Medical, Inc. (“China Sky One Medical” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CSKI), a
leading fully integrated pharmaceutical company in
China
net income, excluding the impact of derivative warrant liabilities, are
expected to be lower than its previous financial guidance as a result of the
termination of several major distributor relationships.
Specifically, the Company has lowered its 2010 revenue guidance from a
prior range of
million
excluding the impact of derivative warrant liabilities, from between
million and $41 million
Management’s reduced guidance reflects the termination of relationships
with certain private distributors, who after several rounds of discussions,
chose to end their cooperation with the Company after learning that their
business information was disclosed in the Company’s public SEC filings and
would continue to be disclosed in such documents as required by SEC
regulations. This disclosure, these distributors claim, has led to increased
scrutiny of their financial performance by government authorities within
While the Company expects to replace these lost distribution arrangements over
time, revenue and net income in the second half of 2010 are expected to be
negatively impacted by the disruption in distribution channels. The Company
expects to incur higher selling and marketing costs during second half 2010 to
develop new distributor relationships.
Separately, the Company announced the resignation of its CFO, Mr.
Hao
retain his position as Company Director and Board Secretary. Mr. Yu-kun Zhang,
the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, will continue to
oversee the accounting and finance functions, while the Company actively
searches for a new CFO.
“We are disappointed with the decision by several of our larger
distributors to end their cooperation with China Sky One,” commented Mr.
this lost business over time by building new relationships with reputable
provincial and national distributors. In addition, we want to thank
Hao
continued contributions in a role that will allow him to address his health
issues. We are actively seeking a qualified successor with a strong background
in US GAAP accounting and the capital markets to provide effective leadership
for our finance team and support China Sky One’s future expansion.”
