Tiens Biotech Group USA Inc. (TBV) files 8-K - Current report. NEW YORK, April 5 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ — Tiens Biotech Group (USA), Inc. (the "Company" or "Tiens") (NYSE Amex: TBV), http://www.tiens-bio.com , today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009. For 2009, revenue was $62.0 million, compared to $77.2 million for 2008. Net income for 2009 was $24.8 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to $30.0 million, or $0.39 per share for 2008. Results for 2009 reflect, in part, a decrease in revenue in China to $27.2 million from $33.7 million for 2008. The revenue decrease is attributed, in part, to a decline in domestic distributors' demand after stocking up on products in 2008. During the third quarter of 2008, Tianshi Engineering announced plans to increase prices of its products which prompted customers to stock up on certain products. Consumer product demand decreases in the first and third quarters of 2009 were offset by some increases in sales during the second and fourth quarters of 2009, which reflect marketing efforts during those periods.
