vinces through local
wholesalers. Revenues generated by another core OTC product, Tianqi Capsule,
which treats dysmenorrhea and bloating for women, increased 25.3% to
approximately $1.4 million from the second quarter of 2008. The increase in
sales of Tianqi Capsule was mainly due to the continued implementation of the
"new rural cooperative medical supply network plan" which markets directly to
consumers in China's rural area through retail pharmacies.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was
approximately $3.5 million or 26.5% of revenue as compared to approximately
$4.0 million or 42.8% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company yielded gross profits of $9.7 million and gross margins of
73.5%, compared to $5.4 million of gross profits and a gross margin of 57.2%
during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross profits grew by 80.5% on a
year-over-year basis. The increase in gross profit was a result of increased
revenue in Xin Aoxing Capsule and Tainqi Capsule and a decrease in raw
material prices of Xin Aoxing Capsule and Danshen Granule. The Sichuan
province, the main region where herbs are cultivated for raw materials used in
manufacturing several of Biostar's OTC medicines, has resumed production after
recovering from the earthquake. During the second quarter of 2009, gross
margin of three products is over 50%, Xin Aoxing Capsule (84%), Tianqi Capsule
(64%) and Taohuasan Pediatrics Medicine (65%).
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were
approximately $4.3 million, up 26.6% from $3.4 million in the same period of
2008. The increase was primarily a result of Biostar's expanded marketing
efforts, including increased costs for TV advertising, promotion, and
commission associated with an expanded sales force.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2009 totaled approximately $5.5
million, a 170.8% increase from
