TRADING UPDATE
Sinosoft, the China-based developer and provider of software and IT solutions to
Chinese regional and national government agencies and export enterprises, is
pleased to announce an update on trading prior to the Company's half-year end on
30 June 2009.
As previously stated, Sinosoft has adopted a strategy of broadening the base of
the overall business and this remains the focus for FY2009. Sinosoft's revenue
continues to be weighted to the second half and whilst contract delays and
deferrals have resulted in revenues being slightly down in the first half of
2009, the pipeline for the second half is strong. Management is confident that
many of the deferred government contracts will commence in H2 and that trading
for the full year will broadly in line with 2008.
The Company continues to grow beyond Jiangsu province and it is pleased to
announce that it has recently won a new contract worth approximately US$0.2
million to supply its e-government software to Nan An, one of the 12 major
cities in Chongqing, the largest and most populated municipality in China.
Sinosoft will create and install a system to enable people to submit reports and
application forms such as public housing forms and marriage application forms,
remotely to any government departments within Nan An. The system will then
route the information to the applicable government department for processing. We
expect work to be completed within the next three months.
This contract is an important step forward for Sinosoft's e-government division
because it is the Company's first move into south west China where it is
believed by the management that there is significant potential for the Company's
products.
Elsewhere, the Company has recently signed a contract to provide e-government
products to Ning Xia province. In order to reduce corruption in the government
approval process for applications submitted by citizens requiring various
permits, Sinosoft will be supplying software to help the provincial
government ensure that each department is following the stated procedure for
their different roles and proper authorisation is obtained for each step of the
approval process.
We are currently in advanced discussions with a top PRC software company, for
the provision of our Skytech Reports Software, which was developed in 2008 as an
e-government product. There is further potential for this product to be supplied
to corporate sector clients.
In June 2009, the Company entered into a two year outsourcing contract to
collaborate with Singalab Pte Ltd, a Singapore IT company in the provision of
programming and coding work for a project they are working on. In the initial
phase of the contract, two engineers will be stationed in Singapore for a month
while 12 other engineers based in PRC will provide additional technical support.
It is expected that the number of engineers will gradually increase as the
project progresses. By collaborating with Singalab, there is potential for
Sinosoft to expand its outsourcing business.
During this relatively quiet period in terms of roll-out of the SAT, the Company
has been improving the functionality of its export tax software and creating a
number of bolt-on services for existing users in Jiangsu. By working on these
improvements, Sinosoft has a more comprehensive suite of products in
anticipation of renewed demand once exports in China start to recover and the
economic environment is more stable.
