Revenues from Luobuma products increased by $2.98 million, or 327.0%, to $3.89 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $0.91 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to establishment of new subsidiary, Xinjiang Taihe, which generated revenue of $2.93 million.

Revenues from Chinese medicinal herbal products increased by $0.17 million, or 4.8%, to $3.66 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $3.50 million for the same period of last year.

Revenues from other agricultural products decreased by $0.23 million, or 3.4%, to $6.58 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $6.82 million for the same period of last year.
