- Revenues decreased by 32.6% to $10.42 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from Internet advertising and distribution of the right to use search engine marketing service business categories, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak during the first quarter of 2020 and slow recovery in the second quarter of 2020.

Mr. Handong Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ChinaNet, commented, “Our second quarter results highlight continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite significant sequential uptick from the first quarter. With growth and profitability remaining elusive, our second quarter results underscore the need for improvement in our existing business model and the need for new strategic initiatives going forward. While we remain fully committed to the blockchain technology initiative and view it as a potential game-changer for us, we are also actively exploring other strategic alternatives to turn around our business.”

For the second quarter of 2020, revenues decreased by $5.04 million, or 32.6%, to $10.42 million from $15.45 million for the same period of last year.

The decrease in our total cost of revenues during the second quarter of 2020 was primary attributable to the decrease in costs associated with distribution of the right to use search engine marketing service and cost related to providing Internet advertising services on our ad portals, which was in line with the decrease in the related revenues as discussed above.
Gross profit and gross margin
Total gross profit decreased by $0.07 million, or 18.6%, to $0.30 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $0.37 million for the same period of last year, which was primarily due to gross loss incurred from our core revenue stream, the distribution of the right to use search engine marketing service, as a result of tightened ad investment budgets by our client under the COVID-19 pandemic circumstance, which was partially offset by the increase in gross profit generated from Internet advertising business and our new Ecommerce O2O advertising and marketing services.
Overall gross margin was 2.9% for second quarter of 2020, compared to 2.4% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to improvement in gross margin of our Internet advertising business and new revenues generated form Ecommerce O2O advertising and marketing services during the period, which have a relatively higher gross margin than our core businesses.
Operating expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.11 million, or 61.3%, to $0.07 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $0.18 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to decreased performance-based salary and bonus expenses. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 0.7% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 1.2% for the same period of last year.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.12 million, or 9.3%, to $1.13 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $1.25 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the following reasons: (1) the increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.07 million; (2) the decrease in share-based compensation expenses of $0.03 million; and (3) the decrease in general departmental expenses of $0.16 million, due to a cost reduction plan executed by management after the COVID-19 outbreak. General and administrative expenses accounted for 10.9% of the total revenues for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 8.1% for the same period of last year.
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.04 million, or 27.0%, to $0.12 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $0.16 million for the same period of last year.
