Although the general market environment remains the same as prior quarters, our sales results in the second quarter exemplify our team's ability to adjust to challenging market dynamics."
Mr. Yin continued, "Additionally, we continue to move forward in the approval process for our EV71 vaccine candidate. During July and August, CFDA inspectors have been conducting the site and GMP inspections of our manufacturing facility.

Business Update
EV71 vaccine. The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) has completed a site inspection and GMP inspection of the Company's EV71 vaccine manufacturing facility, which will be followed by sample testing. Once the results of the inspection are available and the sample vaccine has passed the required testing, the CFDA will conduct a comprehensive review of the vaccine. Upon approval, the CFDA will then issue the new drug certificate, and production and GMP licenses. The Company expects to be able to bring its first commercial batch of the EV71 vaccine to market approximately four months after beginning commercial production. The Company received its site inspection notification in May of 2015.

In the second quarter of 2015, total sales were $18.5 million, an increase of 53.1% from $12.1 million during the same period of 2014. The sales increase is mainly attributable to increased sales of Healive and Bilive into the private pay market, and supported by increased sales into the public market as well.
Gross profit was $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $9.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 81.6% from 75.0% in the prior year period. The gross margin expansion was primarily due to higher average selling prices of the Company's hepatitis vaccines in the private pay market and a lower inventory provision compared to the comparative quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2015 were $9.2 million, compared to $8.6 million in the same period of 2014. This increase was mainly due to increased G&A expenses associated with the trial production of the EV71 vaccine for the site inspection.
R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2015 were $2.2 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period of 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to an entrance fee incurred after the signing of the licensing agreement of sIPV production technology in the second quarter of 2014 and the purchase of the virus seeds for its sIPV candidate during the same period.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.3 million, or $ 0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.2 million, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.
