Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company Inc. Announces Fiscal Year 2010 Financial and Operational Results

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 04, 2010) - Aoxing Pharmaceutical (NYSE Amex: AXN) (“Aoxing Pharma”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on research, development, manufacturing and distribution of narcotic and pain-management products, today announced its financial and operational results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Financial Results:

Revenues for fiscal year 2010 totaled $6.12 million, compared to $8.94 million for fiscal year 2009. The reduction of revenue occurred because the Company consolidated its manufacturing facilities in the summer of 2009, requiring re-certification or the facilities by the Chinese government. For a large part of the year the Company produced only a limited number of products for which it had obtained recertification. The primary contributor to revenue was Zhongtongan, a proprietary and flagship dental pain product, contributing 73% of total product sales.

Operating expenses for fiscal year 2010 were $7.36 million, compared to $10.15 million for fiscal year of 2009. The improvement occurred because the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2.12 million in fiscal year 2009, as well as management’s efforts to improve operational efficiency. As a result, loss from operations for fiscal year 2010 was $3.58 million, or 44% less than the operating loss of $6.35 million in fiscal year 2009.

Net loss for fiscal year 2010 was $0.84 million, or $0.02 per share, 69% reduction than a net loss of $2.70 million or $0.06 per share in fiscal year 2009.

Aoxing Pharma ended the year with $3,99 million in cash, an increase during fiscal year 2010 of $2.71 million. The increase resulted from a private placement in August 2009 that produced net proceeds of nearly $5 million. From that sum, $3.94 million was used for operating activities and $1.79 million for capital investment activities during fiscal year 2010.

Zhenjiang Yue, Aoxing Pharma’s founder, CEO and Chairman, said, “We have entered 2011 with exciting advances in our narcotic and pain management product franchise. We now have a clear path forward to commercialize our own pipeline products, as well as new product opportunities under the international joint venture and product collaborations with our strategic partners, including Johnson Matthey, QRxPharma and Phoenix PharmaLabs, in broader acute, chronic-pain and drug addiction therapeutics. As we focus on these priorities, we continue to manage our financial performance effectively throughout the organization. We effectively worked through the recertification process and have successfully listed on the NYSE Amex, setting us up to continuously build our global business presence in narcotics and CNS related therapeutics in the coming fiscal year 2011.”
