Mr. Adam Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of eFuture, said, "I am pleased to report that we saw a further rebound in two of our strategic business units (SBUs), Department Store & Shopping Mall and Logistics, with increased revenue from both existing and new customers in the fourth quarter of 2009. This underpinned the continued recovery of our business and allowed us to deliver full-year revenue within our guidance range. Despite the challenging market environment and uncertainty that characterized 2009, we never lost our focus on innovation, which we believe is the cornerstone of our growth going forward. In 2009, we significantly strengthened our market position through investment in new releases of core software solutions and sales-related activities to further strengthen penetration into tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Additionally, we continued to broaden our service offering in order to generate new revenue streams and mitigate the impact of seasonality. In terms of revenue mix, we continued to shift towards a higher margin structure, with service fee income increasing to 38.1% of total revenue in 2009 from 33.6% in 2008.
Mr. Yan concluded, "Looking forward, we believe we are well positioned to deliver consistent top-line growth as our customers and end markets continue to recover. As of December 31, 2009, eFuture's contracts backlog was approximately US$7.2 million, around 80% of which we expect to recognize in 2010. In addition, we secured a number of new customers during 2009, the majority of which have completed pilot projects and are preparing for nationwide rollout of our systems and services in 2010. For 2010, we will put in place a plan to improve our cost structure with a focus on further margin expansion. Building on the ongoing market rebound in 2010, we will drive growth by continuing to strengthen our software core business while expanding beyond the core to develop recurring maintenance service and e-service revenues."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results
Revenue
Revenue for the fourth quarter 2009 decreased 17.8% to RMB61.1 million (US$9.0 million) from RMB74.3 million in the fourth quarter 2008. Revenue during the quarter was primarily driven by eFuture's Department Store & Shopping Mall, Logistics, and Grocery, Hypermarket & Supermarket units.
Total fiscal year 2009 revenue decreased 12.5% to RMB122.3 million (US$18.0 million) from RMB139.9 million in 2008, due to weakness in the Department Store & Shopping Mall, Logistics, and Grocery, Hypermarket & Supermarket SBUs during the first three quarters of the year as a result of the economic slowdown.

Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 decreased 30.9% to RMB33.3 million (US$4.9 million) from RMB48.2 million in fourth quarter 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume and lower labor costs relating to software implementation and delivery.
The cost of revenue for the full year 2009 decreased 14.1% to RMB70.6 million (US$10.3 million) from RMB82.1 million in 2008. While primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume, the decline in cost of revenue was also due to improved cost of software in 2009.

Gross Profit
Fourth quarter 2009 gross profit increased 6.3% year-over-year to RMB27.8 million (US$4.1 million), from RMB26.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Full year 2009 gross profit decreased 10.3% year-over-year to RMB51.8 million (US$7.6 million), from RMB57.8 million in the fourth quarter 2008.
Consolidated gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 45.5% compared with 35.2% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Consolidated gross margin for the full year 2009 was 42.3% compared with 41.3% in 2008, primarily due to the slight improvement in software and hardware gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter 2009 decreased 67.7% year-over-year to RMB1.9 million (US$278,494), or 3.1% of total revenues, compared with RMB5.9 million, or 7.9% of total revenues in the fourth quarter 2008. Research and development expenses for the full year 2009 decreased 61.4% year-over-year to RMB2.5 million (US$368,291), or 2.1% of total revenues, compared with RMB6.5 million, or 4.7% of total revenues in 2008. The change was due to product launches following the successful completion of product development and pilot phases.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter 2009 decreased 3.5% year-over-year to RMB16.9 million (US$2.5 million), or 27.7% of total revenues, compared with RMB17.6 million, or 23.6% of total revenue in the fourth quarter 2008. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased year-over-year as a result of provision for employees' social security having been made on a quarterly basis during 2009, in contrast to a yearly basis in the fourth quarter 2008 relating to the full year 2008. Additionally, the impairment of assets in the fourth quarter 2008 contrasted with no impairment in 2009.
General and administrative expenses for the full year 2009 increased 3.8% year-over-year to RMB42.0 million (US$6.2 million), or 34.3% of total revenue, compared with RMB40.5 million, or 28.9% of total revenue in 2008. The year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the 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 fourth quarter 2009 increased 76.0% year-over-year to RMB11.3 million (US$1.7 million), or 18.5% of total revenues, compared with RMB6.4 million, or 8.7% of total revenue in the fourth quarter 2008. Selling and distribution expenses for the full year 2009 increased 64.8% year-over-year to RMB34.3 million (US$5.0 million), or 28.0% of total revenue, compared with RMB20.8 million, or 14.9% of total revenue in 2008. The increase in selling and distribution costs for the fourth quarter and full year 2009 was primarily due to higher salaries and continued investment in sales and marketing activities, such as client meetings and associated travel costs, and the redeployment of the sales force in order to continue penetration of tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Operating Loss
Operating loss in the fourth quarter 2009 improved to RMB2.3 million (US$343,321), compared with an operating loss of RMB3.7 million in the fourth quarter 2008. The improvement was mainly attributable to the slight increase in software sales gross margin.
Operating loss in the full year 2009 was RMB27.0 million (US$4.0 million), compared with an operating loss of RMB10.0 million in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the combination of a decrease in sales volume during the market slowdown and an increase in selling and distribution expenses to capitalise on improving market conditions towards the end of 2009.
Net Profit/Loss and EBITDA
As a result of the foregoing, fourth quarter 2009 net loss was RMB1.1 million (US$156,902) compared with net losses of RMB5.8 million in the fourth quarter 2008 and RMB4.2 million in the third quarter 2009. Full year 2009 net loss was RMB24.1 million (US$3.5 million) compared with a net loss of RMB4.5 million in 2008.
Basic and diluted losses per share in the fourth quarter 2009 improved to RMB0.32 (US$0.05), compared to basic and diluted losses per share of RMB1.81 in the fourth quarter 2008 and RMB1.24 in the third quarter 2009. Basic and diluted losses per share in the full year 2009 were RMB7.16 (US$1.05), compared to basic and diluted losses per share of RMB1.39 in 2008.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter improved to RMB7.2 million (US$1 million), compared to an adjusted net income of RMB168,705 in the fourth quarter 2008. Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) for the full year 2009 was RMB1.6 million (US$239,365), compared to an adjusted net profit of RMB15.6 million in 2008.
Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share improved to RMB2.06 (US$0.30), compared to RMB0.05 in the fourth quarter 2008. Full year 2009 adjusted non-GAAP diluted loss per share was RMB0.47 (US$0.07), compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of RMB4.99 in 2008.
EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter 2009 improved to RMB6.3 million (US$918,155), compared to RMB2.5 million in the fourth quarter 2008. EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the full year 2009 was minus RMB3.5 million (US$506,919), compared to RMB10.9 million in 2008.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2009, net cash outflow from operating activities was RMB10.2 million (US$1.5 million), while net cash used in investing activities was RMB12.0 million (US$1.8 million).
As of December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were RMB59.1 million (US$8.7 million), which was a 2.8% decrease compared with RMB60.8 million at the end of 2008.
Total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 decreased 17.7% to RMB16.0 million (US$2.3 million) from RMB19.5 million as of December 31, 2008. This improvement was mainly attributable to enhanced management of accounts receivable collections.
Inventories as of December 31, 2009 increased to RMB5.8 million (US$0.8 million), compared with RMB2.9 million as of December 31, 2008, 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.
First Quarter 2010 Guidance
To better reflect the dynamics of eFuture's business, the Company has decided to provide quarterly guidance instead of annual guidance. eFuture expects total revenues for the first quarter of 2010 to be in the range of approximately US$1.8 million to US$2.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2010 is expected to range between a loss of US$0.9 million and a loss of US$1.2 million.

Currency Convenience Translation
For the convenience of readers, certain RMB amounts have been translated into US dollars at the rate of RMB6.8259 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate for US dollars in effect on December 31, 2009 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.
