China
Premium Lifestyle Enterprise, Inc. has reported net
sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of
approximately $26.7 million, a significant 82% increase
over net sales for the similar period one year ago of
approximately $14.6 million. The company reported a net
profit for the quarter of approximately $310,472, which
represented an increase of almost 84% from the net
profit of $168,842 in the previous year's quarter.
For the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007, the company's
reported net sales of approximately $68.8 million
represented a 74% increase over the comparable nine month
period one year ago when the company reported approximately
$39.5 million. For the nine month period ended September 30,
2007, the company reported net income of $439,071 as
compared to net income of $420,742 for the nine month period
in 2006.
The company
attributed the growth in sales to its new and used vehicle
trading segment, with significant increases in deliveries of
Ferrari 8- cylinder models, the F430 and F430 Spider,
together with the sell out performance of the new Ferrari
12-cylinder model, the 599 GTB Fiorano. Vehicle sales were
approximately $64.2 million for the nine month period of
2007 compared to approximately $35.8 million in the similar
period one year ago. Parts sales and service income
increased in the nine month period to approximately $4.6
million as compared to approximately $3.7 million for the
preceding period. The increase in parts sales and service
income was attributed to significant growth in the number of
both Ferrari and Maserati customers during the last few
years, all of whom now require regular maintenance.
Richard Lee,
Chairman and CEO, stated: "I am very pleased to report that
we continue to show tremendous growth in our sales of the
new and current model range of Ferraris and Maseratis as
well as accelerating growth in parts sales and service
income. This strong foundation is the ideal platform to
enable us to incorporate other high end brands into our
portfolio as we continue to build China Premium Lifestyle
Enterprise, Inc."
Joseph Wong, CFO,
added: "Our operations generated cash resources of
approximately $9.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to generating cash resources of
approximately $1.9 million for the similar period one year
ago. This was a result of our increased sales. Our account
receivables decreased by approximately $7.8 million in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to
the collection of a receivable pursuant to certain sales
recognized in the last three quarters."
