most of our sales, are currently conducted in the PRC, we have not been greatly affected by the economic downtown.

We have benefited from the overall economic development in the PRC in recent years and the increase in the number of elderly people in China, which together have resulted in increased expenditures on medicine in the PRC, including TCMs.

In fiscal 2007, our sales model was focused on the creation of our own distribution channels. Therefore, we sold products directly to many smaller distributors and retail store locations. In fiscal 2008, we changed our business model and entered into distribution agreements with larger regional sales agents, who resell to smaller distributors and retail store locations. In addition, we entered into contracts with nationwide chain pharmacies, such as Nepstar, Tong Ren Tang, Jin Xiang, and Ren Min Tong Tai. Through the extensive sales networks of these nationwide chains, we are able to reach all major metropolitan areas throughout the PRC. These changes to our product distribution channels resulted in our direct customer base decreasing from 943 customers at December 31, 2007 to 233 customers at December 31, 2008.

Our change of sales strategy in fiscal 2008 was initiated to improve product channel efficiencies, and to give us access to an increased number of ultimate purchasers. We believe that these changes will lead to further increased revenue by extending the reach of its distribution network. We also believe that, by reducing the number of customers we sell to directly, we will be able to streamline our accounts receivable management and collection, and reduce channel distribution costs. These favorable cost variances are expected to be partially offset by product price incentives we grant to the larger agents with which we have contracted.

In fiscal 2007, 26.4% of our total revenues, or $12,998,152, was attributable to sales of other manufacturers’ products on a contract basis. One of the main manufacturers for which we resold products was Tianlong. On April 3, 2008, we acquired Tianlong and were able to fully integrated Tianlong’s products, which we had been previously selling on a contract basis, into our marketing and distribution channels. Following the acquisition of Tianlong we continued to phase out our contract sales and, as of the end of fiscal 2008, we no longer sell other company’s products on a contract basis.

Total revenues increased approximately $13.5 million or 46% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 2008. Our revenue increase is primarily attributable to strong performances from our sales distribution channels, due to our hiring of additional direct territory managers and sales agents to assure that our products and their associated benefits are seen by those making or influencing the purchasing decisions. In addition, the increases are due to several successful business acquisitions we consummated in 2008, as previous discussed.

We acquired Tianlong on April 3, 2008. Tianlong’s product sales amounted to $17,745,209 and $5,456,458 respectively for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The primary reason for this increase was that, following the acquisition, we were able to fully integrate Tianlong’s products, which we had been previously selling on a contract basis, into our marketing and distribution channels and increase overall sales.

We acquired Peng Lai on September 5, 2008. Peng Lai’s product sales amounted to $3,789,992 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Peng Lai had nominal production prior to our acquisition. Following the acquisition of Peng Lai, we started to promote Peng Lai’s products through our own nationwide sales channel.

Primarily all of our sales are made in the PRC. Our overseas sales accounted for 10.5% and 6.5% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We intend to put more effort behind promoting our products to the overseas market by locating more qualified overseas sales agents.

Overall, our product gross margins were at approximately 74.8% and 75.2% during each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our lower product gross margins in 2009 versus 2008 were principally attributable to our reduction in the sales prices of certain of our products to be competitive in the PRC market.

In 2008, before TDR acquired Tianlong, the majority of our contract sales consisted of products purchased from Tianlong. In 2009, TDR discontinued contract sales as part of its strategic goals. Revenues derived from the sale of a Tianlong product before and after the acquisition have been reallocated to each of the appropriate product categories to present a more appropriate measure of our revenues by product line.

Due to our acquisitions of Tianlong and Peng Lai, there have been material changes to our product portfolio in the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. For example, due to a shift of our marketing strategy, while our revenues from the sale of patch products increased, they decreased as a percentage of our overall sales in the first nine months of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Despite this decrease, all 5 of our patch products are still ranked in the top 10 of our best selling products.

The increase of other products as a percentage of our overall sales is primarily due to our promotion of Peng Lai’s products, such as Naftopidil Dispersible Tablets, that accounted for approximately 4% of our total sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as well as certain Tianlong products such as the Compound Camphor Cream, which accounted for approximately 13% of our total sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009. We did not sell any of Peng Lai’s products In fiscal 2008.

Operating Expenses
 
The following table summarizes the changes in our operating expenses from $9,771,385 to $16,299,744 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively:

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $447,000 as compared to $308,000 during the same period in 2008. The higher costs in 2009 are primarily attributable to the additional depreciation and amortization costs associated with the long-lived assets acquired under our 2008 strategic business acquisitions.

Research and development expenses were approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increased research and development costs in 2009 are primarily associated with the projects from our acquired subsidiaries as well as the projects we acquired during the last quarter of 2008 such as the Monoclonal Antibody and Technology of Breast Cancer Drug.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus $7.6 million for the same period in 2008. The higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to higher overhead costs to support our increased revenue base in year 2009 and increased marketing and selling costs to support our revenue growth from $30.0 million in 2008 to $43.2 million in 2009. Advertising and promotional costs amounted to $5,031,001 and $2,091,802, respectively, for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The increases were primarily due to our more aggressive advertising campaign. However, while the amount of selling, general and administrative expenses have increased, they have remained consistent as a percentage of revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008

Our principal business operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, TDR, and TDR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

We acquired Tianlong on April 3, 2008. Tianlong’s product sales amounted to $31,882,420 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $8,808,400 from the date of the acquisition, April 3, 2008, to September 30, 2008. Revenue derived from Tianlong contract sales prior to our acquisition was $1,434,087. The primary reason for this increase was that, following the acquisition, we were able to fully integrate Tianlong’s products, which we had been previously selling on a contract basis, into our marketing and distribution channels and increase overall sales.

We acquired Peng Lai on September 5, 2008. Peng Lai’s product sales amounted to $7,374,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Peng Lai had nominal production prior to our acquisition. Following the acquisition of Peng Lai, we started to promote Peng Lai’s products into our own sales channel nationwide.

Our overseas sales accounted for 8.9% and 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We intend to put more effort in promoting our products to the overseas market by locating more qualified overseas sales agents.

Overall, our product gross margins were at 75.4% and 76.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our lower product gross margins in 2009 versus 2008 were principally attributable to our reduction in the sales prices of certain of our products to be competitive in the PRC market.
