"The company experienced lower sales revenue for the quarter due to a transitional shift in focus by the company from some lower margin to higher margin business and slightly weaker demand. Therefore, the company correspondingly experienced a 14.79% increase in its gross profit due to improved gross profit margin. As well, the company also experienced an increase in its income from operations. The income from operations for the quarter was $101,946 compared to a loss of $113,768 in 2014. The company's income for the quarter decreased to $25,265 from $436,683 in 2014 primarily due to a decrease of the gain on revaluation of investment property and other non-operating incomes," said Mr. Ricky Chiu, President and CEO of Grand Power.
