BIOSINO BIO-TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE INCORPORATION
(Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 8247)
THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2007
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (THE “GEM”)
OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK
EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high
investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track
record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may
be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or
countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential
risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and
careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a
market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on
GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board
and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website
operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid
announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they
need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed
companies.
This announcement, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of Biosino Bio-Technology and Science
Incorporation (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibilities, includes
particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM (the “GEM
Listing Rules”) of the Stock Exchange for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company.
The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and
belief: (1) the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material
respects and not misleading; (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any
statement in this announcement misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this announcement have
been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are
fair and reasonable.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2007
The revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2007 was approximately RMB130 million,
representing an increase of 22.10% as compared with approximately RMB107 million for the corresponding
period last year. During the period, the revenue of approximately RMB84.48 million was generated from
the sales of in-vitro diagnostic reagents which accounted for 64.85% of the Group’s total revenue,
representing a 24.06% increase as compared with RMB68.09 million for the corresponding period last
year. For pharmaceutical products, the revenue of RMB45.79 million of Lumbrokinase capsules accounted
for 35.15% of the Group’s total revenue, representing an increase of 18.56% as compared with RMB38.62
million for the corresponding period last year.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2007, profit from operating activities amounted to RMB24.75
million, representing an increase of 32.9% as compared with the corresponding period last year. Despite
the consolidation of the operational expenses of new subsidiaries and higher research and development
expenses for continued effort of new products, there was still a growth in profit from operating activities
because of satisfactory increase in revenue.
Profit attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended 30 September 2007 was RMB13.81 million,
representing an increase of approximately 4.6% as compared with the corresponding period last year.
Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue and profit from operating activities,
which completely offset the increase in interest expenses as a result of the increase in the bank borrowings
for research and development and business expansion, and higher income tax expense as a result of the
adjustment in the fixed deductible amount on salary expenses imposed by State Administration of Taxation.
PROSPECT AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
It is expected that the economy of China will continue to grow stably with improvement in living
standard and health consciousness of people. The PRC government is going to introduce new social
medical protection policies which will facilitate the healthy and stable development of clinical diagnostic
products and pharmaceutical products. As such, China will remain one of the world’s fastest growing
markets of these industries.
Looking forward, the Directors believe that the market share of our products will be expanded steadily
throughout the result of our gradual endeavour and timely effort for market development. The overseas
sales of our diagnostic products will rise after some of our diagnostic reagents have passed the “CE”
certification.
The research and development and the sales model of the entire medical industry will be changed upon
the introduction and implementation of new social medical protection policies of the state. Baiao
Pharmaceuticals, the inventor of Lumbrokinase, will be well-positioned to benefit from the rectification
and improvement of the medical market order of the state.
The Group is confident that our market share and return of shareholders will be increased as a result of
our continuous efforts in research and development in order to launch more new products and enhance
promotion effort in the near future.
