PROXY STATEMENT

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Tianyin of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on January 21, 2010, and at any meeting following postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting, which will begin at 7:30 PM.  The meeting will be held at 17 State Street, Suite 2000, New York, NY 10004.  Stockholders will be admitted beginning at 7:00 PM.  The location is accessible to handicapped persons, and we will provide wireless headsets for hearing amplification upon request.

You will need an admission ticket to enter the meeting.  If you are a stockholder of record, you will find an admission ticket attached to the proxy card sent to you.  If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please retain the admission ticket.  Directions to the Annual Meeting are printed on the admission ticket.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you can obtain an admission ticket in advance by sending a written request, along with proof of ownership, such as a recent bank or brokerage account statement, to our transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer Inc. at 1859 Whitney Mesa Dr, Henderson, NV 89014, 702.818.5898, Fax 702.974.1444.  If you arrive at the Annual Meeting without an admission ticket, we will admit you if we are able to verify that you are a Tianyin stockholder.

Sending in your proxy card and voting will not prevent you from voting your shares at the Annual Meeting, or changing your vote, if you desire to do so.

Proxies and Voting Procedures

You can vote your shares by completing and returning a proxy card or, if you hold your shares in “street name,” a voting instruction form.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your broker or other holder of record, to be able to vote at the meeting.

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by timely delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy or by voting in person at the meeting.

All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxies received prior to the meeting and not revoked will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your instructions.

If you hold your shares through a broker, your shares may be voted even if you do not attend the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes do not have the effect of votes in opposition to a director. Abstentions are also counted towards determining a quorum.

If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the meeting to another time or place, the individuals named as proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be entitled to vote.  If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting.  You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted.  At the date this proxy statement went to press, we did not anticipate that any other matters would be raised at the Annual Meeting.
 
Stockholders Entitled to Vote

You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting all shares of our common stock that you held as of the close of business on the record date.  Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter properly brought before the meeting.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available at the meeting, and for 10 days prior to the meeting, at 23rd Floor, Unionsun Yangkuo Plaza, No. 2, Block 3, Renmin Road South, Chengdu, P. R. China, 610041 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. local time.

Required Vote

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders with a majority of the voting power at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum, which is required in order to transact business at the meeting.

Cost of Proxy Distribution and Solicitation

Tianyin will pay the expenses of the preparation of the proxy materials and the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies.  Proxies may be solicited on behalf of Tianyin in person or by telephone, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means by directors, officers or employees of Tianyin, who will receive no additional compensation for soliciting.  In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of Tianyin stock.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

We have reviewed Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.’s audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, and met with both management and Patrizio & Zhao, LLC, Tianyin’s independent auditors, to discuss those financial statements.  Management has represented to us that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management has primary responsibility for Tianyin’s financial statements and overall reporting process, including the company’s system of internal controls.  The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and discuss with us their independence and any other matters they are required to discuss with us or that they believe should be raised with us.  We oversee these processes, although we must rely on the information provided to us and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.

We have received and discussed with Patrizio & Zhao, LLC, the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).  These items relate to that firm’s independence from Tianyin.  We also discussed any matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees) with Patrizio & Zhao, LLC.

Based on these reviews and discussions, we recommend to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in Tianyin’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting executive compensation, for making recommendations to the full Board concerning director compensation and for general oversight of the compensation and benefit programs for other employees.  The committee intends to meet as often as is necessary throughout the year to carry out its duties.

Our overall compensation policies are monitored by the Compensation Committee.  The duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to:
 
·
administer the employee benefit plans of our company designated for such administration by the board;
 
·
establish the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (subject to the terms of any existing employment agreement);
 
·
with input from our Chief Executive Officer, establish or recommend to the board the compensation of our other executive officers (subject to the terms of any existing employment agreements); and
 
·
monitor our overall compensation policies and employment benefit plans.

Dr. Jiang, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, will participate in determinations regarding the compensation and design of our benefit programs for all employees, including our other executive officers. However, he will not participate in determining his own compensation.

We believe that an appropriate compensation program should draw a balance between providing rewards to executive officers while at the same time effectively controlling compensation costs. We reward executive officers in order to attract highly qualified individuals, to retain those individuals in a highly competitive marketplace for executive talent and to motivate them to perform in a manner that maximizes our corporate performance. We want our compensation to provide our executives with an overall competitive compensation package that seeks to align individual performance with our long-term business objectives.

In the future, we may rely upon consultants to set our salaries, to establish salary ranges or to provide advice regarding other compensation matters. We compare our salaries and other elements of compensation against the salaries and other compensation measures of other public companies in our industry by reviewing the proxy statements of such other companies. However, we do not prepare formal benchmarking studies.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee nominates candidates for the Board and will consider nominees recommended by shareholders.  The Nominating Committee is responsible for selecting and nominating persons for election or appointment by our Board as Board members. Pursuant to the Nominating Committee Charter, the Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from shareholders submitted to our Secretary at our corporate offices.  A nomination submission must include information regarding the recommended nominee, including all of the information that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxy statements for the election of Board members, as well as information sufficient to evaluate the factors to be considered by the Committee, including character and integrity, business and professional experience, and whether the person has the ability to apply sound and independent business judgment and would act in the interests of Tianyin and our shareholders; nominees must also state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on the board of directors. Nomination submissions are required to be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders, and such additional information must be provided regarding the recommended nominee as reasonably requested by the Committee.
 
 
 
 
10

 

 
To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The committee intends to meet as often as is necessary throughout the year to carry out its duties.

Directors Attendance at Meetings

During fiscal 2009, the Board held one meeting.  None of the directors attended fewer than 75% of the total number of Board of Directors meeting or the Board committee(s) of which he or she was a member during fiscal 2009.

We intend to schedule a Board meeting in conjunction with our Annual Meeting and expect that our directors will attend, absent a valid reason, such as a schedule conflict.   All of our directors attended the board meeting we held last year in conjunction with last year’s annual shareholder meeting.

Stockholder Communications With Directors

Tianyin stockholders who want to communicate with our Board or any individual director can write to:

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.
23rd Floor, Unionsun Yangkuo Plaza
No. 2, Block 3, Renmin Road South
Chengdu, P. R. China, 610041
Attn:  Management

Your letter should indicate that you are a Tianyin stockholder.  Depending on the subject matter, the management will:

 
·
Forward the communication to the Director or Directors to whom it is addressed;

 
·
Attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about Tianyin or it is a stock-related matter; or

 
·
Not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

At each Board meeting, a member of management presents a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and makes those communications available to the Directors on request.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of any class of our securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
 
 
 
11

 

 
Based on our review of copies of such reports, we believe that there was compliance with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders during fiscal 2009.


 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have not entered into any transactions during the last fiscal year with any director, executive officer, director nominee, 5% or more shareholder, nor have we entered into transactions with any member of the immediate families of the foregoing person (include spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) nor is any such transaction proposed, except as follows:

On January 16, 2008, we sold all of the assets we held before the Share Exchange (as defined herein below), which consisted solely of our optometry software, to Charles Driscoll – our former CEO and sole director – for $100.00.

On January 16, 2008, we entered into and consummated the transactions (the “Share Exchange”) contemplated under a Securities Exchange Agreement by and among us, Raygere Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Time Poly Management Limited, Happyvale Limited and Fartop Management Limited, each a BVI company, and Cmark Holding Co., Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.  As a result of the Share Exchange, Raygere became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Raygere Stockholders acquired approximately 87.68% of the 14,587,200 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock following the Share Exchange, but before the dilution resulting from the financings we completed in January 2008.

On September 7, 2007, Grandway Group Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong subsidiary of Raygere,  entered into a sales and purchase agreement with three of the existing shareholders ("Original Shareholders") of Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., our indirect wholly owned subsidiary located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of the People’s Republic of China that operates our business, pursuant to which Grandway purchased 100% of the equity interest in Chengdu Tianyin.  The total purchase consideration was RMB3,000,000 (approximately U.S.$414,771.39) which was determined based upon the net asset value of Chengdu Tianyin as of October 30, 2007.  This transfer was approved by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Chengdu Economic Technology Development Administration Committee on October 30, 2007, and the registration with the Chengdu Administration of Industry and Commerce was completed on November 5, 2007.  As a result of this transfer, Grandway acquired 100% of the equity of Chengdu Tianyin.

On January 16, 2008, pursuant to a Share Transfer Agreement, Stewart Shiang Lor issued stock options to the executive officers and management team of Chengdu Tianyin.  Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lor granted to the Executives the option to acquire all of the shares of Time Poly Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation that owns 39,000 shares of equity interest in Raygere, which prior to the Share Exchange represented 78% of Raygere’s equity, and received 9,976,824, shares of our Common Stock in the Share Exchange transaction.  Mr. Lor is the sole shareholder of Time Poly Management and is also now one of our directors standing for re-election.  Under the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement, the Executives will have the right and the option to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Time Poly Management at any time through November 15, 2008.  Although the Executives may exercise their options at any time during the term of the option, the exercise price of the options depends upon the fulfilment of certain performance targets based on the future revenues of Chengdu Tianyin, as set forth in the Share Transfer Agreement.  The exercise prices of these options range from $1,293 to $660,975.  The options vest on a one-third basis per quarter for three specified quarters and may be exercised in whole or in part after Chengdu Tianyin’s revenues for such quarter are determined, which shall not be later than 45 days following the applicable fiscal quarter.

As part of the Share Exchange Agreement, Time Poly Management Limited, Cmark Holdings Co., Ltd., Happyvale Limited and Fartop Management Limited (the “Escrow Stockholders”) entered into a Share Escrow Agreement pursuant to which they placed an aggregate of 2,410,283 million shares of Common Stock they own (the “Escrowed Shares”) into escrow for the benefit of the Investors of the private financings we completed in January 2008, in the event we fail to achieve certain net income levels; one half of the Escrowed Shares is allocated to each of the two fiscal years involved in the Share Escrow Agreement (the “Yearly Shares”).   The Escrowed Shares are being held as security for the achievement of the: (i) the lesser of our reported net income of at least $5.6 million or fully diluted EPS (share count includes all outstanding common shares, preferred shares, warrants and options) of $0.16 per share in fiscal 2008 (the “2008 Performance Threshold”) and (ii) the lesser of our reported net income of at least $7.2 million or fully EPS (share count includes all outstanding common shares, preferred shares, warrants and options) of $0.20 per share in fiscal 2009 (the “2009 Performance Threshold”).  If we achieve more than 92% of each of the 2008 Performance Threshold and the 2009 Performance Threshold, the Escrowed Shares will be released back to the Escrow Stockholders.  For each year that we achieve 92% or less of the 2008 Performance Threshold or 2009 Performance Threshold, the Investors shall receive 73,624 shares for each one percent (or fraction thereof) by which such performance threshold was not achieved (pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such Investor at such date) up to a maximum of 1,104,360 shares and if less than a total of 500,000 shares are so delivered, the Escrow Stockholders shall receive the difference between 500,000 and the number of shares delivered to the Investors. Additionally, if all of the Yearly Shares are distributed in any given year, then the Company must distribute an aggregate of 1,000,000, 3-year warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per shares, to the Investors.  We achieved the 2008 Performance Threshold and accordingly, approximately 1,205,141 of the Escrowed Shares were released from escrow and delivered to the Escrow Stockholders.
 
We also achieved the 2009 Performance Threshold and accordingly, the remaining Escrowed Shares were released from escrow and delivered to the Management Group.
 
Lock-Up Agreement

Certain of our shareholders holding an aggregate of 12,790,800 shares of our Common Stock have agreed that they will not, subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in the lock up agreement, offer, sell, contract to sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate, pledge or grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of any of his/her shares of our Common Stock from the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the date that is the earlier of: (i) 6 months following the effective date of the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants or (ii) 12 months following the Closing Date.  In addition, for a period of 12 months following such period, no such shareholder shall sell more than one-twelfth of their total shares of Common Stock during any one month period.
 
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
 
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we had not adopted prior to the Share Exchange formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officers, directors and significant shareholders.  However, we intend that such transactions will, on a going-forward basis, be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons
 
On January 16, 2008, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which all the shares of Raygere were transferred to us and Raygere became our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Together, the Raygere Stockholders owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Raygere.  Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Raygere Stockholders transferred to us all of their shares in Raygere in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 12,790,800 shares of our common stock to the Raygere Stockholders. As a result of this Share Exchange, Raygere became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Raygere Stockholders acquired approximately 87.68% of the 14,587,200 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock following the Share Exchange, but before the dilution resulting from the private financings we closed in January 2008.

Our only “promoters” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), or person who took the initiative in the formation of our business or in connection with the formation of our business received 10% of our debt or equity securities or 10% of the proceeds from the sale of such securities in exchange for the contribution of property or services, during the last five years have been Time Poly Management, Ltd. and Cmark Holdings, Co., Ltd. In connection with the Share Exchange, Time Poly and Cmark, the majority shareholders of Raygere, received 9,976,824 and 2,165,503 shares of our common stock, respectively, representing approximately 68.39% and 14.85%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding shares.  Mr. Stewart Shiang Lor is the sole shareholder of Time Poly and Cmark and Mr. Lor is one of our directors.
 
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.  We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding that, if determined in a manner adverse to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

The following table sets forth the compensation paid by Raygere, through Chengdu Tianyin to our chief executive officer and to all other executive officers for services rendered during the preceding three fiscal years.  In reviewing the table, please note that:

Employment Agreements

We do not currently have any employment agreements with our executive officers, but intend to enter into employment agreements at market rates as determined by the board of directors and confidentiality agreements with our executive officers.
 
Compensation of Directors
 
In the past, we did not pay our directors fees for attending scheduled and special meetings of our board of directors.  However, on February 29, 2008, our board resolved, via unanimous written consent to compensate our directors as follows: our directors who are employees do not receive any compensation from us for services rendered as directors. The Board created three classes of fees for outside directors: (1) outside directors who are “independent,” as defined in the Exchange Act will be paid $1,000 per month; (2) outside directors who are not “independent” will not receive any fees at this time, but once our cash flow position improves, the Compensation Committee will reconvene and make recommendations; (3) the Audit Committee Chairman will receive $3,000 per month and an aggregate of 36,000 5-year options to purchase shares of our common stock – the price of the options shall be struck at the “Fair Market Value” based upon the closing price of our stock on the then current exchange on the date of issue and shall vest pro-rata over a period of 12 months.  Additionally, although we do not currently have an arrangement or agreement to provide stock based compensation to our outside directors, we are authorized to grant outside directors incentive stock options from time to time if we find it in our best interest to do so.

Independent Public Accountants

Effective January 25, 2008, as a result of the Share Exchange, we dismissed our principal accountant and the client-auditor relationship between us and The Hall Group, CPAs ceased.  On that same day, we engaged Patrizio & Zhao, LLC as our principal independent accountant to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  We did not have an audit committee then, but our Board approved changing our auditors.  The Hall Group served as our independent public accountant from 2006 to the date of their dismissal.  The Hall’s Group audit reports for our past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.


Patrizio & Zhao audited the financial balance sheet of Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as of June 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006; Chengdu Tianyin is our indirect wholly owned subsidiary located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of the People's Republic of China that, post the Share Exchange, operates our current business.  Their report was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on January 18, 2008 and in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 that we filed on January 14, 2008.  Other than the aforementioned audit and report, during our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods prior to engaging Patrizio & Zhao, we have not previously consulted with Patrizio & Zhao regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject matter of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item) between us and the Hall Group, as there were no such disagreements, or any other reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during our two most recent fiscal years and any later interim period; we also have not received any written report or any oral advice concluding that there was an important factor to be considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue.

In connection with Patrizio & Zhao’s audit, we requested that they review the disclosure contained above and provided them with an opportunity to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of our views expressed above or the respects in which they do not agree with our statements above.  Patrizio & Zhao informed us that no such letter is necessary.

We included this information in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we filed on February 14, 2008 and provided the Hall Group with a copy of such disclosure and requested that the Hall Group furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not the Hall Group agrees with the disclosure. A copy of the letter dated February 14, 2008 furnished by the Hall Group in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the February 14, 2008 8-K.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Patrizio & Zhou for the audit of the registrant's annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the registrant's Form 10-K or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for fiscal years 2009 and 2008 were approximately $11,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

No such fees were incurred in fiscal 2009.

All Other Fees

No other fees were incurred in fiscal 2009.

Auditing Service Pre-approval Policies

Our Board of Directors must pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for Tianyin by its independent auditors, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which should nonetheless be approved by our Board prior to the completion of the audit.  Each year the independent auditor’s retention to audit our financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Board before the filing of the previous year’s annual report on Form 10-K.  At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Board will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management.  At each subsequent Board meeting, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval.  Typically, these would be services such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.

Since May 6, 2003, the effective date of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules stating that an auditor is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, each new engagement of Patrizio & Zhao, LLC has been approved in advance by the Board, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimus exception to pre-approval contained in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
