JINAN, China, March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pansoft
Company Limited (NASDAQ: PSOF) ("Pansoft" or the "Company"), a
leading ERP software service provider for the oil and gas industry
in China, today announced that the
Company has acquired the remaining 20% stake in Pansoft
(Japan) Company Limited, now
making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Pansoft.
Pansoft (Japan) was established
in August 2010 to provide outsourcing
functions for Japanese clients, initially in the area of cell-phone
software testing. Pansoft originally owned an 80% stake in the
joint venture, with two Japanese companies, Management Information
Center Co., Ltd. and Seven Colors Corporation (the "Partners"),
owning the remaining 20% stake. The Company acquired the Partners'
20% stake at no additional cost due to their failure to meet the
terms of the joint-venture agreement, specifically to transfer
sufficient orders from their pre-existing Japanese clients to the
joint venture. The share transfer agreement was drafted in
mid-February and executed recently.
"It is unfortunate that our Partners did not fulfill the terms
of our agreement and forfeited their stake in Pansoft (Japan)," commented Mr. Hugh Wang, Pansoft's Chairman. "The main
issue was the Partners' inability to fulfill the terms of the
agreement regarding their pre-existing clients, and this issue has
delayed Pansoft (Japan)'s reaching
profitability. Since the start-up of Pansoft (Japan) in late 2010, we and our Partners have
successfully established other channels and clients, and recent
results have shown that the outsourcing-service business is on a
clear growth path and will generate a good return on our investment
and efforts. We will continue to guide its path to
profitability and expect Pansoft-Japan to reach break-even in the
2012 calendar year."
