The increase was attributable to higher sales of both existing and new products, channel expansion efforts that increased market penetration, and increased utilization of the Company's expanded production facility. Revenues from the top three selling products, Ginkgo Mihuan Oral Liquid, Arpu Shuangxin Oral Liquid and Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets, were $7.6 million and represented approximately 51% of total revenues collectively for the quarter. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $7.2 million or 48.1% of revenue as compared to $4.9 million or 49.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008, yielding a gross profit of $7.8 million and gross margins of 51.9%, compared to $5.2 million in gross profit and gross margins of 51.0% during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross margins improved as a result of an increase in higher margin products in the sales mix along with greater efficiencies in our production and manufacturing processes. Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $4.6 million, up 72.0% compared to the same period in 2008. Selling, general and administration expenses for the period increased to approximately $4.4 million from $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of the implementation of Tianyin's sales and marketing strategy, including increased sales payrolls and direct marketing expenses, in addition to non-cash stock compensation expense of $0.9 million. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased 134.4% to $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled approximately $3.2 million, a 27.2% increase from the $2.5 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Operating margins were 21.1% and 24.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively as the Company continued to spend aggressively on sales and marketing initiatives to generate incremental and future product sales. GAAP net income was approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a 24.8% increase, compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The company had an effective tax rate of 18.2% and 16.6%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.08 compared to $0.13 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 respectively, based upon 30.4 million and 15.7 million shares. Adjusted net income, which adds back the non-cash equity compensation charge of $0.9 million, was $3.4 million, representing 62.0% year-over year growth with earnings of $0.11 per diluted share. The divergence in the share count relates to the preferred shares which have been and are convertible into common, in addition to common shares issued in October 2009 private placement, and warrants both exercised and outstanding. "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."

Jiangchuan holds a license from Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to produce macrolide antibiotics and a related business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and Tax department. Tianyin owns 77% of Jiangchuan and will utilize this as the foundation for a broader, longer term strategy to build a significant presence in the rapidly growing Chinese macrolide antibiotics market, while diversifying its revenue base of western pharmaceuticals. Construction on a new production facility in Xinjin Industry Development Area commenced January 8, 2010, with Phase I expected to operational by July, 2010 and Phase II to be operational by the second half of 2010, with total anticipated capital expenditures of $20 million.

The Pediatric Fever and Cough Oral Liquid is a generic prescription TCM that is used for respiratory tract infections and influenza in children to effectively reduce symptoms such as fever, shakes, cough, shortness of breath, and sore throat. According to Tianyin's market research and estimation, annual sales of this type of products are approximately $1.1 billion in China. The Antibacterial/Anti-inflammatory Capsules are a generic OTC TCM used as natural antibiotics to treat bacterial infection and inflammation with minimal side effects as compared to western antibiotics. Tianyin estimates that total annual sales of associated with products in this category are approximately $1.5 billion in China. -- Tianyin announced that 23 of its medicine compounds were included in the 2009 Edition of the National Basic Medical Insurance, Industrial Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance Medicine Directory, which lists a total of 2,151 medicines and became effective on December 1, 2009. The 23 medicines treat a variety of common indications and diseases and make up approximately 70% of Tianyin's total revenues for the fiscal year 2009. -- On January 11, 2010, Tianyin declared a quarterly cash dividend of 2.5 cents to be paid to its common stock shareholders for the fiscal second quarter of 2010 on March 10, 2010. -- On January 13, 2010, Tianyin received approvals from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to produce two generic antibiotics, Ofloxacin Tablets and Fleroxacin Tablets, which target new indications for the Company.
