Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $8.2 million, compared to $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2009. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $19.6 million, compared to $38.8 million for the first six months of 2009.
Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $10.3 million, or $0.14 per share, for the 2009 second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $4.1 million, or $0.5 per share, compared to $19.3 million, or $0.26 per share for the first six months of 2009.
The decrease in revenue was mainly due to a decrease in international sales which reflects China's Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine carrying out a national campaign against unsafe food and substandard products in 2008, which brought on a general slow-down and backlog of export clearances for Chinese food products. Upon the lifting of the regulations, overseas affiliated companies began to purchase more products, thereby increasing sales in the first two quarters of 2009. Second quarter 2010 sales to Indonesia, Russia, Vietnam and Peru further decreased due to the distributors in these countries purchasing more products in the first half of 2009, after the 2008 product scarcity. The decrease in sales in China was mainly due to domestic distributors' reduced purchasing demand following their stocking up of products during 2009. Management believes the decrease in revenues is temporary, and that revenue growth will resume in the near future.
