Xinhua Group is shifting its main business to high growth areas such as application-to-person messaging (“A2P”) business through Xinhua Mobile and finds the Corporation a perfect fit for its plans. The Corporation–s A2P business started generating revenue in the month of April 2014. Revenue for the first quarter ended June 30, 2014 and second quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $78,115 and $104,836 respectively. A2P revenue was expected to increase in the current quarter ending December 31, 2014. Table 1 below shows the monthly revenue generated for the A2P business in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and a forecast of the monthly revenue for the month of November 2014 and December 31, 2014. As a parent company of the Corporation, Xinhua Mobile will allow the Corporations– management team to leverage on its existing technology and operations to start and grow mobile business in China and Japan. Xinhua Group is confident that the Corporation can generate net profits in its A2P business if the quarterly revenue of the A2P business grows to approximately $4,643,000.

In order to become a dominant A2P messaging player in Asia, the Corporation will need to raise substantial capital. If Xinhua Mobile becomes a majority shareholder of the Corporation, Xinhua Holdings, through its listing in Japan can help finance the Corporation–s business. Having a listed parent with access to the Japanese capital market will give tremendous leverage to the Corporation–s future fund raising efforts. “We are delighted that we can leverage on Xinhua Group–s resources to raise capital and accelerate our growth in Asia especially China and Japan,” said Joel Chin, CEO of GINSMS.
Moving forward, the Corporation feels that A2P will be the dominant revenue contributor for the Corporation. The revenue contribution of Software Products and Services to the total revenue of the Corporation is expected to decrease from 72% for the quarter ended September 2014 to 27% for the month of December 2014 (refer to Table 2), and is expected to further decrease to below 5% by year 2017. The contribution to total gross profit of GINSMS by Software Products and Services is also expected to decrease from 96% for the quarter ended September 2014 to 83% for the month of December 2014 (refer to Table 3), and is expected to further decrease to below 15% by year 2017.
