ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JINPAN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (AMEX:JST) today announced consolidated final results for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year 2006, sales up 49% and net income up close to 60%.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and result of operations FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 Sales. Net sales increased RMB 215 million or approximately 49% from RMB438 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to RMB 653 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. If the net sales is presented in US dollar, the sales would have increased approximately 53.5% from US$ 53.6 million for the year ended 2005 to US$82.3 million for the year ended 2006. The difference between RMB sales growth rate and US dollar sales growth rate is the result of foreign exchange rate fluctuation. The increase in sales was primarily due to the continuing expansion of our customer base and the increase in the selling price we passed to our customers due to higher costs of materials.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased RMB 173 million or approximately 58% from RMB 298 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to RMB 471 million for twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales increased by 4.21%, from 67.96% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, to 72.17% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The increase was a result of worldwide price increases of raw materials associated with steel and copper during 2006.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased RMB 41 million or approximately 29.5% to RMB 182 million for twelve months ended December 31, 2006 from RMB 141 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 32.04% to 27.83% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This decrease also resulted from the aforementioned raw material price increase.
Selling and Administrative. Selling and Administrative expenses increased RMB 16.4 million or approximately 18.6% from RMB 88.3million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, to RMB 104.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of sales, Selling and Administrative expenses decreased from 20.15% to 16.03% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This was primary the result of cost control in selling and traveling expense.
Net Income. Net Income increased RMB 22 million or approximately 59.7% from RMB 37 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to RMB 59 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. If the net income is presented in US dollar, the net income would have increased approximately 64.3% from US$ 4.5 million for the year ended 2005 to US$ 7.4 million for the year ended 2006. The difference between RMB net income growth rate and US dollar net income growth rate is also due to foreign exchange rate fluctuation. As a percentage of sales, net income increased from 8.46 % in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, to 9.06% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
Earning Per Common Basic earning per share increased RMB3.23(US$0.42) or approximately 60% from RMB 5.7(US$0.7) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to RMB8.93(US$1.12) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
