China Skyrise Announces First-Quarter 2010 Results
Revenue More Than Tripled Year-Over-Year to $1.3 Million
SHENZHEN, China, May 18 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Skyrise Digital Service Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSKD) ("China Skyrise" or the "Company") recently announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
First Quarter Results
Revenues totaled approximately $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, a strong increase of 231.9%, versus $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2009. The strong increase in revenue was due to the recovery of the Chinese real- estate market owing to government stimulus programs and a significant increase in spending by real-estate developers. In addition, in the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted a conservative strategy in marketing and sales and turned down projects that required a large upfront cash outlay, which further reduced sales in the year-ago quarter.
"We are delighted to see a continuing recovery of demand for our digital intercom products and solutions amid a broad turnaround in the China real- estate development market, as well as an acceleration in the rate of upgrades from analog to digital solutions," said Mr. Mingchun Zhou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Skyrise. "Revenues more than tripled in the first quarter, and our market share continued to expand."
Cost of goods sold climbed by 229.2% to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, or 53.4% of sales, from $0.5 million, or 53.8% of sales in the prior period, largely in line with increased sales.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $0.6 million, or 46.6% of sales, compared with $0.4 million, or 46.2% of sales, for the same period of 2009, underscoring a recovery in gross margins, which amounted to 31.5% in 2009.
Operating expenses totaled approximately $331,590 for the first quarter of 2010, up 26.5% from $262,127 in the same period of 2009. Total operating expenses amounted to 25.0% of sales in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 65.7% in the first quarter of 2009. Selling expenses declined 5.7% year over year to $91,702 million, again due to the company's cash-conservation measures in the year-ago quarter. General and administrative expenses, though, grew 45.5% year over year to $0.2 million, as the Company added more employees and incurred more human resource-related costs. Research and development expenses were $116,209 in the quarter, amounting to 8.8% of revenues.
Operating income was $0.3 million compared to an operating loss of $77,872 in the first quarter of 2009.
Interest expense decreased to $6 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $5,364 in the same period in 2009, primarily due to maturity of the Company's short term debt.
The Company's net income in the first quarter of 2010 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, a significant improvement from a net loss of $9,490, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The number of shares outstanding increased to 21.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 from 17.0 million in the comparable period of 2009 due to the effect of a share-exchange transaction on September 25, 2010.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2010, China Skyrise had $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.1 million in working capital. Cash flow from operations decreased to ($0.1 million) from $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable from an increase in the number of contracts received and in contract size, as well as from increased inventory. As of March 31, 2010 the Company had $0.4 million of short-term debt, no long-term liabilities, and shareholders' equity was $4.8 million.
Business Outlook
China Skyrise remains optimistic about China's security surveillance sector, and management estimates that the market for video surveillance is growing at an annual rate of 15% or greater. Management believes that the Company is set to continue to gain market share within its traditional strong foothold in China's residential real estate industry and further plans to grow revenues through offering systems-on-a-chip (SOCs) to analog intercom manufacturers and value-added services to consumers.
While the Company continues to gain market share with its low-end digital solutions displacing competitors' high-end analog solutions, management believes that China Skyrise also stands to benefit from analog-to-digital upgrades of existing residential neighborhoods, which represents a huge potential market.
"With continuous product innovation and strong brand recognition, we are optimistic about our financial performance in 2010. The first quarter is usually the seasonally slowest due to a slowdown in residential construction around the Chinese Spring Festival. We are confident that our operating results and operating cash flows will continue to improve throughout the remainder 2010. Therefore, we reaffirm our previous guidance of revenues of approximately $10.2 million and net income of approximately $1.8 million in 2010," concluded Mr. Zhou.
