China Sky One to Launch Clot Buster Injection
China Sky One Medical, Inc. (AMEX: CSY) received
production approval for three injected products, including a propyl gallate
injection for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction, coronary heart
disease, thrombosis, dysmenorrheal and nephropathy.
China Sky One
expects to launch its propyl gallate injection product in August. The company
projects that it will produce Q4 revenues of $3 million. A $12 million annual
run rate represents a significant boost for China Sky One, which officially
guided analysts to expect Q2 revenues to hit $19.5 million and full-year 2008
revenues to come in at $82 million. Those numbers were released before the
current approvals, and it was not clear if China Sky One factored the new
revenues into their forecasts.
One of the company’s subsidiaries,
Heilongjiang Tianlong Pharmaceutical, completed the R&D work for eight
different types of injections, including the propyl gallate product. China Sky
One acquired Heilongjiang Tianlong in March, and the acquisition was one reason
cited for an expected 57% increase in revenues during Q2.
Because the
production process for the propyl gallate injection is complex, only seven other
manufacturers in China are currently able to produce it.
China Sky One’s
traditional offerings have been externally applied products, both patch products
and ointments. It has made two acquisitions in 2008 that broadened its
offerings. Beside Heilongjiang Tianlong, China Sky One bought Peng Lai Jin
Chuang Company in June 2008.
