NEW YORK, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (NYSE: AOB), ("the Company" or "AOBO"), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to improving health through the development, manufacture and commercialization of a broad range of prescription and over the counter ("OTC") products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Performance

Revenue in the second quarter of 2010 increased 8.5% year over year to $77.3 million from $71.2 million, reflecting continued demand for the Company's core prescription products.

    -- Revenue from pharmaceutical products increased 9.1% to $63.8 million
       from $58.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. Revenue from
       prescription pharmaceutical products increased 20.8% to $30.4 million
       from $25.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the
       increase sales of the Jinji capsule, SHL powder, YYQH capsule and the
       expansion of CCXA generic pharmaceutical products in the rural market.
       The overall increase in sales was supported by our continuous marketing
       efforts, increase in new products offerings, as well as expanding
       coverage in the rural market. OTC pharmaceutical products generated
       $33.4 million in revenue during the second quarter of 2010, compared to
       $33.3 million in the prior year period.
    -- Nutraceutical products generated revenue of approximately $9.9 million
       in the second quarter of 2010, up 4.3% from $9.5 million in the prior
       year period, reflecting increased sales of soybean milk as the market
       expanded.
    -- The Company generated $3.6 million from its distribution business, Nuo
       Hua, in the second quarter of 2010. An increase of 10.0% was mainly
       attributed to Nuo Hua's expanding market coverage.

Gross margin was 51.5%, compared to 58.4% in the prior year period and 52.5% in the prior quarter reflecting a greater proportion of generic product sales in the rural market. Further, the increased purchase prices of certain raw materials increased the cost of sales also contributed to lower gross profit.

Selling and marketing expenses increased 22.4% to $11.5 million from $9.4 million in the prior year period, and advertising expense increased 18.5% to $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $7.8 million in the prior year period.

Working capital was $147.0 million as of June 30, 2010, reflecting an increase of 12.3% from $130.9 million as of December 31, 2009.

Mr. Tony Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Oriental Bioengineering, commented, "AOBO's prescription product division ramped up very quickly in the second quarter of 2010. The double digit growth is a result of our previous investment in new products as well as continued strong demand for existing branded products. During the past quarter, we continued to execute our R&D-driven strategy, which consumed 4.2% of total revenue. Our focus on upgrading existing products and developing new ones will proactively prepare AOB for both near term and long term growth. Furthermore, we continued to strengthen and integrate AOBO's unified mega brand through an effective advertising campaign as well as fortify our presence in rural areas with advanced sales network expansion. Meanwhile, we consistently monitored our inventory of raw materials and assiduously controlled costs, which partially offset the two prevalent influences of rising raw material costs and labor costs. These combined efforts are aimed to help AOBO more effectively adjust to policy changes and capitalize on emerging opportunities."
