"During the first three months ended October 31, 2015, the sales revenue of our stevia products in our Stevioside segment started to decrease for the first time from its consistent increase in the past several years, primarily due to a decreasing demand from the domestic market and the shift in our effort to focus more on developing sales in the international market. While we have broadened our stevia product offerings to include a number of higher quality stevia grades needed in new product formulations we are developing to introduce to the U.S. and European food and beverage industry, the demand for higher grade stevia products has yet to materialize to the degree we had anticipated, and thus our sales volume in higher grade stevia products was lower than expected for fiscal 2016. Stevia has been widely accepted by the food industry and many new stevia manufacturers have entered this industry in the past few years, and recently we introduced a new product line. We are now focusing on new types of stevia products, including tablets, liquid, High A products, and others. We expect to consistently increase our sales of our new products; however we cannot quantify this increase and its effects on future periods."
