The increase in net loss was mainly the result of increased R&D investments in support of the Company's near and long-term growth strategy.

Ms. Zhilin Li, China Pharma's Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our team remained focused during the COVID-19 pandemic and drove sales of our diversified product portfolio. With 20 existing products, we have added revenue stability, visibility and growth opportunities. We are even more excited about our pipeline and the multi-year positive catalysts we expect our new products to create.  In line with our long-term growth strategy, our latest product passed biological equivalents experiments of consistency evaluation in March 2021. We plan to submit relevant documentation and data to NMPA in the near future, as we advance towards commercialization."
