VANCOUVER, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - China Education Resources, Inc. ("CER") (TSXV: CHN, OTCQX: CHNUF), a leading technology provider of online learning, training courses and social media for teachers, students and education professionals, announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012. All figures are expressed in U.S. dollars.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, CER reported aggregate sales revenue of $7,391,934 as compared to $6,553,140 for the same period in 2011. There was an increase in sales for the current year as compared to the sales of previous year. The Company recognized a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1,380,439 attributable to the shareholders as compared to a profit of $23,273 attributable to the shareholders for the same period in 2011. The increase in the loss for the current year was mainly due to the increase in selling expenses for marketing our new products and services and a goodwill impairment loss of $500,000 (non-cash item) as a result of goodwill impairment analysis using restrictive assumptions.

2012 financial highlights include:

• Online products and other revenue of $3,738,176 generated during 2012 as compared to $2,187,832 during the same period in 2011;
• Text book sales revenue of $3,653,759 generated during 2012 as compared to $4,365,308 during the same period in 2011.

"Our sales revenue continues to increase in 2012, and the Company's business growth plan has been implemented as planned" said Chengfeng Zhou, CEO, China Education Resources. "As a result of incurring increased selling expenses of $1.0 million in 2012, as compared with the same period of last year, the Company has begun providing digital textbooks to students. CER is now adding mobile learning solutions to the school platform for both of the students and teachers. Digital textbooks have started to generate revenue in 2012 and we expect our Education Smartphone Program will start to generate revenue in the second half year of 2013." 

In order to continue work with the principal of a previous financial advisor, who has changed firms, CER has terminated the agreement with Inverness Advisors. An agreement with this new firm is now under discussion. 

The Company has developed an unparalleled and broad portfolio of education products that is believed unavailable in any other education market. It has been market tested and developed in the world's largest education market.
