“During the fiscal third quarter, we achieved modest year-over-year revenue growth, driven by strength at our HongAo and Pansoft-Japan subsidiaries, which offset softer results from our core Pansoft China business. In particular, higher HR costs resulting from our expanded team put significant pressure on our gross margins in the quarter”, said Hugh Wang, Pansoft’s Chairman of the Board. “Nevertheless, we remain confident that our business model is sound and we remain committed to serving the large ERP software market in China. Our immediate priority is to improve margins and restore profitability in the near term.”

 

Financial Results Highlights for the Fiscal Third-Quarter of 2012

 

Revenues for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $4.45 million, as compared to $3.9 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 13.0%, of which, approximately 76.2% was contributed by Pansoft-China and ITLamp and 23.8% by acquired and other businesses. The year-over-year revenue growth was primarily due to: 1) Pansoft-China receiving additional revenues from new projects in the power industry, 2) Pansoft-Japan receiving new orders and higher revenue versus the year-ago quarter, when the subsidiary had just been established and begun operation, and 3) HongAo recognizing more revenue in the quarter, with certain projects being inspected and accepted by customers.

 

Cost of sales was $4.2 million, an increase of 39.5% versus $3.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Cost of sales increased faster than revenues, largely due to $1.2 million higher staffing cost at Pansoft-China due to higher headcount and therefore, higher compensation expense, and also due to higher bonus provisions for the whole year . Costs at Pansoft-Japan, the outsourcing joint venture for testing mobile-phone software, were lower off a higher base in the year-ago quarter due to one-time training expenses in Japan.

 

Gross profit was $0.22 million, a decrease of 75.7% from $0.9 million from the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 4.9%, as compared to 23.0% in the year-ago quarter. The decline in the gross margin was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons.

 

Operating expenses were $1.45 million, an increase of 19.3% from $1.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher selling expense, compensation expense and professional service fees for the “going-private” process.

 

Operating loss was $1.15 million, as compared to an operating loss of $0.12 million in the year-ago quarter.

 

Net loss attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $1.0 million, compared to net profit attributable to Pansoft shareholders of $0.1 million in the year-ago quarter, which was mainly due to start-up losses at Pansoft-Japan and higher amortization expense related to recent acquisitions.

 

Net loss per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $0.22, as compared to a net loss per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders of $0.04 in the year-ago quarter.

Financial Condition

 

As of March 31, 2012, Pansoft had $2.9 million in cash and equivalents, as compared to $3.7 million as of June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents exclude $4.8 million in short-term investments, versus $6.8 million as of June 30, 2011, and the decrease was primarily due to slower-than-expected cash inflow in the quarter as our clients slowed their payment process under the current economic environment. Total current assets were $26.3 million, as of March 31, versus $24.1 million as of June 30, 2011, including a $2.6 million increase in prepayments and deposits, a $2.2 million increase in inventory, offset by a $2.0 million decrease in short-term investments. Current liabilities were $9.9 million as of March 31, as compare to $6.8 million as of June 30, 2011, versus stockholders’ equity was $23.5 million as of March 31, 2012 versus $23.5 million as of June 30, 2011.

 

Business Outlook

 

Pansoft will continue to expand its team for future business growth. The Company will continue to focus on the coal mining, thermal power and oilfield markets.

 

“While we continue to experience revenue growth in this fiscal year, our margins remain under pressure from the higher costs and expenses incurred from the realization of our business expansion strategy. We expect to post a slight net profit this fiscal year.” concluded Mr. Wang.
