HARBIN, China, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Sky One Medical, Inc. ("China Sky One Medical" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: CSKI), a leading fully integrated pharmaceutical company producing over-the-counter drugs in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), announced today that three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Harbin TDR Medical Science and Technology, Heilongjiang Tianlong Pharmaceutical, and Harbin First Bioengineering, have been granted the High-Technology Enterprise Certificate by the provincial government in Heilongjiang Province, which allows them to receive a preferential income tax rate of 15% versus the regular rate of 25%, effective January 1, 2009.

The High-Tech Enterprise Certificate is awarded to qualified enterprises by the Chinese government. Since mid-2008, provincial governments began to reassess the criteria for the High-Tech Enterprise Certificate, which include high Research and Development expenditure, and the manufacture of proprietary high technology products or services with at least 60% of total revenues for the enterprise generated through the sale of high technology products or services. With the award of the certification, China Sky One Medical will enjoy a long-term preferential income tax rate.

"We are pleased to benefit from a lower income tax rate, which will significantly have a positive effect on our financial performance," said Mr. Yan-Qing Liu, Chairman and CEO of China Sky One Medical. "We believe that the High-Tech Enterprise Certificate enhances our competitive position and validates our commitment to being an industry leader in the research and development of high technology medical products."
