"Similar to the second quarter, the company experienced lower sales revenue for the quarter due to weaker demand and a significant decrease in fuel surcharge rates of roughly 56% compared with Q3, 2014. Reduced fuel surcharge rates are directly passed onto our customers. In addition, the lower revenue was also due to the company's decision to select higher quality and higher margin customers. As a result, the gross profit margin for the quarter increased to 10.29% from 7.89% in 2014, and the income from operations increased to $124,279 from $95,995 in 2014. The company had a loss of $72,023 for the quarter primarily due to the company's share of loss in equity accounted investments of associated companies in the amount of $163,560," said Mr. Ricky Chiu, President and CEO of Grand Power.
