Financial review For the nine months ended 30 September 2005, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately RMB16,385,000, which is an increase of 75% as compared with the same period in 2004. RMB7,355,000 (or 45% of total turnover) was from the sales of medical diagnostic products and the provision of related auxiliary services. This represents a 42% increase from the sales of medical diagnostic products of the corresponding period last year. The remaining RMB9,030,000 (or 55% of total turnover) came from technology transfer and transfer of technical services. This represents an increase of 115% for the same item as compared with the corresponding period last year. For the nine months ended 30 September 2005, cost of sales of the Group was approximately RMB8,155,000, an increase of 25% from the same period last year. With the strict application of the GMP standard, the Group has increased the expenditure on product quality control, while at the same time efficiently maintained the various production expenses within a reasonable range. This resulted in a much lower increase of cost of sales than that of turnover. Therefore, the gross profit margin has risen to 50% from last comparative period's 31%. For the review period, operating loss of the Group was approximately RMB11,300,000. This is contrasted with the operating loss of RMB14,503,000 for the Group for the same period last year. The loss dropped by 22% comparatively. The operating loss is due to a number of research and development ("R&D") projects entering into the clinical trial stages during the year, the launch of a new product calling for an active market entry strategy, more investment into human and financial resources, which led to increased research and development costs, distribution costs and other operating expenses. In addition, the increase in other operating expenses included the book value of exchange loss due to the appreciation of the RMB. It is noted that administrative expenses decreased as compared to the corresponding period last year. The Group recorded a loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB9,977,000 for the nine months ended 30 September 2005, whereas the loss attributable to shareholders for the same period last year was RMB13,409,000. 3. Loss per share The calculation of the loss per share for the three months ended 30 September 2005 and 30 September 2004 were based on the unaudited loss of approximately RMB198,000 (three months ended 30 September 2004: loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB5,270,000) and total shares in issue of 710,000,000 shares (three months ended 30 September 2004: 710,000,000 shares) during the three months ended 30 September 2005 The calculation of the loss per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2005 and 30 September 2004 were based on the unaudited loss of approximately RMB9,977,000 (nine months ended 30 September 2004: loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB13,409,000) and total shares in issue of 710,000,000 shares (nine months ended 30 September 2004: 710,000,000 shares) during the nine months ended 30 September 2005. |
