Third Quarter Results

Revenues were $3.2 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.

Gross profit was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2017 was 13.3% compared to 11.2% in the same period 2016.

Our selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.7 million, which accounted for 21.7% of the total revenue in the third quarter of 2017,compared to $1.0 million for the same period 2016, which accounted for 29.7% of the total revenue in the third quarter of 2016 Due to 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, therefore our selling expenses did not decrease proportionally to our sales.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, were both $0.3 million. General and administrative expenses accounted for 11.0% and 9.4% of our total revenues in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.2 million, compared to a bad debt benefit of $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change was due to the increase of aged accounts receivables.

As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss for the advances made to these laboratories in the amount of $1.2 million.

Net loss for three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.2 million, compared to net loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
