SHENZHEN, China, Aug 19, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- China Unitech Group, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: CUIG), operating through Junlong Culture Communication Co. Ltd ("Junlong"), a leading internet cafe chain operator in China, today announced its financial results for its second quarter of 2010.

-- Gross profit increased 42.4% year-over-year to $2.1 million
-- Operating income increased 31.4% to $1.9 million year-over-year

-- Acquired Lanman and Chaosu internet cafes in April 2010

"We are pleased to report strong second quarter financial results, characterized by double-digit growth in both our top and bottom line. Recently, we acquired two internet cafes and opened six independently managed locations under our "Dragon Surf" brand name. Located in the Longgang and Yantian districts of Shenzhen, these internet cafes contributed favorably to our year-over-year revenue growth of 27.4%. As a leading internet cafe operator, we are committed to providing a safe, entertaining and interactive place for internet users in China," commented Mr. Dishan Guo, Chief Executive Officer of China Unitech Group, Inc.

Second Quarter 2010 Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, net revenue increased 27.4% to $4.6 million, compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. Revenue growth was mainly due to the contribution of six new independently managed internet cafes located in Longgang and Yantian. In April, the Company successfully acquired Lanman and Chaosu internet cafes in Shenzhen, which also contributed favorably to the Company's revenue growth.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 increased by 42.4% to $2.1 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 45.3%, as compared to 40.5% in the comparable period of 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in computer usage time in the second quarter of 2010.

Operating expenses increased 424.3% to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 from $0.04 million for the second quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses attributable to business expansion, increased staff compensation, increase in professional fees related to the Company's status as a public company and the establishment of the Company's new office, which will be ready for occupation in late August 2010.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2010 increased 31.4% to $1.9 million, compared to $1.4 million in the comparable period of 2009. Operating margin was 40.6% in the quarter compared to 39.4% in the second quarter of 2009.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2010 increased 55.0% to $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in net revenue and higher income tax rate of 22% for the second quarter of 2010, up from 20% for the comparable period in 2009.

Net income increased 25.3% to $1.4 million, compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year.

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net revenue was $8.3 million for the first six months of 2010, an increase of 22.1% from $6.8 million for the first six months of 2009. Gross profit was $3.6 million, or 43.9% of revenue, an increase of 34.5% from $2.7 million, or 39.7% of revenue, for the first six months of 2009. Operating income was $3.4 million, or 40.5% of revenue, an increase of 28.0% from $2.6 million, or 38.6% of revenue, for the first six months of 2009. Net income increased 21.7% to $2.6 million for the first six months of 2010, compared to $2.1 million for the same period last year.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $5.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $3.1 million at year-end 2009, working capital of $5.2 million and a current ratio of 3.3:1. As of June 30, 2010, shareholders' equity was $9.9 million, up from $7.0 million at the end of 2009.

In the first half of 2010, the Company generated $3.7 million in cash from operating activities, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.6 million in the same period last year. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which was used for the acquisitions of the Lanman and Chaosu internet cafes in April 2010.

Subsequent Events

In July 2010, the Company completed a share exchange transaction with the shareholders of Classic Bond Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Classic Bond"). Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, China Unitech acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Classic Bond in exchange for 19,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will operate through its variable interest entity in China to execute the current business plan of those affiliates, which involves the operation of a chain of China-based internet cafes. The new public company is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board Market under the ticker symbol "CUIG."

Business Outlook

For the remainder of the year, the Company plans to focus on geographic expansion and expects continued growth in the demand for internet cafes due to the increased population of migrant workers.

"In the second half of this year, we plan to expand our presence to Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, which will enable us to qualify as one of the few national internet cafe operators by the end of 2010. This will mark a significant milestone for us in our quest to expand our footprint outside of Guangdong province. We also plan to open additional, independently managed internet cafes in strategic locations in Shenzhen in order to accelerate penetration of our existing geographic markets. We anticipate market demand for internet cafes to remain strong, which in turn will support our top line performance during the remaining months of this year," commented Mr. Guo.
