Internet content provider 皇冠体育appCache, with the spread of news about an IPO application in the United States and following a sharp drop in business in 2009, slightly improved revenue and continuing net loss numbers in the first half of 2010, the company reported.
Likewise, as one of the largest CDN service providers, 皇冠体育appNetCenter (stock code: 300017), which provides the same services as 皇冠体育appCache, has been questioned because of its declining performance after being listed on 皇冠体育app's Growth Enterprises Market (GEM) board.
A comparison of the two formal public financial datasheets to explore the real investment value was contained in a full report from CBISMD. Those reports are included at the end of this report.
Net income findings
The two recently released financial datasheets showed that in the first half of 2010, 皇冠体育appCache had a net income 170.34 million yuan, and 皇冠体育appNetCenter had business income of 150.09 million yuan over the same period.
From the year 2006 to 2009, 皇冠体育appCache had a net income that increased from 70 million yuan to 272 million yuan, by nearly 3.9 times, but the gross profit growth did not follow. For 皇冠体育appNetCenter, from the year 2006 to 2009, business income increased from 69 million to 287 million yuan, by nearly 4.2 times, and the consolidated gross profit margin remained above 33 percent for four consecutive years.

But the gross profit margin was minus 6.17 percent (-6.17%) in 2007. Since then, its gross margins have not ever reached the level of the previous two years, far below those of 皇冠体育appNetCenter.
