1                BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

  

Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“the Company” or “Aoxing Pharma”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company specializing in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of a variety of narcotic, pain-management, and addiction treatment pharmaceutical products.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had one operating subsidiary: Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (“Hebei”), which is organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).  As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 95% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hebei.

 

Since 2002, Hebei has been engaged in developing narcotic, pain management, and addiction treatment pharmaceutical products, building its facilities and obtaining the requisite licenses from the Chinese Government.  Headquartered in Shijiazhuang City, the pharmaceutical capital of China, outside of Beijing, Hebei now has China's largest and the most advanced manufacturing facility for highly regulated narcotic medicines, addressing a very under-served and fast-growing market in China. Its facility is one of the few GMP facilities licensed for manufacturing narcotics medicines. The Company is working closely with the Chinese government and CFDA to assure the strictly regulated availability to medical professionals throughout China of its narcotic drugs and pain medicines.

 

In April, 2008, Hebei completed the acquisition of 100% of the registered capital of Lerentang (“LRT”).  LRT was engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Chinese traditional medicines focusing on pain management related therapeutics within China.  By 2011 the manufacturing operations of LRT had been completely integrated into Hebei.  Currently over 90% of the Company’s revenues derive from one herbal extraction, obtained from the acquisition of LRT, which is used to alleviate oral/dental and bone pain. 

 

Investment in Joint Venture (“JV”)

 

On April 26, 2010, Aoxing Pharma and Johnson Matthey Plc (‘JM”) entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture focused on research, development, manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients for narcotics and neurological drugs for the China market. The joint venture represents a significant new opportunity for both companies to expand their business in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical market in China.  Under the terms of the agreement, Macfarlan Smith Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Plc, headquartered in the United Kingdom, will contribute technology expertise and capital to the joint venture. Hebei will contribute capital, fixed assets and related active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturing licenses. The joint venture company is called Hebei Aoxing API Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“API”).  Hebei Aoxing has a 51% stake in API, while Macfarlan Smith (Hong Kong) Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of JM) holds 49%. Each company has equal representation on the board of directors that will oversee a management team responsible for corporate strategies and operations.  The new joint venture is located on the Hebei campus in Xinle City, 200 kilometers southwest of Beijing.  On March 10, 2010, the joint venture obtained a business license from the City Industry & Commercial Administrative Bureau. The Company accounts for its investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.
