We generated revenues primarily from manufacture and sales of nutraceutical and dietary supplements made of Lucidum spore powder and others. As of September 30, 2020, we marketed and sold approximately 32 kinds of nutraceutical and dietary supplements products with “Blue Caps” approved by State Food and Drug Administration of PRC (“SFDA”) encompassing over 200 distributors in 27 different provinces and 30 experience stores in China.

The decrease was primarily attributed to sales drop of Cordyceps mycelia products, Ejiao solution products, Vitamins and dietary supplements products, and American ginseng products, due to declining retail market, heavier competition and lower pricing in traditional nutrition products market.

Cost of revenue decreased by $3,232,734 or 20.8%, from $15,532,065 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to $12,299,331 for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Generaland Administrative Expenses

The general and administrative expenses increased from $1,275,679 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,441,736 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, representing a slight increase of $166,057, or 13.0%.

Researchand Development Expenses

The research and development expenses decreased from $1,134,505 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 to $746,898 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $387,606, or 34.2%.
