Gross profit in Q1 2013 was $1,661,890, a decrease of 1.1% over Q1 2013 ($1,680,638). Although the Company increased its investment in R&D to develop new products in Q1 2014, the Company carefully managed its marketing and sales expenses, which resulted in a slight decrease of operating expense from Q1 2013 ($1,179,863 in Q1 2014 compared to $1,194,949 in Q1 2013). As a result, the Company–s net profit was $254,972 in Q1 2014 compared to $289,446 in Q1 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.003 compared with $0.003 in Q1 2013. The decreased net profit was primarily due to decreased gross profit and increase finance expense. EBITDA was $622,049 in Q1 2014, an increase of 4.0% over Q1 2013 ($582,203). After accounting for an unrealized foreign exchange translation gain of $420,869, the Company reported total comprehensive income of $675,841 in Q1 2014, compared with total comprehensive income of $355,615 in Q1 2013.
