According to the Company -- a rapidly growing integrated licensed insurance service provider, which operates www.soobao.cn, one of China's leading insurance services web portals -- the main driver of growth in the quarter was a doubling of sales achieved by the completion of projects in its software development business which translated to revenues of approximately $1.32 million, or about 32% of total revenues in the period.
The Company said the revenue contribution from online insurance advertising, while up significantly year to date, was about flat in the fiscal 2009 third quarter compared with the third quarter last year. Online advertising nevertheless contributed about 66% of total sales in the quarter, while costs of the business remained stable. The Company said these results were primarily due to the non-renewal of some insurance agent contracts in the period, explaining that advertising sales are generated by the number of insurance agents that place advertisements on the Company's website.
During the quarter the Company also saw a small decline in the contribution from insurance agency operations, primarily due to prevailing economic conditions.
Nine Month Net Revenues Were up 54%; Net Income Declined 4%
In the nine months ended March 31, 2009, net revenues rose 54% to $13,047,434 from $8,469,275 in the same period in fiscal 2008. The Company said this was mainly on the strength of online insurance advertising sales which rose 67% from the year earlier period to approximately $9.8 million, representing 73% of the Company's year to date total revenues. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the number of teams of insurance agents that placed ads rose to 76 from 50 a year earlier, and 186 ad contracts were in place in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with 134 in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 rose 56% to approximately $11.9 million compared to approximately $7.6 million in the prior year period. In the second quarter this year the Company recorded a $934,987 provision for doubtful accounts which it did not add to in the third quarter. The second quarter also included expenses from the launch in late 2008 of an advertising campaign, which through the end of the third quarter totaled approximately $1.9 million. Mainly due to these expenses, as well as an approximately $661,000 increase in income taxes, net income in the fiscal 2009 nine month period was down about 4% to $5,447,822 compared with $5,648,389 in the same period last year. Reflecting an increase in average weighted shares outstanding at the end of the 2009 third quarter to 40,000,000, from 31,096,530 in the same period last year, nine month EPS was $0.14 in fiscal 2009, compared with $0.18 in the prior year nine month period.
Outlook
Ms. Betty Xu, CEO of China INSOnline, commented, "We continue to remain focused on our goal of making www.soobao.cn the premier site for insurance advertisers and a growing source of insurance sales commissions by developing it into the largest network portal in China's insurance industry. This requires an ongoing effort to popularize the site in all key first and second tier cities throughout the country. At the same time, we are continuing to build our technical know-how and to commit the necessary resources to accomplish this, as reflected in part in our software system purchases so far this year."
Mr. Zhenyu Wang, Chairman of the Company, stated, "We continue to be aware of potential effects of the overall economic situation and have made what we believe are appropriate adjustments to optimize our performance. While our initial focus has been on online auto insurance, where we continue to expand our value-added services offerings, we will expand our property and life offerings more gradually. Pursuing our growth strategy, we also are focused on growing a comprehensive chain insurance supermarket entity to supplement the function and effect of our www.soobao.cn portal."
