Third Quarter 2010 Results
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 66% to $7,290,685 as compared with $4,382,522 for products sold in the same period ended September 30, 2009. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales for our new products, Galanthamine Hydrobromide, Cow-bezoar Detoxicating tables, Ganhai Stomach Recovery capsules, Camptothecine, VC Honeysuckle-fructusforsythiae tables and compound Salvia Root tablets. Sales to new customers have also contributed to the increase in sales.
Gross profit increased 58% to $3,088,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $1,956,019 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross profit margin fell 3% to 42% as of the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 45% as of the same period in 2009, mainly due to the increase in subcontracting charges.
In the three months ended September 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $998,913, a decrease of 15%, as compared to $1,177,302 compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease for the 3 months ended September 30, 2010 was due primarily to decrease in amortization of intangible assets, advertising expenses and the reversal of a write-off related to an advance made to a supplier.
As a result of the above, in the three months ended September 30, 2010, Net Income increased to $2,191,362 as compared with the corresponding periods in 2009 of $918,266, representing a 139% year-over-year increase.

This increase is primarily due to the launch of new products and successful sales to new customers. The Company's new products launched in 2010 were Galanthamine Hydromide, Hydroxycamptothecin, Tanshinone IIA, Cow-bezoar Detoxicating table, Ganhai Stomach Recovery capsule, Camptothecine, VC Honeysuckle-fructus Forsythiae table and compound Salvia Root. Increase in sales prices of the Company's major products, namely, Huanglong Cough & Dyspenca Capsules, Gynecological Inflammation Relieving Capsules, Hepatitis B Relieving and Curing Capsules and Sprain Relieving Plaster and successful market penetration into a new province, Jilin province, have also contributed to the increase in sales revenue.
Gross profit increased 36% to $8,262,544 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $6,072,254 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross profit margin fell 4% to 41% as of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 45% as of the same period in 2009, mainly due to the increase in subcontracting charges and costs of raw and packing materials; effectively, the overall percentage increase in cost of sales offset an overall percentage increase in net sales
