Pansoft Company Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Pansoft Company Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in June 2006 in the British Virgin Islands and acquired 100% of Pansoft Jinan Co. Ltd. ("Jinan") at the same time. Jinan was incorporated in Peoples' Republic of China ("PRC"). Upon acquisition by the Company, Jinan became a Foreign Investment Enterprise. Jinan is engaged in the development and marketing of accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software primarily to resource and utility companies across the PRC.
Prior to the incorporation of the Company, Jinan was 100% owned by employees who ultimately became the controlling shareholders of the Company. As such, the opening retained earnings presented on the consolidated balance sheet and statements of shareholders' equity are presented using the continuity of interest method of accounting. Under this method, all activities of Jinan are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as if the Company had been the parent company for all periods presented.
On September 8, 2008, the Company completed an initial public offering of 1,200,000 common shares at $7.00 per share. The Company shares started trading on NASDAQ Capital Market the next day. Prior to the completion of IPO, the Company completed a 169.5253-for-one stock split to be effected in the form of a stock dividend to holders of ordinary shares.
In December 2008, the Company established its subsidiary, Pansoft (Hong Kong) Limited ("Hong Kong") to serve the overseas customers.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain footnote disclosures and financial information normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jinan and Hong Kong. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is comprised of cash on hand and at banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the period end. An allowance for doubtful receivables is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. Bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $Nil (2008 - $51,019), for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $Nil (2008 - $51,019)
Unbilled revenue
Unbilled revenue represents the accumulated unbilled amount of revenue recognized, based on the Company's revenue recognition policy.
Inventory
Inventory comprises hardware equipment and software purchased for reselling and is recorded at lower of cost and net realizable value.
Management periodically compares cost of inventory with market and records a reserve for obsolescence when necessary. The reserve for inventory obsolescence was $Nil at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Pansoft Company Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Work in progress
Work in progress is the deferred costs of revenue relate to contracts and such costs are stated at actual production costs incurred to date, which primarily includes labor which is directly related to the contract. Work in progress is amortized to cost of revenues at the time revenue is recognized.
Software development cost capitalization
The costs for software system development under the projects for future sales to clients, which mainly consists of payroll cost, are capitalized once the technical feasibility is established after its designing stage is completed and the economic feasibility is established based on the customer ordering orientation. The cost capitalized is amortized over one year period when the sales occurred once the sale contracts are signed.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the expected useful lives of the property and equipment with 5% residual value using the following methods and annual rates:
Computer equipment | - 5 years straight line |
Vehicles | - 5 years straight line |
Office furniture | - 5 years straight line |
Leasehold improvement | - 3 years straight line |
Computer software | - 3 years straight line |
Maintenance and repairs expenditures, which do not improve or extend an assets' productive life, are expensed as incurred.
Research and software development costs
Research costs are charged to expense as incurred. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed. Software development costs incurred between the establishment of technological feasibility and product release are capitalized, if material, and amortized over the estimated economic life of the product, which is generally three years. Research and development costs expensed for three months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $18,299 (2008 - $18,282) and for nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $54,886 (2008 - $53,708).The research and software development costs were included in cost of sales. These amounts are the amortization expense associated with capitalized software development cost. (Note 5)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held for use are periodically reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. When the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows on an undiscounted basis and the carrying value exceeds the assets' fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value.
Government grants
Research grants received from PRC government agencies or private enterprises are recognized as deferred grants and offset against the corresponding research expenses as and when they are incurred for the research projects for which these grants are received.
Income taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" method, which was primarily codified into the Topic 740 “Income Taxes” in the ASC, income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on income tax assets and liabilities is reflected in operations in the period in which the change occurs. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce future tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Pansoft Company Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, "("FIN 48"), which was primarily codified into the Topic 740 “Income Taxes” in the ASC. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48. The Company files income tax returns in the PRC jurisdictions. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the year. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses, temporary differences, and preferential tax treatment.
Value added taxes
Jinan calculates, collects from customers, and remits to governmental authorities value added taxes assessed by governmental authorities in connection with revenue-producing transactions with its customers. The Company reports these taxes on a net basis and does not include these tax amounts in revenue or cost of revenue. Jinan, as a consequence of being in the high-tech industry, sometimes receives special refunds of VAT remitted; this is included as a reduction of cost of sales.
Revenue recognition
The Company enters into software development contracts that are fixed fee arrangements to render specific software consulting, development, modification, training, and implementation and maintenance services. The percentage of completion method is applied to these contracts that involve the provision of services relating to the development or implementation of complex software applications, because these services are essential to the functionality of other elements in the arrangement.
Under this method, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion basis and is calculated based on actual labor cost or labor hours incurred at specific milestones and compared to the estimated total labor cost or labor hours for the services under the arrangement, so long as persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, certain milestones have been achieved or delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Management regularly reviews underlying estimates of total expected labor costs or hours. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized when final acceptance is received by the Company from the customer. Amounts received in advance of revenue are reported as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the resultant loss is recognized in full immediately, without reference to the percentage of completion. To date, the Company has not experienced material losses on contracts in process or completed contracts. Revisions to contract revenue, contract costs and profit estimates, which can be significant, are reflected in the accounting period in which the relevant facts become known.
For software development contracts, the Company sometimes provides its customers with a limited warranty of approximately one year following the customer's initial acceptance of the completed project. The last 5% of the contract price is considered the milestone for the warranty period on such contracts. For these contracts with warranty clauses, 5% of the contract amount is not recognized as revenue or invoiced until the warranty period expires.
From time to time, the Company enters into general IT service arrangements with their customers, where the Company is obligated to perform professional services, such as unspecific upgrades and technical support. This revenue is recognized based on the actual service hours and the hourly rate agreed by clients in advance. Occasionally, such services were rendered to cover a specified period of time. This revenue is recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis. Some of these arrangements are entered into agreements with customers who have engaged the Company to develop software systems. However, the general IT services are always arranged after the software development contracts are completed or may not be directly related to the system the Company developed for these customers under the software development contracts. There is no warranty provided for general IT service arrangements.
Advertising Costs
The advertising costs are charged to expenses when incurred and are included in selling expenses. The advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $16,685 (2008 - $Nil).
The advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $16,685 (2008 - $Nil).

The Company's functional currency is the Chinese RMB and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", which was primarily codified into the Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” in the ASC. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Statements of operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for theperiod. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which was primarily codified in the Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” in the ASC.The following exchange rates were used:
| | September30, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | | | September 30, 2008 | |
Period end RMB U.S. Dollar exchange rate | | | 6.8263 | | | | 6.8225 | | | | 6.7899 | |
Average period RMB U.S. Dollar exchange rate | | | 6.8324 | | | | 6.9477 | | | | 6.8375 | |
The foreign currency translation adjustment of $10,469 (2008 - $58,851) has been reported as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income for three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the foreign currency translation adjustment of $7,248 (2008 - $352,879) has been reported as other comprehensive loss (2008 - income) in the consolidated statement of income.
Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.
Substantially all the Company's revenue and expenses are denominated in RMB. The Company's RMB cash inflows are sufficient to service its RMB expenditures. For financial reporting purposes, the Company uses U.S. dollars. The value of the RMB against U.S. dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company's financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments”, which was primarily codified into the Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, that requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is the sum of net income and other comprehensive income reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income or loss includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income on its consolidated statements of shareholders' equity.
Earnings per share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Computation of Earnings per Share," which was primarily codified into the Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and short-term debts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
The financial assets and liabilities of the Company subject to fair value measurements and the necessary disclosures are as follows:
Fair Value Measurements Using | | | Assets/Liabilities | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | At Fair Value | |
Cash equivalents | | $ | 9,126,401 | | | | - | | | | - | | | $ | 9,126,401 | |
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s financial statement presentation. These reclassification had no impact on previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. Recently Changes in Accounting Standards
Recent accounting pronouncement adopted
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the single source of authoritative U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC superseded all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and any prior sources of U.S. GAAP not included in the ASC or grandfathered are not authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The ASC did no change current U.S. GAAP but changes the approach by referencing authoritative literature by topic (each a “Topic”) rather than by type of standard. The ASC has been effective for the Company effective July 1, 2009. Adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but references in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to former FASB positions, statements, interpretations, opinions, bulletins or other pronouncements are now presented as references to the corresponding Topic in the ASC.
Effective January 1, 2009, the first day of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 (formerly FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company will apply ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 prospectively to intangible assets acquired subsequent to the adoption date. The adoption of these revised provisions had no impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815-10-65 (formerly SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), which amends and expands previously existing guidance on derivative instruments to require tabular disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses., This ASC also requires disclosure regarding the credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 (formerly FSP FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement 157"), which deferred the provisions of previously issued fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to the first fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2008. Deferred nonfinancial assets and liabilities include items such as goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FASB ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810-10-65 (formerly SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51"), which amends previously issued guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. Among other requirements, this Statement requires that the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. The adoption of the provisions in this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-10, (formerly SFAS 141R, "Business Combinations"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree and the goodwill acquired. In addition, the provisions in this ASC require that any additional reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowance established in connection with our fresh start reporting on January 7, 1998 be recorded as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction to the goodwill established in connection with the fresh start reporting. The Company will apply ASC 805-10 to any business combinations subsequent to adoption.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-20 (formerly FSP FAS 141R-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies"), which amends ASC 805-10 to require that an acquirer recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of such an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, the acquirer should apply the provisions of ASC Topic 450, Contingences, to determine whether the contingency should be recognized at the acquisition date or after such date. FSP The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65 (formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"), which amends previous guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 320-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments"). Under ASC 320-10-65, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized if the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or the Company is more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In addition, ASC 320-10-65 requires impairments related to credit loss, which is the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis for each security, to be recognized in earnings while impairments related to all other factors to be recognized in other comprehensive income. The adoption of ASC 320-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly"), which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
New accounting pronouncement to be adopted
In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (formerly FASB FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets”), which expands the disclosure requirements about plan assets for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans. The Company is required to adopt these disclosure requirements in the fourth quarter of 2009. It is expected the adoption of these disclosure requirements will have no material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (not yet reflected in FASB ASC). SFAS No. 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The
standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities,” along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (i.e. the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010), for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (not yet reflected in FASB ASC). The standard amends FIN No. 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary are also required by the standard. SFAS No. 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN No. 46(R). This Statement will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (i.e. the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. As such, the Company will adopt this Statement for interim and annual periods ending after January 1, 2010. It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August, 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05 (“Update 2009-05”) to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities under FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements"). The Company is required to adopt Update 2009-05 in the fourth quarter of 2009. It is expected the adoption of this Update will have no material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASC Updates:
ASU No. 2009-14 - Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (formerly EITF Issue No. 09-3) . This standard removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and also provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product, such as embedded software, are within the scope of the software revenue guidance.
ASU No. 2009-13 - Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1). This standard modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction. This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.
These Accounting Standards Updates should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt these standards on a retrospective basis, but both these standards must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method. The Company expects to apply this standard on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact these standards may have on its financial position and results of operations.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

6. Statutory Reserves
In accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, all wholly-owned foreign invested enterprises have to set aside a portion of their net income each year as statutory reserves. The proportion of allocation for reserve funds is no less than 10 percent of the profit after tax until the accumulated amount of allocation for statutory surplus reserve funds reaches 50 percent of the registered capital. Statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. Statutory reserves are to be utilized to offset prior years' losses, or to increase its share capital. When a limited liability company converts its statutory reserves to capital in accordance with a shareholders' resolution, the Company will either distribute new shares in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder, or increase the par value of each share. Except for the reduction of losses incurred, any other usage should not result in this reserve balance falling below 25% of the registered capital. The funds accumulated by Jinan as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $363,063, no additional reserves have been taken during the first three quarters of fiscal 2009.

7. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the PRC. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
In 2007, Pansoft's operating subsidiary Jinan was subject to the enterprise income tax at the reduced applicable rate of 7.5%, as Jinan was classified as a "software enterprise" and "high-technology enterprise" business. The Company was able to enjoy a further reduction to 0% due to being a foreign investment enterprise ("FIE").
On March 16, 2007, The National People's Congress of China passed "The Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax" (the "Enterprise Income Tax Law"). The Enterprise Income Tax Law became effective on January 1, 2008. This new law eliminated the existing preferential tax treatment that is available to the FIEs but provides grandfathering of the preferential tax treatment currently enjoyed by the FIE's. Under the new law, both domestic companies and FIE's are subject to a unified income tax rate of 25%. Jinan's two-year tax holiday ended in December 2007 and is currently eligible for the 50% exemption from tax for the years ending December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2010 under the grandfathering provisions in the Enterprise Income Tax Law.
A reconciliation of consolidated corporate income taxes at the statutory rate of 12.5% (2008: 12.5%) and the Company's effective income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are shown as follows:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS No. 123(R)) and SAB No. 107, which was primarily codified to the Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company's stock and the risk-free rate. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.
The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarized the options granted in 2008 and 2009.
The assumptions used in the stock option valuation are as follow:
Grant Date | September 8, 2008 | December 13, 2008 | December 13, 2008 | May 22, 2009 |
Number of option | 321,000 | 31,000 | 15,000 | 14,000 |
Exercise Price | $7.00 | $2.74 | $2.74 | $5.20 |
Expected Life | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
Volatility | 75% | 75% | 75% | 14% |
Risk free rate | 2.98% | 1.05% | 1.55% | 2.98% |
Dividend yield | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
Option value | $4.39 | $1.39 | $1.72 | $0.73 |
Transactions involving stock options issued to non employees are summarized as follows:
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted Average Price Per Share | |
| | | | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2008: | | | 367,000 | | | | $6.47 | |

Outstanding at September 30, 2009: | | | 367,000 | | | | $6.48 | |
In September 2008, the Company granted 321,000 options to its directors, management and key employees at an exercise price of $7.00, vesting at a rate of 20% per year for five years. The fair value of these stock options was determined to be $4.39 per stock option. In December 2008, the Company granted 46,000 options to its directors, financial advisor and Interim CFO at an exercise price of $2.74. The vesting rate is 33% per year for two years and 34% for one year for the options granted to the directors and advisor and at the rate of 20% per year for five years for the options granted to Interim CFO. The fair value of these stock options was determined to be $1.39 and 1.72 per stock option, respectively. In August 19, 2009, the Company granted 140,000 options to its new appointed director. The grant date of the stock options granted was stated as May 22, 2009, and at an exercise price of $5.20. The vesting rate is 33% per year for two years and 34% for one year. The fair value of these stock options was determined to be $0.73 per stock option. The stock option granted had been approved during the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 20, 2009.
In May 22 2009, one of the directors resigned form the board. The resigned director owned 7,000 stock options that granted on September 2008 with the exercise price of $7.00, vesting at a rate of 20% per year for five years and 7,000 stock options with the exercise price of $2.74, vesting at a rate 33% per year for two years and 34% for one year. The director shall have a period of three months commencing with the date of resignation, during which to exercise this option. The resigned director did not exercise any stock options before the end of the Expiration Date August 21, 2009. The stock option would be expired and no longer be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.
A total of $151,127 and $38,815 was included in the stock option expense for the 3 months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there was approximately $842,206 and $1,276,028, respectively of unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested share-based arrangements granted under the Company's stock option plan.

10. Financial Instruments
Concentrations of credit risk
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Management is of the opinion that any risk of accounting loss is significantly reduced due to the financial strength of the Company's major customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and evaluates management performance based on proceeds collected from projects. Consequently, exposure to credit risk is limited accordingly.
The credit risk on the cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.
The Company is exposed to currency risk as the Company's business is carried out in RMB and the Company maintains RMB denominated bank accounts but uses U.S. dollars as its reporting currency. Unfavorable changes in the exchange rate between RMB and U.S. dollars may result in a material effect on accumulated other comprehensive income recorded as a charge in shareholders' equity. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
In addition, the RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The Company's subsidiaries are allowed to pay outstanding current account obligations in foreign currency but must present the proper documentation to a designated foreign exchange bank. There is no certainty that all future local currency can be repatriated.
11. Economic Dependence
For three months ended September 30, 2009, three customers individually comprised 35%, 30% and 12% of revenue, compared with 28%, 21% and 12% respectively in 2008. The subsidiaries of the Company's three major customers accounted for 9% of revenue (2008 – 19%).
For nine months ended September 30, 2009, three customers individually comprised 35%, 26% and 11%of revenue, compared with 28%, 17% and 11% respectively in 2008. The subsidiaries of the Company's three major customers accounted for 17% of revenue (2008 – 27%).
There were three customers that individually comprise 35%, 23% and 19% of account receivable as of September 30, 2009. Three customers individually made up 31%, 24% and 15% of account receivable of December 31, 2008.

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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 46.7%, slight decrease from 51.4% for the same period in 2008.

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.

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.

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. Current income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $397. The deferred income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $33,367 as result of temporary differences. No tax provision was required in the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, current income tax expense was $12,782 and deferred income tax for the future income expense was $200,860.
Net Income and Comprehensive Income
As a result of the factors described above, net income was $688,055 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $373,814, or 35.2%, from 1,061,869 for the same period in 2008. Comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $698,524, a decrease of 37.7% from $1,120,720 for the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to a much smaller currency exchange gain of $10,469 that was included in other comprehensive income in this reporting period because of the relatively flat exchange rate between that US dollar and Chinese RMB. In contrast, there was a currency exchange gain of $58,851 in the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income of $1,071,275 decreased by $233,080, or 17.9% from $1,304,355 for the same period in 2008. In the same period, comprehensive income was $1,064,027, decreased by 35.8% from $1,657,234 for the same period in 2008 due to the unfavorable currency exchange rate.
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Concentrations of credit risk
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Management is of the opinion that any risk of accounting loss is significantly reduced due to the financial strength of the Company's major customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and evaluates management performance based on proceeds collected from projects. Consequently, exposure to credit risk is accordingly limited.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk as the Company's business is carried out in RMB and the Company maintains RMB denominated bank accounts but uses U.S. dollars as its reporting currency. Unfavorable changes in the currency exchange rate between RMB and U.S. dollars may result in a material effect on accumulated other comprehensive income recorded as a charge in shareholders' equity. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
In addition, the RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The Company's subsidiaries are allowed to pay outstanding current account obligations in foreign currency but must present the proper documentation to a designated foreign exchange bank. There is no certainty that all future local currency can be repatriated.
Market risk
Our market risks at September 30, 2009 have not changed materially from those discussed in Item 7A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2009, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the third quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We received net proceeds of $8,392,920 from our IPO in September 2008. As of September 30, 2009, such proceeds were maintained in our cash account and invested in low-risk certificate of bank deposits issued by banks in China. Given the current world-wide financial crisis and economic recession, we have taken a strong precautionary position in our capital spending and investment decisions and therefore have not used our proceeds from the IPO. When the timing and the specific opportunity become feasible and available in the future, we intend to use such proceeds to invest in new projects or acquire new businesses, or otherwise use it for general corporate purposes
