SHENZHEN, China, May 11 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Sino Assurance Inc. (OTC: SNAS) today reported its first quarter results ended March 31, 2010. Sino Assurance's net income was $585,697 and EPS was $0.01, compared with $14,749 or $0.00 in the first quarter of 2009.

First-Quarter Financial Results

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company's revenues totaled $1,894,270, up 160% versus $727,416 in the first quarter of last year. Higher balances of cash advance guarantee services contributed the largest share of the growth in total revenue during the first quarter. Gross profit margin for the quarter was 82% up from 74% in the first quarter of 2009. The increase reflected the growing demand for credit services, success of bank facility arrangement and effective cost control measures.

Income from operations reached $765,942 in the first quarter of 2010 compared with $19,847 in the same period in 2009 driven by growth in net revenue and lower level of insurance claims. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.01, compared with $0.00 for the first quarter in 2009.

Financial Outlook

Our management believes that sustained growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with the demands for the financial services, primarily in the form of credit guaranty. Other expected drive elements include company's new personal credit products and services as well as potential impact of the regulatory governance in credit guaranty market.

Revenue projection for whole year 2010 is between $14 million and $15 million, and expected EPS for 2010 is between $0.08 and $0.09.
