For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, revenue decreased approximately 46.4% to $49.3 million compared to 2011. Sales of Aoxing Pharmaceutical's capsule products were affected by the suspension of sale and negative publicity associated with Chinese SFDA's investigation of several capsule manufacturers which used industrial gelatin with high chromium content in their products (the "Capsule Incident"). Net sales of capsule products decreased by $51.3 million or 63.2%. The sales of other Aoxing Pharmaceutical products were also affected by the negative publicity. Net sales of these products decreased by $1.5 million or 15.1%. The Company acquired Shaanxi Weinan Huaren Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. ("Shaanxi Weinan") in the fourth quarter in 2011, and continued the sales of Shaanxi Weinan's then existing products. These products accounted for $7.4 million or 15.1% of total net sales in 2012. The Company discontinued one product due to low sales volume and demand. During 2012, the Company reintroduced six of Shaanxi Weinan's previous products, which accounted for $0.7 million or 1.4% of total net sales in 2012.
In 2012, the Company has also begun sales of three new products that were sold exclusively at a local hospital. These products accounted for $2.9 million or 5.8% of total net sales in 2012.
"We experienced very difficult business environment in 2012. The incident related to capsule manufacturers has significantly negative impact on our business as most of our products are in capsule format, including our flagship product Xin Aoxing Capusule. We expect this impact is temporary and we have seen the gradually recovery of sales of our capsule products in the fourth quarter of 2012," commented Mr. Ronghua Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biostar. "We believe that Chinese healthcare industry is still in a rapid growth and with our continued marketing efforts, an expanding product portfolio and strong demand for our product portfolio, we are well positioned to recover from the temporary loss and capitalize on the long-term secular growth occurring in our industry."
Compared to the fiscal year of 2011, cost of sales decreased by about $8.1 million or 29.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in net sales.
Gross profit was $29.9 million, decreased by $34.5 million or 53.6% for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to the decrease in sales volume. Gross profit loss as a result of the Capsule incident was estimated at $34.5 million.
The overall gross profit margin decreased to 60.5% for the fiscal year of 2012 from 70.0% for 2011 mainly because of the increase in the cost of labor and raw material for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is also due to significant change in the sales mix of products. Xin Aoxing Oleanolic Acid Capsule, the highest gross margin product, contributed 63% to total gross profit in 2012, as compared to 78% in 2011.
Total operating expense increased by $5.4 million or 11.7% to $51.6 million for the fiscal year of 2012, from $46.2 million for 2011. The increase is attributable to an administrative penalty imposed by the SFDA and compensation paid to the Company's customers as a result of the Capsule Incident, increase in research and development expense and increase in provision for doubtful account. Operating income was -$21.8 million and $18.2 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Net loss was $20.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of approximately $32.2 million from net income of $12.2 million for the same period in 2011. Fully diluted loss per share were $2.09 as compared to fully diluted earning per share of $1.31 for the fiscal years of 2012 and 2011 based on 9.6 million and 9.3 million shares, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 million on December 31, 2012, as compared to $17.0 million on December 31, 2011. Accounts receivable balance was approximately $21.9 million on December 31, 2012, versus approximately $35.0 million on December 31, 2011. The Company had total assets of $70.5 million versus total liabilities of $12.7 million on December 31, 2012. Working capital on December 31, 2012 was $29.3 million, as compared to $53.8 million on December 31, 2011.
