Strengths/Opportunities
Ruinian has a leading position in the rapidly growing amino acid-based nutritional supplement market in China. It had a national market share of 21.6% in 2008 based on total sales in Renminbi. The second largest manufacturer had a market share of 4.5% in 2008, and the five largest manufacturers of amino acid-based nutritional supplements, total y held 33% of the market share in China. Its plans of launching amino acid-based drinks by the end of 2010 should help strengthen its market leader position in this segment. Besides, we expect its high level of gross profit margin in this segment (at 83.6% in 9M 2009) to be maintained in the near future, given its dominant position in the market and the uniqueness of its products. Revenue generated from the Company's other nutritional supplements and general health food products segment trended up between 2006 and 2008, driven by factors such as improvements in living standards, increased disposable income and rising health consciousness among Chinese consumers. Outlook for this segment should stay positive on its decent growth potential in the near term. It is estimated sales in the vitamin and dietary supplement market wil reach RMB86.1 bil ion by 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10.4% from RMB52.6 bil ion in 2008. The Company plans to build its own herbal tea production line with annual production capacity of 200 mil ion cans of herbal tea. The construction wil be completed by the fourth quarter of 2010. This should definitely help capture opportunities in the growing ready-to-drink tea market in China. It is expected sales of ready-to-drink tea in China wil reach 11,985 mil ion litres by 2013, up from 8,178 mil ion litres in 2008. The Company has been expanding its pharmaceutical business since 2009 as it see good prospect in the pharmaceutical industry in China. An active government support is one of the factors supporting such a bul ish view on pharmaceutical industry (with additional spendings of RMB850 bil ion on China's medical reforms between 2009 and 2011). On top of its existing three pharmaceutical products, the Company has four more pharmaceutical product candidates, namely proparacaine hydrochloride eye drops, oxaliplatin injection, letrozole tablets, for which the company expects to obtain the PRC State Food and Drug Administration approval by the end of 2010, as wel as gatifloxacin eye gel which is expected to receive approval by the end of 2011. Weaknesses/Threats
× The Company depends on a limited number of amino acid-based nutritional supplements to generate
most of the Company's revenue. Despite the revenue contribution by this segment has been trending down since 2006 as the company has been diversifying its products portfolio, there is stil high turnover concentration risk since demand for amino acid-based nutritional supplements may be dragged down by factors, including introduction of alternative products. × Ruinian's liquid amino acids are manufactured exclusively by independent third parties manufacturers with Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") certification. However, these manufacturers have been waiting for renewal of such certification which was expired on 4th January 2010. If they fail to receive the renewed GMP certification, they wil not sel their products to Ruinian. This may affect the financial condition and operation of Ruinian material y. × Profitability of the Company's relative young pharmaceutical segment should remain uncertain on its potential execution risk. Besides, two of the pharmaceuticals that the Company manufactures, namely ofloxacin eye drops and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops are subject to government's price controls in the form of retail price ceilings.
