CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC.
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

(Shenzhen, China – November 07, 2012) -- China Information Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNIT) (the “Company”, “our” or “we”), a leading provider of information technologies and display technologies (“DT’) based in China, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights

Revenues decreased YoY by $1.04 million, or 3.65%, to $27.42 million from $28.46 million a year ago
Gross profit decreased YoY by $6.09 million, or 64.25%, to $3.39 million from $9.49 million a year ago
Operating loss of $20.04 million vs. operating income of $1.37 million a year ago
Net loss of $21.44 million vs. net income of $0.93 million a year ago
Fully diluted net loss per share of $0.79 vs. net income per share of $0.03 a year ago

Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Facing macro and fiscal headwinds, the Company experienced a decline in revenues of 3.65% YoY to $27.4 million and a net loss of $21.4 million, including write-downs of certain company assets. The Company continues to make strides in its business transition. Our revenues increased 106.5% QoQ from $13.3 million in 2Q 2012 as our new product offerings begin to make significant contributions to our overall revenue mix. Our third quarter operating cash flow was $4.5 million, reflecting our successful implementation of our strategy of revenue diversification and focus on the quality of earnings.”

“Our DT revenues increased 58.5% YoY in the third quarter to $20.1 million from $12.7 million last year. This is a strong indication that our national marketing campaign is starting to pay off as we expand our DT offerings in different geographical markets. During the quarter, we completed most of the $10 million project to provide 9,000 units of our IT-Pad to education clients in Anhui Province. This is an important pilot project for the new-generation interactive teaching tool for China’s “Digital Campus” initiative. The Company was chosen for the project mainly because of its robust integrated proprietary solutions, and this should give us an early-mover advantage in the dynamic China digital education market. Overall, our DT segment now comprises 73.4% of our total revenues in 3Q 2012, versus 44.6% during the same period last year. In our IT Segment, despite the significant slowdown in our traditional core area of digital public security, our GIS and DHIS segments, although still at a small base, continued to deliver healthy year-over-year growth.”

“Although we expect the rest of the year to remain challenging, we are optimistic about the coming year as we expect the macro sluggish to bottom out and the Company continues to shift to higher value-added products and solutions as we execute our transition strategy. We will continue to penetrate new DT markets with the introduction of our high-end interactive touch-screen products, including our proprietary IT-Pad, DS-Pad and Tea-Pad series. We also expect continued growth from our GIS and HIS segments as they gain scale and momentum. In addition, as the upcoming China 18^thNational Congress held in November wraps up, we should expect a more concrete plan on the country’s economic objectives, including government expenditure, which we hope will add impetus to our overall government-weighted IT segment.”

Operating Segments

We report financial and operating information in the following two segments:

(1)	IT segment: The IT segment includes revenues from products and services surrounding a variety of our software core competencies, currently primarily in Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”), Digital Public Security Technologies (“DPST”) and Digital Hospital Information Systems (“DHIS”). IT segment revenues are generated from the sales of software and system integration services, as well as hardware other than display products.

(2)	DT segment: The DT segment includes revenues from products and services surrounding our display technology core competencies, currently primarily in GIS, DPST, education, media, and consumer products. DT segment revenues are generated from sales of hardware and total solutions of hardware integrated with proprietary software and content, as well as services.

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from the sales of our software and hardware products, our fully integrated total solutions, and the related after-sales services. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our revenue was $27.42 million, compared to $28.46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.04 million, or 3.65% . The decrease was primarily due to the challenging macro environment and difficult fiscal environment faced by many public sector clients as a result of the Chinese government’s implementation of macroeconomic tightening policies, which led to a slowdown in projects for our government customers, which traditionally have been our core customer base; and, secondarily, due to our conscious effort to realign our business operations to create a better revenue mix between IT and DT segments and between government and non-government customers.

Product sales increased by $6.84 million, or 52.46%, to $19.89 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $13.04 million in the same period of 2011. Product sales constituted 72.51% of total revenue during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, as compared with 45.82% during the same period in 2011. The increase in product sales primarily reflected our successful marketing campaign in promoting our new DT products and our ability to win significant large DT projects in the emerging China digital education market during the third quarter.

Software sales decreased by $2.88 million, or 42.02%, to $3.97 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $6.85 million for the same period in 2011. Software sales constituted 14.49% of our total revenue, which decreased from 24.08% during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the Chinese government’s continued austere fiscal policies and the curtailment of the massive government economic stimulus package, which led to a slowdown in software projects for our government customers. In addition, we instituted more stringent customer acceptance policies, which limited new projects to those with more solid credit credentials and long-term business prospects in light of the unfavorable government fiscal environment.

Sales of system integration services decreased by $4.79 million, or 58.90%, to $3.34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $8.13 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly the result of the relatively sluggish macro-economic growth in the third quarter of 2012 and a lack of new large system integration solutions engagements in connection with large projects comparable to the Shenzhen Summer Universiade, which was held in August 2011. As a percentage of revenue, system integration sales decreased from 28.58% during the three months ended

September 30, 2011 to 12.19% during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Other revenue decreased by $0.21 million, or 48.4%, from $0.43 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $0.22 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in maintenance services during the current period.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

As indicated in the tables above, our cost of revenues increased by $5.06 million, or 26.64%, to $24.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with $18.98 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenue increased to 87.63% during the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 66.67% in the same period of 2011. As a result, gross margin was 12.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 20.96 percentage points from 33.33% in the same period of 2011.

The decrease in gross profit margins, as displayed in the tables above, resulted from several factors. First, in the three months ended September 30, 2012, we continued our efforts to increase our DT solutions as a percentage of total revenue. The percentage of DT revenue increased from 44.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 73.38% for the same period of 2012. The significant increase in contribution from DT revenue resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as our DT solutions business has lower average gross margins than other segments of our business. Second, due to the Chinese government’s implementation of macroeconomic tightening policies, our government customers reduced software project orders. As a result, the percentage of software revenue decreased from 24.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 14.49% for the same period of 2012. The decrease in contribution from software revenues resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as, on average, software projects have higher average gross margins than other segments of our business. Third, the gross margin of software revenues decreased from the same quarter last year mainly as a result of smaller-scale projects versus last year. Finally, the gross profit margin for our system DT business decreased from 23.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 4.93% for the same period of 2012, primarily due to our strategy of aggressive market penetration and low introductory prices on large projects in the new interactive DT sectors, including education, where early entrants may have industry standard-setting potential and enjoy leading technology reputation. All of these factors resulted in a decrease in overall gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Administrative Expenses

Our administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our administrative expenses increased by $14.41 million, or 278.19%, to $19.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $5.18 million for the same period of 2011. Notable changes that resulted in increased administrative expenses included: (1) an increase of $1.92 million in inventory write downs; (2) an increase of $4.01 million in provision of accounts receivables; (3) an increase of $1.54 million in depreciation and amortization expenses; and (4) an increase of $7.7 million in impairment of purchased software. Our DT segment’s inventory was written down mainly because its traditional LCD business faced continued declining prices due to global oversupply and lack of LCD demand as it faces significant challenges from 3D-TV and OLED technology. The impairment of purchased software reflected the declining market value of certain purchased software in light of the protracted challenging environment in the Chinese government software segment

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, as well as costs associated with new software and hardware development and enhancement. Research and development expenses increased by $0.24 million, or 21.72%, to $1.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.11 million for the same period of 2011. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses accounted for approximately 4.91% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 3.89% for the same period in 2011. Such increase was primarily due to our efforts to develop new products as well as to improve the future profitability of existing products.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staff, sales and after-sales traveling costs, and other sales-related costs. Our selling expenses increased by $0.65 million, or 35.59%, to $2.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.83 million for the same period of 2011. This increase was due to our increasingly nationwide market expansion, which requires increased travel, promotional, and telecommunication expenses, as well as increased total compensation to sales and marketing staff.

Subsidy Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, in connection with research and development activities in a designated locale, we received approximately $365,469 and $475,026, respectively, as a subsidy from the local governmental agency in China.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $0.1 million, from $0.01 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of income before taxes from PRC subsidiaries in the current period.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest of $108,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 represents the loss of $297,130 fee retained by our variable interest entity, iASPEC Software Co., Ltd. (“iASPEC”), under our Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement with iASPEC, income of $192,843 from iASPEC’s majority-owned subsidiary, Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd., to its 47.46% non-controlling interest, and loss of $4,428 from iASPEC’s majority-owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Zhongtian Technology Development Company Ltd., to its 21.79% non-controlling interest.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to the Company

As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, the net loss was $21.44 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to a net income $0.93 million for the same period in 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $6.27 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14.33 million in restricted cash. For nine month period ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $10.27 million, as compared to an operating net cash inflow of $7.22 million in the same period last year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures for earnings that exclude non-cash charges. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-cash charges that management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company’s business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, as these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company. Accordingly, management excludes the expense arising from certain non-cash charges when making operational decisions. The Company also believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand the Company’s financial performance in comparison to historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate the Company’s performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the Company’s management. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, the Company’s management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded.

The following table presents the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release and the most directly comparable GAAP measures and provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
