10, 2008 NANTONG CITY, China, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Sinobiopharma, Inc. (OTC:SNBP) (BULLETIN BOARD: SNBP) is pleased to
report financial highlights from the complete unaudited financial
results of its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Dong Ying China,
that have been consolidated into Sinobiopharma's financial
statements for the six-month period ended November 30, 2008. The
complete unaudited financial results for the period were filed with
the SEC in Form Q10 on January 14, 2009 and available at
http://www.edgar-online.com/. Financial highlights include: --
Sales revenue increased to $1,902,376 for the six months ended
November 30, 2008 from $583,748 in the corresponding period in
2007. -- Gross profit increased to $1,223,180 (64% of sales
revenue) from $116,009 (20% of revenue). -- Increase in sales
volume and the improvement in gross profit percentage are both due
to growth in sales of Cisatracurium Besylate., a skeletal muscle
relaxant. Sales of this product increased to $1,756,798 in the six
months ended November 30, 2008 from $505,331 in the six months
ended November 30, 2007. -- Operating expenses for the six months
ended November 30, 2008 were $2,115,788, as compared to $366,833
for the six months ended November 30, 2007. The most significant
category of expenses was stock-based compensation of $972,375 in
the six months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $nil in the same
period in 2007, as the Company granted stock options to various
directors, management, employees and consultants upon completing
the reverse acquisition and effectively taking the Dongying
companies public. -- The second most significant expense category
is professional fees, which have increased to $290,109 form $30,036
in the same period of the previous year. The main reason for the
increase is the reverse acquisition, which required a substantial
amount of legal, accounting and audit work to bring the Chinese
companies up to U.S. financial reporting standards and to advise on
and document the legal agreements. -- The Company incurred $280,664
in general and administrative expenses in the six months ended
November 30, 2008, an increase from $148,861 for the six months
ended November 30, 2007. The increase is due to increased
manufacturing, marketing and general activity with the push to gain
market share for the Cisatracurium Besylate product. Salaries and
benefits and travel expenses have increased significantly due to
the same activity. -- The Company had a working capital deficiency
of $3,908,091 at November 30, 2008. The Company plans to raise
capital through sales of shares to provide cash to pay debt of Dong
Ying China and fund further drug product development. Mr. Lequn
Huang, Chairman and CEO of Sinobiopharma Pharmaceutical Group,
commented: "Sinobiopharma achieved significant year-over-year
growth in the six months ending November 30, 2008 in both sales and
gross margin. As we move forward in early 2009, we will continue to
focus on building our portfolio of innovative and first-to-market
drugs through organic growth and acquisitions. We also plan to
enhance our investment in sales and marketing activities to help
Sinobiopharma achieve sustainable, long-term growth." About
