"The company experienced lower sales revenue for the quarter primarily due to weaker demand and a significant drop in fuel surcharge rates, of approximately 48%. This directly impacts revenue as the reduced fuel surcharge rates are directly passed onto our customers. As a result of the lower revenue, the company had a loss of $345,199 from operations for the quarter compared to a profit of $378,570 in 2014. However, the company's income for the quarter increased to $234,206 from a loss of $87,188 in 2014 primarily due to an increase in the gain on revaluation of investment property," said Mr. Ricky Chiu, President and CEO of Grand Power.
