VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 16, 2012) - China Keli Electric Co., Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ZKL) ("Keli" or the "Company") today announced the financial and operating results for the year ended April 30, 2012.

For the year ended April 30, 2012 ("FY2012"), total revenue was $15,066,561, a slight decrease over FY2011 ($15,278,059). Excluding $1.4 million one-time sale of raw materials in FY2011, product sales revenue in FY2012 increased by 8.2% from FY2011. Gross profit in FY2012 was $5,718,134, a decrease of 8.6% over FY2011 ($6,257,683). The Company carefully managed its operating expenses, which decreased by 19.6% from FY2011 ($5,123,582 in FY2012 compared with $6,368,872 in FY2011). As a result, the Company's net profit was $343,693 in FY2012, compared to a loss of $765,014 in FY2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $0.004 compared with loss per share of $0.010 in FY2011. The increased net profit and EPS were due primarily to decreased operating expenses. Excluding stock-based compensation expenses, the Company would have recorded a net profit of $819,059 in FY2012, an increase of 115.2% over $380,672 in FY2011.

The Company's unrealized foreign exchange income on translation of the Company's functional currency to its reporting currency is subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB and the Canadian dollar in each reporting period.

"We're very pleased to report both net profit and EPS increases and increased product sale," said Lou Meng Cheong, Keli's CEO. "Our first full year as a public company (FY 2011) was challenging and there were considerable one time costs. We've managed our expenses carefully and ran our operations profitably in FY2012. Looking forward, we are optimistic about the future in spite of a slow-down in the global and Chinese economies. China is still investing heavily in our focused market sector, and the recent roll-out of our new products and services is being met with success."
