Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately $185 million, compared to $94 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $90 million, or 96%. The increase was mainly due to the increase in sales and production volume in the second quarter of 2014, compared with the 40 days of production interruptions in the second quarter of 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 170,979 metric tons of petrochemical products at an average price of $1,079 per metric ton, compared to 85,999 metric tons of petrochemical products at an average price of $1,096 per metric ton in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The average sales price per MT in the second quarter of 2014 dropped 1.5% compared with the same period of 2013, mainly due to the stagnant condition of the overall SBS market.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately $386 million, compared to $304 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $82 million, or 27%. The increase in our sales was due to the increase in sales and production volume in the second quarter of 2014, compared with the 40 days of production interruptions in the second quarter of 2013. Compared with the average sales price for the six months ended June, 30, 2013, the average sales price in the same period of 2014 decreased 3.5% from $1,123 to $1,084 per MT.
Cost of sales was approximately $175 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or 95% of sales, as compared to approximately $92 million, or 97 % of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Cost of sales are primarily composed of the costs of direct raw materials (mainly heavy oil, benzene, butadiene and carbinol), and labor. The decrease in the percentage of cost of sales was mainly due to the average unit cost of raw material dropped from $1,065 for three months ended June 30 2013 to $1,021 for the comparable period of 2014.
The Company commenced heavy oil trading in April 2013, whereby the Company functions as an agent on behalf of a Hong-Kong based customer. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the heavy oil trading consists of purchases of approximately $70.1 million and $130.0 million, respectively, and sales of approximately $69.8 million and $129.4 million, respectively, resulting in a loss of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Cost of sales was approximately $370 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, or 95.64% of sales, as compared to approximately $292 million, or 96.44% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average cost of finished product was $1,034 per metric ton, as compared to $1,080 per metric ton in the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 4.3%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the heavy oil trading consists of purchases of $170.1 million, and sales of $169.0 million, resulting in a loss of $1.1 million.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $9.7 million as compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of approximately $7.1 million or 269%. The increase was mainly due to the improved sales and production volume during the period compared with the production suspension in the comparable period in 2013.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $17 million as compared to $11 million for the comparable period in 2013. Our gross margin increased from 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The main reason for the increase in the gross margin is mainly due to the improved production and lower unit costs.
Operating expenses, including selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses, were approximately $3.6 million, or 1.9% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $2.9 million, or 3% of sales for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of approximately $0.7 million or 25%. The increase was mainly due to increases in loan guarantee fees of $0.1 million and increased R&D expenses of $0.4 million related to Ningbo Keyuan Synthetic Rubbers' application for the national high-tech enterprise.
Operating expenses were approximately $7.4 million, or 1.9% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $6 million, or 2% of sales for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of approximately $1.4 million. The increase in the expenses was due to general increases in R&D, and welfare expense.
Net Loss was approximately $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net loss of approximately $0.5 million in the same period in 2013, an increase of $0.5 million, or 105%. This increase in loss was mainly due to the foreign exchange loss of $1.7 million from the depreciation of RMB, compared to an exchange gain of $4.7 million in the same period of 2013.
Net loss was approximately $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net income of approximately $2.4 million in the same period in 2013, a decrease of $ 6.2 million, or 255%. This decrease was mainly due to the foreign exchange loss of $4.1 million, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $6.2 million in the same period of 2013. The exchange rate for USD to RMB appreciated from 6.31 to 1 on January 1, 2013, to 6.17 to 1 on June 30, 2013, however, the exchange rate for USD to RMB depreciated from 6.11 to 1 on January 1, 2014, to 6.16 to 1 on June 30, 2014.
