●	Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA per share was RMB 0.25 ($0.04), compared to RMB 0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Xiaochun Wang, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Tongjitang, stated, “Our strong revenue performance in the fourth quarter reflects notable and increasing contributions from our major drugs, Xianling Gubao and Jingshu Granules, which were included in the National Essential Drug List (“EDL”), as well as for Moisturizing and Anti-Itching Capsules. This revenue improvement shows the long-anticipated benefits of the healthcare reform and reflects gradual implementation of the EDL by local governments. We have started to realize gains from the industry reform and are confident that further implementation will continue to contribute to our long-term success."

Net revenue from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 33.6% to RMB 188.8 million ($28.6 million) from RMB 141.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Xianling Gubao sales were RMB 119.1 million ($18.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to RMB 91.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net revenue from Moisturizing & Anti-itching Capsules and Zaoren Anshen Capsules increased to RMB 23.0 million ($3.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to RMB 18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net revenue from Jingshu Granules increased to RMB 17.4 million ($2.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to RMB 2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net revenue from the Company’s other products remained flat at RMB 29.3 million ($4.4 million) from RMB 29.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross profit from continuing operations increased 27.7% to RMB 105.3 million ($16.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010 from RMB 82.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margin from continuing operations was 55.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to 58.4% in the same period of 2009. The gross margin decline mainly reflects increased costs of raw materials related to herbal medicines. In particular, the cost of San Qi, the major ingredient used in Jingshu Granules, tripled, during the first half of the year. Although its price has steadied since then, the impact on gross margin became increasingly apparent in the fourth quarter when the Company depleted its inventory and started to consume the higher-cost inventory purchased in the first half of the year for production. There was also a slight increase in the price of barrenwort, used in the production of Xianling Gubao, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Operating income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to RMB 18.7 million ($2.8 million) from RMB 2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Improved operating income was mainly attributable to increased net revenues in the period.

Total net income attributable to the Company was RMB 13.0 million ($2.0 million), which yielded earnings per ADS of RMB 0.50 ($0.08) and earnings per share of RMB 0.13 ($0.02).

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to RMB 25.7 million ($3.9 million) from RMB 14.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial information presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses unaudited and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude depreciation and amortization, interest (income) expense, income tax (benefit) expense, loss (gain) from discontinued operations (net of tax), gain on disposal of subsidiaries (net of tax) and share-based compensation expenses recorded under FASB ASC Subtopic 718 – 10 Compensation – Stock Compensation: Overall (Pre-codification: SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment). The Company’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate better understanding of operating results from quarter to quarter and allows the management team to better plan and forecast future periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to the investors. The non-GAAP information is not prepared or disclosed in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in the Company’s business for the foreseeable future. Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial data to the most comparable GAAP data are included at the end of this press release.
