First Quarter Results

Revenue increased by 10.1% to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase was mainly due to change in exchange rate between USD and RMB. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was RMB 23.0 million, which represented an increase of 2%, compared to RMB 22.6 million for the same period in 2017.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the same period in 2017. Our gross profit margin in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 29.1% compared to 21.9% in the same period in 2017. The increase in our gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase in general selling price of our product package in the first quarter of 2018.

Our selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were both $0.7 million. Selling expenses accounted for 18.8% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 21.8% in the same period in 2017. Because of adjustments in our sales practices resulting from healthcare reform policies, we reserve a basic amount of personnel and expenses to support our sales and the collection of accounts receivable.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $0.5 million, which represented an increase of $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million in the same period in 2017. General and administrative expenses accounted for 13.6% and 12.7% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.3 million, compared to net loss of $1.0 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in net loss was mainly the result of the increase in gross profit margin.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million compared to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2017. Working capital increased to $3.9 million as of March 31, 2018 from $3.1 million as of December 31, 2017; and the current ratio was 1.4 and 1.3 times at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
