CPHI | August 15, 2013

HAIKOU CITY, China, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- China Pharma Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CPHI) ("China Pharma", the "Company" or "we"), an NYSE MKT listed corporation with its fully-integrated specialty pharmaceutical subsidiary based in China, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter Highlights

Revenue decreased 45% to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 from $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Gross profit was $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of approximately $2.0 million compared to $4.1 million gross profit in the second quarter of 2012.
Net loss was $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $1.8 million net income in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $6.2 million. Earnings (loss) per common share was ($0.10) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 compared with $0.04 per share in the same period last year.
The Company entered an eight-year construction loan facility with a bank on June 21, 2013. The total loan amount is RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $13 million), and currently bears interest at 7.205%. We utilized RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $4.86 million) of the facility through August 10, 2013.

"In the second quarter of 2013, we continued to execute our prudent marketing strategy to a more stringent screening of existing and potential distributors and hospital customers in terms of speed of payment in order to gradually improve our trade pattern, especially in terms of the collection of our accounts receivable. This strategy temporarily impacts our sales in the current period." Ms. Zhilin Li, China Pharma's Chairman and CEO continued, "We feel glad that we entered an eight-year construction loan facility with a bank on June 21, 2013. The total loan facility amount is RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $13 million), and the advance is being used to fund construction of our new GMP upgrading project. We already completed the overall architectural structure of our new GMP facility; and are progressing according to our plan to continue to construct the new facility and ancillary projects. With the support from bank loan, we are more confident that the new-GMP upgrading will be accomplished in good quality."

Second Quarter 2013 Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $8.0 million, a decrease of 45% from revenue of $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Given the capital expenditure pressure from 2013 new GMP upgrade project, we have to control credit expansion in the market. This tightening marketing strategy has negatively impacted our revenue.

The most significant revenue decrease in terms of dollar amount was in our "Anti-Viro/Infection & Respiratory" product category, which generated $4.1 million in sales revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.7 million a year ago, a decrease of $2.6 million. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the sales of our two antibiotic products, Roxithromycin and Clarithromycin. Sales of the "CNS Cerebral & Cardio Vascular" category decreased by $2.1 million to $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4.1 million in the previous year period. This was mainly due to decrease in sales of Gastrodin and the CFDA notice on Bufomedil. The CFDA issued a nationwide notice for the cessation of the production, sale and use of Buflomedil effective immediately in March 2013. The Company ceased the production and sale of this product. Our "Digestive Diseases" category generated $1.0 million of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1.7 million in the previous year period, or a decrease of $0.7 million. Our "Other" product category sales fell to $1.0 million from $2.1 million, a decrease of $1.1million.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.2 million, while gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $4.1 million. Our gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2013 was 27%, compared to 28% in the second quarter of 2012. The Healthcare Reform instituted by the Chinese government since 2009 has resulted in margin compression in most pharmaceutical products on the markets today, especially in the generic space that many of our products are in. The decrease of sales and continued increases of the purchase price of raw materials attributed to the decrease of gross profit. Going forward, we expect to see continued pricing pressure on most products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were $2.2 million, or 27% of sales, compared to $1.7 million, or 12% of sales, in the second quarter of 2012. This increase was mainly due to the expenses incurred related to technology upgrades and production process improvements of some of our existing marketed products in this period. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $4.8 million bad debt expenses, compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2012.

Our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $4.8 million, compared to operating income of $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $7.0 million. The main reasons for the decrease were lower revenue and increase in bad debt expense.

In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we paid income tax at the rate of 15%. Income tax benefit was $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013; and income tax expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. As a result of lower revenue, we have net operating loss carry forwards of $4.9 million which, under Chinese tax law can be "carried forward" for 5 years.

Net loss for three months ended June 30, 2013 was $4.5 million, or a loss per basic and diluted common share of ($0.10), compared to net income of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, or earnings per basic and diluted common share of $0.04.The decrease in net income was mainly due to the decrease in revenue and the increase in bad debt expense.

Six Months Results

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $16.3 million, down 47% from revenue of $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.6 million, down 94% from gross profit of $9.4 million for the corresponding period of 2012. Operating loss was $7.8 million, down $13.4 million from operating income of $5.6 million for the first six months of 2012. Net loss was $7.3 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million compared to $4.0 million as of December 31, 2012. Working capital decreased to $86.6 million as of June 30, 2013 from $97.9 million as of December 31, 2012 and the current ratio was 7.0 times as of June 30, 2013 compared to 7.7 times as of December 31, 2012.

Accounts receivable balance decreased to $55.4 million at June 30, 2013 from $66.2 million at December 31,2012. Our receivable decreased due to decreased sales, the improved performance of our collection of accounts receivable and an increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash flow from operating activities was $3.1 million, as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
