Forward Looking Statements
Statements contained in this Report and each attached Release, and any statements that may be made in such conference call, include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including (without limitation) any statements relating to anticipated, prospective or desired customers, acquisitions or markets, trends, updates, or other anticipated, estimated, expected or desired assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition. You can identify forward-looking statements in such information by the Company's use of terms such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "believe", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue" or similar words or variations or negatives of those words. You should carefully consider all such information and the other risks and cautions noted in the Company's Annual and Quarterly Reports and other filings under applicable Securities Laws (including this report, each a "SEC Report", each of which is available on the Company's website at http://investors.sparinc.com) that could cause the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the information in the Company's forward-looking statements, whether express or implied, as the Company's anticipations are based upon the Company's plans, intentions and best estimates and (although the Company believe them to be reasonable) involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause them to fail to occur or be realized or to be materially and adversely different from those the Company anticipated.
Although the Company believe that its plans, intentions and estimates reflected or implied in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that such plans, intentions or estimates will be achieved in whole or in part, that the Company has identified all potential risks, or that the Company can successfully avoid or mitigate such risks in whole or in part. You should carefully review the risk factors described below (See Item 1A – Risk Factors) and any other cautionary statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. All forward-looking and other statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly subject to and qualified by all such risk factors and other cautionary statements.
You should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond its control. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to it and speak only as of the referenced date(s) or, in the case of forward-looking statements incorporated by reference, as of the date of the SEC Report that includes such statement. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Over time, the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition will likely differ from those expressed or implied by the Company's forward-looking statements, and such difference could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Company's Common Stock.
The Company does not intend or promise, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, risk factors or other cautionary statements (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, future events or recognition or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by applicable law.

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 totaled $23.6 million, an increase of 26% compared to $18.7 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010. Domestic revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $10.2 million compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in domestic revenue was mainly attributable to continued growth from the Company’s syndicated services as well as continued growth in the assembly business. International revenue for the fourth quarter increased 55% to $13.4 million compared to $8.7 million during the same period 2010. This increase is due to additional revenue from the new subsidiaries in Mexico and Turkey and improved operations in China, South Africa and Australia.
Gross profit increased 11% to $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, when compared to $6.6 million the same period of 2010. Domestically, our gross profit margin was 36.5% for the fourth quarter 2011 compared to 39% in 2010. The decrease in gross profit margin was directly attributable to an unfavorable mix within both syndicated and project work compared to last year. Internationally, our gross profit margin was 26.4% for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to 30.4% for the same period in 2010. This change was due to the mix of business predominately in our China, Japan, South Africa and Mexico markets.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, for the same period of 2010 based on diluted shares outstanding of 21.3 million and 21.0 million, respectively. Domestically, net income for the fourth quarter was $991,000 compared to net income of $1.1 million for the same period in 2010. Internationally, net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $213,000 compared to a net income of $52,000 for the same period in 2010.

Revenue for the fiscal year 2011 increased 16% to $73.5 million compared to $63.1 million in 2010. Domestic revenue for 2011 was $37.8 million compared to $36.6 million during the same period in 2010, an increase of $1.2 million primarily attributable to continued growth from the Company’s syndicated and assembly services. Internationally, our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $35.7 million compared to $26.6 million during the same period 2010. The increase in international revenue was due primarily to additional revenue from the new subsidiary in Mexico of $4.6 million, an increase in China of $2.5 million resulting primarily from increased project work in the beverage category and an increase in South Africa of $2.2 million resulting from a new client in the general merchandising category.
Gross profit for the fiscal year 2011 increased 7% to $22.5 million compared to $21.0 million for the same period in 2010. Domestic margins for the fiscal year 2011 were 33.3% compared to 35.9% during the same period 2010. The changes in domestic gross profit margins are related to an unfavorable mix within both syndicated and project work compared to last year. Internationally, our gross profit margins for 2011 were 27.7% compared to 29.6% in the previous year, primarily due to the mix of business in Mexico, South Africa, China and Japan.
