Management will continue to vigorously promote sales through active participation in recent provincial market openings to receive new drug tender offers and through further penetration into the market." Ms. Li continued, "The ongoing generic drug consistency evaluations and reform of China's drug production registration and review policies will continue to have a significant impact on the current performance and future development of Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturers, including us, and may gradually change business patterns of the industry.

Third Quarter Results

Revenue was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was mainly due to market volatility.

Gross profit was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2018 was 22.3%, compared to 13.3% in the same period 2017.

Our selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $0.9 million, which accounted for 40.3% of the total revenue in the third quarter of 2018. For the same period in 2017, our selling expenses were $0.7 million, which accounted for 21.7% of the total revenue in the third quarter of 2017. When comparing selling expenses in 2018 to those in 2017, the increase in the percentage of selling expenses to total revenue was mainly due to the decrease in revenue in this quarter, along with many adjustments in our selling processes under healthcare reform policies. Despite the decrease in sales, we still need to maintain personnel and continue our sales activities to support the sales and collection of accounts receivable.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, were both $0.3 million. General and administrative expenses accounted for 14.2% and 11.0% of our total revenues in the third quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.9 million, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The change in the net result was mainly due to the decrease in revenue, and the increase in selling expenses being offset by a decrease in impairment of long term assets in the third quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period of 2017.

Nine Months Results

Revenue decreased by 3.0% to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $2.1 million, compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2017. Gross profit margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 24% and 19%, respectively. The increase was mainly due to the increase in sales of higher margin products in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $3.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively, which represented an improvement of $2.3 million for the period in 2018.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million, compared to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2017.
