Financial review For the six months ended 30 June 2005, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately RMB6,460,000, the comparative figure for 2004 being RMB6,915,000. Of the total turnover of the Group for the first half year of 2005, RMB5,246,000 (or 81% of total turnover) was derived from the sale of medical diagnostic products and the provision of relevant auxiliary services, and RMB1,214,000 (or 19% of total turnover) came from the income of technology transfer and technical service. In contrast, of the total turnover of the same period last year, RMB4,215,000 (or 61% of total turnover) was obtained from the sale of diagnostic products, and RMB2,700,000 (or 39% of total turnover) came from the income of technology transfer. The Group's total turnover for the first half of 2005 has dropped by 7% from the level of the same period last year. Out of this, the sale of diagnostic products has witnessed an increase of 24% from that of last year. This is mainly because that the new product of the Group, Down's Syndrome Antenatal Screening System, has obtained a certain degree of market recognition, and has realized some sales revenues. Meanwhile, the income of technology transfer and technical service has reduced by 55% comparatively. The only income recognized from technology transfer for the period under review was generated by the technology of Mycophenolate Mofetil, which was transferred from a subsidiary of the Group, Shanghai Morgan-Tan International Center for Life Sciences, Co., Ltd. ("Morgan-Tan"), to a pharmaceutical company based in Shandong. In addition, RMB14,000 was the earning of the Group for external technical service provision. For the six months ended 30 June 2005, cost of sales of the Group was approximately RMB5,689,000, whereas the comparative figure for the same period in 2004 was RMB4,946,000. The rising cost of sales was largely attributable to the extra spending on product quality control, which aimed at a strict application of the GMP standard, so as to establish a better market image for the new product to compete for some bigger market shares in the future. Within the period under review, operating loss of the Group was approximately RMB10,773,000, compared to RMB8,615,000 for that of last year. The major reasons for the increased loss are, in addition to the increased cost of sales as mentioned above, distribution costs have also increased by 136% from that of last year. The newly adopted aggressive marketing strategy calls for more resources to be devoted to market expansion and sustaining of sales teams, which resulted in an increase in distribution costs. On the other hand, due to some efficient controls on administrative expenses and other operating expenses, expenditure on these two items has reduced by 24% and 66% respectively. The Group recorded a loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB9,779,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2005, whereas the loss attributable to shareholders for the same period last year was RMB8,139,000. 3. Loss per share The calculation of the loss per share for the three months ended 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2004 were based on the unaudited loss of approximately RMB4,829,000 (three months ended 30 June 2004: loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB4,040,000) and total shares in issue of 710,000,000 shares (three months ended 30 June 2004: 710,000,000 shares) during the three months ended 30 June 2005. The calculation of the loss per share for the six months ended 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2004 were based on the unaudited loss of approximately RMB9,779,000 (six months ended 30 June 2004: loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB8,139,000) and total shares in issue of 710,000,000 shares (six months ended 30 June 2004: 710,000,000 shares) during the six months ended 30 June 2004. Diluted loss per share have not been calculated for the three months and six months ended 30 June 2005 and 2004 respectively as there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares during those periods. |
