(firmenpresse) - JINAN, CHINA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/30/11 -- Pansoft Company Limited (NASDAQ: PSOF) ("Pansoft" or the "Company"), a leading ERP software service provider for the oil and gas industry in China, today announced unaudited financial results for the fiscal 2011 business year ended June 30, 2011.

Completed the acquisition of Hefei Langji Technology Co., Ltd., a leading HR solution provider to China's coal-mining industry, and its wholly-owned sales and marketing arm Shanghai Zhongrui for a total of approximately $1.7 million on October 19, 2011
"We are mostly satisfied with our business results for fiscal 2011. We basically achieved our revenue growth target of 60%. The ITLamp acquisition offers us direct access to the Tarim oilfield and enhances Pansoft's presence and sales there. Our stake in HongAo offers us access to its solid base of thermal-power clients and the turnkey solutions it provides. The delay in reaching breakeven at Pansoft-Japan offset an otherwise solid year, and our strategy remains on track. Moreover, the acquisition of Langji technology increases our exposure to China's coal-mining industry," said Hugh Wang, Pansoft's Chairman of the Board. "Still, net income was lower than expected, primarily due to larger-than-expected losses at Pansoft-Japan and a slower pace of revenue recognition at HongAo, which has a large proportion of revenues from completed projects subject to inspection and acceptance from clients. Non-cash charges, which primarily resulted from the accounting treatment of recent acquisitions, also significantly hurt our GAAP bottom-line results. Looking ahead, we are confident about improving our profitability, as our new ventures start to make a positive contribution to Pansoft's profitability."
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were $19.2 million, compared to $12.1 million in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 59.0%, of which, approximately 72.2% was contributed by Pansoft-China and 27.8% by newly acquired businesses.
Cost of sales was $12.8 million, an increase of 104.4% from $6.3 million in the prior fiscal year. 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 $6.4 million, an increase of 10.0% from $5.8 million from the prior fiscal year. Gross margin was 33.3%, as compared to 48.1% in the prior fiscal year. The decline in the gross margin was mainly due to the abovementioned reasons.
Operating expenses were $5.0 million, an increase of 129.2% from $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The increase in operating expense was mainly due to: 1) higher general and administrative expense related to maintaining three additional subsidiary offices and their management teams; 2) amortization of intangible assets from the HongAo and ITLamp acquisitions; and 3) higher sales and marketing expense, particularly at HongAo and Pansoft-Japan.
Operating profit was $1.4 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior fiscal year.
Net income attributable to Pansoft shareholders for the fiscal 2011 business year was $1.4 million, compared to $3.2 million in the prior fiscal year and was lower mainly due to start-up losses at Pansoft-Japan and higher amortization charges related to recent acquisitions. Comprehensive net income attributable to Pansoft shareholders was $2.2 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior fiscal year.
Net income per diluted share attributable to Pansoft shareholders for the 2011 fiscal year was $0.25, as compared to $0.59 in fiscal 2010.
The Company is organized as three segments: (1) design, development, implementation and servicing of ERP systems for the energy industry such as oil/gas and coal mining; (2) provision of technology solutions and related services to thermal power industry; and (3) outsourced mobile phone software testing and development.
represent the core business of the Company and are engaged in the design, development, implementation and servicing of ERP systems for the energy industry such as oil/gas and coal mining, which contributed 81.2% of total revenue for the fiscal 2011 business year and experienced strong growth. In fiscal 2011, revenues increased 29.1% to $15.6 million, up from $12.1 million in fiscal 2010. Cost of revenues increased 47.6% to $9.2 million, primarily due to increases in headcount and new business operations under ITLamp.. Gross profit was $6.3 million, compared to $5.8 million in the year-ago period. Operating expenses increased slightly to $2.5 million, as compared to $2.2 million in the year ago period. Net Income was $3.3 million, an increase of 3.1% from $3.1 million in fiscal 2010. ITLamp, which was acquired in June 2010, operates as an oilfield software development and service provider, primarily serving the Tarim Oilfield in Xinjiang province. In the fiscal 2011 business year, ITLamp recorded revenues of $1.7 million and net income of $0.3 million.
in which Pansoft acquired a 55.01% stake in October 2010, serves the thermal power industry as a technical service provider in Shandong province. Net revenues were $2.4 million (12.7% of total fiscal 2011 revenue) and the net loss was $0.3 million, due to a slower pace of its revenue recognition for ongoing projects.
was established in August 2010 to provide outsourcing functions for Japanese clients, initially in the field of cell-phone software testing. The new testing operation was set up in Jinan, China with a front office in Osaka, Japan. Osaka is more than 600 km from the nuclear power plant damaged by the recent earthquake and was unaffected by this disaster. Team members, including trainees dispatched from China, are safe and are conducting business as usual. Although there was no direct impact from the disasters on Pansoft-Japan's business, business activity was indirectly disrupted from the fiscal third quarter. During the fiscal 2011 business year, Pansoft-Japan incurred start-up losses beyond budget expectations. Net revenues were $1.2 million (6.1% of total fiscal 2011 revenues) and the net loss was $2.1 million. The venture is now expected to break even in the 2012 calendar year.
Note: Total net income includes a loss from Pansoft-BVI in amount of $2,260.
As of June 30, Pansoft had $3.7 million in cash and equivalents, as compared to $2.7 million as of June 30, 2010, the increase mainly due to positive cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents exclude $6.8 million in short-term investments, versus $7.4 million as of June 30, 2010. Total current assets were $23.9 million, as of June 30, 2011, versus $18.8 million as of June 30, 2010, owing to a $2.3 million increase in receivables, a $1.3 million increase in prepayments, deposits and prepaid expenses, a $0.9 million increase in inventory primarily for hardware equipment at HongAo, as well as higher cash and equivalents and higher unbilled revenues, offset by lower short-term investments. Current liabilities were $6.8 million as of June 30, 2011, up from $3.8 million as of June 30, 2010, owing to a $0.5 million acquisition payable for the fair value of restricted shares to be issued and cash consideration to be paid to the sellers of ITLamp, $0.7 million in unearned government research revenue, in addition to $1.6 million in higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $1.8 million in higher deferred revenues, primarily as a result of the slower pace of revenue recognition for the undergoing projects at HongAo. Total stockholders' equity was $23.5 million as of June 30, 2011 versus $19.6 million as of June 30, 2010.
On September 19, 2011, Pansoft announced signed an agreement to acquire all of the equity interests of Hefei Langji Technology Co., Ltd ("Langji") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Zhongrui ("Zhongrui"), on September 9, 2011, for a total purchase price of RMB 10.8 million (approximately $1.69 million). Founded in 2003, Langji is the leading HR solution provider to China's coal-mining industry and is based in Hefei in Anhui province. The company's major customers for its sophisticated human-resource management solutions are large, state-owned coal mining groups. Langji has more than 40 employees and in 2010 had total audited revenue and net income of $1 million and $0.26 million, respectively. Zhongrui, Langji's Shanghai-based sales and marketing arm, will remain a subsidiary of Langji and will focus on small and medium-sized companies in other industries. The acquisition was completed on October 19, 2011.
On October 29, 2010, Pansoft announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the company to repurchase up to $1 million worth of the Company's common shares. The Board extended the stock repurchase program on March 1, 2011. As of December 15, 2011, the Company had repurchased a total of 178,900 shares, of which, 56,100 shares were acquired after June 30, 2011.
In the fiscal 2012 business year, Pansoft expects to continue to experience sustainable organic growth from its existing customer base, mainly PetroChina and Sinopec and their subsidiaries, which accounted for 66% of revenues during fiscal 2011. In the intermediate term, Pansoft plans to expand its focus to include the more than 600 oil and gas subsidiaries of PetroChina, its subsidiary CNPC, and Sinopec, which are large-scale businesses that operate oilfields, refineries, oil and gas pipelines and finished oil sales. These subsidiaries, which still account for less than 5% of Pansoft's total sales, represent a large market opportunity for the Company to expand its client base, leveraging its branding and experience in developing software systems which are already operating at most of these subsidiaries.
Pansoft is also making an aggressive entry into the coal industry. As Chinese coal companies are restructuring into large coal groups, ERP software applicable to large-sized enterprises will increasingly be required. In addition, information management in the coal industry largely lags behind other industries and there are no dominant software leaders in the coal industry. These factors together create more opportunities for Pansoft to increase its market reach in the coal-mining industry.
"Beyond the integration of acquisitions, Pansoft's near-term strategy centers on expanding our addressable market by targeting the many subsidiaries of the Chinese oil and gas companies as well as adjacent sectors such as coal mining. To that end, Pansoft expects to transition from a project-based model to a solution-based model, which can significantly lower on-site development cost and accelerate market expansion. The Company also plans to provide solutions that integrate operational and production management to strengthen its competitive advantages. With a richer and more customized portfolio to balance our revenue structure, we look forward to solid revenue growth in fiscal 2012," commented Mr. Wang.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, Pansoft expects revenues will keep a similar pace of growth as in recent fiscal years, representing approximately 40-60% annual growth.
"We now expect Pansoft-Japan to break even in calendar 2012 due to lower visibility of market conditions. We remain optimistic that this segment's competitive advantage as a low-cost provider remains intact and we remain confident that, once this business passes the startup phase, it will achieve success," concluded Mr. Wang.
