    eFuture's IPO Was Severely Underpriced [view article]

    Don't blame the bankers, the float is tight and all Chinese stocks are laden with speculative fervor.....     Reply

    I was wondering why EFUT uses unaudited financial statements. Reply

    Hi Mr. Yan

    1. I'm a little concerned with the Insider selling as of late. C Tech holdings recently sold 9 million worth of your stock as a Planned Sale (Source: Etrade). This leaves you with no institutional shareholders (Source: Etrade). Additionally, your COO recently sold a substantial stake (when compared to Market Cap).

    Insider sells can sometimes signal that management does not have faith in the ability of the stock to rise in the near future. Can you please provide a comment on that?

    2. Also, if it is not too much to ask, I am interested to know what your financial stake in the company is. The reason I am asking is because I try to invest in companies where the CEO has a substantial stake in the business. I understand if you feel this question is too personal, but I just thought I would ask.

    3. My last question concerns your sales in regards to Software vs. Service revenues. I realize that a large proportion of your sales come from the initial purchase a company makes of your software. What I'm trying to find out is how much you expect to receive in Service Charges for that existing customer. Any real world numbers example you could give would be helpful.

    For example: a typical company makes an initial purchase of $500K for your software, and then typically pays X amount of dollars per year for Service-related activities.

    Thanks in advance for your time and diligence.

    You seem to be amassing a rather large amount of cash. I noticed that in Q4 2006 you received about 5 million dollars through financing.

    What are you planning to do with this stockpile of cash? It would seem that you are saving it up for something. I am interested in knowing your intent.

    You have very low operating costs, so I can only assume that you plan acquisitions in the near future.

    Please inform.

    Thanks.     Reply

    Vincent, your revenue assumptions are correct. We are confident on our projection of at least 59% growth to $10 million of revenues for the full year 2007. This is driven by our robust organic growth as I mentioned earlier, the first half of the year is typically the weakest period and the fourth quarter the strongest period. And our recent acquisition of Crownhead and its subsidiary Royalstone in Aug 1,2007will also contribute significant revenue on the next half year of 2007.
    Please refer to previous answers above to Doug F. and Sam M. as we have already addressed similar questions to yours in detail above. Thank you.

    Hi, Adam, as we know, the revenues for 1st half year was $2.5 million, revenues for the 2nd half year will be $7.5 million. It is 3 times more than the 1st half year, I wonder, how much do the total costs to be, in other word, is the balance positive or negative? Reply

    That's very timely question as those markets are continuing to develop their existing infrastructures. We are software provider to manufactures and retailers etc across industries, but most of them are focusing on the Chinese market. Reply

    Hi, Yale, as I mentioned earlier, the Chinese retail market is still the beginning of transforming from a small-scale, highly fragmented, provincial operating model to a modern, large-scale cross-regional one. For the IT solution, there is no dominant competitor for e-Future. e-Future is Chinese domestic software provider with over 10 years of in depth understanding of manufacturers, distributors and retailers as well as customer behavior. Our front-end solutions, like CRM are more readily adaptable to the highly fragmented market for our clients. Regarding the global key accounts and top 500 retailer client base, we are more collaborate with international software companies SAP, JDA and Oracle etc as partners rather than competing with each other. For instance, SAP is very strong supply chain back-end data base management provider - which is a mature and efficient solution in the western markets. However, in China, they need to work with local front-end solutions providers such as e-Future to serve the retail environment. We have already successfully co-developed customized solutions for several key accounts with them.

    For the regional market, our competitors are typically local median-size software firms. For instance, Crownhead and its subsidiary Royalstone are leading providers in Southern China, by our recent acquisition, we can now better serve our clients both in Northern and Southern china. Overall, we are the largest supply chain software provider for the retail and FMCC markets.

    Hi Adam,

    I've never heard of your company until this morning when I received my SA email alert and saw your Q&A. This interview is quite informative but I want real meat and potatoes about the competitive environment you face.

    Can you explain who your main competitors are and what your competitive advantage is?

    Cheers - Yale     Reply

    Hi, Vincent, EFUT, as well as every other publicly traded issuer, has no protection against unsavory trading and naked shorting of its stock. They do however have recourse. Were the stock to appear on any threshold or failure to deliver lists (per the NASD), the company can investigate the improprieties through the proper channels, find the individual(s) responsible and put a stop to it. By the way, EFUT has over 1.75million float, which is over 60% of 2.63million outstanding. Thanks Reply

    Hi Adam, thank you for the quick response. I didn't see your site before August, so I can't comment on that. I only just discovered you now on Seeking Alpha's homepage. Glad to hear that you are rolling out a new site in the near future. Reply
