Mr. Ronghua Wang, Chairman and CEO of Biostar Pharmaceutical, commented: "We are excited to deliver a strong fiscal quarter, which not only results in a 31% top line revenue growth, thanks to our strong performance in new product and Weinan division, but also a turnaround of our bottom line result. During the quarter, we launched production of two new drugs, QingWeiLiChang Capsules and ChangKang Capsules. As we continue to strengthen quality control in product safety, we believe we are winning back our customers when it comes to Xin Ao Xing Oleanolic Acid Capsule, our flagship drug for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV)."
"In July, we began to assemble a new sales team to market Biostar's proprietary drug products to hospitals in Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning and Henan," concluded Chairman Wang, "With our continued focus on new drug development and innovative sales and marketing, we expect the positive momentum we have in the recent quarter shall continue into second half of 2014."
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Net Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, total net sales increased by approximately $4.5 million or 31.0% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in sales volume of other Aoxing products, hospital products, and Weinan products and the addition of 2 new products at Aoxing. We believe that the increase in sales volume is mainly due to the increased acceptance of our products by hospitals. Our sales prices did not materially change in the first six months of 2014.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased by approximately $2.4 million or 34.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to the increase in sales volume of Other Aoxing Pharmaceutical products and Weinan existing products. The addition of 2 new products at Aoxing also contributed to the increase in gross profit.
The overall gross profit margin was largely unchanged in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of last year mainly because the increase in labor cost was offset by the decrease in the cost of sales of Xin Aoxing.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expense increased by approximately $1.1 million or 14.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the increase in general and administrative expenses. During the period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company made provision for doubtful accounts of $1.5 million and Nil.
Net Income (loss) and Earnings per Share
Net income attributable to Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s ordinary shareholders for this quarter was $1.65 million, compared with a net loss of $0.73 million in the same period in 2013.
Basic and diluted income per share of this quarter was $0.11, compared with net loss per share $0.06 in second quarter of last year.
Financial Position
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.3 million, and net working capital of approximately $36.4 million.
