For the year ended December 31,
2014, CER reported aggregate sales revenue of $10,700,662 as compared to $10,085,422 for the same period in 2013,
representing a 6.1% increase as a result of a 22.2% increase in
book sales and distribution services and a 15.1% decrease in sales
of online products in 2014. The decrease in revenue from online
products for the current period as compared to the revenue of the
same period of previous year was due to the fact that the
regulatory authority in China is
now revising the contents of the on-line teacher training resulting
in a delay in launching the training courses. CER has developed the
new contents which places more emphasis on digital technology for
education. The Company recognized a net loss for the year ended
December 31, 2014 of $791,396 attributable to the shareholders as
compared to a net loss of $2,718,360
attributable to the shareholders for the same period in 2013.
"We are pleased with the direction of our sales and operations.
Our sales revenue continues to increase in 2014 and the Company's
business growth plan has been implemented as planned." said
Chengfeng Zhou, CEO, China Education
Resources. "The 2014 business results further strengthen our
confidence that our business will continue to grow in 2015."
"We expect that our unique and comprehensive blend of education
resources and services will generate more revenue, and 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."
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
