Revenues from Luobuma products decreased by $0.76 million, or 17.4%, to $3.62 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 from $4.39 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to both the decreased sales price and decreased sales volume of our products.

The decrease was primarily due to the depreciation of RMB against USD. The average currency exchange rates for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were 1 RMB to $0.1468 USD and 1 RMB to $0.1555 USD, respectively, which represented a decrease of 5.6%.
