NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 18, 2008 -- China Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (OTC BB:CAXG.OB - News) ("China Aoxing"), a China-based pharmaceutical company specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of narcotic and pain-management products, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ended on September 30, 2008.
Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2008
-- Revenues increased 161% year over year to $3.60 million, driven by the
contribution from our newly acquired subsidiary, LRT.
-- Gross profit reached $1.94 million, an increase of $0.91 million, or
120%, year over year, reflecting higher net sales as well as the
contribution of our newly acquired subsidiary, LRT.
-- Net income was $0.63 million, or $0.008 per share, as compared to the
$1.81 million reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.Mr. Juan Yue Han, China Aoxing's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, stated, "We are pleased with our financial performance. The quarter, which seasonally is our weakest, was also adversely affected by the proximity of our factory to the site of the Beijing Olympic Games, which caused significant logistical problems and sharply increased expenses for utilities and shipping. On the other hand, we are continuing our integration efforts for our newly acquired subsidiary, LRT. Going forward, we expect to continue improving our profitability, as well as accelerating our R&D efforts in narcotic drug pipeline."
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash of $1.30 million. This compares to $1.57 million as of September 30, 2007.

In addition, the maturity date of the Company's bank debt was extended to December 31, 2009 with an outstanding balance in the amount of $6.09 million. The Company continues its negotiation with its loan issuer for further loan forgiveness and reduction.
Business Highlights
-- China Aoxing continues moving forward its clinical trial development
programs, under SFDA filings, including Tilidine, Codeine Phosphate, and
other narcotic drug products. The Company is planning to report the
clinical results once available.
-- The Company is accelerating the development in its laboratory of
additional 5 new products using novel and more effective drug delivery
technologies, such as oral film. The Company expects to file application
with the SFDA on these products in proprietary forms and initiate clinical
trials in year 2009.
