CHINA MEDICAL REPORTS SECOND FISCAL QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2006 UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS
Beijing, China, November 6, 2005 China Medical Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMED), a China-based medical device company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND FISCAL QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2006
This is our first earnings announcement after our IPO in August 2005. We are glad to see the strong year-over-year growth in our second fiscal quarter results. The strong growth of our sales of the ECLIA system since its introduction in September 2004 contributed to the substantial year-over-year growth in both our net revenues and net income for the quarter. We will continue to allocate adequate resources to support the growth of our ECLIA operations. We will also work to keep increasing the awareness and acceptance of the HIFU therapy system, our core product, in the medical community in China to support the growth of our HIFU operations. said Xiaodong Wu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Medical.
Sam Tsang, Chief Financial Officer of China Medical, said, We have a strong financial position with ample cash and no bank borrowings. We will invest our resources in internal functions to support the organic growth of our operations. We are also well positioned to make strategic acquisitions of businesses which we believe will be complementary to our HIFU or ECLIA businesses.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the convenience of readers, certain RMB amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of RMB8.092 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as of September 30, 2005.
For the second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006, China Medical reported total net revenues of RMB88.1 million (US$10.9 million), representing an 81.6% increase from the same period in 2004 and a 43.3% increase from the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. The growth was driven by the increased sales of both the HIFU therapy system and the ECLIA system.
Revenues, net. Our revenues were divided between two operating segments, HIFU therapy system sales and ECLIA system sales. Our ECLIA system sales included sales of ECLIA

analyzers and reagent kits. Our total net revenues increased 81.6% to RMB88.1 million (US$10.9 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, from RMB48.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and increased 43.3% from RMB61.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. Revenues from sales of our HIFU therapy system increased by 45.9% to RMB59.4 million (US$7.3 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 from RMB40.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and increased 61.4% from RMB36.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the HIFU therapy system sales resulted from the increased awareness and acceptance of our HIFU therapy system in the medical community as well as the seasonality factor of our HIFU business. Revenues from sales of our ECLIA system increased significantly to RMB28.7 million (US$3.6 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, from RMB7.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and up 16.2% from RMB24.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. The significant year-over-year increase in the ECLIA system sales was due to the expansion of our distribution network and the significant increase in the sales of our ECLIA system since the product launch in September 2004. The quarter-over-quarter growth was primarily attributable to recurring revenue from the sales of ECLIA reagent kits used with our ECLIA analyzers.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased 86.0% to RMB26.6 million (US$3.3 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from RMB14.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and increased 49.4% from RMB17.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These increases resulted primarily from increases in our expenditures on raw materials and components which were due primarily to a significant increase in the number of HIFU therapy systems and ECLIA systems sold for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Gross margin. Our gross margin decreased slightly to 69.8% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, down from 70.5% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and down from 71.1% for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These decreases were due primarily to the sales mix and incremental raw materials costs.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased significantly, growing to RMB12.5 million (US$1.5 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from RMB5.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and representing an increase of 45.3% from RMB8.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These increases in operating expenses were due primarily to the addition of staff in relation to the expansion of operations after the acquisition of the ECLIA technology in August 2004. The commencement of our FDA project for the HIFU therapy system, product promotional activities and additional expenses related to the initial public offering of the Company also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. Our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 14.2% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from 11.1% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and an increase from 13.9% for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Interest income. Our interest income increased significantly to RMB1.1 million (US$0.1) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase from RMB19,000 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and an increase from RMB26,000 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These increases were due primarily to interest income generated from the net proceeds received from our initial public offering in August 2005.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased to RMB7.2 million (US$0.9 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from RMB2.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and an increase of 44.0% from RMB5.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These increases were due primarily to our higher taxable income for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. Our effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 was 14.4%, compared to 7.6% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and 14.2% for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. These increases were due primarily to the expiration of the income tax holiday granted by the government on December 31, 2004, which led to an increase in income tax rate to 15% on January 1, 2005 from 7.5% in 2004.
Net income. Net income increased 61.3% to RMB42.9 million (US$5.3 million) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from RMB26.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and an increase of 42.1% from RMB30.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Our cash flow from operating activities was RMB64.1 million (US$7.9 million) in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, our cash balance was RMB771.8 million (US$95.4 million).
OUTLOOK FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2006
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006, we expect to have strong year-over-year revenue growth and to generate total net revenues in an amount ranging from RMB360 million (US$44.5 million) to RMB400 million (US$49.4 million). Net income for the fiscal year is expected to represent high year-over-year growth and is expected to be in a range from RMB175 million (US$21.6 million) to RMB190 million.(US$23.5 million).
