Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2018 increased by $10.31 million, or 30.7%, to $43.90 million from $33.59 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase in sales across all products. 

 

   For the Fiscal Years Ended June 30 
   2018   2017 
($ millions)  Revenue   COGS   Gross Margin   Revenue   COGS   Gross Margin 
Luobuma products   10.88    4.89    55.1%   3.62    1.71    52.8%
Chinese medicinal herbal products   14.18    10.76    24.1%   13.25    10.18    23.1%

Total   43.90    29.11    33.7%   33.59    22.85    32.0%

  

Revenue from Luobuma products increased by $7.26 million, or 200.3%, to $10.88 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $3.62 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to revenue generated by a new subsidiary, Xinjiang Taihe, of $8.21 million for the year ended June 30, 2018. Moreover, the increase of revenue from this segment was due to increased sales volume of health awareness related products. The Company also enhanced online sales promotions during the year ended June 30, 2018, which contributed to more sales revenue overall. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from Tenet-Jove Xuzhou branch of $1.59 million, as the business operation of this branch ceased in November 2017.

 

Revenue from Chinese medicinal herbal products increased by $0.93 million, or 7.1%, to $14.18 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $13.25 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increased unit sales price in the herbal market during the period from October to December 2017, as well as more fulfilled sales orders from customers for the year ended June 30, 2018 than the same period in 2017.

 

Revenue from other agricultural products increased by $2.11 million, or 12.6%, to $18.83 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $16.72 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in sales volume of yew trees since the public realized the air purification function of the yew trees for year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Gross profit and Gross Margin

 

Total cost of revenue increased by $6.26 million, or 27.4%, to $29.11 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $22.85 million for the same period of last year. Gross profit increased by $4.05 million, or 37.7%, to $14.79 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $10.74 million for the same period of last year. Overall gross margin increased by 1.7 percentage points to 33.7% for the year ended June 30, 2018, compared to 32.0% for the same period of last year.

 

Gross margins for Luobuma products, Chinese medicinal herbal products, and other agricultural products were 55.1%, 24.1%, and 28.5%, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2018. This compared to gross margins for Luobuma products, Chinese medicinal herbal products, and other agricultural products of 52.8%, 23.1%, and 34.5%, respectively, for the same period of last year.

 

Operating income

 

Selling expenses increased by $0.05 million, or 3.3%, to $1.53 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $1.48 million for the same period of last year, primarily due to the acquisition of a new subsidiary, Tianjin Tajite, in October 2017. The increase in selling and distribution expenses was also a result of increased promotion expenses as the Company enhanced its online sales promotions, partially offset by decreased rent expense of warehouse and salary expenses due to more effective cost control during the years ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.17 million, or 119.8%, to $3.99 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $1.81 million for the same period of last year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the incorporation and acquisition of new subsidiaries, Tiankunrunze in second quarter of fiscal year 2017, and Xinjiang Taihe, Runze and Tianjin Tajite in fiscal year 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also a result of increased bad debt expense, salary expenses as well as entertainment expense.

 

Operating income increased by $1.83 million, or 24.5%, to $9.27 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $7.45 million for the same period of last year. Operating margin was 21.1% for the year ended June 30, 2018, compared to 22.2% for the same period of last year.

 

Impairment loss on goodwill

 

Impairment loss on goodwill was $2.15 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase of 100.00%, as compared to the same period of last year. In conjunction with the preparation of consolidated financial statement for year ended June 30, 2018, the management performed evaluation on the impairment of goodwill. Due to the lower than expected revenue and profit, and unfavorable business environment, the management fully recorded impairment loss on goodwill of Tianjin Tajite.

 

Net income

 

Net income decreased by $1.09 million, or 12.7%, to $7.53 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 from $8.62 million for the same period of last year. After the deduction of non-controlling interests, net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $7.59 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.49 million, compared to $23.15 million as of June 30, 2017. Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.85 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.74 million for the same period of last year.
