“We are pleased with our increased

Company, “Looking forward to the Fiscal Year 2016, we expect revenue of $7 million to $10 million; net income of $0 to $0.8
million. We are confident in accomplishing our goals in the next year.”
Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Performance
Revenue
We are a China-based developer and provider
of mobile enterprise solutions. We generate revenue in two ways, from customized software middleware and applications for various
public and private service agencies, which we identify as software solution sales, and from packaged solutions that include both
software and hardware in automation telematics for clients mainly in the manufacturing sector, which we identify as wireless system
solution sales. In the year ended September 30, 2015, although we experienced a significant contraction in our software solution
business and our wireless system solution business, we recognized a large amount of revenue from Jingbian integration project which
was completed by the end of 2014. Thereafter our revenue increased by 42.6% to approximately $8.8 million in the year ended September
30, 2015 from approximately $6.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014.
Our revenue from software solution sales
decreased by 27.3% to approximately $0.14 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.19 million in the
year ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of total revenue, software solution sales decreased from 3.0% to 1.5%.
Our revenue from wireless system solution
sales increased by 44.7% to approximately $8.7 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $6.0 million in
the year ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of total revenue, wireless system solution revenue increased from 97.0% to 98.5%
of our total revenue.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased by 33.1% to
approximately $5.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $4.2 million in the year ended September 30,
2014. The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from wireless system solution. As a percentage
of our total revenues, our cost of sales decreased to 63.7% of revenues in the year ended September 30, 2015 from 68.3% of our
total revenues in the year ended September 30, 2014, which is partially attributable to the fact that the projects the Company
had worked with were old clients and therefore made our work more efficient.
Cost of sales for software decreased by
40.8% to approximately $0.06 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.1 million in the year ended September
30, 2014, representing 1.1% and 2.5% of our total cost of sales and 44.9% and 55.1% of our software revenue in the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cost of sales for wireless system solutions increased by 34.9% to approximately
$5.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $4.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2014, representing
98.9% and 97.5% of total cost of sales and 64.0% and 68.7% of wireless system solution revenues in the fiscal years ended September
2015 and 2014, respectively.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our total gross profit increased by 63.0%
to approximately $3.2 million gross profit in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $2.0 million loss in the year
ended September 30, 2014. Our total gross margin was 36.3% and 31.7% in the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 of total revenue,
respectively. This increase of gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the increase in industry profit and profit margin
and revenue from Jingbian integration project that was partially recognized in the last fiscal year as of September 30, 2015.
Our gross profit for software solution
sales decreased by 10.7% to approximately $75,000 in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $84,000 in the year ended
September 30, 2014. Our gross margin for software solutions sales increased to 55.1% in the year ended September 30, 2015 from
44.9% in the year ended September 30, 2014. This increase of gross margin was primarily due to the increase of system maintenance
contract with less R&D expense. Our gross profit for wireless system solution sales increased by 66.3% to approximately $3.1
million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $1.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. Our gross margin
for wireless system solution sales increased to 36.0% in the year ended September 30, 2015 from 31.3% in the year ended September
30, 2014, which is partially attributable to the higher margin of some of the wireless projects. The increase in gross margins
in both of our business sections above was due to the fact we had higher gross margin projects and smaller up-front investments
with old customers comparing to the last fiscal year.
Loss from Operations
We incurred a loss of $0.6 million in the
year ended September 30, 2015, a 9.8% increase from approximately loss of $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. The
increase in loss from operations was mainly due to significantly higher general and administrative expenses.
Net Income (Loss)
We incurred a net income of $1.0 million
in the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net loss of approximately $1,000 in the year ended September 30, 2014. Basic
and diluted earnings per share was $0.73 in the year ended September 30, 2015, compared to loss per share $0 in the prior year
period. The number of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding was 1,405,000 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital of approximately
$4.2 million, including cash of approximately $2.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.3 million
for the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $0.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. Net cash provided by investing
activities for the year ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $1,000 as compared to net cash used in investing activities
of approximately $137,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year of
2015 was approximately $3.7 million as compared to $2.1 million net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year of 2014.
Financial Outlook
For the fiscal year ending September 30,
2016, management expects revenues of $7 million to $10 million and net income of $0 to $0.8 million.
