Our sales revenue was generated in China and in Chinese local currency, Renminbi ("RMB"). If we calculate the percentage
change using our functional currency RMB, we actually had an 11.53% increase in total revenue in 2016 as compared with the same
period in 2015, which was much higher than the corresponding 5.54% in US dollars ("USD") mentioned above as different exchange
rates were used for the conversion of RMB into USD for different period of time.
The sales revenue and net income attributable to shareholders for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 both
increased as compared with the same period of last year.
CER is very delighted on having a strong operational framework and achieved both accelerated top-line growth and continued
solid bottom-line performance in 2016, reflecting continuous improvement in product mix, brand recognition and optimizing the
business operations.
"We are very pleased with our overall performance for the year ended December 31, 2016 and also very happy to reverse $1.33
million income tax payables on the consolidated balance sheet, which were overstated for more than 10 years," said Chengfeng
Zhou, CEO, China Education Resources. "The operating performance of the company is expected strong for the year 2017. We have
been approached by different institutions and companies from various countries since we launched our soccer education online
platform which integrates with the functions of CER online teacher training platform and school platform. We expect our unique
and comprehensive blend of education resources and services will provide CER with long-term revenue potential. We are encouraged
by the increase in utilization of our internet platform and educational social network, which work together with our existing
online/offline products. We will update our shareholders on the progress." For more information, please visit www.chinaeducationresources.com or Email: admin@chinaeducationresources.com.
