Highlights for Fiscal Second Quarter of 2012:

 

Revenues were $9.2 million, an increase of 28.0% versus the year-ago quarter
Gross profit was $2.6 million, a decrease of 16.0% versus the year-ago quarter
Operating profit was $1.2 million, compared to $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter
Net income attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $1.0 million, compared to $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter
Net income per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $0.19, compared to $0.26 in the year-ago quarter
On February 10, 2012, Pansoft announced that the Special Committee formed to consider an offer by the Company's Chairman Hugh Wang representing Timesway Group Limited, to acquire all outstanding Pansoft shares that it did not already own, engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC as its independent financial advisor.

 

Highlights for the First Six Months of Fiscal 2012:

Revenues were $13.5 million, an increase of 25.7% from $10.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011
Gross profit was $3.6 million, an decrease of 26.1% compared to $4.8 million in the year-ago period

Net income per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $0.17, compared to $0.44 in the year-ago period

 

 
 

 

“During the fiscal second quarter, Pansoft achieved strong year-to-year revenue growth that exceeded our expectations due to strong revenue recognition among recently acquired subsidiaries from their major clients at the end of the calendar year, including Langji. We are pleased to have reported a modest profit, as recent acquisitions have started to make a contribution to our bottom line," said Hugh Wang, Pansoft’s Chairman of the Board. "The delay in reaching breakeven at Pansoft-Japan and the slower pace of generating revenue at HongAo continue to pose a challenge for our bottom line results, yet we remain confident that we will successfully execute our strategy to improve profitability at our new ventures.”

 

Financial Results Highlights for the Fiscal Second-Quarter of 2012

 

Revenues for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $9.2 million, compared to $7.2 million in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 28.0%. The year-over-year revenue growth exceeded the Company’s earlier guidance of about 10%, due to: 1) the Langji acquisition, which contributed 8% of revenue growth; 2) HongAo, which contributed 10% of revenue growth, due to in large part because the prior fiscal-year quarter included only two months of revenue; 3) ITLamp, which contributed 7% of the revenue growth due to higher level of business activity; and 4) Pansoft-Japan, which contributed 4% of the revenue increase due to an increase in the scale of its operations. A revenue decline at Pansoft-China hurt total Pansoft revenue growth by 1%. On a quarterly basis, revenues grew 118.0% from $4.2 million in the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2011, mainly due to seasonal trends.

 

Cost of sales was $6.6 million, an increase of 61.1% from $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Cost of sales increased faster than revenues, largely due to: 1) higher headcount and therefore, higher compensation expense; 2) start-up losses at Pansoft-Japan, the outsourcing joint venture for testing mobile-phone software; and 3) a higher proportion of lower-margin hardware purchases for clients at the HongAo subsidiary.

 

Gross profit was $2.6 million, a decrease of 16.0% from $3.1 million from the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 28.2%, as compared to 42.9% in the year-ago quarter. The decline in the gross margin was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons. On a quarterly basis, the gross margin improved 58 basis points from 22.4% in the fiscal first quarter, primarily due to higher revenues.

 

Operating expenses were $1.4 million, a decrease of 2.4% from $1.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in operating expense was mainly due to lower selling expense, professional fees, and stock-based compensation.

 

Operating profit was $1.2 million, compared to $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter.

 

Net profit attributable to Pansoft shareholders as $1.0 million, compared to $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter and was mainly due to start-up losses at Pansoft-Japan and higher amortization charges related to recent acquisitions.

 

Net profit per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $0.19, as compared to $0.26 in the year-ago quarter.
