Fourth-Quarter 2010 Financial Results

For Q4, our revenue was $4.81 million, compared to $2.81 million in the same period of 2009, an increase of $2.00 million, or 71.04%. Higher balances of cash advance guarantee services contributed the largest share of the growth in total revenue during the fourth quarter. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 87% up from 80% in the same period of 2009. The increase reflected the growing demand for credit services, the success of bank facility arrangement and our effective cost control measures

Income from operations reached $2.90 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $1.74 million in the same period of 2009, which was mainly due to the growth in net revenue and lower levels of insurance claims. GAAP diluted EPS for the fourth quarter was $0.04, compared to $0.02 for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Full-Year 2010 Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our revenue was $12.15 million up 96.0% from $6.20 million for the year ended December 2009. Net income was $4.95 million ($0.08 per share), compared to $2.16 million ($0.02 per share) for 2009. Gross profit was $10.23 million, up 114% from $4.79 million in 2009. Gross margin was 85%, up 7% from 78% last year. Operating income increased to $6.51 million, operating margin was 54%, as a result of higher gross margin.

Working capital increased to $9.90 million, compared to $7.58 million at the end of the third quarter 2010. Total debt increase to $13.35 million, compared to $10.40 million at the end of the third quarter of 2010.

Financial Outlook

The company believes that the opportunities for sustained growth in revenue and earnings will be largely associated with the customer demand for the financial services provided by the Company, which primarily take the form of credit guaranty. Other elements expected to drive the growth in revenue include the potential impact of the regulatory governance of the credit guaranty market and development of the company's new personal credit products and services.

For fiscal year 2011, the company updates its guidance with projected revenue in the range of $23 million to $24 million, and the EPS in the range of $0.16 to $0.17.
