TPI Targets Early August 2014 to Start Qionglai Facility (QLF) GMP Inspection

CHENGDU,China, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. (NYSE Amex: TPI), a pharmaceutical company that specializes in patented biopharmaceutical, modernized traditional Chinese medicine (mTCM), branded generics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) today provided updates regarding the Company's Qionglai Facility (QLF).

QLF, after the completion of its construction followed by the equipment installation, has conducted a series of procedures and tests that prepare the facility for GMP certification by the China Food & Drug Administration (CFDA). The Company projects the official inspection to begin in early August for both QLF's pre-extraction and formulation facility.

The QLF facility is a combination of both pre-extraction plant (TCM) and formulation plant. The pre-extraction facility is designed to process and purify raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) using ethanol or distilled water precipitation, filtration, centrifugation, concentration and purification, which will be further processed for the production of modernized TCM products at the formulation facility where the final biopharmaceutical, TCM and generic products in the forms of oral liquid, granules, tablets, and capsules are produced.

About QLF

In preparation for the new GMP standards stipulated by the PRC government in early 2011, TPI initiated the process of optimizing the manufacturing facilities in compliance with the new GMP standards. Due to the redistricting of the industrial parks in the suburbs of Chengdu, TPI's manufacturing facility at the Longquan district, east of Chengdu, is scheduled to be relocated to Qionglai city, south of Chengdu, which is designated for pharmaceutical industry. The QLF is approximately 18 miles from the Company's recently completed Jiangchuan macrolide (JCM) facility. The proposed relocation project also includes our TCM pre-extraction plant which is located near the center of Chengdu surrounded by rapidly expanding residential area. The QLF is estimated to be 80 mu or 53,000 square meters.
