Biostar Pharma Announces its Quarterly Results for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

The Company had no sales on all Aoxing Pharmaceutical products in the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017 as Aoxing Pharmaceutical temporarily stopped production to conduct maintenance of its production lines to renew its GMP certificates.

 
[20-November-2017]
 
 

XIANYANG, China, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a PRC-based manufacturer and marketer of pharmaceutical and health supplement products in China for a variety of diseases and conditions, today announced its financial results for third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

During the third fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company recognized:

  • No net sales, a decrease of approximately $0.6 million or 100% as compared to the same period in 2016.
  • No gross profit, a decreased of approximately $0.3 million or 100% as compared to the same period in 2016.
  • Net loss of $0.1 million as compared to net loss of $1.6 million for the same period in 2016.

The Company had no sales on all Aoxing Pharmaceutical products in the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017 as Aoxing Pharmaceutical temporarily stopped production to conduct maintenance of its production lines to renew its GMP certificates. The application for the renewal of Aoxing Pharmaceutical's GMP certificates has been preliminarily approved and publicly announced by the local government in October 2017, subject to the final approval to be granted before the end of 2017, at which time the production is expected to resume. There is no assurance that the production lines at Aoxing will resume as and when expected and that the GMP certificates will be renewed as and when anticipated, or even if such certificates are renewed, the Company will be able to return to the anticipated production levels, which, in turn, may have material adverse effects on the Company's business, operations, financial performance and value of its securities. The Company also had no sales on Shaanxi Weinan's products during the second quarter of 2017 due to replacing production equipment to comply with government's environmental protection requirements. The Company currently anticipates resuming the production of Shaanxi Weinan production lines before the end of 2017. The above-referenced suspensions of the Company's production lines have materially negatively affected the Company's operating results; as a result, there may be substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to renew its GMP certificates and resume production as and when anticipated, its operations will be materially negatively affected and the Company might become insolvent, and the Company's revenues, operations and the value of its common stock and common stock equivalents would be materially negatively impacted; the Company may substantially curtail or cease its operations.

Please also refer the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for further information regarding the Company's results of operations, including updated risk factors facing the Company.
