(OTCBB: CHRI News), today announced expected earnings for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, subject to the completion of an independent audit. The company expects 2011 fourth quarter operating revenues of more than $12.5 million, an $8.5 million or a 218% increase over the same period in 2010. For the year, the company anticipates reporting operating revenues of $34.9 million, a 241% increase over 2010 revenues of $10.2 million.
The company expects 2011 fourth quarter net income to be $2.7 million, or $0.015 per fully diluted common share, compared with $1.6 million or $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2010. For the year, the company anticipates net income to be $6.8 million, or $0.038 per fully diluted common share, compared with a net income of $2.7 million, or $0.02 per share in the previous year.
