Revenues from Luobuma products increased by $4.36 million, or 388.6%, to $5.48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $1.12 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to establishment of new subsidiary, Xinjiang Taihe, which generated revenue of $5,210,768.
Revenues from Chinese medicinal herbal products increased by $0.25 million, or 8.3%, to $3.30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $3.05 million for the same period of last year.

The increase in selling and distribution expenses was also a result of increased promotion expenses as the Company enhanced its online sales promotions, partially offset by decreased rent expense of warehouse and salary expenses due to more effective cost control during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
