Explanatory Note

 

On March 31, 2020, China SXT Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a report on Form 6-K to report that the Company relied on an order issued by the Commission on March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), and avail itself a 45-day extension for filing of its interim financial statements on Form 6-K for the six months ended on September 30, 2019 (the “Original Report”), which is originally due on March 31, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Original Report, as filed with the Commission on April 22, 2020. This Amendment is furnished by the Company solely to disclose that the Company had filed the Original Report after March 31, 2020 in reliance on the Order.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” Jiangsu Province, where we conduct a substantial part of our business, was materially impacted by the COVID-19. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closures of our offices and production, and having employees work remotely. Our on-site work was not resumed until mid-March, 2020 upon the approval from the local government. As a result of the above-mentioned factors, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delay in preparation, compilation and completion of the Original Report.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the information in, or exhibits to, the Original Report, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent developments or events. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

  Revenues declined by $0.70 million, or 17.9%, for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to $3.22 million from $3.92 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Revenues decline were attributable to Advanced TCMP product types demand adjustment made by some customers but were partially offset by the engagement of new Fine TCMP customers and 4 solid beverage products as part of the Company’s TCM Homologous Supplements (“TCMHS”) products that were developed and commercially launched in April 2019. Decline in revenue was primarily due to procurement adjustment of existing customers such as hospitals.

 

  GAAP gross profit decreased by 31.3% to $1.84 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.68 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin declined by 11.2 percentage points to 57.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from 68.4% for the same period of the prior fiscal year mainly due to packaging requirement changes that drove up Regular TCMP cost of revenues. Gross profit decline was resulted from revenue decline, change of packaging requirements, and product types combination, i.e. smaller or bigger packaging, that led to increase in production cost and cost of revenues.

 

  GAAP operating loss was $0.22 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to GAAP operating income of $1.33 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year as a result of revenues decline and increased packaging cost.

 

  Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.09 million for the six months ended September 30 after adjusted for depreciation and amortization, 2019 compared to non-GAAP operating income of $1.43 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

  GAAP net loss was $2.35 million, or ($0.10) per share, for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $1.00 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year owing to $1.67million of Convertible Notes interest and expenses, $0.22 million of Investor Relations and US legal fees that were not in the same period of prior fiscal year.

 

  Non-GAAP net loss was $0.67 million, or ($0.03) per share after adjusted for depreciation, intangibles amortization, accretion of convertible notes finance cost and convertible notes interest for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

  Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.66 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.43 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

We generated revenues primarily from manufacture and sales of three types of traditional Chinese medicine pieces (the “TCMP”) products: Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP, Regular TCMP, and TCM Homologous Supplements (“TCMHS”) products. TCMHS is a classification of health-supporting food used traditionally in China as TCM but which are also consumed as food, which recently has been developed and commercialized.

Revenues

 

We generated revenues primarily from manufacture and sales of three types of traditional Chinese medicine pieces (the “TCMP”) products: Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the total revenues decreased by $0.7 million, or 17.9%, to $3.22 million from $3.92 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease in total revenues was primarily due to the decrease in sales of Advanced TCMP products and were partly offset by the increase in the sales of Fine TCMP products and newly launched Homologous Supplements (“TCMHS”), a classification of health-supporting food used traditionally in China as TCM but also consumed as food. As for the TCMHS, the company has developed and commercially launched four solid beverage products in April 2019.

 

Regular TCMP

 

We currently manufacture 427 Regular TCMP products listed on China Pharmacopoeia (version 2015) Part I for hospitals and drug stores in treatment of various diseases or serving as dietary supplements. Sales of Regular TCMP products decreased by $0.32 million, or 19.8%, to $1.30 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.62 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease in sales of Regular TCMP products is consistent with the company’s plan to shift from low margin Regular TCMPs and to focus more on the business of high margin Fine and Advanced TCMPs.

 

5 

 

 

 

Fine TCMP

 

We currently produce over 20 Fine TCMP products for drug stores and hospitals. Our Fine TCMP products are manufactured manually only from the high-quality authentic ingredients derived from their regions of origin. Sales of Fine TCMP products increased by $0.48 million, or 274.8%, to $0.66 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $0.18 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The exponential growth in sales was attributable to engagement of a new major customer.

 

Advanced TCMP

 

Advanced TCMP is comprised of 8 Directly Oral TCMP products (the “Directly-Oral-TCMP”) and 9 After-soaking-oral TCMP products (the “After-Soaking-Oral-TCMP”). Both Directly Oral TCMP and After-soaking-oral TCMP are new types of Advanced TCMP. Sales of Advanced TCMP products decreased by $1.02 million, or 48.2%, to $1.10 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.12 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease in sales of Advanced TCMP products of $1.02 million was due to product types demand adjustment made by some customers and was partially offset by the increased sales of Fine TCMP and newly launched 4 solid beverage products that contributed $0.16 million.

 

TCMHS Solid Beverages

 

Four solid beverage products as part of the Company’s TCMHS products were developed and commercially launched in April 2019 and generated $0.16 million revenues in its nascent launch with encouraging growth.

 

Sales of Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP, Regular TCMP, and TCMHS products accounted for 34.2%, 20.4%, 40.4%, and 5% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 54.2%, 4.5%, 41.3%, and 0% of total revenues, respectively, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Gross profit

 

Cost of revenues primarily include cost of materials, direct labors, overhead, and other related incidental expenses that are directly attributable to the Company’s principal operations. Total cost of goods sold increased by $0.14 million, or 11%, to $1.38 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.24 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increase in cost of revenues was driven by change of packaging requirements and product types combination that led to increase in production cost.

 

Gross profit decreased by $0.84 million, or 31.3%, to $1.84 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.68 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin was 57.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 68.4% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Operating income

 

Selling expenses primarily consisted of transportation, sales staff payroll, welfare expenses, travelling expenses, advertisement and promotion expenses, and distribution expenses. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, selling expenses decreased by $0.06 million, or 7.6%, to $0.77 million from $0.84 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to the combined effect of a decrease in revenues of $0.70 million.

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consisted of staff payroll and welfare expenses, research and development, entertainment expenses, travelling expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses for administrative purposes, and office supply expenses. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.77 million, or 150.4%, to $1.29 million from $0.51 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increase in general and administrative expenses was related to an increase of $0.09 million in research and development expense, an increase of $0.22 million in legal and investor relations fees, $0.19 million repairs and maintenance expenses.

 

As a result, total operating expenses increased by $0.71 million, or 52.4%, to $2.06 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.35 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Operating income decreased by $1.55 million, or 116.6%, to $0.22 million operating loss for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.33 million operating income for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Operating margin was -6.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 33.9% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease in operating margin was primarily due to decrease in gross margin, increase in operating expenses after initial public offering, etc.

 

Finance cost increased by $2.17 million, or 144,707.7%, to $2.17 million interest cost for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1,501 interest income for the same period of the prior fiscal year attributable to $1.67 million and $0.47 million of Convertible Notes accretion of finance cost and interest expense.

 

Income before income taxes

 

Total net other loss, which includes interest income and expenses, and other non-operating income, was $2.13 million, netting other expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $517 net other income for the same period of the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to $1.67 million of Convertible Notes interest, issuance cost, debt discount, and transaction cost amortization.

6 

 

 

Income before income taxes decreased by $3.68 million, or 277.3%, to $2.35 million loss before income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.33 million income before income taxes for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decrease was primarily due to decrease in gross profit, increase in legal and investor relations fees of $0.22 million after IPO, Convertible Notes accretion of finance cost of $1.67 million and interest expense of $0.47 million.

 

Provision for income taxes was $5,166 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.33 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Net income and EPS

 

Net income decreased by $3.34 million, or 336%, to $2.35 million net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2019 from $1 million net income for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Loss per share was ($0.10) for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to earnings per share of $0.05 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Liquidity and Financial Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $8.32 million, compared to $9.29 million at March 31, 2019. Accounts receivable and inventories were $4.57 million and $0.85 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2019, compared to $4.26 million and $1.01 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019. Total current assets and current liabilities were $17.54 million and $10.76 million, respectively, leading to a current ratio of 1.63 as of September 30, 2019. This compared to total current assets and current liabilities of $15.59 million and $6.32 million, respectively, and current ratio of 2.47 at March 31, 2019.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.02 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.47 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increase in prepayments and other receivables.

 

Increase in net cash used in investing activities was attributable to long-term investment of $3.6 million and loan receivable of $1.5 million.

 

Increase in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly driven by convertible notes placement.

 

Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIE only from their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary and VIE in China are required to make annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit to a general reserve fund or statutory reserve fund until such reserve has reached 50% of its registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. Paid in capital of the PRC subsidiary and VIE included in the Company’s condensed consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIE are restricted in their abilities to transfer net assets to the Company in the form of dividends, loans or advances. The Company is expected to focus the operation mainly in PRC and is not expected to have significant operations outside the PRC in the foreseeable future, and is not expected to have significant transfer of cash to and/or from the PRC subsidiary and VIE.

 

According to applicable PRC laws and regulations, a number of conditions must be met before any dividends of a wholly foreign owned enterprise, such as our PRC subsidiary, may be distributed. In accordance with the Implementation Rules of Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law of the PRC promulgated by the State Council, prior to the payment of any dividend, our PRC subsidiary is required to (i) reserve funds from its profit of current accounting year to make up its losses for the previous accounting years, (ii) pay the income taxes pursuant to applicable tax laws of the PRC and (iii) reserve accumulated funds to improve our PRC subsidiary’s ability to withstand operation risks. Therefore, the PRC regulations could conceivably limit the amount of dividends that can be paid by our PRC subsidiary although our PRC subsidiary has historically not paid any dividends. We believe that such limitation will exist in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this filing and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back or removing the following items to or from GAAP net income (loss): depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest (income) and other, and provision for income taxes. We calculate non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income excluding depreciation and amortization. We calculate non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income (loss) excluding intangibles amortization, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, accretion of finance costs on convertible notes, and amortization of interest costs on convertible notes. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The company’s management uses these measures to illustrate underlying trends in the company’s business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of income or expenses that are excluded from non-GAAP measures. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as supplemental information for purposes of understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures set forth herein and attached to this release.

The Outbreak of COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.”   Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures, which have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. These measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19’s outbreak.

 

Jiangsu Province, where we conduct a substantial part of our business, was materially impacted by the COVID-19. We have been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our employees, including the temporary closures of our offices and production, and having employees work remotely. Our on-site work was not resumed until mid-March, 2020 upon the approval from the local government. Due to the extended lock-down and self-quarantine policies in China, we have experienced significant business disruption for the past two and a half months. Some of our employees in other provinces are still subject to the lock-down policy implemented by the local governments and could not return to work. Our production was resumed in mid-March, 2020, and was picking up slowly due to the material impacts of COVID-19 on our logistics. 

 

The  extent to which the COVID-19 continues to impact the Company’s business, sales, and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus, but is likely to result in a material impact on our business operations at least for the near term.
