Ms. Ping Yu, Chief Financial Officer of eFuture, said, "We are delighted to have returned to growth, with our top line expanding 21% during our seasonally slowest quarter, allowing us to exceed the top end of our guidance range by 11.3%. Rapidly expanding demand for our logistics solutions, as well as our grocery and department store solutions, drove growth during the quarter. We maintained our focus on optimising our revenue mix, with service fee income accounting for over half of total revenue. We believe that innovation is key to our future growth as it allows us to further broaden our service offering, in particular maintenance, consulting and eService, and this in turn helps mitigate the impact of seasonality. Our solid top-line performance puts us on track to achieve our financial objective of profitable growth over the long term."
Mr. Dehong Yang, President, added, "During the first quarter, we saw increased expenditure from customers investing in software and services to open new stores and warehouses. Our strong momentum was driven by solid execution in both our large accounts and our fast-growing tier2 and tier3 markets in China. We restructured our sales organization from a product driven model to a customer driven model by building major account teams and three regional sales teams focused on North, South and East China. To achieve margin expansion, we aim to deliver solid top-line growth, coupled with disciplined expense management and rationalisation of our cost structure."
Mr. Adam Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As our customers continue to invest for profitable growth, eFuture is well-positioned to benefit due to our leading brand in China and our one-stop, end-to-end integrated portfolio of products and services that improve the liquidity and efficiency of the front-end supply chain from factory to consumer.
"Following a healthy start to 2010, we look forward to delivering consistent revenue growth by capitalizing on the ongoing market rebound. Strengthening our software core business while simultaneously increasing recurring maintenance service and eService revenues remains our strategy to drive growth going forward," Mr. Yan concluded.
First Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Revenue
Revenue for the first quarter 2010 increased 20.9% to RMB16.7 million (US$2.5 million) from RMB13.8 million in the first quarter 2009.
Software license revenues increased by 15.7% year-over-year to RMB5.7 million (US$838,617), primarily attributable to a continued rebound in our Grocery, Hypermarket & Supermarket and Department Store & Shopping Mall Strategic Business Units (SBUs) due to improved economic conditions.
Hardware revenues increased by 56.2% year-over-year to RMB2.2 million (US$319,203). eFuture undertook a number of initiatives to revamp its organization during first quarter 2010 in order to bolster its earnings power and implement structural reforms aimed at new growth. The establishment of a Software Service and Integration SBU in the first quarter 2010 resulted in more clearly defined business unit responsibilities, making the Company better positioned to supply customers with hardware. Although not an area of focus for eFuture, the Company needs to provide hardware as part of its total solution, as a complement to its other offerings.
Service fee income increased by 17.7% year-over-year to RMB8.8 million (US$1.3 million), and accounted for 52.7% of total revenue in the first quarter, as compared to 54.1% in the same period last year. The year-over-year rise in service fee income was largely attributable to the booking of revenue in the first quarter relating to the delivery of contracts signed during the second half of 2009 amid the market upturn.

Gross Profit
First quarter 2010 gross profit increased 19.4% year-over-year to RMB5.4 million (US$788,730), from RMB4.5 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Consolidated gross margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 32.2%, compared with 32.6% in the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher salaries for technical employees.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for the first quarter 2010 increased 639.4% year-over-year to RMB691,804 (US$101,351), or 4.1% of total revenues, compared with RMB93,566, or 0.7% of total revenues in the first quarter 2009. The significant year-over-year increase resulted from booking expenses at an earlier stage of development than was the case in the previous year.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2010 increased 32.4% year-over-year to RMB10.4 million (US$1.5 million), or 62.4% of total revenue, compared with RMB7.9 million, or 57.0% of total revenue in the first quarter 2009. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased year-over-year due to the continued implementation of a share option scheme to offer enhanced incentives to senior and middle management, as well as to higher rental expenses incurred due to operational expansion.
Selling and distribution expenses for the first quarter 2010 increased 38.8% year-over-year to RMB7.7 million (US$1.1 million), or 46.3% of total revenue, compared with RMB5.6 million, or 40.3% of total revenue in the first quarter 2009. The increase in selling and distribution costs was primarily due to continued investment in building the Company's regional sales teams in line with its goal of strengthening penetration in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Operating Loss
Operating loss in the first quarter 2010 was RMB13.5 million (US$2.0 million), compared with an operating loss of RMB9.0 million in the first quarter 2009.
Net Loss and EBITDA
As a result of the foregoing, first quarter 2010 net loss was RMB10.9 million (US$1.6 million) compared with a net loss of RMB7.5 million in the first quarter 2009.
Basic and diluted losses per share in the first quarter 2010 were RMB3.14 (US$0.44), compared to basic and diluted losses per share of RMB2.22 in the first quarter.
Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) for the first quarter was RMB5.1 million (US$752,765), compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB2.8 million in the first quarter 2009.
First quarter 2010 non-GAAP adjusted diluted losses per share were RMB1.46 (US$0.21), compared to losses per share of RMB0.82 in the first quarter 2009.
EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter 2010 was minus RMB7.3 million (minus US$1.1 million), compared to minus RMB4.2 million in the first quarter 2009.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2010, net cash from operating activities was minus RMB9.2 million (minus US$1.3 million), while net cash used in investing activities was RMB10.5 million (US$1.5 million), relating largely to the final cash payment for Proadvancer, the logistics solutions and service provider that the Company acquired in 2008.
As of March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were RMB39.8 million (US$5.8 million), which was a 6.5% decrease compared with RMB42.5 million at the end of March 2009.
Total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2010 decreased 51.1% to RMB10.4 million (US$1.5 million) from RMB21.3 million as of March 31, 2009. This improvement was mainly attributable to enhanced management of accounts receivable collections.
Inventories as of March 31, 2010 increased to RMB10.2 million (US$1.5 million), compared with RMB6.9 million as of March 31, 2009, as some of eFuture's contracts were still classified as work in process. They will become costs when they reach the point of revenue recognition.
Second Quarter 2010 Guidance
eFuture expects total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 to be in the range of approximately US$3.5 million to US$3.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2010 is expected to range between a loss of US$0.8 million and a loss of US$1.3 million.

Currency Convenience Translation
For the convenience of readers, certain RMB amounts have been translated into US dollars at the rate of RMB6.8258 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate for US dollars in effect on March 31, 2010 for cable transfers of RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement eFuture's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, eFuture uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses, depreciation, adjusted net income excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
eFuture believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective or be indicative of its operating performance. eFuture believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to eFuture's historical performance and liquidity. eFuture computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The accompanying paragraphs have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
eFuture's management also believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, eFuture's management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the software industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments that eFuture has made in property, equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of the Company's cost structure. eFuture's management believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains eFuture considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business.
The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Further, share-based compensation expenses have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of eFuture's financial results. The term EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing eFuture's operating and financial performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for its net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as eFuture does.
