First Quarter Results

Revenue decreased by 39.8% to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31,2020,as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31,2019. This decrease was mainly due to the negative impact of the outbreak of COVID-19. Since the Chinese New Year holiday in early February,almost all Chinese companies,including us,have delayed the resumption of work. Our work resumption rate has gradually returned to 90% by the end of March 2020.

For the three months ended March 31,our cost of revenue was $1.6 million,or 89% of total revenue,while cost of revenue was $2.3 million,or 78% of total revenue,for the same period in 2019.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31,2020 was $0.2 million,as compared to $0.7 million during the same period in 2019. Our gross profit margin in the three months ended March 31,2020 was 11.0% as compared to 22.4% during the same period in 2019. 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 31,2020 and 2019 were $0.3 million and $0.5 million,respectively.Selling expenses accounted for 18.5% of the total revenue in the three months ended March 31,as compared to 16.3% during the same period in 2019. As a result of the adjustment of many policies of healthcare reform,we had reduced the number of personnel and expenses to efficiently support our sales and the collection of accounts receivable.

Our general and administrative expenses were both $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31,2020 and 2019,respectively. It accounted for 22.0% and 14.6% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31,respectively.

Our bad debt expenses for the three months ended March 31,2020 were $30,246,as compared to $13,312 for the same period in 2019. The increase in our bad debt expenses in this period was partially due to the slow-down collection of bad debt because of the nationwide delayed work resumption caused by COVID-19.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31,2020 was $0.7 million,or $0.02 each basic and diluted share,as compared to a net loss of $0.4 million,or $0.01 each basic and diluted share,for the same period a year ago.
