2012 Financial Results

Sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $10,356,095 (20.31%) to $61,336,369 from $50,979,974 in 2011. The increase in sales revenue for the year reflected the continual growth of the air freight business initiated by the Corporation's expanded oversea agent network in the first quarter of 2012.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by 27.17% to $4,667,428 compared to $3,670,127 in 2011, and gross profit margin increased to 7.61% compared to 7.20% for 2011. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in revenue.

The net profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $770,151 compared to a net loss of $1,653,553 in 2011. The net profit attributable to the owners of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $799,381 compared to a net loss of $1,604,249 in 2011. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by 21.97% to $5,157,778 compared to $6,610,312 in 2011. The significant increase in net profit in 2012 compared to 2011 is partly due to the gain on revaluation of investment property of the Corporation in 2012 and the goodwill impairment taken in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation generated $53,076,370 (86.5%) of its revenue from its traditional co-loading air freight business, $5,303,827 (8.6%) of revenue from its direct sales air freight business and $2,955,872 (4.8%) of revenue from its ocean freight business. During the corresponding period of 2011, the Corporation generated $47,280,046 (88.6%) of its revenue from its traditional co-loading air freight business, $2,813,642 (5.3%) of revenue from its direct sales air freight business and $3,245,744 (6.1%) of revenue from its ocean freight business.

Hong Kong is still the Corporation's largest operating centre in 2012, generating $48,129,942 (78.5%) of the Corporation's total revenue whereas China and other regions accounted for $11,654,007 (19.0%) and $1,552,120 (2.5%) respectively. For the corresponding period in 2011, Hong Kong, China and other regions accounted for $41,905,522 (78.6%), $8,550,785 (16.0%), and $2,883,124 (5.4%), respectively, of the Corporation's total revenue.

Tonnage shipped increased by 2,660 tonnes (10.8%) to 27,184 tonnes for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 24,524 tonnes in 2011. The increase was primarily due to the continual growth of the air freight business initiated by the Corporation's recently expanded oversea agent network.

Outlook

"In 2013, the company will continue to focus on the expansion of its oversea agent network and the development of higher-margin business and higher sale volume in the ocean freight business in order to establish a more diversified and balanced portfolio," said Ricky Chiu, President and CEO of Grand Power.
