Ms. Zhilin Li,China Pharma's Chairman and CEO,commented,"In 2019,we were continuously influenced by the policies and market environment of the pharmaceutical industry in China. In particular,the various cost control related policies in connection with the healthcare insurance,Group Purchasing Organization ("GPO",a new drug purchasing practice in which the anticipated purchase volume will be announced in the tender announcement,and the suppliers will need to consider their manufacturing capacity in addition to the price) activities,consistency evaluation,and control of the percentage of drug expenditure among the total hospital expenditure. After evaluating the detailed rules of those major policies and considering the potential return of investment and our recent cash flow position,we have made the decision to impair all advances for our remaining four pipeline products in 2019. However,we may resume the development of these formulas in the future if sufficient funding and other favorable conditions arise." Ms. Li continued,"Nevertheless,we continue to explore in the field of comprehensive healthcare. Comprehensive healthcare focuses on people's daily life,aging and disease and pays attention to all kinds of risk factors and misunderstandings affecting health. We launched a wash-free sanitizer in early 2020 to address the market needs caused by COVID-19 in China. We aim to leverage our expertise in the PRC for the development,manufacture and commercialization of pharmaceutical and comprehensive healthcare products for the benefit of human health."

Full Year Results

Revenue decreased by 11.4% to $11.0million for the year ended December 31,2019,as compared to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31,2018. This decrease in sales revenue was mainly due to the increased standards of drug tender procurement of GPO (drugs have to pass the consistency evaluation in order to participate in the GPO),and the decreased "drug ratio"(the ratio of drug expenditure to patients' total hospital expenditure) from 60% a few years ago to approximately 30% in 2019,which were promoted by the healthcare insurance cost control policy.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31,2019 was $1.5million,compared to $2.0 million in 2018. Our gross profit margin in 2019was 13.6% compared to 16.0% in 2018. This decline in our gross profit margin was mainly due toa decrease in our sales but our fixed costs remained the same.

Our selling expenses for the year ended December 31,2019 were $2.4 million,a decrease of $0.9million compared to $3.2million for the year ended December 31,2018.Selling expenses accounted for 21.5% of the total revenue in 2019 compared to 26.1% in 2018.

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,2019 were $2.3million,as compared to$1.9million in 2018. General and administrative expenses accounted for 21.0% and 15.8% of our total revenues in 2019 and 2018,respectively.

Our bad debt expensesfor the year ended December 31,2019 was $0.003 million,which represented adecrease of $0.601million compared to $0.604 million in 2018. The decrease in our bad debt expenses was mainly due to the Company's adjustment of its credit policies to customers and the request of more advanced payment from customers prior to the shipping of products for the year ended December 31,2019 compared to December 31,2018.

We recognized $17.02 million impairment loss for the year ended December 31,compared to $6.48 million in 2018,among which,there was an impairment loss for the advances made to laboratories for the years ended December 31,2019 and 2018 in the amount of $17,015,117 and $6,134,271,respectively.As a pharmaceutical company,we have been focusing on the development and maintenance of our intangible assets,mainly in the form of medical formulas. The consistency evaluation is expected to have a significant impact on all generic products not only in our pipeline,but also throughout the existing Chinese market. After evaluating the detailed rules under this policy and considering the return of investment and our recent cash flow position,our management made certain assessments regarding the impairment of our intangible assets,and identified four and two formulas that were unlikely to generate positive cash flow in the foreseeable future and therefore recognized impairment loss on them accordingly as of December 31,2019 and December 31,2018,respectively. The management determined to impair all advances at December 31,but may resume the development of these formulas in the future if sufficient funding and other favorable conditions arise.

Net loss for year ended December 31,2019 was $20.7 million,or $0.48 each basic and diluted share,compared to net loss of $10.8 million,or net loss of $0.25 each basic and diluted share,for the year ended December 31,2018. The increase in net loss was mainly a result of thedecrease in impairment of long term assets.

Financial Condition

As of December 31,2019 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million as of December 31,2018. Consider using "Working capital deficit increased to $4.5 million as of December 31,2019 from $1.3 million as of December 31,2018.

As of December 31,our net accounts receivable was $0.6 million,compared to $0.9 million as of December 31,2018.
