Longtop Awarded Contract to Provide Risk Management Solutions for a Leading City Commercial Bank in China

HONG KONG, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Longtop Financial Technologies Limited ("Longtop") (NYSE: LFT), a leading software developer and solutions provider targeting the financial services industry in China, announced that the Company has won a new contract with a leading city commercial bank in China to provide risk management solutions, having successfully delivered data integration and Business Intelligence (BI) solutions to the customer previously.

Under the terms of contract, Longtop will implement an Asset Liability Management (ALM) system for this customer enabling compliance with the regulatory requirements of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and Basel II accord. As an important part of risk management initiatives, the ALM system analyzes a bank's risk profile of financial products in the balance sheet as well as off-balance sheet, including interest rate risk, currency risk and liquidity risk.

Through partnering with world class leading software vendors in the ALM area, Longtop has successfully implemented many ALM projects and gained rich experience in deep domain know-how with reference cases that cover a wide range of large commercial banks, national join-stock banks, big city commercial banks and rural commercial banks in China.

"We are facing the tremendous opportunity that many banks will implement or replace their ALM systems in the near term in light of the more rigorous regulatory requirements that followed the 2008 financial crisis. With our deep domain know-how and wide spectrum of reference cases, complemented by our capabilities in consulting, localization, mature implementation methodology and processes, as well as data integration with our proprietary BI solutions, we believe that we are well positioned in this market. We expect to gain more market share in the ALM solutions area, and even more in Risk Management solution areas," commented Weizhou Lian, Chief Executive Officer of Longtop.

According to market research firm IDC, risk management will be one of the investment hotpots in the management solutions segment, growing at a CAGR of 23.8% to a total of RMB1,016 million in 2014. Longtop ranked #2 in this market segment with 8.8% market share in 2009.
