Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was approximately $14.9 million, an increase of 47.9% compared to $10.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

“Our strong performance in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2010 was driven by continued execution of our growth strategy, including the expansion of our sales force and distribution channels, increased sales and marketing activities to support market share gains for our expanding portfolio of products, in addition to rapid utilization of our newly added manufacturing capacity,” stated Dr. Guoqing Jiang, Tianyin’s Chief Executive Officer. “To facilitate our future growth strategy and to diversify our product offering, we formalized a joint venture named Sichuan Jiangchuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to produce macrolide antibiotics, which addresses a large and rapidly growing market in China. We have secured the property and commenced construction for our new production facility and expect this to be a key contributor to growth during fiscal 2011. In addition, we received SFDA approval for four new generic products, which complement our portfolio and address established billion dollar plus markets that cover multiple indications. We currently have 40 drug candidates under SFDA review and believe the Chinese stimulus plan, favorable health care policies, increased consumer disposable income, and favorable demographic trends will continue driving overall growth in demand for the pharmaceutical market.”
