TUSTIN, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMDL, Inc., (NYSE Alternext US: ADL), an international pharmaceutical company with operations in China and the US, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2008, the Company demonstrated strong top-line growth and sales performance. Gross revenues increased over 124%, reaching just over $33.6 million compared to approximately $15 million for the same period in FY2007. The significant growth in revenues was due to an increase in sales of existing products in the growing China healthcare market, which included AMDL's best-selling human placenta extract (HPE)-based skin care product, Domperidone anti-emetic drug, and other high-quality ethical pharmaceutical products.
Gross profits for FY2008 increased to approximately $14.8 million compared to approximately $8.1 million for the same period in FY2007, with a gross profit margin of 52% of net sales as compared to a gross profit of 54% for the same period in FY2007. Gross profits increased approximately US$6.7 million from FY2007 to FY2008, primarily due to continued product sales growth in China.

The non-operating small injectable production line is back in trial production and AMDL expects to resume full production beginning in the second quarter FY2009. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled approximately US$3.3 million compared to a loss of approximately $1.79 million reported for the same period in 2007, an increase of
