"I am very pleased to report that we have delivered the strongest cash flow from operations to date since our IPO in 2007 on the back of outstanding execution from our management and employees. The momentum has accelerated during fiscal 2011 with our organic growth rate for software development revenue of approximately 40% in the first nine months significantly higher than the 30% guidance we gave at the outset of the year while maintaining a relatively stable organic operating margin. With this momentum, we are once again raising guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2011," commented Weizhou Lian, CEO of Longtop. "For fiscal 2012 we continue to see strong demand from our customers that execute on their long-term IT development plans irrespective of short-term changes in macroeconomic factors. Based on our sales pipeline and ongoing discussions with customers about their IT spending plans, Longtop's growth prospects remain bright for fiscal 2012. I believe Longtop's competitive position is stronger than ever and we continue to take market share from our competitors."

Software development revenues of US$72.5 million in the third quarter were US$5.1 million more than Company guidance of US$67.4 million representing an increase of 56.3% YoY and contributing 94.2% of total revenues. Giantstone, a leading core banking solution provider in China acquired by Longtop in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, contributed US$5.3 million in software revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Excluding Giantstone, software development revenues for the third quarter would have increased by 44.9%. Software development revenues, which were 89.5% of total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, amounted to US$166.7 million, a YoY increase of 54.2%. Giantstone contributed US$14.6 million in software development revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Excluding Giantstone, software development revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 would have increased by 40.7%.
Revenues from other services in the third quarter were US$4.4 million, a decrease of 46.4% YoY. The YoY decrease in Other Service revenue is due to a decline in system integration and ATM maintenance services and the deconsolidation of the Non Financial Services IT Outsourcing Services Division on July 17, 2010, which went from being a wholly owned subsidiary to an equity-method investee. The 9.4% YoY increase in other services revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to US$2.9 million in revenue from the IT outsourcing business of Shenzhen Zhongbokechuang Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Zhongbo, which was acquired by Longtop in April 2010 and included within the Non Financial Services IT Outsourcing Services Division.

The YoY decline in Adjusted Software Gross Margin was primarily due to: i) the inclusion of newly acquired companies including Giantstone, which have lower gross margins than Longtop; (ii) in order to meet customer requirements, a larger percentage of the workforce are being located in Beijing where costs per employee are higher; and (iii) additional headcount investments in delivery capabilities for Longtop's expanded solution offerings.

Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter of $35.6 million or US$0.61 per fully diluted share represented a YoY increase of 21.5% and exceeded Company guidance of US$33.1 million or US$0.56 per fully diluted share. The YoY Adjusted Net Income growth of 21.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was less than the YoY Adjusted Operating Income growth of 37.1% primarily because Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 included US$4.0 million (Q3 2011: nil) for a tax benefit related to qualification as a Key Software Company. Excluding the impact of a US$4.0 million (US$0.07 per fully diluted share) tax benefit recorded in Q3 2010, Adjusted Net Income YoY would have increased 40.7%, and 32.6% per fully diluted share. Prior to May 31, 2011, Longtop expects to receive its qualification as a Key Software Company for the calendar year 2010 and would record the estimated corresponding tax benefit of approximately US$5.2 million in the period when it receives the notification.
Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was US$79.2 million, a YoY increase of 28.9%. The YoY Adjusted Net Income growth of 28.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was lower than the YoY Adjusted Operating Income growth of 42.9%, primarily because Adjusted Net Income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 included US$7.0 million (Q1-Q3 2011: nil) in income tax benefits associated with Longtop's qualification as a Key Software Company. Excluding the impact of the US$7.0 million (US$0.13 per fully diluted share) tax benefit recorded in the nine months ended December 2009, Adjusted Net Income YoY would have increased 45.6%, and 33.7% per fully diluted share.
Operating cash flow was US$43.9 million for the third quarter, and US$75.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 49.8% YoY. Unrestricted cash balances at December 31, 2010 less short term borrowings, were US$412.6 million giving the Company significant resources for potential acquisitions in the still fragmented financial IT services sector in China.
"Improving our accounts receivable management was an important objective for us this year. I am particularly pleased to see record high operating cash flow of US$43.9 million in the third quarter and US$75.0 million for the first nine months which further underscores the solidity of business demand and overall management execution at Longtop. During the fiscal third quarter order intake continued to be very strong, the Company was once again able to report higher-than-guided top and bottom line results and our industry leading margins give us significant room for additional investments in our business." commented Derek Palaschuk, CFO of Longtop.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Longtop anticipates, for the quarter ending March 31, 2011:
Total revenues of US$62.7 million and Adjusted Operating Income of US$25.0 million. Giantstone is expected to contribute US$3.5 million of software development revenues.
Excluding the impact of new acquisitions, US GAAP operating income is expected to be approximately US$18.5 million which is US$6.5 million less than Adjusted Operating Income due to Non GAAP adjustments normally made.
For its fiscal year ending March 31, 2011:
Total revenues of US$249.0 million and Adjusted Operating Income of US$113.0 million. Giantstone is expected to contribute US$18.0 million of software development revenues.
Excluding the impact of new acquisitions, US GAAP operating income is expected to be approximately US$2.0 million, or US$111.0 million less than Adjusted Operating Income which includes the US$79.5 million share gift as well as the other Non GAAP adjustments normally made.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE ("ADJUSTED")
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Longtop's management reports and uses non-GAAP ("Adjusted") measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and fully diluted net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures to exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation, exclusion of which we believe is helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures contained in this release and which we discuss below. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Cost of Revenue is defined as cost of revenue excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and (2) amortization and charges for impairment of acquired intangibles.
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Total Revenue less Adjusted Cost of Revenue.
Adjusted Operating Expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred compensation arising on acquisition and goodwill and intangible asset impairment, (3) acquisition related expenses such as fees paid to investment bankers, due diligence and legal costs paid to third parties, (4) post acquisition adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration, or (5) gains or losses on the disposal of businesses or (6) one-time items.
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin less Adjusted Operating Expenses.
Adjusted Loss From Investment in an Associate is defined as loss from investment in an associate excluding (1) non-cash compensation expense and (2) amortization and charges for impairment of acquired intangibles.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted Operating Income plus/minus other income/(expenses), less income taxes and adjusted loss from investment in an associate, excluding if applicable: (1) one-time items and (2) discontinued operations.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares.
One-Time Items, if applicable, are excluded from Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income. These items are one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years. GAAP results include one-time items.
Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures
Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. Longtop's management believes excluding the share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees and especially our senior management, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, as share-based compensation expense does not involve any upfront or subsequent cash outflow, Longtop does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commission and bonus are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense. If we had included share-based compensation expenses in our Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income in Q3 2011, Adjusted Net Income would have been US$2.6 million lower or US$33.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, and our Adjusted Net Income margin would have been 42.8%. If we had included share-based compensation expenses in our Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the nine months ended December 31,2010, Adjusted Net Income would have been US$94.2 million lower or Adjusted Net Loss of US$15.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, and our Adjusted Net Income margin would have been negative.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment and amortization of acquired intangibles is a non-cash expense relating to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as backlog, customer relationships, and intellectual property, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
Acquisition proceeds allocated to deferred compensation arises where a portion of the purchase price paid to shareholders is considered compensation expense rather than purchase price under US GAAP. Deferred compensation arising on acquisition is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of deferred compensation arising on acquisition contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
Prior to April 1, 2009, acquisition-related expenses such as fees paid to investment bankers, due diligence and legal costs paid to third parties, were capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. Subsequent to April 1, 2009, such costs are required to be recorded as an operating expense when incurred. These acquisition-related expenses are not related to the performance of our business lines, are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions.
Prior to April 1, 2009, contingent consideration was generally recorded as an additional purchase price when the contingencies resolved and the consideration became payable. Subsequent to April 1, 2009, we are required to estimate and record the fair value of contingent acquisition consideration as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is re-measured at fair value in each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The contingent acquisition consideration is inconsistent in amount and frequency, and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the growth of the financial services industry in China; the amount and seasonality of IT spending by banks and other financial services companies; competition and potential pricing pressures; our revenue growth and solution and service mix; our ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new solutions and services; our ability to effectively manage our operating costs and expenses; our reliance on a limited number of customers that account for a high percentage of our revenues; a possible future shortage or limited availability of employees; general economic and business conditions; the volatility of our operating results and financial condition; our ability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel and research and development staff; the outbreak of health epidemics; the relocation of our headquarters; People's Republic of China, or PRC, regulatory changes and interpretations; and other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the companies and the industry. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward looking statements are reasonable, they cannot assure you that their expectations will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results. Our actual results of operations for the quarter and nine month ended December 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to us, which is subject to change.
