PRESS RELEASE

Bonso Reports Half Year Results

HONG KONG, February 24, 2022 (Globe Newswire) -- Bonso Electronics International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNSO) today announced its unaudited results for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Bonso reported a net loss for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, of $2.10 million, or $0.44 basic loss per share, as compared to net income of $0.20 million, or $0.04 basic and diluted earnings per share, posted during the six-month period ended September 30, 2020. Net revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, decreased 26.1% to $6.0 million from $8.1 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020. The decreased net income resulted principally from the decrease in revenue related to the Company’s pet electronic products for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Mr. Andrew So, President and CEO stated: “Our net revenue during the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, decreased as a result of decreased sales of pet electronic products through online sales channels. Due to competition from other similar products, both selling price and sales volume decreased. We continue to manufacture new pet electronic products and purchase other related products to increase our sales and market share.”

Furthermore, Mr. So stated: “The required government approvals for the redevelopment of our old factory site in Shenzhen have been delayed due to the pandemic. Further, we believe the recent liquidity problems of several of China’s largest property developers have contributed to governmental delays across the property development sector. . We are working with our development partner to obtain the remaining governmental approvals for the redevelopment of the Shenzhen factory. The redevelopment project has been delayed, and this will affect the timing on completion of the project.”
