Revenue
During the third quarter of 2009, large software system integration and development projects comprised a higher proportion of total revenue. The total value of our revenue was $2,205,469 reflecting a 1.6% slight increase from $2,171,038 in third quarter of 2008. The flat revenue increase in this period comparing to the same period in 2008 was due to the seasonality nature of our revenue pattern. The large proportion of revenue is usually recognized in the last quarter of a year. During the first nine months of 2009, revenue in total value was $5,145,375 reflecting a 45% increase from $3,548,302 in the first nine months of 2008. The significant increase in our sales was due to a large sales contract with our major client in the first quarter of 2009 to provide equipment for system implementation and new business contract signed by our new Hong Kong branch, in addition to the organic growth with our running projects as well as natural extension of the large system projects completed in the past.
Cost of sales
Our cost of revenue increased by $333,344, or 48%, to $1,028,347, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $695,003 for the same period in 2008. Our cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,743,265, reflecting a 59% increase from $1,725,420 for the same period in 2008. The large increase in cost as compared to the increase in revenue due to increase employees' compensation cost, which comprises a major part of our operating cost, as result of recruitment of a large number of employees (nearly doubled our project implementation and development team) to match the demand from the fast business growth.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our gross profit was $1,177,122, compared to $1,476,035 for the same period in 2008, reflecting a 20.3% decrease. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 our gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 53.4%, from 68% for the same period in 2008. This 14.6% decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to increase in cost associated with faster business growth in the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our gross profit was $2,402,110, compared to $1,822,882 for the same period in 2008, reflecting a 31.8% increase.

Operating Expense
Operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, selling expenses, professional fees and stock option expense and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our management, finance and administrative staff. Professional fee covers expenses for legal counsel and other advisor fees, audit fees and service charges associated with corporate publicity and investor relations. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our operating expenses increased to $492,487 from $205,107 for the three month period ended at September 30, 2008, or a 140% increase. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our general and administrative expenses slightly decreased to $116,968, from $130,828 or the three months ended September 30, 2008, or a 10.6% decrease. The increase in selling expenses (by 1012%, from the period to period) was primarily due to the overhead allocation to the newly established sales and marketing department. Operating expenses also included a increase of 379% in the expenses for professional fee for the services relating to our SEC compliance requirement and publicity in the U.S., accounted for 26% of the total operating expenses, and 290% increase in the non-cash expense of stock options issued to our employees, accounted for 31% of our total operating expenses. These expenses contributed significantly to the total increase of our operating expenses during this period as compared to the same period in 2008 in which we did not incur any such expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our administrative expenses increased to $366,210, from $211,091 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, or a 73.5% increase, from a period to a period due to the bonus payment in the first quarter to the employees for their performance in 2008. Our selling expense increased significantly for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 for the same reason stated above. Additionally, for the same reason stated above, the professional fee and stock option cost allocated increased significantly, 238% and 1170% respectively, in this period as new expense items as compared to the same period in 2008.

Income from operations was $684,635, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a 46% decrease from $1,270,928 for the same period in 2008 because of a large increase in stock option cost amortized and professional fees paid in the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, income from operations was $1,026,958, or a 30.2% decrease from $1,470,818 for the same period in 2008 because of high revenue growth in first nine months of 2009.

Pansoft Jinan is a Foreign Investment Enterprise or FIE engaged in the advanced technology industry which entitles it to a two-year exemption from income tax before 2008 and then started to pay income tax at the rate of 12.5%, 50% cut from the regular income tax rate, due to its FIE tax deduction status granted by PRC tax authorities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Working Capital
As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,838,583
A large proportion of our cash and cash equivalents consist of proceeds from the IPO which was completed in September 2008. Such proceeds have been reserved for potential future strategic transactions, including potential mergers and acquisitions, and investment in developing new businesses or customer bases. Management believes that the Company's current available working capital should be adequate to sustain its operations at current levels through at least the next twelve months and will provide the Company with the funds necessary to execute its business expansion strategies.
Comparison of Nine months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $137,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an decrease of $352,766 compared to cash used in operations of $490,624 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from the following changes in operating assets and liabilities:
??? $657,603 decrease in accounts receivable ??? $1,796,953 increase in unbilled revenues
??? $36,571 increase in prepayments, deposits and other receivables ??? $102,273 increase in inventories
??? $687,904 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ??? $57,426 increase in deferred revenue
Account receivable is the revenue recognized based on percentage completion of the projects and has been billed to the client. The decrease in accounts receivable was due to the fact that the contract payments from major customers have picked up during the first nine months in 2009.while we experienced rapid revenue growth. Unbilled revenue represents accumulated unbilled amount of revenue recognized, based on the Company's revenue recognition policy. The increase in unbilled revenue was due to the fact that large proportion of the revenue recognized has yet been invoiced to our client.
The increase in prepayments, deposits and other receivables resulted from more deposit or prepayment to kick off projects from our clients.
The increase in inventories was resulted from the fact that the hardware equipment purchased for clients and has not been expensed to our cost of sales.
The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is the result of more payments made for these liabilities.
Deferred revenue represents advance payments not recognized as revenue. The increase was resulted from the increase of advanced payments for such projects.
Net cash used investing activities was $202,152 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $566,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 mainly occurred to acquire computer equipment for software development projects.
Cash flows from financing activities amounted to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The Company's working capital increased from $14,267,469 as of December 31, 2008 to $15,819,779 as of September 30, 2009.
Total current assets at September 30, 2009 amounted to $16,649,344, a decrease of $929,960 compared to $15,719,384 at December 31, 2008. The slight decrease was mainly due to decrease in the cash and equivalent account.
Current liabilities amounted to $829,565 on September 30, 2009 decreased by $622,350 compared to $1,451,915 at December 31, 2008. This decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease of in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in this period. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly consisted of payables for management bonus, salary accruals and audit fees. The Company paid out most of fiscal 2008 outstanding account payable balance and employee bonus accrual during first half year of 2009. In addition, the Company accrued $391,967 for both current and deferred income taxes.
The current ratio decreased from 21.64 at September 30, 2008 to 20.1 at September 30, 2009. The Company's management believes the current ratio indicates strong operating liquidity and expansion investment funds available for Company use.
Seasonality of Our Sales
Historically, the Company's operating results and operating cash flows were subject to seasonal variations. The Company's revenues recognized in the first two quarters are usually lower in proportion of that for the whole year. This is due to the fact that the Company generates revenue primarily through software systems development, integration and provision of related support services provided to large oil businesses in China. It is common for our large clients to sign large contracts in later quarters, especially fourth quarter of a year. We expect this pattern to continue and possibly increase as a result of new market opportunities and new client development.
Inflation
Inflation did not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance arrangements.
Business Outlook
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our revenue was $5.1 million, a 45% increase compared to $3.5 million of revenue reported during the same period in 2008. We continue to reiterate our projection of 40% annual revenue growth made in the beginning of 2009 based on accomplishments achieved so far this year and the expectation that a large proportion of our revenue will be recognized in the last quarter in 2009. Achievement of this projection is dependent on successful conclusion of certain contracts that are awaiting final approval with major customers during the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter 2009, our net income decreased as compared to that in the same period in 2008, primarily due to increases in non-cash charges of option expense and professional service charges, which together account for 57% of total operating costs in the third quarter 2009, and represent an increase of 290% and 379%, respectively, from the same period in 2008. Additionally, the small top line growth was mainly driven by a difference in the timing of revenue recognition. Costs for most on-going projects was front-loaded in the early quarters, while a large proportion of our revenue can only be recognized when the contracts are concluded which we expect will occur in the last quarter of the fiscal year. We expect our profit margins to improve significantly once this fourth quarter revenue is recognized.
We believe that demand for our services will continue to grow as a result of our brand name and reputation for delivering high quality services at competitive prices in the ERP industry in China. We intend to continue delivering solid revenue and to ramp up our development capacity focusing on building a pipeline of new business by leveraging our significant technology and application know-how in providing customized and system integration services. Meanwhile, we will continue to maintain our corporate policy of controlling and reducing costs and expenses. With a strong cash reserve, we are seeking potential acquisition targets that will allow us to enter into new markets and further expand our revenue base and improve profit margin.
