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.

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
