Financial review For the three months ended 31 March 2005, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately RMB4,419,000, whereas the figure for the same period in 2004 was RMB2,960,000. Of the total turnover of the Group for the first quarter of 2005, approximately RMB3,219,000 (or 73% of total turnover) was derived from the sale of medical diagnostic products and the provision of related ancillary services, and RMB1,200,000 (or 27% of total turnover) represented the income of technology transfer. In contrast, out of the total turnover for the same period last year, RMB2,760,000 (or 93% of total turnover) came from the sales of medical diagnostic products, and RMB200,000 (or 7% of total turnover) represented the income of technology transfer. Comparing with the correspondent period last year, turnover of the Group for the first quarter 2005 enhanced by 49%, of which, sales of the diagnostic products raised by 17% over that of last year. This is because the new product, Down¡¦s Syndrome antenatal screening system launched by the Group, has accomplished initial market entry wherein some sales revenues have been realized, and has been gradually stepping into its growth stage. Besides, pursuant to the contract entered into by Shanghai Morgan-Tan International Center for Life Sciences, Co., Ltd. (¡§Morgan-Tan¡¨), a subsidiary of the Group, to transfer the technology Mycophenolate Mofetil to a pharmaceutical company based in Shandong, the economic benefits flowed into the Group as a result of the completion of certain stages of the contract amounted to RMB1,200,000 was also recognized within the period under review. Cost of sales of the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2005 amounted to approximately RMB3,858,000, compared to RMB2,072,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase in cost of sales was mainly caused by the increased expenditure on product quality control, with an aim to safeguard company image, so as to obtain a bigger market share for the products in the future. Operating loss of the Group within the period under review was approximately RMB5,540,000, whereas the figure for the corresponding period last year was 4,262,000. The reasons for the increased loss are, in addition to the above mentioned risen cost of sales, research and development (R&D) costs and distribution costs have also increased by 13% and 113 respectively over those of the same period of last year. The new aggressive marketing strategy calls for more resources to be devoted into market expansion and sales team sustaining, resulting in an increase of the distribution costs. On the other hand, efficient control has reduced the administrative expenses by 29% from that of the same period last year. For the three months ended 31 March 2005, the Group recorded a loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB4,950,000, compared to a loss of approximately RMB4,098,000 for the same period in 2004. 3. Loss per share The calculation of the loss per share for the three months ended 31 March 2005 was based on the unaudited loss of approximately RMB4,950,000 (unaudited loss attributable to shareholders for the three months ended 31 March 2004 of approximately RMB4,098,000) and total shares issued of 710,000,000 shares as at 31 March 2005 (as at 31 March 2004: 710,000,000 shares).
