Adjusted Software Development Gross Margin for fiscal 2010 declined 150 basis points from fiscal 2009 to 71.4%. This slight decline was primarily due to the following factors: (i) the inclusion of Sysnet, which has lower gross margins than Longtop, (ii) Longtop is investing in its software development consulting and professional services business which has lower incremental gross margins than Longtop’s historical Adjusted Software Development Gross Margin, (iii) in order to meet customer requirements a larger percentage of the workforce are being located in higher cost centers such as Beijing and (iv) cost of revenue associated with the Giantstone acquisition which closed in January 2010 without any corresponding revenue from Giantstone. Customized software solutions as a percentage of Software Development revenue was 64.2% in fiscal 2010 and basically unchanged from 65.1% in fiscal 2009. At March 31, 2010, Longtop had 2,492 software delivery staff including Giantstone, as compared to 1,310 at March 31, 2009.
Adjusted Other Services Gross Margin for fiscal 2010 declined to 38.0% from 49.0% in 2009 due primarily to a gross margin reduction from the ATM physical maintenance business.
Full year 2010 Adjusted Total Gross Margin of 66.7% was equal to the Company’s previous guidance.

Adjusted Net Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, of US$16.3 million or US$0.28 per fully diluted share increased by 48.2% as compared to Adjusted Net Income of US$11.0 million in the corresponding year ago period, and exceeded Company Guidance for Adjusted Net Income of US$15.5 million and US$0.26 for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.
During the fourth quarter, Longtop recorded a total of $4.5 million for intangible assets and goodwill impairment charges related to an Other Services business acquired in fiscal 2009. US GAAP and Adjusted Net Income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, includes US$3.8 million (US$0.07 per fully diluted share) for an income tax benefit recorded in Q3 2010 (“Q3 2010 Income Tax Benefit”) associated with Longtop’s qualification as a Key Software Company for the 2009 calendar year. Excluding the Q3 2010 Income Tax Benefit, Adjusted Net Income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, would have increased 43.2% as compared to Adjusted Net Income of US$51.6 million in fiscal 2009. US GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, excluding the US$3.8 million Q3 2010 Income Tax Benefit, would have increased 27.1% as compared to US GAAP net income of US$43.5 million in the corresponding year ago period.
Operating cash flow was US$13.2 million and US$62.9 million for fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
Unrestricted cash balances at March 31, 2010, were US$331.9 million.
Commenting on the results, Derek Palaschuk, CFO of Longtop, said: “In the fourth quarter revenue once more substantially exceeded our previous guidance, demonstrating the continuing strong demand for Longtop solutions. Even with the inclusion of $1.1 million in operating losses from consolidating Giantstone, our operating and net income was still well above guidance. Our continuous efforts to further improve overall business execution were underscored by a strong cash flow from operations of $62.9 million for fiscal 2010. Looking ahead, our positive business momentum, stable margin structure and strong cash balance form a solid foundation to consolidate our leadership position in China’s financial technology industry in fiscal 2011.”
BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Total revenues of US$44.5 million, Adjusted Operating Income of US$18.0 million, Adjusted Net Income of US$16.1 million and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share of US$0.28.

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 that we believe are 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 which would have, prior to April 1, 2009, been included as a cost of acquisition under GAAP; (4) post acquisition adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration which would have, prior to April 1, 2009, been included as a cost of acquisition under GAAP or (5) one-time items.
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin less Adjusted Operating Expenses.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted Operating Income plus/minus other income/(expenses), less income taxes, 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 the 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 fiscal 2010, Adjusted Net Income would have been US$7.7 million lower or US$70.0 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, and our Adjusted Net Income margin would have been 4.5% lower.
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 a 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.
