The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the slowdown in economic activities in China resulting from the spread of COVID-19 disease. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. However, following the gradual recovery of economy in China after the peak period of COVID-19 disease, the nature of our online business receives positive responses from the government, private and general public as a result of the change in life styles for combating COVID-19 disease.
"CER's business is now coming back to normal and we start to receive purchase orders in the second quarter of 2020, particularly orders for our online products." said Chengfeng Zhou, CEO, China Education Resources. "We expect that the sale revenue of the Company will improve in the rest of 2020 and we will provide update to shareholders in the near future."
In collaboration with China's education administrators and experts, China Education Resources has been helping to transform the curriculum of the world's largest educational system. Recognizing the need to address education reform changes, China Education Resources has created educational tools and curriculum for China's entire kindergarten through twelfth grade system. The Company is playing an integral part in transforming China's educational system through helping to convert the existing educational system from a memory-based learning system to a creative thinking and interactive approach. Presently, China Education Resources has over 1 million kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers registered through its Web portal.
