Ms. Li continued, "In addition, we continued experiencing sustained pressure from the more stringent requirements of drug registration standards, consistency evaluations, and the challenging environment in our industry in this period.

First Quarter Results
Revenue decreased by 19.0% to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease was mainly due to market fluctuations.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.7 million, as compared to $1.1 million during the same period in 2018. Our gross profit margin in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 22.4% as compared to 29.1% during the same period in 2018. The decrease in our gross profit margin was mainly due to the decrease in revenue and the increased ratio of fixed cost to revenue.
Our selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Selling expenses accounted for 16.3% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 18.8% during the same period in 2018. Because of adjustments in our sales practices, due to healthcare reform policies, we had reduced number of personnel and expenses to efficiently support our sales and the collection of accounts receivable.
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $0.4 million, which represented a decrease of $0.1 million, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2018. General and administrative expenses accounted for 14.6% and 13.6% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.4 million, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in net loss was mainly the result of decreased revenue, whereas the expenditures did not decrease in proportion to revenue, which was due to fixed costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, loss per basic and diluted common share was both $0.01.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2019, our net accounts receivable was $0.8 million, compared to $0.9 million as of December 31, 2018.
