Ms. Zhilin Li, China Pharma’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “The COVID-19 outbreak continued to have a substantial negative impact on our sales of pharmaceutical products. Many people try to avoid going to the hospital for fear of cross-contamination or potential infection. However, the majority of our existing products are prescription drugs. The macro-environment has negatively impacted our drug sales in this period. Fortunately, we completed a one-time foreign trade business this quarter. Due to the continued spread of COVID-19 in the international community, COVID-19 testers have become an urgently needed product in many markets. We have actively leveraged market information as well as our expertise to complete the order in an efficient manner.” Ms. Li continued, “along with the lasting efforts to place emphasis on the marketing and sales of our current exiting pharmaceutical products, we continue to explore in the field of comprehensive healthcare. Comprehensive healthcare focuses on people’s daily life, aging and disease and pays attention to all kinds of risk factors and misunderstandings affecting health. We aim to leverage our expertise in the PRC for the development, manufacture and commercialization of pharmaceutical and comprehensive healthcare products for the benefit of human health.”

Second Quarter Results

Revenue increased by 46.8% to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
