"Gross profit has shown significant improvement with a 115 percent year-over-year increase, a sign that our strategy of integration and product synergy is keeping our costs under control as our revenues continue to expand. As domestic consumption becomes a more important driver of an increasingly sophisticated Chinese economy, we expect to see growing IT software and service spending in the retail sector to improve China's supply chain management infrastructure. We believe that eFuture is ideally positioned to capitalize on this growth, and we remain confident in our ability to provide the high-performance supply chain management solutions demanded by our discerning base of Fortune 500 and leading domestic clients."

-- Sales contracts increased 127.1% to RMB41.5 million (US$6.1 million)

software-as-a-service website connecting retailers to their suppliers
and enabling them to more efficiently and effectively share information
and manage work processes. In April, the company announced that

website's first retail subscriber.
-- During the quarter, eFuture completed function and stability testing of
its jindian.com.cn B2B website for small to medium-size
suppliers and retailers. The company additionally launched an
operational pilot of the website in Qingdao in July 2008, in
Shijiazhuang in August 2008 and expects to begin testing in Wuhan next
month. The company expects to roll the website out nationwide in the
first half of 2009.
-- On September 3, 2008, eFuture signed an engagement letter with Grant
Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton"). eFuture's audit committee has
approved the engagement, and pending shareholder approval at eFuture's
annual shareholder meeting, Grant Thornton will replace Hansen, Barnett
& Maxwell, P.C. as the company's independent registered public
accounting firm beginning in the third fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2008.
"During the quarter, we focused on completing the integration of our acquisitions and bringing our new businesses up to speed. We have completed the integration of Proadvancer into its own Logistics Business Unit, which will allow us to efficiently allocate the resources necessary to provide world-class logistics software alongside our existing line of supply chain management solutions," Mr. Yan continued. "Wangku, in which we recently increased our ownership to 51 percent, has begun adding to our sales contracts, and we expect the company to account for between 15 and 20 percent of our total revenue in 2008."
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2008
Revenue
eFuture reported total revenue of RMB24.2 million (US$3.5 million) for the second quarter of 2008, a 103.9% increase from RMB11.8 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Software sales in the second quarter of 2008 increased 14.1% to RMB8.7 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB7.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. Software sales contributed 36.1% to total revenue in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 64.4% in the second quarter of 2007, reflecting an increasing percentage of revenue derived from maintenance and consulting services as eFuture's customers have begun to pay for these services after an initial year of complimentary maintenance and consulting services.
Hardware sales in the second quarter of 2008 increased 24.6% to RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million) from RMB2.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. Hardware sales contributed 12.1% to total revenue in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 19.7% in the second quarter of 2007.
Service fee income in the second quarter of 2008 increased 568.2% to RMB12.5 million (US$1.8 million) from RMB1.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Service fee income contributed 51.9% to total revenue in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was largely due to eFuture's policy to provide complimentary maintenance for its products in the first year of operation, after which it begins to charge maintenance and support fees.
Gross Margins
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 was RMB13.8 million (US$2.0 million), a 115.0% increase from RMB6.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross profit (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 would have been RMB15.7 million (US$2.3 million), an increase of 136.7% from the second quarter of 2007.
Consolidated gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 57.1%, compared to 54.1% in the second quarter of 2007 and 33.6% in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in gross margin was largely due to an increase in the percentage of revenue derived from service fees, which has a higher margin than hardware and software sales revenue. Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross margin (Non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 would have been 65.0%, compared to 56.0% in the second quarter of 2007 and 61.2% in the first quarter of 2008.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were RMB0.2 million (US$0.03 million), or 0.9% of total revenue, compared to 0.5% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2007 and 1.2% in the first quarter of 2008.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were RMB8.1 million (US$1.2 million), or 33.4% of total revenue, compared to 22.6% in the second quarter of 2007 and 56.2% in the first quarter of 2008. The high percentage of general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2008 was mainly due to bad debt expenses caused by a significant increase in accounts receivable at the end of first quarter of 2008 of RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million). Bad debt expenses in the second quarter of 2008 fell to RMB1.7 million (US$0.2 million) as a result of improved collection of accounts receivable.
Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million), or 17.7% of total revenue, compared to 20.2% in the second quarter 2007 and 26.8% in the first quarter of 2008.
Total share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were RMB0.8 million (US$0.1 million).
Operating income in the second quarter of 2008 was RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) compared to RMB1.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 and an operating loss of RMB7.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Operating margin was 5.1% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 10.8% in the second quarter of 2007 and -50.5% in the first quarter of 2008.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was RMB2.8 million (US$0.4 million), compared to net losses of RMB1.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 and RMB9.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. Net margin was 11.6% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to -9.1% in the second quarter of 2007 and -65.8% in the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 was RMB7.2 million (US$1.1 million), compared an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of RMB0.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 was RMB2.41 (US$0.35), compared to a adjusted losses per share (non-GAAP) of RMB0.07 in the second quarter of 2007.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008 were each RMB0.94 (US$0.14).
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2008 was RMB4.9 million (US$0.7 million), compared to RMB2.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 and a loss of RMB1.4 million in the first quarter of 2008.

The company expects 2008 adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to be in the range of approximately US$5 million to US$6 million, representing annual growth of 72% to 106%.

Among other things, 2008 financial outlook and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as strategic and operational plans, contain forward- looking statements. eFuture may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to first parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: eFuture's anticipated growth strategies; eFuture's future business development, results of operations and financial condition; expected changes in the company's revenues and certain cost or expense items; eFuture's ability to attract customers and leverage its brand; eFuture's timely receipt of payment from customers under new and existing contracts; trends and competition in the software industry; the company's ability to hire, train and retain qualified managerial and other employees; the company's ability to develop new software and pilot new business model at desirable locations in a timely and cost-effective manner; the expected growth of the Chinese economy software market in retail and consumer goods industries; and Chinese governmental policies relating to private managers and operators of software and applicable tax rates.
Further information regarding these and other risks is included in eFuture's annual report on Form 20-F and other documents filed with the SEC. All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of September 8, 2008, and the company undertakes no duty to update such information or any other forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.
This announcement contains translations of certain amounts from Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all currency translations are made at a rate of RMB6.8591 to US$1.00, the effective noon buying rate on June 30, 2008.
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 EDITDA 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
